Clark - Sus Dog (new album)

[thumbass]

I dont know what to make of it. On the one hand this is arguably  the best new era Clark work. It's very well produced and I guess his vocals sound good for a newby. On the other hand, it's just not my thing. I have defended his works ever since most people started turning sour on him but I don't know.

I really dislike Thom Yorke too so yeah. It could be a grower, well see.

I know I’m a broken record on every new chris clark release thread - he doesn’t stop exploring - he always pushes himself - blah blah blah. While I agree with the Thom voice sentiments already expressed, I give tons of credit for just going full tilt on what his voice is. He’s used it a lot and obviously has a knack for hooks but damn, there are a ton of vocal hooks on this and good ones at that. Have to give him props for pushing his own creativity. There’s nothing better than that than any artist can do. Looking forward to exploring this much more than anything he’s done in many many years.

My favourite thing he’s done in almost 20 years. This is really good.

Yeah I’m not sure but in a weird way I think this might be why I like it so much. Just kind of going back to his roots and trying shit, rather than fitting a record label uh… label. Not a fan of tom porke ofc and I hear the relation but like Clark’s version better 😆

I've always had a soft spot for this.

This album seems to be picking up steam with good vibes in various places so I’m gonna give it a spin. It certainly sounds intriguing. I’m not a huge Clark fan but respect him and enjoy various bits and pieces he has created over the years. So count me in Mr Clark ☝️

Do I like it as a “Clark” album? As in, does it give me all the reasons I love “Clark Albums”.

 No.

Is it a fantastic album with a bonus of a lot of the reasons I love Clark?  

 Absofuckinlutely.

Just gorgeous. Will be getting heavy rotation now and future.

Also gonna put this and playground on a lake in a playlist together and give it a listen on random a la drukqs. The harder beat drive vocal tracks meet the new classical leanings…

After all my nasty comments (if for anything I will go to hell for haha) I like this surprisingly much. It even made me revisit Iradelphic. The emotional middle part sounds so Body Riddle and yet fresh. There is still hope I guess. I wonder how he will perform this live?

LOVE LOVE LOVE this release!

You know what, it's a mad grower. I might have to take back what I said. It really seems like he's finally found his footing.
