2 (studio album) by Mac DeMarco

Some more great stuff from Mac, although it's not as good as Salad Days and This Old Dog. Highlights are Freaking out the Neighbourhood, Still Together and The Stars Keep On Calling My Name. A very easy listen.

Tengo una cuestión con la música de Mac DeMarco y es que hasta cierto punto de avanzados sus albums, las canciones me llegan a parecer muy repetitivas. Se siente tan cómodo en esa neo-psicodelia que a lo mejor no se atreve a experimentar o evolucionar de estilo. Me empezaba a parecer un problema, porque no conectaba con ninguna de las canciones, pero por la mitad del disco aparecieron las que por fin me convencieron de que este no era un disco promedio. Esas canciones fueron Ode to Viceroy, The Stars Keep on Calling My Name y My Kind of Woman, mis 3 favoritas del album. Me parece un album decente, aunque unos escalones por debajo de Salad Days.

I like psychedelic freak-outs, but Annie's is just grating and almost wrecks what would have been another brilliant song. I wish Still Together was turned into a proper song too. Sounds like tacked-on left-overs Mac couldn't quite figure out how to turn into a properly produced track like the rest. As a result the vocals are again, a little grating, and it's really dull.

Otherwise? This album is absolutely fantastic. There are two low-points among some of the best music I've ever heard. They're the only thing keeping this album from a 10, in my opinion.

Perfect Album.

I sometimes kick myself for not buying this cd when I had a chance. This album really grows on you, and as it does, you really come to appreciate the skill that goes into slacker rock. I only hope that soon people will do the same for Courtney Barnett!

I thouroghly enjoyed this album. Great find! MEZ

Pretty good!

In my opinion the most prolific musician currently making music. This album is perfect through and through and if you haven't listened to it yet, do yourself a favor and take a listen. Currently somewhat overlooked and underrated, but if you've listened to it as much as I have, you can see there's something so incredibly unique that exists within the eclectic mix of genres (some glam-rock, post-punk, pop) he's cultivated. I can't exactly put my finger on it, so I like to call it "maplerock." There are some other Canadian bands associated with him that I also define as maplerock such as Homeshake, Freelove Fenner, Each Other, Alex Calder, that are also worth checking out.
