Just made it to disc two, and so far I agree with what max said upthread:
i mean this is like the simplest, easiest, most cliched thing to say about it, but it just sounds like shes "maturing as an artist." theres no dramatic shift in tone or sound, just a solidifying of her skills, like shes getting more and more comfortable with what she does.― max

8:40 p.m., Feb. 23: Fell asleep listening to disc 2 of HOOM. Dreamed dreams of ethereal hussies, sinister jaggers and bandits on the king's highway.

People who liked the songs on Ys but found the production a little too suffocating might like this one more; there's definitely more space.

She's singing about daddy longlegs and I can't stop laughing. I hate all of you.

Finished my first full listen, liking it a LOT better than Ys already. But don't really take a lot of stock in me saying that, as I never fully came around on that one anyway. Definitely some songs I liked a whole lot more than others ("Good Intentions", "Baby Birch", "Esme" and "Kingfisher" all immediately come to mind) but I didn't find myself wanting to skip anyway. This will certainly take a lot more time to digest.

I think the only thing left to do is to make ILX's own Have One On Me like a certain U2 album.

Nobody notice a 'New York Tendaberry' vibe about this...
― sonnyboy, Wednesday, 24 February 2010 11:47 (sixteen years ago)
with JN, it helps to listen along while reading the lyrics. It's a very solid record/Go Long, still a favourite.

If Joanna looked like Beth Ditto this thread would only have five messages posted to it.

let me just ask a somewhat loaded question:if joanna newsom was beth ditto instead - but nothing else were different - how would you feel?
― idgi, mon (k3vin k.), Wednesday, 24 February 2010 17:07 (sixteen years ago)
those songs would sound really, really different

i like mama cass and francoise hardy - how can this be?
― velko, Wednesday, 24 February 2010 17:08 (sixteen years ago)
so wait if joanna newsom was in the gossip and sang and beth ditto rode unicorns and dated the cast of SNL, how would i feel? is that the question?
― Mr. Que, Wednesday, 24 February 2010 17:09 (sixteen years ago)
yes
― idgi, mon (k3vin k.), Wednesday, 24 February 2010 17:10 (sixteen years ago)
i would feel. . . strange
― Mr. Que, Wednesday, 24 February 2010 17:10 (sixteen years ago)
has anyone written about the influence of the Waldorf School on Joanna Newsom's music/lyrics? Cuz it's gotta be huge.
― tylerw, Wednesday, 24 February 2010 17:11 (sixteen years ago)
i think beth ditto can sing better than JN, for one thing.
also, i feel sorry for that poor unicorn
― Mr. Que, Wednesday, 24 February 2010 17:11 (sixteen years ago)
i hope we're on the same page here que fwiw
