They never reveal album mids on a Sunday

Oh don't they? I remember being confused between wondering the first mids were either a Sunday or Monday - I obviously have been focused on one or the other and never both.

 

[GinAg (39)]

Shake the Bottle was the REVEALATION on listen 2.

 

[lolly]

It definitely benefits from not being listened to on headphones and being allowed to fill the room.

 

[lolly]

Shake the Bottle was the REVEALATION on listen 2.

Listen 3 for me, but yes, I'm there.

And Countess Luann

I don't think she's particularly keen on that comparison...

 

[Iguana]

She really had no gays to tell her about this?

 

[win_the_game]

Why would you tell her? It's hardly a compliment is it. !

 

[Vicky the Vole]

Oh this is actually brilliant.

 

[Pipo]

I Wasn't invited to this hot shit but omg The last 4 tracks from this are actually life changing.

 

[Halli]

Had a second listen through earlier and Shake the Bottle is the tits

 

[Christian]

Just gave this Countess Luann (sp?) a play... POOR JESSIE

Haven't listened to the album yet, it's been Susanne Sundfør all the way this week.

 

[Suedehead]

COUNTESS LUANN AND JESSIE DUET NOW

 

[COB]

Should this thread maybe be merged into the main one for the album?

 

[RJN]

Should this thread maybe be merged into the main one for the album?

Or maybe the RHONY thread

 

[Jark]

Should this thread maybe be merged into the main one for the album?

I'm THINKING SO

unless we want to do an actual belated listen party!

 

[Funky]

I really wanted to do a listening party but honestly how does one find the time these days

 

[Jark]

the album is barely 40 minutes long hun

 

[Funky]

the album is barely 40 minutes long hun

I think EBTG album is even less than that and I've only listened to that twice!

I need a PA.

 

[RJN]

how does one find the time these days

another pandemic would do the trick

 

[Funky]

This! Sounded Great! In the car on the way to work this morning.

I think it’s the first time I’ve listened to the album version of Begin Again and I love how it GOES OFF in the final third

 

[Mike(y) W]

It's up there with Michael Medrano's 'LoveSexDrugs' as my album of the year thus far (although to be fair, his is more of a collection of previously released tracks cobbled together as a debut album.

 

[Funky]

The last two tracks take this album up a BIG notch. These Lips is essentially a Spotlight follow up which is never a bad thing, and Lightning is another sultry gem that this camp funkfest really needed - much needed shade through all the disco balls.

Some of the upbeat tracks do verge on gimmicky and the opening track sounds like an extended intro, but her voice as usual carries the whole thing and elevates it from Scissor Sisters disco-pastiche to more of a full on 70s experience.

It’s not WYP, but that’s an unfair comparison. But it holds up very well across a glittering catalogue. She did it! Again!

 

[Christian]

I've played it now. Well! OK then!

 

[Jark]

elaborate sis!!!

 

[Christian]

elaborate sis!!!

I enjoyed it

Some of it tries a bit too hard, but there's a lot of catchy tunes there and I really like some of the production. Didn't totally convince me on first listen, but I'll definitely revisit it.

 

[Jark]

this is not a drill @funky - Joe Goddard remix of Begin Again out at midnight

 

[Christian]

Now! That does sound promising!

 

[BoysForSeles]

I’ve played this one and a half times. I got a wee bit bored during it but will revisit (at some point).

 

[Jark]

obsessed with this album right now. it feels made for warm, hazy spring days like today. Hello Love and Lightning in particular. but I do need an extended edit of the latter.

 

[Iguana]

warm, hazy spring days like today

Maybe over there been pissing it down here
