now i'm breaking up with god / and devil too / now i want to dance the night away
in our coats of splendid colours
we went from town to town
leaving young hearts filled with promise
and the venues turned up side down
now we're standing here together
and it's time for the encore
so let's not keep them waiting anymore
the ark: "the apocalypse is over"So, three weeks ago I went to see The Ark. Twice. Because they're breaking up ( Read more... )
and laurel wreath!!! awesome. i'm glad the gigs were so great.
question - should i listen to their newest album? i was told it wasn't so great but i'm still curious. heck, i'm curious, so maybe i just will. :D

all in all on both nights (the set changed a bit) they played at least hey modern days, echo chamber, joy surrender, it takes a fool to remain sane, bottleneck barbiturate, let your body decide, angelheads & laurel wreath from the first album ... and i'm 98% sure about this sad bouquet, too; i was quite happy about that. :D
and yeah, you should give it a listen, i think! it's not like you have anything to lose as long as you make sure to have a solid "this might be a big disappointment and it won't matter because i will always have the older albums" attitude because there's nothing worse than having high expectations for an album/song/gig and getting disappointed. :(
in all seriousness, it's my least favourite album of theirs BUT i have it on my ipod and when some of the tracks come up on shuffle i actually quite like them!

downloading the album right now. and yeah, since i had heard that it's not great my expectations aren't high, and therefore i won't be disappointed! good to hear you like some tracks too!
agdfkhj speaking of being disappointed - new pwolf album! (you know me, i have to bring this up) i really hope it leaks before i depart for africa for the entire summer but i am really quite nervous because he is someone i do have high expectations for and kjgdhsj we'll see. i know for sure this album will be super sappy which is something i normally hate, but given my life recently i probably need a little sappiness and will appreciate it a little more, hah.
out of curiosity, have you listened to the kills leak? also out of curiosity, how's life?

did you listen to it? :D
when do you leave for africa? i heard pwolf's album's released date was pushed back or something... :| personally i don't care; i've heard two new tracks i think (the one with the lyric video with a clock and the one with a video of people on a beach or something) and my reaction was pretty much "OKAY, WHATEVS PATRICK".
haven't listened to the new kills album yet even though it's released now and all! idk, i didn't care for that one song (i can't remember song titles today it seems) and then listened to some ten second preview clips and my reaction was pretty much "OKAY, WHATEVS ALISON AND JAMIE"... i've been checking spotify though but it's not there yet, i'll give it a listen once it is. to be honest in my head i'd imagined their style would steer more towards post-punk with slight electro and krautrock influences or something (:D) so the "garage/rock" vibe i got from the previews disappointed me.
