no i want to look into that. wasn't aware they had a new one out

and yeah new swans is incredible. the second half of the album is completely crushing.

I've heard that the leaks of Swans thus far have had one unmastered disc, is this true?

Damn, your English is really improving man. Keep up all the hard work

the one i uploaded is in v0. it sounds good enough to me, though the dynamics may be a bit turned up and the compression sometimes feels lacking in some parts. i am just going by earspeak and dont have the software to verify this.

Indeed, I guess this was the inspiration

Yeah, I really feel like I am now perfect English grammer.

Word, I'm gonna have to check that shit out then. I liked the first track lots.

seeing jesus and mary chain tonight. should be amazing

Whoa. Would love to hear what you think. Psychocandy definitely going to be high in my top 80s albums list.

finally warming up to XX debut album. I always loved intro, but Im finally starting to dig the rest of the album

The rest of the album is largely better than Intro, and I love Intro.

i disagree there, and I would rate the album a lot higher if it was purely instrumental. Not that the singing is that bad by any means, in comparison to something like pavement, it's godlike singing, but I just get this feeling that no vocals would have made it more effective.

I disagree completely. The interplay between the two singers is the key component of the xx for me - really creates that feeling that you're hearing a couple have an intimate conversation between each other. They may not be technically amazing, but their tone perfectly complements the music.

Hey, this is like the 5th or 6th listen of the album for me, and I finally like it. Maybe I'll agree with you eventually. When I think of vocal intimacy between male and female, it's on something like 9 crimes from Damien Rice, this sounds quite hollow in comparison. My opinion, of course.
