Day 355: Malibu by Anderson .Paak (Album Choice: IamMe90)

Shortest turnaround for a request ever, maybe? Not in terms of days (at all), just total number of reviews between. This conveniently fits into my mission of listening to as many 2016 albums as possible which starts today. My art school friend told me this guy sounds like a new James Brown. Ballsy comparison, that's gonna make anyone expect gold vibrations. Hopefully this sounds nothing like the rapist-murderer in my night terrors (The Weeknd). Let's go.

The Bird is a fantastic pop song. As is The Season / Carry Me. The production overall is just phenomenal, lively yet laidback, with horns, keyboards and backing vocals all complementing .Paak's vocal performance splendidly while simultaneously holding their own. Vocal performance does not remind of James Brown but then again the only song of his I actually remember is I Feel Good. Where did those expectations even come from? I've gotta check some singles out after this album. Anderson's got a good singing voice, and he's able to come off as sexual without coming off full-on slimy most of the time (one exception being Silicon Valley). His features vary in quality like you'd expect them to.

This is REALLY shitty homework music. But it's good music. 61 minutes was maybe more than a little bit excessive, and I think this album would benefit greatly from removing the boring filler shit like Water Fall (Interluuube). That being said, it certainly never became torturous and stayed incredibly enjoyable throughout. I would fuck to Room In Here without questioning my hipster status... Why did I write that sentence?

Best Track: Toss-up between The Bird and Room In Here
Rating: 8/10

Re: Read My Reviews

yo guys can you recommend me some of the best and worst 2016 albums?

Re: Read My Reviews

My favourite might be the latest PUP record. Haven't listen to a lot of new stuff but I liked Car Seat Headrest, Vektor, Deakin, Trap Them, Weezer, Oathbreaker, Oranssi Pazuzu and Bowie.

Others were alright or slightly disappointing. Nothing I've heard was horrible except that Corey Feldman record, which was honestly, only good for a laugh.

Day 356: Horse Jumper of Love by Horse Jumper of Love

After 6 days, I decided to stop #NoPorn2.0 because I'm going to have my own room very shortly. Seemed like decent enough justification, I'll start again when I go back to school.

In the search for the best of 2016 (yeah I'm definitely not quitting once I reach my long-belated goal), it's actually somewhat surprising and even embarrassing I haven't listened to this one yet considering the fact I almost went but unfortunately failed to see these guys live on at least three separate occasions despite being too goddamn lazy to listen to any of their songs. Word of mouth is a powerful thing.

Very laidback album, doesn't sound derivative, performances are confident and this thing is just about the perfect length at 26 minutes to not get boring. This isn't one I'm gonna pull out often though, as a matter of fact I'm more excited to think about where they could go in the future than to listen to this one again. With the exception of highlight Bagel Breath these guys are just too content with maintaining a single image.

I'll be fair and say pretty much every local bands I know didn't have the strongest of debuts anyways.

Best Track: Bagel Breath

Day 357: Coloring Book by Chance The Rapper (Album Choice: Well, I know several people told me to listen to it)

Another one that's long overdue. I'm done now, so let me tell you, this right here is a perfect example of failing to live up to the hype. After thoroughly enjoying both Acid Rap and Surf, and after at least fifty people telling me this album was his "best yet" or something similar, I found myself bored to tears by the constant gospel influence here. This is certainly a notch better than 10 Day and his earliest releases but that's barely saying anything. Gonna cherry pick the best tracks out of this one and go back to psychedelia where I belong.

Best Track: Angels

THANK YOU.

i thought the gospel was way too omnipresent and uninteresting on this album. that being said, i was disappointed by acid rap too; didn't really think it lived up to all the hype i heard about

Day 358: Teens Of Denial by Car Seat Headrest (Album Choice: noname219)

Why did these guys generate a buzz? Let's see.

yo getting good grades for the first time ever is MAD weird

I haven't found any reason for these guys blowing up other than "they're good" so okay then. They ARE good. These are good indie rock songs, with lots of fuzz, noise, and anthemic choruses. Strangely, the most boring tracks were the shorter ones, including the opener. I thought H Jon Benjamin was featuring on The Ballad Of The Costa Concordia but I suppose not.

I expect this one to grow on me. It's really not a wower first go around but it is VERY consistently catchy which is rare. Will update rating later.

Best Track: Very close tie between Vincent and The Ballad Of The Costa Concordia
Rating: 6.5/10

Day 359: Bottomless Pit by Death Grips (Album Choice: Anthony F.)

Did I make that album choice joke before?

Merry Christmas. Is anybody actually offended by the phrase "Merry Christmas"? I have a fuckton of super PC friends but I've only witnessed people self-censoring, never actually getting offended by the word Christmas. I see far more people getting offended by the absence of the word Christmas than vice versa.

Death Grips has always been mood music for me in that they can hit the spot when the time's right but I have no desire to listen to them 99.7% of the time especially considering how same-y they can feel. My brain is slowly detaching from reality so now's as good a time as ever for this I suppose.

This album is their most melodic release yet, which I like. Zach Hill has always been my favorite part of this band (NO LOVE DEEP WEB is my favorite release) and he shines for sure, but I've never been this impressed with Morin who really managed to make this sound fresh. Can't say I'm any more or less impressed with Ride this time around. Also can't say I'm expecting to pull this one out with a lot more frequency than other Death Grips albums.

Almost definitely not going on my year end list.

Best Track: Giving Bad People Good Ideas

Day 360: Requiem by Goat

First listen and I'm not sure what to make of this one. I enjoyed it but I don't have much to say... I'm gonna try this one again later.

Tried again. Eh, it's good and trippy. I'll probably like this a lot more if I listen to it tripping. Sober, it's too long and wanky. I'll give this one a few more shots.

Best Track: I Sing In Silence
