Kinda feel this, but they do have a dedicated (and enthusiastic) thread, which probably helped.

hello. Powerglide feels like an incredibly long time ago now but I dug in out the other day and it still bangs as hard as the first time I heard it

Whatever would’ve been the Beths song I’d vote for but i forgot to nominate it. Probably for the best though because vote splitting
I’d say there’s a good chance that album could make the top 10

"River Run: Lvl 1" is the best Beths song

Will Camp Cope’s The Opener place? I thought it would have placed by now..

I have been a diehard Kacey Musgraves stan since "Merry Go Round" but I still haven't quite figured out how "Slow Burn" became the single of choice. "Space Cowboy" and "High Horse" are far more innovative and better representations of her unique strengths. Even "Butterflies" and "Rainbow" are more interesting lyrically.
― Indexed, Thursday, 31 January 2019 18:13 (five years ago) link
the album does improve towards the end yes xxp

speed up "future me hates me" x 2 and put steve shelley on vocals you have a buzzcocks song
it's just really well-written, whatever you think of "indie" or whatever

The closest thing to a good New Order single from last year. – ufo
"Neutron Dance" summons horrible waking nightmares of Glenn Frey in a wrinkly summer-weight tweed suit, Ray-Bans and moussed-back hair, baring his soul. – tracerhand (2006)

I nearly made "Neutron Dance" my #1. But then I had a horrible night of broken sleep, where it felt like I was earworming it constantly. The next time I played it, the spell was broken.

"Neutron Dance" is in the same wheelhouse as a lot of Lindstrom/Todd Terje jams that I've enjoyed, but it feels a bit lifeless.

15: Julia Holter – “I Shall Love 2” – 296 points – 8 votes – 1 first place votevideo
Julia Holter
”I Shall Love 2” seems like a continental divide on this album; from then on the waters flow another direction. – alex in mainhattan
I've had the beginning of “I Shall Love 2” in my head all morning where her vocals are indeed very mimsy, and it's made me realize how enamored I am becoming both with this album and with those sorts of affected, contorted vocals more generally. All her albums have drawn power and dynamism from a sense of scale, that comfort and delight in personhood, the intimacy of being your small self in a vast swirling world. - ogmor
http://www.thesinglesjukebox.com/?p=26319
The magical realist dreamscapes of Julia Holter’s songs are always compellingly strange. “I Shall Love 2” feels like waking up on a tropical shore, surrounded by fallen fruit and parakeets, but with the color of the sky just odd enough to make you wonder if you might, in fact, still be dreaming. It’s a fitting space for a love song, delivered without irony or trepidation; maybe this is what it’s meant to feel like? Julia, dazed and blinded by the sun, wonders “what do the angels say” and is answered by a celestial chorus; the song builds to a Deserter’s Songs-ish climax of swirling, entwining vocal parts, strings and brass, strands of the entire galaxy uniting in imperfect synchrony to celebrate her newfound love. I mean, sorry Julia, there’s no way this isn’t a dream. – Vikram Joseph
Julia Holter’s left looking pale upon facing the song’s central epiphany, and what really pushes “I Shall Love 2” is her follow-up question: “what do I do?” It peels back how truly daunting it can be to get hit by the feeling when you least expect it, and how you’re never prepared to respond to love’s arrival. The creaking music, too, sighs and crashes on its knees as powerless as Holter. The final swirling of voices that declare her breakthrough to choose love despite its known terror, then, echoes with bravery. – Ryo Miyauchi
everybody out
Not the best song on the album but I like it. Sounds a bit like a VU&N outtake.
