hard for its reputation to not proceed it; I’ve loved this album since I was 16. while not as essential as “low”, it’s a clear graduation in the direction bowie was headed.
I survived the singer-songwriter deluge of the 2002s, and this album took me back. norah jones has a beautiful voice, but I found myself wishing I was listening to fiona apple, joni mitchell, chet baker, rufus wainwright, pretty much anything similar but so much weightier and with personality!
my scrotum imposin sooooo nostalgic. I’m smoking weed at the park in high school in 2015. charming in its scrappiness but still a masterful album deftly executed. kendrick’s preachy shtick is definitely less affecting with the benefit of time and hindsight and his following albums, but man it’s so good! m.a.a.d. city followed by swimming pool made me drive unwisely in the snow
all timer…..I bought this cd from the electric fetus when I was 14 bc it had been recommended and sited by so many of my favorite musicians. I would play it over and over while I worked on homework or stared at the ceiling or any of the stuff I did when I was 14. perfect!
I didnt relisten but I lived through the 2010s so I have heard this more times than anyone should before I die.
yuuuuup. best beats of any tribe album? mixed so well. kind of their most fiendish
rascal music
never listened to this all the way through; so beautiful, well produced, poignant, and maaaaan marvin gaye voice. yup
the song will be called “goober” and the lyrics will be goober every day goober now my way goober goober you’re such a bloody goober
a masterclass in sampling……my dad has loved dj shadow for his experimental take on his medium, somewhere between trip hop and ambient. listening on headphones rly highlighted the weirdness this time.
where to begin? my 3rd favorite monkees album. the one that changed everything and was perhaps the beginning of the end. the album they played (almost) all their own instruments on. does anybody know about their beards? the beginning of you told me brings me total ecstasy.
it’s superfly!
