How strange. Kate Tempest is super talented.

It is, yet it’s still one of their nicest listens. Objectively average =/= boring

Who is better, The Chemical Brothers or Daft Punk??

Gunna go for option 3:

Conor Oberst’s output is generally very good but he can also be a pretty cringey and occasionally quite creepy lyricist, and I doubt he’s a GBoL

One good song.

… Which is?

YOU’D THINK SO

#163

I KNOW, RIGHT??

#164

Four Winds.

Which I’m guessing his fans think is trite, populist, vapid etc.

#165

what the heck, that’s a bizarre choice

I’ve listened at length to four of his albums (Lifted…, Cassadega, Wide Awake, and Fevers and Mirrors) and I gave Digital Ash and The People’s Key a couple of listens before giving up. Haven’t listened in ages, but I frequently return to Four Winds, because through it all that’s the only song that ever connected.

I thought Four Winds was a great comeback single and for me it still remains to be one of the high points of Cassadaga.

Used to listen to it everyday on my walk to work. I only had about five songs on my phone so I played it to death…

I feel like his fan base grew up with his music and have stayed loyal with each release. So finding an entry point at a later age might be tricky. I can appreciate that a lot about Conor can be off putting, as @Aggpass mentioned with his lyrics plus his voice is a bit Marmite.
