Real Name Grover posted:Can I bring up WHY? for a minute? I had pretty much the same reaction to Eskimo Snow and Mumps etc when they released. Big fan of Alopecia but those next two didn't really grab me. I don't know what changed but in the last year Mumps has really been growing on me. I loved 'Paper Hearts' 'Sod In The Seed' and 'Jonathon's Hope' almost immediately. A lot of the other songs pop into my head as well, and now I'm into all of them except 'Kevin's Cancer' and 'Strawberries'. I've got zero urge to listen to Eskimo Snow though. Even with the whole thing of it being songs from Alopecia sessions, they're just so samey and have all of the bite and good flow/lyrics taken out of them. Mumps etc felt like a midpoint between the two and was just the right balance for me to still like it. Shout out to the Sod In The Seed EP from the same time as well, Shag Carpet is great and I won't hear otherwise. Toast King fucked around with this message at 01:23 on Feb 19, 2017 |

Rageaholic posted:Confession time: I've really been coming around on the new Modest Mouse. I still think it's their weakest album, but I feel compelled to keep listening to it. I'm feeling the same and am really enjoying about two thirds of the songs on the album. I've also gone back to listen to Good News over the last few days, turns out I love the entire thing now. I never gave it much attention back in the day, partly due to dumb teen logic of 'oh no this is the popular album with the big hit song'. Looking back after another 3 albums have come out since then, I appreciate it a lot more. I love the banjo in a lot of the songs, Satin in a Coffin and Bury Me With It are big hits for me but I don't dislike a single song. I think Lonesome Crowded West is still near the top for me because of when I listened to it, but this is definitely up there. Toast King fucked around with this message at 06:33 on Jul 28, 2021 |

I still can't believe how good Treats is after all this time. I've enjoyed a few songs across some of the albums since then, but this one is still just right from start to finish.

Time for Spoon's new album Lucifer on the Sofa today, I'm loving everything I've heard so far but need to give it a full listen through later on. They're continuing the trend of great opening tracks with a Bill Callahan cover this time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E02Afe_G8G4

The Panda Bear and Sonic Boom album is out today and I'm liking it a lot, it's got a nice laid back stretch of songs in the middle. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9eEc_XRBGOU

Any recommendations on where to start with The War On Drugs? They're coming here with Spoon as a supporting act in December. I'm a huge Spoon fan and tossing up whether it's worth going along to see them and just never gave The War On Drugs a proper listen. Guess I've got a few months to change that though!

the unabonger posted:Underscores has a new album out called Wallsocket and it's pretty good! Definitely has that underscores sound (the particular sound of voice modulation underscores uses is so distinctive and lovely), but goes in a more indie direction than pop, continuing the trend between fishmonger and fearmonger. I knew nothing about this band before the last couple of days but man I'm loving this album a whole lot. Just incredible all around, Locals (Girls like us) was an easy early favourite for me.
