most hideous album art of the year. silverchair singer makes album of smooth r&b sex jams and for the most part succeeds. in the miguel thread i suggested this record is a really nice counterpart to wildheart but ymmv

But will there be any lyrics about tuna and fungus in milk? That's the question!

I really liked Aerial Love (and still do), but I haven't been able to crack the whole album yet. Seems like work.

it is too long

You kinda have to admire the guy for wanting to piss off his original Frogstomp/Freak Show-era fanbase as much as possible.

he's been deliberately alienating them for like fifteen years now

i remember liking some of the dissociatives record but its been so long since i've heard it

this one sounds intriguing

spent a lot of time with this over the weekend and it's frankly incredible. i'd cut like four tracks from the thing regardless

...i feel like tim should hear this

been listening to it on and off for a few weeks, it's a bit of a disappointment on the whole following the promise of side one (especially the first few songs), but it really is a strong record and so much better than i would've imagined ("imagination," by the by, being my favorite). i'd say it's the best album he's ever put out, by a clear margin. just sorta frustrating since all it'd take to improve it, and really tighten its cohesion, would be to shave about a third of it off.

I will listen to this Brad because I trust you. Don't let me down.

lol well you should know i love the last silverchair record. but this doesn't really resemble them at all

Difficult for me to get hold of this in China, but he's still palling around w/the Presets, right? And ... oh god, Joel Little? Noooooooooooo. Though tbh, Brad, I'd kinda be curious about yr take on his OG pop-punk band Goodnight Nurse.
