The Gradual is just as good but bcz its near silent no one will believe that.

o my, well i shall check both out. they will make for a fine palate-cleanser after this albumzpoll is done. lorde isn't too awful (dan otm, 'buzzcut season' the highlight) but i'm done with it
― i assume "Little Joey" (imago), Monday, 27 January 2014 21:58 (ten years ago) link
well, the gradual takes a while to build ... it's, you know, gradual

And the mass is just...mass.
Yeah I get that.
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 27 January 2014 22:05 (ten years ago) link
haha, that was just me being entertained that the titles are descriptive of the music
― ^ enlightening post (sarahell), Monday, 27 January 2014 22:06 (ten years ago) link
it's not JUST mass, it very clearly intensifies over its running-length, achieves nirvana abt 21 mins in

still listening to lorde, call it inertia, call it the album not being *too* bad rly
Heart Of The Congos has this eerie old testament quality where at times it sounds like sacred hymns from ancient times or something. There were a lot of essential re-issues like this on the Blood and Fire label in the 90's, this was probably the best one.

srsly I will honestly by blood and fire and everything else that's holy listen to all this stuff. right now it's Thee Oh Sees, but it won't be for long (zing!)

the sort of frantic faux-punk that's nervously checking to see if its drainpipes are tight enough. ban
ohhh they got lucky. was about to kill it and track 2 began, which was a gr8 improvement
― i assume "Little Joey" (imago), Monday, 27 January 2014 22:31 (ten years ago) link
I'm not generally a fan of garage rock, but Oh Sees is a really solid band and I end up liking everything they do.
― ^ enlightening post (sarahell), Monday, 27 January 2014 22:34 (ten years ago) link
track 4 best yet
hmm, no clunkers so far in albumzpoll
― i assume "Little Joey" (imago), Monday, 27 January 2014 22:40 (ten years ago) link
yeah not bad, but next

so your boring appraisal might be closer to the truth
i like it a bunch but i am a mellow person
well, worth it for that one song tbh
― i assume "Little Joey" (imago), Monday, 27 January 2014 22:46 (ten years ago) link
follakzoid are nay bad but k3rr how the flaming fuck did u allow this in the metal poll :D
― i assume "Little Joey" (imago), Monday, 27 January 2014 22:50 (ten years ago) link
he allowed Melt Banana in the metal poll, which to me is o_O
― ^ enlightening post (sarahell), Monday, 27 January 2014 22:51 (ten years ago) link
M-B feature extremely loud guitars, noize, yelped vox...it fits
this just isn't metal in any way at all, my god! but it's not bad for a completely derivative krautabout
― i assume "Little Joey" (imago), Monday, 27 January 2014 22:53 (ten years ago) link
So we can vote for punk bands in metal polls now?
― ^ enlightening post (sarahell), Monday, 27 January 2014 22:56 (ten years ago) link
fair call tbh
bit bored of follakzoid - strikes me as excellent background music but doesn't reward intense listening too well for me
― i assume "Little Joey" (imago), Monday, 27 January 2014 23:04 (ten years ago) link
like, circle do this stuff wayyy better
Kelela - some v interesting production on this! She's not a v engaging presence at all tho. Listening for the beats, everything else just kinda washes over me
― i assume "Little Joey" (imago), Monday, 27 January 2014 23:10 (ten years ago) link
Fun fact: the building on the cover of Physical Graffiti is also featured in this classic video.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MKLVmBOOqVU

permaban
― i assume "Little Joey" (imago), Monday, 27 January 2014 23:17 (ten years ago) link
oh this music makes me ill
― i assume "Little Joey" (imago), Monday, 27 January 2014 23:19 (ten years ago) link
y'know that when something is permabanned, you stop listening to it, right?
― ^ enlightening post (sarahell), Monday, 27 January 2014 23:20 (ten years ago) link
i just had to make sure
― i assume "Little Joey" (imago), Monday, 27 January 2014 23:21 (ten years ago) link

― ^ enlightening post (sarahell), Monday, 27 January 2014 23:21 (ten years ago) link
or yellow carded it
― ^ enlightening post (sarahell), Monday, 27 January 2014 23:22 (ten years ago) link
unless cut copy created a sock account and snuck into your ears pretending to be a new band?
― ^ enlightening post (sarahell), Monday, 27 January 2014 23:23 (ten years ago) link
f(x) give me the idea of bandname mashup f(n+x) and tbh i think that this would also sound kinda rad :D
obviously the music is much better than bloody cut copy (who are *now* permabanned), gonna give this a good few trax
i'd know cut copy in a millisecond. actually no i wdnt, so much 80's-actin' bilge out there. shit.
― i assume "Little Joey" (imago), Monday, 27 January 2014 23:23 (ten years ago) link
f(x) are p good fun i gotta concede, and the music's well put-together, got a bit of depth n craft, not all major-key harmonisin'
― i assume "Little Joey" (imago), Monday, 27 January 2014 23:26 (ten years ago) link
somewhere, somehow, frank k0gan is otm abt this lot

hmm idk actually. there's something brilliant about this. everything i'm reading about danny brown persuades me i'd go apeshit over the previous album
― i assume "Little Joey" (imago), Tuesday, 28 January 2014 00:16 (ten years ago) link
You might.
― Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 28 January 2014 00:18 (ten years ago) link
actually am rly rly rly getting to enjoy this
― i assume "Little Joey" (imago), Tuesday, 28 January 2014 00:19 (ten years ago) link
"Adderall Admiral" builds an entire track off of different segments of This Heat's "Horizontal Hold," with a Hawkwind sample thrown in for good measure.
i am listening the shit out of this album @ some pt
― i assume "Little Joey" (imago), Tuesday, 28 January 2014 00:24 (ten years ago) link
rme at "pop-rap ilxfodder" but you might enjoy the source of the 'Torture' beat's amazing sample:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FxfBg_m4-2o
― festival culture (Jordan), Tuesday, 28 January 2014 00:31 (ten years ago) link
ooh ty, think Torture was where the album went into overdrive
this is brilliant, yeah completely sold on D Brown, wda made my ballot easily (lol I haven't reached the 'pop' 2ndhalf yet tho lol)
