Black Country, New Road

Ants From Up There

Finally giving me some time to write something over the most hyped album of the last year
This shit had me crying for weeks, i think even months straight and just because of "Basketball Shoes" & "TPWHITB"
This is a beautiful album sincerely, knowing the background of BC,NR releasing this album makes it hit harder, trying to fill the shoes of Isaac through all the album its hard, how hard he was fighting, and i think just writing to have anything to say at all.

Sempre vi muita gente falando bem desse álbum e dizendo que era um dos álbuns da década e acho que isso acabou afetando minha experiência com o álbum por eu estar esperando algo bem surpreendente e chocante. O álbum não tem muitos momentos memoráveis na minha opinião e em alguns momentos chega a ser entediante. Mas obviamente isso é só a minha opinião.

This album has been on my Todo list for a long time now, probably since last year. Let's just say that this album is beautifully devastating. The instrumentation, screaming vocals, and great writing make this album an experience. I loved all the tracks on here, but some more than others. But overall, this is an amazing album.

don't get me wrong, this album is absolutely one of the best to come from 2022. I loved it! But it just isn't THE best in my opinion.

I'm honestly embarrassed it took me this long to finally listen to this album. But I'm honestly sad I listened to it now, because i know for a fact I'd have a completely different perspective on it if i first listened to it at a time where I was in a much more emotional place.

All around, it's a great record with great tracks, but it just isn't my sound and ... read more

I'm not exactly sure exactly why I love this album so much.

Maybe it's because it draws reference to some of my other all time favorites (i.e. Slint, Bon Iver, GY!BE, Phil Elverum).

Maybe it's because it reminds me of being so in love with someone that I fell physically ill after listening to it.

My favorite album of all time, Its just that good

Album swap with the one and only @prkrDTMU!

DAMNNNNNN. THIS was all I wanted from an alternative album. Banging production, great vocals, deep lyrics. A record so good I simply cannot choose which track was my favorite. So many highlights. Loved this.

The lyrics leave me utterly confused, but other than that it does sound nice.

went into this with high expectations and it didnt dissapoint, very good album. Might just be one of the best albums released last year from what ive heard.

Absolutely speechless. I do not take 100s lightly, yet this album is just breathtaking. A truly tragic album that is filled with such incredible melodies and soundscapes. A truly perfect album.

FAVORITES:
All of them

Why does this have 9k ratings and the band only gets 500k listens a month!!???

billie eilish style

[INCREDIBLE]
(+99) - The emotional impact this had on me is outstanding. BC,NR brings a new sound to music, with one of the best collective
performances on an album I've ever heard. This thing is consistently heart crushing, with Basketball Shoes being the depressing cherry on top of a cake of existentialism. One of the few albums to make me cry on first listen.
(-1) - Snow Globes is too damn long.

Part 11: Black Country, New Road - 'Ants From Up There':

Seeing these guys live last night (and being able to snag a setlist) inspired me to jump ahead in the list a bit and talk about an album that I find very special. Now that it's been a year and half plus since it came out, I think I've given it enough time to digest in order to say, this might be at or near the top of my favorite albums of all time. So, I MIGHT be a ... read more

This album changed my perception of music and what it can be

I swear to fucking god I do not take a 100 lightly. This album is perfect and I don't have much else to say about it. Isaac, hope you're doing well buddy.

I LOVE ARCADE FIRE!!!!

on a bad day it's a 10.

on a good day, it ruins your day. still a 10

Holy shit this album is such a work of art. I was expecting some really well-done rock album but not an emotional and raw piece of art that this was. The lead singer's voice is very unique and jarring and probably the only thing keeping this album from being fully perfect for me. His voice aids the song's emotion so well though, the cracks and breaks in his voice add so much passion and rawness to the heartbreaking stories told in these songs. The longer song lengths create absolute journeys to ... read more
