KOMPROMAT IS OUT okay i’m gonna keep all my trains tweets to this thread:)

okay so OBVIOUSLY a steady hand slaps. my favourite single of the three, very driven and dark and has a magically persuasive energy to it

that fucking RIFF. so heavily charged and mechanical. love it.

is it something I said?

happy I got the print (ft. two prints from @shouldvent)

HELLO THAT TRANSITION INTO DESIRE IS A MESS???

the BVs on Desire are wonderful oh my god this is incredible

how do YOU sleep at night???

FUNKY FUNKY FUNKY

Dig In is still as funky as it was when I first heard it. love the amount of layering and the panning of the guitars works so well

hello to those vocals on PRISM! very reminiscent of The Shallows

b a s s l i n e

c h o r u s ! ! ! harmonies!!! yes!!

also, as always, the lyrics are so delicate and descriptive and poetic. the words melt into one another, creating a very seductive blend

oh my god another fantastic transition into Patience is a Virtue (got high hopes for this one)

THIS ALBUM IS! SO! GOOD!!! I’m already thinking it might overtake The Shallows, which is a massive claim as it was one of my albums of the last decade

wondering if A Man of Conviction is gonna change pace halfway through

okay it did and it’s haunting. feels familiar in a way I can’t put my finger on. maybe something Muse-esque during the breakdown?

little vocal peak there! loving the emotion that’s been conveyed from the vocals in this one. both compliments and contrasts the clever monotony of The Truth

EXCELLENT TRANSITION. AGAIN. god i fucking love transitions. onto New Geography now

drums are fantastic as usual. this wouldn’t be out of place on The Shallows either and I really value that

oh my GOD please just tour soon

and actually do this time because I was lead to believe I would not be waiting this long

bout to belt out every line to The Truth brb

YOU WILL NEVER SEE ME AGAIN
AND EVEN IF YOU DID
YOU WOULDN’T RECOGNISE ME

A N O T H E R seamless transition. another.

“drinking cocktails whilst you watch the world burn”
me, with a piña colada in hand during the middle of a global crisis: fuck

OKAY SO i have finished the album and can’t even begin to explain how worth the wait it was. brilliant from start to finish. went in a new direction but didn’t alienate its roots. transitions were stunning, lyrics and vocals were sombre, haunting, and comforting all at once.

the drums were brutal as always in the best possible way, and even though the whole thing makes me even more cynical to the world, it’s also comforting in the most profound way

so, cheers @iLiKETRAiNS for smashing it out the park again. didn’t disappoint even a little bit. not many albums are worth an 8 year wait, but I assure you, this one firmly is. I encourage anyone reading this to go and listen to KOMPROMAT in it’s entirety. belting.

apologies to anyone who follows me for the large amass of tweets I will now go back to a piercing silence thanks
