foolish!

 

Yeah I’ve never been a Taylor fan but that album is all my wife and I have listened to this weekend. Some really, really good stuff on there.

 

this was a good listen

 

Holy shit

 

Love the Birbigs. I’ll have to check that out.

 

The podcast in general is extremely worth listening to. Every episode has been great.

 

New Taylor reminded me that I never really spent much time with the last two releases from these guys beyond the first few initial listens. Both records just came out during weird times for me and they got lost in the shuffle. Been spending all day rectifying that and what a joy it has been.

 

SWB is my favorite album of theirs, jealous of you lol

 

Sleep Well Beast is really, really fucking good.

 

Huge return to form after the two relatively mediocre records preceding it

 

TWFM is great and HV is pretty good still. Though i agree they’re probably the two least exciting entries in their classic run to me.

 

uhhhhh

 

brain worms

 

I love most things by this band, but Trouble Will Find Me still is #1 for me.

I would have a hard time arguing against other entries holding that spot though.

 

haha man, calling HV and TWFM "mediocre" has me stunned

 

I've heard some takes in my day, but even that one made me step back.

 

Especially implying SWB is massively better than those two? Wild

 

That's the only part of that post that isn't egregious!

 

how can an album that sounds nothing like their previous material be a return to form

 

This was my initial thought too lmao

 

SWB slander is forbidden

 

SWB >>>

 

Any of their albums from Alligator on could be my favorite on any given day except for I Am Easy To Find

 

I am easy to find is maybe my favorite at this point.

 

easily my least favorite since the debut
