PO: Washed Out/Paracosm


Recommended Posts

I can pleasantly listen to this album the entire way through

Agreed!

 

It's a feel good/escapism record for me. For some reason I can't stop thinking about the super optimistic days I had here in San Diego during the 90s listening to "It All Feels Right" It just makes me feel that 90s awesomeness where hip hop exploded. But I also take in the fact that this is indeed a 2013 sounding record. "Don't Give Up" reminds me of DJ Jazzy Jeff/Will Smiths, "Summertime" "Great Escape" is a pure feel good track that I always bob my head to in the car while driving up and down the i-5. My favorite is "All Over Now" it's so dreamy and hopeful full of mystery and perfect ending to Paracosm.

Three listens in and the album still hasn't grabbed me.  I find it kind of forgettable and too much of it blurs together.  All three listens have been while I'm at work though, so maybe I haven't given it the focus I should either.  I can't say I dislike it, but I'm not 'wowed' by it at all.

again, i don't understand what kind of hang up people have around here that prevents them from just discussing the actual contents of an album.

you're a complete fucking douche in every thread it seems LOL you just can't help it

and others seems to have pointed that out quite well in this thread so I won't bother going into specifics

Well here's that green we were mainly skeptical about. It's a bit more "jungle" green than "forest" or "lime" << Thank goodness!

That looks so damn good, especially with the acrylic platter

It's not surprising there would be a UO exclusive variant

Thanks! Yes the good guys at NeedleDoctor gave me 50$ off for the platter and tt + free shipping. I've heard crazier stories! But I'm grateful to have gotten any discount especially since I simply asked if there was some sort of deal we could strike together. Well they have me as a customer for life now that's for sure. 

 

I'd recommend them. 

 

But yea man the acrylic aside from it's audio benefits/lightness it absorbs colored records so well! Just a nice little enhancement to add to the pleasure vibes.
