i'm not too familiar with their early stuff, but Before The Dawn Heals Us is great and Saturdays = Youth has some great highs too. Hurry Up, We're Dreaming is their 'biggest' album in pretty much every sense of the word, but it didn't really work for me as much as it did for everyone else. they always had a propensity for the dramatic but it reached a level of bombast bordering on portentous that i just didn't connect with but i'm in the slim minority. Junk lives up to its name, but it's laudable for just being such a left turn into straight-up weirdoville. after three albums with a fairly logical progression in sound, they're like "let's do some weirdo EDM shit with Steve Vai" lmao
Dead Cities, Before The Dawn Heals Us are their best albums front to back. Saturdays=Youth is around when they started losing me but it has a really strong opening track so I still give it to them. Hurry Up We're Dreaming and everything after is pretty much them rolling in cash while doing the we love to score movies now and do songs to play behind teens making out to the maximum. Not a fan of that album or anything that followed it save the Oblivion score.
If you've never checked out Dead Cities, Red Seas & Lost Ghosts I'd highly recommend it. It's probably my favorite. Before the Dawn Heals Us is where they really honed in on their sound but Red Cities is like a rougher/weirder version of that. You've probably heard "Run Into Flowers" or "Unrecorded" off this before, there was a time where it was used in a few trailers in the mid aughts iirc.
Chance deleted this, but it is called "The Big Day" and is out next Friday.
I never thought I'd say this but I'm actually hyped for a rich Brian album.
88 Rising in general has been killing it.
Him working with Alchemist again is great. Fetti had some of the best production last year.
Wow.

Stupid mobile page jumping me to the wrong thread.
Wow.
This is actually good? Soulful beat, a non-monotone voice, and some actually attempts at diversifying his sound?
he already did with the last one:Wow.

I honestly thought that was going to be the fluke on his new album, but he's really trying to grow.
But if we stop listening to his old shit he'd be forced to put out new music.
Did Frank even jump onto any new features this year?
Considering this is Nas, Frank, and Hit-Boy, this might be "No Such Thing as White Jesus" from 2012, but with someone else singing Frank's parts.the frank credit is probably just nas sampling a frank song
PLEASE BE A FT THO
"Groceries" wasn't that good. Plus, we know nothing about the record.why does the hype for chance's new album feel totally non existent
