ILM sure likes Track 3 on an album. I think there's been about four of those already.

wouldn't be an ilm 77 if the complaining didn't start immediately though
― american bradass (BradNelson), Monday, January 27, 2020 12:16 PM (three minutes ago)
yeah sorry about that, I just find 5/77 to constitute a failure of collective imagination not a sign of a good artist, but point taken that I should wait to complain until it actually happens :)

how many 1975 songs made it last year?

I listened to like 20 seconds of some Purple Mountains track and had the same reaction as emil.y, just not feeling it
― The Squalls Of Hate (sleeve), Monday, 27 January 2020 17:24 (four years ago) link
x-post: It was only two songs. Can't be more than three songs. Maybe it was four songs.

To be honest if ever there was a classic 'just vote for the album' pick it's PM.

I'm sure I've read some article about "perfect sequencing" where track three should be the real treasure of a record. Not sure I buy into that but I guess it could be working here...
― emil.y, Monday, 27 January 2020 17:26 (four years ago) link
really enjoyed finding this track through the campaign thread
― american bradass (BradNelson), Monday, 27 January 2020 17:27 (four years ago) link
not heard anything on the list so far. lots of firm ILM mainstays whom I've never bothered to check out before and I guess I really should..

It's hard to describe the visceral discomfort I feel whenever I listen to this kind of music but it never entirely goes away no matter how many times I try to overcome it. I can't imagine feeling the way this song feels and enjoying it.
Btw it's from 2018.

Sorry, I'm just Tuomas-ing in a different direction.

(album is from 2019 and is when the people here picked up on this song) xp
Gotcha.

Parola (Rework) is ill, it was my #4. always liked DD, ever since he released K.
― omar little, Monday, 27 January 2020 17:33 (four years ago) link
I too learned about this one in the campaign thread, and subsequently voted for it.
― Johnny Fever, Monday, 27 January 2020 17:33 (four years ago) link
Yeah I'm excited to hear Parola once the playlist is running and I've finished work!

voted for the album but i am def glad to see this
― american bradass (BradNelson), Monday, 27 January 2020 17:35 (four years ago) link
Voted the Jamila album high, but voted for zero tracks (sideways glance at the Purple Mountains voters).
― Johnny Fever, Monday, 27 January 2020 17:36 (four years ago) link
voted for the album but this ALMOST made my tracks ballot separately, AMAZING song
― bold caucasian eroticism (Simon H.), Monday, 27 January 2020 17:36 (four years ago) link
The album ended up right outside my ballot, so ended up voting for this, my favourite track, instead. Amazing.
― Frederik B, Monday, 27 January 2020 17:38 (four years ago) link
Decent album, good song.
― pomenitul, Monday, 27 January 2020 17:38 (four years ago) link
this album just kept blowing my mind more and more every time i revisited it, incredible songwriting and ocean-deep arrangements
― american bradass (BradNelson), Monday, 27 January 2020 17:39 (four years ago) link
I voted for Jamila. Excellent cut - and a substitute for the album in my case. Too many good albums last year.
― Jeff W, Monday, 27 January 2020 17:39 (four years ago) link
Saba's verse one of the most exhilarating minutes of music this year
― bold caucasian eroticism (Simon H.), Monday, 27 January 2020 17:39 (four years ago) link
didn't vote for any tracks, but the album was one of my very very favs of the year and this is a highlight among highlights.
― culture of mayordom (voodoo chili), Monday, 27 January 2020 17:40 (four years ago) link
and yes, saba is one of the five-ten best rappers doin' it right now.
― culture of mayordom (voodoo chili), Monday, 27 January 2020 17:41 (four years ago) link
I enjoyed it but found the overall songwriting a little too… self-consciously classy? 'ocean-deep arrangements' is otm though.
xps
― pomenitul, Monday, 27 January 2020 17:41 (four years ago) link
And Saba fucking rules, yeah.
are you mad? yes i'm mad
The drumming!
― Frederik B, Monday, 27 January 2020 17:42 (four years ago) link
I meant to check this album out but never got round to it, this is sounding pretty good so far, though I get what pom is saying about "self-consciously classy".
― emil.y, Monday, 27 January 2020 17:43 (four years ago) link
From my #1 album.
― TikTok to the (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Monday, 27 January 2020 17:43 (four years ago) link
at first the album sounds like a collection of amorphous jams, then it starts to gel; the arrangements are heady without losing sight of the goal. She's a good bandleader.
― TikTok to the (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Monday, 27 January 2020 17:44 (four years ago) link
first track I've heard before! in the voted-for-the-album camp but this is a good choice for an isolated track

Yeah, one thing about this (xp, still on 'Basquiat') is it sort of fades away into cool blandness but then another hook pops up and I'm back to being really engaged with it, it's an interesting trick.
