shit year, but not in all regards
sorry, but i’m all done listening to rich people bitch about corrupt systems when they don’t get their way. maybe they didn’t like your fucking record, abel? maybe they’re still pissed about what you did with adam sandler’s side piece, abel? be a man about it and let your peers hit the sympathy circuit on your behalf. give a thank you to the fans who support you - tell them you do it for them and not for awards. then blow a rail off a panthers head and go back to quarantining between a pair of thighs you fucking cry baby.
everything in its right place - greatest album opener of all time
kid a - has one of the best rh moments on tape (the last 30 seconds when the bass and drums kick in...eggplant emoji)
national anthem - them horns. that groove. blew my young bass playing mind. i don’t care if thom wrote the line - that greenwood special sauce is what sells it.
how to disappear - top 5 all timer. obsessed since meeting people is easy.
treefingers - every time i hear it i’m immediately back in my college dorm room with a window open so i can smell the rain. shockingly effective live, too.
optimistic - the only song they played on boston radio at the time. i always resented it for that reason but have come to love it. groove for days.
in limbo - trap doors that ooooopen. see: treefingers
idioteque - another all timer. the drones they played over the bear logo in the album promos came from this one and i don’t think i’d ever been so intrigued by a simple synth tone in my life.
morning bell - yet another all timer. you want to see me cry like a baby? get them to play this at a concert. the bass line is top 3 as well. still gives me chills when old cols comes in. pure class.
motion picture soundtrack - the perfect ending, even though the strings remind me of a scene from a muppet movie (piggy in the fountains). first time i finished the album i sat for 30 minutes smiling in awe. it’s what it must have felt like for my dad hearing dark side for the first time.
there are a few perfect albums, and this is one of them.
