lulz. I'm sure others have said this before & certainly with greater eloquence but it is stunning how unabashedly that album is stoner-dad jazz, like it's aiming for on the corner but ends up hitting mid period weather report

That would be funny if there were a kernal of truth to it, but nope, you're just wrong on both ends. There's a lot going on with Flying Lotus, but not much of On The Corner or Weather Report.

in general or on that album? bc for previous albums i wouldn't say that but you're dead is pretttaayyyy jazz-fusion indebted, and I really don't think I'm the only person to say so. if those specific examples aren't proper in yr book, that's fine, I suppose.

You're not the only person who's only reference points to jazz fusion are On The Corner and Weather Report. Reducing the album to aiming at OTC and ending up in bland Weather Report territory is just wrong. What I'm hearing is that as someone who's just not into jazz fusion and has no clue as to what FlyLo is referencing, it all kind of blends into a gray stonery wash for you. That's valid enough I guess.

I'll let Ellison speak for himself:
I don't want to make a record that Miles Davis could make, though; I wanted to make something that only I could make. I really want to go as far into my own ideas as possible. There's all these people out there trying to sound the same, trying to sound like the other guy, so I wanted to do the most “me” thing that I can do right now.Thundercat and I listened to a lot of metal in the beginning of making this album, believe it or not, just trying to approach things from a different space. I listened to a lot of Soft Machine, but I also listened to fucking Slayer. I got really into Brendon Small's stuff, and he got me into Mastodon and Gojira. That shit was tight.

...i do like some jazz fusion, although mostly just the miles records that are sometimes categorized under that umbrella and some mahavishnu orchestra stuff, admittedly i have never done deep dives into chick corea's back catalog or attempted to have the definitive understanding of what the pat matheny group was really trying to convey through the use of synth. i don't even DISlike the bloody new flylo album, despite liking cosmogramma and until the quiet comes a bit more.
but ok, i bow down in everlasting reverence to yr supreme knowledge, i have been fully dunked on & I wish you peace and happiness.

A friend sent me a Youtube clip of Brownout doing "The Wizard" last summer and I totally spaced on checking out the rest. It's a testament probably to Bill Ward's jazz roots that the songs fit into Brownout's style pretty naturally. Some creative arrangements make it a cut above just novelty.

The thing I find interesting/fascinating about EOY song lists is that for half of my favorite albums, that's how I find out what the single(s) was/were; for example, I assumed "Love Is To Die" was the single off of the Warpaint album and was slightly thrown to see "Disco/Very" popping up along with a video.
