I think KJB's taste overlaps with mine significantly!

My only experience with Outloud was dropping in a handful of times while my wife was out of town, but I heard in there what ended up being my #2 track.

If Cosmic Dead places, I think that that will be proof positive of the effectiveness of the outloud hivemind this year.

This album is almost expressly made to push all my buttons, but failed to do so every time I gave it a listen. :(
― Johnny Fever, Monday, 30 January 2012 20:39 (twelve years ago) link
This is one that I couldn't get with when it was released in the summer, and I resolved to give it a try in the winter, but when the winter came I just defaulted to actual Fever Ray instead. Not bad at all though

HOORAY for Austra! I love Katie Stelmanis' voice so much, and I feel like this album is appealing to a wider audience than her solo stuff (even though I like the solo stuff better tbh).
― La Lechera, Monday, 30 January 2012 20:43 (twelve years ago) link
Don't get the Austra love, I really really tried but it never clicked for me.
Would love to see Cosmic Dead place here!

I don't really dig the cold production so much as her warm voice.

the austra album is great! didn't know there was solo stuff out there, i'll have to dig around.

I don't understand what anyone sees in Drake at all, so boring and lifeless and whining. Just, so awful.
don't know why he's so glum having a chalice of mead in a hobbit bar

i understand ppl's qualms with drake the person... it was prob my favorite album of the year sonically speaking, and dude is a good writer, getting better as a rapper
just the best big, pure pop album of 2011
― J0rdan S., Monday, 30 January 2012 20:52 (twelve years ago) link
so contemptuous of drake and anyone who thinks that album is either emotionally moving or beautiful-sounding

this makes so little sense to me. ALBUM SOUNDS NOTHINGY.
I don't understand why people let their dislike of Drake as a person or a rapper affect their opinion of his music.

this is like people who find tree of life "beautiful". do they gaze enraptured at windows screensavers and stock photography too?
do people who listen to drake vibe out to lift muzak?

his rapping is on the music! i wouldn't dislike HIM if he didn't make the shitty music.

See, despite my misgivings I actually listened to Take Care in whole and am still pissed I wasted that much of my life. Its not his persona that bothers me, its how limp and lifeless the album was. A couple nice beats, but completely destroyed by his pissing and moaning.
― jon /via/ chi 2.0, Monday, 30 January 2012 20:54 (twelve years ago) link
Thora Vukk was in my top 10 list. Glad it made it. I have only heard 3 of the other ones so far. I suck at it but maybe I'll post a first impression on each one when the countdown for today is over.
― Moka, Monday, 30 January 2012 20:55 (twelve years ago) link
I dunno, the timbre of his voice is kind of dorky, but the rapping doesn't get in the way of the excellent production.
― jaymc, Monday, 30 January 2012 20:55 (twelve years ago) link
xp What's not to understand? The artist and the art are inextricably intertwined in a lot of ways. It would be nice to say that you could look at the work objectively without bringing in outside influences, but that's cutting off an entire aspect of the work.
― Gamera died for our sins (J3ff T.), Monday, 30 January 2012 20:55 (twelve years ago) link
limp and lifeless
otm. just INERT. this is not good sound design - the sonics don't go anywhere or do anything except be ~vaguely~ ~melancholy~
the album's most ear-catching beat is a jamie xx beat - and jamie xx himself was the most horribly overrated british electronic producer of 2011

even on the drake remixes i like, like the jojo one that showed up in the tracks poll, or the angel haze ones, even then the production isn't the attraction - it works as a background foil to a compelling persona or narrative, when it works, not as a thing that's remarkable in its own right

― lag∞n affiliated (The Reverend), Monday, 30 January 2012 21:00 (twelve years ago) link
I don't even love Take Care -- the previous album made more of an impression -- but I guess I always want to defend him because I like the production and mood of his records, and the complaints about his persona or his lyrical POV are irrelevant to how I listen to music.
