Dre will probably be mid next week, It's always seemed to me that Pitchfork avoids the biggest albums on Monday in favor of people checking for it a few days in a row.
I actually agree with that score... at first I wasn't sure about it but I've listened to it 5 times since it came out. I think I would've given it the same score but no BNM, but whatever
Can some1 explain the point of declaring you won't listen to an album you obviously weren't gonna be into and wasn't gonna listen to anyway when no one asked? No offense but it comes across really pretentious
i could see why someone might say they're not interested, but it's a pretty useless comment without justification--there's nothing to talk about. the interaction just goes like:
A: "i'm not going to listen to this, doesn't interest me" B: "okay"
there's nothing for B to say to that. whereas a simple reason (like "i heard single X and really wasn't wowed, don't think i'll listen unless the rest is different/better" or "i really didn't like the last record, and this sounds like more of the same, so i won't listen to this") is infinitely more useful for the conversation and provides some opportunity for back and forth
it's like if you listened to an album and didn't like it, or felt indifferent, shout it out. but im not about to tell people that sun kil moon stinks and i aint listening to his music because what's the point yo
I just feel like their isn't much high energy hip-hop produced these days. And the bass lines have a similar wavy, groovy feel. Combined with the very similar political themes I feel like they're close enough to at least make a comparison
