this album earns its grand presentation for sureee— the songs are just so good and somehow they all feel connected even as they pull from such disparate influences. janelle monae’s singular presence acts as the uniting force between these separate ideas,, like genuinely i don’t think anyone else could pull this album off. and also she’s a robot which is sooo awesome

first bowie album lol and this is certainly not for me! didn’t dislike anything to be clear, just also not something i would return to… i should prob check out his other stuff that i know would be more my speed than this standout— young americans

this was really cool actually!! way more varied and my speed than i thought— would def return to it. love the jazz and funk elements… standout- flute loop

so so lovely and warm, a perfect morning album for sure. thank you for the hug, cat stevens. standout- where do the children play?

headbobbing-est album of all time?? really loved the pocket of this one and wow lauryn hill is so good. excited to get around to her album! standout- zealots

wow! my heart is full! just songs that make you feel good, hit you right where they need to. obviously not similar to what i'd normally listen to but how could i not love this?? the flow of the album is great too, not a wasted moment. his little interjections and audience interactions are so charming. i'm charmed! standout- bring it on home to me

loll

i think i’m bad at jazz 😖 standout- pannonica

kind of annoying sorry!

do prefer the quirky upbeat first half but really really enjoy everything here and i do think it’ll grow on me further standout- once in a lifetime 😝

first album that's come up that i've heard before wooo! haven't listened to this one in a whiiile and it's even better than i remember it-- so foreboding and anxious and yet such a satisfying listen. the sequencing and transitions are flawless and the overall dark atmosphere makes the lighter moments like the rip even more transcendent. prooob my fave album that's come up so far! standout- the rip

enjoyed a lot of this, but also some was difficult for me… standout- summer’s cauldron

soooo glad we’re going as them for halloween

mm nice

maybe unfairly comparing to mezzanine… but really really liked it!!

brings me to such a specific time in my life,,, this really was a moment huh

production is so good

i guess just like… what’s the point of this? why is it an hour long?

music that makes you happy to be alive

sooo much better than i thought this was gonna be

2nd half of layla is so cunt
