Needles & Grooves AotM /// Vol. 39 - September 2022 // Dogs Die In Hot Cars - Please Describe Yourself

[wmeugene]

So welcome to the madness. Volume 39 of this illustrious series.

So I am pretty sure my choice is available around the world at a reasonable price. If not I apologize in advance and will give out other albums if for whatever reason this album isn't available when the time comes. I hate supply chains and this is the most readily available of the 3 or 4 albums I was picking.

Let's start the show!

[Will update this post with links, etc. when the time comes]

Hint #0 (Pre-August):

If either had been reasonably available on vinyl, my first choice would have been The Wrens - The Meadowlands and my second choice Gang Of Youths - Go Farther In Lightness. It's neither of those.

Hint #1 -

Peppa's Adventures: The Album

A bold ROTM choice I must say, but it did score higher than Donda, after all.

Lyrically miles ahead of "woop scoopity poop"

Does it have to do with this somehow? lol

Trying to figure out if this is a record that falls between a 6-6.5 on the Pitchfork scale, a band that has/had beef or 2 titans of the industry that came together to create a masterpiece....

Pumped!

 

[TrainFan73]

NIN - Downward Spiral. Close the thread.

its gotta be that.. must have a connection to Mercedes Benz stadium.. or maybe its an embarrassing score like how peppa got .5 more than donda which was baffling score wise (but if we were doing that a less known example would be the games god hand and imagine party babies)

Hint #2:

UN International Year of Rice.

2004 release?

 

[4080]

A 2004 release from a larger than life character and producer combo, so Madvillain "Madvillainy"? No idea if it's readily available though...

 

[duke86fan]

what are some bafflingly negative pitchfork reviews from 04

 

[duke86fan]

i had a guess

Prince - Musicology

2004
pitchfork gave it a negative score but recently raised the score to a 7.8

but its probably not that because of the availability

Best post-90s Prince album for sure!
