Hell yeah, Maggot Brain is an all-timer for sure. All of those are great but Maggot Brain is something else

Any you haven't heard catch your interest?

It definitely is, Jamiroquai don't get talked about often but they have some great tracks
December 12, 2024 at 12:21 AM
agreed, that verse you did was crazy

Same, hoping for Checkpoints big time

Inflammable Material by Stiff Little Fingers has to be top 5 for me, and The First Two Records by Bikini Kill

I'll give them a listen on the morrow, completely unfamiliar with their music.

Interesting the way the world shifts around atrocity. Making a mental bookmark to check out this Chat Pile record, but Revelator was excellent.

Depending on the day, this could be the greatest hip hop record of all time for me

On the last track, I'm pretty mixed on it off a first listen. Feels far less deliberate than every other album he's released thus far, a lot of the tracks kind of feel just neutral, which is a way I rarely feel about Kendrick. Has some great ones too, but its a far more casual affair.

how you feeling about it? giving it a listen rn
November 22, 2024 at 7:36 PM
Animal Collective feels like it should be in the mentions

Anyone said Strictly Business yet? Feels pretty crucial

Revelator is far from hollow, with Elucid delivering many of the quotables he is known for over a colder and more distant soundscape, but he continues to find difficulty in holding solid ground throughout.

Smaller, snippet-esque tracks such as "Hushpuppies" seem to hold little bearing to a grander meaning at all. Although his efforts throughout are admirable, and incomparable to many other attempts made by artists of his scene, parts of Revelator seem almost lost.
November 18, 2024 at 5:29 AM
It makes Revelator at large a difficult listen, each track providing a new musing to dissect, but once dissected provides little else. The puzzles formed through unconventional sequencing are interesting but not long-lasting, and tracks that stuck with me trend closer to Elucid's traditional works.

Both rappers give much to think about, but where woods' verbose phrasing inspires thought from a grand comparison to historic events or lifestyle, Elucid's inspires a solemn look inside oneself. His more public affections give way to a more closed perspective in his music, an isolated rumination.
November 18, 2024 at 5:28 AM
The two star tracks for me are "Bad Pollen" & "In The Shadow Of If" - Bad Pollen demonstrates how well Elucid can play off his partner-in-arms woods. It's been well overstated, to the length where I feel Elucid gets overshadowed, but this dichotomy provides insight to the record's remainder.
November 18, 2024 at 5:27 AM
More so than any other hip-hop record I've heard of late, Revelator completely abandons the long-standing bases of the genre, the old friends of jazz, blues & funk. It feeds off repeated mantras, drawing power off these refrains.
November 18, 2024 at 5:26 AM
Revelator feels like a culmination to a few long-running veins in the underground scene - fusing the familiar but ever-changing abstract music found on Elucid's prior records like "I Told Bessie" & with an all-new electronica that sounds almost similar to Divine Styler "Spiral Walls".
