@JoshC hey dude! Yeah, I'm not really sure why other than I like the less poppy hooks on it, and the production is nice and intimate. I like everything by them pretty much tho, Ga x5 is a classic for sure
I was surprised lol, only checked it out because "Who Makes Your Money" was on Blonded radio and much better than I remembered, and found the same for every song on there. I know "best spoon album" is a knee-jerk reaction but I felt like I was liste…
Hey @Manateemaster and @ttk long time no chat. I visit this site for recs still pretty frequently but always forget how little I post. Need to check out Steve Gunn and Julian Lynch!
Isn't Kanye famous for being consistent? "Ye" was the man's first true miss in my opinion and I think that's really due to mental illness that he's suffering from, but he immediately followed that up with Kids See Ghosts which is at minimum a 7/10. …
At first I read Robby’s comment as comparing the Beatles “White Album” to the Blue Album by Weezer. Was pretty confused by Manatee’s reaction lol
Comparing those two albums I mentioned above, I’d have to still give it to the White Album
I think the album is hot garbage, and fwiw TLoP was my #2 of 2016. There is nothing on Ye approaching the quality of songs like Real Friends, Famous, Ultralight Beam, etc.
We know they do the review scores by averaging their staff scores, and they probably have to stick to that. My guess is the editors who chose the reviewer hated it/ were still pissed at Kanye over his recent actions, so they chose someone who really…
New Frank Ocean track is godly as always - interest in the track follows the same pattern it usually does...first listen, "maybe this wasn't his best?" 4th listen, "he done it again."
Saw Rostam play last night, damn is his voice infectious. It's like every time he starts a song something sounds off about his delivery and then you key into it and it's perfect. He covered "Pink Moon" too which was a cool music moment.
@des it’s probably more a “me” problem than a 2017 problem. I’ve just been much more interested in older stuff this year. The pendulum will inevitably swing back in the other direction soon enough
Texted my friend about what new artists he's enjoyed this year, because honestly it's felt pretty weak to me. He recommended I check out Tyler Childers' album "Purgatory" and it's really been resonating with me. Country is one of those genres where …
Ooh that comparison never really crossed my mind, wouldn’t say he’s comfortably better but probably slightly better yes. Blackstar coming out so late in his career and being an absolute masterpiece puts him over the edge for me
You don't think they have another good one in them? I mean who expected them to put out good albums again after that terrible stretch and look what they did...it could happen 5 or 10 years from now, but I expect them to do it.
