Just listened to it for the first time, and I really enjoyed it. "Last Man Standing" and "Reaching Out" stood out the most on the first listen. Can't wait to get into this album more.

Couldn't get into it the first listen, but second listen yielded more. Next stop, fanboy love.

King Postwhore · « **Reply #212 on:** September 07, 2012, 11:17:00 AM »

I find that with most Pineapple Thief albums. The more I play them, the more I love them.

New album is really good! Finally got my copy in the mail yesterday from Burning Shed. I still have yet to listen to the acoustic tracks.

OK, with a lul in new albums I'm looking forward to, I think it is about time I give these guys a shot. Pick one album...where do I start? And keep it to one album, I'm only buying one to start.

rogerdil · « **Reply #215 on:** September 27, 2012, 01:29:49 PM »

I'd pick Tightly Unwound

Zantera · « **Reply #216 on:** September 27, 2012, 01:34:59 PM »

Little Man.

Something Here is Missing.

Listening to TPT for the first time. I'm listening to Someone Here is Missing. It's great!!!

Reaching Out has to be in my top three songs I've found this year... it gets so fucking dark. The mid section gives me chills. And the lyrics are applicable to my recent life.

"You look like I've ripped out all that's left
I know those eyes
They're telling me we're dead"

nightmare_cinema · « **Reply #220 on:** January 09, 2013, 08:59:25 AM »

Can't stop listening to these guys... Also this has to be one of the coolest music videos I've seen:

I haven't had the chance to listen to the new album. Is it good? Does it follow the same line as the last?

Just listened to that song. As soon as I get home I'm playing this album.

Zantera · « **Reply #222 on:** January 09, 2013, 09:34:15 AM »

The new album is pretty good. Would say it's on par with the last album, though I think the band's best albums are Little Man and What We Have Sown.

rogerdil · « **Reply #223 on:** January 09, 2013, 09:38:01 AM »

It's a return to the same general style of some of the pre-SHIM albums, particularly Tightly Unwound and Variations on a Dream. Since the songs aren't as memorable as on those albums, the word that comes to mind is "derivative."

Yeah, parts of the new album are fantastic. It doesn't feel that much a departure of style compared to Something Here tbh, really similar in parts. The last track (Reaching Out) is without a double my favourite PThief song. The feels around 8 minute are just.... mindblowing, stop everything you're doing, ride the tingles type feels.

King Postwhore · « **Reply #225 on:** January 09, 2013, 10:30:24 AM »

Love the new album and your right NC that it soesn't veer to far form SHIM. Man I wish they'd come to the States.

Ben_Jamin · « **Reply #226 on:** January 10, 2013, 02:44:57 PM »

I got Variations on A Dream with the 8Days bonus disc kscope reissue, and Someone Here Is Missing. VoAD is great, nice and mellow, the style i am into at the moment.

Sunday November 3rd is one of my favourite songs by The Pineapple Thief 'and I worry, I worry too much... I can't bear it, no-one can bear this much'

And Remember Us is incredible... so underrated. I can barely handle listening to it as it reminds me of a period of my life in which I was so happy and settled, and hearing it takes me back there to my old room, living with the people I did, the things that happened etc. But I perservere because I never want this song to leave my life.

The final tracks from Variations, Tightly Unwound and All the Wars are all utterly incredible. I could put those three songs on repeat and curl up and listen to them all day long. I forget sometimes how much I absolutely adore this band.

Ryzee · « **Reply #228 on:** January 11, 2013, 09:25:47 AM »

I'm finally getting into this band after hearing about them forever. Got Tightly Unwound over Christmas, it's pretty sweet! Can't wait to explore these guys more.

King Postwhore · « **Reply #229 on:** February 15, 2013, 04:19:05 PM »

Just downloaded the new live album from this tour from their own website. They sound great live!

Silver Tears · « **Reply #230 on:** February 25, 2013, 03:17:36 PM »

They sure were great live when I saw them

nightmare_cinema · « **Reply #231 on:** March 12, 2013, 04:45:22 AM »

Can't wait to see them in May. Been getting massively into 'Little Man' album; Snowdrops and especially We Love You are doing it for me so much. Especially the latter... I love the long, intense, meandering tracks these guys write.

Zantera · « **Reply #232 on:** March 12, 2013, 04:54:04 AM »

I think Little Man is their best album. Really great album.

cyberdrummer · « **Reply #233 on:** March 24, 2013, 03:22:24 PM »

So I want to get into this band. Sounds like Little Man would be a good starting point?

Zantera · « **Reply #234 on:** March 24, 2013, 03:24:23 PM »

I've seen people have different favorites, but Little Man is their best IMO. Some awesome songs on it, and possibly their biggest "hit"; "Snowdrops" which is almost like their Trains.

cyberdrummer · « **Reply #235 on:** March 24, 2013, 03:25:14 PM »

Cool, I'll give it a listen.

Silver Tears · « **Reply #236 on:** May 14, 2013, 04:59:18 AM »

Awesome show last night. Bruce Soord is so attractive it's unreal.

Haha I came in here to ask which album to get next and saw this. I was thinking about going with Little Man, and your quote and others made my decision quite easy and awesome because the title drew me in. I had a little thought in my mind saying this' ll sound good.

jammindude · « **Reply #238 on:** May 29, 2014, 08:30:49 PM »

Keep forgetting how much I LOVE these guys. I've only heard Tightly Unwound, but I was obsessed with it for awhile. I'm listening to Variations on a Dream online right now, and quickly drawing the conclusion that these guys are pretty amazing.

And hey! NEW ALBUM DROPS SEP 15th!!!!

Zantera · « **Reply #239 on:** May 30, 2014, 01:15:47 AM »

I've fallen out of love with them a bit this last year or so, but they do have some really good albums. The last one didn't click that much for me, but it was a solid release. Little Man and What We Have Sown are my favorites.

King Postwhore · « **Reply #240 on:** May 30, 2014, 05:57:30 AM »

Always reach for Pineapple Thief! Zantera, did you check out THE Bruce Soord/Jonas Renkse collaboration Wisdom Of Crowds? I bet this is right up your alley!!

Zantera · « **Reply #241 on:** May 30, 2014, 06:15:35 AM »

I actually checked it out last year but didn't care for it much. I think it's a combination of fatigue on both Katatonia and The Pineapple Thief though. I listened to the album once and it was very okay-ish for the most part, but nothing too exciting or interesting. I feel bad saying that because I do like them both, I just haven't been too blown away by them lately.

King Postwhore · « **Reply #242 on:** May 30, 2014, 06:31:46 AM »

With the electronica added it seemed fresh to me but I do admit you have to be in the right mood to listen to that album.

jammindude · « **Reply #243 on:** June 01, 2014, 07:59:22 PM »

Even though I already have Tightly Unwound....I was thinking about picking up Abducting the Unicorn and just going forward from there.

Can I get some album rankings from those more familiar with their catalog?
