Slow Day, Let's Talk About This

[Jason Tate]

Have you heard The Format (http://www.absolutepunk.net/theformat)'s new single yet? Download it here (http://www.absolutepunk.net/theformat).

[BarrelIsPointed]

I suck. So to download do I just right click? Because I tried that out, seemed to work, and when I tried to assign it to play on itunes, it didn't work...

[andrewlterry]

Great song. I'm extremely excited about the new album.

I did the save target as. When it finished downloading I clicked open and iTuned immediately opened and played it.

Ah, there we go. I was just right clicking and doing "Save Link As...". Thanks.

Correct. I am trying to figure out how to crossbrowser fix this.. sorry!

[Drew Beringer]

I love this song, I need this album.

[The Revisionist]

^ Gnarls Barkley = yessssss.

I don't like this song, but then again... I only liked the first track off of the other album.

[dukeboy1986]

Who's excited for the full US tour starting july 13? I am!

[AbeLurkin]

it seems as if the format is swaying away from the stereotypical guidelines of a genre. im excited for this record.

Gnarls is the shit, I'm gonna have a review of St. Elsewhere up tomorrow.

[waggy]

i loved the last album, but i don't really like this song. does the rest of the new album sound like this?

Depends what you mean by "like this."

[yaksordrpepper]

absolute love.


mmmm format =)

[lookingiswrong]

I dunno. I am not really into this song. I'm happy that its not that acoustic version on their myspace (which what I thought it was originally going to be), but I still think the song is too obvious and corny. I am much more interested in hearing new and complete versions of Snails, I'm Actual and Dog Problems.

btw, does anyone else think that Dog Problems is an amazing name for a record? cause I do.

[waggy]

Depends what you mean by "like this."

ok bill, let me rephrase that. while i'm not musically smart enough to point out exactly what changes have been made between interventions and this song, it is easy to tell that there is a much different sound at work here than what they had on the last album. does the new album have songs that are sonically closer to interventions than the compromise or do they all represent this big a departure?

and i don't want to come off as a guy who wants bands to keep remaking the same album, but this sounds like a totally different band to me.

[Take Heart]

Eh, this song is ok. I'm still waiting for another song of theirs to blow me away like "The First Single" did years ago.

and Waggy: That avatar rules.

[Gregkash]

I'm not a very big fan of this band.
This song didn't change my mind.

The thing is I really think they could make a song that I'd absolutely love. I see the potential for them to write something i'd aboslutely adore.

[happybirthday]

This is even worse than spill canavas.

[personman320]

This song makes the "the first single" kind of boring. I cant wait for the new album.

[JohnnyG]

I'm very excited for this album. The last album was great and the living room sessions sounded great

[unwritten]

This is going to be so sweet.

[thechrisformat]

:wow: as much as i love this song, i have a very strong feeling that itll be my least favorite on the cd. but its still a great song.

[azlisa]

im probably the longest running format fan on this website, and its so weird to see how much their fanbase has grown since their very first ep came out years ago. most of all im glad jason loves these guys so much. one of my favorite bands ever. a lot of people need to IM me to get more unreleased format tracks because i have lots and i want to share them with everyone! falllout romance :)

[sweetforever]

i love the song. cant wait for dog problems

thanks man

[aminorthreat55]

This sounds a lot like Neutral Milk Hotel to me. Just the fuzz-tone undertone and the guitars. I like it.

[poppa Q]

This is even worse than spill canavas.

Shut the fuck up. The argument you're lacking is flawed for many reasons, but mainly, The Format doesn't suck.

Truest comment I've ever read on this site.

[elscorchette]

i voted for "she doesn't get it" as the first single but this is quite excellent
