joyeboy 2 Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 Age Of never really stuck with me but I have been playing this new one on repeat for a while now. Also it’s funny that he is using tons of drums in his tracks now, considering he used to eschew percussion completely and even went so far to say in an interview he hated snares! Nice to see him change it up. Link to post Share on other sites
Key 63 Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 Got to give props where its due, this is a step back up in quality from Age Of. I shouldnt have been so hasty judging the album from the fairly lame pre-release singles. I suppose they work in the context of the radio station conceit, I mean, if youre scanning thru drivetime radio, youre gonna pick up a bit of shite, and at least this is slightly weird shite. The back half is, like plenty have said, reminiscent of R+7 and Replica, and up there with his best material. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Kennylogg Bubblebath 152 Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 in some ways, i kinda wish this was extended into a double album. at the moment it almost feels like two separate EPs. i think the concept/flow would work really well spread over 90-120 minutes, although i'm sure many would disagree 🙃 also while i'm here... imago is the prettiest track of the year 1 Link to post Share on other sites
gnarlybog 80 Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 My engagement with this record fluctuates wildly with each listen. weird... probably needs more time. but yeah, it's my favourite thing he's done in a while. Shame there aren't more interviews, he's always got some interesting ideas. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

jellied cope 29 Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 I finally sat with this album while i peeled ginger at 5 this morning. I’m agreeing w a lot of folks - i’m also in love with the back half of the album a lot more than the front half I think both Auto & Allo and Long Road Home are cute Absolutely love that verse and breakdown at the end of The Wether Channel - it’s genius Not crazy abt that weeknd track - not a big deal that it’s there either Standout track for me is Lost But Never Alone - it’s fucking gorgeous - really pleasantly surprised w this Nothing’s Special is also similarly gorgeous - wish it went on for a lot longer I agree that this would work better as a double-album, really would like for some of these tracks to go on longer and the mood of the second half extended - not sure if Danny is capable of that though, not sure how I feel abt that 1 Link to post Share on other sites
NewYorkNowhere 221 Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 can't fuckn believe i forgot to comment here. no nightmares and whether channel are opn's worst songs, and i gotta apologize to the guy who said opn is doing trap rap stuff now because he saw into the future lol. Delete those off the album, and you have a fucking incredible indie/electronic album. bow ecco, imago, tales from the trash stratum, ambien1, it's got sooooo much for fans of replica/r+7. It's brought back the sample heavy aspects of replica, the weird unpredictable parts of r+7 all while having a higher audio quality than either. and shit like long road home, lost but never alone, i don't love me, oh my goooooooood these are such fucking BANGERS. I love them. They're still weird enough for me to still enjoy them for their slightly odder aspects, while being accessible enough for me to send to my friends unashamedly. Seriously, opn keeps fucking winning. I personally am pretty sad this one didn't have an extended universe like GoD and Age Of, but it's still conceptual enough for me to think the ideas are interesting past the music itself. Such a fucking good album and really made my year honestly. I've had it on repeat since it came out. 13 hours ago, fumi said: Japanese edition arrived today. Scans below.
