It’s been a while since I’ve had that surefire “this’ll be AOTY” feeling

yeah i’m with map, really don’t get the enthusiasm for this.

honestly "Neon Memories" is the first thing I've heard that sounds like what I imagined pop in 2022 would have sounded like back in 1997
― frogbs, Tuesday, 23 August 2022 02:52 (two years ago) link
Okay I listened to Neon Memories on my studio monitors and it’s pretty great, not exactly my cuppa but I was into it! sorry for doubting, I just didn’t remember liking any of the stuff from the new one
― broccoli rabe thomas (the table is the table), Wednesday, 24 August 2022 00:06 (two years ago) link
just sounds like "Life in a Northern Town" with glitch to me

Oh, that's cool! She seems to be getting more bonkers every time I dip into her stuff.

the whole 4s4ki album (killer in neverland) is great, i think it's her best yet

oooh, this opening track is supremely promising

dds album is pretty good but definitely longer than it needs to be & not every track really works
― ufo, Thursday, 22 September 2022 23:04 (two years ago) link
counterpoint: this is an overwhelming but fantastic first listen, suspect it will only deepen with more. clearly a major achievement
― imago, Friday, 23 September 2022 10:39 (one year ago) link
it's almost there but "fade persona" is a dud for one

RYM going gaga over this at the moment. glad to hear it's living up to expectations but I'm gonna be a doofus and wait until the record arrives

My thoughts as well. Though most of it is ultra-maximalist and hyperactive, after one listen the more ballad-like songs made the deepest impression on me ("Missing Person", "Before I Cool Off", "Where Does It Come From?"). Tech and James are both fantastic singers

a bit shorter and aoty contender for me

Darklife is fantastic. Thank you all for talking up Neon Memories, without which I never would have checked out the album. AOTY contender for me. I even like Fade Persona!
So otm.

Yes. Messe de E-102 is the one for me though, it is just the most spectacular thing
― imago, Friday, 30 September 2022 06:44 (one year ago) link
Messe is a real highlight.
I've been stimming on Light Left the Garden a lot today too. The second verse where it drops down to pretty much just the synth slap bass and vocals is soooo good.

weekend highlight was this reissue

Will have a listen! New Fire-Toolz is occupying me for the moment. It's sounding absolutely wonderful 3 tracks in. Soda Lake With Game Genie especially really quite something

― imago, Wednesday, 12 October 2022 08:36 (one year ago) link
yep this has been my morning too, delightful stuff
― nxd, Wednesday, 12 October 2022 08:39 (one year ago) link
I really love the dds record, and while it's obviously doing different things than the Fire-Toolz record, one of the things that appeals about dds and some Orange Milk associated products is that the vocals are heavily processed but pleasant to listen to. Once the black metal vocals come in with Fire-Toolz, I nope out— totally ruins it for me.
― broccoli rabe thomas (the table is the table), Tuesday, 18 October 2022 14:39 (one year ago) link
p sure Fire-Toolz knows her vocals are an aesthetic choice that will alienate a lot of otherwise receptive listeners, but I can only commend her boldness in not compromising the vision. glad to have you on one of the shipboards at least!
― imago, Tuesday, 18 October 2022 14:42 (one year ago) link
oh i know, and at first with FT i sort of liked it, but there's a reason i don't listen to a lot of black metal— i just don't like the scratchy incomprehensible vocals. if FT utilized the low, cookie-monter demon growl, I might be more receptive.

Darklife really seems like the kind of album that ought to have its own thread on here but it would just be like the 4 of us
― frogbs, Monday, 31 October 2022 02:14 (one year ago) link
That’s because it’s not very good
― calstars, Monday, 31 October 2022 02:34 (one year ago) link
i think i did an orange milk one but dds as an individual thread sounds good
interesting what the next step is
what didn't u enjoy about darklife calstars?
― nxd, Monday, 31 October 2022 16:57 (one year ago) link
Just not a dds fan is all. Except for the last song on Try Living Like This. But generally find their stuff too kinetic for my taste
