Y'all know this is just my opinion, right?
Hitony Steemtano :)
Will you do request reviews?
Good to see you here, on Steemit, BTW.
Keep up good work!
what do you request, sir!??!?
Uh, oh! I had to do quick research to check if you didn't make it already....
Aaaand Decapitated - Anticult (2017) came to mind.
They've been cleared of rape and kidnapping charges. It is safe to talk about them now. :)
But, you know, I'm interested in what you think about their music. Did you love it? Did you hate it? Either way it would be enjoyable review :)
Yea I also like it. Had a quick listen through yesterday. Looking forward to hear it again. Think they have a nice blend of styles. Love the psychedelic touch in their music!
Nice post!
as a lover of synthpop, i think this record has some of the freshest sounds and ideas i've heard in a long while. and the weirdness, imho, is very easy to digest.
i haven't honestly paid attention to the band much since oracular spectacular (it was clear i wasn't gonna be feeling the newer records after i heard the first singles from congratulations), but i'm happy to say that i've quite enjoyed this record so far and think me and michael is one of my fav songs in a long time.
and i think the interactions with ariel pink and connan mockasin have definitely benefit the band. it's got me a bit out of my comfort zone whilst feeding me things i actually enjoy, so that's neat!
happy to see it tickled you the right way too.
I was thinking of Ariel Pink also on some of these songs also! Cool to see he was involved in some capacity. Overall I'm really happy with this album. As much as I personally prefer them spiraling into more weirdness with Congratulations and the self-titled album (Despite it's shortcomings, I still loved it), I think this album has a nice balance of what fans like myself like about them and a more general audience as well. 8/10 sounds about right.
