Car Seat Headrest - Teen of Denial: Joe's Story
70

Alright, bear with me, this is a long one. I don't know why this was the first time I've ever felt motivated to write a long album review, but I'm glad I did. It helped me make sense of my feelings on this album, and hopefully other people can read what I say here and look on this album maybe a little bit more favorably. It is by no means close to the same level as the original, but it makes sense to me now.

I was extremely excited when this album got announced. Teens of Denial ... read more

Tame Impala - The Slow Rush
NR

Has some really good tracks but there are definitely quite a few skips.
Doesn't punch as high as Currents, but still gets awfully close. It's clearly just trying to ride that Synthy Psych Rock that Currents did so well, but I don't think that's a bad thing.

Tame Impala - Currents
NR

So peak.

I don't love Cause I'm a Man and Yes I'm Changing, but I have no complaints with the rest of the tracks. An album is only as strong as its weakest track, and this album is still very strong.

Black Country, New Road - For the first time
NR

Only listened to this once so my rating is bound to change.

I didn't love it as much as AFUT, but that's an extremely high bar to judge an album on.
I love how grounded the lyrics are compared to AFUT. A lot of new things to listen to here, and I like most of them.

I didn't expect to love Opus as much as I did, but that's easily the best track on here for me.
I still miss you Isaac.

Two Door Cinema Club - Tourist History
NR

Bangers. So many bangers.

But it's nothing groundbreaking, just great music.
I don't feel many feelings when I listen to this record, but I do feel happiness.

Me 3 years ago would easily give this album a 100/100, but then I started listening to some fucking masterpieces and now I've put this album in perspective. I love it, but it's just great indie pop/rock, and not much more than that.
