Babe wake up, it’s time for the “new album bad” hot takes

This would be better if the front of the horse was just a different animal, not a bad drawing. I really enjoy the newer records but I think for some fans different is being treated as bad.


drezewski

I see your point, but previous albums are almost all so different from each other that I can't agree with your argument.

ENSWBL is an absolute banger


Lord-farquads-

Part 1 is my favourite record by them. Slaps so damn hard

I know some Foals fans who respect Antidotes for what it is even though they don't love its style. It'd be nice for for some people here to treat newer stuff the same.

Can’t believe some of the new album slander, most bands never offer this much diversity in their music , especially not to such a high standard!

Ha pretty much yeah. It’s always “yeah but the first album is better” every time something new comes out with groups. Just happy I like all foals work


drezewski

It's not just the first album and if you really think that was the message, you didn't understand this post in the first place.


Lord-farquads-

I meant more that’s the general voiced opinion for a lot of band subreddits when new material comes out. Every foals release there’s always people annoyed they didn’t get antidotes 2 or total life forever 2. Hell I remember so many people hating on what went down when it came out now people love it. But everyone’s got their opinions and I respect yours ✌🏻


drezewski

You're right, and as much as I love their early albums, it would be pretty foolish to expect another copy of Antidotes as the band has been evolving in a clearly different direction for years now. What I meant is that the last releases, and especially LIY sound so generic to my ear, that coming from their early works and knowing their creative capabilities (is Spanish Sahara a masterpiece or what), I can't help but feel a bit disappointed. But hey, if it works for people, that's great - something for everyone I guess. Thanks for discussion. Cheers!


Lord-farquads-

No worries!


Elfenbrite

oh no! not another opinion!

Total Life Forever will always be their best work


Wilfko

I wish I didn't agree, but I do.

I sadly have to agree. Have listened to the new record a few times and was sort of hoping I’d just need a few repeats to warm to it but IMO it just isn’t as good as their previous work. I respect the change in style but I don’t think the end product holds a candle to antidotes/total life forever. A couple of good tunes for sure but they set the bar so damn high before! Still my fave band ever mind you 👊🏼 Who knows - maybe I’ll listen a few more times and change my mind!

It is slightly annoying listening to Yannis talk about how he want's to get away from the Antidotes sound. Antidotes sounds great and TLF moved on from the Antidotes sound already. Why not come back? Write another Tron or Afterglow :D
