Fair enough! I love it too, but more as a nice intermission, or an intro to Electioneering.

I'll just leave it to Thom to review it with some out of context lyrics:
"Oh, it's the best thing that you've ever had
The best thing that you've ever, ever had"
5/5

Also, from a 5/5 album we also got a 5/5 cover.

Thundercat is an artist who feels like they should be exactly right up my alley, on paper at least, but I've yet to actually click with.
Looking forward to giving this one another go.

On paper, everything about Thundercat screams "ARTIST @avecigrec SHOULD LOVE!" and I definitely love his bass playing on many other folks' material, but I've yet to actually click with any of his solo stuff the couple of times I've given it a listen.

IT’S LIKE SUN-RA AND GEORGE CLINTON HAD A BABY!!! NONE OF THIS MAKES SENSE!!! This is clearly a glitch in the matrix.
So this album is perfect. Every track could have been a single. It’s my 4th favourite of theirs because, well, they’re Radiohead and they did a lot right.
Street Spirit is the best closing track by a band that specialises in closing tracks.
This whole album is a happy place.
10/5

This is really, really good.
A little overlong and laboured in places, perhaps, but it is very good. Apocalypse is probably a more focused and realised album.
3.5/5 rounded down.
I’ve heard lots of people say this and in the end when they drill down into why it is 99% his voice. I don’t mind his voice.
*Also I apologise profusely for my use of the term “drill down”. I have a fucking idiot section head who only speaks in jargon thinking it makes them sound more intelligent, they sound fucking dumb the whole time. But hear it enough and the odd bit permeates. It’s like linguistic herpes.
Talk Show Host is epic! It and Killer Cars are two b sides from this era that have me questioning how the fuck two such perfect songs are b sides!

Why are "Acquiesce" and "Talk Tonight" B sides? Sometimes the world just makes no sense.
Because he wrote them in between album cycles when they needed b sides for singles. I think Noel really regrets pissing away an album of songs on b sides! It did make buying their singles in the 90s really exciting and essential though!

I remember really enjoying this album when it came out, even though I'm not really that much into funk. Haven't listened to them in a while though, so looking forward to it. Will not be until tomorrow though.
PS. This has got to be my favorite Thundercat moment. Everything is just so deliciously weird here:

Not particularly engaging.
It's not terrible, but I didn't really care for it while it was playing and was glad it finished, to be honest.
2 / 5 stars.

I rarely listen to my copy of this all the way through because of the packaging. 4 10" records at 45 means pretty much constantly flipping. Some killer singles, but it does get long. The percussion is amazing, as is the bass playing - just wish some of the more intricate parts were higher in the mix. 3/5

I thought there was something weird about the vinyl for this but I couldn't remember what it was. I was thinking it was a triple album but then it was only 51 minutes long.
This is the first time I've listened to it straight through and I enjoyed it. Needs more listens but I'll give it a 3/5 right now.
