have been turned onto this
it is sounding quite something, on the third track and it's all segueing together wildly

'Borderline' worked its multi-tracked tragic magic on me but I'm not feeling the rest nearly as much, unsurprisingly.

i love an album that segues everything, and there's a lot going on tonally, texturally and melodically here. plenty to like imo. yeah it's not jetting off to space (not that it needs to) but i can't pin it down in a good way
― imago, Wednesday, 5 August 2020 22:16 (three years ago) link
the last minute of 'borderline' is absolutely delightful

Wish I could hear what you guys are hearing, I think this album is pretty unremarkable.

as brad (for it was they) sold it to me, it is quite prog. the rhythms and melodies are a bit...weird, or at least expansive - the harmonies def go hard on the maximalism too. lack of predictability. subtlety and flow. idk i dig it

it's very dawn richard. i'm pretty turned off by the use of r------- in 2020 though.

"Never Say Never" is better than both

All are great. But Full Moon probably the closest ancestor to B7.

will investigate ty

so i wanted to check out the new record, but have not heard anything since her second album. so, i'm playing catch up and, holy hell, full moon is setting the bar kind of high.

like i keep going into each track like, "okay, there's no way they can sustain this for another one" and i've been wrong so far.
about two thirds of the way through.
― Totally different head. Totally. (Austin), Monday, 10 August 2020 01:38 (three years ago) link
nope, was wrong: this album rules. jeez. looking back at my 2002 picks, it's just as good (if not better) than a good chunk of them.
(also, yuck i mostly liked boring indie rock in 2002)
― Totally different head. Totally. (Austin), Monday, 10 August 2020 02:05 (three years ago) link
four songs into the new record: okay, this is great.

"borderline"
O_O

that's a pretty high ranking for an album that came out a week ago!
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Thursday, 13 August 2020 15:03 (three years ago) link
all great ofc. normally i don't care about things aging well but '04-'06 timbo has not really aged well for me and it keeps afrodisiac from reaching me on the level it did at the time. still super consistent with good songs. human suffers only from being her most conventional record, still has plenty of jams, was surprised to see bruno mars and frank ocean in its credits. i *severely* underrated two eleven at the time, that album is awesome
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Thursday, 13 August 2020 15:03 (three years ago) link
xp i mean yes i agree and could be owed to some unconscious recency bias but it is kind of the brandy album i've always wanted and is currently my album of the year
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Thursday, 13 August 2020 15:11 (three years ago) link
it's good! i just need more time to process.
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Thursday, 13 August 2020 15:12 (three years ago) link
Other than that I haven't yet had a chance to reach a settled view on the new album, I agree with Brad's ranking, and in particular that Full Moon is better than Afrodisiac.
― Tim F, Thursday, 13 August 2020 23:01 (three years ago) link
i've just played 'rather be' about seven times in a row. glorious.
― Totally different head. Totally. (Austin), Saturday, 15 August 2020 20:25 (three years ago) link
this album has such a weird sense of groove its hard to wrap my head around so far
