Oh how I wish it was just an hour long. God this album drags. It has some amazing parts but every song is just too damn long and while I admire the drive to innovate, it definitely could have used some trimming in post-production. I love many of the songs but I often just cant bring myself to listen to the whole thing.
An enigmatic album, it's centered around the use of an electric violin which isn't exactly very common. It's novel, and I don't think it needs to be more than that.
Really weird, though not always in a bad way. It has moments where the experimentation pays off, but you're often kind of left waiting.
Saw them live in Reykjavík, I might never see a better concert so long as I live. Phenomenal album and a much better usage of the That's My Floor beat than on Lil Yachty's Let's Start Here.
I think it's really easy to compare her persona to that of Kendrick Lamar, but it's not really fair. Simz brings a lot to the table including an overarching orchestral theme you don't really see elsewhere, very interesting.
Another album I really wanted to like but found extremely hard to get through, I might just be too autistic for this whole music thing but some of the textures at play here just weren't for me.
It's certainly a good introduction to the more mature side of psychedelic rock and maybe more specifically a love letter to Pink Floyd. There were a lot of extremely talented people involved here whether or not you want to exclude Yachty from that list is up to you, but you got to appreciate that he's the one who brought it to life.
Got obsessed with this record for like 2 months, it has a really peculiar sound that's only heightened by the vocals.
There are few albums that so well sum up a scene, if we're talking New Wave, we're Talking Heads. Every track is spectacular and bombastic in it's own way and I couldn't name a single song I'd go without.
It's certainly one of the Paul Simon records, though I struggle to think of what this album brings to the table that wasn't already done on Graceland. I quite liked Can't Run But, that's a great song.
Of the few rock operas I've heard, it's one of the better ones. I found that most of it just didn't quite capture me like for example The Wall does, but the last chapter is really something else, definitely the highlight of the album for me.
One of the more grating albums I've heard, there was exactly one instance where it hit. I was already fuming and decided to put it on and wouldn't you know it the album echoed my thoughts exactly, so punk definitely has it's place, but it's not one I share.
I personally know the creator, and man oh man was I expecting to have to deliver praise through a false grin. But wouldn't you know it, the guy is actually super talented. It's a very nice blend of interesting instrumentals reminiscent of Paul McCartney or even The Beach Boys, while retaining a modern touch. It's very nice. Highly recommend.
I loved it at first, but over time the lack of absolutely stacked features that TPAB had kind of starts to show here. Being a double feature the album has a lot of songs that just don't quite scratch that itch. Especially the more derivative songs specifically aimed a mainstream audience just aren't very fun to listen to and I usually skip them when listening to the album. That being said there are several masterpieces on here that just cement Kendrick's talent for creation.
What is there even to say. It's the epitome of jazz fusion and probably the best work the genre ever produced.
