July 19, 201510 yr The White Stripes – De Stilj Cat Stevens – Tea for the Tillerman Edited July 19, 201510 yr by HiWire
July 19, 201510 yr Listened to that yesterday on Tidal, and had a good first impression! Anne's colleague takes her son to the same private school in Chicago as Jeff Tweedy's younger son. Says he's a really nice guy, very down to earth. I keep asking Anne when they are going to set up a small private solo acoustic concert for us, which Jeff does for charity, on occasion. Hasn't happened yet ...
July 20, 201510 yr Leprous, The Congregation -- metal with keyboards and clean vocals, I am in heaven. And some pretty spiffy modern production.
July 21, 201510 yr When it leaked, before it was released, I was all hot and bothered about it, but all the leaks on Youtube were 1.5 speed for some reason -- it was annoying. Don't go there.
July 21, 201510 yr I wonder if they do that to get past a copyright sweep? By the way, there is a dropdown box to change the playback speed, so you change it, and the track sounds like it should. It's embedded in the settings (gear) button. It happened to me, and I had the WTF face. So I fiddled around and badda-bing. In your case, play back at half speed, and all would have been well.

July 21, 201510 yr No no, the videos I posted are at the correct speed. I tried speeding up the videos I found ("(full album)" type stuff -- was around 1.5 hours, IIRC), but it sounded disjointed with itself, if that makes any sense. I'd rather not revisit -- it is the stuff of musician nightmares -- but you're welcome to do what you will. As always. I have a feeling it's a little too saccharin cloying for many repeated listenings (~100 or so), but for now (~12 or so), it is appealing to my sweet tooth.
July 21, 201510 yr I figured you would not post erroneous links, so I was commenting on the other ones you mentioned before. How odd that you had no luck with the speed change. I had no problems with the ones I encountered. Bummer. I just finished listening to Bilateral. I like a lot of it, but nothing really grabbed me on first pass. I'll give it more time off and on in the coming days to get a better feel for it. I have a feeling you may be right regarding the limited replay value though.
July 21, 201510 yr I didn't like Bilateral anywhere near as much as The Congregation or even Coal. EDIT: That sequence of Rewind/The Flood/Triumphant just rocks mah soxorz. NO SLEEP 'TIL CAVITY!
July 23, 201510 yr I still have fucking Leprous stuck on infinite repeat. Triumphant better be the next single, I have it in my playlist twice.
July 23, 201510 yr Alright, Dusty. Just finished The Congregation. We agree on a lot, but neither album did much for me in the end. Sorry, man
July 23, 201510 yr No worries! I suspect I am alone on a lot of things, and I am alright with that. Did you ever listen to In the Nursery's Hindle Wakes -- that one just puzzles me. I have no idea what is that appeals to me so much about that album, but it just stands out in a multiple decades long career of two brothers as far and away their best album.
