ok bet i peeped it when it dropped, but only gave it one listen. i feel like i'm the odd man out when it comes to Alex G because people whose opinions i respect are big fans of his music...i just never had the chance to give his discog a proper listen yfm

this new album certainly a good place to hop on the train as well havent decided if its better than House of Sugar or not yet

And I had been going out of my way for years to say he was the probably the most wildly talented and iconic of the group evidenced by the fact that nobody else got their own whole damn song on the debut. Man probably just ate the whole damn beat up by himself and the studio and they were like

But tbh Ghost, Rae, ODB, Deck, GZA just as good in other way. U-God often low-key had my favourite verse.

yeah man i was in my singer-songwriter/folk bag back then. cliche, but i still think Dylan is probably the best lyricist ever. dude knew how to paint pictures in your head with his lyrics, even if you don't quite understand them (more specifically the surreal s*** he was dabbling in on the electric trilogy)

When people talk about Alex G I picture Sacha Baron Cohen

its time to get on the right side of history

I think singing along to songs with the family on the long ass drive to our farm as a kid made me pay attention to lyrics so I can memorize them better pretty early on Neil s*** like Harvest

I don't know anything about this person

I think I’m gonna listen to that one now. I’m getting Fideliocore impressions from what I’m hearing about it.

Wish more of y’all were on the Conor Oberst train with me, I think he embraces both of them in his work and it’s a good balance.

he went crazy here

man i heard from somebody like 5 years ago they were gonna turn this song into a movie...wtf happened

only Altman could've done it justice
i just picture McCabe when I hear this

i used to listen to Bright Eyes' discog and Ruminations back then a lot. can't say i've gone back recently though not that i've grown out of them, i just haven't been in the mood to listen yk

Fevers & Mirrors still a top 10 album all time for me but yeah you gotta be in a certain mood.

I never once had that experience with my family

that one and Lifted were my most played albums from them. Letting Off and I'm Awake are also very great

Dylan's cryptic vitriol A lot of Oasis lyrics give me the same vibe

Elliott just captures that drunken heartbroken sad b****** mood perfectly. He's so catchy.

Okay this Alex G album is great. This has been such a good year for music.

I dont hate him or anything but his songs never resonate with me

now that i think about it, you're dead on about Oasis. why the f*** did this never occur to me

i am in a very happy relationship rn but to say that i don't feel anything whenever i hear this song would be a flat out lie my partner has the same Ferdinand tattoo as Elliott, they're a big big fan

A girl showed me this video when I was like 17 and I was like "what the f*** is this? "

But then I kept going back to it and eventually listened to Either/Or and the self titled and I was hooked from then on. Him and Dylan hit right around the same time for me when I was (mostly) only interested in stuff that made my head explode.

Pretty cool that video's still up actually. Youtube relics
