some of these comments are certainly made by true fans with certainty and gusto in bushel baskets overflowing with overripe assholery. you can tell they're fans because they blow. (not the good sexy kind either) lucky xiu xiu are certainly above this shit. me i like it though. clears the palate fr sm lctrc tasttrts. ltr sckr.
Haven't had an album grow on me so much in ages. I loved it first listen, and then even more each time. I adore this album, I've played it like 5 times in it's entirety today. Can't wait to get the record
I listened to this album when I was high one time. Long story short, it made me so uncomfortable, I was stuck to my bed and I couldn't move. Still a great album.
everything this cat releases draws me in a little more and a little more. an as-yet-unknown wariness in approaching this music is finally evaporating. i'm starting to love it.
of course you did, my darling... whatever else would you ever DO with the likes of Xiu Xiu coursing through your system and culminating in your fortunate trousers?
Guide to enjoying Xiu Xiu: Lock yourself in a tight dark room for 5 days, with no food or water or sleep. Preferably, lock yourself in the room of your house where they found the bodies.
I heard this when it was released but it didn't click with me for some reason, and now... 4 years later I have only been listening to this album exclusively for a solid month... hell yea :)
So good. Kind of a shame it is just getting a kind of lukewarm critical reception. I get the feeling in time it'll get its due though. Too great not to.
Lukewarm reception? You mean Pitchfork? They're pathetic, as we all know. Apart from that, the reviews are just as with any other Xiu Xiu record. Jamie & co could write a sci-fi glam opera and the critics would still use the same vocabulary to describe it.
This is my first Xiu Xiu album, so I love it more than most people do. I guess that's the problem :P How the fuck can someone listen to "Queen of the Losers," "Hay Choco Bananas," and "Jenny GoGo" and say "yeah, that's generic bullshit?"
+Calvin MacDonald "Forget you? Are those words?" it's arabic for "Forget you? Are you serious?/ What's wrong with you?/ I'd never." and LSD endorser basically said "tru"
Not hippie whatsoever. Although I take to mean you think this is "drug addict" music. In my personal experience I prefer the use of Xiu Xiu when drunk than whatever else.
Angel guts, Knife Play, Fabulous Muscles, A Promise are seminal and experimental - I kinda miss those sounds. But I guess I can get behind their more accessible work.
xiu xiu are the only band that makes me feel like im ready to die and live at the same time
correct
yes, that. that's exactly it.
i feel you
I actually bought this album. Like, with real money. I haven't bought an album in about half a decade. Xiu Xiu deserve my money.
no, this is trash
Your face is trash
Holy shit G Man please do not reproduce
vaguelyhuman you don't own his ears
Yoda Zemunski so because he has an opinion you don't like means he doesn't deserve sex?
I love how the first two tracks both seem to be building tension that is released in the first chorus drop of Wondering. Perfect eargasm
Nice profile Pic ;) eheh Gira ftw
"You're the only reason I was born". Well what about this kick-ass music?
I like to think this is what pop music sounds like in hell and I mean that in the best way possible
yes, this, thank you for saying this
That explains a lot of things
this makes so much sense actually
Its sometimes difficult for me to listen to Xiu Xiu because a dear friend showed them to me, but he committed suicide.
:(
I'm so sorry for you, friend, I know that feeling, and it's heart wrecking...
ggthewhale - very tasteful, thanks
OMG
Antonio González uhm...?
At Last, At Last and Forget are amazing. This whole album is so good
i love you jamie stewart
CLAP BITCHES
why why why BITCH!?
is that a sample im so genuinely confused as to what that is doing in the song
he probably thought the song was low energy without it.
I'm wondering if it's a sample too
*please clap*
Listening to this album reminds me of taking a sip of the most delicious scotch, but at 7 years old.
Hah! :D
It makes you feel like a loser who drinks alcohol? Wow...
which one is seven years old in this story? the drink or the drinker?

this is nothing. Angel Guts, now that's some REAL paranoia fuel...

