Sasami is usually always great, but I haven't liked many of the singles from this one and I actually cancelled my pre-order of the album until I hear it for myself

Funny, I'm in quite the opposite camp. I've not really enjoyed anything she's put out up until this point. But I keep going back to give her another chance. One of the singles for her new album wasn't too bad either

Yeah I think Sasami is kinda mid at best.

Yeah I think Sasami is kinda mid at best.

We've seen her twice. Once with Japanese Breakfast and once with DIIV. Maybe you just need to see her live first. I bought her debut at the merch table when we saw her with JB and have been a fan ever since. I don't think there's a bad song on those first two albums but nothing has excited me about this new one. I think maybe it's a little too pop.

I have seen her live (opened for Yeule). She struggled to get the audience hyped, even during her energetic songs.
My opinion still stands.

I'm glad you've enjoyed her live. And I appreciate the rec. But I have absolutely no desire to see her live

Edit: just realized your response was to Rip and not me, lol. Regardless, I still feel the same.

Yeah I can't imagine not seeing her with a band. For her set with Japanese Breakfast she had 3 or 4 metal dudes with beards as her band. It was definitely an interesting and memorable performance.

These guys...

Meh… I’ve been to many a show where a great performance did not excite the generally obnoxious crowds these days.

One last thing about Sasami. She's a great producer. She's all over the most recent King Tuff album (who my wife and I are seeing tonight).
