  1. not a personal fan of danny brown or much of vince staples' stuff, but i do feel like people elevate kendrick over these guys based on album sales/celebrity, which is obviously bogus when talking about the best rapper. im disappointed with what kendrick has done since Good kid maad city and i will continue to say joey bada$$ is crushing most people out there until it is no longer true. he doesn't have filler tracks, and all of his mixtapes and B4D4$$ have been great. i don't understand how a conversation about the best in the game could at all include kanye anymore, I don't care how good his production is (and yes, it is very good).

  2. lets not forget overly dedicated or section.80. i mean those are what got me into kendrick in the first place. this track and most of TPAB are not doing much to retain my interest. lyrical content-wise, this new track is like a not good version of cut you off, which along with all of his older material, deserves a listen. lets not all jump on the hype bandwagon and act like theres anything that special about 'humble' though

    Thank you.

     

    I'm pretty sure I'm living my life right and I'm pretty sure that one day I'll move in the direction to hear them.

     

    But at present, they don't fit and I don't love Coheed and Cambria on the completist level.

     

    It's that simple.

     

    Also, I've never seen such devotion to a band that folks are telling me how to live my life in order to make sure I can hear this music.

     

    I have never seen such a thing.

    I keep wanting to side with Battra then he keeps reminding me this argument has no winners.

    their last one? ;) No no, 'Plastic Beach' was definitely not being recorded on an iPad, you're talking 'bout The Fall. If you don't know Plastic Beach, I'd highly recommend listening to it. To  me, it's a conceptual work of art. and by far my favourite Gorillaz record. Like the self/titled, but couldn't really dig into Demon Days. But Plastic Beach is an opus magnum.

    ...the fall came out after plastic beach, which is why i said "their last album". and yes, the fall was reportedly recorded entirely on an ipad. but ill try to give plastic beach a try though

    I think this is what it basically boils down to.  We're all entitled to our own opinions, but there isn't a single song I'm not pumped to hear on Rot Forever.  Its "weakest" songs are a lot more engaging and memorable than anything I've heard from Joyce Manor, Modern Baseball, Sports, or Sorority Noise... though, to be fair, I haven't listened to a full discography of any of those bands.  But for an album that runs longer than the vast majority of records out there, I wouldn't say Rot Forever stumbles or delivers a single mediocre song, and maybe that's why I'm holding it in such a higher regard to anything released by the aforementioned bands.

    just to clarify, i wasnt talking about the band sports but the album sports by modern baseball. there is a decent pop-punk band called "sports." there is and i think a better dream pop band called "sports" (check them out) but this is a good point nonetheless about opinions. for those critiquing sports as a "great album", I'm talking about it as yes, an album i listen to often, but also the reason I appreciate it. modern baseball are what blink were to me in my teens right now, pretty much. regardless, to throw joyce manor or sorority noise (maybe until this album) in with modern baseball at this point to me is questionable at best.

    Huh? They talk about the internet and South Park in just the first song (which has a joke title about the fast and the furious mind you) it isn't more serious that's just the sound of better. And I'm sorry but to praise Sports that way is laughable.

    its all good, man. people seem to agree with you, but i still like sports and will say it was a great album, song for song, in my book. i agree there are jokes in rot forever, but i think a lot of people would take the tone of that album - if only based on vocal delivery - as very different than a typical moba/joycemanor/sororitynoise album. im just saying, there were a lot of great songs on rot forever, but there were also a few i would have left out, and that matters to me when assessing an album as a whole.

    "Better".  Better is the adjective to use here.

    To me, that's a little unfair. Yes, Sioux Falls take a more "serious" rather than playful tone than these bands, but that doesn't equate to better. I admit I am a huge Modern Baseball fan, I don't think many albums have come out in recent years that are better than Sports, but yes, Rot Forever was something special for sure. And I would absolutely agree Rot Forever is better than anything Sorority Noise and certainly Joyce Manor have put out, so yeah i guess i pretty much agree.

  8. One of the most underrated (and my current favorite) dream-pop group is TOPS. Their album 'Picture You Staring' was my album of 2014, and this lead single is promising for their new album 'Sugar At The Gate', out June 2nd. Pre-order now on standard or limited 'sunshine yell-o' vinyl. I would also recommend listening to 'Picture You Staring' in full, it is excellent.
