Can we just treat this as one song?

I'm on board with that. It flows like one song.

This album's really great, and I've had significant experiences with it already. Why not 5 an album when it's impacted you more than anything else in a long time

Cosmogramma is a beast of an LP. If you listen to it from start to finish, it's his strongest work. Although Camel will always be my fav track of his.

Turkey Dog Coma is so good. Does sound like something Miles might make if he were still around and making music.

Dev what's holding this back, in your eyes? The transitions and lack of continuity?




Pretty much. I feel that at times the album appears a little out of its depth, as if Flylo were spending too much time deliberately trying to "fuck up Miles Davis" (his words btw) at the expense of an identity for the album. Plus I think the album lulls in the middle, which might be the point structurally, but it doesn't do anything for me. And I guess the rating is also me trying to provide some context within his whole discog - if album a is a 4, and album b is a 5 then this must be a... you know what I mean?



in agreement with clercqie. the first sentence in particular feels like you're reaching. i don't attach much significance to something as arbitrary as an exclamation point.




Really? You think I'm "reaching" over an album that presents its theme of mortality with a sardonic smile? That treats death as a blood and guts spectacle (all the artwork) and has Captain Murphy laughing menacingly in the background? To each their own, but you're putting a limit on what can be interpreted from music, which completely goes against the point of interpretative themes and concepts



the second sentence is also sort of strange. in what way does it present the impression of an irrelevant remark?




It doesn't, it says irreverent

It's probably just the way you decided to word some stuff, because the quote above is more grounded than what I quoted two pages ago; at least to me. Anyways, it wasn't intended as hard criticism, it just striked me as I read through the review.

^ Psst, he's trying to politely say that what you wrote is pretentious as fuck.

i thought it was a perfectly cromulent comment.



strong Mwandishi vibes on the Herbie features.



"Can we just treat this as one song?" yes, this is key. Los Angeles, you can isolate tracks and they rule. on this, as people have said, the first few tracks up to and including the Kendrick feature feel like a suite. those could easily be a nine and a half minute track.

Other than Never Catch me, tetris and maybe even Coronus, you can't compare the "songs" from this with the songs from another album. They're just different cuts of meat, so I don't how why people are trying to do that
