Quark Posted December 11, 2020 Report Share Posted December 11, 2020 It's a tick against the Swift effort for me. Diving into Avalanches now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hutchmaster Posted December 11, 2020 Report Share Posted December 11, 2020 Need to give the whole album a listen, but loving the Phoebe Bridgers track on Cudi's new album. On Taylor, I'm not really feeling Evermore. Quite liked Folklore and stick it on every now and again, but Evermore just isn't really doing it for me. Nothing seems to be standing out in the same way Cardigan, Exile etc did on Folklore. Even the track with The National didn't really grab me and they're one of my favourite bands. It was a pleasant enough listen and I may give it another crack, but can't see myself going back to it much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overall really enjoyed it, will be somewhere in my AOTY top ten. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read earlier that despite selling over 500,000 copies the band still don't receive anything from streaming sites as all of the money still goes to the record label. Mental!

I imagine that story is true for a lot of bands around that time, one minute selling out academies and regularly appearing on Soccer AM, the next penniless and reading a Vice w*nker refer to your music as landfill. Tough business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really? Have to say every chance the Gorillaz one ends up in my Top 10 albums certainly a couple of the tracks could easily make my top 10 songs and actually as far as album covers go it was a smasher as well!!

Billy Corgan's Ego Posted December 11, 2020 Report Share Posted December 11, 2020 We Will Always Love You is a wonderful listen. What a piece of art. One of my favourite 'first listens' of any album for a long long time 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noeliam Posted December 12, 2020 Report Share Posted December 12, 2020 (edited) I had the incredible chance to find a job in the music industry in Montreal 2 weeks before lockdown back in march. I didn't work for two months then came back full time to the office on June 1st and didn't stop since. I am assistant coordinator for Constantinople, a very musical ensemble based in Montreal, whose artistic director is setar player Kiya Tabassian. I know it's self promotion but I take pride to talk about Kiya. Not only he is a incredible human being, he is also a musical genius. Constantinople has released 19 albums and has performed more than 50 creations since 1998. It's also literally a geographical journey, with collaborations with traditional artists from numerous countries. I could post them all but I will limit myself with three of my favorites: - Breathings. Inspired by sounds of nature. Among numerous performers, we notably have Tuvan throat singer Mongun-ool Ondar. - Another one of my favorite is Under the Persian Musical Sky. A setar duo with his teacher Kayhan Kalhor. Fascinating how they dialogue. - Last one, Crossings, a collaboration with Senegalese kora player Ablaye Cissoko. I would love some feedback! :) thanks!
