Bjork

my goddess

ZephyrFate · « **Reply #3841 on:** November 16, 2011, 10:27:16 PM »

I don't think there will ever be an artist like Bjork ever again in the history of music. It's too bad that her recent album Biophilia bombed.

Is it good? I have it but haven't listened

Homogenic is one of those albums that describes parts of my life/feelings. Major nostalgia blasts whenever I listen to it

ZephyrFate · « **Reply #3843 on:** November 16, 2011, 11:43:50 PM »

I think it's pretty fantastic. It's a much more ethereal, calmer album than Bjork usually does. I like to call it an album that describes the universe, it's that kind of... celestial.

Gretchen Parlato on vocals

Taylor Eigsti on piano

God I love these two so much. My favorite modern jazz artists besides Esperanza Spalding.

I've just been really into Electric Wizard lately. The instrumentation is excellent and I really like the vocals and how eerie and ghostlike they are most of the time.

Stoner/Doom metal is like my new favorite genre.

i love EW. like, a lot

have you checked out Witchcraft?

I'm going to predict BrandNew will like Take Care

TakingBackSunday · « **Reply #3848 on:** November 18, 2011, 07:57:02 PM »

This album is awful so far. Only song that pops out is the one that's actually the Weeknd song. Drake is just a weak-sauce Weeknd and Kanye mish mash. This shit is terrible.

Yea, I don't The Weeknd has released anything this year that I didn't like.

Same. We were bouncing to that shit during 4th of July, and I think he's going to be an even BETTER listen over the holidays.

The Weeknd is some smooth motherfucking contemp R&B. Be ready.

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #3854 on:** November 18, 2011, 08:25:26 PM »

The Weeknd...just a smooth ass ride through excess and degeneration lol. House Of Ballons is still my aoty, and Thursday is amazing as well.

some people are turned off by the "whiny" vocals though

TakingBackSunday · « **Reply #3855 on:** November 18, 2011, 08:26:18 PM »

House of Balloons is really something, but I think it's fairly frontloaded. But yeah, it trounces so much this year.

Still waiting for the Roots album to come out, after that I'll be able to put together my aoty list yo

What are some good The Brilliant Green/Tommy Heavenly/February songs/albums? I like her Gundam and Paradise Kiss singles and b-sides but never given an album of hers proper listening.

its pretty bad yes

Robo · « **Reply #3863 on:** November 18, 2011, 10:25:27 PM »

Thank Me Later was terrible. With that said, Take Care is a lot better than I expected. The singles are enjoyable enough: Headlines is inoffensive radio fodder and I love Nicki Minaj on Umso Umso Umso Umso; even if the rest of the song is awful, that's enough to warrant its existence. Crew Love is really good, but that shouldn't surprise anyone, and I like some of the downtempo tracks with the sparser arrangements, like Shot for Me, Marvins Room and Look What You've Done, going back to the better songs on So Far Gone.

Either way, why anyone would give more than a listen or two when we just got more Action Bronson?

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #3864 on:** November 18, 2011, 10:34:30 PM »

Well Done is great. First couple tracks were kinda eh, but after that it's fire. Plus, two awesome appearances from Meyhem Lauren

Take Care is alright, but often boring. I like Look What You've Done as well. Still bummed Drake bought that Lord Knows beat. He has NO mic presence on that, it's sad. Give that shit to Rick Ross or someone, jeez

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #3865 on:** November 18, 2011, 10:59:23 PM »

Your whore told me your putz is soft
Plus she caught you in the basement with a cheeseburger gettin sucked off
Where's your morals, your genitals are floral
You like it in the back just like a fucking epidural

ZephyrFate · « **Reply #3866 on:** November 18, 2011, 11:26:37 PM »

I don't think so, but he's pretty

something I think most rappers/hip hop artists lack, for some reason. Kanye has a bizarre chin, and everyone else looks... odd or strange.

So is Drake like... good? I had this impression that he was terrible, like Ja Rule or something.

He's alright. The fact that he can rap competently makes people overrate him, as his mainstream competition is so bad. Same with Lil Wayne imo; if you only listen to radio stuff, Wanye becomes a godsend.

Take Care is quite average. I guess my problem is with Drake's insistent attempt to display his vulnerability by essentially crying over not being able to date strippers.

Trent Dole · « **Reply #3870 on:** November 20, 2011, 12:24:19 AM »

The Drake album sounds like it could just as easily be a Lil Wayne album to me...

The bar is just set that low.

I admit that some of his feature work is nice but his solo stuff falls flat more often than not.

Oh my God. Probably one of the best fucking instrumental tracks I've EVER heard. That beat is fucking genius the way it kicks around and plays with the secondary rhythm.
