I too enjoy craft beer, it's just laughable that Pitchfork told everyone the site wouldn't change with the Conde Naste takeover and now they have...
True p4k loved Passion Pit, that huge profile on Michael they ran was amazing. But hey the newer P4k with pointless videos and content sponsored...
Fair enough! And I like them too. I guess I was talking mainly about the festival-pop-indie crowd the review mentions (with disdain). Those people...
I don't love all his takes but yeah at least he gets it, for the most part. Let him explain the record's appeal in glowing terms and then have the...
It irritates me that a lot of the discourse around this record has been that it sounds like Passion Pit because honestly it really doesn't much at...
I knew when I said it sucked P4k had ignored this record that they would end up writing a shitty review and I'd regret ever saying anything. And...
All great suggestions. I normally make a year-end countdown and try to limit it to say 5 songs per artist, but this album is going to make that...
Still album of the year. Which song do we think is The One? I still change favourites every listen.
I like Connor's voice but I can see how it might be an acquired taste, just because it's pretty wild. It reminds me of my old car with bad...
It feels like a 'basic' take to say Bastardizer and Cold Blooded are among their very best songs, since they're the most traditional sounding...
I like Sleep with the Dead way more in the context of the album. Couldn't get into it as a single.
Kinda bums me that the album has been out a while now and no Stereogum story (even to say it's out). No Pitchfork review. As Ian Cohen pointed...
Bastardizer, Cold Blooded. Once an album they just let you know they could be an amazing straightforward (ish) alt-rock band. As in, the best one...
I can kinda see why people don't rate Lightning highly but I really like it. The melody of the verses is great and it has this kind of old Arcade...
I've listened to this enough to form an opinion finally: It is very good.
Great list. Just FYI Foreign Affairs is probably the worst Waits album, although Burma-Shave is a good song.
Very rewarding times ahead. My favourite pure songwriter, but certainly not for everyone. You could do worse than just starting with the first...
1. Ramones, Ramones. Great record front to back and about as influential as they come. 2. Tom Waits, Small Change. His quintessential early-phase...
Great write up. I like this album, don't love it. As someone who at the time was into Green Day, blink and Sum 41, I was blissfully unaware the...
That's awesome, I love all of Kanye's albums up to Ye but from that one I only really listen to Ghost Town and Yikes now. Agree Ghost Town is the...
Ye in the top 25 is the content I'm here for! Not that I agree or even really like that album but these lists are about what you like, and this is...
Blake was one of my favourite reviewers back in the day. And he actually introduced me to Butch Walker from memory with his review of I Liked It...
Also the S/T is way better than I was expecting. Probably their best closer aside from Never Feel Alone.
Thanks so much for introducing me to this band Craig. I have no idea how I missed them at the time. I got right into AP.net in 2005 and tried to...
I've had a few listens to this and like, don't love, it so far. I find myself drawn to the more sentimental moments. Back half of Wooden Soldiers...
