SAD!

>>127373493 (OP)
why would an artist put out an album with such awful art?
don't they want people to listen to it?

>>127373786
>The cover art and three other pieces adorning the album's packaging were drawn digitally by Morrison on a personal computer at Water Music in the downtime between recording sessions. He claimed he was "just doodling" with no concept in mind when designing the artwork, and that other people in the studio had nonplussed or averse reactions to it

>>127373833
what a stupid fucking moron
and I'm telling it like it is

>>127373786
how old are you?

in 1999, MS Paint was such a fucking vibe, you would just sit at the computer and doodle shit. This album captures that era so well, it's honestly the perfect artwork for it

>>127373863
old enough to tell it like it is

>>127373871
Probably not, though...
You can't speak from any sort of position of authority with no lived experience zoomie.

How would you even know what "it" is?

>>127373917
I'm 29

>>127373493 (OP)
Love The Jitters and What Do You Want Me to Say? Don't care for the rest of the album

listened to it right now, and it's just the same bland indie rock slop again
you guys really ought to listen to more music

>>127374249

>>127373493 (OP)

>>127374412
>any ween album

>>127374421
>>127374435

>>127374516
Now I know you're trolling

>>127373493 (OP)
Pretty good album but its pretty accessible for not sure what you mean "it clicked"

>>127373786
I like the album art, it definitely got me to check out the album.. it is unique

>>127374831
>it is unique
so is brat's

>>127374883
maybe unique wasn't the right word.. eye catching? made me want to know more?

The album art is better than the borecore indie slop contained within

>>127373786
Idk senpai, as soon as I saw this album art I was intrigued. I still haven't listened to it in full but my brain immediately plays the first track. It fits

The only thing worse than bad memories
Is no memories at all

Man I fuckin' hate that album

I Love A Magician is really good, Memory Machine is fine but I cant stand the rest of it. You are Invited is so contrived. The Jitters is fuckin' terrible

I like Dismemberment Plan is Terrified a lot more, but at this point i skip a lot of the second half of that album too

>>127373786
its actually kinda cool and iconic desu

>>127373493 (OP)
Love that cover art but man that album is soooo ass.

THEY'LL MAKE A MEMORY MACHINE, TO WAX OUR HEARTS TO A BLINDING SHEEN

WHAT DO YOU WANT TO HEAR
TO LET YOU KNOW THAT I DO MEAN IT

This album sounds like someone listened to 90s indie rock and thought "cool but what if I take out everything about it that evokes any emotion and made the most bland shit possible"

I really have been so consistently filtered by DSP for like 20 years at this point. One of the few artists where I genuinely can not understand what people are seeing in them that I'm not.

>>127377329
I Love A Magician is the worst song on the album. ass taste.

>>127374249
do you play music
if you're just a listener, you wouldn't get it

>>127373833
It's pretty cool for something he just doodled.

>>127378723
Brother, You Are Invited is right after it on the album, and that song is a pandering, cynical pile of dogshit. Liking it more than Magician is ridiculous, you trout. My opinions are fact.

>>127378924
NTA I'm >>127378551 and I even had a mid indie rock band that toured several years ago but DSP filters me. Like, I don't hate it but it approaches serialism in its complete inability to make me feel anything except boredom.

>>127379001
you're just mad you never got invited

>>127373493 (OP)
I don’t think I’ve listened to this album in over a decade

>>127373786
the album art is great tho
would probably never have listened to the album otherwise

>>127374883
also great album art

THERE'S NO ONE TO KNOW
THERE'S NOTHING TO DO
THE CITY'S BEEN DEAD

>>127373493 (OP)
I lost my membership card to the human race

>>127373493 (OP)
glad for you

>>127373493 (OP)
It doesn't have to 'click' though. Its a very accessible album. Sure the lyrics only seem like they make sense when you're a teenager and are only truly realised in adulthood... if ageing into it is what you mean by it clicking then i understand. but otherwise no

>>127373493 (OP)
This record encompasses the confusion of being in your late 20's without any career prospects, wearing your heart on your sleeve, rebound dating a succubus while getting over the oneitis, the looming fear of technology, anxiety and dreadful isolation with all the possibilities for change while being alone in a crowd, the city.

>>127373493 (OP)
I prefer ...is Terrified but E&I is a classic

ITS ENDLESS, ITS MAPLESS, NO COMPASS, NO NORTH STAR

A Life of Possibilities, What Do You Want Me to Say?, Spider in the Snow, The Jitters, You Are Invited, Gyroscope, The City are all great songs

Memory Machine, Girl O'clock, 8 1/2 minutes are all meh

Only I Love A Magician is a bad song

>>127384936
I forgot Back and Forth, which is good and a nice ending song

>>127384936
c'est faux
The jitters and is bad
GOC, Invited, and spider in the snow are mid
everything else is baste

>>127384936
I thought about replying to this thread, as I consider the album out of season, best enjoyed towards the end of fall throughout Feb. Seems The Plan are best enjoyed during New Years. E&I, is in no way a summer record, all of the scenarios/lyrics focus around fall/winter, it carries the change of autumn to the dead of winter and reflecting with that change. I'm only being practical when observing this dialogue on the topic

With that said Memory Machine is perfect, the build up is spectacular to lay in the hook, genius where the swarm of sound layers Travis' voice, it's all or nothing, J. Robbins production greatly enhances this track, it's certainly a highlight amongst highlights on an otherwise stellar album. Again, I'm a seasonal listener, so I'm not running back on the track.

>>127387609
based seasonal music enjoyer. this album is peak summer IMO

>>127373493 (OP)
This is probably my favourite album of all time desu. Btw I'm white and I jack off to the goombas from Super Mario Bros

Spider in the Snow makes me really nostalgic
I used to bump that song at some of the loneliest times in my life.

>>127373731
Shit artwork
Solid 3.5
best: memory machine
Runner up: life of possibilities, magician
Change is better and their best

>>127388156
Cringe weeb shit

>>127388404
Why do janny/trannies hate this album?

>>127388452
not a tranny fucking faggot weeb troon

It deserves all the praise it gets

As p4k-core grows old and stale like Arcade Fire, Strokes, and Bon Iver, this album stands above the rest and stands the test of time

>>127373493 (OP)
Honestly I think the cover art is a big reason I don't like the album. I listened to it without even knowing what genre it was just because the art was so eye-catching. I guess I was expecting something a lot more interesting and experimental than the, if I'm being honest, perfectly good indie rock that it ended up being. The cover art should match the sound goddamn it!

pic related mfw the entire time listening to it

>>127389905
>As p4k-core grows old
EMERGENCY & I and, like, SPLIT PERSONALITIES 12 Rods, DOWNWARD IS HEAVENWARD Hum, and 13 Blur *were* the original P4K core…. back in the day.

How it turned into Clap Your Hands And Say Yeah/Animal Collective I’ll never understand… hard to believe now but Pitchfork actually used to be kinda sick.
