The Official Needles and Grooves 1001 Album Generator Project (aka Preachin’ about the Preachers if today’s selection sucks)

[Nee Lewman]

I wish this had been a weekend pull. I feel back to back of Kid A and Amnesiac is what I need to do.

 

[Nee Lewman]

I stand with @dbarila

Yeah, but you are a cryptid.

I wish this had been a weekend pull. I feel back to back of Kid A and Amnesiac is what I need to do.

I fully intend to spin Kid A Mnesia later tonight.

 

[Nee Lewman]

Reading reviews of Amnesiac reminds me to check my expectations at the door. My baggage is not an artist’s baggage. I need to spend some more time with the last Brittney Howard and Rhiannon Giddens albums.

 

[Nee Lewman]

I fully intend to spin Kid A Mnesia later tonight.

Eldest is over tonight and I also got a big ol box from the Plaid sale. I don’t foresee that happening tonight (might have to do it soon though) - I don’t think I even ever listened to the bonus disc.

Eldest is over tonight. I don’t foresee that happening to night (might have to do it soon though) - I don’t think I even ever listened to the bonus disc.

The bonus disc is a little meh. Ironically enough the only time I listened to it is when my Schiit Mani was on the frtiz (as I had mentioned in the Darlington thread) and at that point I thought it was just a weird artistic choice to have the music so heavily panned to one channel

 

[TenderLovingKiller®]

Most reviews of Kid A were written before Amnesiac existed and they are intertwined, so after the fact it makes sense to talk about both.

Seems like Rolling Stone thinks Amnesiac is better but I haven’t finished the review yet. It could have a M Night Shyamalan twist for all I know.

Of course in those instances and I do think the albums are linked for sure but I also think Kid A stands on its own better.

 

[CrazyDiamond84]

I am also team Amnesiac > Kid A, but they are both great.

 

[YoHabloEspanol]

This talk made me realize I need to find that Kid A 10" 2xLP from Parlophone.

I don't own Kid A Mnesia, but the bonus disc contains one of my all time favorite Radiohead songs, Follow Me Around.

I honestly have no idea if I’ve ever listened to this. I like it so far.

 

[Nee Lewman]

Yeah, I’m pretty sure I checked out Lasers back in the day. The only thing I see in last.fm is Drill Music in Zion.

 

[Nee Lewman]

Guy shifts his flow a bunch. Nifty.

He just out a new one,  Samurai, last week.

 

[TenderLovingKiller®]

Yeah, I’m pretty sure I checked out Lasers back in the day. The only thing I see in last.fm is Drill Music in Zion.

That’s the album that features the tune where he samples Modest Mouse “Float On”.

Being as he’s a Chicagoan, I wished I enjoyed his music more. I dig “Kick, Push” a decent amount. Most of his music is good but is lacking the thing that draws me back.

Yeah, that’s been the stand out so far. Most of it kind of sounds like Kanye trying to sound like Jay-Z while rapping about shit Common would rap about. It’s like a Lankum album. But yeah, there’s a spark missing.

 

[Nee Lewman]

There are four versions of this shit on Qobuz.

 

[Nee Lewman]

Was okay.

 

[avecigrec]

Was okay.

Dunno that I've listened to this one, but that's pretty much exactly how I've felt about the other couple releases of his that I've tried.
