Haha. This board is a joke, as is the whole internet, and 90% of this board doesn't like Newsom, or know who she is, or care about her existance. So, it's no surprise that a thread that starts with pictures of her hot ass would end with stories about her drinking man juice.

Either way, I actually don't mind her music for the most part, but this album is a bloated, tired mess.

imagine a co-headlining world tour of Joanna Newsom and Regina Spektor.

Holy fuck would there be boundless jailbait at the shows. . . what a sin

It would be like Kids of Whitney High but not.

why can't tori read?

After listening to all of them, I don't think it's necessarily a 'bad' thing. Just something for me to get used to. The new album is clean and smooth. Not as many overly-obnoxious notes, which to me are like landmarks throughout the story. Her voice seems less 'stressed' to me.

I've been really baked the entire time, though.

well there's a very good reason as to her voice changing.

Newsom developed vocal cord nodes in spring 2009, and all that came out when she opened her mouth “was like the hiss on opening a Coke can”.... On recovering, she mourned when she realised that her old voice was never coming back, though she says she must give “full disclosure” and admit that further vocal modifications have been deliberate.

She wasn't allowed to speak or cry for 2 months.

well you're a NYC guy, go seek out Andy Samberg and ask if Joanna's improved after her ordeal.

So, how about that HOOM then?

A girl going 2 months without crying? That has to be a lie.

I'm no prude, and I love a good laugh, but HOW did this thread become such an embarrassment? This isn't the level of SY Gossip that I am used to.

you haven't been here long enough, dude

This thread actually has more actual musical discussion than probably any other thread on the whole board aside from perhaps the Sun City Girls thread.

Joanna Newsom reminds me of the type of girl who likes dudes to shit on her chest.

this album is good, but her other material is alot better. this seems like it's lacking intensity to me, which was abundant in her other work

i'm getting a trace of nick drake vibe from this one,and also.....this is a weird fucking comparison and i'm probably way off but.....minnie riperton

i think there's a few tracks that are like 6-8 minutes long, which are boring until the last 2 minutes when they get awesome. i love a good climax but it would be nice if the rest of the track was almost as interesting.

i don't think the album length is an issue, i would probably be harder on it if it were short and appreciate that she gave us a larger volume of music. but if the best 60 mins was made into a single album.....it still wouldn't be as good as her other albums

My feeling about it is quite opposite to wellcharges;

I will never be able to listen to the claustraphobic Ys ever again. HOOM breathes, takes it's time, has a coffee and cigarette....

This has simmering quiet intensity.....an intensity that sneaks up on you, rather than batting you over the head. (Ys)

BUT....I've only listened to disc 1. :) I plan to hear each disc many times before moving to the next disc.

Still, disc 1 alone is a revelation to me. Far more mature, honest and personal than Ys.

yeah. that's what my girlfriend's ass looks like, actually.

LOL @ the comments saying he's too hot for her.

OH MY GOD!
ID LEARN TO
PLAY ANY INSTRUMENT
JUST TO HAVE ANDY
PULL MY STRINGS =]]]

have one piece of garbage on me
