Listening to this Battles thing for the first time now and what I'm struck by more than anything (except maybe that fabulous Alien ductwork reverb) is how the beat is so perfectly lifted from "The Beautiful People" by Marilyn Manson.
Hey, this is a pretty good song!
― Doctor Casino, Saturday, 1 March 2008 03:51 (sixteen years ago) link
I really like the trick it plays where, by being so dedicatedly weird and gnashy and freaky the whole time, it actually takes you completely by surprise when it drops in a snatch of really clear, bright, melodic playing near the end. It ends up being the weirdest thing in the song!
― Doctor Casino, Saturday, 1 March 2008 03:53 (sixteen years ago) link
"Song 4 Mutya" is pleasant enough...presumably this is a UK ilxor thing? I still can't tell a Sugababe from a Spice Girl so who cares what I think? It's nice but, can anyone chime in with why they think it's so fabulous? Musically's blurb puts it into context nicely, but is there an argument for this song? Aside from "It sounds like 'Material Girl'"?
― Doctor Casino, Saturday, 1 March 2008 04:13 (sixteen years ago) link
where the fuck is Soulja Boy on this list anyway?
― Curt1s Stephens, Saturday, 1 March 2008 05:02 (sixteen years ago) link
There's a sense of urgency in "Song 4 Mutya" when the song builds up to the chorus, where Mutya's inner voice is both sonically and lyrically challenging her visceral reaction, and they go back and forth to the point where Mutya has to yell to reclaim the chorus for herself, but in the end they join up and overlap and it clicks and snaps the chorus shut. If you don't find the chorus exciting then the whole song is pointless for the listener.
Also, the cover art is my favorite...I bought the 12" remix disc from Amoeba just to put on my wall.
― musically, Saturday, 1 March 2008 05:51 (sixteen years ago) link
Yeah, that is great cover art.

6. Battles, "Atlas" (Warp) (50 votes) Brittany and Alex: (immediately) "The beautiful people, the beautiful people." Brittany: It is! It totally is. Michael: It's not. Brittany: I hate to disagree with you, Michael. I didn't know Marilyn Manson was still making records. (vocals come in) They're singing it backwards; they're putting in subliminal satanic messages. We could do a ouija board to this.

I call hijinks -- no Electrelane! Surely because best song ever "Saturday" was mistakenly (but cutely) nominated as "Caturday."

btw...
Atlas isn't even the second best song offa the Battles album, yet its way better than Umbrella, which includes a good idea, but ain't a good song.

Were there really 50 solid albums from 2007? You know like how Juno says "do me a solid?" I don't mean it like that. I mean that none of the tracks get skipped over, because every song is good. In Rainbows, and Kala, and Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga were prob my favs of this year, and I normally skip around 3 tracks on each of these.

Who the fuck are Of Montreal anyway? One of those bands you never hear anything about ever, until they're suddenly top 10 in the Pitchfork poll? See also The National.
(Nb - this may be a British thing)
― Matt DC, Sunday, 2 March 2008 23:57 (sixteen years ago) link
Of Montreal put out 2 really good records in '04 and '05 that were pretty much ignored in terms of critical acceptance, but then people realized they fucked up and decided to make up for it by backing their next record which was merely "okay" in comparison. This happens all the time to indie bands. It also happened to Weezer when The Green Album was released.
― billstevejim, Monday, 3 March 2008 00:33 (sixteen years ago) link
I'm gonna completely disagree with that, as I couldn't really see what the fuss was about until this record, which I really like.
Also, going by both memory and the Metacritic pages, I'm not quite sure where you're getting that thing about the last two records being critically ignored.
― maciej recognizing trill, Monday, 3 March 2008 01:04 (sixteen years ago) link
Those 2 records were well-reviewed initially, but did not appear in "best of the year" lists as often as Hissing Fauna.. those lists usually grab more people's attention that a few random positive write-ups. This was somehow the record that Rolling Stone, SPIN and Pitchfork enjoyed enough to include it in their favorites of 2007.. which would have been more justly applied to Satanic and Sunlandic. Just my own opinion.
Also pretty much everyone I know IRL who has heard Hissing Fauna thinks "Grotesque Animal" is the worst thing on it.

I think "The Past is a Grotesque Animal" is one of the best tracks on that album. It's the centerpiece. The record wouldn't be whole without it.
I also had the experience that maciej describes...couldn't see the appeal of that band until this album.
