really good vibes all throughout and some real highlights (Chicago, Beautiful Strangers), but most tracks felt just ok, probably cause of the lyrics.
In 3D Country, Geese maintain all the good aspects of its predecessor, while delivering a much tighter and more cohesive package.
Not vibing at all with this. There are some good tracks (Low Era, Fantasies / Survival, First World Warrior is the highlight for me), but for the most part, it sounds like a really weird, disjointed, bad mix of post-punk and math rock. Tracks for the most part feel way too overblown, with lazy vocals and annoying guitars. There are sections within the longer tracks that, in my opinion, should've been interludes. Bottom line is: there are good things within this record, but for the most ... read more
It's a pretty hard flex to make a concept double record in which the great majority of the songs are pretty fucking good. Can't wait to get it on vinyl.
An album that's overhated (not overrated!) due to people elevating it to something that it's clearly not trying to be: a damn good and fun rock album. That's all.
Absolute beauty of an album. Songs like What's Going On, What's Happening Brother, God Is Love and Mercy Mercy Me (The Ecology) are so filled with love and emotion, it's truly something to behold. Other songs like Save The Children, Right On and Wholy Holy didn't appeal much to me and felt a bit dragged, but still good tracks.
Haven't listened to a Foo Fighters album in some time. Having outgrown them a bit, this album was something that initially didn't appeal to me, but after a few more thoughtful listens, and knowing the context behind it, it's very difficult to not relate to the songs here, even at some level.
Being only familiar with Daft Punk's RAM and Discovery, this album sounds a bit different from what I expect from them and also from what I listen to in general. Nevertheless, I enjoyed it. As someone who's not really familiar with house music, some parts did feel a bit repetitive/annoying, but I could definitely picture myself dancing to these songs in a club somewhere in France, which was cool.
Highlights: Daftendirekt, Da Funk, Phoenix, Fresh, Around the World.
Definitely a lot of edgy and cringy vibes from this album, but hey, it was the 2000s. That aside, up until No Jesus Christ, this album is pretty solid. The Careless Whisper cover is the highlight of the album, and also one of the best covers I've heard.
Most songs here are good at best, but the majority just felt really boring to me.
I feel like this is missing that laid-back, mysterious intensity that I usually associate with (and want to listen from) Julian. Just not for me, I guess.
Highlights for me are Out of the Blue, 11th Dimensions and 4 Chords of the Apocalypse.
def better than its predecessor First Impressions of Earth, but still not in the same level as their first two albums. I do like to hear the Voidz-like electronic experimentation though.
a very accessible and beautifully written city pop album. some very nice instrumentals and cozy ballads here. you could say it's a bit cheesy at times, but that doesn't bother me at all.
Some really cool and catchy tracks, but the album would definitely benefit from a smaller track list. The album as a whole gets dragged down by the majority of forgettable tracks.
