Needles & Grooves

Agree...meh

I like the loose, off-the-cuff feel of the record, and I think there are a couple of really good tracks sprinkled in throughout. That said, I do think we are getting some serious knee jerk reactions right now. Or maybe I'm just more of a casual fan than most.

For the record I like the thing.

I mean, it's not a bad album by any means but is it a perfect 10 out of 10? I don't think so but that's just my opinion

Aaaaaaaaaand the backlash begins. You'll love it in a month.

If I listen to it again @MikeyP

At some point you'll get sick of hearing all this praise (it will hit hard again at the end of the year) and give it another run

I’m still doing that with Tidal

Blasphemy.

I think it's over praised that's all

That's all good. And you know it's a great album when even the dissenting opinions want to be heard. It happens every time something is praised this highly.

"This thing a lot of people love is overpraised" is rarely a great take. Not that I think Pitchfork's ratings mean anything ever, but just because art doesn't speak to YOU doesn't make it a less-good thing.
