Let's have another thread for this masterpiece. I'm

On my 4th I think. I dont want to overdo the listens because I dont want to ruin the album. On the same note this thing is so damn dense I feel like Ill just keep on picking up on new rhythms and melodys on each listen.

Right now I'm feeling

HB > CU > FF > SG

I don't think it can beat the emotions of HB but hot damn is it close

One anon said back in another thread that Crack-Up kinda makes Helplessness Blues sound like Mumford and Sons and, after a few good careful listens, I can't agree more. It really makes HB seem very vapid and slipshod.

I was never a big fan of theirs, but this album won me over. AOTY so far.

Anyone have a Mega link?

I Am All That I Need is one of the best songs I've ever heard.

I can still appreciate helplessless blues but self titled is borderline unlistenable compared to crack-up.

Excited for whatever Robin is up to next, hopefully it doesn't take six years though.

Anyone seeing them at merriweather post pavilion coming up? Before I heard the leak i barely thought about the new music but the contrast between how great crack up is and everything else he's done will be interesting to listen to live.

I hate how people keep saying this. That would be like saying Scott Walker's early work is "unlistenable" and, as someone said in a previous thread, "juvenile" simply because Tilt and The Drift are more dense and conceptual.

My niga, yeees.
Also, the opening

I don't understand this sentiment. Crack-Up being excellent doesn't make those other albums less excellent. Music isn't a competition

Waiting for the officially release but Third of May and Fool's Errand are beautiful. Bless you Robin.

Favorite track?

Naiads Cassadies by far

good sounds weak album

>>72761567

This so much

FF>CU=HB>SG>FFEP

I know you all love Helplessness Blues more but I think the first one just has so much more fucking iconic moments, and also it has a lot of sentimental value for me.

>>72758479
You're absolutely right, but it kind of raises your standards or expectations a bit. My music player organizes the albums in alphabetical order, so after CU finishes it plays their first album, and hearing "reeeed squirrel in the morning" after finishing Crack-Up does make it feel very rudimentary in comparison.

>>72762415
Well, Crack-Up is new and fresh. Give it 50 listens and 5 years and you'll feel differently I'm sure.

>>72761887
Understandable. I like all the FF albums equally and fot different reasons (excluding FFEP). I couldn't rank them

>>72762587
I'm in this boat. They're all equally fantastic to me. I just adore this band and hope the next album isn't 6 years away.
