Dunno if it's the cold weather but I'm really starting to appreciate this now. 'Chorale' is gorgeous.

i mean like it's year end lists so you're a herb by definintion for even complaining but it is kind of bumming me out some of the really mediocre albums that are getting high placement on lists over this

yep. it's blates among the very best of the year, any way you look at it. and it seems to get better and better with each listen too.. maybe the latter is a possible reason it's not seeing as much end of year action as other stuff which is good on first listen but nothing much to return to.

The fastest way that I can know a EOY list is useless at a quick glance is if it does not contain In Conflict but does contain the new Jack White.
― MaudAddam (cryptosicko), Monday, 8 December 2014 19:00 (eleven years ago)
^^ This. Or that dull as ditch water Beck album.

What if I told you Jack White played a major part in the production of In Conflict?
― Evan, Monday, 8 December 2014 19:04 (eleven years ago)

You can substitute Beck for White, sure--I'm picking on Lazaretto because a) I've heard it, and b) i liked White's last record, meaning that the inclusion of this horrible one on so many lists feels lazy to me. I'm sure the Beck album benefits from a similar "we can't *not* include this" mentality among Rolling Stone types, though.

"I'm sure the Beck album benefits from a similar 'we can't *not* include this' mentality among Rolling Stone types, though."
This is why I mentioned in the EOY list thread that I was surprised the indie types weren't doing the same with that Spoon record.
Not to derail this thread though...

Man. I wish I had seen him in Chicago. Saw him on the last tour at Lincoln Hall and thought he was fantastic and then ... eh, I just didn't get around to it.
― jaymc, Thursday, 1 January 2015 09:00 (eleven years ago)

I noticed that OP has lots of bears, in pairs, in his audience.
also saw a guy stroking his bf's hair, and they looked alike! is that a thing now?
