a word to the wise,
DO NOT WAIT FOR THE PROPER RELEASE OF PHRAZES FOR THE YOUNG. seriously, you'll hate yourself later. those amazon previews were SHIT SHIT SHIT. you cannot condense musical genius into thirty second snippets.

CLICK ME IF YOU LOVE TO BE HAPPY.

You are amazing, but I'm scarred to listen to this... I have been waiting so long I feel like I can wait a little longer.

Hanan said...

no no no, BE FEARLESS! MY TATTOO COMMANDS YOU TO BE FEARLESS.

you're very welcome, Luke.

Katie said...

hahahah Hanan.

"Don't buy this albums it's f-ing incredible!"

Hanan said...

hahaha well I figure that people will buy it anyways, like I do. I just meant don't wait a week and a half to listen to it. just think of it like a week long test drive or something.
it's not about money. it's about music.

Jammie said...

Allie, you are incredible.

And you're right Hanan. I think I still feel kind of guilty though.

Chris said...

YESSSSSSSS! This is incredible, Hanan is absolutely right, those 30 second clips don't begin to do justice to this greatness. Thanks so much!!

AHHHH I can't wait to get home and download this thanks so much! Gah I'm so excited. Love the image.

Luke said...

Sorry for turning this into a forum but...
Top Three Songs?

Mine:
Out of the Blue
River of Brakelights
Glass

Katie said...

This is a nice forum indeed. Will it explode if we comment too much? Hanan, this makes you a mod! Congratulations!!

Top three:
Glass
Tourist
River of Breaklights

But I like a lot at the same level. It is so incredibly hard to choose. 8 songs was a great idea - there's nothing at all to dislike.

KLEEEEEEEEIN said...

SO EXCITING, I DID NOT EXPECT TO HEAR THIS FOR ANOTHER FORTNIGHT OR WHATEVER, BEST SURPRISE OF MY LIFE!!!!! IT'S LOVE.

Klein said...

Apparently I'm so excited I even managed to post that twice.

Eric said...

11th Dimension
River of Brakelights
Tourist

Allie said...

What a fucking happy day! Phrazes, getting drunk dialed from another country, and riding beardy. EVERYONE HAVE AN MAGICAL WEEK FULL OF AWESOME!! :) oh and on 2:24 of the extended 11th dimension "woo!" totally sounds like Mario from SuperMario64, in a good way.

Eric said...

@Allie - Riding beardy? That sounds, uh, dirty.

Shelby said...

Ridin' Beardy sounds fun and awesome! Whatever it is ;)

klein said...

HAHAH, 'riding beardy' Allie that is great.

Katie said...

Dirty is good. Whatever this 'beardy' business is, I want in.

SG said...

Left & Right In The Dark
Glass
11th Dimension (who likes the new keyboard solo section? It is a lot better now)

Tara said...

I feel really conflicted about whether to download it or not. I kind of wanted to wait until I owned it physically to listen to it for the first time if that makes sense? But now it's, like, right in front of me to be listened to... Ahhh!

Should I just do it? I mean, I'm obviously gonna buy it anyway. Not gonna lie, there's some angst going on here.

Hanan said...

oh Tara you should know now that you should ALWAYS succumb to peer pressure.
*nods*

my favourites are:
Out of the Blue
River of Brakelights
11th Dimension (although Glass ties with this one)
but ah! I love 4 chords and ludlow street so much! they're all really good, well done, Jules!

you guys can comment away and start forums galore because I (wisely) changed my email settings a couple of weeks ago so that comments sort themselves into another folder automatically. then what I do is I quickly scan and see which posts have new comments and, instead of opening each email, just go to that post. it's highly efficient if I do say so myself

Type said...

Glass is so amazing. It's like the Ize of the World of this album. The climax.

Hanan said...

that's so true! especially because he does so many different things musically within ONE song.

Eric said...

How the hell did he make a country song sound cool?

Allie (aka ridin beardy OG) said...

You know katie I think you would be masterful at riding beardy. Its not as dirty as it sounds but i guess you can make it dirty if you want. and really isnt that the american dream?

Unknown said...

Yep, just shed a tear after the first few lines of Out of the Blue. Jesus, this man just makes me hysterical in a way no one ever has in my life.

_Jackie_ said...

Hahaha! I just saw this after sending you that email. I was out of town for two days and already I've missed out on so much =-/

klein said...

Becky, I shed a tear or two when I heard Glass and 4 Chords for the first time too. That man really does have the power to render me emotionally instable, in a good way!

The Phrazes love here is incredible, I kind of just wanted to make it 40 comments :D
