Albums You're Digging II

It is a good album, but I think it's been shoved down my throat so much I can't stand the idea of it anymore. It's probably fine in the US but over here the press have an enormous boner for that album and it's becoming insufferable.
In reference to AM btw.

Great jazzy trip-hop right here. I hadn't listened to any of L'Orange's other releases but now I'm seriously inclined to. There are a lot of old jazz samples as well as sound bites from old films that work together very well. This album features Erik Todd Dellums, Erica Lane, Homeboy Sandman, Blu, Jeremiah Jae, and Billy Woods, the latter's track is the best on the album.

Old Soul is really good.

Swans - To Be Kind
This is amazing, uncomfortable in that classic Swans fashion.

This was a quite a refreshing and different album from what I've been listening to recently!

Some of the songs I am certainly not a fan of like that distorted crap (or whatever it is) in the third track (thought I must also mention that it too is refreshing and highly different, so props for that), and I find the vocalist extremely annoying and distracting at times, but the actual music for the most part is absolutely fantastic.

Cavier and Meths is easily my favorite song from this album, though the first track is a close second.

Overall though, this album flows really really well, and I could easily see myself listening to this entire album many times in the future.

Actress—Ghettoville (2014)
It took a couple listens for me to decide if I liked this or not. It's spare to the point of feeling repetitive if you're not in the mood for it, and it's produced in such a flattened, bleached out way that, no matter what you listen to it on, it sounds like you're hearing it through the world's smallest, crappiest speaker. The thing is I kept coming back and listening to it again and again though. There's something about it that just captures such a mood and I think it would make an excellent soundtrack to some downer neo noir movie.

Let it be known that the residents are very good and this is maybe their second best album after further investigation of them (maybe ill do a ranking later)

Still really digging this album. It's the best of his discography, hands down.
