I am still spending lots of time with Strand of Oaks’ In Heaven. I find this album very enjoyable.

It's nice. Doesn't live up to his last IMO.

Mastodon - Hushed and Grim

Pretty underwhelming, which is to be expected at this point. Not terrible, but a little derivative and samey. There are attempts at grandiose, winding epics that just seem to meander before falling flat more often than not.

It could be a grower. I'll give it some more time.

I felt the same at first, but as I listen more I like it more and more. No, it’s not Eraserland, but then again not much else is.

Snail Mail’s Valentine is better than Phoebe Bridgers’ Punisher.

There. I said it.

say it louder.

It doesn't hit the same highs for me but I like it a lot. Good progression for her

I listened yesterday and while i liked it a lot, there is no way is better than Punisher.

I have spoken

He's just comparing albums. One came out this year, the other last year.

keep up dad

comparing albums that released in different years is not allowed in a thread meant for one year.

When parents get old.

tbh, I’ve not given serious listens to Punisher or Valentine.

I’m playing Valentine right now, sort of a passive listen while I’m outside with the dog. c. et al. made me stop and play again.

Snail Mail’s EP is a favorite of mine. gonna be hard to top that.
