I hope this slays as hard as all of their previous albums, specially Halcyon Digest.

Lux.

I have never got around to listening to their albums in full yet, I loved 'Helicopter' from their last album though.

Graduation

My most anticipated album of the year! Halcyon Digest and Microcastle/Weird Era Cont. were both fantastic albums. Can't wait! Love the album artwork, too.

Beethoven

Should've been the artwork, haha

Eric.

Tittle track up on iTunes right now!

I don't have headphones with me at the moment.

Digitalism

I love bradford's new persona

Eric.

The song is so amazing.

And the Fallon performance was ****ing awesome too! But I hope Bradford hadn't cut his fingers himself.

briannaisboss

did the main dude cut his fingers off on fallon because their was blood on the drum kit and the bandage/blood looked fresh

Graduation

Incredible performance/song. Ever since HD Bradford and Lockett have been releasing much more mellow music, it's refreshing to see them amp up the energy for this record!

My most anticipated album of the year.

M.R.

Leaked! Downloading.

Eric.

**** yes!

It takes awhile to grow into, even if it's filled with many instant hooks. Haven't made up my mind yet, but I do like it.

Graduation

After listening to this for a while, I've decided I love it. I agree it isn't as instant as their previous work, but now it might be my favorite of theirs (at least second best). The title track, "Neon Junkyard," "The Missing," "T.H.M.," "Nitebike," and "Punk (La Vie Antérieure)" are all fantastic. There isn't a bad track here, although "Back In the Middle" and "Sleepwalking" stand out the least thus far.
