Official Yeezus get hype thread
-
I really would like the new Earl and the new Surfer Blood.
give them to me. -
new Surfer Blood would be interesting. Obviously both new Earl albums (if both are released in 2013). Definitely new Nails, there's supposed to be a new Touche Amore too.
-
I'm excited for new Danny Brown, Death Grips (not confirmed yet), Nails, Kvelertak, Intronaut, J Cole, Killing Joke and Exodus.
-
I'd be happy without Death Grips next year.
-
yeah especially after NLDW. What a terrible sounding album.
-
@shin0bz thanks for reminding me about new Danny Brown. And Kvelertak's new one as well, I think that's out in March
-
It doesn't have to be new music, they'll do something we'll all hear about and ponder over for a week.
[DG I mean] -
no Robby I just mean three albums in two years is a bit much for me, that's all.
-
I honestly think DG might tour-horde throughout 2013. Hell, they have enough material to do it, but they're unpredictable.
-
I'm with Nick, they can't keep rapid fire releasing shit. If they keep putting stuff out at this pace It's going to be a case where a new Death Grips album just isn't that exciting anymore.
-
Any other band I would agree but considering how different each album is from one another, how is it not exciting?? I'm having trouble with that one.
-
I 80% agree with Kyle. I'd much rather them tour more next year, or at least it makes more sense.
-
Death Grips are already at a place where each album is like an event, like new Radiohead, new Arcade Fire, new Kanye.
News stories, controversies, and people waiting on reviews.
It's not about what the record is like, it's about the amount of press coverage suffocating the music behind it. It just exhausts me to see another article on Pitchfork about Death Grips, or to read another review about The Money Store.
If there was an event band of the year, it was definitely them.
Unlike bands like Woods, which consistently quietly release records for the fans once a year, and if you listen, you listen, but if you don't, no one cares.
Imagine being in the music blogosphere and not being a Death Grips fan, it would have been like dodging bullets trying to get away from anything about them. -
-
oh i get it its my hair
-
LOL! OK, guys, let's adjourn this Death Grips marketing strategy meeting and get back together tomorrow to discuss the promotion of the 5 albums they'll be releasing next year.
New Kanye would be great. Danny Brown, Kvelertak, Ghost. I'm psyched for 2013, but I wonder want genres or trends will be on the come up. I think female rappers might make a lotta noise next year. -
im banking on post-vaporwave
-
oh yeah there is supposed to be a new Kanye next year. However if it's in the same direction as he's seemed to have gone with Watch the Throne and Cruel Summer I'm not interested.
-
Pththth to Kanye album. He has what? maybe a couple good tracks per album lately? 3 at most.
Zach said he wasn't a fan of touring, so I would be surprised to see DG recycle their spots in 2013 unless they have new releases. That said, if their plan is to tour setlists, I wouldn't mind. I can't imagine them not putting out a release in 2013. I suppose they could do an EP. I dunno, that would seem like a cop out for them.
Looking forward to a new Arcade Fire, Sleigh Bells, Danny Brown, BBNG3, James Blake
Hoping for new TuneYards, Death Grips (maybe mid to late 2013 some of us will be ready), SBTRKT
I dunno.. whatever, as long as it's good. I only hold a few allegiances.
-
I like tracks 1, 2, 3 and 9 from ASAP's new shit. Everything else offends my ears.
-
"solid cloudrap bangers". Exactly my expectations =/
-
oh yeah Arcade Fire are supposed to have one next year too. Hope I like it more than their last one.
Oh and I hope St. Vincent puts out something new as well! -
The Prodigy is supposed to come out with something next year and they've gone on record saying that the new album is gonna be darker. Not sure what their definition of "darker" means but I'm kind of interested.
-
List of bad Kanye West albums:
fuck everyone, his new album will be great. -
Looking back on 2012, the only albums I was both extremely hyped for and subsequently loved were the Death Grips ones. Most of my favorite albums were ones from bands who had disappointed me previously (Field Music, of Montreal, Dan Deacon), new blood (Julia Holter, vaporwave, Laurel Halo, Kyary Pamyu Pamyu, Pepe Deluxé), or artists whom I didn't even know were releasing new albums until at most a week prior (Jens Lekman, Kendrick Lamar, Mariko Goto).
