Oneohtrix Point Never - Age Of

"Since there will be NO pre-release album stream on this one, Amoeba San Francisco is THE place to hear it! In addition, you'll be able to purchase the album a day before it's officially available to the public. Plus, with the purchase of Age Of you'll get a character card, limited to 2,000 pieces worldwide, or a 12"x12" art print of the album cover. It's very suitable for framing and limited to 1,000 pieces worldwide."

pfff. I've already listened to it, like, 40 times. 

the latin freestyle secret track with lil uzi vert was unexpected and a highlight 

"Daniel Lopatin’s eighth album as Oneohtrix Point Never finds him splitting the difference between the synth-based abstraction of his previous albums and a more visceral, abrasive style. While neither of these are bad templates to work from per se, the result is an album that doesn’t know what it wants to be."

^I haven't heard this, but I bet that's pretty much what OPN was going for.

yea perhaps, is ok

I hope he delves into the more experimental side of his sound going forward

i just hope the album is filled with those detuned harpsichord and gusheng sounds like on the first track i heard, that is so fuckin trippy

also hope for travis scott yelling "yeah" and "straight up" on the entire album

It's not a bad album by any means,  I still enjoy it quite a bit and I think it will continue to grow on me. However, it has a slightly less cohesive feel and there are some weaker moments that in comparison make it seem like a weaker release in comprison to R+7 and GoD, which were both probably his best releases to date.

I havent heard the leak, but, since we have the set list for Myriad, what do people think about the track order... published version VS. Myriad chronological/era-based order? Is the flow better one way than the other?

Babylon and Warning are straight up unlistenable while Toys 2 and we'll take it are quite good. The rest is pretty forgettable, but I'm admittedly not a big fan. Just like to hear what he's up to. R + 7 is a great album front to back.

Somehow this just isn't 'weird' enough for me. I'm a little surprised by the auto tune. Maybe a move to be more accessible? Or maybe he just likes it. 

I was really hoping for intense moments, a la Mutant Standard. I'll give it a few more listens but overall I'm pretty underwhelmed.

"The whole thing is so beautiful and strange and off-kilter and absorbing — a lovely and insular personal pop album, warped beyond all recognition. In its combination of contentment and dread, it feels weirdly resonant in a late-capitalist America where we always feel like we can see societal collapse coming around the next bend in the road. It’s a poignant reminder that those lights in that beautiful Chicago skyline won’t be glittering forever."

Album of the week (stereogum)

Wonder if all these reviewers actually got advanced copies or are just listening to leaks out of the early release from Japan.
