« Ouh la la la », indeed ;)

I think I get it why it has been so popular. But I find it actually quite boring. Then I even made the effort to listen and read some lyrics. And I think it matches perfectly to the music…

« Papa, is it the same song that we’ve been listening to? ». Arthur, yesterday in the car, on the way to school.

The number one track is a hit. Sure. But I found the rest of the album very so so. Found some nice patterns, but I found most tracks boring.

No dignity No GPT Happily surprised by this album. Apparently it’s categorized as post rock. So maybe that explains hahaha. However I’m a fan of long tunes, over 15 min. Back then electronic music was emerging as something that would be long lasting. So, in that album I enjoyed the long construction. I also enjoyed how they work on sound itself, and make imperfections part of the whole production (cf. Matthew Herbert in electronic music, about « mistakes » and it eponymous album). Personally I would have enjoyed some more groovy harmonics , or at least more deepening in that matter. There was space for it, even while keeping the « rough » feeling and giving all its space to the drums and the bass. All in all, it made me want to dig more that band, and discover their 2025 just released album. 14/20

I discovered Common back in 2007 . I love his flow and the instrumentals he picks up. However, to be totally honest since I really struggle understanding the lyrics and I have no time reading them somewhere my fool appreciation is quite limited ha ha ha ha.
