>>65062939
not even the best album of may
>>65062939
Agreed
>>65063104
How can anyone compete? Only thing that comes even close is Blackstar. Maybe the new Drones or PJ Harvey album too.
ehem
>>65063119
The only thing left is new Swans desu and we all know it'll be a ducking blowout anyway
They truly did it again boys
>>65063148
Glowing Man will inevitably be a disappointment. Good, but disappointing.
>>65062939
Anybody else put Spectre on the end as a bonus track?
Just too good of a song, would have been top 5 on the album had it been on there
>>65062939
I agree
>>65063228
spectre is amazing but if they put it on the album it would have been too inundated with ballads imo
>>65063228
I don't think I'd like it after True Love Waits, can't really top that ending
album's a real snoozer, and the exciting moments like in The Numbers are just cheese
leave aoty up to Miguel Gora
>>65062939
Have we forgotten Black Star already?
>>65063299
No I haven't at least
But this still tops it for me
>>65063285
i don't think it's boring but there's a real drop off in groove or energy after identikit and it never really picks back up (beside the numbers which i really don't like). why they put present tense, tinker tailor, and true love waits back to back to back i'll never know.
>>65063332
>why they put present tense, tinker tailor, and true love waits back to back to back
Because those are good songs that flow nicely into each other.
>>65062939
What are the chances that Lift and Cut A Hole will be the two bonus tracks in sept?
Fuck, we really need Lift. Jonny said they were reworking it, this isn't fair ;_;
>>65063366
I think from the pics on the website it looks like spectre and some track called "b ward" or something will be the bonus tracks
>>65063332
totally agree, getting through those last songs is a real slog. i do like the first parts of the album, with the exception of Desert Island Disk (least favorite song on the album by far)
>>65063357
it's just a bit too slow for me desu even though i like all those songs. though the new version of present tense is def more groovy than the acoustic one.
>>65063390
kek good one anon
>>65062939
yes
>>65063390
>poor man's velvet underground
but seriously I liked this one a lot and maybe more than AMSP
>>65063390
yep
>>65063478
>poor man's velvet underground
Yeah, I can see that comparison. Haven't really delved too deep into VU's dicsography, though.
Top 3 Radiohead album
I think it's nice but not mindblowing and agree with the post-Identikit lull (although I actually really like Desert Island Disk and that was one of the first to catch my attention)
I dunno, it's really well crafted and written so I'm not sure why I'm not feeling it. It could simply be that I'm just not in the mood for Radiohead just now. Many of the songs have lodged themselves in my brain and I'm sure I'll get the urge to listen to it one lonely evening. It's miles ahead of TKOL anyways.
>>65062973
>>65062939
not even the second-best album of May
>>65063520
More like a rich man's velvet underground

One can dream.

>>65063187
why the fuck do you think The Glowing Man will be a disappointment? everything we've heard so far has been amazing.
>>65063796
Because TBK wasn't nearly as good as The Seer
>>65063814
lmao TBK blows The Seer out of the water
The Seer is like a 6/10 and TBK is like a 9/10
Aoty
>>65063861
I'm not joking
Literally has one good song (Burn the Witch)
>>65063877
WHO LET THE PLEB OUT!
WHO! WHO! WHO! WHO!
>>65063861
desu senpai I think To Be Kind was more intriguing than The Seer, more engaging. The Seer, while great, seemed to falter a bit at the beginning of the second half.
>>65063877
>Daydreamers
>The Numbers
oh god Marcel's review of this is the most insane shit I've ever read
>>65063940
I cbf'ed reading it.
Was it positive or negative?
>>65063940
Marcel is a meme
>>65063986
He gave it 5/10 and said the album "embodies kitsch and banality."
Also for the entire review he never talked about the music at all and just went on a whole rant about literally nothing. Shocking.
>>65063925
>Oregontrumpvoter get out my state heathen
>>65064003
he tries so hard to be tmt
>>65064013
I forgot to take off my /pol/ trip, but yeah "Avatar" was probably the weakest point other than "93 Ave" on the Seer. On TBK, I couldn't really pinpoint a low-point and everything flowed better. Sorry I have a different opinion.
>>65064307
It's okay I'm just giving you a hard time.
Tbk low point is Nathalie Neal
obviously this one
