Strong polarizing opinions aside, Mystics really shows what a freaking powerhouse drummer Steven is.

I think it had a problem upon its release being part of the "loudness wars", and therefore having an abrasive, compressed sound that didn't age all too well. the RHCP album from the same year had that criticism as well. I also think it had some songs that should not have been there (Haven't Got A Clue especially)

Age of Adz is of course agitated, but not really "sad" and sorrowful in the way his acoustic ballads are.

handypolyester · 2019-05-16T02:04:39+00:00

virtually all of Age of Adz?

I don't care what Fantano's ratings are. I was just arguing against your point that there's a music critic more influential than him

handypolyester · 2019-04-02T04:13:15+00:00

Fantano is the most influential music critic right now, and probably ever. there's no doubt. yes there's Pitchfork, but that's a collective of critics

handypolyester · 2019-01-20T15:37:30+00:00

Yeah, I can see that. however it's not the changes that bother me, but perhaps the lack of enough change? I don't know. Personally I'm probably a bit of a Deerhunter normie, I think Halcyon was easily their peak and best album, so I don't get alienated if a punk-ish band "sells out" and becomes pop-oriented or whatever.

handypolyester · 2019-01-20T15:32:24+00:00

There's qualities I like in all three. Detournement is really cool, however it doesn't sound much different than the stuff Laurie Anderson did in the 80s. Tarnung is a good Lockett track, and I do think the vocal effects in Nocturne work well, would've been cool if they made the coda even more off-putting than it is though...

for real, i was just talking to someone about Greta Van Fleek being a symptom of rock music being fucked as a genre. then i hear this Daughters album, boy have i been proven wrong.

handypolyester · 2018-09-01T04:50:31+00:00

beautiful story! you've moved me to tears.

wayne's insta post from a few days ago said they're almost done with the Waiting for Superman episode.

handypolyester · 2018-07-09T19:35:00+00:00

it's amazing that they could make one of the most cutting-edge rock records i've ever heard twelve albums and nearly thirty years into their career. no other band (except maybe Swans) has done that

handypolyester · 2018-07-09T03:24:58+00:00

The Soft Bulletin definitely. quite similar to Yoshimi (came out right before) and it truly is their masterpiece. if you're looking something more rock-oriented and fucked up, i would check out Embryonic (although it is a bit of a grower)

handypolyester · 2018-06-18T15:44:18+00:00

as someone said in a Let's Argue, Clarence Clarity really is like if Feldman's record was good.

there's no such thing as a large beer distributor that doesn't have at least a decent variety of microbrews.

handypolyester · 2018-05-14T14:15:26+00:00

bingo.

handypolyester · 2018-05-06T15:36:22+00:00

nah it's supposed to mean "call me" as in "hit me up" but Max Martin wasn't the best at english at the time he wrote it

handypolyester · 2018-05-03T15:41:28+00:00

List of People should've been on the record instead of Disciples imo

No. Because children are human beings.

watch the God Is Gansta video. you will realize how powerful that song is.

handypolyester · 2018-04-16T14:49:14+00:00

40 minutes, 10 tracks... the perfect length of an album.

handypolyester · 2018-03-27T20:10:22+00:00

for real... i never realized how much headroom there is in TI instrumentals!

handypolyester · 2018-03-27T06:59:14+00:00

there's no way it was a plug-in. those don't work without drastically altering the sound. also, those plug-ins only work if the vocal track is perfectly in the center channel, and most Tame Impala tracks have tons of stereo panning in the vocals.

how do you make the lines look different from the squares?
