Saying, “Mos Def, who is still insisting that we all call him Yasiin Bey now” does come off as belittling a serious life choice (be it religious or artistic or for any other reason).
But I think he was just being smug. Which is just as worthless.

Code cracked. You’re welcome.
This dude must really like Arcade Fire.
I always thought that this was so obvious. As At The Drive In, they were able to temper each other perfectly, but they were unchecked as Mars Volta and Sparta. It’s like super-group in reverse.
I was just thinking the same thing. How is that news not just as big?
No one is with you.
How in the world does this sound anything like Band Of Horses?…or sound like Mercer has been listening to them…
Sounds to me like he’s been listening to some David Bowie.
Really, though, I can’t imagine any connection to Band Of Horses…this one wasn’t even produced by Phil Ek.
I loved The Rip Tide, too. I was honestly pretty shocked about the album’s lukewarm reception. I think it’s his most focused record.
Totally agree. Section 80 should have gotten way more love this year. Don’t know why they lost their shit over A$AP Rocky and much much less with Kendrick Lamar.
I think it’s because he wrote and recorded a gigantic motherfucking fantastic album this year.
This list isn’t the top 50 collections of lyrics of the year. There’s more to consider. And anyway, I’d take Bon Iver’s beautiful sounding nonsense over silliness like Best Coast or whatever.
Are you suggesting that Stereogum and Pitchfork are not as “white,” and if so, I’d like to see your scale of website whiteness gradation.
That record is so good…top 10 material for me.
Jesus, man. You need to listen harder.
Give Thursday some time. Insanely underrated. It’s certainly not as immediate as House Of Balloons, sure. But it’s still a pretty fantastic album and it’s sort of unfair that people seem to have written it off so quickly. I get it that HOB came out of nowhere and The Weeknd can’t replicate that initial surprise, but that shouldn’t detract from some pretty great music.
Yeah, I was just going to use that song as an argument against everyone saying they’ve gone soft. “Initiation” is super catchy, great beat, and creepy as hell.
Yeah, what this guy said. Good job.
Honestly, this is a great album. I do think it’s too long…but some of the songs are so strong, I don’t mind. There’s a solid, reasonable-length album in there.
I wish he would do a full album with The Weeknd. Or with Jamie xx & Rihanna, for that matter.
I agree that he could have trimmed the second half a bit. I feel like the first 8 songs are great, then it gets more spotty. Still really like it, though.
Holy shit, are you really 12 years old?? What??
OH GOD PLEASE CUT THAT HAIR
That mentality is the antithesis of why someone would be on this site in the first place.

“Massive music machinery” is–in no way–the issue here.
You don’t see comment sections with the same reaction to him because his music is generally pretty enjoyable.
Don’t make this something it’s not.
Yo, are there really two z’s in that post??
This is like if Talking Heads did a James Bond theme.
