The verse melody is very similar but everything else is different enough that it doesn’t sound plagiarized at all

So I've been meaning to listen to Wilco's new album for a while but kept forgetting about it until today. I got a ticket to see them (again) in October, after all. I'm listening to it now and like...is it just me or does every song more or less sound the same? There are variations for sure, but I'm not hearing a lot of diversity in this album. The songs are kinda all blending together for me. I'm on the last couple tracks now and I don't think I could tell you anything memorable about any of them. This is not how I've always felt about Wilco, mind you. I love albums like Summerteeth, Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, A Ghost Is Born and Sky Blue Sky. Sky Blue Sky was 15 years ago, though. I think the last new album of theirs I listened to was The Whole Love, and that came out 11 years ago. The only track from that album that I remember is Art of Almost, but I remember that track being excellent and energetic. For whatever reason, I don't think I listened to Star Wars, Schmilco or Ode to Joy. Did they lose a core member since I last listened to them or something? Because something's definitely missing on this album. It's fine, but it's not the older Wilco cranking out incredible single after incredible single that I remember. This got me worried about seeing them live in October, as I wondered if they'd play mostly new stuff. I went to https://www.setlist.fm/ and checked out some recent setlists, though, and while they are playing several new songs live, they're also playing several older songs too. The last (and only) time I saw them was at a festival in 2007 and that setlist was incredible:

That run of albums is definitely them at their peak, and it's definitely been pretty sharply downhill from there in my opinion. Still, it's a drat good peak.

I like it all but I definitely think that the first two singles (Chaise Longue and Wet Dream) are the dumbest songs on the album. They're fun, but they really don't show off the songwriting skills that are on display on a lot of the other tracks.

Obviously listen to the rest of Bug but you really can’t go wrong with any of their discography besides maybe their most recent couple of records.

Ratios and Tendency posted:I'm only super familiar with You're Living All Over Me but Bug, Green Mind and Farm are my favorite albums, but the only albums I'd avoid to start with are Dinosaur, the rest of the 90s albums after Green Mind and maybe the most recent album, Sweep it into Space. For old Dino Jr before they reformed, the compilation Ear-Bleeding Country: The Best of Dinosaur Jr, looks pretty good but don't sleep on the albums from after they got back together, some of their strongest tracks are from this century.

Venomous posted:idk, Where You Been is great I mean, I think every album is pretty great but I don't know if any album is essential. Where You Been does have a lot of bangers though, and my copy has the bonus tracks including Keeblin' which is a top 10 song for me.

Going back a whole year and a half as I was just introduced to them yesterday: Dry Cleaning's New Long Leg is brilliant. I think Scratchcard Lanyard is the best song on the album: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6PuqlOTyJt0 Strong Feelings is my favourite track though. When the guitars pick up at 2:15  .https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XsujZ82VKDg

Big Thief was already my favorite band before they became stewards of the soul of John Prine but they just keep hitting me deeper. This performance of Dried Roses is magical (timestamped): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TCsFgJsJ5Uc&t=327s

Saw Mitski live last night and hadn't seen her since 2019 - it's mindblowing how she's improved as a performer since then and her show has so much more performance art elements, kinda on the wavelength of Bjork

Definitely haven’t topped it, but it’s hard to make something better than perfect. They came close with Womb with the more introverted lyrics and darker tones, but the lack of vocal fuckery that made Shrines so brilliant was kind of a bummer.

someone pointed out to me a musical technique where the rest of the music fades out on the drum hits to make them more impactful, and then also pointed out to me that purity ring does it in every single second of every song they make, and now its all I can hear and the band is ruined.

I might just be feeling old, but I listened to Shrines before their show that I ended up skipping (I've lost some the same drive I had when I bought the tickets in February 2020). I used to love that album and have very strong memories associated with it, but now it just sounds very dated? Finessing witch house into liquid trap felt very exciting and different at the time, but I think it was a movement that faded quickly, and Purity Ring's subsequent albums never made the same impression on me. megan james is still  though

I thought their deal was more Megan's songwriting than anything else that differentiated them early on amongst the sea of "synth bands, often duos, with female lead singers" that either got really popular or started getting signed up at that time whether or not that's a fair assessment -- Phantogram, Polica, Chvrches, etc. I liked them more than a lot of those other groups, but my interest dropped off with WOMB. "Asido" was the last song I remember liking. I listened to the latest EP and nothing really made much of an impression off the bat, "Soshy" was the best one but I heard that before the EP came out. Maybe it'll stick more with some repeated listens, but nothing has compelled me to listen again yet. Wish I could have seen them live though, seems like that's where they are really good. I still remember their appearance on Conan of "Repetition" being really stellar. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-tEJ27a2lZ0

It's been my aural Xanax. funny how "trap made in a sauna" didn't really take off while "Com Truise, but less horny" did it also feels like a lot of the artists on that playlist correctly sensed the need for something between synthwave's anthemic weapons-grade nostalgia and the almost procedurally generated numbness of lo-fi hip-hop beats. Hotel Pools, Forhill, and Eagle-Eyed Tiger are a few of my favorites for anyone interested. obvious followers of Washed Out and Home. kind of all sounds the same, but it's a vibe

Just saw CHVRCHES for the 2nd time. That's the first show I've seen in a while that had costume changes, and not just 1 but 3 (including the fake blood at the end)  That was awesome!

Aural Xanax is my trip ex dick psych grunge power pop solo project name. For real though, check out Moss of Aura, the Future Islands synth guys solo albums.
