Los Campesinos! - All Hell (July 19, 2024) Album • Page 12

Boy would you hate my ranking. I'll post it later so you have time to prepare

 

I need to listen to those earlier records again. I heard about them during Hello sadness, really started following them during No Blues, and loved Sick Scenes

 

Oh shit, is it time for another ranking?

Romance is Boring
All Hell
Hello Sadness
No Blues
Sick Scenes
Hold On Youngster = We Are Beautiful…

 

Oh boy I’m #2!

No Blues
All Hell
Romance is Boring
Sick Scenes
Hello Sadness
WABWAD
Hold on Now Youngster

I think #2-#5 are pretty interchangeable, but All Hell and Romance is Boring are unbelievably good, and whilst I love a lot of songs off of the first two records, I don't think Gareth sounds anywhere as good as on the later records, and I don't think I've ever vibed as much with the twee indie chaos (although it's super fun) as the self deprecating, politically forward, wrestling and football referencing emo on the latter.

 

This obviously also rules, and a perfect time to play!

^and that is unbiased because I heard them all for the first time this year.

No Blues might be 2 actually that one is Melodic bliss

 

Man I was so into No Blues when it came out in 2013 but have barely revisited since. Should fix that.

 

I very nearly included this in my ranking haha. An absolute classic

 

No blues is my top

 

Been waiting 17 years for tonight, fuuuuuuck

 

Enjoy!

 

Absolutely fucking ridiculous show oh my god. Live debut of Hung Empty and 24 songs with the crowd picking the first encore.

 

Hell yea brother

 

I'm going to night 2 of the London Valentines shows tonight. Night 1 got All Hell in full for the first and only time so I'm completely gutted to miss that, but still really excited - hoping they pull out some deep cuts to make up for us missing out on All Hell lol.

 

feels like I've been waiting 100 years for a live video of this song

 

Also: it's only been six weeks since 2024 ended but if I did a rerank of my aoty list this would be #3 (at lowest) and still climbing I think

 

It's pushing for top 3 of the half decade for me

 

10/10 no notes
