I want to like her more than I do. She's clearly had a big influence on the current class of indie favorites, but I just find her music kind of dull.

Listening to this for first time now. Not terrible, but the She Makes War album scratched this particular itch for me last year.

#75: Charlie Puth – Voicenotes - 192 points – 6 votes – 1 first place vote
new charlie puth
Doreen St. Félix: “Unlike many of his peers, Puth remains committed to the joys of a well-wrought chorus, and his nimble refrains deserve comparison to the heyday of Taylor Swift.”
Jon Caramanica: “One of the year’s best pop albums.”
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Monday, 4 February 2019 15:01 (five years ago) link
the Barnett album was as good as the first.
Puth's album is terrific.

had no idea there was a boyz ii men collabo on this puth album

Courtney Barnett seems to be getting less interesting with each album. I still think the Double EP collection has much more charm than anything else she's done.

record was a real surprise. wasn’t a strong year for pop albums so the surprise lingered
― jolene club remix (BradNelson), Monday, 4 February 2019 15:04 (five years ago) link
a few really lovely tracks on this like "The Way I Am" and "Boy" but it didn't do it for me as a whole
absolutely a surprise yeah
― ufo, Monday, 4 February 2019 15:05 (five years ago) link
I guess I should give this Charlie Puth album a go. It's just hard to get past some of his past musical crimes. That Megan Trainor duet is one of the worst songs of the last few years.
― kitchen person, Monday, 4 February 2019 15:09 (five years ago) link
i don't think it's that great but it's nothing like his dreadful debut and even he's said he hates that iirc
― ufo, Monday, 4 February 2019 15:11 (five years ago) link
half a track in, it's hard to get past his lyrics
― imago, Monday, 4 February 2019 15:13 (five years ago) link
I like the songs individually but one after the other they're too structurally and sonically similar so far

My #15 and imo by FAR the best rap album of the year. It's brilliant. I hope you all give it a try. The run of tracks towards the end (Breakfast of Champions onwards) is absolutely stellar

just remembered that I instinctively avoided getting into this because I spotted the hodgman and offerman "features" which was almost certainly unfair

xp hey, hannibal buress features too
Everything that makes this album corny (indie hip-hop rapped and produced by old-timey backpacker couple) also makes it awesome, as they're both excellent rappers and producers and clearly an excellent couple too

I know Autechre and Monae will but outside of that I'd be thrilled if something I voted for shows up

Great album! My only complaint is that a couple of Jean Grae's verses reach such god-like heights that the rest of the album can feel a little underwhelming for just being really good.
― Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Monday, 4 February 2019 15:23 (five years ago) link
Are backpackers still uncool? I thought history was cyclical.
― pomenitul, Monday, 4 February 2019 15:24 (five years ago) link
I think the last ATCQ album basically made everyone realise the backpackers were right all along
― imago, Monday, 4 February 2019 15:25 (five years ago) link
ATCQ are pre-backpacker tbf

pre-backpacker but also maybe the single biggest influence on it? xp

Charlie Puth album reminds me a bit of the first Daniel Bedingfield LP (a good thing).
Love the JG & QC record, first one I've heard b4 today, but no quibbles with the placement.
― Jeff W, Monday, 4 February 2019 15:28 (five years ago) link
idk the first few tribe albums didn't dwell very much on social issues, nor was there much concern-trolling about mainstream rap.

Russell Cuzner: “The Javanese duo’s new album distils the energy of earlier releases and evokes the gravity of our relationship with nature.”

well Tip got jumped over Phife's New Jack Swing diss.
― We were never Breeting Borting (President Keyes), Monday, 4 February 2019 15:31 (five years ago) link
this promised much but ultimately didn't do much for me, but if you like things that really like to repeat their unusual sonic trick then go for it
at least it's a weird one I guess

This album didn't do as much for me as I'd hoped it would but it did make me want to properly explore Southeast Asian folk music.
