If Feels Like Summer is any indication then I guess we're headed to the 5th one where it's just the 3rd era but worse

When I saw them at Hyde Park in '15 they had that ice cream truck on stage, and Damon was actually handing out ice cream to people in the front rows. I was in the 10-15 row range and I was sure I was going to get crushed to death

I thought Peter Pan was completely fine. Chemistry isn't very good but it isn't that bad either. Those two Infinite Contents parts are pretty awful though

Mura Masa's album is the actual "playlist of the summer". my boy got robbed

WTF happened with this band though? They used to be great and every album of theirs since The Satanic Satanist has been considerably shittier than the one before. This new one which is just basically Foster the Portugal the People-Man

I swear I thought she was Scandinavian or something of the sorts. Which is why I was always surprised that her English is flawless. Figures

Put Your Money On Me is the best track on that album in my opinion but WDDL is also fantastic

Yeah, this is what I think. It's not their best by any means, it's definitely their weakest offering. But it's not a "bad" album, it definitely has replay value, and some of the tracks are even great. Do I want them to stay in this direction? Hell no. But I enjoyed listening to this for the most part. I could've done without the two Infinite Contents though and maybe some more jams that sound like the back half (although I'd say that the first 4 tracks flow very nicely even though I hate when all the singles are grouped together)

The Real Estate album, while being their weakest since the debut, is still stronger then the Spoon album. Hot Thoughts had some incredible tracks (the two singles were two of this year's best songs IMO) but too much filler for a pretty short tracklist

I meant to write "stupid pun" but the first sound also sounds like a stupid punk song so that's ok too

Honestly expected way worse from that description and everything I read beforehand. Peter Pan is completely fine. The worst track(s) so far have been the two Infinite Content parts because nothing about them seems to work, from the stupid punk to the bland vocal delivery

sorry but you're slipping into hyperbole here. Is it good? not really. Do I remember what it sounds like after the first play? definitely not. But did it cause me to re-check whether Spotify mistakenly went into shuffle mode like Pistol? It definitely did not. Pistol was actively head-ache inducing where this is just a case of a mediocre song

Please stop trying to milk this single, it sucked in March too ): The White Album was so fucking good, I really thought it was a step back in the right direction

Exactly the same for me, down to restoring for the first time not so long ago and being scared as hell about it. I've just started using Spotify a couple months ago but still log more plays on my iPod. I just can't imagine myself without it. When I was traveling for 5 months without much internet access it was my best friend. I just wish Apple would realise there's still a crowd for their large storage iPods. Just make way less of those and we'll all be happy

This one belongs to Sampha. Killer album, amazing live show, seems like an all around great dude

I agree. It's like in 2013 when every single article mentioned Kanye. Only difference is, Yeezus was actually a good album

I only really finally got Veckatimest last year while listening to it a whole fucking lot when traveling in China. Something just clicked differently there. Foreground seemed somehow even impossibly prettier

I'd say Grizzly Bear rank above Dirty Projectors, and personally i'd rank Veckatimest above MPP, but I know that's not the common opinion

What he's essentially saying about EDM is that none of those songs have staying power. Sure, the sound might make an unfortunate comeback at one point, but no one will remember those songs from a few years ago the way we do at other contemporary hits

I mean, except for that Grizzly Bear thing, he's spot on about everything. Especially about Ashton Kutcher

I saw Converge live last month, that was a concert I'd never thought I'd get to witness as they never play anywhere near here and mostly play metal festivals in Europe which I never attend. Such an incredible band, It's so good to have them back. "Eve" is such a fucking beast.

I caught them live last Saturday and they were way better then they had any right to be. I'm not all that into those infinite Slash solos anymore, but Axl sounded mostly great and the band was extremely tight and they held up really well for 3 goddamn hours. The Appetite songs were of course better then anything else (though hearing Novemeber Rain love is quite something)

What an amazing, incredible and extremely emotional show. I'm so glad to have been there. I have much to say but I just got back and it's fairly late, so I just want to share one story with you all: I was standing fairly up close (I'd say 6-7th row). The crowd around me was great and ecstatic. But my favorite part of possibly the whole night was when they played No Surprises. When they got to "Bring down the government part", everyone that I could hear or see around me raised their voices to a shout, and we all sang together, "they don't speak for us". Considering all the controversy this show brought, I thought that was an extremely powerful and exciting moment

Went with Slide, though for my money it could also be Cash Out. Humble is second, but it's also going to show up on most SOTY lists so I'm cool with it not owning the summer solely

Yeah, it's either Slide or Cash Out, though tbh all songs on that record are very summery and very fun

Kanye performed in Israel in 2015. I guess that kind of answers it
