sidewinder Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Yes I do want. I will agree with P4K that the album is unfortunately named. Great cover though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boxus Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 I always want to like Why? more than I actually do. I love Yoni in Clouddead and Reaching Quiet, but the Why? stuff always veers a little too far into indie rock for me. I'll check it out though.

Guest Jimmy McMessageboard Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 This album is supposed to be more beat/rap heavy. but it is also supposed to be more intimate so not quite sure what to expect except we heard seed in the sod which is kinda poppy and rapped. for me why? can do no wrong.

Guest interr0bangr Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 I always want to like Why? more than I actually do. I love Yoni in Clouddead and Reaching Quiet, but the Why? stuff always veers a little too far into indie rock for me. I'll check it out though. Exactly my feelings. Only Why? album I truly enjoy and own is Alopecia, everything else has it's moments but ends up being either too weird or too folksy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Jimmy McMessageboard Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 first track from the album : http://soundcloud.com/anticon/why-jonathans-hope I'm noticing that whilst the verses are more rapped the choruses are more sung than ever, even eskimo snow. liking the beat/production on this once it gets into step Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hautlle Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 I've been enjoying this album. It is quite the grower. Seems like Yoni has gone back to darker lyrics too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

murve33 Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Everything post-alopecia has not interested me in the least, but this sounds like a big improvement from Eskimo Snow and Sod in the Seed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Jimmy McMessageboard Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 how dare you! i noticed on the web store they are selling the mumps demos on cassette tape. loved the alopecia demos. but do not have a tape player anymore (got some tapes though..). have to hear anyway as i reckon the finished album is a bit clean/poppy and this will be more like it Everything post-alopecia has not interested me in the least, but this sounds like a big improvement from Eskimo Snow and Sod in the Seed. i thought eskimo snow was solid. on multiple listens to the new one i prefer eskimo still. sod in the seed was ok although that was one track about the policeman asking them to switch driving gets stuck in my head and plays over and over and i don't even like that song. also i hate the "chorus" of white english. lost in translation...ok. otherwise like that track alot. picky? perhaps. but it doesn't bode well for repeat listens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewinder Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 I haven't heard the leak but like the feedback I'm reading! I love Alopecia, like Eskimo Snow a good bit, and really like Sod in the Seed. I think I'm gonna be pleased! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jimmy McMessageboard Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 if you liked seed in the sod you'll love mumps etc and btw its streaming in full (link above) - so no need for the leak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewinder Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Oh right, thanks for the link. I might just hold off though, I'm weary of stream quality, sucks that just about every album lately is being streamed pre-release, hard to resist and I don't generally want the lower quality to be my first experience.
