Fight me

>>74799476
So have you listened to it? I knew about it before JTG's review you fucking drone piece of shit

Vijay Iyer isn't exactly underground Jazz but he is underground compared to /mu/ taste

>>74799380
Heard some teasers on Youtube few days ago and found them pretty average at best. Should I approach this release?

>>74799554
Why settle for teasers when you can have a full song?

>>74799580
Why settle for a full song when you can have a whole album in one sitting though?

>>74799594
A friendo on /mu/ (maybe JTG who knows) got a mega link, should be in the archive

I used to listen to Ayreon a lot. I was addicted, but they kinda faded in the background.

Xiu Xiu - FORGET
Niel Cicierega - Mouth Moods

Ambersmoke and Slowdive are my stand out winners so far.

I'm just joking senpai - it's a great album but most of /jazz/ appears to hate it for various stupid reasons

Here's the thread where they've been talking about it
>>74779395

Mostly it just seems to be one dummy who just keeps calling Iyer "corny," whatever that means and it's pretty obvious he didn't listen to the album.

I've heard about the album months ago so I've been looking forward to it for a while but I though JTG's review was pretty spot on with the Andrew Hill comparison.

I definitely wouldn't say it's a perfect album though.
