based on that review, i guess it's comforting to know that your consciousness lasts beyond your final breath.

Some people believe that music isn't an art-form. It's worth noting that some people think astrology is a genuine way to judge someone, cancer can be cured by medium of Facebook likes and the phrase "It is what it is" is ever worth saying. People also say "there's no such word as can't" even though if you write 'can't' with the spell check on it will NOT be underlined in red. Basically people are fucking idiots. "Corps Exquis" is proof of this. This is art. Just read the promotional release for it. It states that it's a "multimedia chamber opera in nine consecutive parts" and that it is "Based on a surrealist parlor game from the 1920's". Even if it was just 45 minutes of a man saying "Where is the cheese, Father?" in a monotone voice it would still be art. The fact it often achieves the same sort of beauty and emotional connection that the best work of Steve Reich and Phillip Glass does makes it even more arty. You fucking DICKS.

Imagine recording a song denigrating no wave and new wave in New York and hair metal in Los Angeles (not that I care about the latter) and who knows what else, and celebrating the music of your youth instead - kids today! - but recording that song with terrible '80s keyboards and a shitty heartbeat sound effect. (Adding to it the implicit "working class city" bias of celebrating the music of Detroit and Cleveland in the early 1980s over the music being made in NYC or LA.) This is your lead-track, a shot across the bow to all these new styles of music that just aren't as good as the styles of music made when the guys in this band were young.Go fuck yourselves.
what a bizarrely uncharitable misreading of 'The Heart of Rock and Roll'. I guess it's possible to interpret "they like it with a lot of style" as withering sarcasm, but I really don't think that was Huey's intent here. I do like the image of Huey's LA and NYC audiences booing and bumrushing the stage whenever he tried to play the song in their cities

THE GREATEST ALBUM OF ALL TIME IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD!!! I'M NOT SELLING IT (NOT BIASED). HAUNTINGLY MELODIC. WEBER'S RUBBERY BASS IMPREGNATES NORMA WINSTONES SUPERFLOUS VOICE.

^some rymer dude wrote a 2,560-word review about how Mike Posner's 'I Took a Pill in Ibiza' falls short of its ambition because it lacks the pathos of Bowie and Queen and Joy Division (or something like that — nfw am I reading the entire thing)

If only someone could tell Mike Posner about this that he may see the error of his ways.

the underlying problem with Posner is still there: he has no star power whatsoever. He had none on Cooler On Me, and on here he has even less.
rymbro is actually arguing that 0 is less than 0

He forgot to mention that 'I Took a Pill in Ibiza' also falls short of Beethoven's Große Fuge as performed by the Arditti String Quartet.

some great rare music,but their vinyl comps are so badly remastered,1st point criminal multiple overdubs on every track,second point its pointlessly a carbon copy of the sonically inferior cd on vinyl,3rd point this is not how the musicians intended their music to be heard on vinyl,4th point digital compression robs us of a full sound spectrum so all original releases are sonically superior fact.5th point only analogue lps & 45s can tell musical history as it really was thats the reason why people choose vinyl.
