First time I've seen them live and they were phenomenal, would love to see them at Glastonbury somewhere. I know nothing by Crazy P, other than heartbreaker which is an absolute belter. Any recommendations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quark Posted November 20, 2016 Report Share Posted November 20, 2016 Really, really, really surprised by how much I enjoyed Bruno Mars' album. I don't know how I feel about that if I'm honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best album is 'When We On' (which heartbreaker amongst others is on). The most recent album 'Walk Talk Dance Sing' is also very good as well as there first under the P name 'Stop space return' My favourite songs other than heartbreaker are: Cruel Mistress, Never Gonna Reach Me, Eruption, Open For Service and Twisted (all on those three albums) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WS_Jack_III Posted November 21, 2016 Report Share Posted November 21, 2016 Justice album certainly follows a vibe laid out by those 3 tracks that were released before. I like it, like others have said though, doesn't seem like they'll top Cross. Really hoping to see them in 2017. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other of the two is poor. Tracklist looks exciting with Kendrick on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoTWire Posted November 21, 2016 Report Share Posted November 21, 2016 On 11/20/2016 at 1:17 AM, FloorFiller said: yeah likewise. that first album was a breath of fresh air when it came out and just sounded like nothing else, whereas now they sound like an awful lot of other stuff. there are a couple of recent songs that i enjoy but their two latest albums as a whole haven't been up to much i thought. like you though i'd still like to see em live if they were to play a festival or something if only for those Treats songs Saw them live a few years back (with Charli XCX in support!), and they were really good fun. Would definitely see them again if they played Glastos. One of the wonders of the internet is people can give Bruno Mars a listen without committing to buying an album and hear how good he is (or bad if they don't like it). I reckon he'd put on a great live show. I live my musical life through Recommendations and SXSW showcases, so I have no idea how big he is, I'm assuming number 1 singles and such mean he is headliner or sub headliner material? Rather than a West Holt funk/soul/party vibe headliner? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giantkatestacks Posted November 21, 2016 Report Share Posted November 21, 2016 Someone at work has mentioned this lot to me: It's not new obvs but new to me.Its like how I imagine Sigur Ros would be 500 years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjsell Posted November 22, 2016 Report Share Posted November 22, 2016 New unreleased prince song from the 80s released today. Many more to come or one off? It's nothing special btw, but still nice to hear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikkic Posted November 22, 2016 Report Share Posted November 22, 2016 Just doing my first draft for top 10 albums of the year, it's really not been a stellar year IMO. There's been some really good stuff, but nothing mindblowing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted to have a look at how many times I'd listened to each album on Spotify, like how you can do on iTunes, but I don't think that's a thing.

I used to use Last.fm which is compatible with Spotify, but since I joined Apple Music I've lost the facility to scrobble. It was good to use as a gauge for what would be my AOTY, i.e. my most played, otherwise it can change dependent on my mood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

priest17 Posted November 22, 2016 Report Share Posted November 22, 2016 Great year for me, subjective though innit? The sheer volume of albums I've loved and played to death is stupendous. I'm gonna have to take a few days to listen to the best of to narrow it to 10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
