I guess that kind of makes sense. Rise above was loaded up with ridiculously catchy vocal melodies and girl group harmonies, And Bitte Orca was not. It had lots of instrumental classic rock flourishes where Rise above was mostly just melodies and noise. And I personally like noise music and girl groups way more than I like Led Zeppelin, so I guess that’s why I like it better. I also think Maria Carey is the shit and that Bon Iver is awful. So yeah. Just different taste I guess.
Yeah I have disagree about Angel. She was by far the cutest one, and if it wasn’t for her, and Amber of course, the Dirty Projectors wouldn’t be anywhere near as popular as they are now. Also Rise Above is their best album and it will be hard to top that, but I think this will be better than Bitte Orca.
You both need to get out more. That Bass line has Larry Graham written all over it. And the drum beat sounds like it was ripped from an old Teddy Riley track…. And oh yeah. This song is the motherfucking shit!
Well, This is probably my third favorite Prince album behind Dirty Mind, and Controversy. Dirty Mind is by far my favorite as When You Were Mine is one of My favorite songs of all time period. With that said this record is the shit… Probably his last great album. My fav song from this one is I could Never Take the place Of Your Man. On a side note. I recently got the Vanity 6 self titled album, where Prince wrote all the songs, and it had some killer jams on it. Its like finding a long lost Prince album.
How on earth could you possibly know that?
This is her worst single to date. It sounds like one of the filler tracks from an old rilo Kiley album. This album is going to be terrible I think.
Well. Up All Night is the only Best Coast song I have ever cared about. So seeing that on there is very exciting. I remember Stereogum posting it a long time ago, and it was one of my favorite songs of 2010.
Well… Aside from Radiohead, all those bands suck. And Bon Iver especially sounded terrible on SNL.
This record is a lot better than the Sleigh Bells record. Just Know Me on repeat is better than that record. But this record fucking rips. My fav album of the year so far. At least until The Men record comes out.
But.. My buddy who lives in Chicago and works for a hedge fund LOVES Bon Iver. As does everyone at his office I’m told.
I don’t know man… I live in Brooklyn and I don’t know anyone who likes Bon Iver.
they report on lots of artist/s who’s albums they think suck. and its not just stereogum who thinks she sucks, i personally don’t know anyone who doesnt think she blows.
Yeah i don’t know man. It seemed like Stereogum jumped off the LDR train quite a while ago… I saw this review coming a mile away. just because they posted her songs doesn;t mean they liked them. i personally think all of the songs kind of suck including blue jeans and video games, so I love the review. And I don’t think anyone is saying its pop so we must hate it. I think their saying it sucks so we hate it. This website was all about Adele all last year. They love Kanye too. I dont think they are anti pop music. I think they are anti shitty music. And to my ears, this album was pretty shitty… One of the worst albums Ive heard in a while, much worse then that Black Kids album that everyone seemed to hate so much a few years ago.
Why are you so mad Redjohn? Just go buy a couple of tickets to Bamboozle and chill out.
I think what those songs have that Frankie Rose and La Sera don’t is a really hot chick singing them.
New York Times trashed it too bro.

You’re nuts man. I can think of two songs right off the top of my head by chicks that are way better than Blue jeans and Video Games. La Sera’s- Please Be My Third Eye and Frankie Rose’s- Know Me. And thats just this month.. And those chicks Don’t get anywhere near the press LDR does. It has very little to do with the songs… and a whole lot to do with a bunch of provocative press shots, a serious/sad sounding voice/ and a somewhat interesting video.
I like pop music. I like Gucci Gucci. I like Teenage Dream. I like that Rihanna song with the crazy video. And I absolutely hate this record. They are not good pop songs. They are terrible pop songs. No hooks anywhere to be found. And that National Anthem song is completely unlistenable!!
She has fat arms. Give me Amber Coffman or that Computer Magic chick or that chick on the cover of that Diplo mixtape… Now those chicks are hot! This chicks songs suck and her she’s not that hot! She is wasting my time.
This song is outlandishly good! After that Arthur Russell cover on the last record I had a feeling she was on to something. Best song Ive heard all year.
She is not a lot better than whats on the Radio. Katy Perry, Drake, Rick Ross, Kanye West, Frank Ocean, Dj Khaled, Kreashawn, and Lil Wayne are all a LOT better than her. Beyonce and Rihanna too. And this is all without me ever listening to the radio this year. I just know that those artist have songs that are better than hers that have been played on the radio this year. So im sure there are even more artist on the radio that are better than her that I don’t even know about.
She is awful. Her songs i mean. I actually like her in the pics where she wears those booty shorts quite a bit.
Yeah…. I completely disagree. Destroyers album was in my top 5 of the year. but I still think Gucci is a better song than Chinatown. In fact its my favorite rap song of the year. Now if they had put Demo For Kara Walker at 55 and Kreashawn at 48, I would have had a problem with that. Thats’ probably the best song of the year.
Im with you. Tomboy is the shit. but I will say that I actually find it very amusing when the other Cold Cave dude dances around and pumps his fist.
You know. i liked Album quite a bit. And i love that new song they have Lawrence. But i honestly could not find anything I liked about any of the songs on that album. I mean Honey Bunny was the best one i thought and even that one wasn’t anywhere near one of my favorite tracks of the year. As well as Bon Iver goes. I didn’t really care for the first one all that much. Some of the songs reminded me of Everlast. But this one was 10X worse. the only song i liked was Beth/Rest. Which some people seemed to hate. I thought it was a motherfucking Jam! One of my favs of the year. And yeah Stereogums list was out there this year. First time since I’ve been reading it that I disagreed with almost everything on the list….
And on a side note….The Drake record is really really good. Just not Top 5 good. Top 30 maybe.
I’ve seen Dave Matthews live many times. And they are actually all pretty shitty musicians. There the kind of guys whoever never wanna listen to music they just wanna JAM. And they guys always, always suck. As for their albums. Under The Table and Dreaming is probably the best, and its not good at all. Ants Marching, Lie In your Graves, What Would you Say, Satellite. all those songs truly suck. The only song thats even kind of decent is Best Of Whats Around, and that song is mediocre at best. And I dont hate them because of their audience, in fact most of my friends are frat dudes and sorority girls. I hate them because they fucking suck. And no they are not better than Death Grips (Zach Hill is the shit BTW), or Beyonce, or Bon Iver, Or Coldplay, or even the Counting Crows. They are quite simply and by a pretty large amount, aside from Nickelback, the worst band to ever be covered by this site. But you are right about one thing, the concerts do rule. I got my first blow job at a Dave concert when I was 16 years old, and I had my first threesome at a dave concert in Noblesville, IN. Great times, shitty backround music though. I would like to thank him for playing Two Step for 30 minutes every show though. A perfect time to start making out with the girl next to you. Also, The Men album is the best of the year so far, not Cloud Nothings, you assholes!
