Not in my albums of the year

Digging: Arab Strap - As Days Get Dark

this guy die too?

Album Rating: 3.0

These guys just don't click with me at all. Which is weird bc it couldn't be more up my alley. I just find this really bland



Edit: decided I should check some of schmaltz. That's more like it!

man you are more whiny than the singer

Anyway, I still think this album was the perfect representation of the mess 2020 has been on western, low-income, future-on-hold millennial generation.

Album Rating: 2.0

kind of agree so i'll give it a same rating as my rating for 2020

Digging: Pharoah Sanders - Karma

Album Rating: 5.0 | Sound Off

fair play - I obviously loved it and it was my Italian quarantine disc as it dropped essentially a week before the shit hit the fan.

Album Rating: 3.5

This was an instant click so I am excited to see it grow on me, and the fact this was my first album by them makes me happier seeing how people seem to like the previous more... and being a 30 yr old @Lunatic hits the nail on the head with how this album feels

oh god i feel the exact same way i do listening to this as i do with the wonder years. there's like 3 highlights and then everything else sounds exactly the fucking same

Album Rating: 4.0 | Sound Off

I was relistening to this recently and weirdly enough the first half felt a little cringey but the second half was all knockout after knockout. idk, variety and subtlety are not this band's strong suits but the earnestness wins me over

Album Rating: 3.0

it got old for me after Beach Front Property which was without a doubt the highlight

Album Rating: 3.0

still kinda cant believe that every song here that wasnt released prior is in the same key (bar losers but the og version is in a different key too so could include that). horrendous decision regarding this thing's diversity and memorability

Digging: Chevelle - NIRATIAS

Album Rating: 3.0

Now that I'm head over heels for Schmaltz and have been spinning it relentlessly, I should give this one another go

Album Rating: 3.0

Highlights: Generation Loss, Losers 2, t/t



Rest of this still just does not do it for me

Wow, this opening track hits like a fucking truck.

Album Rating: 3.0

On any given day I'm a 6 of 10

Digging: Whirr - Feels Like You

Hmm, this does get a little same-y after a bit, but I do dig some highlights here and there.

Album Rating: 3.0

Oh right this album exists. I absolutely love Schmaltz, but the just never resonated with me at all. It was just less emotional, less funny and less catchy for me

Guess I need to check Schmaltz

Album Rating: 3.0

Must really suck for these guys, they were finally catching their break and then covid happened.
