    this is what i want to hear when i listen to this album while reading write-ups. but sadly it's from a different album, by a different artist 3 years ago. I listened to both albums today and the sophie did grow on me but the HH has a much more noticeable song structure and tonality than the sophie tracks. tonality, melody, song structure - those are certainly things I would associate with "pop" more than just cuing "ae aeffects" on the monomachine with embarrassing superficial lyrics about your face and shopping over the mix. it's becoming clear that as long as you market yourself as "pop," or even worse "subverting pop," that you'll get much more press than if you don't, no matter what your music actually sounds like. this same kind of shit happened with the opn release. "IT'S POP!! IT'S NEW POP" wtf do people think pop music actually is?

    bahahahaha white horse is so fucking amazing. how does he do it. i play it at every party right when things are getting hectic and the white pony may have already appeared. such a win, everyone goes mental, esp the partygoers who were previously complaining about me playing too much steely dan

    here are some things both the press and people here are saying about why this album is good or is worth listening to or w/e. I don't hate it as music i guess but it seems completely not worth any one's time 1. People are saying it's "experimental" and "like autechre" etc. well fine but it's certainly several levels below anything we've already had (autechre or otherwise) and it's not adding much to the discussion of experimental electronic music. as salv said it also sounds bad. 2. It's somehow experimental or challenging pop music conventions. "sprawling and beautiful, while still keeping the disorienting, latex-pop feel of her fascinating production technique" i think is what pitchfork said. lol. again this is well-tread territory and I don't see sophie adding anything new that is worth more than a cursory listen. Ultrademon / Lily is probably wondering why she isn't the one making the headlines. Seapunk is much better than this. Chatroom with Enya is better than this entire album. 3. I saw two trans hipster friends post on their instagram story about how this album "is life-changing!!! no one else makin music sounds like thISS!! clapping hands emoji" and so forth. fair enough. They are engaging with music they probably wouldnt pay attention to and enjoying it. While an annoying IDM pedant like me would take issue with their claims of uniqueness I won't begrudge them liking sophie. but just because that artist is also in your marginalized minority and then just saying "I LOVE THIS" is generally lame and obvious. lvl 1 woke status. this approach makes it harder to distinguish actually liking something for yourself or doing it for social media likes. diminishes the art's impact imo. (this is a SWM take) so in short, i see no reason to listen to this album at all

    r kelly's new song is good- starting a verse of an emotional testimony with "I ADMIT THAT I LOVE STEVE HARVEY". what could go wrong.

    I don’t get it. I assume you’re talking about the World Cup ball thing. But for your joke to work we think she takes balls to the face regularly? Is that a joke people make often? Is that a common thing people say about her? I’ve certainly never heard that.

    disappointed that I missed out on the vinyl for this. it's an incredible record and im sure it would sound absolutely flawless on the hifi. edit: ahh i see there is a repress pre-order up on phonica. well... that's settled!
