Very inspired album imo... Maybe not as strong as PC

Really enjoying this. Jammed with ideas (more impressively given the original version of the album was apparently lost) albeit all within a specific aesthetic so he probably won't be expanding his fanbase and will almost certainly be left off year-end lists. Can't wait to hear a lot of this live. His vocals are noticeably better too (altho the bar was pretty typically low there).
Despite being an interlude that bass drop on 'Bozo' is one of the best moments. 'Techno Clique' also great.

I... don't hate this?
But the bits I like best are basically Cut/Copy with a less irritating singer.

this is one of my favorite albums of the year
apparently a chunk of it was recorded on a carnival cruise ship?

Now that I've had time to listen to this multiple times, I have to say it's one of this year's greatest disappointments for me. There's a lot going on, musically-speaking, but nothing coalesces to an appealing whole. I'm more than willing this a personal defect, but fuck it, I'm upset nonetheless.

New album 'World Of Hassle' out in a few months, now just as Alan Palomo. Tracks released so far offer more (or at least as much) glitz but less grit than previous NI work/aesthetic. Nice to see he's still making these kinds of videos though.

new album is kinda ilm bait (very sophisti-synthpop), definitely his best work

I like this album but find the lyrics on it kind of obnoxious. The schtick worked for me on his previous record, but it feels clumsier and goofier here. Especially that first track... I guess partly it's the delivery too, the silly voice he's doing.
But you know what? The music's good enough for me to get over it. Especially Stay-At-Home DJ, that's the standout for me so far.

his schtick is goofy for sure but it fits the music and works better than it did on the previous album to me
