Enter Shikari - T.I.N.A (There is no Alternative)

“I never noticed you were in disguise, but now I see you T.I.N.A“

I always thought Jimmy Jr’s song to Tina sounded a little familiar 🤔

nit&eip is such a slept on album, i think primarily because it came out during covid so we didn't get to see it live, or share the joy together until late 2021 (?), except for the twitter listening party that happened during release, which was lovely

i think for that reason it's my comfort ES album because it kept me company during lockdown when i lived by myself, away from my friends and family, and all we could do was exist without the company of others. i have fond memories of walking around stoke, in the unnatural spring warmth, blasting this badboy in my ears

also the music videos! i think the video for the great unknown absolutely perfectly encapsulates the weird emptiness that covid created, and how we were all very much living in unknown times and perhaps feeling a little hopeless

the video for t.i.n.a is just cursed as fuck lol

anyway these are the two best songs on the album 💜💚💛💙

how the fuck does one of the best songs of the year wind up with the worst music video of the year???!??? It’s fucking awful!!!!! The song’s so damn good, but they fuckin’ ruined it with this shite:

Please LISTEN to the song. just minimize the tab and listen to it because your eyes don’t deserve this garbage.

Top 20 Albums of 2020

19. Nothing Is True & Everything Is Possible by Enter Shikari

“We're Apocaholics, drinking gin and tonics, lying in the flowers, counting down the hours” – modern living, Enter Shikari

I’m not ashamed to say that following their debut album Take To The Skies, I initially wrote Enter Shikari off as a bit of a flash in the pan. Although I adored that record, their unusual trance-metal fusion did not appear at the time to have the legs for subsequent records. Since then, the band have only gotten better with each record and have since become one of my favourite bands. Needless to say their sixth album, Nothing is True & Everything is Possible, is their most ambitious, cohesive, and damn right masterful release to date.

Only St Albans’ finest mad scientists could take the key social and political aspects of the modern world and turn them into this grandiose opera of a record. Split into several definitive parts and produced entirely by enigmatic frontman Rou Reynolds, the record features the band’s usual genre-defying acrobatics, flicking between pop, metal, dance, grime, and everything else in between. However, this time they are also backed by some soaring orchestral arrangements, most notably on the brilliant instrumental Elegy for Extinction. Released amidst a global lockdown, the timeliness of the record only enhanced the poignancy of Rou Reynolds’ urgent lyricism, most notably on modern living… which features the incredibly apt refrain you can see above.

Most importantly though, Nothing is True… is packed wall-to-wall with career highlights for Shikari, from the infectious bounce of lead single The Dreamer’s Hotel to the catastrophic futuristic rave of T.I.N.A (a track that produced one of the year’s funniest, most batshit crazy videos, which you can see above). However despite these many highlights, it is Marionettes (I & II) that offer up the Shikari boys’ finest moment to date – two tracks that combine to make a 6-minute epic, welcoming the listener with some widescreen, cinematic horns before ascending into a powerful, drum & bass epic.

This album is simply incredible and proof that Enter Shikari are without a doubt one of the finest British bands working today. Sorry I ever doubted you!

Best Tracks: Marionettes (I & II), pressure’s on, THE GREAT UNKNOWN