Am I post-buzz? Is it curable? -
(the answer is "yes" and the cure is Owen Pallett's In conflict.)
-
Lol you haven't heard cruel summer yet haven't you. That brings the possibility of his new album being great to, at most, 50%
-
The Prodigy, as in, Liam Howlett? Hrm.. I wanted to put "Fat of the Land" on my perfect record list but I know it's not perfect. But it might be the pinnacle for electronic-punk, for me anyhow. I'm not too sure what kind of sound he would adopt today to stand out though. Could be interesting.
-
That was @Kyle
-
I haven't even bothered with Cruel Summer being only interested in 3 of the tracks off My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy.. despite getting #1 nods for album of the year. Pssshhhh. It's like that sometime, so ridickilus. (spelling, intentional)
-
Cruel Summer isn't a Kanye West album.
Watch The Throne isn't a Kanye West album.
Kanye West albums are good. -
@WiredRacing Yes sir, I meant Mr. Howlett. Yeah I don't know what he can do now that would have the same impact - or something similar to "Fat of the Land". A "darker" Prodigy in 2013 sounds great in my head but I don't know if it's gonna be that at all. So much potential. I wonder if he's ever heard The Money Store.
-
The point is that that's the direction Kanye has been going, so it's perfectly logical to assume that will be the kind of album he'd release solo
-
YO @CLYDENUT I'M REALLY HAPPY FOR YOU AND I'MMMMMMMA LET YOU FINISH, BUT KANYE WEST IS THE BEST RAPPER OF ALL TIME
#2009 -
When does Owen Pallett's album come out, Steve?
Also, I like the new Yo La Tengo. Really good first album of 2013 for me. -
@Dallas I think the last estimate from the man himself was early 2013, but Heartland was originally supposed to come out in 2008, so we'll see.
-
(re: Kanye) I'm just saying I hope it's good but I won't be surprised if it isn't. It's just delusional to think that just because it's a Kanye album that will automatically make it good even considering the projects he's been putting out since his last album have been garbage.
-
Anticipated releases for next year (confirmed)
Earl Sweatshirt - Doris
Atoms For Peace - Amok
Local Natives - Hummingbird
Jamie Lidell - Jamie Lidell
Unknown Mortal Orchestra - II
Phoenix - TBA
Not confirmed:
King Krule, Beck, My Bloody Valentine, Daft Punk, The Avalanches, Wu Tang Clan, GZA - Liquid Swords II, Ty Segall's next project (He's been involved in 3 records this year, so I'm assuming he'll have something out next year), Boris, DOOM related project, Kanye West, Flaming Lips, machinedrum, Zomby, Deerhunter/Atlas Sound, Baths, Young Montana?, Vampire Weekend, MGMT, Danny Brown, Shabazz Palaces, James Blake, it's about time Cornelius released a new record, too.
too many to name, really.
Also kinda interested in the new A$AP Rocky, the new Wavves, and the new Cannibal Ox albums, but I have no real hope for any of them to really be any good.
oh and hopefully a prefuse 73 album that isn't shit. -
I plan on listening to A$AP Rocky so I can knowledgeably shit on it.
-
Since Deltron Event II didn't drop this fall, I'm assuming it might finally happen next year...
-
I don't think Kanye is immortal, but I'm with @Shoey that Cruel Summer wasn't a Kanye album, and even Watch the Throne wasn't entirely in his hands. I won't be too skeptical until he starts putting out mediocre material under his and only his name.
-
Yeah Yeah Yeahs!
-
Sure Sure Sures!
-
2013 guys. New albums. New EPs. New mixtapes. New songs. New vidyas. New life. New world.
I wish that the music world would collectively agree to take a break at the end of each year for a couple months so we can catch up on shit. Maybe even officially extend every year by like 3 months or something.
