‘Ritchie Sacramento’ on the Mogwai album is what it would be nice if Coldplay sounded like.

Massive props to whoever mentioned the Ritmo Fantasia comp upthread, it's superb.

Hadn't heard Mogwai for 3 albums. The opening track sounds much like their good old selves. Comforting almost

this is fairly shockingly low
Sullivan's last two albums are among the best albums of the last 15 years -- Reality Show was and remains the best album of 2015 -- but the attachment to this one baffles me. I suspect she used the recorded chats with women to compensate for the lack of songs.

This Mogwai album is not bad but I feel like all of Mogwai should be sat in a room and forced to listen to Like Herod (Govt Sessions versh), Ex-Cowboy, 2 Rights Make 1 Wrong and Ratts Of The Capital back to back at maximum volume until they all agree to be scary again

I like Heaux Tales fine but totally expected it to be part of a bigger project. I know there's the "Deluxe" version coming out Friday, maybe that will make it feel more like a full album. Anyway, I think Reality Show gained stature over the past six years so people were primed to praise whatever she eventually released.

― imago, Wednesday, 9 February 2022 15:25 (two years ago) link
the best songs on heaux tales also existed as singles for months before the album came out, then not much on the album approached those two songs.
― roflrofl fight (voodoo chili), Wednesday, 9 February 2022 15:25 (two years ago) link
I feel the same as Alfred about Jazmine. It's really great to see her have such a good year with all the acclaim, but it's weird to see her get it for this album when she already put out three classics. I was expecting her to continue that winning streak based on Lost One and Pick Up Your Feelings. It wasn't just about there being too many interludes, I just found the other new songs fairly forgettable. She's capable of better. Hopefully people who have discovered her through this era will go back and check out Reality Show and Fearless.

Very nice album. Didn't vote for it or go back to it a lot, except for "In His Arms," but I love the vibe of it.

I read this as YES CAN RAP and thought it was Vietnamese progressive rock with alto tenor rap vocals.

This was top 5 for me (but I'm a Lambert super fan). Seemed like a mere curiosity when it first came out; a nice side project and an opportunity for Lambert to spotlight another duo of underappreciated songwriters.
But the more I listened to it the more I came to respect what they had achieved. Incredibly intimate recording that transports me each time I hear it to the Texas desert. On good speakers or headphones it really feels like you're fireside with friends. And as you mentioned, that was especially moving to me given the circumstances of the pandemic.

There are some great lyrics on The Marfa Tapes, too. Not what you might expect from an album fronted by a superstar.
e.g. "Anchor": When the moonlight hits the water/ The reflection hits your eyes/ I can't take it any longer/ And this rope is pulling tight/ Be my anchor, pull me under/ In this river here tonight/ 'Cause I can't breathe when I'm with you/ When I'm with you, I can fly
