First 20 seconds of "Half Real" sounds a bit like VU's "All Tomorrow's Parties" or am I crazy

Islands of Men is a real SOTY contender

Long Island City Here I Come is literally insane

no other bands on the planet making anything like it

It’s a masterpiece

Tapping in for the first time rn

how we doing bud

Really enjoying it so far. Need to relisten when I'm not at work so I can give it my full focus. Had no idea what to expect going in but I'm digging the crank wave thing they got going on. It's also just a beautiful sounding album from an audio perspective. Feel like 95% of all new music has no dynamics or anything even remotely organic sounding, so this is refreshing.

production is unbelievably f***ing crisp

Forgot about Bright Green Field, thanks for the reminder

What's OBAA?

One Battle After Another, a movie not an album

Cobra is really song of the life

addicted to the intro track specifically when it really starts to go in and the drums are cutting in and out and bouncing from right to left and that little slippery sounding horn is just snaking its way thru the mix. god bless geese

I'm not gonna rank it quite that high but I think it might be top 10 which is pretty damn high for this year imo

Easy too 20 for me at least

Edit actually I think I would put it at 11 firmly at this point but I don't see it beating out my top 10 at all

You've probably listened to more albums than me this year. I usually pick it up during end of the year but right now this album is easily vying for my top 20 this decade

Geese and Viagra Boys are currently in a no holds barred fight to the death for album of the year. Viagra owned me for 3/4s of the year but the fall belongs to the Geese. And my favorite group Armand Hammer is still dropping this year

baby....

Genuinely not sure when I last felt this way about a rock album

you don't have to, BUT I WILLLL

What the actual f***
