Then I’d say the album isn’t for you. If you have listened to the album that many times and don’t know whether you like it or not, then you don’t love the album!
But personally, I love Caribou’s Swim! It’s luxurious, hazy, laboratory-like, intoxicating, hypnotic and it simultaneously manages to sound futuristic yet organic! And this album also manages to sound dark and dense but is super danceable and easy-going on the ears. The vocals sound nasally and anxious, yet ghostly and confident. Like, this album aesthetically really is something special! And all tracks have this warmth to them but have a subtle darkness.
The attention to detail on “Swim” is absolutely incredible and delightful. Live Instruments turn into imaginative sounds!
“Odessa” is one of my favourite songs of the decade. It’s sexy, ethereal, confident, aquatic, liquidy, yet when the song progresses, it sounds very mystical and quite suspenseful. I feel like something grand and horrific is about to reveal themselves when that striking, spiral glitch sound comes in towards the end!
Swim is a synthetic-like, dreamy, cinematic disco album that sounds like it was not recorded on earth! It sounds so supernatural! It’s celestial, aquatic and science-y!
If you just get lost in the album, you will absolutely love this album!

If you regretted missing out on Arlie, it is back in stock at the moment.

Not to rub it in but I just cleaned it for the first time and now it’s flawless. So the good news is your next copy should be clean

I re-listened to Side A on my copy and yeah, the first song and a half sound ATROCIOUS. I had been focusing my attention on Love Theme from Spartacus because that's my favorite song on the album so I only just now noticed how bad Side A is.
I just emailed CS, and based on what other people have said, I'm cautiously optimistic the next copy will be fine. I'm still kind of bummed. The actual package was in pristine shape -- not even a bent corner -- and the record itself looks gorgeous (and is flat as a pancake).

Price isn't too bad on amazon uk. I ordered Hats.

They haven't gotten back to me at all about my sticker email, which is not surprising.

CS got back to me, so a new Yusef should be on the way soon. Fingers crossed.

Same here quite a few pops in the 1st song and a half. I haven't cleaned it yet though.

My September package was lost, the replacement was sent untracked. I also haven't received my October box yet.
My annual subscription expires in February, I can't wait for it to end. It has become such a hassle.

Last time I asked they told me I would get store credit as I had payed for my subscription with store credit. But I guess it wouldn't hurt to ask again.

Not my kind of thing but this looks like a very cool box, though it will most definitely be overpriced.

Yeah, $$ is likely gonna be my issue with it. I am glad they are doing a more “Modern” set though.
Agreed and if it is certain albums, I’m sure this will sell out very fast. I never really got into the artists on the label though so it’s a pass for me (thankfully... no extra cash here).
