I remember hearing an interview with him where he was talking about how Suspiria or whatever was so different for him like this radical change and I just thought it sounded more or less like all the rest of his stuff maybe I’m a philistine.
it was very typically him, wasn’t it?
anyway, I feel bad for taking this off the rails too much
Loved reading this - thank you. Excellent post. Is it too late to up my score to a 5?
anyway sorry Big Thief, I’ll go now.
Nice chatting to you Acorn!
Yes you can still change it by pressing 5 (and thanks!)
2 playlist picks please pal?
That’s a bit unfair i reckon. I’d say i’m all of those things (although perhaps doubting that now) and i’m firmly in the “yeah, they’re ok” camp.
If you’ve found that one hook then I’d say keep going, that was Mythological Beauty for me.
Oh god hold on
Also let’s have a look at the score
Well currently both Mythological Beauty and Shark Smile are joint 3rd with 11%, but luckily I would keep both of them in, so for my other pick I’ll put the first album in, which hasn’t been represented, and go with Real Love
Yeah, an incredible amount of new music gets discussed every week in those threads, and the Album of the Month threads that BMS runs. As someone who keeps up quite a lot with new music I’m always blown away by quite how much people are keeping on top of it. Guess those threads can be easy to pass you by though.
no, I know
was scrambling for understanding
Done!
I think each tell their own story about where Lenker was at with each album personally so would rate them as “good” (quelle surprise)
The updated playlist is here btw (75 hours and counting)
@shrewbie makes a good point about how lesser known acts only get fleeting mentions in those threads
but I guess there’s so much, it takes a lot for an act to find itself discussed to this extent
Weirdly I enjoy these threads but have never even looked at the playlist before
I mainly use it for walking to work tbh, I’m not sure anyone else listens to it, but we’ve come too far to stop now.
I really tried to avoid suggesting this because I agree about its patronising, no idea if you read my post but I hope I succeeded
