Saturated Fats
This is water
Got my account back, been listening to a lot of new and classic stuff over the past few weeks. Feeliiiiiiing like ranking some things.
NEW-ISH
Tool - Fear Inoculum (5/10)
black midi - Schlagenheim (8/10)
Tyler, the Creator - Igor (7/10)
Lana del Rey - Norman F*ing Rockwell (9/10)
Death Cab for Cutie - The Blue EP (3/10)
Candlemass - The Door to Doom (5/10)
Tropical F* Storm - Braindrops (4/10)
CLASSICS
Depeche Mode - Violator (10/10)
Swans - The Seer (8/10)
Joanna Newsom - Ys (7/10)
Sigur Ros - Takk... (7/10)
David Bowie - Station to Station (8/10)
Amesoeurs - Amesoeurs (4/10)
My Chemical Romance - Welcome to the Black Parade (5/10)
Simon & Garfunkel - Bridge Over Troubled Water (9/10)
A Tribe Called Quest - Low End Theory (9/10)
Alexisonfire - Old Crows, Young Cardinals (4/10)
I'm pretty sure Violator is in my top-15/20 of all time. It's just such a top-to-bottom fantastic record, not a dull moment. Even the singles, when listened in sequence, shine with the sheen they must've when the album was released. It's electro-pop at its absolute zenith. Also really, really impressed with what black midi accomplished, and pleasantly surprised with Lana, who has really grown into some fantastic songwriting chops. Fear Inoculum was what I expected - for better or worse. Tracks 1,2 & 9 are fantastic - the rest... eh.
