Band: Liars

[llllllllllllllllllllllll]

the first few songs from the new record, Liars, sound, from a half-assed spinning, kind of like beck.


we shall see, Liars. we shall see.

Oh man. Please tell me they didn't puss out.

I heard this one is quite approachable. The last album never really grew on me, though when I saw them live those songs were excellent. They change with every album, which is to be applauded.

Looking forward to it!

okay, now it sounds like Ozzy.


I'm looking forward to the car test in a half hour on my way to work.

I've been into this band lately...

I'm curious about the films on Drums Not Dead... I don't buy CDs often, but i'm almost convinced to buy this one with the films as the tipping point.

I like this band... buuut sometimes they make me play "name that tune"

(that recent promo single, for example, has an outro that is almost the exact cadence from "Unbelievable" by EMF... not comdemning, just sayin'...)

I dig them quite a bit. I believe the vinyl of drum's not dead comes with the DVD as well, so buy it new.

man this is not what I expected it to sound like

You owe it to yourself to watch the dvd. Start with Julian's.

It stanks.

They need to move back into the woods. Deep, deep into the woods.

I don't like it, either. the hooks are soggy.

to the caves.

Yes! The dark, damp, cold, solitary caves. What are we talking about again?

[hip priest]

One of my faves, Liars.

The new one is really very disappointing.

[Ranxerox]

I like the Liars alot.

I cannot find any new album. Where are these downloads?

I can't even find where a new album is scheduled.

I thought Crap until Drums not Dead...
But now, Maybe not.
Kind of not crap now.

[LBx]

their live footage at Brainwashed.com had me interested but after a quick listen i'm going to have to say CRAP for their albums. i couldn't got thru an entire one.

RANK!

1. Fins to Make Us Fishlike ep
2. They Were Wrong So We Drowned
3. Drums Not Dead
4. They Threw Us all In a Trench and Stuck a Monument On Top

Have heard like, 30 seconds of the new one, can't really comment.

Later on today I'll upload the Fins... EP. If you haven't heard it and like any of their albums at all, you'll love the EP even more.

I didn't like the Fins EP all that much. It's okay, but it isn't nearly as good as They Threw Us All In A Trench and stuck a pretentious album title on top. They Were Wrong is inconsistent, but often great - a true transition album.

However, I have not heard Drum's Not Dead, so my ratings are probably to be taken with a grain of salt.

I dunno, I don't think their titles are all that pretentious.

Drum's Not Dead is alright, is really only made great because of the accompanying DVD. Seriously, buy it and watch Julian's video. Spectacular.

Yeah a lot of people are way into Trench, which is cool, I think I just listened to it too much. I like the more sparse, rhythmic stuff they do. Though they do a good job bringing the rock when they feel like it.

This is from a bulletin the Liars put up on myspace:

Recorded on the heels of 2006's 'Drum's Not Dead' somewhere between LA and Berlin, Liars' 4th album marks another bold transition for Angus Andrew, Aaron Hemphill and Julian Gross.

For the new album Liars have foregone theory for a more practical approach, one based on traditional song structures and instrument usage.

"I'd never felt like a songwriter 'til this album," explains Angus. "If you told me last year Liars would release a record like this, I would have laughed.
If you said I'd be playing guitar solos, I'd have called you a liar. We never know what we're making 'til it's made… this time I'm a bit shocked."

Doesn't seem like its something I'm going to be into.

Also, have you guys heard Oneida's cover of Every Day is a Child With Teeth? GREAT

Honestly, I just want to know when the hell this new record is coming out. Anyone have a date?
