I just said it not long ago but the Network album is so fucking good, everybody listen if you haven't
This album made me appreciate 21CBD more than I ever have. So much that I felt the need to purchase it on vinyl lol. The production on 21CBD is awesome too. Never really paid much attention to it until this past week or so.
Wow I really dislike the 21CBD production. I'm a lil surprised to see so much praise. Different strokes! To my ears it's the worst of 2010 trends; super fake gridded drums, harsh over limited guitar sounds, excessively treated vox, big yuck over here. I do really like the squishy acoustic in See The Light and the Before The Lobotomy intro is cool, can't groove w them main guitars tho... I'm a big Butch (and CLA) fan too, it's a drag. I love White Crosses from that era. This kinda sound works there, but doesn't connect for me on 21CBD.
I just think it's catchy and fun as hell lol and it's interesting to hear them try a totally different sound. I love Supermodel Robots, Roshambo, Spike, Teenagers from Mars (I know it's a cover), Transistors Gone Wild, Spastic Society and Reto
I started a relisten on my way to work this morning. Got about half way through and it's much better than I remembered.
I know it’s only February, but 2020 has kind of been a let down music-wise so far, compared to the last several years. There’s hasn’t been any albums or singles I’ve immediately loved yet, maybe except for ATL’s SKOD and a three tracks off the upcoming NFG album
I dunno I‘be been digging a number of new albums this year including Beach Bunny, Tame Impala, Dan Deacon, Andy Shauf, but it all depends on your taste.
This year has already given me Anti-Flag, Spanish Love Songs, and Higher Power, so 2020 is okay by me.
