arguably the most fun album ever. these two knew they would never top this collaboration so they never released anything together again. just under 40 minutes of nothing but fucking jams. perfect summer album for the rest of existence.

first listen was at work on a really chaotic and awful day, but playing this loud on the speakers in the restaurant before service turned my awful day into a great one. good to have the album of the summer already, and no doubt a contender for the big one, aoty.
THE LATIN KING

i <3 my drone girlies

can't wait for bieber's next album/single to sound like a lesser version of this.

first of all, thank you @hinderson

fantastic compilation, and for a great cause. so well put together with all the covers and collabs.

andre 3k track is a miss though. but the moses sumney and anohni cover of sophie's is it cold in the water? more than makes up for that.

wacced out murals > squabbled up > luther is the greatest three-song run of the year
and hey now > reincarnated > tv off is a close second

not brought up nearly enough as one of the best rap groups. guru's cadence is nearly unmatched to this day.

i think everyone can relate to the fear of mediocrity when a favourite band of theirs releases their first album in x amount of years, but this is insane, it's like they never stopped. wow.

close enough, welcome back arthur russell.

YEE HAW BABY

after hearing it performed live in a church i am 110% certain this is one of the top 10 albums of the decade already.

this belongs on any best albums of all time list.

five stars for 'dance yrself clean' alone.

the last punk band. they do not miss. ever.

THAT'S MY MF'N GOAT!!!

existence is painful, but at least dudes rock.

10 seconds in and already locked the fuck in. YES!!!

happy to return to this band. maybe i was wrong in dissing that ep and ignoring the last two lps from them? will investigate...

it's starting to feel like radiohead will never put out another album, or that we will have to wait many more years for that. taking the smile's output into account, i can live with that.

everything they do on here, they do so well. can't remember the last time a year was so full of great and exciting metal releases. happy to be having fun listening to metal again.

so beyond any of the black midi albums, 'the magician' is just... wow

beautiful ambient/drone album in a similar vein to her fellow stockholmer (stockholmite?) kali alone. title track is very basinski-esque (at least dlp) in how it starts very soft and evolves into this suffocating drone. cannot recommend enough.

car commercial-core from here on out

pimp c steals the show on big pimpin' so hard that it's the highlight of the entire album and it's not even close.

the sophomore slump is going to hit different when they eventually decide to put out more music.

i hate mike love so much.

liking this as an angsty teen, and then returning to it as an adult years later and realising it was even better than i remembered it being is what keeps me alive.

insanely strong debut, a lot of my favourite outkast tracks are on this album. especially player's ball

hardly a controversial take to call this their best album, spottieottiedopaliscious being their best song, of course.

if u don't like oasis then u just hate fun. i'm sorry, i don't make the rules.
