It’s a good album, but I need more time before I am totally sold.

Which McCartney album is the most recent where you wouldn't say the same thing?

McCartney III and New off the top of my head

Huh...

Admittedly it’s been a long time since I heard those albums, so it’s based on pure memory.

I gotcha. No worries. I'm glad you liked those records. I wish I had liked them more, TBH.

I listened to McCartney III once and then completely forgot it existed. St. Vincent is even on that thing (I think?) and genuinely have no idea how that song goes.

I think the last McCartney record that I fully enjoyed was like... Flaming Pie? Maybe? Or wait, when was Driving Rain? That was after right, so I think that one.

This Boards of Canada record is nice.

I feel like as always, the more listens and fall into that space (stream of consciousness stoner ramble) the better it gets

Listened today and I kinda think it's his best album

If not the, among his best for sure.

I've only given it one very sleepy listen this morning but the new Death Cab seems really good

Two new Interpol songs dropping on the 9th. I haven't enjoyed much of their post-Carlos output, but I've heard some live footage of "See out Loud" and thought it sounded pretty encouraging, so hoping for the best.

Chat Pile’s new album is called Who Loves the Sun. Out September 4th. First single tomorrow.

New Vince Staples was not what i was expecting. Way too much rock and pop so far, i havent finished it yet

Damn. Was looking forward to sitting through this one. Vince is one I still follow.

Twin Peaks - Live In Chicago
Natural Child - Wooden
Sierra Ferrell - Live at Third Man Records
White Fence - Orange

Good stuff from this year.

New album This Mirror Weighs a Ton on August 28th.

New music from Jack White, Chat Pile, Osees, Ty Segall and Eddy Current Suppression Ring has got me feelin' fine.

Good chance that there's a new Julia Jacklin record this year.

second Converge album released this year is good stuff

oh! and a new Cult of Luna single on Friday, I love them so I'm excited

I Got Bugs will be thrilled to hear that the new Lizzo album doesn't totally work for me.

But I've only listened once, so...

I'm deep into the new record from Jesse Welles and it's a pearler.
