Yesssssssss

Second of mine to place. I wasn't sure it would make it tbh.

toilet-cleaning brain surgeon (pomenitul), Wednesday, 5 February 2020 17:03 (six years ago)

This sounds interesting...

abcfsk, Wednesday, 5 February 2020 17:07 (six years ago)

Oh thank God, I was going to be so mad at myself for not voting if this didn't place.

jmm, Wednesday, 5 February 2020 17:07 (six years ago)

Such a huge canvas and such a varied palette. I associate this one with outdoor places - it's somehow slightly pastoral, even through the noise and trauma

TOO LOW, the Curator (imago), Wednesday, 5 February 2020 17:07 (six years ago)

You may also vote for it in the metal poll.

toilet-cleaning brain surgeon (pomenitul), Wednesday, 5 February 2020 17:08 (six years ago)

TOO LOW. First of mine to place, I think I had it at #2 in the end.

emil.y, Wednesday, 5 February 2020 17:09 (six years ago)

oh i'm gonna finally listen to this record

american bradass (BradNelson), Wednesday, 5 February 2020 17:09 (six years ago)

don't know this at all, looks cool

ymo sumac (NickB), Wednesday, 5 February 2020 17:10 (six years ago)

close to voting for this but i only gave it one listen

Saxophone Of Futility (Michael B), Wednesday, 5 February 2020 17:13 (six years ago)

I haven't listened to this that much (I really have to be in the right mood) but I voted for this.

silverfish, Wednesday, 5 February 2020 17:15 (six years ago)

Did you two miss All Bitches Die too? Such righteous vengeance, such restorative anger.

xxp

emil.y, Wednesday, 5 February 2020 17:15 (six years ago)

she's great live. I preferred the less refined All Bitches Die but this is a formidable album.

bold caucasian eroticism (Simon H.), Wednesday, 5 February 2020 17:16 (six years ago)

I also prefer All Bitches Die, which has since become one of my favourite albums of all time, but Caligula's relative pastoralism (lj otm) is to be reckoned with on its own, seemingly less wrathful terms.

toilet-cleaning brain surgeon (pomenitul), Wednesday, 5 February 2020 17:19 (six years ago)

I love both equally at this point. Can't imagine last year without "Do You Doubt Me Traitor".

jmm, Wednesday, 5 February 2020 17:29 (six years ago)

Or 'May Failure Be Your Noose'. But the whole album really

TOO LOW, the Curator (imago), Wednesday, 5 February 2020 17:49 (six years ago)

I liked it the couple of times I listened but didn't really give it the time it probably needs and deserves. My computer is in the shop for a few days so I will hopefully catch up with it after then.

With considerable charm, you still have made a choice (Sund4r), Wednesday, 5 February 2020 18:03 (six years ago)

I think partly it was bc I was expecting it would be really emotionally demanding.

With considerable charm, you still have made a choice (Sund4r), Wednesday, 5 February 2020 18:08 (six years ago)

That's a totally fair expectation. I can't listen to it on most days.

toilet-cleaning brain surgeon (pomenitul), Wednesday, 5 February 2020 18:10 (six years ago)

Listened to 4 tracks, and I think I'd play Diamanda Galás instead.

Wash your hands! (Sanpaku), Wednesday, 5 February 2020 18:25 (six years ago)

Otm

tangenttangent, Wednesday, 5 February 2020 18:27 (six years ago)

RONG

toilet-cleaning brain surgeon (pomenitul), Wednesday, 5 February 2020 18:29 (six years ago)

There are clear connections, but it's not the same thing, and... why choose?

emil.y, Wednesday, 5 February 2020 18:36 (six years ago)

por que no los dos

Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Wednesday, 5 February 2020 18:37 (six years ago)

Oh nice. It would have benefited from a lengthy trimming session though.

toilet-cleaning brain surgeon (pomenitul), Wednesday, 5 February 2020 18:38 (six years ago)

Oh wow, wasn't expecting this to place, good one, super chill and groovy

Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Wednesday, 5 February 2020 18:42 (six years ago)

big fan of this one

ciderpress, Wednesday, 5 February 2020 18:42 (six years ago)

Re:Ignota - Her persona is inexplicably offputting and garish to me, and the music similarly so, though that’s definitely paradoxical in relation to most of what I listen to. I did briefly really like the previous album (it has a lot of attributes I consider very much my thing) but on repeated listens I found it getting emptier and emptier. I get that the performance of artifice and theatricality is intended, but it just does not gel for me in this project. There’s also always a more negative association to music I know I should like but don’t.

tangenttangent, Wednesday, 5 February 2020 18:46 (six years ago)

never heard of this. what is it?

doorstep jetski (dog latin), Wednesday, 5 February 2020 18:51 (six years ago)

Shambhala ish group from Montreal. Not jazz.

Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 5 February 2020 18:53 (six years ago)

completely forgot to vote for this even though i made the album thread lol

american bradass (BradNelson), Wednesday, 5 February 2020 18:53 (six years ago)

Had no idea there was any support here at all or I might have given it a vote.

Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 5 February 2020 18:54 (six years ago)

Never heard of this, but that's an awful band name + album name + album cover combo.

Tuomas, Wednesday, 5 February 2020 18:57 (six years ago)

^agreed -_-

dad genes (morrisp), Wednesday, 5 February 2020 18:57 (six years ago)

never heard of this. what is it?

lol this is one of the few I have heard

A True White Kid that can Jump (Granny Dainger), Wednesday, 5 February 2020 18:58 (six years ago)

Can't argue with that.

2xp

toilet-cleaning brain surgeon (pomenitul), Wednesday, 5 February 2020 18:58 (six years ago)

Tuomas... otm

Le Bateau Ivre, Wednesday, 5 February 2020 18:58 (six years ago)

I kinda like the cover for some reason

bold caucasian eroticism (Simon H.), Wednesday, 5 February 2020 18:59 (six years ago)

well it manages to be fuckin great despite all of that

american bradass (BradNelson), Wednesday, 5 February 2020 18:59 (six years ago)

most band names are terrible, we're just used to them.

omar little, Wednesday, 5 February 2020 18:59 (six years ago)

On the subject of Montreal trios featuring a female vocalist, may I remind everyone of how fucking awesome Big Brave's A Gaze Among Them is? You better vote for it in the metal poll, because I doubt it made this one.

toilet-cleaning brain surgeon (pomenitul), Wednesday, 5 February 2020 19:00 (six years ago)

I wish more albums had a pleasant lil intro track that made explicitly clear the name of the album I'm listening to

bold caucasian eroticism (Simon H.), Wednesday, 5 February 2020 19:00 (six years ago)

my invisalign is out, and this is oncle jazz

ooga booga-ing for the bourgeoisie (voodoo chili), Wednesday, 5 February 2020 19:01 (six years ago)

lol

toilet-cleaning brain surgeon (pomenitul), Wednesday, 5 February 2020 19:01 (six years ago)

Never heard of this either and agree with Tuomas. Kind of enjoying the actual music though, I'm gonna have to shut it off before I fall asleep though, no way am going to be able to make it through 71 minutes of this while working.

silverfish, Wednesday, 5 February 2020 19:01 (six years ago)

Fwiw bits of it reminded me of Air.

toilet-cleaning brain surgeon (pomenitul), Wednesday, 5 February 2020 19:02 (six years ago)

now for something else completely different
