My first skip was Can, towards the end of the opening 20 minute jam. Not horrible by any means, but just not something I need.
I made it all the way through GY!BE, which must be a lifetime first, but my constant thought was "basically this = the Swans it's still OK to like". It didn't give me anything that Swans used to give me more of.

didn't realize it had its own thread (rather than just part of the Promises thread discussion). Not even sure where I heard of it now. A gorgeous little trip

when moctar built his own guitar when he was a child, he should've made it an electric one. what was he thinking?

The Nala Sinephro mixing is particularly astounding. One of the best sounding records on the countdown imo.

Tala Tannam is a very beautiful acoustic track; I retract the 'Judas' which was a joke anyway :p

a fine debut but kind of obviously a padded out EP, it’s too high here but it was too high on every year-end list

ok so those are two out of the three albums i listened to and loved the most last year, pretty sure the other one isn't placing

I'm surprised that the Sinephro record is that high too, really good record though and it does sound incredible. For fans of it I'd also recommend that John Carroll Kirby record 'Septet' from last year, it's also incredibly produced.

I hate to say it, but seeing the Dawn cover zoomed in like that, it's kind of wack

I like Dawn Richard but calling the album 'Second Line' and including those little audio clips talking about New Orleans and second line culture, but the music having zero reference to it, it drives me a little crazy. I mean it's part of her culture and she's not beholden to it, but still.
― change display name (Jordan), Friday, 11 February 2022 15:59 (two years ago) link
yeah this is good - brilliant at points - and L'Rain deserves plenty of attention (and your attendance at any gig she performs near you, seriously), but this is a classic case of a merely-good record getting the props that its masterpiece predecessor failed to get at the time
lol @ 11 in both polls tho, c'mon
― imago, Friday, 11 February 2022 15:59 (two years ago) link
listened to Second Line way more than.... anything else that i didn't find room for on my ballot. Feels bad!only really vibed with track 1 on the L'Rain but I'll go back
