r/Glaive

I see people hating on this album already and I’m disappointed. HE’S FROM THE MOUNTAINLAND KIDS. Hyperpop artists are allowed to evolve and try new things. Do I love every song? NO! Is it all hyperpop?! Absolutely not. But it’s glaive moody though y’all - RELAX!, it’s like you guys have never heard ICSMTIDCAA before 🙄

To clarify something, I don’t listen to kurtains AT ALL but I appreciate their friendship. They’re pushing each other. Let the boys experiment, jesus… THAT’S BEING IN YOUR TWENTIES!

But with The Band, Yaya Touré, The Front, Let’s Link Up And Die, UNCA / C, Flyen (the guitar!!!!), The Troubles, Crisis !?!?! It’s a beautiful album. Stop projecting expectation and hear the vision (if that makes sense lol).

The beat in UNCA / Composure goes insane if you appreciate the softcore hardstyle in the first part and the sensuality in the second - like C’MON GUYS! Beauty 😩

Even Spinning Around is legit tbfh.

Can’t we just enjoy good music, even if it doesn’t fit what we imagined? Be so frrrrrrrrrrrr. You think glaive did an entire album with kurtains because he hates this kind of music? Maybe consider this is a new side of him he’s brave enough to release and share with us. It’s fucking raw dudes.

He’s not 15 anymore.

Let’s Link Up And Die BYEEEEEEEEEE 🤍

how much do u guys think your tickets are gonna be 😭 cause we got tiffany day, glaive is hella blowing up, and everyone loves kurtains but i get paid the day after tickets come out so im trying to see what the risk is if i wait a day to buy mine :’)

Bro who is willing to sell one, in dire dire need for it

hey does anyone know if tiffany day is gonna be on the europe leg of the tour (specifically paris), cause on her insta page her post off it dosent have the eu dates so im kinda presuming not but was just wondering if anyone actually knows?

I finally got the full play through and I think this album is the perfect glaive and kurtains marriage. it sounds like everything good from the last two years of them both combined, I didn’t know there was a lack of open mindedness for not electronic style glaive.

maybe I’m wrong here but? lmk.

I really hope that May It Never Falter doesn't get forgotten by time. When it came out everyone had it at #1 or #2.

no one asked for this so read it if u want or dont idc. i did a micro-review while listening and doing ketamine, as glaive and kurtains would've wanted, i imagine. it's crazy too bc i was prepared to hate this album hard (i'm notoriously a kurtains-anti but tbh this album has convinced me to give him another try)

1 // Weston Super Mare
country vibes okay this is quite interesting. i think i like it. its very unique. i would like a glaive country/folk album tbh oh that was a weird way to outro that track
9/10

2 // Half Two
country & rock sounds im really fucking with this like woah i didnt expect anything like this from glaive but wow it is working really well. i am feeling super nostalgic. this is lovely.
10/10

3 // The Band
such a creative use of interpolation. oh this was really lovely. unfortunately confirming what we already knew in that ash has a serious drug problem but we'll worry about that later. this made me feel nostalgic but for the 80s when i wasnt even alive? lmao
10/10

4 // Yaya Touré
this is such a fun vibey song. this whole album thus far makes me feel very like, blanketed in warmth. idk how else to describe it. i just feel warm. and like, safe? its a really good feeling. there's so much hope i think within this album maybe
10/10

5 // Spinning Around
more creative use of interpolation. im impressed. this is def a song meant to be listened to while high as fuck on something. like im high af on smth and it feels so lovely. it is very shoegazey imo but like with a tropical flair. hard to describe
9/10

6 // Old Freight Train Interlude
not much to say about this lol its a lil interlude yeah its a lil story they told its cutesy its atmospheric its nice its cool
9/10

7 // The Front
i remember glaive saying they each got a song of their own and i assume this is kurtains'. you will be shocked to hear that i actually enjoyed it. it was very like. i keep using this word in this review but warm. this whole album is so warm. i love it.
10/10

8 // Let’s Link Up and Die
based on snippets i wasnt anticipating liking this song very much, but it pleasantly surprised me. its a v interesting vibe. probs my least fave on the album but its still good like im still adding to my liked songs for sure
8/10

9 // UNCA / Composure
yeah you can tell glaive produced this LMAO sorry baby boy ilysm and ik ur gonna get better but u kinda suck at producing. oh the beat change near the end okayyyy am i fr getting seduced by kurtains like is this real life? this song is so SEXUAL!!!
7/10

10 // Flyen
woahhhhh. that was like. maybe im just high but like that felt like a movie. it legit was a whole ass movie in front of my eyes as i listened to this. it was fun! it was a vibe! gosh this makes me want to remember im young
10/10

12 // Crisis
oh this is beautiful wow. the guitar is so pretty and gritty. it feels unanswered, but in a good way. if that makes sense. a nice closer i think though this is w/o knowing what the lyrics are lol
9/10

overall thoughts: 10/10 album. wow. well done. very good. who else feels warmmmmmmmm afffffffffffff

I personally loved it, exactly what I expected from a Kurtains and a Glaive collab

• Acoustic songs at the beginning were a really nice touch and let Kurtains really shine (I loved polo ponies so was nice to have more acoustic glaive songs :D)

• Yaya Toure is so sick ("THROW THE 3 UPPPPP")

• Kurtains on "The Front" literally blessed my ears I had to replay it on first listen was so sick mannn

• Lets Link up and Die and The Band was worth the wait from the snippets & live performances love them both

• Flyen??? loved glaive on this

• Crisis - LOVED THIS OUTRO Whooo is playing the guitar???? Def my fav acoustic song off the album

• Overall thoughts: Obv less hyperpop-y so may not be for everyone but I really really enjoyed it, I'm super happy Kurtains got to shine on this album, there was no real song I 'disliked' (apart from the interlude lol, I didnt dislike it but wouldn't have it on repeat haha) ik Glaive mentioned he has a solo project coming out reallly soon too. We're truly blessed this year

• Fav songs (first listen): The troubles, The Band, The Front, Lets Link up and Die, Yaya toure, Crisis

Does anybody have an accurate Y’all setlist? Everything I find online says the show was 2 hours long but only lists 13 songs which is clearly not eight.

Trying to prepare for the expected of GST3 tour a bit before it launches. Thanks!
