i've come around to "beautiful exit" still not crazy about the guitars but pretty much everything else is really good about that song especially the vocals

It's missing a desert scene but otherwise I feel this clip is kind of perfect for the song?

"what's normal anyway" has a pop punk outro
his band is straight up unbelievable
there were breaks but it felt like a continuous 90 minutes of music

lol yes sounds like a very good activity.
i really dig NWA but sometimes kurupt's verse kind of grates, it is a little corny maybe?
not super into his album as a whole tbh, def rank it below the first two
― flopson, Thursday, 13 August 2015 16:27 (eight years ago) link
yea
― Spottie, Thursday, 13 August 2015 16:30 (eight years ago) link
ditto, but the highs are excellent
― Meta Forksclove-Liebeskind (forksclovetofu), Thursday, 13 August 2015 21:11 (eight years ago) link
the highs are nice but none come close to "coffee" imo, I think I'd feel way differently about this album if it didn't have "coffee"
― marcos, Thursday, 13 August 2015 23:42 (eight years ago) link
but yea there are a fair amount of tracks I skip
This was a disappointment in the end. I thought Coffee would be the conventional really good-but-nice middling track amongst other truly great things that stretched out his sound. As it turned out, it was the best song and the strongest hook. Offputting production and session muso rock guitar sounds didn't help.
― paulhw, Friday, 14 August 2015 00:01 (eight years ago) link
yea a lot of the rock touches on this just don't appeal to me
― marcos, Friday, 14 August 2015 00:04 (eight years ago) link
boooooo @ everyone

coffee is sublime though easily one my favorite tracks of the year
― marcos, Friday, 14 August 2015 00:08 (eight years ago) link
I'm having this weird relationship with the album right now where on one listen I'll really like it, and then on the next I'll find its spotty and trying.
"Coffee" still among the best tracks of the year, if not THE best.

i love the rock touches on this!!! still as wonderful as ever for me
― lex pretend, Friday, 14 August 2015 09:22 (eight years ago) link
idk i never really liked "coffee" that much
i do find the album lacking somewhat compared to kaleidoscope dream but it still has a few great songs
― dyl, Friday, 14 August 2015 15:01 (eight years ago) link
this album is so warm and glowy idk

First Ave show was moved to State Theater. A somewhat less exciting prospect but I'll be there. He talks about the venue change here: http://www.citypages.com/music/miguel-talks-first-ave-racial-expectations-sex-7567982

I was at the State Theater show in Minneapolis last night. People were not kidding how incredible his band is. One of the highlights was the guitarist spinning around really fast whilst playing The Thrill. One of the best live shows I've been to.

haha yea me too, i listened this morning and i was like "okay this is awesome there are only like 2 tracks i don't like"
― marcos, Monday, 17 August 2015 14:39 (eight years ago) link
"the valley" is really bad imo, i'm just not feeling that tune at all
"flesh" on the other hand is great
"leaves" i've always liked but this morning it's been especially powerful, that tune is amaaaaaaaaaaaazing
― marcos, Monday, 17 August 2015 14:41 (eight years ago) link
i don't think i know who geoffreyess is???
i was at the minneapolis show. i had a great time, but in recollection my feelings are kind of negative, i'll have to think about it
― goole, Monday, 17 August 2015 15:31 (eight years ago) link
it was kind of a marathon; he gave songs i liked less real workouts, stuff i liked he just kind of breezed through.
and maybe i totally lost the plot but i don't think he played arch & point?
i was into how douchey is band was though
― goole, Monday, 17 August 2015 15:34 (eight years ago) link
man that opener though, wtf was that even