Shit is getting way too hard and it pisses me off that there are probably a shitload of albums that I would fucking drool over released last year that I dont even know existed/havent listened to.
-
^ this.
-
agreed
-
I concur.
-
Fuck that.
-
Fuck you.
-
fuck everybody.
amen. -
Please fuck me.
-
In my head I'm saying that in your voice, it's kinda creepy
-
Would you fuck me?
I'd fuck me
*tucks -
I am sitting alone in a Starbucks openly laughing at Steve's latest comment.
-
I tried hanging out at a Starbucks. With metal music blaring. I don't do so well with so much attention directed at me.
-
Lol I usually don't hang out at Starbucks but I'm trying to get some alone time before tonight's "new years activities."
-
you masturbate in public?
-
>:)
(but really no) -
My new year's activites include beer, videeO games, some weed (I know), some cigs, vodka and my music. Party animal over here.
-
I'm pretty bummed that I have to work early, I can't do anything fun tonight.
-
I watched Let the Right One In, the Millennium ep of Seinfeld, and fireworks on TV with a friend.
-
Let the Right One In is amazing.
I've never actually had a legitimately cool NYE experience so I'm hoping tonight will be fun. -
I'm super sick so I'm just planning on drinking myself into a coma while catching up on movies.
-
The fam. is watching FULL METAL JACKET and SLEEPWALK WITH ME for the weirdest double feature ever. Also crab legs, shrimp, beer, whiskey-and-cokes, and of course champagne at midnight.
-
i got the book version of sleepwalk with me for christmas
-
I think some of the problems with TDKR could be summed up to studio interference, but there was some undeniably sloppy writing otherwise. I don't think anything "happened" to Nolan though, Inception and The Dark Knight were still great, and now that he's out of the studio confines of doing a Batman series I have no doubt he'll bounce back with something more challenging again.
-
why would there be studio interference Robby?
With Nolan at the helms of both The Dark Knight and what could only be called his "vanity project", Inception, and both bringing buttloads of money and critical acclaim, he'd be at a rare stature where the studio would just give Nolan the bags of money and say "do what you do best" -
But after The Dark Knight being a Nolan ran thing, and that bringing in over a billion dollars, it'd stand to reason that they wouldn't have that much input. And what was Batman before Nolan had come along? It was George Clooney, Arnie with corny puns and Jim Carrey as the Riddler.
It wasn't a huge name UNTIL the Dark Knight.
If anyone had predicted the success of The Dark Knight, I'd like to see it. -
Studios are looking at remaking films, not looking at how films did back then.
There's a reason we're not getting stuff the same quality of Casablanca or Citizen Kane released through out the year.
If I was a studio exec circa 2003, I'd be thinking "Well super heroes are kinda lame now, people want comedies because we're still living in the wake of 9/11. Oh what's that? Christopher Nolan wants to do Batman? Isn't that the guy that done a few arty movies a while back? Eh, we'll give him a bit of money but it better be good, we'll just look over your shoulder and make sure"
Come 2006; "Hey, that was pretty good, that drew in a bit of money and some critical praise, and you want to do a sequel? Alright, here's a bit more money, but we'll just kinda check in every now and again to see how it's going"
Come 2010; "You want to do a third? HERE'S ALL MY MONEY" -
TDKR really isn't that bad.
-
To be fair I'm mostly basing this on that Inception seemed like a vanity project.
I mean really, it's almost as if the studio allowed him to make it as a thank you for the Dark Knight.
How many major film studios would let a director do such a huge expansive both visually and thematically complex film? -
Inception still paid off. Made a ton of money.
-
I don't mind your opinions. I just thought someone should put a contrary opinion into this TDKR hate fest.
-
It's probably at least worth mentioning that The Dark Knight made $600m more than any other Batman film released prior. To think a studio would interfere at that point makes a lot of sense to me, there's some very bloated personalities in Hollywood who think "I know how this can make even more money".
example 1: the title. The Dark Knight became a name more instantly marketable than Batman almost immediately. The studio undoubtedly asked Nolan that the title include that phrasing.
