how can an album have mostly filler and still be a 9
Which one is better?
Joshua Davis
Owen Reyes
TMS
It’s not filler because you don’t like it. The only song on the TMS that I think is somewhat forgettable is Fuck That, and it still its character is distinct. I mean even
thinks Fuck That is a great track. I think I first listened there were a few songs that were skippable but having returned to it again recently I just hadn’t got them.
Exmilitary is great. Its feeling and sound is raw and immediate, and there is a certain marshal character to its production. TMS trades that marshal sound for denser and more dynamic production, and is also catchier for this reason. IMO its cover is the perfect representation for the sound they were going for, a union of the raw and passionate with the synthetic and digital. If Exmilitary is sadism, TMS is sadomasochism. This sadomasochistic element is what defines all of their later output.

Lincoln Ward
what's wrong with fuck that? personally love the tribal beat, it went well with ride's syncopated chant-y delivery on that track. sounded very voodoo
Jeremiah Thomas
Jenny death of course
William Reed
Fuck That is great, the beat is so minimal yet so raw at the same time, and then there's that verse at 1:00 which is pure bliss.

Some tracks from TMS got shuffled into a playlist I was listening to yesterday and I realized that the album came out like 8 years ago, before I even graduated HS. And then I remembered watching fantano's X review when it initially came out. Times passes, shit's crazy, who would've thought.

It's good, it's just the one that were I to list tracks off the top of my head I would be most likely to forget

The Money Store is a much stronger and more coherent musical statement. Ex-Military is all over the place, both aesthetically and with regards to quality.
