      People get that way when smth artsy gets critical acclaim because they see it as pandering, or they get annoyed at critics who show bias to certain genres. This thing is in neither category, it's just a damn good album

      the fact that concorde or the plane is rendered artistically in a hyper real art style, shows the distain for manufacture, as it's all art.
      billy eillish style is how the media machine eats artists alive, bcnr does not want to be billy eilished.
      and concorde is isaacs public musician persona.
      it's why he quit
      concorde will fly fly and isaac will suffer.

      Mhhhh I think it similar to the ''Best Seller Formula'' that many, many readers hate. The Best Seller formula follows a pattern in which the writer knows very well the tricks and hooks to make the reading extravagant but controlled, pretentious but tamed and also strong but easy to read and thus not really challenging but rather enjoyable and practical to perceive by a large amount of people. The Best seller formula is something that to this day is very discussed. precisely because many readers say that the writers who assume this formula *do their work thinking of the critics and not that much of their audience*, they know that literary critics love: a hot mystery, some romance, some plot twist and strong and disturbing imagery that often is described with a distant language to make it documentary and not shocking or provoking. And yes, it works very well and it works for lots of writers. In terms of music, I assume that some people say that when musicians do this: long tracks, full of instruments, lows and downs, improvisation, crescendos pompous orchestration and such. Many albums have been addressed like this: ''KidA'' by Radiohead and ''Illinois'' by Sufjan Stevens as examples that come to my mind. I understand what they mean when they say that this is ''manufactured to be lauded by critics'' because it is something that happens and it doesn't have to do with how good or bad the album is, it has more to do with how current occidental critics rank good and bad music. I explain this, having not heard this album yet.

      Agreed, it already feels like an post-rock/chamber pop benchmark that nobody's likely to beat anytime this decade, the second after listening to the full thing I thought 'this is on the same level as Patti Smith's Horses, this is potentially a 'within the Top 20' all-time album' ✈️

    Lyrics:
    You're scared of a world where you're needed
    So you never made nice with the locals
    But you tied me up slow with your vine, stuck
    It takes a few years, but they break bones
    It takes a few months, but our bones heal
    We're stronger, we tell all our school friends
    And they sign our cast in the playground
    Darling, the rest of my body
    It's yours, then
    I know you're scared
    Well, I'm scared too
    Oh, that every time I try to make lunch
    For anyone else, in my head
    I end up dreaming of you
    And you come to me
    Good morning
    Show me the place where he inserted the blade
    I'll praise the Lord, burn my house
    I get lost, I freak out
    You come home and hold me tight
    As if it never happened at all
    Good morning
    Show me the place where he inserted the blade
    Good morning
    Where is your light?
    Am I home?
    I will hold to my chest
    Where the wind can exist
    I will try
    Not to keep you too long
    So, clean your soup maker and breathe in
    Your chicken, broccoli, and everything
    The tug that's between us
    That long string
    Concorde bound to
    And my evening
    The good hunter's guide to a bad night
    Darling, I'll spoil it myself
    Thanks, you're leaving
    Well, I tried just to stroke your dreams better
    But darling, I see that you're not really sleeping
    And I know
    You're tired
    Well, I'm tired too
    Oh, that every time I try to make lunch
    For anyone else, in my head
    I end up dreaming of you
    And you come to me

    Show me the place where he inserted the blade
    I'll praise the lord, burn my house
    I get lost, I freak out
    You come home, hold me tight
    As if it never happened at all
    Good morning
    Show me the fifth of the cadence you want me to play
    Good morning
    Show me where to tie the other end of this chain

    It hurts so much listening to this song. My girlfriend broke up with me a week and half ago and I haven’t been able to stop thinking about her since. I relate so much to the emotions expressed in the lyrics of this song (and Concorde). I just want so badly to see her and have her hold me and tell me everything will be okay, but I know she won’t be doing this for me anymore.
    Our relationship was built on unhealthy premises despite the love we had for one another and I always knew somewhere in me it would have to come to an end. I was using her affirmations as a scapegoat of facing the fears that have been holding me over my entire life. That last line “show me where to tie the other end of this chain”, nothing has ever hit me as hard. I miss her deeply but I know that I need to work on myself so I can do better for the people I love in the future. Don’t know if a piece of art has ever quite touched me the way this song has today.

