ok yeah i was definitely hating this is pretty nice, that track with dave though no thanks

switch 1 and 2 and its pretty much mine lol

No sample?

the colour in anything that low is absolutely criminal

it's actually his best so even more criminal really

james really one of the greatest

Solo Through the High Wire stinks

Been sitting with this one for about 3-4 listens now….EVERYTHING gets better with every new listen, the only thing I’m not vibing with is the Dave track and Obsession… cool idea but ish sounds like a Billie Eilish interlude

hmmm
will have to relisten sometime this week

this was mad disappointing on first listen

Rest Of Your Life is the coolest and best song on here by a mile imo

solid album, not a favorite but nice

Yeah man I gotta say the same unfortunately. Granted I've always preferred electronic Blake and a couple moments like Days Go By gave me the classic feeling, but overall this felt like Friends That Break Your Heart part 2 and I was very much hoping it wouldn't be lol. Perfectly fine songs to be fair, just not my thing. At its worst it dips into smarmy territory especially with the lyrics, I Had A Dream She Took My Hand is probably the corniest s*** he's ever written though it does work a bit better in context.

Will relisten for sure though. It's James Blake he always gets a relisten.

1. Assume form
2. James Blake
3. Playing robots
4. The colour in anything
5. Overgrown
6. Trying times
7. Friends that break your heart

I Had A Dream She Took My Hand is probably the corniest s*** he's ever written

Man WHAT

That’s arguably the most beautiful record he’s ever written

Brother I will not lie to you "nothing left to do but grip on that hand" hit me like first time I heard it

I don't know maybe I've just not clicked with it yet but I was really not feeling that one

Did he reuse anything from the Ye War stuff?

Unbelievable so far

Through the high wire?

I will not directly comment on that statement

Although I remember my friend who is a James Blake super stan used to say (said it a few times between '16-'19) all of James' music is about/seemed like it was inspired by him being depressed and unable to get girls

Although James said it was friends that broke his heart/the root of his sadness, although I guess seeking romantic companionship also be about trying to fill that social hole

Days Go By made my ears perk up for real
James doing a very successful fusion had me feeling 18 again

too bloated

That closer is so bad lmaooo

Monica Martin song hard tho

Peaked with if car besides you
