  • my opinion on black midi was kinda soiled by the fact i listened to mannequin pussy's amazing new album before it so i was kinda bound for dissapointment.. its a great album
    black midi seem like good music to yell to...

    they are probably even better live if that youtube video is to say anything

    I keep coming back to it so I'm gonna have to pull the trigger on the vinyl soon. I just still cringe a little with the singers voice sometimes. First track he reminds me of Adam Sandler.

    I think it's enough on the experimental/math rock/post rock side instead of prog wankery for me at least. (As someone who has a hard time with a lot of prog)
    Can we not have an angry day every other week or so VMP

    It's honestly exhausting

    No they didn't

    I read the email

    No mention of selling out

    Let me clarify, I meant they SHOULD HAVE said it was sold out on the announcement, there is no way they didn't know that before sending it out. Its BS to navigate people to something you know is already gone. My opinion of course ;)

    I think it is all around cruddy mccruderson. But I'm sure they'll just repress more. Even though Mr. What Would You Do With More Time said they would never do that.

    I enjoyed it. Went in with zero expectations and found it to be very entertaining

    im guessing polo G, lil nas x, and slowthai either didn't apply or said no

    slowthai and lil nas x were the biggest disappointments not being in the class

    like legit slowthai had a big year, he was on both flumes mixtape and tylers new album, as well as having a pretty decent debut album (im not big into grime but i do know it was pretty good for what it was)

    did he just decline or did they seriously not think of him

    im almost certain lil nas X declined though
    bad news is yes UGK is either CD artwork or a JPEG
    good news is i was offered free credits for it
    bad news is i was already cancelling my sub so i wouldn't have a reason for it

    they said it was the only thing the label will give them.. and with that i say "you know they're cheaping out on you right?"

    I'd almost rather see some high quality reinterpretation over that grainy photo - kind of like the reimagined VMP Main Source - pays homage to the original but unique. There are def some albums that it would be sacrilegious to do that w/ but I feel UGK would be alright.

    i mean thats basically what they did with pygmallion with the reflective art
    i think i might be a metalcore fan... converge really are getting me into it
    i think king crimson is just a victim of overhype it seems... or maybe im just not big on progressive rock. maybe both, i dunno.. but i expected some life changing perfection that everyone keeps claiming it is, meanwhile i got bored of it 2 songs in
    so is die a legend this years mudboy? a flash in the pan artist getting BNM from pitchfork just so they seem relevant

    personally think Die a Legend is way better than Mudboy, but then again I'm not a fan of Sheck Wes

    I really enjoyed Die A Legend and thought Mudboy was so so. There's nothing on DAL as fun as Mo Bamba though.
    after 4 whole years with VMP.. i finally cancelled my subscription.. no bad blood with them, just the excitement has died. if they have an exciting exclusive i'll still buy it later on and take the shipping cost and probably just swap my essentials pick for the hip hop ROTM

    Honestly...I don't really miss my subscription much at all. Certainly not as much as I thought I would all the years I had it and had zero intention of cancelling. Kind of liberating actually.

    @duke86fan Alice Coltrane, Darrell Banks, James Booker, Lightmen Plus One. I have others I want to get, even non-classics (William Bell, Donald Byrd, TV On The Radio, Living Legends to name a few) but they're cheaper on Discogs, so I can reduce my tracks quicker without worrying. The four I listed before are semi-expensive on Discogs, so sticking it out until I can get them.

    I haven't opened Darrell Banks yet. Stax overload.
