How the critics didn't rate this higher is beyond me. There are some of their best songs on this record. If you're not familiar with them, they're an indie pop band from Sweden. The lead singer's voice is very unique. Their music definitely has a twee vibe to it. If you're not familiar with the whole genre that they call twee, research it. It may be pretty wimpy for a lot of people, but I like it.
The song that it starts out with, Tonight I Have To Leave It, will sound familiar to many. Why? n ... read more
I can't believe this record has such low ratings. Jeez, sorry that or wasn't Pet Sounds, but it's still great! This record didn't chart when it came out. Sure it's a hippie sounding record, it was put out in 68. It's very relaxing.
It starts with Meant For You which is a vocal piece that is calming.
The song Friends is just awesome. Just catchy. Then in the middle of the song, it changes and becomes vocally interesting. Great track.
Wake the World is a bouncy song replete with a tuba! Just ... read more
Richard D James is definitely known for his reputation to not conform to any style or genre of music. His crazy off kilter beats are his and his only. But on this double record, he takes it down a notch. Actually, he takes it down 1000 notches. Wispy sounds, ambient waves, sleepy samples... I've listened to this record to float into sleep countless times when it came out. One of my favorite ambient albums of all time. God this record is perfect.
First off r.i.p. to Mimi Parker from Low. So.....Low have been around for years creating very slow, mellow, droney soundscapes augmented by the beautiful voices of the husband/wife duo that is Low. When they put out this record and I first played it, I thought my speakers were broken. It sounded like static, buried voice clips coming in and then trailing.. It sounded NOTHING like Low. I didn't know what to think. Then the next day, I wanted to listen to it again. And again. Once you get past ... read more

On snoozeybro's review of Taylor Swift - The Life of a Showgirl
"Nah. She just re-released singles with an acoustic version on the B side. No rereleases. I refuse to buy it because I know in a month there's going to be the anthology, so I'll wait for that. But God damn if Eldest Daughter isn't a great song."

"@TornadoDog33 I think one of the biggest questions we need to ask ourselves regarding Christianity and God and all that stuff, is is there really free will? Not so much, as God already has everything planned in programmed. What I find really mind boggling, is that God is omniscient omnipotent, as in he's always there and he knows what's going to happen to everybody in their future. And he allegedly made all of us. So basically he made us flawed and he knows some of the people he made are going to go to hell, so it's almost putting these people through torture anyway, your verse was great, and so was Snooze's.. great messages and great for calling out corruption!"

"@TornadoDog33 I personally don't find anything redeeming about the Bible personally. Yeah the Psalms have some nice messages and such, but aside from that, not a huge fan. Then you have the Christian crusades, but that still going on, just in different ways. And then it comes down to every religion has a God and every religion has a book, and every religion thinks that they are the right one. I think at the end of the day, if you can be a good person just to be a good person, without religion or anything, then you're doing okay.
Then you have crazy stories in the Bible like Noah's ark. Obviously that never happened. The story was stolen from the book Epic of Gilgamesh."

"@TornadoDog33 No, I got ya. Everybody can believe in something, obviously that's their right, and as long as they're not hurting anybody, it's not a problem. But when leaders as well as non-leaders, use Christianity as some sort of veil to cover up money laundering or killing or raping, or whatever, then that is some straight hypocritic shit..
I think the Bible's kooky. Too much rape, too much killing, too much hate. Even God orders killing in the bible. I don't know the exact number, but somebody actually went through the Bible and counted how many people God killed, and how many people Satan killed, and God killed like millions and Satan killed like 10. And 4 o those people, God let him kill, the Book of Job, you probably know this story"
On Snooze! - You Move, I Move
"Oh I get it. My only gripe of Christianity is it aligns itself with the bible. The Bible is full of rape and murder etc etc. So yes, as a whole, I think it's a pretty awful organization, but when you get to the Catholic church, that is as low as you can go. But we all know the history of it so..."
On NaShFort's review of Snooze! - You Move, I Move
"Oh, and it's amazing how somebody that doesn't know these people personally that have given snooze High ratings, yet they know for sure that they are only giving him high ratings to make him feel good lol. Yeah because this clowns of mind reader right? Lol. It's like me saying, yeah I know he gave Kendrick Lamar a high rating just so he'll feel better. Unbelievable"
On NaShFort's review of Snooze! - You Move, I Move
"Dude's a clown. I went to see his reviews and it's a bunch of who gives a fuck crap artists. Yeah he likes to pimp a butterfly, who doesn't though? Of course it's a good record. Little Reezy and all that other stuff is pretty awful, average, and arrogant. Hate that shit. Want to know how those artists can improve? By writing deep stuff that actually means something to somebody. That would be a good start. And I also think that it says a lot about somebody when their taste in music is myopic at best. I'm pretty sure the people that gave snooze good ratings will listen to his records more than once. That right there says that they were not lying about their High ratings."
On NaShFort's review of Snooze! - You Move, I Move
"@NaShfort so what did or didn't you like about the record that you gave it a 46 rating? And yeah, you're right. Nobody in the world can make good music unless they're popular. So if somebody isn't popular, they should just give up making music. And if you pick up a guitar for the first time in your life or you sing for the first time in your life, you should just give it up, because you aren't popular at that second. 😀 I saw a group called Animal Collective before they even had a record out. There were about 15 people in the audience including me. They weren't popular at all. I don't know why I bought all their records that they've been putting out for years lol"

