carin at the liquor store, the system only dreams in total darkness, guilty party, all great tracks, but the whole album was sort of a chore to listen to.
― hoooyaaargh it's me satan (voodoo chili), Monday, 29 January 2018 16:07 (six years ago) link
the system dreams in total darkness is one of their best songs, pretty boring overall though

"turtleneck" is the worst "we're gonna rock out again" song i've heard in a while

These, "Dark Side of the Gym" and "Born to Beg" are the only ones that made it onto my phone, pretty poor showing by their standards.

enh that one struck me as a little try-hard miserablist even for them, will revisit tho

the "it's just the lights...coming on" part is like the ultimate national part of a national song

and yet another steaming turd of a US band.

joking, of course!
great record

will always welcome a new spoon album full of displaced and disembodied funk rock and deliberately underwritten bond themes
― flamenco drop (BradNelson), Monday, 29 January 2018 16:41 (six years ago) link
Thought this was a good record but it didn't make my ballot, didn't find myself returning to it much over the year.
― Gavin, Leeds, Monday, 29 January 2018 16:42 (six years ago) link
also like the national they're a band where it's just a pleasure to hear the drummer play
― flamenco drop (BradNelson), Monday, 29 January 2018 16:42 (six years ago) link
v solid album by an almost scarily consistent band

List feels a little full of plodding Amerindie to me.

xp to brad totally true, two of the best drummers currently doing it in rock and roll

we're getting the amerindie out of the way early
137 plodding Amerindie fans can't be wrong!

i wont divulge anything about american plod indie, but i can say that there is no more italian dream house for the rest of the rollout sadly

Two of my favorite bands of the last couple of decades. Two albums I very much liked the *sound* of, full of songs completely overshadowed by their prior work. ("The System Only Dreams in Darkness" is excellent).
Here is an actual verse from my favorite sounding song on the Spoon record:
Coconut milk, coconut water, aw haYou still like to tell me they're the sameAw ha, and who am I to say?
― Indexed, Monday, 29 January 2018 16:57 (six years ago) link
less Amerindie more Amerie, amirite

much as she has meant to me in the past, i honestly never want to hear her voice again.
― Heavy Messages (jed_), Monday, 29 January 2018 17:10 (six years ago) link
first two tracks were cool but this really did not need to be 70+ minutes, bjork at her densest and most abstract gets tiring very quickly
― ufo, Monday, 29 January 2018 17:10 (six years ago) link
First track is beautiful, but I got lost after that one.
― Johnny Fever, Monday, 29 January 2018 17:11 (six years ago) link
my response to Living In The City was basically "oh cool, there's a female Hold Steady now" lol
I'm down with the Hold Steady but they are the whitest band ever, this is a Bronx singer of Puero Rican heritage staring down Trumpsim and doing it with tunes you could put on in Starbucks. That's kinda what I loved about it.
― Matt DC, Monday, 29 January 2018 17:11 (six years ago) link
I never said my take was accurate! Just popped into my head, thought it was humorous that it made me think of that
― imago, Monday, 29 January 2018 17:13 (six years ago) link
i voted for the bjork album at #17 or therabouts. i thought it was gorgeous.

it was nice to hear her so happy after the spartan vulnicura

the starbucks thing is offset by the intensity and occasional fury simmering in the lyrics and vocals but i agree.
