Aesop Rock - The Impossible Kid (April 29, 2016) Album • Page 3

ha shit i totally ollied up curbs in the 90s. fuck.

 

this album probably has aes's best lyrics. i can't remember him being so quotable.

 

half passed out to pasture, whether clapped or batteries in backwards

 

I KNOW YOU LOVE THE WAY THE FAILURE FLOUNDER
MAYBE I COULD BE YOUR DAILY DOWNER

 

emo record of the year imo

 

This could easily end up as my AOTY.

 

iti is currently my aoty. no surprise since skelethon was my aoty tooo

 

This record got my wife to get into Aes...normally she wasn't a fan. Kirby won her over

 

I dunno, maybe get a kitten?

 

this is my AOTY by a large margin nowadays

 

It's up there with Samiyam and Anderson .Paak for me.

 

I think it's his best record at this point. He is able to get a lot more personal and relatable on it, without losing that incredible lyricism that makes him Aes

 

he's on colbert tonight

 

such a cool video

was listening to this again last night. still my AOTY

 

Kirby is probably my favorite song off of this, with Lazy Eye and Mystery Fish close behind. He sounded just as good live as he does on record when I saw him in Boston this month

 

"out of breath like a 7 day old balloon dog"

totally heard that line for the first time yesterday on tuff. after 2 months and countless listens, i'm still finding new things

 

this thread is so massively neglected.

this is still my AOTY

he put out this random ass track last month apparently.

also put out a video for arguably the album's best track.

annd announced another tour

Gonna try to make it to the Indy date. This is in my top 5 of the year without question

 

this was different / very cool

 

That's almost exactly how I imagined him doing a video for "Lotta Years" honestly haha. Pretty cool

 

i just like how he did it live.

this is still AOTY, btw.

 

Agreed. It's hard to compete with. It didn't grab me the same way "Skelethon" did right off the bat, but it definitely grew on me.