On Snooze! - Wide Awake
"@lincoln and hey, I read all these reviews and comments, and I can't remember who said it, but somebody mentioned the beat doesn't flow with the song, that's absolutely not true. It's probably somebody that's not massively familiar with abstract rap or conscious rap or whatever the hell you want to call it. I mean we can make 4/4 boom bap, Kick Drum, bass drum,snare drum,808 drums with record scratching like Run DMC all day long, but it gets boring quick. I'd imagine the person that made that comment probably isn't familiar with much Hip Hop outside of the Sugarhill Gang and Run DMC and stuff like that. I enjoy it all, but I also enjoy abstract Jazzy complex rap. If you're a huge fan of hip hop, you got to know your history, and love it all"
On Snooze! - Wide Awake
"@lincoln Oh shit. Sweet. I'm glad my ear was on the money. I had a feeling I was right on both accounts, but I didn't want to sound too cocky like a know-it-all. And so you know, since I listen to all your guys's stuff and I'm very familiar with it, probably more than anybody, your production is getting light years better than eject you started out, that's not a diss, that's just saying, we all start out somewhere and grow. But yeah, great great production on this track."

On snoozeybro's review of Quadeca - I Didn't Mean to Haunt You
"@snoozeybro the only thing that ever steered me away from him, is the comedy stuff. I assumed since he was a "comedian", that he wouldn't be able to make serious music. You know, it's like Jim Carrey putting out a break up record or something. It wouldn't be taken seriously. But yeah, this dude was somehow able to pull it off"

On Snooze! - COME HOME SOON
"It's just a certain couple knob tweeks, and you'll get there. You will still sound abrasive and muddy, or whatever you're going for. Promise"
On Snooze! - COME HOME SOON
"Not at all. I don't mean clear. It's hard to explain. I really need to stop saying that because that's not what I mean. The same thing is I'm not a music producer, so I don't know how to explain it. What I do know is one of the most grimy records are fantastic damage and when you listen to it, you can hear the vocals and they are not clear but they are clear if that makes sense?
And look, almost everybody loves your music who hears it. But every single person is trying to give you constructive criticism on the mixing. It's really a small thing, but it's a very important thing. I promise one day you guys will understand and you will realize you can mix but still sound experimental and abrasive and all that other shit."
On lincoln's review of Flashpapr - Flashpapr
"If I ever wanted to cry, it would be by listening to the song. It's fucking beautiful. I'd be curious if you only listen to the first minute or two of the song because the vocals don't come through till after a few minutes. Anyway, I think you should recheck it out"
On lincoln's review of Flashpapr - Flashpapr
"This song encompasses being young and in love. The way that it builds up with the violins, the lyrics, his delivery, this song encompasses what it's like to be young Take this lyric: " listening to the spinning wheels, you can't sell the way it feels to be in love". OR
"Sweetheart, alphabet, don't forget how lucky we really are".
" you are my best friend, you are the most beautiful thing, I keep inside my heart".
I have probably played this song hundreds of times. That doesn't count the times where I grab my guitar and I just play and sing the whole song because it's comforting. You're a kid, maybe when you're older, you will realize how lucky it is to be young and experience love. I implore you to give this song another chance."
On lincoln's review of Flashpapr - Flashpapr
"@Lincoln with all due respect, I think you're very wrong on this one. Your rating is fine, that's not the problem, but I'll tell you what, I think one of the best songs that Fred route, was free rides on the bus. I honestly would stand by this song as one of the top five best songs that he ever wrote. Now granted, I saw him play with these guys a little over 20 years ago, and at that time, I was listening to a lot of innocent, melancholy music, so it was an easy sell.
This song encompasses being young and in love. The way that it builds up with the violins, the lyrics, his delivery, I mean this song encompasses what it's like to be young and in love. I mean God. Take this lyric: " listening"
