I've been reading heaps of overwhelmingly positive reviews of their new album, Rise Above, which is a reworking of the Black Flag album Damaged, and it has me all intrigued-like. Problem is, I've never heard the band before. therefore, I propose to discover them as I post this discussion, and invite all other contributors to add comments on their like/dislike/total ambivalence/hatred/love/sexual lust for and/or toward this band. Oh, and if I come back and say I like em, where should I go to after this recent album? Cheers in advance purples...

Well, I've liked what I've heard so far, so some suggestions would be nice fuckos. Oh, and I've been listening at the my spizz, for anyone who is also interested....
DIRTY PROJECTORS ARE SO COOL.
i can't wait for that flag record to come out.
Thanks for the advice fulton....

get the record getty address, it came before this one i believe and it's quite good.
Again, thank you... :) But yes, it is fucking awesome indeed...
Rise Above is FUCKING AWESOME.
Truly a spinout. I saw them first supporting Battles in NY in April, and they played a few songs off this. It's not Black Flag at all, but it's... stunning.
I like the positive feedback, I'm gonna have to check this band out a little more...
Bump for the evening crew...
You must watch this if you like DP - Possibly the most beautiful waveforms to ever travel through air...

That was beautiful squircle, thank you. :)
No worries, spread the word.
BUMP!!
Featured on the new Grizzly Bear EP providing back-ups for a re-recorded version of the Horn of Plenty song ''Alligatpor''. Find it here.
Nice, i bought all their stuff last night from marriage and states right records. Only cost about 60 bucks for 4 CDs.
Yeah, I'm gonna do that soon too I think...
And obviously the song is ''Alligator'', without the surplus p.
i'm quite enjoying this fanciness.
I love their version of Police Story on Rise Above.

Will probs miss DPs in favour of Rae. Balls.
Bad move. There's always gonna be a fair chance that a hip-hop show will suck. DPs will be ace.
Got free ticket, got so many other things on that night. Only thing that'll work, unfort.
underwhelming.
Mt Wittenburg Orca - single with Bjørk available via donation to anti-whaling fund.
I really like it. Very vocal.
Does this band make anyone else CRINGE MASSIVELY?
YES. I bought Rise Above recently. I found it unlistenable
I was watching rage the other day and I seriously thought it was a joke.
Anyway, it seems me and the current 'indie pop' zeitgeist don't have much in common.
Oh well. I shall turn in my scarf at the door.
hehehe
you people
nope, dirty projectors don't make me cringe at all. i saw them friday night -- sooooo good! i just love amber and angel and the third girl (haley, according to wikipedia). highlight of the night was ''beautiful mother'' from mt wittenburg, just delightful! they played every song from bitte orca too.
also, they played for an hour and half which i was pleased about.
psh, you guys suck, dirty projectors is my favourite band!
Temperature rising
I can feel it all the way down
And what hits the spot, yeah, like Gatorade?
You and me baby, hittin' the spot all night
Please be aware I didn't come in here to attack anyone personally.
I haven't had such a profound sense of ''not getting'' a band for a long time. Congrats DPs!
I can kind of see why, TransientRandom. It took me a little while to get past, well, Dave Longstreth's voice. And some of his lyrics. But I can say that after persevering (not that much, mind you, because I think the music is brilliant) that I love them. That said, there are parts of many of their albums that I can't really stand to listen to and must skip (such as about 1/3 of the tracks on Bitte Orca).
And yeah, the voice is sometimes what makes me feel a bit ashamed about putting this on in public or blasting it too loud in my car. I think he has an amazing voice but sometimes it's just too much. It'd be nice if he played it more low key sometimes too. His guitar playing and compositions are totally off the planet though. And the band's amazing too. Probably a good one to see live.
easy to understand someone's dislike for this band, even though i like and, at times, love them.
It all just clicked for me, I fucken love them. Big Led Zeppelin vibe with the drums and guitar.
How long did it take Goal attack if you don't mind me asking? How long did you have the album for?
about a coupleo weeks
