For That Beautiful Feeling (XDUST12)

[cowboy]

3.8 was harsh, but to be fair, I don't think it's a "lie" in comparison to their other work.

Yeah, that's fair - it strays from their past work but it's definitely not a 3.8. Anything above a 5 is good enough for me. 

WATN is not a starter album for new fans

True. I definitely never recommend WATN to people that are interested - I give them EPD, DYOH or NG. Though an album not suitable to 'outsiders' doesn't necessarily equate to a poor score, I think. 

[cowboy]

Lol, right? I am squarely in the pro-We Are The Night camp, and that scathing, low score had my panties all bunched up for days, haha

I live, eat and breathe WATN. I treat it like gospel. Especially during The Salmon Dance

I'd be scared to know what counts as good music for that particular reviewer.

Miguel's "Kaleidoscope Dream"

Did he maybe put WATN on backwards?

He only listens to Harpoons but never to Snooprah

Can anyone help me here? What pop-cultural phenomenon is this referencing to? Taylor Swift? And if yes, in what way?

I have to admit, similar to @sneakerbeater in the themes board, seeing these LPs like that, the artwork is slowly growing on me. It'll be real hard to miss any format in the record store, for sure.

Of course it's Taylor Swift
She is recently re-recording all of her previous albums (called album name + "Taylor's Version"), because her previous record label in some fuckery sold the master records to a music manager who bullied her: https://time.com/5949979/why-taylor-swift-is-rerecording-old-albums/
By re-recording all of her work, she's not only regaining ownership of her songs but also giving her fans a chance to listen/buy the music without contributing to the profits of a person who she's not on good terms with.
I even remember posting about this here, because iirc there's some fun legal stuff where the new owner now has the rights to the records, but not the rights to the songs themselves, and without those the ways in which he can profit from it are very limited.

Aaah!! I remember having read something about this, most likely your post even, but didn't made the above connection. Thanks!
I wonder how the Brothers have been able to navigate this, given the recent development of moving their entire catalogue to BMG.
