Seriously, I have been playing this on Spotify almost every day. I can’t stop listening to it. I finally went ahead and ordered a physical copy because I have been playing it so much.

I just finished my third listen today! One bonus to having a nearly 4 hour round trip on the docket for today. It's literally been every second album I've listened to today.

My top so far:

1. The Tubs
2. Caroline Polachek
3. Murder Capital
4. Lil Yachty
5. Parannoul
6. Liv.e
7. Raye (would be higher if I could play this in the house, but the adult content prevents it. Sounds good in my car, though)
8. Belle and Sebastian

That Tubs record is solid. Sounds a bit like Richard Thompson.
 
New Andy Shauf is mid (as the kids say). I've given it 3 full listens and it's just not as good as his previous albums. It's too sleepy. The only decent song is "Halloween Store". He's sooooo good at mid-tempo tunes. See also "Try Again", "Quite Like You", "Living Room", "Neon Skyline" etc. Maybe it'll be a grower, but maybe it's just missing some energy.

I did the one listen and felt the exact same way. Thinking I'll give another chance on a nice spring day.

I'm two and a half listens with it and it's definitely been better each time but still hasn't grabbed me as hard I'd hoped. Planning to spend more time with it still, though.
 
Week 7 Update!

One album dropped off the list, but three
RBFs were added to the list. The other four albums remained on the list for another week.
