Dissing A.I. by using A.I. and proving that it's garbage. Ha! I love it.

I had to actually think about what I was looking at there.

As expected, Spike Island sounds even better on record. Bring on the album. Glory days are here again.

The song is growing on me. I gave up listening to the live YouTube vids of the new songs bar HOTN. I just think HOTN is one of the very best songs they've ever done. I can't wait to hear the studio version.
There's something about production these days that's different. Same with After You. What is it? Can't put my finger on what it is.
Growing on me. There's a hint of His N Hers era in there isn't there?

It's a much better recording than After You. I like it, a lot. I'm very excited!

I'm usually against AI MVs as they're usually lazy and the 'final product' with no real thought bar some prompts behind them. Spike Island's is brilliant just for the satire.

 

"Human Intelligence at it's best" - brilliant

Really lovely record they've put out. Can't quite believe we're here.

The people having a go at the AI in the comments, oh dear. Clearly didn't even read the words & understand the satire. I feel sorry for them, not angry.

The DC callback imagery really pulls at the paststrings. Love it but shouldn't.

How can they be so perfect in everything they do ? It's unbelievable.

Head it on Radio X on the way home from football training just after noon. It sounds very good. Expect a few more plays this weekend.

The production sits well with the James Murphy work on After You, which I guess makes sense if it's a single.

There's a few arrangement choices I need to get my ear used to and Jarvis is really going for it on the high notes in the name of the song on the chorus.

But it has a real strut of confidence, you can shake your tush to it and sing along. Can't really argue with that.

I'm still not sure about the video... I can see what they're trying to do, obviously, but all the same, they have still have used AI to do it. I understand it conceptually and how it ties in to past Pulp subjects (like the tongue-in-cheek 'Bad Cover Version' music video or the fake airbrushing of the His 'N' Hers and This Is Hardcore covers). I know it's an ironic statement, but I dunno, it feels slightly cheapened to me? Especially given what we know about the power-guzzling nature of generative AI. It's an attack on AI but they have still ultimately gone and used it to do so. Didn't have that on the cards.
I don't think it stands next to previous Pulp videos in terms of quality.

But these are minor grumbles in the scheme of things, and I'm so enthused about this song and the new album!!!

And also. Jarvis sings like he is in Pulp. Way different delivery than on Jarv Is or the solo albums

it's good but it has no surprise and I bet the same for Background Noise, pretty simple structure but works as a first single

 Agreed I feel conflicted about it. I appreciate the message but its still using AI at the end of the day for sort of an overall lazy video

I do think Background Noise might be the next one. Or maybe 'Tina', that sounds interesting.

I really like how it's mixed. I like how intuitively you can hear all the members. I like how it sounds like they've picked up where they left off back in 2001.

 Same, that's exactly how I feel. The video did set up a follow-up though so hopefully it'll be fleshed out a bit with a more purposeful, 'human' video.

 That's what I noticed. You can hear Nick's drums and Candida's keys and Mark's guitar that is pushing towards prog at times.

I like the song. It reminds me of Day After The Revolution and sounds really clear. I love "I exist...to do this" as well.

Needs more of a chorus to be a first single, but it's still good. How will it go down in stadiums? No idea. I can't imagine more than half of any of those huge audiences is going to have heard it.

Curious as to whether it will chart. I mean, top 40? What are we thinking?
