TSR&#x27;s One Album a Day Club

Beyoncé - Lemonade

Pray You Catch Me - I've always liked her voice, but none of the songs I've heard from her before had been my cup of tea. This, however, was GOOD. :yy:

Hold Up - Nice sound overall. :yy:

Though I struggle to take anything featuring air horns seriously these days. :laugh:

Don't Hurt Yourself - Chorus was good, and I liked the energy, but too sweary for me.

Sorry - N words. :bebored:

6 Inch - Epic. :yy:

Daddy Lessons - And suddenly, country music? Absolutely fine with me! :yy:

Love Drought - Meh.

Sandcastles - Love a good ballad. :yy:

Forward - Okay, short.

Freedom - Powerful. :yy:

Quite liked Kendrick Lamar's verses.

All Night - Noice. :yy:

Formation - Didn't like this.

7/10, better than I was expecting TBH.

Right time to intentionally listen to Beyoncé for the first time. My recent Spotify plays must look weird.

Lemonade

Pray You Catch Me - strange, nice

Hold Up - WHY ARE AIR HORNS A THING. NOBODY EVER ASKED FOR THEM. THEY HAVE NO PLACE HERE but alright song other than that

Don't Hurt Yourself - quite good

Sorry - bleah

6 Inch - nice?

Daddy Lessons - also good

Love Drought - alright

Sandcastles - good

Forward - not much to say

Freedom - eh

All Night - nice

Formation - ehhhhh

6/10, quite varied, alright to listen to, some nice songs but don't care for quite a few of them

Okay time to do a recommendation, haven't done one in a bit: Unknown Mortal Orchestra - Multi-Love. I discovered them recently, I've listened to one of their albums and a few other songs by them but I haven't listened to this album at all.

(btw Ffunny Ffriends has the most earworm-y riff I've ever heard)

The poll is no longer a tie, so somebody has spoken!

Album 71

System of a Down - Hypnotize:

Attack - A fantastic intro. :yy:

Dreaming - Epic. :yy:

Kill Rock 'n Roll - Turns out this song is about a rabbit a band member ran over. I guess it makes *a little* more sense now I know that? :p:

Awesome, either way. :yy:

Hypnotize - Better than I remember, which you'd hope from the title track! :yy:

Stealing Society - Yep, changing albums at the last moment was the right choice. :yy:

Tentative - Very emotional bridge. :yy:

U-Fig - Great fun. :yy:

Holy Mountains - I first learned of the Armenian Genocide via this song. Very powerful. :yy:

Vicinity of Obscenity - What a change in tone! Disgustingly hilarious. :yy:

She's Like Heroin - Alright.

Lonely Day - I've had a few days like that, thankfully not for a long time now. :yy:

Soldier Side - 11/10. :yy:

Or 10/10, that works too.

My replacement suggestion: Foo Fighters - The Colour and the Shape.

System of a Down - Hypnotize

Attack - idk the chorus seems so over-the-top it's funny

Dreaming - ok then I guess this is how it's going to be

Kill Rock 'n Roll - good...?

Hypnotize - alright...?

Stealing Society - eh

Tentative - alright...?

U-Fig - okay...?

Holy Mountains - yeeeeeah that one was good

Vicinity of Obscenity - what. I like the instrumental though.

She's Like Heroin - the lyrics page capitalises "ass". I don't know what to talk about.

Lonely Day - I liked this one.

Soldier Side - I also liked this one

hmmm... tough one, I think this conclusively determines for me that I don't really like heavy metal but there were still some songs I liked. 6.5/10...??

Album 72

Unknown Mortal Orchestra - Multi-Love

Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/album/587Clxxo1i5flgjvS52bEC

Multi-Love - an album I haven't heard from a band I have heard.

Multi-Love - alright. Slightly disappointed though.

Like Acid Rain - more like it

Ur Life One Night - weird sound but I like

Can't Keep Checking My Phone - nice

Extreme Wealth and Casual Cruelty - favourite so far. Cool outro

The World is Crowded - fairly relaxing. It's alright, more like background music

Stage or Screen - weird with headphones :lolwut:

and yes I also thought a new song had started during it

Necessary Evil - alright

Puzzles - pretty good.

7/10, nice songs but not as good as their first album I think. Is he self-conscious about his voice, too? Can't seem to find a song where it hasn't got some effect layered on.

Unknown Mortal Orchestra - Multi-Love

Multi-Love - Oh dear, I don't think I'm going to get along with this one!

Like Acid Rain - Nope.

Ur Life One Night - Music video was nice, at least?

Can't Keep Checking My Phone - Almost good, maybe? :dontknow:

Extreme Wealth and Casual Cruelty - ~~Better~~ Actually, nah, too long, it started grating on me by the middle. Nice instrumental bridge, though!

The World Is Crowded - Namedropping Evangelion isn't enough to get a thumbs up from me. :noway:

Stage or Screen - Not quite.

Necessary Evil - Something's still not clicking with me, but the best so far. :yy:

Puzzles - Noise.

1/10... sorry Sinnoh. :colondollar:

Album 73

Primal Scream - Screamadelica

Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/album/4TECsw2dFHZ1ULrT7OA3OL

Reply 672

Screamadelica:

Movin' On Up - Cheery intro, though not really my thing.

Slip Inside This House - Not bad at all. :yy:

Don't Fight It, Feel It - Quite catchy. :yy:

RIP Denise Johnson. :rip:

Higher Than the Sun - Alright.

Inner Flight - A pleasant instrumental. :yy:

Come Together - Nice message, but long and repetitive.

Loaded - RIP Andy Weatherall, too. :rip:

Don't think your music is for me, though. :colondollar:

Damaged - Very different to the last few tracks, more my style. :yy:

I'm Comin' Down - Relaxing. :yy:

Higher Than the Sun (A Dub Symphony in Two Parts) - Meh.

Shine Like Stars - Nice track to end on. :yy:

6/10

I think we're out of non-duplicate suggestions? :eek:

(apart from Ke$ha, but pls... act on your instincts, as the government says)

Some suggestions, haven't listened to most of them:

Rage Against The Machine (self-titled)
King Crimson - Starless and Bible Black
Disraeli Gears OR Layla & Other Assorted Love Songs OR Slowhand (they all feature Eric Clapton)
Tom Waits - Mule Variations

Thanks for the new suggestions! 'Set it Off - Midnight' from way back + my own recent suggestion of 'Foo Fighters - The Colour and the Shape' are the only other ones left, as far as I'm aware... this could quickly change into the two of us taking turns. :laugh:

I do not particularly listen to any of those artists in the poll, I'm more of a rock fan.

The poll was for our 70th album pick, which was last week, so is no longer relevant - we do a poll every 10 albums, but the rest are suggested by members and picked by myself or @Evil Homer. Feel free to suggest something!

Ah yeah the poll is done, but that's what happens when you're doing best of the 2010s
We've had quite a lot of rock though, that's got to have been the most common genre here
