he is amazingly unchanged. I am transported 20 years. But I don't want to go back

"Luciferine" is wonderful (look up the lyrics) and approaches Newsom's intense-diffuse harmony-perfume. And the last track is a very pure example of her original, overwhelmingly winsome style. But the rest is more aimless than diffuse.

first track is hilarious

nearly spoiled by the vocals as usual for post-90s posthardcore but not quite

Oof. Springsteen minus band minus joy plus indie girl diphthongs plus a hint of geordie. It beats Capaldi at least

sux

Missing link between Blink and Busted

impressive formal exercise (he's not hiding behind echo like the rest of the genre)

muted, aged, dutiful. Could be a Thursday album

This is 3/4 of the way towards an incredible album and the remainder is not error but omission. It's not pretentious enough basically. Ward is probably the best musician in ATDI (as we see from "interalia" being so meh) but his band lacks idiotic magic. His fury is the normal kind. You could actually get the last quarter with remixes.

what the hell is it about supergroups????? I guess by definition you just don't have to try

just the right amount of skronk. unlike other screwed jazz, it doesn't insist on itself, doesn't linger too long on any phrase

charming n simple. the only variable is the little analogueish bursts of volume

I think I'd like concrète if it didn't put on airs. "I made some funny noises. If you listen closely they're sorta connected like music is"

nearly self-parody

lovely cheap sound. rap's Steve Reich

engaging! what windmill people wish they were

you are all inexplicable

cool setup but she doesn't do much with it

anyone else feel they only ever wrote one song
