Haze Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 (edited) I've gone through it once, and I'm floored. It feels like a paradigm shifting album from an uncompromising artist. It's his Homogenic. I've adored all of Red's projects before this, but they all felt indebted to other works and artists (as is the case for 99% of music, and is not a bad thing), but this feels completely singular. Something only he, with his story and sense of melody, could create. He should be so proud. The lyrics are also brilliant throughout, so terribly sad at times, but full of desire and life.

Pink Matter Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 I'm pretty excited to listen to this. All of the singles were good! Gonna have to take extra time to listen to all of 3 sides in full. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archetype Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 This is like a magnum opus within a magnum opus within a magnum opus. AOTY by far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tillz Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 Yeah I think this might be his best body of work, but I'm gonna need more time with it because it's so damn long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kern Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 I think it’s growing on me. Also I think I clicked something on Tidal accidentally and the album just disappeared? Like once the queue will end Im not sure if I will be able to go back to this album So I try to cherish listening while it lasts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chemist Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 So i saw him live at Primavera Sound and he was so good. Maybe too good for a festival (in a festival you just eant to listen the greatest hits) but his perfoming skills are truly out of this world. He deserves to be really big Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pendulum Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 I'm on the first part so far and it's alright? I don't know what y'all are raving about but I have high expectations for the remainder and I'm ready do be floored, hopefully Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Luke Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 This album is like a weird blend between Bedtime Stories, ye (the album) and a little Björk. Really well executed and ambitious albeit pretty bloated. 070 Shake‘s sound is also very prominent, mainly on CD 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATRL Moderator Unoriginal Posted June 10, 2023 ATRL Moderator Share Posted June 10, 2023 tbh this is super overwhelming. i respect it majorly because it's evident he didn't compromise on his vision at all, but that does by design make it a lot.

Kanye is definitely an influence, but it’s worth noting that Kanye was very inspired by Rick Rubin, who produced this album. Classic rock and 90’a grunge-pop are also huge influences. I can hear Björk is some songs as well as Portishead, MJ, Madonna, Zero 7 (with Sia), Moby, etc. It’s a lot to digest at once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lil Mxnster Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 Oh, guys. I think he did... He did AOTY! This is how immaterial and no-binary contemporary music sounds like: soft electro-R&B, 90s rockish/grunge and classic/orchestral beats. It almost sounds like a spiritual madness masterpiece, depending on the album side He risked and he won, that's it Score: 7,2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delirious Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 This album surpassed all my expectations. It's super atmospheric, lush, melodic & warm. I haven't felt this way for an album since like Nicole dollanganger's album in early 2023. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ariesgroove Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 the production on this record is insane, it’s definitely a heavy listen but i will return to this again in the future! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
