Liars - WIXIW 2012


i kinda want to crowdsource the review of this, but community-based efforts have like a 3% success rate around here. so that's all you get.

here's the VICE review, anyway:

"The title of this perfectly perfect record is pronounced “wishyou” as in “I WIXIW could live inside this album,” or “I WIXIW guys would do this more often,” or maybe even “I WIXIW would tell me what drugs IW took and where IW get them.” Seriously, this thing plays like a soundtrack to The Magic School Bus book where the kids take a bunch of ludes and drive the bus into the ear of a guy who put himself into a Robitussin coma. Then, the battery on the bus dies and the kids have to find their own way out. Spoiler: They do not make it."

also the labels dont really describe the strange odyssey liars have been on for over a decade

Aldrovandi said...
