I actually wish Jenny Lewis or Chrissy Hynde could read that so he could catch those hands

Or Kim Deal or L7 or Alice Bag or Kim Gordon or Cristina Martinez or Chan Marshall or Mary Timony or the many many other women who are over 40 who have released rock records in the last few years.

I’ve never cared for that dude and that company is hot trash.

Storf just said one of the reasons this album is Essential is "women over 40 don't often get to make rock albums".


I actually need to go spend some time in prayer to decide if I need to reply to this atrocious backslap to women rockers or if the rock gods need my service elsewhere

I wonder what SK and St Vincent would think about that hot take?

What was the deal with Tennis btw? I've heard some people took issue with that one but it was before I joined

For a flip side opinion, it is one of my most spun VMP releases. It was a popular one to hate on for a variety of reasons, but I just love throwing it on this time of year. It's a nice, breezy, sunny summer morning album. Worth a listen if you've never heard it IMHO. It sells for peanuts on Discogs if it grabs you!

I like that one a lot, too. I play it pretty often. I do agree that it wasn't the right album to send out to 20,000 people. I think if it would have been on an exclusive run of like 500, it would be held in higher regard.

What are these reasons? I'm curious because besides @duke86fan just saying "it sucks," I haven't really heard a reason why

I have a descriptive reason on why I think the album sucked, but I can’t be bothered explaining why. It just feels like formulaic, lovey dovey, fake retro music with vocals that have little to no emotion. I think that Tennis wore its influences on its sleeves heavily, but it had they had no character. It’s just bland nostalgia that feels lifeless. I don’t understand why it was ever picked as an Essentials ROTM.

It’s all just our opinions at the end. But yeah, for me, that Tennis album sucked 🙅‍♀️🙅‍♂️
