imagine wanting ‘slams’ from This Heat, what an amateur
also… ‘boring and wispy’ 😂

idk im just reverse engineering. Deceit def a step up for me and has slammers, apparently want em

Album Rating: 4.0
One of the most "ahead of its time" albums of all time. When I saw this was released in 1979 I almost fell off my chair. May bump it to a 4.5 or even a 5 for that fact alone.

pfft 24 Track Loop slams harder than anything on Deceit
|
| |
This album is great, but my top five This Heat songs are probably all from Deceit except maybe Horizontal Hold
|
| |
Album Rating: 4.5
Hmm, at least you picked a good one there. Potential for redemption
and yeah me too Frost, I was perplexed by the release date
|
| |
Horizontal Hold & 24 Track Loop are in the discussion for This Heat top fivers. My other three would likely come from DECEIT as well. Maybe… Sleep, Makeshift Swahili, New Kind of Water? Then again, that leaves out Health & Efficiency, which is easily one of their best.
Idk too difficult.

Shit like this adds balance to the force. 2/5? Decent. Good choices. You see my taste can withhold this as peak This Heat, whereas Deceit works as a complement to tect’s otherwise rampant chin stroking
|

Actually find some of this ear gratingly bad.
Top 5 TH:
-new kind of water
-paper hats
-makeshift swahili
-cenotaph
-shrinkwrap

hmm let's see
1. Horizontal Hold
2. 24 Track Loop
3. A New Kind of Water
4. Graphic / Varispeed
5. Not Waving
don't really love Deceit, much prefer this. weirder and cooler
|
| |
Problem, generally speaking, is that this is not a band and these are not albums that lend themselves well to cherry-picking tracks out of context. "Not Waving" and "Music Like Escaping Gas", e.g., are excellent and essential elements to this album in its entirety but undeniably loose a bit of oomph when assessed in a vacuum so I'm torn.

I see what you mean and shant disagree, although exceptions (that prove the rule?): Horizontal Hold and A New Kind of Water. Absolute bangers even divorced from context. And actually perhaps my real top 2 songs by them are Horizontal Hold... and Horizontal Hold (Peel Session)

Album Rating: 4.5
yeah, the Peel Session version of HH is very appeeling, maybe more appeeling than the unpeeled version
Both are incredible tho
|
| |
Peel sesh HH is better by almost any objective metric but I can see how one might prefer the low(er)-fidelity soundscape from this album's cut.
Peel sesh Fall of Saigon is an absolute masterpiece, too, kinda forgot about that one, might need to make room on my hypothetical / non-committal top five.

Does Danny Brown sample Horizontal Hold on Adderall Admiral? lol
|
| |
Not sure, but Armand Hammer does (track "Sweet Micky") and it's fucking awesome.
|
| |
i've decided the answer is yes
...like I need a good reason to revisit Paraffin...bless you

I'm proud to have no idea what you're on about. What's a Danny Brown? Horizontal Hold exists only here (and occasionally on other This Heat releases)
|
| |
Just listened to Adderall Admiral and yes that is 100% obviously Horizontal Hold. It's barely even a "sample" he pretty much just rapped over the actual song lol.

Album Rating: 4.5
joking aside I did actually hear some potential HH inclusion elsewhere and I cannot recall the details now
I was about to ask if you had heard the Sleepytime Gorilla Museum SPQR cover?... but I see that the album displeased you greatly
