Board 8 > New Hot Chip Album, In Our Heads, out tomorrow

(+) Yeah! (+)

I'm the only one here who cares, aren't I? I have this weird obsession with this band now, and with LCD Soundsystem gone, I feel like they're the only band filling that particular style's void.

Let's hope it combines the fun of The Warning with the 'maturity' of One Life Stand.

And here's a simply ridiculous video for the first single:

Aw yeah, rocking that 80 on metacritic. Though there's only 10 reviews, and the past three albums by Hot Chip all got 78-79...

Really, that amazes me, as their last album and this album seem to be big steps off from the two before that, yet critics apparently consider them all of about equal quality. I still find it strange how critics seem to consider One Life Stand their best work, yet completely forgot it when it came to end of the year lists in 2010, though 2010 was a really awesome year for albums.

Oh, wasn't aware, big Hot Chip fan though I didn't like One Life Stand quite as much as Made in the Dark.

My favorite is The Warning, and I give a very slight edge to One Life Stand over Made in the Dark (they're only 4 spots apart on my album lists).

Yea, I think One Life Stand was just a lil too laid back and relaxed for me compared to their other stuff, a few songs just kinda dragged on (Brothers, I'm lookin at you), but hell I still consider the album really good overall. Hope the new album is a lil more like the older ones tho. Go white boy soul!

only thing I know about Hot Chip is their I Feel Better music video

I think the music is just okay, though, not something I would buy an album of day one

Listened to it last night, and wow. I was not expecting it to be that good. The other Hot Chip albums seem to have quite a few misses that get balanced out with some truly excellent songs, but this album was great through and through, easily their most consistent album to date, and just all around fun. It's great to see this band finally improving, definitely check this album out. Best song was "Let Me Be Him," though there are easily enough songs to choose from for favorite picks.
