Brockhampton - Saturation II

Sooo I haven't heard III yet and I hear its better but it missed my cutoff.  This album is a nice collection of early 2000s dr dre type beats mixed with very current rapping styles.  There's like 200 rappers on this so you get a lot of different perspectives and viewpoints so it feels more like one of those "various artists" type albums.  I can't name a single bad song on this album, but i can name the songs that are the best quite easily.  I think what makes this album pop is the solid rapped hooks, they kinda remind me of some Good Kid Maad City songs.

Lydia Ainsworth - Darling of the Afterglow

 

Kate Bush Clone Clone 3.0 delivered a really interesting album with half of it pulling from her previous release and the other half pulling from so many different modern trends.  A couple of the songs even sound top 40 material (well, inspired by top 40 material).  It's fascinating trying to unravel her influences and she really took a lot of risks with this album that I really respect.  It has a great tracklisting too making it easy to listen to from start to finish.  Spinning, What Is It?, Ricochet, Wicked Game, and WLCM are my faves even though maybe most people like The Road and Afterglow the most.

Leikeli47 - Wash & Set

 

 

This is another album that pulls from like a million different influences.  It's a cluster**** and mish mash of styles but I really enjoy her dedication to artistry and such.  Plus her flow is pretty versatile so she's able to adapt really well.  Well you have more traditional new york sounding hip hop songs, you have your drag queen songs, you have your abstract hip hop numbers too.  There's a lot of good stuff on here, check out Money, M I L K, and Ho.

LCD Soundsystem - American Dream

 

LCD Soundsystem albums have always had those 2-3 confessional depressing songs along with the escapist songs.  Well, now I guess they're old farts and all the songs are about aging and being sad.  I think all the songs are good but all of them together make for their weakest album.  STILL, it's a good album with lots of good stuff going on.  Call the Police, Other Voices, and Tonite are my favorite.

Wednesday Campanella - SUPERMAN

 

 

I hate myself for putting this so low!  Every single song is a banger and also quirky and unique so it really has replay value, but I got really lazy and didn't listen to much so I can't really tout an album I don't have a huge relationship with as one of my ABSOLUTE FAVES.  You know?  Listen to it though guys!  If you can stand music in another language.  It's about 1/3 trendy enough to sound familiar but takes many turns in directions I had no idea were possible.  Not their best but maybe their best for people who haven't listened to them before.

Hundred Waters - Communicating

 

Somewhere, Imogen Heap and pre-2010 Sia are seething wishing they came up with this album.  It's whimsical and breathy and ethereal without being really pretentious or obnoxiously abstract.

 

[madonnas]

And that's it for today!  NEXT UPDATE there are multiple ATRelevantL artists.  Actually, I think more than half are and there are no nobodies anymore (well...jk). 

[Tsareena]

omg leikeli47 making your list  I really loved her album

[Ewan Chaos]

Your picks for Lydia were my exact same favorites!! Well I like Afterglow too. The Road is overrated imo.

 

Yeah the LCD record is good - and I agree not their best. Been seeing Brockhampton posted a lot... need to check him out!

[Tom Vercetti]

Someone recommended me that Wednesday Campanella album and I really enjoyed it. Especially Aladdin. 

I think it's a general consensus that Brock 2 > Brock 1.

Lydia didn't stick to me like I thought she would.

I don't think American Dream is LCD's weakest album but it's certainly no Sound Of Silver. 

[Red]

LCD record is okay, but it didn't wow me. "Call the Police" was the one song on the album that I kept coming back to. I also like some of the songs on SATURATION II, and, like you, I can easily point out the best songs, but the album as a whole never really piqued my interest.

Lydia is a cute gurl, I’ll give u that madonnas gurl.

[Dr. Shenanigans]

I tried to like that LCD Soundsystem album but couldn't get into it after many listens just doesn't have the excitement of their other work and tbh, it's actually kind of hard for me to get through the entire thing. Love Call the Police tho

[Unoriginal]

I was going to listen to American Dream but it seemed long so I never bothered  

[theblackestday]

American Dream  I liked Communicating but never revisited it sadly.

[bluth]

okay! <3

 

happy to see saturation and superman here! i think i started listening to the leikeli47 (was she on an alunageorge song or smthn???) but got distracted lol. the lcd album was just a wall of sound for me nn. 

[Vxspertine]

Saturation II 

[World Eater]

I HATED that Lydia record omg  It was like a worse and even more tryhard version of a BANKS album. I saw her supporting Perfume Genius and I literally wanted to die. She might have lipped too

Nice to see Communication getting some love

[Vilppu]

Wednesday Campanella's album was great but I didn't come back to it as often as I'd like to either.

 

LCD's was also good though I only started appreciating it when I separated it from their earlier material.