This album is a monster
I am purely astonished by what I am hearing...
One of there best records yet
Xiu Xiu is the modern music I want to listen to! If this is pop then f***, give me more pop music :D
I love xiu xiu, thanks for this amazing ear candy
of course you did, my darling... whatever else would you ever DO with the likes of Xiu Xiu coursing through your system and culminating in your fortunate trousers?
Don Lightband I think you replied to the wrong comment m8

I simply attempt suicide
just listen to the fucking music you clown
Great Album. Dark and mysterious. Offering no explanation. Genius. Love it
For anyone curious about the ending of the album, the interview here outlines its meaning. It has me a bit torn up. www.artforum.com/words/id=66615
thank you ! I've been looking and looking to find out about the ending.
yeah what the fuck
Absolutely brilliant. I keep replaying
That ending fucks me up everytime. Jesus, what is wrong with us?
Wondering might be my favourite track tbh but the whole album is amazing
sounds like most of it was recorded with a toy echo mic. not a diss.
I heard this when it was released but it didn't click with me for some reason, and now... 4 years later I have only been listening to this album exclusively for a solid month... hell yea :)
the call is the closest thing to a rap song in xiu xiu's discog and I love it
this album is sooo good
hurray for more xiu xiu im still listening to life live :)
first listen made me love it
second listen cemented that
This album is formidable. Probably one of the best of this decade.
Best word to describe this album
So good. Kind of a shame it is just getting a kind of lukewarm critical reception. I get the feeling in time it'll get its due though. Too great not to.
KNIGHTWHOSAIDNEE2542 Possibly because some critics cannot give it enough listens it needs to get into it.
Lukewarm reception? You mean Pitchfork? They're pathetic, as we all know. Apart from that, the reviews are just as with any other Xiu Xiu record. Jamie & co could write a sci-fi glam opera and the critics would still use the same vocabulary to describe it.
Yeah, that place has been insufferable for years now.
Ghoulish Nah not that bad. At least they review experimental music which is a good thing IMO.
This is my first Xiu Xiu album, so I love it more than most people do. I guess that's the problem :P
How the fuck can someone listen to "Queen of the Losers," "Hay Choco Bananas," and "Jenny GoGo" and say "yeah, that's generic bullshit?"
One of a kind - never change!
Monologue at the finish is very like to Woman Of The SS :)
i mean, it's a deliberate cover
Get up sends chills down my spine and makes me so uncomfortable. I love it
I just creamed my pants for 44 minutes

thank you xiu xiu for introducing me to enyce smith
¿¿¿¡¡¡Why is this not available ok Spotify!!!???
Spotify is shit. It pays artist 1€ every 7000 listening. Stop using this shit for listening music.

Eh it's ok, might need to give it another listen or two
This is the weirdest shit I've ever heard. I love it.
Listen to the first ones!!! Weird, but REAL. :)
I definitely will
Sad Pony Guerilla Girl!!!
Their first ones are even weirder, but really good as well
@grandeurlies oh yeah!! The Residents are the real shit. They are more than music :)
Fantano, where are you?
And LO! For Fantano hath delivered!
Gotta thank him for introducing me because this shit is so good
Nippy Nugsbussoms nothing because that's most likely the case, nuthin wrong with disliking it, their loss by not enjoying this beautiful music
you don't sound conceited at all
Хуй! lol. jk. BTFO!
This is boneless Suicide
Bonefull
My room is a mess.
goth death grips?
Xiu Xiu.
Hands down album of 2017 so far.
Until Fleet Foxes hits us up with that new shit

This is kind of the dankest thing I've heard, ever

Listen to Clarence Clarity y'all if you guys like this.
nice arcade fire remix
polidelia lol where did you get arcade fire from this
Pitchforked but who cares!
pitchfork review 6.4
And Pitchfork is entitled to their very wrong opinion with that low rating.
Trans colors flying high. :)
Wow, Anthony really enjoys these hippy albums
Not hippie whatsoever. Although I take to mean you think this is "drug addict" music. In my personal experience I prefer the use of Xiu Xiu when drunk than whatever else.
and, another album, where Jamie tries to make pop hits, just like in Dear God I Hate Myself. but, I like.
Justs Germs haha you might have gone down the rabbit hole of great experimental music if you think any of these songs could be radio hits
what I sell squaids said.
Angel guts, Knife Play, Fabulous Muscles, A Promise are seminal and experimental - I kinda miss those sounds. But I guess I can get behind their more accessible work.
Anhjje But La Forêt is more "experimental" than fabulous muscles, which is actually the first instance of Jaime trying to make a pop album
