I'm going ROBE. What did everyone think of The Last Dinner Party & their first album??
Drop a like if you wanna see more chill reviews like this, thanks for watching
Amazing album best of the year so far this year sound on album wow just wow. I’m agreed you fresh air
it’s soo good! a friend of mine had them on her radar before me but the full-length album sold it for me!
All I can say is the British scene is leading music right now. The artists across the pond give me hope for music - Idles, Black Country, New Road, black midi, shame, these gals, Squid, etc.
YARD ACT
The brits always have
Kid kapichi and SNAYX
Wet Leg, English Teacher
The Mysterines
The transition from Gjuha to Sinner is absolutely fantastic
I'm old. My ideal pop/rock acts (1) dress up, (3) step over the genre borders, and (2) make albums that consider the track sequence. They’re ticking all the boxes. “Industry plants?” Fine, keep planting.
I saw an ad in ig for Nothing Matters this week and i have been obsessed since
Prelude to Ecstacy is easily my favorite album of the year so far. Nearly every part of this project is phenomenally well done, especially the vocals and instrumentals. Caesar On A TV Screen, The Feminine Urge, and Gjuha leading into Sinner are exactly what the title says: ecstasy.
All of the nonsensical claims of them being industry plants can easily be disproven just by doing basic research. It drives me insane every time I see that BS, because no industry plants would ever be this talented. They gained popularity the same way Oasis did, and worked very hard to get to this point. People throw the term around at anyone these days without actually knowing what a plant is.
The show 2 weeks ago at The Roundhouse was astonishing. Consummate professionals, brilliant musicians, and Abigail Morris is SUCH a performer. Amazing.
Fantastic debut album. I hope they have a long and illustrious career.
I checked them out after stumbling upon Ceasar on a TV Screen when it was released and had a lot of expectations for the soon-to-be-released Prelude to Ecstasy. Needless to say it easily exceeded them and I've been recommending this band to my friends! My favourite tracks are Sinner, Mirror, and The Femenine Urge, but I also really dig Gjuha and On Your Side.
All female group with guitars in 2023 made men and media scream “industry plant!”😂 if they were a plant they wouldn’t be making arty weirdo guitar 70’s rock pop. Kate bush meets Peter Gabriel soaked in 95 britpop
Exactly. On top of that, they gained popularity through playing as a live band and meeting other bands in the process. They grew the exact same way Oasis did, which already disproves the industry plant claims lmao
@@ASCENSiON_ all it is , is that they’re all from rich upper class families and that gave them a leg up in finance. Good luck to them. Industry plants have simple generic 4 chords. Their music is almost classical, complex and diverse in its composition. Pop needs the weirdos like in the 70’s and 80’s before the big machine started mass producing boy and girl bands controlled by major labels
There’s also the assumption by many that attractive women can’t be real musicians and are just successful based on looks.
@@markjames8664 that’s exactly it. Just comes down to bitterness and jealousy
I’ve been hooked since I first Nothing Matters. Saw them live last summer and they have so much energy!!
The amount of theatricality that is dripping through the album is a delightful breath of fresh air.
My Lady of Mercy is probably my favourite song from the last 2 years with that killer bridge in the middle. The guitar work from Emily is fabulous, particularly in Mirror.
I cannot say enough good things about this album, and about the band as a whole. Fabulous!!
Really liked the first 2 singles and will definitely do a full listen through. They’re the first band since Wet Leg to live up to all the hype by all accounts and I’m so excited to see where they go from here. Great review Jon!
I'm guessing for many listeners this (fantastic) album gives "bombast" because of the more minimalist path music took over the last like ten years. I'm an old guy who was there when many of The Last Dinner Party's influences like Queen, ABBA, Kate Bush and Sparks were in their prime, so this feels familiar to me. This level of "bombast" was quite common in the old days. And I agree, they have a unique and fresh take on all of their widespread influences.
It is an incredible album, not a dud moment on it. Crammed with beautiful songs, tunes, dynamics, wit. The best album that I have heard in decades.
I figured you'd dig this band. I love their sound! I've seen other UA-camr videos calling them 'Problematic' and 'Industry Plants', all that garbage. I'm like: "So what if they are? They sound friggin' awesome!"
That's exactly how I'd feel about this band... if they were even plants to begin with lol. I'm super happy they were able to gain success, and I'm looking forward to what they have to offer next.
Definitely a breath of fresh air, I loved Sinner and Caesar on a TV Screen!
Really enjoyed this album. Deserve the hype . Haven’t said that in years
Catch them live if you can.
Not knowing a thing about them I was immediately drawn to them *because* of the "industry plant" claims - I think I just wanted to check if they were legit or not, if that makes sense.
...a few days later I wrote a 4-star review of the album and I bought a ticket for their gig in Milan, so now I'm seeing them live in a week. 2024 has just started - but I have a feeling that it will be one of the best records of the entire year (at least one of the best debut records, that's for sure).
Remove “Prelude To” from the title of this album and that’s how you describe this.
ECSTASY
CONSTANT ECSTASY
fixed it
this album honestly blew me away they are off to a very very great start I’m obsessed with pretty much every song on the album the whole thing feels so theatrical and the vocals and production is honestly also insane mirror was a perfect closer I also felt like it was a breath of fresh air it’s so creative and something I really needed
3:52 - that is NOT James Ford 😂
DAMN GOOGLE IMAGES
@@ARTV-seems to be a guitarist with the same name haha
Great album!
I was literally choosing between seeing them in San Fran vs Idles in Hollywood. My bf won so we're going to see them but im sure TLDP will be back in Cali soon. They are very derivative of 70s poprock mixed with Florence but thats3not a bad thing. I love em love love love. Glad you acknowledged them
Have been loving them since their first single
Great review
The robe means he's a real music critic ahhhh
This was easily my favorite album of the year until today when the new St Vincent LP dropped. I'm not saying the St. Vincent is better - but now it's a contest!
Are you wearing your robe backwards? You look like Obi-Wan
it's a half robe
@@BeyondARTV oh. A towel.
Hey jon could you do a video on how trap/mumble rap is destroying music?
Get over it.
I think that trend is dying out. Compared to what it was back in 2015 - 2020, I feel it’s waning in notoriety today as it’s not as omnipresent as it was in the years I mentioned.
I feel it’s TikTok that’s destroying music now.
it's a very solid crafted debut album but yet feels lacking in substance and derivative remind me of early Florence + the Machine meets the fashion aesthetic and Sound of Kate Bush debut album the kick inside some of the deeper cuts such as Beautiful boy, on your side and GJ UHA just don't work for me and I feel dull/uninspired in the rest of the record as it atmospheric energy doesn't deliver
hopefully the second record they can make a sound that has more of an identity of standing on their own merits are not having to rely on other artists' voices being replicated/interwoven into this baroque art indie pop
overall a 3.75 rating for me and hopefully my opinion changes when I see them at the end of the year on tour
Listened to it twice, very good gen z style songwriting, well groomed record but I think it's not THAT good, overhyped.
