this is alright it feels painfully generic in a few spots but it really doesnt have that much to offer thats really good or really bad to me
so loud!!!! just suffocating and filthy from front to back which is a good thing but got a bit tiring towards the end
listen,,,,i dont HATE this i think its pretty enjoyable if you arent trying so hard to take it seriously and you can just laugh along with whatever cringy concept is being thrown at you in the songs and theres one part in the last track that i find kind of sweet in a corny way which is cool
just as powerful as her other projects this one has some of my favorite moments from the 3 by far i feel like it does drag slightly at a few small moments though
the star of this for me was the production but i feel like off first listen there is a lack of super memorable moments
i think this has had my favorite noisy riffs of all the unwound projects but aside from that i wasnt terribly effected by this one sadly its nice but a little long and the muzak sections are cute but the second ones a bit drawn out in my opinion
didnt resonate with me as much as songs in the key of life which i listened to just before this but it is very good either way i just wish some of the songs were a little more punchy but the last track was pretty amazing
i can see why this album means so much to a lot of ppl it offers a very down to earth and human perspective on a lot of dark issues but its presented in an endearing and soulful way and the way the songs are arranged is very smart and thoughtful as to provide an enjoyable experience while tastefully feeding the listener subject material that as far as i know would have been considered taboo for the radio in 1976 my favorite was village ghetto land the bland high life vaguely classical ... read more
the least abrasive xiu xiu album ive heard so far but it still hits that emotionally distressing and sad spot the other records have
wasnt super in love with the first stretch of the album but i really really like from track 8 onward
honestly didnt start out too interesting for me but as it went on there were a lot of parts i really liked and i feel like i would have missed out on if i hadnt listened
haunting and sickening and brutal and all around just incredibly devastating but it ends with a feeling of cathartic closure to me very beautiful
not my favorite from unwound so far but theres a lot of really cool moments on the production and noise side of things that i enjoy a lot
the instrumentals were sadly my least favorite part of this one save the drums in some sections, but the writing was pretty wonderful and i liked it a lot just wish the instrumentals were a bit different
probably the best live album ive heard its so intense and loud and it sounds amazing my favorite was definitely feel happiness i love the way they build their songs
