For what it is, it's very good. It's one of my favorite releases of the year but it felt like more of a padded EP to me. They had already released Back Pocket and Christmas in LA in full, the opener being a medley and the closer being a brief summary of the Mushy Krongold album, and then Walkies being criminally short, it leaves you with like 6 solid songs.
That being said, all of those songs are fucking amazing. I especially love what they've done with Rango II. Smile Meditation and Conscious Club push fantastic "cool funk" new age r&b feeling that I've never heard Vulfpeck reach before. Game Winner and Back Pocket both show obvious classic r&b influence. Funky Duck really shows what was missing from this album, however. All of their previous EP's (maybe apart from Mit Peck) feel more improvised and dirty, which has been polished out in Thrill of the Arts. The songs feel less like jams and more studio recorded with parts and effects added in afterwards. Funky Duck really gives us that feeling, and it's only 2 minutes long.
I think it's a beautiful stepping stone for Vulfpeck, but I'm excited to see how they're going to change and evolve in the future. I also want to see how they're going to tackle Conscious Club'sv
>>60917454
fucking hell.
Conscious club's vocals. My overall thoughts are that it's a fantastic album, but not AOTY. I've been bumping it ever since release.
this.
>>60917277
shit taste anon
>>60917487
How? It's not bad, I actually did like it, but calling this the album of the year just makes you seem desperate to show you have good taste in music or something
>>60917525
whats your aoty
>>60917213
I actually have to second this
>>60917675
probably Starfire

>>60917803
well I have been a very big fan of Norway over the last year so I'm always happy to get more recs
instrumental aoty is lazy as fuck though but still I'm checking it out
your taste is objectively safe as shit
>>60917829
I still think I like their 2002 album more.
https://youtu.be/Qq8ncIfnVhw
It's more raw, perhaps less experimental, but it's just top notch nu-jazz.
>>60917905
and? this is about 2015
more proof you're fucking lazy
and picking a norwegian prog album thats not beardfish is literally fuckign sickening and more evidence that you just play it safe
and dont call me fuckign anon again. go to reddit if youre so obsessed with names
>>60917969
>nu jazz
>prog
>>60917971
yes that song I heard was nothing more than literally jazz+prog
>>60917975
>rockists
Summertime 06 by Vince Staples had the potential to be AOTY, had it been shorter (1 disc) and had a few of the songs from Hell Can Wait EP thrown in.
hi anons
>>60917213
yes. Yes. YES OP
>>60917969
For the last time, Beardfish is Swedish not Norwegian.
>>60918131
The only real logical and non-contrarian/edgy choice
Flawless album

>picking norwegian prog album thats not Leprous is literally fuckign sickening
Ftfy
>>60917969
Anekdoten is prog AOTY though
2016 Norway hype?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wqQn7SxPeTs
new album in February
So far it's Garden of Delete but Oblivion Access still might topple it.
Also, DALE is definitive summercore (memers can fuck off) and It Follows is the best movie OST.

>>60918382
It's impossible to say shit when you use tripcode.
>>60918382

>>60918445
Is disco funk the official style of 2015?
>>60918453
hell no
>>60918474
how hell no? there's been a shitload of albums this year and all good to great
so what is? if there is one.
>>60918532
there isn't.
>>60918541
well unless the last few years have also seen a shitload of disco funk albums and/or songs then I think it is for 2015
I havent heard that entire UMO album but what I heard sounded like disco funk
>>60917277
>1. Of Montreal - Aureate Gloom
how
it's one of the worst of montreal albums
>>60918532
> there's been a shitload of albums
Name a few m8, I'm interested
AOTY
l really really really like this album.
>>60917969
>nu jazz is prog
How does the fact it's norwegian even matters? And how am I the one playing it safe? You're the one with stuff like Kendrick and Montreal in your top albums.
>>60917531
its just please my hear, i really liek the diversity on this album between ambient and bigger dynamics.
>>60917743
fuck you.
>>60919668
lol
>>60919668
I always think is Kreayshawn from the thumbnail.
>>60917487

new single is promising tho
>>60923835
WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU
>>60923835
i hate this dude so much.
>>60917969
you are a really lovely person anon
>>60917487
i really disliked this desu senpai. really, really disliked it. so milquetoast
other than Kendrick Lamar's album this is my AOTY
>>60917213
Listening to this now, back pocket is so good damn
>>60917213
>AOTY 2015
>>60917213
One of the most underappreciated albums of the year
>>60918819
There are some highlights on this but yeah not their best.
I do think Lousy with Sylvianbriar is their best output to date, and this album has those musicians on there too so that's a plus
