 Don't lie dlo. It's complete and utter dogshit.

 

I gave this a go and it suprised me how bad it is, I didn't believe it would be this bad. Made it halfway through.

 

It's ass bad as Rustie and worse than angelic 2 the core.

[Amen Warrior]

It's ass bad

[hello spiral]

 

It's cool and nice

dunno, this shit is worse than post 2010 dubstep, but at the same time it's better than post 2010 dubstep. Does not compute.

[Richie Sombrero]

If someone could edit Corey Feldman performing to this it would be dank.

[Richie Sombrero]

I don't hate it, it's just objectively shit.

[Silent Member]

Three years from now people will revisit this album and wonder why they ever liked it.

[sergeantk]

chiming in to say i really like this album, having read 0 reviews on it and hearing 0 outside opinions. Figured it would be unpopular round these parts (but surprisingly more people dug than i thought)

[Chris Toffer]

Yeah its not bad. Def a different sound for Tstew but he's done it so well. Spectrum Sequence is amazing

[doublename]

[Audioblysk]

I saw a kid who was even more awkward-hip than the T-man himself bumping that 'do it 4 u track' in his robins-egg-blue Nissan Leaf with a COEXIST sticker and Jesus fish sticker.

 

Life has officially become a simulation. 

[usagi]

this makes me hate LA even more.

[dr lopez]

"moving to la was something i had to do... for my well-being"

 

barf

[usagi]

lol yeah, like it's a haven of tranquility and wellbeing or something instead of a vacuous cesspit of media whores.

[joshuatxuk]

parts of the LA area are great - the sleepy lower middle class neighborhoods dominated by mom and pop shops and restaurants  - and the weather is actually quite amazing.

 

but that said that part of california is still fucking weird. I've never had any urge to live there or NYC for years, they are cesspools of fame chasers, snobs, and superficial primadonnas . hell austin, tx is bad enough in that regard lately, every other new person in their 20s who moves there is a trust baby with a half-baked goal, cash to burn and instagram account to upkeep. 

 

there is a valid argument that the scene is more chill in LA - the beat scene especially, labels like brainfeeder & leaving records are prime examples. it seems very opposite from Berlin or London as a producer.

 

I'd live in a Westworld-esque version of 1980s SoCal in a heartbeat though. 

 

[fumi]

Is that a frame from Top Gun?

[Avarik]

Vapor City sounds much more like LA than Human Energy does.

[fumi]

I went back to this again today and had another listen, wondering if I had been too quick to judge it.

 

It was actually worse than before. An utterly obnoxious album. I could not make through more than a minute of each song. It's like someone else said, the only human energy is that of irritation and disappointment.

 

It's like Hudmo and Rustie got together and spawned this abomination.

[bendish]

Been listening to Vapour City Archives down at the track...together with The Waiting Room by Lusine....great albums for exercising.

 

This on the other hand: no. Any album inspired by crystal healing has got to be suspect. Its so affected and empty.
