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.

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

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

hell yeah

yesss

2 I fck with in a row what is going on

A True White Kid that can Jump (Granny Dainger), Wednesday, 5 February 2020 19:04 (six years ago)

Hate the Danny Brown Voice more than any other sound in pop music right now. Is he doing the Danny Brown Voice on this or has he worked something else out?

Matt DC, Wednesday, 5 February 2020 19:04 (six years ago)

he's doing The Voice less of late

bold caucasian eroticism (Simon H.), Wednesday, 5 February 2020 19:05 (six years ago)

Hellz yeah!

My third one to place. Fewer highs than on Atrocity Exhibition but considerably tighter overall. Probably the hip hop album I played the most last year alongside Billy Woods & Kenny Segal's Hiding Places (is there still a chance?)

toilet-cleaning brain surgeon (pomenitul), Wednesday, 5 February 2020 19:05 (six years ago)

I sure hope so

bold caucasian eroticism (Simon H.), Wednesday, 5 February 2020 19:06 (six years ago)

good album, yet a clear step down from his previous three.

i haven't returned to it much tbh

ooga booga-ing for the bourgeoisie (voodoo chili), Wednesday, 5 February 2020 19:07 (six years ago)

Love this one. Combat stands out.

beard papa, Wednesday, 5 February 2020 19:07 (six years ago)

I'd take the Danny Brown voice over the Glass Beach voice any day.

enochroot, Wednesday, 5 February 2020 19:08 (six years ago)

otm

toilet-cleaning brain surgeon (pomenitul), Wednesday, 5 February 2020 19:08 (six years ago)

Liking the Men I Trust, too. Seems to be coming from a space between Air (as mentioned a few posts ago) and maybe We Are KING?

beard papa, Wednesday, 5 February 2020 19:09 (six years ago)

reminds me most of quadron/rhye

ciderpress, Wednesday, 5 February 2020 19:10 (six years ago)

Yes, Danny Brown voice > Glass Beach voice, but it's still rough going.

Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Wednesday, 5 February 2020 19:14 (six years ago)

Huh, Men I Trust has multiple songs on Spotify with > 15 million listens.

enochroot, Wednesday, 5 February 2020 19:15 (six years ago)

When Danny Brown switches his voice, it's always a thrill, but I don't want him doing it for a whole album.

I love this record.

TikTok to the (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Wednesday, 5 February 2020 19:15 (six years ago)

Are they huge in Canada?

xp

Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Wednesday, 5 February 2020 19:16 (six years ago)

They're on a couple big Chillout type playlists. I'm betting they get a lot of play in stores.

bold caucasian eroticism (Simon H.), Wednesday, 5 February 2020 19:22 (six years ago)

I live in Montreal and had never heard of them so I don't think so.

Beautiful record <3

lol @ linking to the dem primary thread though

Le Bateau Ivre, Wednesday, 5 February 2020 19:24 (six years ago)

Tailwhip by Men I Trust is one of the best songs of the decade imho.

Love the sound of that - palm muted? - bass in their sound.

✖✖✖ (Moka), Wednesday, 5 February 2020 19:24 (six years ago)

Not my thing, alas. I'll give it another shot some time.

toilet-cleaning brain surgeon (pomenitul), Wednesday, 5 February 2020 19:24 (six years ago)

for anyone curious about the Arthur Russell, this is a highlight:

Never really warmed to Russell's non-disco material, gimme Patrick Cowley over him any day.

Tuomas, Wednesday, 5 February 2020 19:26 (six years ago)

I have never heard of this Arthur Russell album but I’ve liked almost everything I’ve heard from him.

It’s incredible how consistent and vast the quality of his posthumous work is.

✖✖✖ (Moka), Wednesday, 5 February 2020 19:27 (six years ago)

do love that men i trust record

nxd, Wednesday, 5 February 2020 19:29 (six years ago)

Pretty good day today overall.

toilet-cleaning brain surgeon (pomenitul), Wednesday, 5 February 2020 19:32 (six years ago)

I don't normally vote for archival releases but Iowa Dream shouldn't be overlooked.

Chris L, Wednesday, 5 February 2020 19:32 (six years ago)

remind me how far we're going

american bradass (BradNelson), Wednesday, 5 February 2020 19:32 (six years ago)

not digging today as much as yesterday but hopefully we still have some more to come right?

This is otm. I can't think of another example of someone's posthumous work being this good.

Le Bateau Ivre, Wednesday, 5 February 2020 19:33 (six years ago)

planning on getting to 21 though it's gonna happen in fits and starts until 7 as i have meetings and am about to go for a jog.

First, though, I notice that genre list doesn't include any country...
