I have disposable income to spare on one of these and I keep reading these and just trying to will myself into excitement for any of these lineups. I guess pitchfork is the winner so far.
Ah yes the infamous pre-produced beats from *checks up the page* Billie Eilish, Leon Bridges, Portugal the Man, Future Islands, Phoebe Bridgers, King Princess and Big Thief
This lineup lacks for sure but a shit load of poeple are dying to be in a community and rappers and DJs can be just as fun for completely different reasons.
Oh man, i remember listening to this on the school bus to a field trip in my Discman. I was still very much under the spell that the characters all had real-life counterparts. This sent me down a Blur rabbit hole when i actually figured out what was going on and am so grateful for that. They've had much better records than this since, but the low stakes approach is so charming i love this record.
Yeah the whole "I apologize, but...." rings super hallow these days.
Minneapolis gummer here in the thick of this and i dont believe a word the dude says.
I got Bowie right away but you are absolutely right the delivery and the almost tipping into goofy lyrics have Midnite Vultures written all over them. (i LOVE Midnite Vultures)
Wont ever miss an excuse to see where my rankings are:
1. Kid A
2. In Rainbows
3. OK Computer
4. Amnesiac
5. A Moon Shaped Pool
6. HTTT
7. The Bends
8. TKOL
9. Pablo Honey
OKC has aged a bit over the years where IR and Kid A have absolutely not aged at all.
The songs are still underbaked, but i do agree a little more studio love and a few more songs and its a classic. The songs are there just not the best presentation.
I remember when my friend showed me KOL's first couple of albums and was floored that they used to be an awesome blues bar rock band and then they turned into this.