    Isaac’s first line, “you’re scared of the world where you’re needed…” is some of the hardest hitting stuff I’ve heard in my 17 years of life. I’ve recently been out of school for a while because of social anxiety and just other emotional shit you get from being a teenager in high school, my friends are always asking when I’m going to go back in full time and not just after school tutoring and god, this line is really making me feel bad for not seeing them.
    Thank you so much everyone in the band and, godspeed Isaac, thanks for writing fucking amazing lyrics.
    Update: I finally went into school today for the first time in about 3 months and it was honestly the best day of school. My friends were very happy and surprised to see me. I see more of my friends tomorrow, and I never thought I would be so happy going to school. I’m so glad my brain decided to work lmao
    Update #2: I passed 11th grade. It really took some effort because I guess I failed my English class by like 2 points and my teacher didn’t want to show any mercy to me, but I still did it. My senior year starts in like 2 weeks and I’m nervous but excited because I don’t have any big classes. And hopefully I have some damn classes with my friends. Also my summer was incredible. I literally couldn’t have wished for a better time. And for a last hurrah I’m going to an Animal Collective show with my brother and a bunch of his friends!!
    Update #3 January 9th 2023
    I dont know if people really care to see these updates (or if anyone expects to see them) but I’m doing really good. Firstly, ever since my senior year of highschool started back in early September I’ve only been on an incline it seems. I’ve really rooted myself in my friend group and we do dnd and stuff it’s really nice. I also have a boyfriend and just everything with him is going so smoothly it’s baffling to me that I’m blessed like this.
    secondly, ive been relistening to AFUT for my end of the year album placements and as soon as Concorde started playing I felt like bursting into tears. It reminded me of the days when I would listen to it and Boards of Canada on the days of my afterschool tutoring, and at the end of the classes when I would walk out of the school and see the empty parking lot and the beautiful sunset in the dark blue sky, and the snow on the ground. I’ve never had a song make me feel such a visceral feeling of place, it’s too hard for me to explain but I feel like some of you would maybe relate idk.
    But anyways I hope y’all are truly doing good and if you aren’t, please use me as an example that you can get better. I know I wasn’t in the worst place but it still sucked so much. So please… if you are reading this and you are lost in this moment in your life, just trust me it always gets better. It has to.

The melancholy and nostalgia from Issac Wood's poetic lyrics to the Traverse Town-influenced motif throughout the song as it crecendos into a fireworks display of existential awakening for the protagonist is simply naught but tearjerking in the most strangely uplifting way possible.

      did you notice how this song is about how toxic it is to be dependent on another person in that way? the relationship the song describes isn't a healthy one. i say this as someone who can relate to its lyrics as much as you can. i think that's what makes the song so heartbreaking; the fact that what it expresses is so romantic, and so, so unhealthy.

    You're scared of a world where you're needed
    So, you never made nice with the locals
    But you tied me up slow with your vine stuff
    It takes a few years, but they break bones
    It takes a few months, but our bones heal
    We're stronger and we tell all our school friends
    And they sign our cast in the playground
    Darling, the rest of my body it's yours, then
    And I know you're scared
    Well, I'm scared too
    Oh, but every time I try to make lunch
    For anyone else, in my head
    I end up dreaming of you
    And you come to me
    Good morning
    Show me the place where he inserted the blade
    Or praise the Lord, burn my house
    I get lost, I freak out
    You come home and hold me tight
    As if it never happened at all
    Good morning
    Show me the place where he inserted the blade
    Good morning
    Where is your light? Am I home?
    I will hold to my chest where the wind can exist
    I will try not to keep you too long
    So clean your soup maker and breathe in
    Your chicken, broccoli, and everything
    The tug that's between us, that long string
    Concorde, Bound 2, and my evening
    The good hunter's guide to a bad night
    Darling, I'll spoil it myself, thanks, you're leaving
    Well, I tried just to stroke your dreams better
    But, darling, I see that you're not really sleeping
    And I know you're tired
    Well, I'm tired too
    Oh, but every time I try to make lunch
    For anyone else, in my head
    I end up dreaming of you
    And you come to me
    Good morning
    Show me the place where he inserted the blade
    Or praise the Lord, burn my house
    I get lost, I freak out
    You come home and hold me tight

    This album is truly something special. I haven't felt such a profound response to music in years. Most music you listen to you can enjoy and it distracts you for a couple minutes but it ends and you carry on with your life. The first time I listened to this record really struck me and left me with a feeling of catharsis for the rest of the night into the morning after. Its a feeling that I can only hope and wait to experience with music again. As much as you can try and seek it, a release like this only happens once in a blue moon.

      Same, I generally MUCH prefer the post punk sound of their debut to the chamber pop/00s indie, so I was disappointed when they started going on about wanting to be the next Arcade Fire ... but AFUT is easily the stronger album imo, feels like it's from a group on the top of its game in every respect, and has a kind of emotional rawness that AF lacks for me.
      This kind of song could easily come off as schmaltz, and maybe for some it does, but I completely buy and feel the emotions here.
