Its regarded generally as being a step down from their previous material. Good News is far more consistent if slightly front-loaded and the albums before have received substantial acclaim to the extent where The Moon and Antarctica as well as the Lonesome Crowded West are considered among the greatest albums of their respective decades. To give a brief summary.

>This is a Long Drive & Lonesome Crowded West could probably be mistaken for being made by a different band is not for Brock's unique vocals. Both are far more sparse instrumentally and only feature the original trio (Isaac Brock, Eric Judy and Jeremiah Green), as a result the performances are far more raw if that's your thing and also a lot more bare. The vocal delivery is much stronger and the lyrics whilst not as developed are delivered with passion that cannot be matched on their later material, there are also a lot of instrumental segments which tend to drag out the lengths of their respective albums (though add enormously to the atmosphere and quality of such).
>The Moon and Antarctica represents an enormous change in sound and is easily their most experimental work, recorded after being signed to Epic and thus having a far greater budget to create the album, features more grandiose string sections, backmasked guitars, arguably Brock's greatest lyricism also and clearly the creative peak of the band.
>Good News is far more commercialized and accessible than Moon and Antarctica so thus marks the divide in the fanbase where some may consider it as the band "selling out", in spite of this it is a great record in its own right and the band handles a more radio-friendly sound spectacularly, as can be seen with tracks like Float On and Ocean Breathes Salty (though many fans won't dare admit it).

Don't bother looking at Strangers to Ourselves, there's not much to salvage from it. And try their EPs/ compilations. First and foremost the Moon and Antarctica if you're looking to get into them.

wwd has a few great songs, but i absolutely hate little motel. i wish it wasn't on there at all.

do it man, it would probably help

There's a lot of manufacturing going on with popstars. I think Beyonce is one of the major ones. She would have had her place.

Oh and Shakira is pretty huge

It's not actually about multitasking. Only some drummers can really "multitask" and only in specific contexts (Chris Dave).

First, make sure your wrist are relatively straight and your whole hands and arms are relaxed, for safety. Look up drum corps tutorials better mechanical skills, learning how to properly diddle is really the biggest thing (I learned to fake it, so when I need that extra control that a real diddle gives you I don't have it).

Then learn songs, exactly as they are played. This will train your ear, playing along to them will train your internal metronome, and everything you learn will be useful in other contexts once you've internalized them. Always be learning challenging things, too. This means there is something happening that you're hands aren't used to.

Like I said, it's not about multitasking. The trick is ingraining patterns into your hands. The effect is multiplicative. Once you've got a bunch of stuff in your hands, you'll have the tools to be creative with what you know and rearrange things, making up new things on the fly. You need to practice this too, but first you need all the tools in your hands.

I'll call this the Led Zeppelin drum learners list. Do it or don't, it'll give a great foundation for rock/blues/fusion (if you go to the challenging ones). Do them in the order listed (don't worry if it doesn't sound perfect, a lot of the sound of drums comes from good production and that is definitely true of Zep):

Very Challenging:
Difficult timing

Half-Time Shuffle, very useful (also learn Rosanna-Toto if you're bold)

yeah it's actually not about multi tasking. the easiest way i found on how to get better is to find easy drum beats that i can hardly play and play them extremely slow until you can do it without messing up. also practice every day

Four Sticks is actually the most challenging

you can read those words but that doesn't mean you understand shit.

you can't "get out of" listening to music in order to experience it

>>73198923
it's everything you need to know about music that isn't worth listening to, yes

>>73198923
Bullshit. Intervals that were considered consonances in the mediaeval era are considered dissonances now, and vice versa. There's also the fact that a major third today sounds completely different from how it would've sounded pre-WTC

Would be better without Emily.

>a new Carly Rae Jepesen song
Wow is it an uptempo synthy dance song?

Just listen to it. The weather/time of day isn't gonna make an album any better/worse.

On mute while you listen to a much better album
