I posted my opinion with the colors and all then realized I could sum it up way more easily with words.

Feels should be red.

If we were going by Dreww's method in the director's section (which I think works best) I would red that entire run, and italicise SJ and MPP.

Yeah, if Fall Be Kind is red then Feels should be. The number of indie bands that sound like Feels-era AC is unbelievable. I've seen like 5 in Montreal alone.

Italic reds aren't going to be implemented until I complete all the tiers for all bands who currently have a thread. I'm doing them in incriments. That's why not all bands have a thread right now.

And when I do, the Italic album(s) will only be the 1 (or in rare cases 2) albums listed as "Recommended First Listen" so
Red Italics = albums listed as Recommended First Listen (which will merge with this and won't appear on the bottom of the page)
Red Bold = same as Dreww's red bold
Bold = same as Dreww's bold
Normal = same as Dreww's normal

This got left back in the old forum...

Panda Bear – You Can Count On Me/Alsatian Darn 7"

Code:

pandy://www.mediafire.com/?46yoaapb8988r2q

much much much better than Tomboy/Slow Motion imo

Also, what do y'all think of Down There?

Agreed. Waiting to see if a better quality version of the leak makes a difference at all.

I just got Campfire Songs on CD! I'm very excited to hear it, I haven't heard an AC album for the first time in over a year.

I've yet to get ODDSAC, it seems really under-distributed, and I'm working my way through their rarer stuff.

when i first listened to down there I was like cot dam. but then like 10 min later, i was just like dam it's solid

edit: and then i listened to it again and it sucked. not actively sucked though, just boring sucked

Man, Kria and Avey broke up, makes me so sad. Definitely can see how that influenced Down There, which I actually like a lot. What's your guys' (those who aren't so big on it) problems with it? Just curious.

so boring

On my listens so far, it just haven't offered up anything that I can latch onto as an entry point for getting into the rest of the album. Maybe I'll break through eventually.

Trippiest interview ever. Might help spark some interest in the album.
