If it follows the pattern of the annual song they've released for the past few years, this...should be close to my favourite album of the decade.
sounding good so far!
― art baengels (monotony), Thursday, 28 January 2016 05:15 (ten years ago)
yeah this is pretty nuts, the first song wasn't my fav but glad i stuck with it instead of going over to rihanna right away cos damn does everything sound good. need to hear hq tho
― • (sleepingbag), Thursday, 28 January 2016 05:16 (ten years ago)
I stopped the Rihanna to play this haha.
― The Reverend, Thursday, 28 January 2016 05:18 (ten years ago)
This album just ended and I applauded.
― The Reverend, Thursday, 28 January 2016 05:26 (ten years ago)
chord progression in the bridge of "the right one" is essentially the peak of music for me
i know i'm gonna fill this thread with hyperbole but i really feel that
― HYPERLINK TO RAP GENIUS (BradNelson), Thursday, 28 January 2016 05:50 (ten years ago)
does "the greatest" sound even more like an infinite swirl in album context? yes
― HYPERLINK TO RAP GENIUS (BradNelson), Thursday, 28 January 2016 05:53 (ten years ago)
god i feel like a diamond buried in a riverbed
i'm a little drunk which i think is appropriate
― HYPERLINK TO RAP GENIUS (BradNelson), Thursday, 28 January 2016 05:57 (ten years ago)
this shit is sick
― Listen to my homeboy Fantano (D-40), Thursday, 28 January 2016 05:57 (ten years ago)
"The Greatest" sounds way better on the album than in isolation.
― The Reverend, Thursday, 28 January 2016 05:58 (ten years ago)
the new intros and outros on the old songs are like some ascension to heaven-level shit
― The Reverend, Thursday, 28 January 2016 05:59 (ten years ago)
the "supernatural" intro is unreal
― HYPERLINK TO RAP GENIUS (BradNelson), Thursday, 28 January 2016 06:01 (ten years ago)
Okay, really, releasing this in January is really unfair to everyone else who wanted to release an album this year. Y'all can't make a better one than this.
― Ⓓⓡ. (Johnny Fever), Thursday, 28 January 2016 06:02 (ten years ago)
i think i can sink into this album forever!
― HYPERLINK TO RAP GENIUS (BradNelson), Thursday, 28 January 2016 06:02 (ten years ago)
ok I got a little more to drink and wow "love song"
― HYPERLINK TO RAP GENIUS (BradNelson), Thursday, 28 January 2016 06:08 (ten years ago)
i think my spine is melting

haven't followed the tracklist but whatever guitar solo happens at 45 mins is very *throws devil horns*
― Listen to my homeboy Fantano (D-40), Thursday, 28 January 2016 06:12 (ten years ago)
jesus the last song
― Listen to my homeboy Fantano (D-40), Thursday, 28 January 2016 06:15 (ten years ago)
i've spent a lot of time with these singles and they honestly feel brand new on the album
that is nuts, that never happens

hmm this wasn't what i was looking for ... lol
― Listen to my homeboy Fantano (D-40), Thursday, 28 January 2016 06:19 (ten years ago)
i mean kudos to them that they have built such a rich and seamless and iridescent ecosystem in which i hope to live forever
― HYPERLINK TO RAP GENIUS (BradNelson), Thursday, 28 January 2016 06:21 (ten years ago)
this album is an hour long? this is literally the only album on earth where i will not mind that it is an hour long
― HYPERLINK TO RAP GENIUS (BradNelson), Thursday, 28 January 2016 06:27 (ten years ago)
"the story" as the penultimate track feels like some kind of full circle thing idk. feeling something like completed symmetry just hearing that synth line
― HYPERLINK TO RAP GENIUS (BradNelson), Thursday, 28 January 2016 06:35 (ten years ago)
well cool i have been woven gently into the fabric of the universe. goodnight everyone

yes, this is an amazing moment
― The Reverend, Thursday, 28 January 2016 07:05 (ten years ago)
lol awesome thread so far, off to actually listen to the album now
― alpine static, Thursday, 28 January 2016 07:41 (ten years ago)
oh wow it's out there but i have a hectic day today. yknow what i'm not going to do king like that, i'm going to approach their album with a bit more ceremony than others (rihanna). i've waited five years i can wait one more day.
― cher guevara (lex pretend), Thursday, 28 January 2016 08:29 (ten years ago)
Ah, this is frustrating, I pre-ordered the album on Bandcamp, but it doesn't come out until next week, and I have no idea how I'd be able to play the stream on my stereo... Is it worth listening on your computer with headphones?
― Tuomas, Thursday, 28 January 2016 08:33 (ten years ago)
holy cow this is good
― lute bro (brimstead), Thursday, 28 January 2016 09:33 (ten years ago)
xp can't you just hook up your computer to your stereo?
― moans and feedback (Dinsdale), Thursday, 28 January 2016 09:37 (ten years ago)
They're in different rooms, so no, sadly.
― Tuomas, Thursday, 28 January 2016 09:53 (ten years ago)
stream it on your phone?
― art baengels (monotony), Thursday, 28 January 2016 09:55 (ten years ago)
This is the best thing I have ever heard.
― Tim F, Thursday, 28 January 2016 10:26 (ten years ago)
halfway through and there's literally nothing i can say to contradict any of you
this is exceptional
― ZESTY O'PRIDE (imago), Thursday, 28 January 2016 11:38 (ten years ago)
this is it, the singularity
― HYPERLINK TO RAP GENIUS (BradNelson), Thursday, 28 January 2016 11:39 (ten years ago)
feels so weird to finish the 2015 albums poll countdown today after listening to the 2016 winner
― ZESTY O'PRIDE (imago), Thursday, 28 January 2016 11:42 (ten years ago)
thankyou Novak Djokovic for winning so quickly and permitting me time to hear this blessed masterpiece
― cher guevara (lex pretend), Thursday, 28 January 2016 11:45 (ten years ago)
i read that as based masterpiece, still made sense.
― Tim F, Thursday, 28 January 2016 11:47 (ten years ago)
This has that diaphanous hologramic quality of Swain-Jolley produced stuff like Imagination and early Bananarama.
― The burrito of ennui (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Thursday, 28 January 2016 11:49 (ten years ago)
OH MY GOD, the climax of "oh please"
― cher guevara (lex pretend), Thursday, 28 January 2016 11:54 (ten years ago)
overwhelming tbh
― cher guevara (lex pretend), Thursday, 28 January 2016 11:55 (ten years ago)
great record
