Yet another easy laid back rock album by Mac DeMarco. This one also contains several great songs and if you close your eyes, it gives you the feeling of a micro holiday on the beach.

This played and I listened

Great tunes, a modern indie classic

Got the chance to see Mac play in Frankfurt a few years back, and his silly goofy antics (+3D animated gif of an anthropomorphic toilet that played the whole show) went over about as well as you could expect with Germans, known comedians. Anyway, I appreciated the chance to revisit DeMarco’s signature slacker style. Felt there was an overexposure of his music a few years ago, so it was nice to come back and remember why all that hype was justified. Don’t let the moniker of ‘Bedroom Pop’ fool you – there’s a surprising amount of recording tracks and studio professionalism baked into each song. It’s what gives the laid-back, chorus-drenched tracks such a rich, encompassing feel, and DeMarco’s soulful lyricism + knack for songwriting means the album shines with genuine human emotion wrapped in great guitar licks. Great add, there’s a distinct lack of late-teens indie here so far and this LP goes a long way to address that.

Hell yea. The last Mac DeMarco album I would've added, but I can't complain. 4

Another one where I should like it more than I do. It's fine, some good songs but not enough to make me really like it. My personal rating: 3/5 My rating relative to the list: 3.5/5 Should this have been included on the original list? No.

2 is Mac’s groovy guitar laden trip into his cigarette loving odd ball lifestyle. His musical is always a joy to listen to as it’s carefree and rather simple pleasantries. This was significantly better than his first album and a precursor to his best albums with salad days and another one. There are some great songs on this with great guitar tunes that give this plenty of replay ability. Just wish he’d come back to this kind of style. 8.3/10

Cozy slacker rock. Not a particularly groundbreaking album or anything, but it has heart. Also titling your debut album "2" is a good bit.

Oddball, clever ( maybe a bit much so), obviously a lot of talent but a little thin as these single artist productions tend to be. Not a bad listen though, I'd listen to this artist again.

Wobbly and twee sounding music. Just found it really same-ish, and that guitar tone really grated after a few songs. Not bad, just not great.

short & sweet, if a little sleepy

Mac DeMarco is one of those singers/bands that become to me almost like a joke/internet meme and it's funny to discover that they actually exist and have real albums. Good instruments, bland album.

The TikTok guy!

This was nice and enjoyable. It didn’t really shake up my world but I liked it.

Indie rock, jangle pop. Ni fu ni fa.

Sweet little 'easy-listening' album

Märklig platta och märklig musik. Inte helt oävet dock.

Meh. Didn’t really like this one.

I think he wants me to rate this a two...
