Let me say this right away: I hope that Tom makes a book of this series and that he invites you to publish these recaps of yours as well (you know, like Shea Serrano did with The Rap Yearbook). I would buy several copies of this book in a heartbeat.
Let me add my voice to the chorus of praise that already fills the comments: this is the best thing I have read here’s in a long time. Lord shine your light on me, set me free (stay strong).
It is not fair to say that The Avalanche is better than Illinoise, but it has such a distinct cohesion and character that it's really unfair to consider it as a mere outtake collection. The Avalanche is better than Illnoise.
I stand in awe for reading something like this in Stereogum. Niggas On The Moon is my second favourite DG album right after Government Plates, but this new one has already grabbed me.
By the way: I love listening to DG in low volume, which may sound counter-intuitive.
