The singles were REALLY good. Unfortunately, the rest of the album doesn't quite carry the same energy. I liked this record, I didn't love it. WHAT HAPPENED to "welcome back to Trench"? This didn't pick up the storyline or even the style of Trench, which is kinda disappointing. There are some high highs, like Vignette, which is an incredible atypical chamber pop banger. However, I'll always take away points for peepee poopoo bars and (SPOILER) this album has some and they're ... read more
This one was great. MASSEDUCTION didn't really stick in my mind for whatever reason outside of a couple tracks, but this one was on a different level and I just keep coming back
If anybody was going to find a use for that old Enigma song, it was gonna be Ezra
UM EXCUSE ME? How have I slept on this for almost a decade. This record completely changed my opinion on Grimes, and made me understand why she's so popular in the first place. This was way ahead of its time, and it's aged like fine wine
hobo johnson alienated everyone with this one tbh. bad on all objective measures, but kind of a musical shitpost and i enjoyed that part of it
Vibrant, energetic and fun. If my mom asked me what kind of music it is, I'd have no idea how to describe it
Not exactly my thing, but really interesting nonetheless. I'm honestly just impressed at their versatility at this point. Also love the Kraftwerk influence
Suddenly everything makes sense
I didn't understand a single word on this record, but I could feel what it was about
Edit 100->82:
Didn't really stick with me long-term tbh. Still a great post-rock record
Perfect perfect perfect. I'll probably be retired before we hear the next one, tho
This one made me sad. Huge bump in production quality, but overall a more mundane, homogenous record that's just In Return but in a different font
This was a massive pivot in terms of style for the group. Rumor has it that Alex Turner was originally going to record this as a solo project, but ended up getting together with the band to make it. I really didn't like it at first; I was expecting more AM vibes. But I just kept coming back, and it's since become one of my favorite of theirs. It paints this extraterrestrial underworld picture that is so vivid and compelling that it keeps drawing me back in. There are a couple of skips, but ... read more
