Me when I work for pitchfork and the downtempo album I put on isn't full of hype moments and aura:

Aimless, but interesting

Can't believe he brought out the "One, two, buckle my shoe" flow on the same song where he rapped about raping a 15 year old

Can't comprehend why NME gave it 0 😭😭

It's really hard to judge because of what the band would later go on to do, but overall it has some great songs, one of which would stylistically define them

Underwhelming in most areas, even in production???

It's not pretty- it's gorgeous

Xiu Xiu, the band, play the music, the sounds, of, the, twin peaks, show

Huffing on Surströmming

It's melancholic in the best way possible

Ben Drowned ass album

The National

HOW?

The fall off dropped 20 days early

Interesting! If only the lyrics didn’t suck!

Addressing the elephant in the room- is it as psychedelic as the guy who threw up listening to time machine said? No, not really; especially not in the first track.
Is the album good? Yeah, but just as easily could have done without the other half.

Scary. By far I was too scared. Don’t listen to this. Too scary

Lush

The type of album your fifty year old uncle would send you just so he’d remain cool in your eyes after he accidentally dropped the n-word on thanksgiving

The features are really hit or miss
