Shame - Food for Worms [what? They (mostly) stopped with the talk-singing?!?!? They're dead to me now]

yeah... Drunk Tank Pink was amazing. This one is lacking in energy and cohesiveness. We already have a lot of bands who are doing what they are doing on this album. What they were doing before was more interesting. It's like they wanted to follow in the direction of Fontaines D.C. and slow down a bit but it doesn't land as well.

Disagree. I feel like it’s a nice change of pace album. IMO better comp is The Hold Steady, their first two album are fantastic but Boys & Girls In America was the album that showed me that Craig Finn could actually sing and he has done an great job incorporating the straight singing AND the talking-singing ever since. I feel like this is a similar path forward for The Shame.

Also, Fontaines DC is alright but I don’t find them nearly as viscerally appealing as The Shame.

To each their own 🤷 because I love the retro funk and 80's R&B vibe of the album! Bless This Mess is another chapter of U.S. Girls' consistent evolution!

I sadly think I’m a Poem was a fluke, it’s an all time favorite album for me and is one of the few albums I’d give a 10/10. The rest of her discography isn’t necessarily bad by any means, I do enjoy every release, just none of them get even close to in a poem. The rest of her albums (including bless this mess) are super messy and the tracks have a huge range of quality, but the good is always great and I will always be interested in what she does next

The past two weeks. Busy at work. Q1 list is rounding out nicely thanks to a couple of you.

🔥
  • Chasms - Glimpse of Heaven [beautiful, ethereal, wonderful. Like, perfect for a night drive. Thank you @Kris for highlighting]
  • Khotin - Release Spirit [first time I've listened to one of his in full, and now I have a new downtempo/ambient rabbit hole it seems]
  • Takashi Kokubo (小久保隆), Andrea Espreti - Music for a Cosmic Garden [Kokubo never fails to make environmental sensory magic]
  • Model/Actriz - Dogsbody [thanks, @musicjunkiegreg. This is the one RBF that was surefire excellent]
  • Ulthar - Anthronomicon [yayayay a metal album I love from this year! Very good and pummeling, with some timely situated ambient sections]
👍
  • Algiers - Shook
  • John Bence - Archangels [I might move this one up, very impressed on a second runthrough]
  • En Attendant Ana - [thanks for this one also, @musicjunkiegreg. Might move this one up with more visits]
  • Fakear - Talisman
  • Gezan - あのち [weird, but oddly enjoyable?]
  • The Necks - Travel
  • otay: onii - 夢之駭客 Dream Hacker [freaky as fuck]
  • Ulthar - Helionomicon [also very good, but it can be a little overwhelming with the two tracks being ~20min each with no break to catch a breath]
🤷‍♂️
  • BIG | BRAVE - Nature Morte
  • Gorillaz - Cracker Island
  • Insomnium - Anno 1696
  • Seaming To - Dust Gatherers [with it being art pop, I wanted to like it so much more. It ended up sounding kooky and overdramatic for long segments]
  • Shame - Food for Worms [what? They (mostly) stopped with the talk-singing?!?!? They're dead to me now]
  • Snow Ghosts - The Fell
  • Sunny War - Anarchist Gospel [not for me. I recognize Allison Russell's talent plenty, but it's not for me]
  • Venamoris - Drown in Emotion
👎
  • Andy Shauf - Norm
  • Liquid Sound Company - Cosmic Worlds
  • Quasi - Breaking the Balls of History
🤮
  • U.S. Girls - Bless This Mess [a mess indeed. The transformation from the wonderful In a Poem Unlimited to this uninspired brand of synthpop is a gargantuan tumble in quality. Incredibly disappointing and unappealing]
