thoughts on new Mount Eerie?

tough for me to classify it as a music album, tbh.

 

[RedSoxFaithful]

I liked that new Real Estate album. Really liked that Rostam one.

 

[Say Hey Deac]

Another one I'd add to my list is Slowdive. That album is so damn chill.

It's brutal. I agree with that take. It's a great record, but it's just brutal.

I'm listening to U2's new album "Songs of Experience" and it is not threatening this list, even with a cameo from Kendrick Lamar.

ETA: It's not terrible, just not all that great.

Nobody else likes the new Manchester Orchestra - c'mon, most of you guys are southerners, aren't you?
