Great cover of a cult song

 

If you like power-ballads like Nothing else matters or Don't cry this one is great :

 

Tony Thaxton from Motion City Soundtrack does this podcast called Bizarre Albums where he finds and talks about these crazy albums that exist from famous celebrities, actors, musicians, politians, etc and it's really great. Sometimes you get gems like this:

 

What the fuck is slowcore? I know it’s a genre. I’ve seen it mentioned so many times and am tired of not knowing what it is. What are it’s defining traits? What are some of the genre’s essential bands/albums/songs?

 

Low
Codeine
Red House Painters

 

slow

No shade to Max Bemis, but it seems like Torq's the kind of guy who would follow through on it?

 

is this the thread to ask most disappointing albums of 2021?

 

gojira, kacey and sam fender, for me

 

we talked about it in this thread:

https://forum.chorus.fm/threads/chorus-fm-members-eoty-lists-2021.60227

but for me it was Bleachers, Kacey, billie, St Vincent, Jade Bird and Wet

 

I only heard the Kacey album once but I really admired it. Need to go back I think its my speed.

 

Foxing and Thrice

 

Clairo?

 

Because definitely the Clairo album for me

 

I didn't really care for her first album much, so the new one wasn't a big dissapointment. Either way, I didn't care for it

 

Idk if this is a disappointment because I wasn't like highly anticipating it but the Turnstile album. I listened to it once and wasn't really into it. One of those albums where everyone loves it and you're just like "What am I missing here?". I need to listen again, maybe I'll have a different opinion a second time.

 

TWIABP didn’t do much for me at all. Never really returned to it

 

Worst party ever. Loved the last ep. Hated the new album.

 

all three of the last albums posted in here are great

 

Listen again, loudly, paying attention to the details... Its my favorite of the year

 

I like this one

 

I’ll have to give it another listen

 

last TWIABP album is the only one that really does anything for me. I dont do their scene but I was surprised that the latest one sorta switched genres.

 

Snail Mail was most disappointing for me. It’s really solid but I liked Lush a lot better.

I’d say Bleachers but at the end of the day just like the last one and kind of even strange desire it’s an album that’s mostly good all the way through but doesn’t quite live up to its highlights as a whole. I had higher hopes but it’s probably in line with what my expectations should have been.

 

Not disappointing, the opposite actually - a great early 2022 release is the new record by The Wombats. Had never listened to them before, so I will have to correct that and check out their discography. Sad to not see a thread about the new album. “Worry” is a great song that would be on an end of year best songs list if I made such a thing.
