@avclub-d542a3419c3ad57206a96bcc86155ebc:disqus well I always thought seasons 6 and especially 7 get pretty wonky and off the rails, which is why season 8 was so refreshing because it felt like season 1 or 2 again.  On another note, I'll always hate Cabbage!

I didn't get him trying to be "hard" from Kaleidoscope Dream.  If anything he sounds more lyrically similar to Weeknd or Frank Ocean, meaning he's wants to get laid, which was the focus of a lot 90's R&B (though probably not as explicit).  He did change the arrangements on SNL so the was louder and more experimental…

I'm assuming you're trolling if you equate Chris Brown to rapping.  Actually that whole last paragraph, I'll just leave to trolling.

well some of the complaint are so ridiculous (too weird? really?) that I'm just dismissing them off hand.  I thought he was great and that he had one of the best R&B albums last year.

but i was just trying to holla at them

@avclub-011d0b4fe6835bb3d37ef4e0ea713de6:disqus , can't find the article, but there is some guy that made a "food replacement drink" (some white protein based thing) because making food was taking up too much time and was too much of a hassle.  So he "cut out the middle man" and created the drink.  He was obviously an…

really?

Maybe because it's been reviewed before? Though I was surprised to not see it as well.  Also, though everyone seems to hate it around here, why no Scrubs?

@avclub-30a49758f35829d153225ec1ec09f8ed:disqus yeah bad wording I guess.  I just haven't heard any hype about their new album from this site or any others recently, as opposed to the Vile album. Actually I had no idea they were coming out with an album this year until today.  Which is why I find it surprising.

SPIN is actually where I heard of Vile's new record coming out first in their spring preview (who also used the "most anticipated" language" in reference).  Pitchfork I'll visit every so often but I usually don't agree with what they like, such as the fawning review of Clinic's redo.  "Anticipation" for a record and a…

it was going strong for a while with Alternative Nation, Nashville or Bust, etc.  I like the We're No.1 and Single File features, but I wish there was more reviews or discussion of current musical trends that aren't top 40 acts.

that's what happened?!  What the hell AV Club? this year has been pretty bad on keeping up with new music, either delaying reviews (blue hawaii) or ignoring (Autre Ne Veut, Foxygen).  It seems like they are using Not Optional to catch up.  But bumping Vile, who had one of the most anticipated records of the year in my…

On another note though, I am surprised to not see Kurt Vile reviewed, or White Fence, or even Jake Bugg (who looks to be getting a big bump from all those basketball ads using "lightening bolt"). Also, did they not get an advance of the Tyler record? It's been out for a week.

yeah one of my friends then girlfriend (now his wife) loved them and played them incessantly.  Now I can't stand them.

Lifehouse started in 1996 with two neighborhood friends, but at that point it was called Blyss.  They changed the name to Lifehouse in 2000.  On their choosing the band name, frontman Jason Wade said, "It's about what we do as a band and for me personally. Most of this record is about my life and about life's…

Looks like A.V. Club blinked first.  That or they are prepping a 10 page in-depth review detailing how the entirety of human history led up to the new record.

i tried to tell the doctors I had cirrhosis, but I had a lisp.  Now I'm dead.

Drag me to hell was great, but I had to get a refund on my tickets the first time I saw it because the was a group of girls a few rows ahead of me that would not some screaming loud as shit at everything in the movie

what is he? Funny or something?

@avclub-0f29370d9da664c1e143182f37301063:disqus well that's better than being Shit Turd of King Island.  Even if it is in Alaska.
