Oh, I will listen to it again later in the week for this and see if my opinion changes. I just needed to put down my initial thoughts on it before I forgot what I felt.

[Samuel.]

Ain't got time to relisten to an album I didn't particularly like the first time around.

[Shaun]

OK. Thanks

[Jords]

oh Gold Panda, Ive stumbled across him before on YT but forgot

[Tom4784]

I can't find this album anywhere and Spotify is being a stupid bitch so I'll assume this album is not worth my time.

[jackc1806]

I'll do it!

[Shaun]

I'm gonna give this a 7/10. I think I'd enjoy it more if I were just lying around somewhere and not having to worry about anything the production's really nice and serene, and I love the eastern influences.

But at the same time there are lapses of interest for me and it may be a little overegged. He's an excellent producer though.

Favourite tracks are 5950, Junk City II, We Work Nights and Brazil.

[Ramsay]

Shall listen to it tonight

[Glenn.]

I'll listen to this tonight. I will not forget this one

Gold Panda, Half Of Where You Live - 6.5/10. It was a nice album, but I'm struggling to say much more about it than that. It just didn't make much of an impression, and the tracks just seemed to flit in and out without impacting me all that much. That being said, I did like a few of them: 5950 (which is remarkably similar to Desired Constellation by Björk) being my favourite.. it was simple and quirky, and it grabbed my attention somewhat whilst I was listening, and it's perhaps one of the few tracks that I would listen to again (along with Junk City II, Brazil, and The Most Liveble City).

5/10

Pleasant but forgettable, I didn't hate listening to it but I can't remember much about it afterwards.

[Samuel.]

-would choose Born Sinner-

[Jords]

EOTS or Tunng, havnt heard much of either but seem my taste.

[Niall]

I'd quite like to try Sigur Ros. I've been meaning to listen to them for ages now but I'll do whatever.

[Shaun]

no sigur ros please


booooooring whalesong music.

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

um can stop being hipster please and just pick yeezus bc i have already listened to it about 50 times so it will be an easy review for me and its really good bye

[Benjamin]

Have listened to HOWYL a few times now. It's grown on me slightly, but still a bit of a drab album (especially compared to some of their previous which I have also listened to this week). Saying that, We Work Nights is the best track and is actually one of my fave tracks at the moment.

Best time to listen: When on a comedown or high, or background music with friends at a BBQ.


Still 5/10

[Black Dagger]

7/10

It was actually a nice album, bit meh at parts, lots of filler, but good stuff. (sorry I haven't done a proper review)

Didn't Kodaline technically come out this week? Because if it did then I'd pick them because I love it.

Otherwise I want Empire Of The Sun

[Samuel.]

Hope Sean drops you a couple of dozen places in the greatest members thread

[Shaun]

is he even in it

and ok, noted. You've cast a dark shadow over this game Lucas.

[Samuel.]

Can't wait.

[Shaun]

lucas what are you doing

[Locke.]

Oh, I liked High Hopes, I will do this one

[Samuel.]

We could do a group listening on Plug for these. Pretty easy to find full albums on Youtube.
