The Age of Adz is a reference to Louisiana artist and self-proclaimed prophet Royal Robertson, whose work appears on the album's cover and liner notes. A paranoid schizophrenic, Robertson translated his anguish through apocalyptic sci-fi posters after his wife left him following nearly 20 years of marriage.
2. Big Boi - Sir Lucious Left Foot The Son Of Chico Dusty
"Actually, man, working on something for that long, and having been doing it for as long as I’ve been doing it, I feel good about it. I feel like it’s some of the best work I’ve done in my life. That’s where the whole Sir Lucious Left Foot concept comes in. Sir Lucious Left Foot is like Luke Skywalker when he became a Jedi. I’m a master at my craft and I know how to do it."
The ArchAndroid is the follow-up to Janelle Monáe's debut EP Metropolis Suite I (The Chase) (2007) and consists of the second and third parts to her Metropolis concept series. Partly inspired by the 1927 film of the same name, the series involves the fictional tale of Cindi Mayweather, a messianic android sent back in time to free the citizens of Metropolis from The Great Divide, a secret society that uses time-travel to suppress freedom and love.
While walking among the tall grass at her wedding, Eurydice was set upon by a satyr. In her efforts to escape the satyr, Eurydice fell into a nest of vipers and suffered a fatal bite on her heel. Her body was discovered by Orpheus who, overcome with grief, played such sad and mournful songs that all the nymphs and gods wept. On their advice, Orpheus travelled to the underworld and by his music softened the hearts of Hades and Persephone, who agreed to allow Eurydice to return with him to earth on one condition he should walk in front of her and not look back until they both had reached the upper world. He set off with Eurydice following, and, in his anxiety, as soon as he reached the upper world, he turned to look at her, forgetting that both needed to be in the upper world. She vanished for the second time, but now forever.
As a prelude to the album, Pallett recorded an EP, Spectrum, 14th Century. Both the EP and the subsequent full-length are set in an imaginary realm called Spectrum. The songs on Heartland form a narrative concerning a "young, ultra-violent farmer" named Lewis, commanded by an all-powerful narrator—named Owen. According to Pallett, the songs are one-sided dialogues with Lewis speaking to his creator.
Vote to 1970, easily. There is absolutely nothing on that 2010 team that I have any interest in ever listening to again, unfortunately. None of the albums are bad, but they just aren't my thing, and there's certainly nothing there that's convincing me to vote against Black Sabbath's debut, Yeti, and The Madcap Laughs. _________________ 2021 in full effect. Come drop me some recs. Y'all know what I like.
Yeti is a beastly album, and I'm going to interpret Parallelograms as a personal attack. Black Sabbath is good, Let It Be is okay, but I never really got on the Syd Barrett train.
But guys, come on. Rocky ain't no DJ he just play them fuckin mixtapes. Rocky ain't no DJ he just hit that instant replay.
you had me at owen, and janelle sealed the deal. 1970 has quite the singles dept, but i'm going with the albums. _________________ follow me on the bandcamp.
I have to admit Im a bit surprised by the lack of Fun House or Just Another Diamond Day on any of the 1970 teams, but clearly there was a purpose anyway
Yeah I do have to say I am leaning a bit towards 1970, mainly because 2010 suffers from "It's Good... Yeah it's just good" syndrome through most of the team (though I really, really like Hadestown) and 1970 after Let it Be is very strong, and Black Sabbath is def my favorite across the board. About even with singles, Tears of a Clown is my favorite across both so yeah 1970 seems to be it but Ill do some more listening first.
This one is a really good close match. I like pretty much everything both teams are showing me. Except American Woman, which I've never really liked. But the combination of Sabbath & Syd is really tough for any team to overcome. vote for 1970, but props to Dave for Anais Mitchell (among any other strong plays here) _________________ http://jonnyleather.com
