If you've ever seen Car Seat live you'd know how crazy they can get. The crowd goes wild, the band gets nutty and it's just a great time. This is an audio representation of that. Even though you're not there, if you close your eyes you can envision how amazing these performances were. There's so much energy in these live recordings
This is the Car Seat Headrest victory lap. A reimagining of what is considered his best work, a reimagining that outruns the original work by miles. Not only do I see this as the perfect Car Seat record, I also see it as a love letter to those who've stuck around with them since the Bandcamp days. This is it, guys.
I love how this thing sounds. It sounds so sparse and minimalist but at the same time so grand and massive. So many songwriting peaks on this thing. Vincent, Drunk Drivers/Killer Whales, Cosmic Hero. Costa Concordia might just be the best song Will's ever written. The monologue is enough to kill a man
This is where Car Seat's peak starts for me. This collection of reimagined tracks from earlier in the discography really showcases how good of a songwriter Will is. I love this thing so much
Boxing Day is in the running for best long CSH song. This is a really good release but it's really hard for me to listen to it all in one sitting
I just can't vibe with this one. I really do like the songs that were rerecorded for ToS, but I prefer the rerecordings. I know early CSH's whole aesthetic is the lo-fi rough recording quality but this one especially is just too harsh for me. Makes it hard to enjoy the music
inessential. All of the songs rerecorded for ToS are superior on ToS and the songs not rerecorded aren't really worth coming back to
AOTY
God I love 100 Gecs. Ever since i first listened to Money Machine I've been hooked. I've been SO on board with a remix album since the idea was hinted at and holy shit this is so good. Bro the Tommy Cash & Hannah Diamond remix of xXXi_wud_nvrstøp_ÜXXx is my favorite song of the year no cap. It's so good it's all so good it's all just so good
Dude i was not expecting Pigstep to be so good
God these are so bad. Popular girl, typical boy is genuinely an F tier song. the ukulele is so garbage and the rapping is garbage and the mixing is garbage. The ukulele makes everything sound off beat it's such a fucking mess
