Re: Meh, let's do it again, this time for a year
Day 220: The Tired Sounds of Stars of the Lid by Stars of the Lid (Album Choice: Spenner)
I actually forced myself to listen to this one twice, because the first time I listened to it I didn't pay enough attention. Shut the hell up.
I like this one ever so slightly more than And Their Refinement Of The Decline but I can't put my finger on why. Maybe the drones are prettier this time? Nonetheless, my criticism still stands, why two goddamn hours? This would easily be a solid 8 or low 9 if you cut the album down to 40-60 minutes. Look at artists like Tim Hecker where the album lasts less than an hour. Hell, look at Basinski where his albums are often only one or two songs but the total running time never reaches 80 minutes. Maybe it's a undiagnosed attention problem I have but I can't stay engaged in drones for 2 whole hours.
But yeah I guess a ton of these songs are great.
Best Track: Mullholland
Rating: 6.5/10
