ElricAs a stan since Funeral dropped, Reflectktor better than either
On paper I'd actually agree but idk. The performances and some of the arrangement choices strike me as somewhat lifeless. Loved it when it came out but it was kind of a thing of diminishing returns. didn't listen in ages since their subsequent albums were meh

unabashed dance rock is low-key my absolute comfort zone so it's grown on me more that the mournful/hyper earnest stuff

etc... great yearI don't know how you can just causally rank Atem with the rest of this

You don't really love 2010 until you Re listen and acknowledge the GOATness of the sprawling, cataclysmic, heart wrenching majesty of Have One on Me

I do think it's weird too but idk Atem just left me completely shook when I first listened to it.
and Drift Away just has that amazing chorus. I knew it from the radio too but it's still just too good

In vocal style they are worlds apart though. The way Joanna and Joni sting together a melody always leaves me hanging but the way those other chicks do it always floors me.

Jan 14·edited·1 replyElricApparently Ian Anderson declared that he had "mastered the formula" when he wrote this

which he promptly never approached again 
I think this whole album is incredible and this song is one of my favorites. I wore it out listening to it non stop a few months ago. You stole my thunder. I wanted to post that song once you moved onto 74.

he's like that artist than anyone should have loved considering our taste but it took a while to get around to him and it's fully worth it. Guy had so much soul in his music.
If I listen to Which Will by Nick Drake followed by May You Never by John Martyn, I’ll cry every time.
