You shut your mouth. Silent Alarm, Weekend in the City, and Intimacy were all fantastic albums. Four sucked though, yeah.

They really should've just broken up after the first album. yup, totally agree with this. I love Kele's voice and wish he had just gone on to have a solo career doing the electronic music stuff he clearly loves; how great would it have been if he had gone on to have starring features on, like, Disclosure records? I feel like there are a bunch of mid-2000s rock bands that had this problem, but they're by far the most extreme dropoff. Franz Ferdinand is the obvious other comparison but I actually really like some of their later stuff; honestly their only problem is when they try to go "back to basics." Their new album is shockingly good for like "band settling into middle age and getting a few dance-punk tricks that'll play well to festival crowds just there to see the hits."

Kind of a crosspost but I finally listened to Fickle Friends' new album and it's real good. Favorite album of the year so far. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zzJ96evIia8

Indulge me in some category geekery here — what is the common thread I'm picking up between bands like Fickle Friends... ...Pale Waves... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ot1j5M5PTC4 ...and MUNA? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lnps91BM-cs (ps. it doesn't illustrate my point, but I feel the need to mention that Tiësto's remix of "Winterbreak" is really good) Is it just female vocals and 80s-influenced production? Is this a movement? Is there a name for it? Is it just derivative? Who else is doing this?

Oh the new Jack White is so bad. When I first heard "over and over" on Sirius XMU I legit thought they were playing a Rage Against the Machine song.Stereogum posted:He is mad, for instance, about you kids with your phones: “Fools desire distraction / And not take to heart / Their faces to their gadgets fall south / Ignoring the beauty of a fog on a hill / And a kitten with a mouse in its mouth.” Stop ignoring the beauty of mouse death, fools!

Jack White's hip-hop credibility is a roller coaster. First a collaboration with Insane Clown Posse, then contributions to A Tribe Called Quest's last album, and now this. Also, "my hip-hop credibility is a roller coaster" could be one of his lyrics.

the rap is as bad as advertised. i’m a little shocked how rough the album is, though i haven’t followed him post white stripes very much so maybe the slide in quality is more understandable to people who have?

I haven't heard the new one yet, but his other two solo albums were like... This is fine, but I'm not sure I need any more Jack White in my life. And they kinda made me retroactively like The Dead Weather and even some White Stripes stuff less, which is a shame. He does a certain thing very well, but we're hitting the point of diminishing returns for sure.

Man, I was not a fan of the new Tune-Yards album. Having just seen them touring for it live tonight reminded me that Merrill can sell just about anything with her voice and stage presence, but still the juxtaposition of her older songs with the new stuff just threw the shittiness of the new stuff into sharp relief.

I haven't like his stuff over the past few years, but he's taking a hard stance on no phones at his shows which I support. If its not a super indie show with like 20 people, I have to stare at a wall of loving screens for far too long.

I just got back from seeing Porches at Elsewhere, all his stuff plays differnt live but in a good way, maybe one or two too many of the slower songs from the new album but overall a great show.
