I listened to this album today to revisit and see if I still loved it. I do. The thing about it is the production is very stripped down like you pointed out, but it's the austerity of it that turns even the most simple shit into grandiose moments. An example is the song "Lowdown". That song is about as minimalistic as it comes. It's also about as heavy as it gets. But when the loud guitar chord "solo" thing comes in toward the middle-end of the song it just hits me so much. In that moment it feels almost lush. It feels just BIG, GRAND, and expressive as hell.
It's like the simple-ness and stripped down-ness of the production makes the little details all the more awesome and almost revelatory in a way. They just kinda come out at you, seemingly out of nowhere.
I just love this so much. |
Maybe such big moments only appear when you know the album really well. I appreciate it, but don't share the same opinion of it as something really incredible. But one very great thing about it: it's hard to grow tired of as easily as super catchy pop albums.
