Listening to this again. Really superb stuff. Deej, get on it. Available on Spotify.

Quoting yourself, Goof? There's a name for that... :rofl:
On another note, cool cool cool avatar! :thumb:

I'm an egomaniac Trollheart :D And that album is great. I'd hesitate to recommend it to you though, unless you're feeling particularly eclectic tonight.

John Coltrane & Archie Shepp - New Thing at Newport

Some incredible free jazz with the standard set of Coltrane players like Elvin Jones, McCoy Tyner, Paul Chambers, Jimmy Garrison, etc. What I wouldn't give to be able to see this show.

I don't know what is wrong with me because I have literally listened to it hundreds of times before but I am having a resurgence of love for My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy after hearing that Jon Connor album. I don't think Kanye will ever come close to making an album so perfect. Seriously impossible to rank the songs at all because I love them all so much.
Also really digging Joanna Newsom's Ys again - so so beautiful and Joanna remains the only songwriter who can keep me captivated for a nineteen minute long song. I need her to release some new material.

What did you think of the Jon Connor album?

Will do even though I rarely use Spotify. This might be my second time using it.

I liked it a lot, the guy clearly has a lot of talent but it just made me want to listen to the original material to be honest. I don't know if I see much value in retreading old ground, in the grand scheme of things.

I love a lot of Kanye's music but some of the songs are simply far superior in my opinion.

Liars - Mess (2014)
I wasn't sure I'd like this based on samples I initially heard and the intro to the first track. But even just after the first spin I knew I was into this. Definitely a shift for them, but that's the case with each album. Surprised I haven't seen any mention of it around here yet. Also the New Release Rating forum is really lacking lately. :confused:
