I’m a sucker for concept albums and the fact that this concept is going to span 4 albums through 7 “suites” is both nerdy as hell and incredibly awesome. It’s such a great fusion of styles, with the first portion feeling quite futuristic in its production and delivery, and the latter half feeling much more like the Motown tracks my parents would play when I was a kid… if they were recorded in the future. “It’s Code” gives me such a strong vibe of “Never Can Say Goodbye” that I was actually quite surprised to see they didn’t give Clifton Davis a writing credit. As good as the entire album is, the first 6 tracks are just something else. Features from Prince, Solange, Erykah Badu and Miguel.. And they all kill it. That transition from “Q.U.E.E.N.” to “Electric Lady” Unnnghhhh. This is where I would insert a gif of a dude’s O-face because that shit was sublime. The idea that she has another album just as good doesn’t even make sense to me right now. I haven’t even had a chance to follow along with the lyrics yet (the albums were too long today) but given how much care was taken in the creation of this album, I can’t imagine they’re any less impressive than the production. The fucking production. God damn. I don’t understand how these guys haven’t been asked to work with any other high-profile artists since this album was released.. Everything sound so crisp, it’s really, really... it's everything. I wish I had more time tonight, I’m nowhere near done gushing. But I need to rank this and get the hell to bed. *Final Rating: (4+5)/7* Rankings Janelle Monae - The Electric Lady SZA - Ctrl Gorillaz - Humanz Mitski - Puberty 2 Soen - Lykaia Vince Staples - Big Fish Theory The Dillinger Escape Plan - Option Paralysis Depeche Mode - Delta Machine The National - Sleep Well Beast Every Time I Die - Low Teens --- http://soundcloud.com/thundersheep/these-beautiful-nightmares <cite>thundersheep posted [p:886930886] in Recommend ...
