That's totally fine and of course (!) everyone will have a different opinion about something. I don't care if people don't like it. Clearly the album cover is riffing on a sort of stock imagery/Dutch sort of design style which is not to everyone's taste and that's totally fine — but to call it childish/bad just came off as v uniformed and did not sit well with me. That is all ~

LOL, y'all are cute and entitled to your own opinion, but the art direction for this era is pretty on point/well designed. I sometimes forget how behind the times Buzzjack really is...

God, the latest episode is so good. It boggles my mind that the Khaleesi's army plotline has just barely started to intertwine w the other plotlines. Such a massive story, it's kind of unbelievable how they fit it all in. I've considered listening to the books on tape, but I'm worried it'll kill some of the surprise of the show.

Congrats Jake :wub:

And I'm about to graduate with a degree in it, how can you not see the Dutch influence? It feels pretty current and well-designed to me, I think dismissing it as a "7 year old playing about with photo shop" is a pretty ignorant thing to say tbh.... Brought to mind a couple of designers: http://theknife.net/ http://www.chrislange.ca/ http://www.travisstearns.com/ http://www.eenontwerp.nl/# http://k-u-n-g.com/

Yes

I voted! So sorry for pushing it till the last minute!

im voting

LOL clearly you know nothing about contemporary graphic design :S Easily the best album cover of the year so far... This album grows on me each time I listen. Truly stunning — A Cherry on Top is probably my favorite right now.

Sorry but so many of these are so boring 2 me :(

Y'all better!!!! I'll send out PMs soon, I've been busy

If I had to guess I'd say 3. Where Have You Been? 2. Umbrella 1. We Found Love

Can we do a joint entry? Aerdice?

J96ujGstSUw My next entry

Nevermind then! UK time vs US time always switches me up ): lol

Wait I got a deduction? Not that it matters, but I'm almost 100% positive I voted yesterday... I even have the votes in a TextEdit document lmao and some people would have gotten thru who didn't if I sent them. I may have like totally blanked and left them like unsent tho idk

I haven't been top 10 since Purity Ring...

Kind of boring tbh

Okay, like I mentioned before, I have Listen At Your Own Peril!! 01. One Wow!!!!! I love this. Really tight drum n bass background with like a funky satar sounding instrument overlayed?? Next level. I love it. Who is this???? 9/10 02. Zwei Really dark sort of vibe. Heavy bass. Icy RNB vocals - a lil Twigs-y but more rough around the edges but I like that. Never really culminates into any "aha!" moment but I love the vibe still. 8/10 03. Trois Not quite as exciting as the last two. Has a spoken word over electronic background but it does not really appeal 2 me emotionally. Alright but never really captures my attention tbh 5/10 04. Quatro Sort of dancehall-ish electro background with male vocals. Definitely not drawn to male vocals as much tbh, but I do like a lot of the production on this. Kinda funky. Spunky n a lil over all the place in a good way! 6/10 05. Cinque Beginning almost reminded me a lil of Kyary Pamyu Pamyu LOL sorry. Kind of lame like indie-pop vocals tho, sort of reminds of like Two Door Cinema Club in a way, or just has that sort of "vibe". Not my thing but still a catchy pop song. 5/10 06 Seks Same as the long song really ): Sorry. This one has a lot more interesting production tho. 6/10 07 Toto - Africa 10/10 oh my god I was literally just like watching this last night LOL. I always have loved this song. I came home from a party drunk last night and like forced my boyfriend to watch the video. It's just one of those songs. God the production on this...80s stuff like this, Men At Work, just gets 2 me and gets in my head idk why 08 Cults - Go Outside Aw this song is still so QT! If people don't know it yet, they should. I hate them though besides this song LOL 8/10 09 Devyat I am going 2 guess this song is called In the Water. It is really catchy! This is more of the male vocals I like 2 hear. Has a Tanlines/Lemonade vibe. It could even be them and I wouldn't be surprised hahaha, one of my favs on the CD! So summery 8/10 10 Ata Kind of similar vibe to the last one, mix of synth elements and guitar. Male vocals. Not as good as the last song, but the production is interesting and is sort of starting to dig its way into my brain. good! 7/10 Overall, really, really good!! And everyone should get a link. Three or four songs I didn't know that I definitely want to be a part of my library, and I literally listened to Africa like 3 times after hearing it here. Obviously I know who made this, but I'll let you reveal yourself!

Mine is coming LOL, sorry for being such a lil last minute host!!! Been busy with thesis/getting a job. But it is comin ;)

Agree w the P4K review (ha!)...which is a shame bc with all of the old bands coming out with new albums this year, I was for sure the YYYs would BRING it!!! But it's such a dull record!! I need some fresh blood this year tbh bc right now there's hardly anything I'm living for, besides maybe Shaking The Habitual. I loved Show Your Bones too...

Such a boring band tbh :S
