They haven't changed too much up but they are still sounding fresh as hell doing what they do best. The songs on here are especially tuneful with songs like "Shelter Song", "Vendetta", and "Dear Saint Cecilia" being some of their catchiest songs to date. Im also loving the subtle britpop vibes off of a few tracks here, and their typical blues influence. Overall ... read more
Squid represents a lot of the things I love about music. They perfectly utilize groove, harmony, and progression. Now, this may just be perfect to me because of how much it appeals to my taste. Specifically dance-oriented rock, progressive song structures, and a great knack for hooks. But I genuinely believe Squid are one of the more special bands out there.

I HAVE NO CLUE. It's hard to think of what I saw now that I can see what it is but I think I thought the player itself was like a bandanna and the record were your eyes and the wall was like blonde bangs?? and the left side was like a cat ear? dfjgdfjgklfdjgdjk

Hey I just wanted to let you know that my list aggregating AOTY's favorite albums of the year 1970 is finally live, and that you are included in it!
This was a very big project that would not have been able to be completed without your ratings and I hope to continue this series with future installments!
If you would be so kind as to check the list out and even possibly give me any feedback at all it would be greatly appreciated! Thank you so much!

Clocking the 100 rating just from sheer quality, this is a bit of a rare reason for sure, and great pick! Thank you for participating, and here's the link for the list, feel free to check it out! https://www.albumoftheyear.org/user/eliiscool5/list/33957/aotys-100-library/

Hello there! What is an album that you've given a 100 score, and why so?
Simple explanations are fine enough, but detailed reasoning is of course welcome. If you have multiple 100s, then just pick one of them as your answer. It's for a list by the way. Thanks in advance, and have a great day!

Thats a fucking awesome record man! Mind bending for sure and with a kickass album cover to boot! Will definitely let you know when I have this list out!
Could be why, I tend to get carried away with overly grandiose projects
