Since I Left YouThe Avalanches

10/10

I initially stumbled across this album when a video about the samples popped up on my YouTube feed. Absolutely fell in love with this.

This is one of those albums that you truly have to listen to before you die. An absolute masterpiece, particularly the beginning section. The back half is a bit hit or miss for me personally, but it never lessens my enjoyment of the album

Humpty Dance carries. Production is actually decent throughout. Rhyme schemes are a bit simple by today’s standards, but there’s fun to be had with this. Last few songs drag tho

The best R&B album of the 2010s, next to Blonde

Only knew Bittersweet Symphony before giving this a listen. Rest of the album is really good, might be a new favorite for me

Does every damn song really need an intro explanation. “This is a song about when you need to go to work but would rather stay in bed… Ohhhh I need to get to work, but I’d rather stay in bed” ass music

Often considered their magnum opus, and I can see why now that I've finally listened to it. Love how many samples they used, loved the energy they bring to every record. I think I'd put Ill Communication a hair above this, but I can't argue with anybody saying that this is their best.
