Brockhampton - Roadrunner: New Light New Machine (April 9th 2021) • Page 16

Honestly Count on Me is still my favorite. I did not understand the mixed reviews at ALL.

Count On Me
Don’t Shoot Up the Party
The Light Pt. II
Old News
Buzzcut
Chain On
Bankroll
The Light
Windows
I’ll Take You On
When I Ball
What’s the Occasion
Dear Lord

 

I cannot in good conscience endorse any list with "Chain On" in the bottom three lol

 

I'm sorry but the TD version just absolutely murks it, I just get bored halfway through the RR version with the beat just looping

still better than the absolute nonsense they made out of "Bankroll" lol

 

This album is amazing, I get why people are quick to compare this to their past stuff or wish some of the members were more prominently featured on here but taking it in as it’s own piece of art, it’s dark, chaotic, fun, and has a little bit of what I love about them sprinkled throughout

 

The Joba verse on The Light II is very clearly the centerpiece of this album. As a whole, there's a decent amount to like on here and also a decent amount that sounds like a retread of the stuff they've been doing since SAT1. I'll run it back and see how I feel on a second listen

 

Oh my god lol that’s really something

 

Joba's part in "Old News" is constantly stuck in my head

 

Lil Nas X and Brockhampton are the perfect fit that I for some reason didn't connect until now

 

Kevin retweeted the Pitchfork review and reading it, it just feels like the most backhanded compliment of a review lol. Like basically "The band used to be all over the place and scattered, stuffing too much and then in 2019 Sugar got them their biggest hit! Ohhhhh big numbers, they really should have been focusing on that!!!"

 

Honestly, after their Iridescense review, I couldn't be less interested in P4k's opinion on Brockhampton

 

At least we don't have to read another review where they talk about about how Ameer was their best rapper.

pitchfork is trash

 

he said vinyl probably coming summer

 

Hell yeah

 

daaamn I want this tho

 

Got my box set and it is literally just a box haha

 

But the shirt! lol

 

Haha I do like the shirt and I'm honestly very excited for the CD. My car is so old I have to use an FM transmitter, so to finally hear "Dear Lord" without all the static is going to be great.

 

Kevin just teased vinyl on his story for RR. I need it.

 

It looks soooo good. Really love the cover.

 

That might just be the CD/T-shirt limited edition boxset

 

Yeah, I believe it's just the boxset, but hopefully they keep the cover for vinyl
