I know what you mean mate, I deleted it from my library because it’s just too exhausting and irritating as fuck nestled into a year of truly great music. I’ll come back to it in a year or two or three or four.

I rarely watch music videos but I did watch the 'Holy Holy' one, love how he's revelling in his own ridiculousness.
As I said before, 'objectively' it's right up there as hugely impressive...but leaning on the subjectiveness as I imagine everyone does for their choice for favourite of the year, then this would be a suspect choice for AOTY.
I couldn't listen to this multiple times daily for too long.

This shit is incredible.
Edit: Only halfway through but every track is so lavishly poured over with fusion antics and variations. Crazy guitar tones and overall production quality too.

Why do so many post punk adjacent bands have such shitty vocals. I have never noticed something like this in other rock genres

These vocals suit the music

This isn't post punk really. Black Midi was more post punk, especially earlier in their discog, but I'd say this is pretty well divorced from that type of sound. More jazz rock/fusion and prog than anything else. And the vocals have this kind of Broadway thing happening, like he's the lead in a play. Agreed that they suit the music, and the overall over the top and tongue in cheek nature of the narrative/lyrics therein.

I really don't get the hate on the vox. They're awesome.

vocals are 100% the core attraction to me, this record is obviously v instrumentally accomplished but one of the areas this trumps the Black Midi catalogue is that the stylistic flexes are almost always in aid of strong character portraits (which previously felt like an optional extra)
and can americans please stop comparing anything vaguely theatrical to broadway smdh i know it's not your fault that most dramatic traditions in the world are older than your baby country but

It's a short hand association to convey a point? Maybe there are other comparisons to make, but that's a particularly odd peeve.

Hi there normaloctagon, Geordie's dad Randy here. Mrs G and I went over a number of contenders before firming up for the big chap, but in the end there could be no other. GG? Legend! Love what the boy has done here, just don't ask where he got those holy, holy stones from (ha ha).
"short hand association"
yes I caught that, next time you use a synecdoche for an entire artform re. a non-yank artist, maybe pick one that doesn't start and end in NYC thank you

Why though? For Johnny's peace of mind? I'm supposed to care? Think about how it makes Johnny feel every time I post something? I said "kind of like broadway" and you're tying yourself in knots here. I don't feel like I did anything even remotely wrong there, sorry. I think you're cool, but the expectation is beyond ridiculous. That's your baggage, not mine.

it's funny because he has openly stated old broadway stuff is an influence

hold my beer
there is plenty of musical theatre in here (cabaret + west end revue stuff obviously) and seeing people clutch at broadway every time they try to make a point about anything halfway theatrical is beyond debate as a wider phenom. would not surprise me at all if this has shows that have played on Broadway in its dna, but that has no bearing on how
>this kind of Broadway thing happening
>like he's the lead in a play
confusing musicals and plays like this reeks of that wider indifference between wildly different arms of a huge artform
