i'm so glad someone had this reaction
the "Power of Love" cover rules and should have been on the album imo
― Simon H., Tuesday, 30 January 2018 19:33 (six years ago) link
here's a great bandcamp comment on the ulver ep: "Frankie Goes to Oslo"

lol yeah their transformation from black metal to depeche mode didn't happen overnight but it'd be cooler if it did

Heh, not for about twenty years. Electronic stuff mostly since. This is their poppiest effort though.

xp holy shit i was trying to figure out which exact 80s band the new EP reminded me of, that's perfect

This Ulver album is very good
― silverfish, Tuesday, 30 January 2018 19:56 (six years ago) link
my favorite moment on this album is the surprise "woo!" on "Forget About Life"
― Simon H., Tuesday, 30 January 2018 19:58 (six years ago) link
xp it's not making any impression on me either right now
I should probably listen to Ulver instead
― Dinsdale, Tuesday, 30 January 2018 19:58 (six years ago) link
Antisocialites is a lovely album even though I think the Japanese Breakfast record did this kind of thing so much better. Still hoping that might sneak in somewhere.
― kitchen person, Tuesday, 30 January 2018 20:02 (six years ago) link
best moment on the album "alter my state / to get through this date" on lollipop
― scoff walker (diamonddave85), Tuesday, 30 January 2018 20:02 (six years ago) link
There's some neat guitar playing on this record, but if you favor metal and stuff it'd probably fly right past you.
― Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 30 January 2018 20:04 (six years ago) link
I think the Ulver is the only thing I voted for that will place. Glad to see it on here.

my no. 1!

I just heard this for the first time a couple days ago thanks to Rolling Country. I really enjoyed it.
― Simon H., Tuesday, 30 January 2018 20:08 (six years ago) link
sorry to go back to the ulver record but i forgot how gorgeous the chorus of "angelus novus" was
― flamenco drop (BradNelson), Tuesday, 30 January 2018 20:09 (six years ago) link
i should've voted, then Antisocialites would've had a #1
maybe next year (i say that every year)
― alpine static, Tuesday, 30 January 2018 20:15 (six years ago) link
a lot of heavy hitters have already placed so I'm hoping for some real surprises
― Simon H., Tuesday, 30 January 2018 20:17 (six years ago) link
You can practically see the dry ice coming off this Ulver record.

^^^^ excellent description
― flamenco drop (BradNelson), Tuesday, 30 January 2018 20:20 (six years ago) link
I really liked "He Called Me Baby" and "Talking Behind Your Back" from the LAW album. Hopefully its presence means Sunny Sweeney and maybe Angaleena Presley will also show up later?
― Jeff W, Tuesday, 30 January 2018 20:21 (six years ago) link
This alvvays album is fine I guess. It's the kind of thing I would have no problem playing around the house while doing other things. I just can't imagine being enthusiastic about this kind of music.
― silverfish, Tuesday, 30 January 2018 20:25 (six years ago) link
Still holding out faint hope for Nikki Lane, but although some people are positive on it, I seem to be its only stan.
― Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 30 January 2018 20:26 (six years ago) link
not having much luck with tonight's pick, nothing really grabs me and this Wolf Alice thing is ugh
― Dinsdale, Tuesday, 30 January 2018 20:28 (six years ago) link
Lee Ann Womack album is incredible. She's peaking.
I voted for a slew of country albums but I kinda think this will be the only one to show.

I had a nagging feeling I would love this if I gave it a chance, but I never did. Will do soon.

felt seasonal last year but in every season :)

I think this was an exceptional year for compilations. Welcome to Paradise, Mono No Aware, Outro Tempo, that Fourth world one.
― omar little, Tuesday, 30 January 2018 20:33 (six years ago) link
The spoken word bits were really off-putting to me. An ok record otherwise.
― pomenitul, Tuesday, 30 January 2018 20:37 (six years ago) link
yeah i think some of the spoken stuff was what was keeping me from enjoying it

oh i normally feel the same but it worked well on this for me
― nxd, Tuesday, 30 January 2018 20:42 (six years ago) link
literally nothing I voted for (apart from HNDRXX? Can't remember) has placed yet. you all either have terrible taste or great taste depending on what's coming up
― Badgers (dog latin), Tuesday, 30 January 2018 20:43 (six years ago) link
LAW really picks up after a couple of minutes, is it all or mostly in this bracing country-rock vein?
― imago, Tuesday, 30 January 2018 20:46 (six years ago) link
great record
― brimstead, Tuesday, 30 January 2018 20:46 (six years ago) link
There were enough good ambient albums last year; this collection didn't add a lot to it for me.
I really want to like Lee Ann Womack but I can't find my way in. Country perchance my final frontier.
