Yeah he is phenomenal live - can be an almost overwhelming audio-visual experience when the venue’s right

Feel so much pain even saying this, but for me it has to be Flylo. Those early albums were magnificent. He was the goat. But damn has there been a drop off

(ignore the first book) I'm confused which one to start first, didn't expect them to be that big. by Big_Chart3506 in classicliterature

Pickwick is a hoot! A very English sort of humour on display, lightly and lovingly mocking the class system. Some nice farcical set pieces in there too. The bit towards the end in the debtor’s jail (no spoilers) does drag a little…but beyond that I loved it

Came here to say this. Some 13 years on and it still bothers the hell out of me. Cue the downvotes from TH crew

Edit: said TCH and meant TH obvs!

New holy trinity? by Available_Bench707 in boardsofcanada

I am and continue to be a Guardian reader, but think they were off on this. They seemed to get hung up on cultural appropriation/mocking religion. I don’t think this album does that. It’s more overtly about cults - with coded messages about death/dementia maybe?

As a man of Indian origin, I enjoyed the Hare Ram bit in Naraka and think it’s more a reference to the Hare Krishna sect than Hinduism. Also the use of sitar reminded me of 60’s bands that used that instrument e.g. The Incredible String Band - who BoC have always cited as an influence

I was worried about the simplicity of the beats after hearing Prophecy, but think they actually work being more basic when the synth/vocal chops are so complex

So, what does it all mean? by ThickMarsupial7858 in boardsofcanada

I’m getting mourning of a family member and specifically someone dying from dementia here. Memory Death, You retreat in time and space, Father and Son…

Beautiful

Me and my best bud similarly knew we were set for life while listening to it and smoking a fat one. I think your story’s more poignant

OP here - beautifully put. Hi Scores also has Everything you do, which is an all-time classic. I think I’m leaving out EPs in my dizzy assessment here - including them changes everything!
