still underrated

Our site prefers future nostalgia to this goddamnit

small observation, but isn't "since i saw you last there's been many a sunset" pretty much the same sentiment as "since i left you, i found the world so new"?

oh wow we back at 76

oh wow we back at 77

whatz a fantano?

Oh no

First time agreeing with Fantano in ages.

it's official, i no longer agree with fantano

Anthony spittin though

i have developed the tolerance to his scores because his videos are well put together

I kept warning people of a fantano 5, i dont blame him, hes not into long electronic albums, gave wildflower a 7, meh'd the singles

RIP Must Hear

I SWEAR TO GOD IF THE USER SCORE GOES DOWN.

BOOOOOOO FANTANO BOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

imagine this album live... i would probably cry

This album makes me happy and sad at the same time

look at my profile picture

amazing album

The critic score is surprising, until fantano drops the 5/6

ngl this did way better than i expected. thought critic would be like 78 and user 71

considering bringing this up 1 or 2 points into my top 10 for the year, i'll give it a few more listens and decide if i will or not

a fantano 6 would be appropriate, but still meh.

Slant magazine and me relate too lmao they said the same shit i did

agree with pitvhfork, and thanks p4k for telling me weightless wasnt ambient filler

pitchfork approved

ghost story will always give me chills

Running red lights is still underappreciated

too long

a new Gorillaz album already ? Merry Christmas, everyone !

The Divine Chord is this album Since I Left You.

I loved this so much

must hear baby



wooo

A step up from Wildflower, definitely pleasantly surprised! Take Care in Your Dreaming still annoys me though

MUST HEAR LETS GO

Kinda disappointed

After listening Cudi album is the better drop IMO...ignore the score I gave it

Down down down



Oh god

I think we need to stop getting on such a negative bandwagon before albums come out smh

Ok this album is way better on speakers and in the car than on headphones.

I am to this albums comments what Garci is to MOTM3

Third listen, shit reads like a caribou album now

This site is tripping tbh, it this drops below jack Harlow lmao

This is not worse than After Hours, it’s a 79

I was right, the scores going low. Expecting a 75

the avalanches, Taylor swift, and kid cudi all dropped an album on the same day
I don’t know where to start

this album could've done without a lot of the last third or so, which is sad but it's still a great record

UK gang pull up 😎

Out in most of asia!

Predictions: 75-80 in terms of rating

Not for everyone, is their worst album

However, it’s still fucking beautiful

This album is fun, and solid concept wise


Doesn’t have the finesse of their old stuff but it’s cuter and more nimble, especially to a mainstream listener

Released in the down under

Great album. Gonna be marred by stupid review bombers who wanted since I left you 2

Okay the track Overcome is amazing

Halfway through my first listen and I'm quite conflicted so far, some of it is their best material yet and gives me the same melencholic feelings from Wildflower and Since I Left You but some of this such as Reflecting Light feels so hollow. So far We Go On is my favourite track, the one with MGMT is nice too

Released in NZ

Did it drop in Australia

The independents Review is absolutely brilliant

79 time

Whoa that score went up outta nowhere

this won't be worse than wildflower so im good w that

What’s on the line? An AOTY, or a massive disappointment

Am I the only one who likes the cover, it sucks by their standards, but based on the concept it does hit

If this isn’t good I will be personally suing the avalanches

Cover art is trash but I'm still hyped.

That score turned around.

ME ADN SMT REPRESENTING THE TOXIC AVALANCHEYS ZOOMER FANBOYS GANG EVEN THOUGH THE REAL FANBASE IS FULL OF 45 YEAR OLDS LMAO

Also someone tell me if they drop on time in Australia so I can peep it early

WOW THE SCORE LITERALLY SKYROCKETED FUCK YOU LOYD AND QUIET THOUGH

it's green! and it will be even GREENer when the arts desk score is updated!

The Arts Desk full review says 4/5, which is 80/100. The average should be higher

NME gave Wildflower a 40 and this an 80, so they're doing something right at least in their eyes

singles overhated

Wildflower aotd

Fuck you critics these men are my sugar daddies and I love them for who they are

damn yikes. fuck em this gonna be goated

no matter what the critics say, we will always love you avalanches

I liked the singles so I'm holding out hope

I still have hope..

this will be meh at best...

Yeah write it off before listening to it...
Seems people want them to make SILY for a second time. Personally enjoyed pretty much everything I’ve heard so far, nothing but good vibes

I wasn't super hyped for this since I wasn't super huge on the singles, and the critic scores are basically confirming my suspicions. Super disappointing

Looks like The Avalanches are going down the route of Have a Nice Life: Amazing debut; decent but underwhelming follow-up and completely sub-par 3rd :(

the reviews... i’m scared........

Why are people so surprised with the critic scores? The singles weren't that great, they were ok, and putting so many random artists in one album is also not the best idea, I still feel that this album will end up with the score around 70 and something.

pls be good lol

The Old Abnormal

lol

oh no

This album was bound to be mid the second it got announced. And that’s coming from an Avalanches Stan.

on the other side of the coin, this got the same score from The Arts Desk as HIFN and The New Abnormal

bruh, the arts desk like always....

The Arts Desk giving a 6/10 score probably means this album going to be BaaD.

da fuq?

Ouch first critic score

1 WEEK POG

ONE WEEK LEFT WOOOOOOOOOO

I guess the covers unsettling, but It's still ugly. All I can hope for is something similar to Velocity: Design: Comfort.

the album cover is so cool. like it's so fucking weird and unsettling

Really hoping for the best with this album, pretty sure the singles are gonna work better in the album itself

you guys have some bad tastes in album art

(feat. Rivers Cuomo & Pink Siifu) holy fucking shit WHAT

The cover looks awesome, but the singles are not

Please be good

Just started listening to Since I Left You, so this is perfect lol

Dont know what yall are on about the cover, to me it looks sick

That album cover is awful

I CAN'T WAIT AAAH!

Likely to be a late addition to the 2020 lists!

pls

Bit ambitious with that tracklist, hope it's good.

"feat. Denzel Curry" is that fucking legal???

YES YES YES THE TRACKLIST AAAAAAA

The Avalanches about to drop AOTY at the end of the year

Very lukewarm on the singles so we'll see if this lives up to the hype

this tracklist is long as HELL

Deftones and The Avalanches on the same day, just before my birthday

it will be 71 minutes apparently

So far the singles are all insanely good. Aoty alert is stroooong

What is that cover. Guys :( Guys fix the cover

This is going to be mediocre at best

Guys it only says 26 minutes on iTunes cause it's only counting the singles, it's obviously gonna be longer than that lmao

why is it 26 minutes lmfaooo

25 songs, 26 minutes. wack

aoty incoming alert

This needs more hype!

Am I the only one who has really been fucking with the singles?

!!AOTY INCOMING!!

scary

this album is going to be poggers

25 tracks? YAS!

Very neat

FUCK YEAAAA

the singles are a big slump from their last LP, which is also a huge slump from their debut. I hope the album is better in context with the singles.

this cover art is so cool

Nah this is 12 years too early
