So... the big 'From Here' thread...

[Tony S]

As for From Here, I got my copy a bit later than a lot of people it seems. Only 3 full listens so far. Twice with headphones and once in my car. On my first listen I thought it had quite a different overall sound / production to previous albums - very dense sound to the guitars, drums etc. After a couple of listens the choruses of the songs started to grab me. Three listens in, and I'm really loving the album. There's excellent music, interesting lyrics, and great vocals by Justin - everything a New Model Army album should have.

Kind of cool that I still have the entire side two of "From Here" yet to listen to.

Folks, why haven't you taken my advice!?! Save things for later.
You guys have all heard the new NMA album. You are now engaged in a two, three, four year wait for the next album.
I still have not heard much of the new NMA album. I have a great deal of a brand new New Model Army waiting for me to discover.
(Plus I have not yet listened to any of "Winter.")

not wanting to tempt fate but you could pop your clogs tomorrow and spend the afterlife in purgatory knowing you could have listened to Winter and know never will

Dude, when I am in heaven I ain't going to be thinking about not listening to "Winter." Heck, I'm going to come down to Earth and my ghost will be sitting on the stage at every New Model Army concert. You'll have paid you 30 quid, I'll have the best seat in the house free.

Even gigs in Leipzig?

Even gigs in Leipzig?

Nobody - not man, nor beast, nor ghost - wants to go to gigs in Leipzig.

What an absolutely immense piece of work. They just keep on delivering.... And congratulations to the band for their highest ever UK album chart position at No.13...

Still, here we are and .................. bit underwhelmed in all honesty, the whole thing kinda just passed me by and nothing stuck in the mind or ears at all. I'm hoping that it just needs a few listens to click and many great albums are not immediate favourites so I'm trusting that's the case here. Want to be more positive but at the moment all I've got is I really like Never Arriving 

Took a bit of time but it's starting to kick in now - definately needs proper listening not a casual on in the background listen. Great Disguise and Where I am are particularly worming their way in.

...then play the nice puppy (« made me want to finally buy NBTS » ...) so typical of this kind of people ...

You must be new here. Donald Trump caves in and will eventually play nice...I don't. When I (as you said) "played nice" and started expressing an interest in the "Navigating By Stars" album, that's genuine. What you get from me is real. Always. I really doid appreciate the thoughts here on that album.

Glad you're getting into it. I 'got' it on the 3rd or 4th listen. Conversation, The Weather, Setting Sun and From Here are my current favourites but I keep discovering new bits that I like. I find the lyrics particularly well done this time. So many apt and subtle descriptions of the mess we got ourselves in on many levels.

Just a test here and just curious why hasn't anybody posted on this site for an entire day?
Is everything all right over there across the pond?

We were all at the pub.

Seriously, no one but me and one other poster has been here in two full days. Everybody else just...vanished.  It's like a "Twilight Zone" episode.

I'm scared.
