e-40 is NEVER boring and he got like 50 albums now! Maybe I'm just too hood like that.. biased

nurse with wound.
havent in a very long time. years actually.

great, just great.

chocolate ladyland, sweet jesus the top two are good. FF not really what I wanted from them but having followed them for so long it's a development which is wholly welcome. armed courage is just another fucking classic from a band who are certainly among the greatest of all time at this point. since I last paid out halcyon digest on here it's gained a bit of respect in my eyes (mainly because monomania is perhaps the worst album I've ever heard in my life, seriously), not because of its songs but rather a renewed like for its atmosphere, that feeling it perpetuates. still not a patch on microcastle/weird era, much less cryptograms and fluorescent grey.


brilliant when you're absolutely and utterly fucking miserable. stone island is also fantastic, can't even begin to think about how I should digest these records given the history of hype (RIP my lovers, the last visionaries of pop)

sorry dewds

Armed Courage is seriously the best Dead C album I have heard. Better than H7R, better than The White House, better than all of them.

Holy shit this is great. I've been really digging Sub Pop's newer "loud rock" signings (this, METZ, Pissed Jeans, No Age, even Dum Dum Girls)

I was comparing In Ute with Bleach and Nevermind, two propulsively listenable albums. In Utes is like a dirge I don;t wanna hear. Mudhoney does dirges better than In Utero in their sleep.

Probably. Yeah. But Nirvana made better songs and better albums, and were a better band with a better name, a better overall and better lyrics and more unique sound than Mudhoney will ever be capable of creating.

I fucking love Mudhoney, but comparing them to Nirvana really just isn't fair. It's like saying Zorro could beat up Batman. Mudhoney did a lot of amazing things, and I don't think the true magnitude of their greatness has even been realized yet. But come on, man. Nirvana has them beat.

In Utero is NOT a dirge, it is more noise (Radio Friendly Unit Shifter) and feedback (Francis Farmer Will Have Her Revenge on Seattle, Serve of the Servants, tourette's) than Nevermind or Bleach were. In that regard, you'd think the Sonic Youth community would love it even more!! I think In Utero better reflects a Nirvana live stageshow than Nevermind does..

I quite liked the singles that came out before this LP but this is better.

Kurdt would have loved His Electro Blue Voice. Don't ask me how I know.

fkn awesome yes

I'll probably listen to that about 4 more times through the rest of the day.

It's not a competition.
