Bad opinions • Page 263

you never told me that was the case with that album, if you had i would have backed off. you know what i went through. you know i tried killing myself and im lucky to be alive and i attribute it to this album. you still shit on them any time you get the chance.

 

Errrr...

 

and ive explained myself further but thanks george fucking thanks

 

thread is massively triggering for me right now so ill just dip and pray i dont relapse

 

A little bit, between the singles and not liking their SNL performance AT ALL, I figured the S/T was probably more my style, but I'll probably give the new one one more try at some point.

 

Yeah I've seen this sentiment before, certainly open to giving the new one a try

 

The new one is fairly eclectic, so there's probably something you can find to like there. I still can't get into the self-titled even though I really enjoyed "Chocolate" when it was released as a single, but the album has never done anything for me. The new one though will most likely be in my top 10 (possibly even top 5) for the year.

 

I definitely think the highs on Acid Rap are higher, but I think the lows are also a bit lower. Both fantastic tapes though.

 

I think the album truly improves on everything they did well on the S/T and then pushes their sound in new directions, some of which can be attributed to the EPs they've done. I find it to be a fascinating listen every single time I put it on: the lyrical content, the melodies, the musicianship, the layers of sounds and production on the album...it makes for a really rich listen to me.

Part of it too is the personal connection I have with the band and this album in particular. I've been a fan of them since 2013 and the S/T has remained in my listening habits since its release, but it wasn't until around this time last year when I began to fall in love with and take comfort in this band. During a period of my life where I struggled with depression and anxiety, and began telling myself that I wanted to die until I started to believe it (all of which I still struggle with to this day), I was lucky enough to see this band for my first time ever on pretty short notice and I was absolutely captivated by their liver performance that I just couldn't wait for the new album to come out. Now that it has, it has gone far beyond all the high expectations I had for it and has remained in constant rotation since February. This band, and this album in particular, have been a bright light in a very dark time for me. I can't stop recommending this band to others enough and, every time I do, it feels like I'm sharing a piece of myself with others as well.

I don't know what else there is to say about this album, or band, or conversation, but I hope that some of the things I shared, and especially the things that Jake shared, get people to reconsider this band.

 

Gonna change the topic because expressing an unpopular opinion about that band seems pretty off limits now, suggest everyone back off rather than making ppl uncomfortable

That being said, I think that new Radiohead album is so boring I don't get it, I keep trying

 

agree with the first half and strong disagree with everything that came after

"true love waits" recorded cmon man

 

I like a lot of things about the new Radiohead album but as a whole it's pretty disappointing to me. Definitely my least favourite of theirs I've heard.

 

I am so salty that a HQ download of Coloring Book hasn't been made available, free download or purchase or otherwise

 

Hey bruh it was a "free release"....once you sign up for a paid streaming service

 

I just started listening to Radiohead this year, but I love AMSP

 

I do not care for Radiohead.

 

they insist upon themselves

 

whats the quality on this? Chance The Rapper - Coloring Book

 

I hate midnight releases cause I want to listen to the new release but I also want to sleep.

 

i remember staying up super late when beyonce dropped s/t i had an exam the next morning got an a on it s/o queen bey

 

Musical theatre is fucking awesome.

 

I do not know. Assume it's fine though

 

Pretty sure this is what I have, which sounds like a stream rip lol

 

Definitely did this too before a 10 hour work day

Was about to fall asleep and thought "Maybe I'll check twitter for a second" and my entire next day was simultaneously blessed and ruined

 

Haven't listened to AMSP in a shile, but I always thought it was pretty great. True Love Waits is amazing
