I listened to the new one once a week or 2 ago..I liked it, but it didnt grab me quite like Hospice. I'll have to revisit it at some point, theres just a lot of good music coming out now

I felt the same way about Burst Apart at first, but it's been growing on me and now I love it.

Listened so some of the new one. Hospice is great, but its like the saddest album ever made. Saw them about a year ago open for The National and they were really good.

Man, I'm with you on Hospice -- it's good, but damn, I felt lucky to walk away from it. Good thing it wasn't the first thing I heard from them or I might not have given them another chance without thinking I'd need a hotline number handy.

Just listened to the new album and it's great in my opinion. 

[debbie]

I think Hospice is a great album.  And I'm always a sucker for depressing/moody/emotional songs.  I've always been a big Smiths fan for that same reason.  They make me feel better about my own problems.

It may be a bit soon to tell since I've only heard it a few times through my computer speakers, and it needs to grow on my a bit more, and I never EVER thought I'd say this... but I may end up liking Burst Apart better than Circuital.   :o  This is not a great place to say such a thing, I know.   LOL...We'll see.... 

Regardless, MMJ will always be my favorite band to see live.

  Cheers!

I just grabbed Hospice. I like what I hear so far.

In my iTunes library, hospice is listed right about Funeral from Arcade Fire... Um. Yeah.

This was in my top-10 albums of 2011.  The Antlers get better and better with each album.  Great band.

[bigloop]

Yep.  Great stuff for sure.  Didn't love Hospice right out the gate, but it was love at first listen with Burst Apart (a top-10 album for me that year).  And last year's EP Undersea is just floaty spacey goodness.  If Undersea is their "new direction", we're in for a treat when a new album comes out.   

Anyone see them live yet?

[Ghosts_on_TV]

Hospice is great, but goddamn, it's like the saddest album ever.

[Jackets N Pones]

What do y'all think about the new album?

[Ob1jacobe]

I love the new one.  It took a few listens for it to connect with me.  I really like the use of the horns.  I am not sure how I would rank their three albums, I really love them all.
