I'm looking forward to hearing that Hard Quartet record, in the meantime, Laz have you listened to that MJ Lendermen record yet, you bitch?

There was one song that had some really good guitar playing for about a minute, outside of that it is so lifeless. At least their other records that I don't like made me feel something momentarily.

Yep, I liked it. Have to give it some more spins though. Voice might take getting used to.

Y e p.
Might be the worst album they’ve ever done, which is saying something as they have some stinkers. I think I liked the first two minutes of the first track and that was it. Just awful the rest of the way through.

Despite Coldplay's immense failures, there's been a few new albums I've been digging lately. Highly recommend giving these a listen.
Nilufer Yanya - My Method Actor: Another absolute winner by Yanya that finds her blowing out her sound into its louder and softer moments. Basically if you liked anything else she's done, you'll probably like this one.
Half Waif - See You at the Maypole: This one surprised me. I've never been into her music, but this sprawling album really hits a sweet spot of emotional vocals and intriguing musical choices that keep me coming back.
Merce Lemon - Watch Me Drive Them Dogs Wild: An album full of beautiful, entrancing folk songs that often contain a layer of discord underneath the surface. I always prefer folk artists who have grit or something going on in the background or foreground. This fits the bill.

Pitchfork has lost its edge man. You can tell that as part of their efforts to stay relevant and financially sustainable, they've had to wind in their criticism to reach wider audiences. Which means Coldplay's new album, which would be an insult to even call muzak, gets a 6.0

Coldplay went on the shopping network QVC to sell and promote their new album. And I received an email offering it for $4.99.
I haven't heard any of it, but those don't seem like good signs to me-to have to market it that way.

At least when U2 went to K-Mart to promote Pop it was satire.

Coldplay have been utter utter shite for years,and they have the biggest selling "rock" tour. Deary me.

I was so hopeful after everyday life that they’d exorcised whatever cancer was eating their talent. Seems like it might be the other way around and the moments of artistry are blips now on a bedrock of glossy, drossy, bubblegum plastic nonsense.

It is absolutely stunning that they released that record when you look at what came before and after it. Unbelievable that they just dropped this mostly really good album with actual songs and no multiverse-reaching bullshit out of nowhere. Sad that they just almost immediately ignored it and moved on from it and went back to releasing garbage. I listen to Arabesque and then anything they've released since and weep.

I'm glad they're not intending to go out with that last garbage album of theirs.

Speaking of Coldplay, I have to say I fucking hate this ever-increasing trend of non-traditional track titles. Coldplay's being doing it for their last two trash albums, Bon Iver probably started it a little bit, a bunch of rappers went ALL CAPS (not even Madvillain did that for the song actually called All Caps) and then Taylor Swift went all lowercase, and now Charli XCX's new Brat record (by the way absolutely loving how much she's captured the zeitgeist) only the first letter of the titles are capitalised. It annoys me to no end.

Yep. Theres some really enjoyable music on that record - Trouble in Town is great as well.
2024 has been bonkers good for music btw. And some exciting stuff from aging artists re-discovering some creativity. I’m loving Nick Cave, Missy Higgins, Father John Misty, The Cure, Paul Kelly and Bleachers atm
