Trust your feelings. The correct answer is GoD.

Too late. Let's all note this and then come back again after another two albums. Hahe. I think like many my favourite of his stuff is Games. He still hasn't topped Strawberry Skyies for me.

But now I'm listening to GoD and.. well. This guy.

I don't really get how people say this new one is difficult. Some of the last records seemed so flat to me, like an electronic no-wave. This new one has some cute melodies and even some soaring housey moments.

new one is so overcooked... the songs carry no weight. it feels like a big, meticulously crafted collage with zero fat. the only tracks that seem to have mass and/or momentum are Mutant Standard, I Bite Through It, Freaky Eyes, and No Good. otherwise it sounds like an assemblage of parts that are fashioned to fit together. the abundance of chipmunk-y (or slowed) vocal samples, chopped and pitched sounds flimsy as fuck, it ruins "Lift", imo. does anybody feel "Animals"? i hope it grows on me?

Nocturnal urban adventure landscape soundtrack = GoD

the sound palette on GOD is super harsh and dark to me, he described one of the songs as "the feeling when you drink 20 mountain dews and burn a house down, and the crash that comes after." it's not pleasant or pretty, like someone said here or on another thread, more conceptually interesting than actually fun to listen to. r plus seven is a museum piece but it's beautiful and scary... i can't find a way into enjoying rather than just appreciating GOD

More I listen to GOD the more I dislike the tracks with the autotuned vocals. yet stuff like "I Bite Through It" and "Mutant Standard" are quickly becoming favorites. Feels like his most inconsistent record.

anybody tried to read along with the lyric sheet ?

Have yall listened to the eccojams vol. 1 tape he released in 2010? I wouln't rate it with any of the albums being polled here but it's still pretty incredible, especially if you are at all interested in the vaporwave aesthetic

Might have mentioned this, but his live show for GOD is super different: very harsh and loud, almost like a noise show.
― starkiller based god (Treeship), Wednesday, 30 December 2015 18:07 (eight years ago) link
he's playing in really small rock clubs in the spring, can't wait

Strong showing for all, makes sense. You can make a good argument for all of them. I'm still trying to figure out GoD, though.

it's odd to see Chrome Country as a piece to be performed live
also realised recently that the organ line at the end was also used in Autre Ne Veut's Gonna Die (produced by OPN)

Didn't realize he had a whole live group, imagined he just played solo
― Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Tuesday, 29 May 2018 17:51 (five years ago) link
he does typically perform solo, but he recruited players for these recent MYRIAD shows

can't find any setlists online, what are the old songs he's encoring with?
― flappy bird, Tuesday, 29 May 2018 18:41 (five years ago) link
have seen mentions of Child of Rage and Chrome Country (as seen in that video), don't know if there's others
