You know the songs you hate by bands you love?

Yeah - thats One More Saturday Night for the Dead.
Impossible Germany for Wilco.


But this isn't the hot take thread...so feel free to disregard.
I've never felt closer to an internet stranger. Solidarity, comrade...

I want to refer to Impossible Germany as the “Dad Rock Even Flow,” but of course the problem is that Even Flow is the Dad Rock Even Flow. I need another descriptive phrase to replace “Dad Rock” so I can say “Impossible Germany is the _______ Even Flow.” I’ve been working on this for years, someone please help me.

(Disclaimer: I love Wilco, Impossible Germany, Pearl Jam, Even Flow and my children.)
 
Reminder: 2 hours until Her OST drop on Mondo.

Pro-tip: log into your PayPal first in a separate tab about 5 minutes before the sale begins. Purchase album in a different tab in Mondo storefront. It won't need to log in to PayPal again on Mondo's site. Least that is what was successful for me with The Fountain.

DESCRIPTION

Haram is a mercurial collaboration between incendiary rap duo Armand Hammer, and living legend The Alchemist. For the first time ELUCID and billy woods have crafted an album with a single producer and the result is extraordinary. With their unmatched penchant for stirring imagery and incisive storytelling, the two rappers dive into an ocean of Alchemist’s creation: warmly inviting on the surface, black and bone-crushingly cold at depth. Haram is a collection of the profane and the pure; a reminder that that which is forbidden is also sacrosanct.

The artists are joined by their friends and fellow travelers on this journey. KAYANA’s golden voice upps the wattage on “Black Sunlight,” while Fielded’s sultry alto gets chopped and screwed on “Aubergine”. Earl Sweatshirt makes a sun-soaked appearance, while Curly Castro and Amani mix like ice and salt on Brooklyn sidewalks and Quelle Chris, as always, finds a pocket all his own. Still, there is a natural rapport that belies the New York-to-Los Angeles-and-back nature of the project, allowing Haram to be more than the sum of its parts, however impressive those parts may be. This isn’t just the genre’s most insistent contemporary voices paired with arguably its best producer. This is when you buy a beautiful house only to discover, hidden behind a heavy bookcase, a stairway twisting up and away into the darkness.

Impossible Germany is the "MID-TEMPO ROCK" Even Flow.

I already have this album. I wish I didn't because I would love to have a remastered version, but the copy I have is fine. I do like t-shirt designs on their website too!

Aw shit I just saw Fat Possum’s mention of it being “the first of four” reissues. I may have to buy them all. I have standard Plain issues of them which are apparently really bad even though I have been satisfied with them. Spiritualized are one of my all time favorites so I should probably jump on these and sell the others. I’m also missing Let It Come Down which would be the 4th in this series.

Edit: so bizarre that shipping is $2 cheaper from Fat Possum than the band’s site, when I’m pretty sure the label is also the one filling those orders.

I have been fortunate over the years to grab a few good vinyl pressings of their albums, but I'll replace the first two Plain issues.

I’m just over here patiently waiting for the El-P reissues that Fat Possum promised over a year ago.

I have those versions too and love them - may pick up the new Let It Come Down to see if it's an improvement at some point, but not instantly
