same, it's really just an intricately made dance album, but that goes a long way for me

Same here. I liked Chicken Sandwich's description of it, excluding all the haunting/eerie stuff.

To each his own, I suppose. Maybe it's the atmosphere in which i've listened to the album, or the mood I was in at the time, but i've always found parts of the album to be rather bleak. I guess it's just me.

I think the alteration of lines in the first 2 opening tracks (since I met you I found the world so new/since I left you I found the world so new) is a good example since those lines carry two entirely different sentiments. And then stay another season has bits that are pretty gloomy sounding as well.

Now this I have thought about, but the good feelings of the actual music just drown any ambiguity of that line out for me.

Elvis Presley - Elvis Presley

Image

Despite this album changing the face of music (literally) it has aged horribly. The album bears no thought to sequencing, and despite it being a different time for albums, it doesn't really hold up in today's world. The digital remastering also pushes Presley's vocals to the forefront where all the worst qualities are brought out, particularly on his cover of "Blue Moon" which reduces the ballad into a shamble of muffled music and forced vibrato. The Presley that can really bring a room down ("Heartbreak Hotel", "Jailhouse Rock") is fairly absent here (he occasionally shows up in the first half of the record), and what's left is a sad reminder that innovative material can sound stagnant after time gets ahold of it. It's not just that this is '50s rock that dates this (Buddy Holly still sounds awesome today), but that Elvis was an inconsistent artist, and despite what this album did for music it's only essential for its historical context rather than its quality.

Scott Walker - Bish Bosch

Image

A very Lynch influenced take on Walker's past and present, in which he blatantly recalls his creatively bankrupt years as well as making the aspect of your balls shriveling up as you get older absolutely terrifying (no, I'm not kidding). It's his most personal and his most fun album (something you'd probably never expect from Walker). With all the references to finality, this may very well be his last album, but rather than make some huge, apocalyptic, gothic epic Walker goes for a tongue-in-cheek approach to his blocks of sound. His vocals are wild this time around, sometimes vicious, sometimes drunk, sometimes screaming, sometimes bitter, but he delivers everything with a wink and a nod. A very strange album indeed, especially for those who thought he would sink deeper into the nightmare world he explored on Tilt and The Drift. His compositions don't necessarily have the same shock value on Bish Bosch, but Walker's grotesque approach to songwriting is well in tact. This is what 21st century music should sound like.

Visions - Grimes

I'm used to being disappointed by things that are hyped up by so many people to be spectacular. Maybe it's because I end up setting the bar so high, that nothing can really compare to my expectations. It happens when everyone is saying that something is "flawless" or "amazing". I usually end up finding it lacking in some way. Usually.

Not this time.

I've never heard anything quite like Visions before in my life. It's an album that just creates an atmosphere I can get into. The music is relentless and engaging, but it's Grimes's voice that makes this album for me. The vocals just soar above everything else, so fragile and crystalline: like a window into another world. Consider me a believer.

It's on its way. I actually grabbed it off Slsk like Wanta, I still use that program quite frequently because spotify doesn't have everything.

EDIT - I thought this was quite funny

"I started thinking about Bish Bosch, and it means sorted or job done. But bish also means bitch in urban slang. You'll hear a lot of guys say, 'This is my bish.' Then, of course, I used the Bosch 'cos of the artist, so I thought, well, this is a wonderful image of a universal woman artist."

Also

What does he listen to these days? "I'll listen to someone like Radiohead. I love them. Or Animal Collective, or someone like that."

Also

"I've made three records in the same atmosphere, and I feel I have to do something really different next time. Just for my own stimulation, something lighter. Maybe a dance record."
