it's not cringey but it's painfully cliché and makes me want to say no

I tried 3 or 4 times but never could really get into The Positions but I think I'm gonna check this one out. My impression (from what I recall) were the songs felt overly long, lost steam or kind of wandered, but I always liked something about their sound/vibe and they seemed to have a lot of potential.

I just realised that the closing songs of my 2 favourite LPs of the year are:

- Say Yes to Life, and
- I Choose to Live

Hmmm, probably tells you how good my last couple of years have been!

Listened to this twice and so far only some of the songs have clicked for me. Achilles in particular.

agreed. also, as a lot of people have noticed, the national wouldn't be out of place either

I dipped into this album when I first gt it and I thought it sounded a hell of a lot like the national. I mean it wasn't so much but the comparison is there for sure

It's not that I don't like it, it's just that it's not my kind of music so it'll probably take a bit longer for me to digest it properly.

Gave this and new Rosetta a combined six hours of listening time today so may go up a bit but likely won't push the 5. Just a really warm listen from start to finish and the interludes help to make the runtime manageable.

Listened to this a few times, and found it to be quite solid. Fantastic write-up as usual, Sowing! Any thoughts on Achilles?
