Also this album will never get old, modern pop classic

I don't know wtf you guys are on this is fire imo
Is it just because it's popular? Because that's a pretty dumb take. Let the hype die down a little and revisit, see how you feel.

Out of all the pop albums I would think Sputnik would appreciate the creativity and production here and a 3.8 is pretty good, but yeah

I just personally think it's way too soon to designate an album as a classic considering it's only been out for, what, a month?

I agree kind of but RYM is different from when we got our mad takes out regarding one pitchfork writer, if that makes sense. The system is hard to reduce: it’s just people giving shit ratings out of 5 at the end of the day. Maybe it’s the issue of people who use rym ratings to judge this or that thing they shouldn’t

Revisited after release week finally, so about fourth 'full' listen I guess, this is a bit like a tag team moment with Tame Impala at times, whoever compared the two...as Tame Impala were getting increasingly synth'y and bland.
I probably chose not to skip the last third of only about four songs here on this listen, a lot of muzak 'moments of clarity' where you realise minus the vocals the music has developed into something a bit 'demo preset' placeholder'ish.
I can sort of see this being almost a 'Moon Safari' for the times, if you invest enough into it then I can imagine it is a bit more catchy as opposed to snoozy. 'Cry for Me' in another life is the best song on a Royksopp album, agreed that is the standout.
This could have been A LOT better edited to a strict 40 minutes.

Disagree, I cannot imagine taking a single song out of this, it flows so well

Yeah, I don't really notice the length for that reason - it all just flows so naturally and the transitions are perfect.

genuine question, have Magdalena Bay ever actually mentioned Tame Impala? they're on totally different wavelengths imo. sure maybe they're both 'neo-psychedelia', but only in the same way that Pollock and Rothko are both 'abstract expressionists'

I think there's an entirely natural comparison there between how both artists navigate highly indulgent creative instincts and commercial polish, and I don't think anything MB would have to say about TI would shift the goalposts either way. Don't see TI as an influence as much as a helpful precedent for what they're trying to accomplish here
|
| |
welllll it's a bit confusing to say that TI's 'mainstream-isation of neo-psychedelia suffuses [this] record' then imo but I see enough people making the comparison that it clearly does resonate, even if I'm not quite hearing it – my question genuinely was genuine and not an implied criticism of the review, promise!
fyi 'Imaginary' instead of 'Imaginal' appears 3x in paras 5 and 6

lmao thank you, fix'd. amazed those survived so many months of publication + initial rounds of proofing, but what can you do
I'm not sure how 'mainstream-isation' implies similarities in sound over similarities in commercial treatment of content tbh. Perhaps that comparison could have used an extra descriptor to add the shared nuance of introversion/bedroom space, or something else to shift it further away from a straightforward 'sounds like', but given that the wider point there has to do with how MB *don't* defer to TI despite their similarities, imma have to throw my hands up and blame that part for not landing. Hmm
|
| |
all good I don't think that part of the review didn't land, I'm just being confusing. I should just relisten to Currents
|
| |
interesting coincidence that track 8 of this and track 8 of the psych pop album I reviewed here in 2018 (perhaps a little too rapturously) are both titled Watching TV
