I don't hear Arctic Monkeys much. More like Paul Simon.

"Can see it as a loose comparison for how vapid and affected AM are at their worst"

gonna retain this pass for when my review-in-progress drops, because oh boy do these half-baked comparisons seem so much more legit now

Which is better... a 10-track album with no skips (like this). Or a 20 track double album with say, 3 or 4 skips?

I'm really enjoying listening to the first few bars of Ice Cream Piano and knowing it's all great from here on.

also

"Maybe rich white Ivy leaguers singing about rich white Ivy Leaguer things is annoying, but wouldn't it be more annoying if they were singing about...I dunno... tHe StrUgGLe?"

late, but literally exactly this kind of trite ivory-tower social commentary is somewhere in the top 5 reasons for why Classical is such an insufferable track

Weird how some people prefer the second half of this to the first half. Second half is is their old stuff rehashed but a little bit better than they did before which quite frankly wasnt my jam. This on the other hand is their best by far



Sputnik again where this is the only place where this is not praised beyond belief. What a surprise

About 70 of 115 scores are 4 or above and only around 12 are under 3, so it's doing okay. It's just some of the lower scorers are quite vocal...

Nothing wrong with that. Not everybody is going to vibe with the same records. I like what I heard of this one, though. More in line with Modern Vampires, which I also liked.

Give Modern Vampires a try. I think it has some similar stuff in there, too.
