in his best songs j richman is both scribbling "fuck you" and crossing it out at the same time which makes his music more interesting than either of those books

I don't know how I didn't realize that John Cale wasn't the writer of that song until just now; I thought the ML covered it. Oops.

Hospital was my favorite ML song for awhile.

I think I can get behind that. I don't really love Abbey Road outside of a few songs. There's a pleasant simplicity to the tunes on Let It Be that I enjoy much more.

David Bowie's cover of God Only Knows on Tonight is pretty good and much better than the Beach Boys' original.

this but replace 5.0 w 0.5

An album full of really great standard length songs is so much more boring than an album jammed with weird shorter filler (and one minimal 10min+) and just 3 or 4 stand outs.
Probably not controversial around here
― Evan, Thursday, 20 September 2018 19:06 (five years ago) link
xpit's hard to explain.
Having tons of terrible ratings is a whole different ballpark animal. I don't understand how anyone would want to invest their time into reviewing bad music

I find washed down pseudo funk bands from the 90’s like say Jamiroquai or Fun Lovin Criminals to be laidback and cool and think they have aged better than most rock music from the decade.

Drukqs is a well-sequenced album. I like how the ultra-dense, aggressive d'n'b tracks alternate with brief ambient interludes, little odds & ends, prepared disklavier tracks, etc. It makes for a less exhausting listen, with moments of relief and odd beauty/humor.
