Don't sweat it—everyone thinks their ideas are groundbreaking, even when they're suggesting 😁Pink Floyd.

Dennis Hall41 said:You hit the nail on the head.

Look, the point is obvious—I don't give a damn about lyrics. I straight up ignore them unless they’re actually legendary, like Leonard Cohen’s early stuff, or if they're absolute garbage, like this week's winner. Honestly, with Swansea, you don't even need to think about the lyrics—you can just tune them out entirely. Same goes for Dylan, by the way—Nobel Prize or whatever, he's in that same category for me. I mean, seriously, try translating what Marvin Gaye is singing over here; it's some real cheesy, "follow your heart and find your truth" nonsense. Total amateur hour. 😁

Gerald Jackson48 said:Even within the context of their usual sugary-sweet output—which happens more often than not—it’s still... What's Going On The bio is way too avant-garde—totally over the top—and besides, Marvin Gaye was already struggling just to get anything recorded.

That says a lot about the whole subgenre, doesn't it—if you're calling this avant-garde. 😁

Just opened up my voting window 🤦

Mostly, I’d just cast my vote for Swansea, though it wouldn't change a damn thing anyway 😁

New album of the week... musically it holds its own, but man, some of the worst lyrics I've ever had the misfortune of hearing. "A father loves his son dearly," "God the Father loves His children," blah blah blah. It’s like listening to a bunch of seniors going through menopause. 😁

Dennis Hall41 said:This is just classic post-hippie, proto-Luciferian nonsense—it’s driving me insane after barely five minutes of listening.

And what about all those times you were obsessing over Coltrane's A Love Supreme? The first few minutes of 'Karma' is literally just a musical nod to that exact album.😁

👍

Objectively speaking, this is easily the best album in the group. But now I gotta figure out who I'm actually voting for personally. 😁

And we still haven't had anyone suggest Sun Ra—we need to fix that ASAP.

Dennis Hall41 said:It’s hard to even call this a portrait of any kind.

Look, like you mentioned later—a portrait wasn't the point. But the whole process—at least for me—ended up creating one of the most unforgettable literary characters lately: Rugendas, the landscape painter. He’s left without a face, and in that final, killer scene of the novel, he ends up painting portraits (not to spoil too much 😁 )

cosmiccobra2 said:Yeah, true—Animal Collective definitely has that "love it or hate it" vibe. Personally, only Strawberry jam in The Flowers and MPP hit the mark for me; the rest just didn't do it.

'spirits' and 'danse manatee'—especially that second one—are top-tier psychedelia. Honestly, they’re some of the most original interpretations out there, so those are the two I'd put money on. 😁 There was massive hype around MPP at one point, mostly fueled by those killer live recordings leading up to it, but the actual album? Total letdown, IMO.
