"who knew people could be so simple minded and only think pumped up kicks is great when it's a lesser song on the album, favorites are life on the nickel and waste"  Reply

A marked improvement on Think Tank and most definitely rubbing shoulders with some of their best records. Reflective of the city it was recorded in - Hong Kong, there's a spacey, futuristic glow to each song whilst all the while a sense of melancholy loneliness and dislocation pervades amongst the hubbub. The Magic Whip finds Blur very much Lost. In. The. City. It is without a shadow of a doubt a brilliant album and an excellent return to form, sounding for all the world like the same band who released She's So High or even still The Great Escape, it will leave very few Blur fans disappointed - even if inevitably, you're left wanting more. Standout tracks include: Thought I Was A Spaceman; My Terracotta Heart; There Are Too Many Of Us and Mirrorball. 10 out of 10."  [+]  Reply

They are not reinventing the wheel or anything with this record, but that's because they don't need to. It all feels very Tool, which I would describe as some sort of "meditative" prog metal. Long songs, big build-ups, and an overall slow pace. Tool is for patient metalheads, on a couple of levels. I think the 13 year wait has satisfied the hype, but IMO not exceeded it. I have listened to the album about 4 times now, perhaps my rating might go up with more listens. Favourites: Pneuma, Invincible, Culling Voices"  [+]  Reply

We want to put everything, people, art, everything that exists, into little categories with certain attributes so that we don’t have to spend all of our time examining each individual thing to observe its unique properties. It’s just easier that way, it’s easier to see something and say “I now know what this thing is” because of how it has been categorized, either by us or someone else. This can be problematic though, especially in the world of music genres. If any one album fits perfectly into the hole of one genre, then chances are, that album is not particularly interesting (though this is not necessarily true). The best albums, the best music, transcends genres, they look genres in the face and directly defy them. The best music is the music that, when your friends ask about it, you say “It’s kind of a mix between….well it’s kind of like….. you know what just listen to it.” That’s what “You’re Dead!” is. There are so many different genres shoved into this 38-minute, 15-second album that it’ll make your head spin. This is one of the most all-over-the-place, neurotic, chaotic albums that I’ve ever heard. It’s really hard to pin it down in words, and that’s the beauty of it. Listening to this album is like being on a roller coaster with a loose lap-bar. The whole album deals with life and death, it feels like this album is about the futility of life, the futility of what you do with your life. It’s an album that absolutely requires, and will take by force, your whole attention, and needs multiple listenings, and even then, you might not even fully grasp what has just happened, as if you just witnessed a man resurrected from the dead, this album will be swirling around in your head and you may even question whether or not it actually happened, but be assured, it happened, and you loved every glorious, frantic second of it."  [+]  Reply

The lyrics and hooks have improved from the already great "Saturation," and the group has even more personality and character in this one. If I didn't know about the background of the group, I wouldn't have known who was sort of supposed to be the "leader" of this group. It seems pretty clear this time that the songs revolve around Kevin Abstract's lyrical concepts and his addictive hooks. The beats on this album are outstandingly produced. The group experiments heavily on this album. They don't just have tastes of different genres. They go DEEPLY into an assortment of music styles. I seriously hope that this album gets a higher rating. 75 is obscenely low for an album on this level."  [+]  Reply

The album is a perfect commentary on the condition of the always online connected millennial and their struggles. For proof look no further than this line from "Give Yourself a Try" 'I was 25 and afraid to go outside / a millennial that baby-boomers like' This line resonated so strongly with me as my eldest daughter is a 19 yo millennial and she is literally afraid to go outside as her life is lived vicariously staring at a screen Any commentary that this is anything other than a great album is straight up wrong , it has so many great tracks: the pillar track "Give Youself a Try" , the beautiful acoustics of " Be My Mistake" , the dripping sarcasm and online commentary of "The Man Who Married a Robot" , the absolutely beautiful strings of "Inside Your Mind" , the smokey piano bar ballad "Mine" to jaw dropping closer "I always Wanna Die" . No , this is a cracking release This album is part A in a 2 part release with part B 'Notes on a Conditional Form' arriving in 2019 , we wait with bated breath for its arrival This is what music should sound like in 2018 - well produced , smart , sassy , angry, confused , love lorn and varied like a mixed tape Brilliant "  [+]  Reply
