What's ur favorite song from the LP, OP?
I'm enjoying it! Especially Creeks, all 3 of the singles, and that ending

>I WORRY 'BOUT RAIN
>I WORRY 'BOUT LIGHTNING\

fucc

I'm at 666, only songs I heard were the first two singles. This is pretty good, maybe it'll grow on me, but despite the electronic veil I feel like this is just kind of the same shit he's been doing for years. Obviously well-made and well-composed, but I'm getting a little sick and tired of his purposefully "vague" lyricism

>>68141663
moon water and ____45_____ though are pretty bad. Otherwise it's perfect imo. Even CREEKS

>>68141738
>"vague" lyricism
He's always written like that, even on his solo stuff in the early '00s
>>68141755
I like those tracks t b h

>>68141791
Yeah I know, that's why I'm saying I'm getting tired of it? If it was just on this album how could I be getting tired of it lol

It's a solid 8.5

Oh shit, ty

>>68141755
moon water got me fucked up senpai. feels like a bad trip. I love it.

After a month of listening to the leak I can say that I really like it but it's not as good as his previous two albums (or even Blood Bank). Still an 8/10 though.

that's like every major release this year.

Except Blackstar

>>68143154
It has a bunch of shitty glitches and skips that sound like vinyl rip artifacts, for starters. Especially on 29 Stratford

>>68143132
it was not that bad. people like you tend to think thought the production wasn't on purpose, which is was.

>>68143184
oh okay, why is that? A lot of people seem to really like it and think it could be the AOTY.

Okay, so don't get me wrong, I like the album a good bit, but can we all recognize how fucked this is?

Sufjan made the transition back when it was actually a risky move, and ultimately made a considerably more forward thinking, fully realized and ambitious record. But that style wasn't "cool" at the time so they gave it a mediocre score (relative to the album's quality and how they've previously rated his work).

basically fuck pitchfork and their bullshit trend hopping.

>>68143538
Yup, it's easy for people to make the Age of Adz parallel. But people don't realize how much more left field it was then.

This really isn't that different for Bon Iver when you pass through the first 2 or 3 listens, just different instruments/production.

Sufjan really went balls to the wall and it payed off and was much more fleshed out than this is.

I think 9.0 is fine for 22,a Million but Age of Adz should be like 9.4+ imo.

>TIDAL doesn't have it

damn you to hell Jay Z

>>68143538
Adz was incredibly ambition but doesn't always hit the spot. Of course Impossible Soul was unbelivably good, but many other tracks sound overblown or cheesy to me. Not like this record where I'm reaching for the replay button over and over. Honestly the only similarity is that they're both folky artists gone electronic. THe albums sound nothing alike

>>68143538
Age of Adz should definitely be a 9.5. That said, I always see Pitchfork scores less based on quality, more on where the music fits in the zeitgeist of upper middle class urban dwelling hipsters in Brooklyn and Austin right now.

>>68143616
Adz is the definition of weird for the sake of weird, its pure aimlessness.

>>68143431
What a beautiful and insightful comment. I actually run a music blog and am looking for interns. Would you be interested?

>>68143635
I still think every song delivers, I don't think aimless is always a bad thing.

>>68143635
nah

Suf knew how to work with electronics well even 10 years prior. He approaches them from a compositional perspective rather than them just being there to accentuate his songwriting. He knows what he's doing, everything on there was intentional.

>>68143710
ah well I was just trying to bait you into acting impressed with yourself anyway
nvm carry on

>>68143198
I think it was on purpose, but still don't like some aspects of it.

>>68143755
I never said he did it by accident.

>>68143189
Yeah I agree, lots of very good music this year but nothing truly great. There's nothing this year that's a potential album of the decade contender.

>>68143441

>tfw they gave Chance the fucking rapper a 9.1

That album is honestly one of the best rap releases of the year. The score should be within that ballpark.

Only edgekings hate it.

>>68141292
bump.
It's the AOTY no question. Big-time grower too. Took about 5 listens to really appreciate.

My only regret is I spent so much time listening to the leaks this doesnt really sound that interesting anymore. I can tell its decent music but i just feel like id like it better if i had just waited for 320 :((((

>>68142554
what a beautiful track

the country-gospel influences, the OVERT country-gospel influences, are the biggest surprise here. it's like what he did with beth/rest, but way closer to home for me personally.

i'm going to live inside this record for a long time.

>>68144398
You fucked up anon

I didn't even listen to the singles before this came out

IS THE COMPANY STALLING?

>>68144398
>>68144418
Is the actual release out yet instead of the shit leaks?

>>68144493
Yeah CD rip leaked yesterday I believe

I hated Moon Water at first but now I love it. That fucking sampled scream/cry is haunting.

its on spotify

>>68144418
I mean i can enjoy the second half a lot more now since its different from the leaks. Also i didnt get to the second half as often so its still pretty fresh. Id give anything to hear 29 stratfford apts for the first time again tho.

>listens to age of adz once

age of adz is my favourite album ever what should i expect /mu/???

No I'm actually coming down with something shit sucks can't sleep

The album is very beautiful overall, but none of the songs came even close to how incedible 33 God is, 666 came close but that's basically it. Probably 8/10 for me, maybe 9/10.8
