Sam was consistent in his style up until Kiss Each Other Clean (KEOC). It wasn't bad but it wasn't great either. I even heard him perform some songs from KEOC live and wasnt all too blown away (unlike previous albums). That said...it was a new approach and I see it more as expanding his artistic abilities. This new album definitely sounds better and more cohesive overall so yeah -- I approve doods.
Plague was great and so is this. They are really coming along in terms from where they started musically. Much more melodic and thought out compositions. Still wish for a little more of that crazy Alice scream though.
Its good to see Crystal Castles is still alive though. One of the only worthwhile bands that came out alive from the golden age of indie music (2000-2010). Oh yeah...I went there.
What happened to stereogum!? This was once a vast plain of trolls and commentators but no more, it is filled with civil (however still stupid) discourse. I will have none of that! And I refuse this new change but if anything I guess this lets me cut through the bands that suck so I guess this is good.
Mmm they have changed so dramatically since the days of The Big Come Up. It sounds like a mix of Rubber Factory + Attack and Release styles. Like a combination of blues and rock with a pinch of soul. Either way I guess its pretty good, as others have been saying -- Little Black Submarine...wow definitely the most impressive track thus far.
I would be a shoe-in for worst commenter of all time if all my negative votes were tallied. Now make me an internet superstar and mention me Stereogum staff!
Questlove by far had the funniest post.
As above though, its always appropriate to celebrate when someone who breeds hate and violence is put to rest. Not to say I am celebrating his death per say, rather the fact that an evil force will no longer produce a negative impact upon this world...and that's good right? But who is to able to define what is good and evil in this world. That would probably fall within the conundrums of your own philosophies....anyways time to steal from the homeless and punch some endangered baby seals. Later all!
