SLIME Posted December 13, 2017 Author Share Posted December 13, 2017 satisfied with making do should we pull the parachute? i will land on my feet but i probably won’t leave the house for a while and it feels like forever since you held me like i was a human being and i am a human being 46. Alvvays - Antisocialites I can't really tell if this band's audience consists more of people who've already gone through their first shoegazy jangle pop phase or those just getting into it for the first time? Because let's be real they don't seem super intent on doing anything new, but I'm not hating cuz I love the jangle sound and I love when they slow it down to something dreamier too. Actually the whole album is hella dreamy, one of the best I heard all year for just getting lost in, but still paced a little better than their debut so that I rarely found myself getting lost unintentionally. Bb am not alvvways there when u call but am alvvways on time uh uh uhhh top peeps: Plimsoil Punks, Lollipop (Ode to Jim) Spoiler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vilppu Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 I don't think I've ever got through more than half of FJM's album and I loved Honeybear a lot too Antisocialites was nice and I think this Paramore is a lot more bearable than what they used to be.

World Eater Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Finally someone who likes Sheer Mag I think I prefer the compilation of their EPs over the album, but NTFYL is still great. They played one of my fav gigs of the year, too, but I may be a bit biased because it was shortly after they released the alberm and Tina kept the eye contact with me for literally over half of the show and I loved every second of that Ngl, Pure Comedy made me a FJM hater but it had some solid stuff, like Two Wildly Different Perspectives or the title track. Also, The Haxan Cloak's remix of Things It Would Have Been Helpful to Know Before the Revolution is pretty great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Playa Playa Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Been through my shoegazy jangle pop phase and I still love Alvvays! They just do it good + better than all their contemporaries who aren't as original either imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRF. Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Father John Misty sucks imo, but at least you fixed it by putting Alvvays and Paramore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eeveelution Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Quote Yes this is a slog to get through in one sitting Absolutely, and there's no real highlights for me to justify returning to it much, I LOVED ILYH too, so I was really disappointed. Alvvays delivered though, I thought it was a real step-up from their debut. They know exactly what they're doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheWayWeWere Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 After Laughter probably my favorite album by them, along with self-titled , I was very afraid about genre-change at first, but I think they did it very well in the end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedro Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 I didn't listen to Paramore's album yet it was on my to do list. Given the fact that it ranks so low in your chart, I may have done good not giving it a listen! :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean yall ain't wrong but that's why he's #49 I do hope that was all he needed to get out of his system and he goes back into banger mode sooner rather than later, not sure I could take another one like this. 23 hours ago, AlexisNeiers said: Finally someone who likes Sheer Mag I think I prefer the compilation of their EPs over the album, but NTFYL is still great.

SLIME Posted December 14, 2017 Author Share Posted December 14, 2017 bright lights overhead always all times the white noise never ends oh now, all times 45. The Horrors - V First time I listened to this I was picking up a lot of fuzz and not much else, but after that it didn't take long at all for the muscle propping the songs up to start revealing itself. There's a good bit of diversity in term of instruments etc so it's really not samey at all. I know they started off doing more of a post-punk thing, but the psychadelix shoegazey vibe works great for them IMO; from what of theirs I know (not much so far tbh) their evolution has been impressive and unexpected! That opener giving very strong Army of Me vibes by the way and the low key Art Angels homage on the cover. I can't! top peeps: Hologram, Something to Remember Me By Spoiler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Vercetti Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 Alvvays's 2nd album lowkey blew them up huh. But yeah, a cute album. I'd said V is Horror's 2nd best album, right after Primary Colours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLIME Posted December 14, 2017 Author Share Posted December 14, 2017 i've been shot just because my heart i've lost the times i've been bought and sold i've been the victim of golden eyes i've seen the dead walk among the living in division, what's stripped away is made the same on the other side 44. Algiers - The Underside of Power I basically had to listen to this out of curiosity about the "gospel rock" sound and it didn't disappoint. It turned out to be 1) something that works organically being more than a gimmick, and 2) a pretty perfect fit for the Trump etc.-fueled rage that makes up a lot of the subject matter. I wouldn't describe it as primarily ~political music per se but the sense of very justified anger that runs all through made it a very relevant statement on the overall ****ed up state of the world and the hopelessness that can obviously accompany that. top peeps: The Underside of Power, Walk Like a Panther Spoiler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLIME Posted December 14, 2017 Author Share Posted December 14, 2017 it’s the evoking trust holding this frame of rust, i had to let go to let this place combust you must refrain from lust dismantle the throne 43. King Krule - The OOZ No lie this is a tough-ish one to get through as well, but couple things p4k's new favorite white boy does differently than say FJM: FIRST, include singles that bang hard enough to balance out the album tracks + SECOND, make sure all that album time goes into building a world that's worth getting lost in. 'Ooz' is right because this is some straight slimy, dingy, low life, hella British drunken pub'd out tomfoolery, and he plays this pitiful character up to the max for over an hour without ever sacrificing too much momentum. His imagery is really evocative and captures the feel of a sad night out perfectly, something most of us can relate to even if the details don't all match up. Definitely not something I can just throw on whenever, but personally worth the investment for sure. top peeps: Half Man Half Shark, Czech One Spoiler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluth Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 the horror's album was a nice discovery 4 me. it had some pop accessible moments imo too e..g in the world below which was a nice surprise i only heard of king krule from appearing on mount kimbie's stuff and i cba'd to listen through the whole album so eye shall just give ur highlights a go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theblackestday Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 Hologram is a bop, but Army of Me, sweetie... Quote Art Angels homage on the cover I was thinking of it (and the singles covers) as more of a rip off from Jesse Kanda's work but you make a good point The Underside of Power is really good, especially the more industrial cuts King Krule's album is okay I guess. I agree with the highlight choices Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
