That killed her inside at the time a bit i think. Mick Definitely. The knock she got from Kanye I think fuelled her desire to release the best of the best. We forget how young she was, and how humiliating that must have been. She was very low when Reputation wasn't nominated for anything. She's a maddeningly ambitious woman. I see her as very sweet, but soul crushingly self critical. I hope she is like Bette Davis, where one day when she is older, she looks back at herself and smiles warmly. Bette was similarly self critical and self loathing. Sometimes they oddly remind me of each other. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Union 5-3992 Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 (edited) Temples - Sun Structures Even better the second time. On par with the new Lemon Twigs stuff. Edited July 12, 2023 by Union 5-3992 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That one scene was so telling of her personality. Mick When people assume she is just another vapid pop star, I cringe, because the proof she is anything but is obvious everywhere. She did assume Midnights would be looked down on. She has said many times she is very overwhelmed by its success. I get it, it's a smaller record than her previous pop albums, it's more obtuse and less focused. But it has heart, and that is something rare on the charts these days. I feel with her huge success, her next record will likely see her back in confidence and ready to release another really creative high watermark. Her energy and enthusiasm atm is insane. As a long term fan who shares some of her personality issues, it's nice to see. However I don't have her money, sadly 🤣 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Union 5-3992 Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 The Lemon Twigs - Everything Harmony This is such a well done album that lives up to its name though it does fall apart somewhat in the middle. It's super influenced by Brian Wilson and Todd Rundgren. Other throwback bands like Greta Van Fleet still retain this modern quality to them. This album could easily be thrown back into the mid-70s and feel 100% like it belongs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super25Smasher Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 (edited) Carly Cosgrove - See You In Chemistry (Vinyl) EP, I feel this would be up your alley. It's a phenomenal album that mixes Midwest Emo, punk, and math rock. All the song titles are quotes from Drake & Josh, or iCarly. It was one of my favorite albums from last year. I got to see them in March, and I got my records signed. Kesha - Gag Order (Vinyl) A strong contender for my album of the year. This album is very experimental, and is very psychedelic and electronic-influenced. I was absolutely not expecting this from Kesha, but I absolutely love it. Monuments - The Amanuensis Monuments - Phronesis Two very heavy albums. Monuments is progressive metalcore/djent band that's been around for over a decade. I'm seeing them open for Jinjer next month.

Segue Myles Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 James Taylor- That's Why I'm Here Well this was killer. Thanks Mick! Survivor- Premonition I'm copying Mick's homework. Taylor Swift- Midnights I get your issues Mick. I get how her speech like vocals seem tiresome. For this album, if feels conversational and almost like a chat with a friend. But I get you. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segue Myles Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 Iron Maiden- The Number Of The Beast Iron Maiden- Fear Of The Dark Iron Maiden- Somewhere In Time I work 48 hour shifts in a home for children. I do this sometimes three times in 8 days, with a day off in between. I'm shattered. I listen to Taylor Swift and Dan Fogelberg a lot because I can't handle much else. So today I played some Maiden and it was like a cool breeze in the midst of a heatwave! f**k, I loved it! I feel so revitalised! Happy to say that Fear Of The Dark has grown on me a lot. I loved it today! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
