Disagreed but even still, it’s odd to see an insinuation that his discography is anything less than sterling. I certainly haven’t noticed anyone else becoming disillusioned about Elliott Smith in recent years; the same cannot be said for the article’s cited class of ‘09 all stars.
Most of his songs have that "damn peggy" sample
The hook in How Deep Is Your Love? is a note for note rip of the chorus of "The Thong Song" by Sisqo, as many pointed out upon release. Great song though
i come from down in the valley you ain't been off of that porch
billy woods has been doing this for at least a decade if I recall correctly... It's still annoying but it's hardly a 'new trend'
this is a great and informative article. Thanks!
You either cancel your set or live long enough to see yourself become canceled
we get it, Michael: you've read Infinite Jest.

This is going to be his fourth solo album. Clear Heart Full Eyes came out in 2012.
What does the claim that this album "holds up" say about either NTMT or "almost ever other 2013 LP"? Like "[album x] was ahead of its time," it's a meaningful-sounding but ultimately vacant phrase, absent any context or elaboration, which indeed is what's missing here. Hence my comment.
"It holds up better than almost every other 2013 LP" huh? it's a solid album but what does this even mean?
the other site idiotically called the beat a "ska punk band" in their obit
y'all are late to the party
Agreed 100% with this comment.
Amazing title. Surprised it hasn't been thought of before, as far as I know. Kind of excited for this...
yeah, this band is about as "cool and real" as SXSW itself
"the middle" is indistinguishable from closer by the chainsmokers, possibly an even lamer song
Their best by far.
No mention of his excellent split with Porches from 2014, which got a lot of press upon release and was my introduction to him. https://seagreenrecords.bandcamp.com/album/porches-mdou-moctar-split
Likewise Dinosaur / Dinosaur Jr.
some of these actually look pretty ehhhh on paper. hopefully the music helps -- about to dive in now
this band looks like they stepped out of 2008 bonnaroo, obviously not in a good way. Bait-takers stay getting played
This song is a little bit on the nose lyrically, don't you think? Powerful chorus but I'm not sure there's much substance behind the lyrical clichés... It's pretty much "Born This Way."
almost all of the lyrics on that album make me cringe so maybe he's on to something
This headline is basically "they did surgery on a grape"
