yeah the future album was super disappointing. the title track owns though, which reminds me that totally got snubbed in the tracks poll, goons blew that one

tbf it was in 2013, when the vote was split between half a dozen great Future hits

huh for some reason i thought the single was released in late 2013, i guess it was august
― k3vin k., Monday, 26 January 2015 19:04 (nine years ago) link
ok i listened to a little bit of warpaint and yes i would enjoy the music a lot more if there were no words/vocals
― groundless round (La Lechera), Monday, 26 January 2015 19:04 (nine years ago) link
not because their voices are boring or offensive or w/e they're just not interesting enough to add to the music and words themselves are distractingwould rather just groove along instrumentally
― groundless round (La Lechera), Monday, 26 January 2015 19:06 (nine years ago) link
dunno whether i should be surprised future scraped in or slightly pity the fall of a former ilx favourite
the album wasn't that bad at all, "special" and "i be u" are pretty great, but it really had a grab-bag, unsure feel about it

there are a lot of great tracks on Honest (plus a couple terrible ones admittedly). feel like you guys are kind of overinvested in the narrative on this one

Word. It's not as good as Pluto, but it's like 80% as good as Pluto, which was hardly super-consistent anyway. It got my vote and I'm glad it made the countdown. I feel like this album's rep would be better if most of the best tracks weren't buried in the last half.
"Move That Dope"/"Honest"/"I Be U"/"Covered In Money"/"Special"/"Benz Friends"/"Blood, Sweat, & Tears"/"How Can I Not"/"Sh!t"/"Karate Chop" <--- all great

Honest just had a Carter 3 vibe to me where it seemed like he gave away a classic album's worth of songs to other artists and then threw together some leftovers for his own album

I think the flat-affect singing on the Warpaint album is the unifying thread across the songs that weave them into a stronger whole.

yeah this is exactly how i feel, the vocals only get really emotive at a handful of points on the album and every one is full of intention

Tbh, I was never that into Future's big 2013 features. None of "Love Me" or "Bugatti" or "UOENO" or "Tapout" ever really did anything for me.
― The Reverend, Monday, 26 January 2015 19:17 (nine years ago) link
The Khun Narin album was okay as a curio but I didn't LOVE the music. Getting 6 people or whatever to do the work of one drummer is whatever...
― diss strychnine (dog latin), Monday, 26 January 2015 19:20 (nine years ago) link
Noura Mint Seymali and Call Super and Ought all sound promising so far. Babymetal are fun and I officially approve of them but they aren't for me. I still need to check out the Ninos du Brasil album too.
― The Reverend, Monday, 26 January 2015 19:20 (nine years ago) link
Nice! My #3! LOVED that Khun Narin album. So much fun for a jammy psych album. If you are unfamiliar with the album definitely check out the street videos of their performances. It really gives it a lot of context...not that the context is entirely necessary, but it's interesting.

I have done my time! Cant cope with the idea of whole albums of this stuff! Also I didnt nominate or vote for any albums so it doesnt seem right
― saer, Monday, 26 January 2015 19:20 (nine years ago) link
xp i think that's otm, youtube def played a role in my love of the album. not sure if i'd like it as much just on its own.
― Mordy, Monday, 26 January 2015 19:23 (nine years ago) link
Much prefer listening to an actual phin than what Khun Narin is doing tbh. This just reminds me I should've nominated that Soundways comp.
