Hmmm. At first I didn't like that Augie March song but then I got into it. I'd maybe have gone with a Ryan Adams song for this kind of feel but I can sort of see why nobody nominated him!
Atlas-yeah it puts most naughts post-punk to shame by being much truer to the original idea. I find the vocal effects a bit annoying though and I think the track could be shorter.
I'm stuck. Think I'll abstain but not in protest as they are both pretty good tracks for me.
Something felt familiar when I was listening to Augie March and I couldn't put my finger on it until I read Michael's comment - there are definitely Ryan Adams vibes here. Ended up voting for March even though I wasn't really all that impressed. Battles and similar bands have never done anything for me and honestly a lot of this song sounds silly to me. _________________ And it's hard to be a human being. And it's harder as anything else.
Hoping Atlas goes far in the tournament. When it came out it really opened my mind as to what music can be (I was young and whatnot, but still, it's a really unique track). Gets an easy vote for me here, even with nostalgia aside. _________________ Submit Your List for BEA's 2023 Film Poll!
Augie March is a real discovery for me and it doesn't even come from his first two albums which are supposed to be his best. Ryan Adams and even Jeff Buckley are good reference and Allmusic even compares him to Ray Davies on their review of Strange Bird, his second album.
Definitely one to discover while the Battles track has something annoying although the beat under it is great.
Atlas is easily one of the definitive songs of the decade.
Agreed. Like it or hate it, I don’t think there are many tracks that summarize the aughts better than Atlas. _________________ follow me on the bandcamp.
