LCD Soundsystem - This Is Happening
I generally dislike the disco-post-punk of the 2000s ,but this is a fun album that while unashamed of its inspirations (Talking Heads, New Order, Roxy Music...) remains fun until the second half, where it kinda loses itself with some uninventive tracks

Not bad but not great. The pieces that work better, even if quite predictable, are the ones more close to the noise pop of the Breeders (Cystal Breath is amazing), while the more slow pieces with the strings and even wind instruments are quite forgettable

I like the urban and darker sound of this over the neo soul of his last albums and Lamar can obviously write and rap (some amazing flows on this) well, but it's hard to shake the feeling that after TPAB he just doesn't have much to say music wise. Only for the fans

Of all the post-punk-revival act Krule seems one of the few doing something interesting, shifting the dooming sound of This Heat and the neuroticism of Suicide into a more intimate sphere. Still it results a bit monotonous and not all songs are worth the listening

Same thing can't be said of Fontaines D.C., that are instead a group that nothing adds to the post-punk sound, just taking elements of Joy Division and Bauhaus with a bit of The Smiths and Sister of Mercy. Still okay for an autumn evening I guess...

Very cool mixtape with a bunch of features, fusing the trap sound with some memphis rap/horrorcore attitude is a perfect combo and the whole thing just goes really hard. It helps that the short time run keeps a constantly forward momentum

One of the first psychedelic albums, made in 1965 (!!!!). The song writing is just okay, but you can definitely hear the influence it will have on Zappa, Beefheart, Byrds etc.
