I'm amazed that I had to look up Echoes. The band name and album cover just weren't coming to me, I recognised it as something that was very important at the time. No idea what A Seat at the Table is so I'm going to ignorantly assume that it wouldn't be my thing.

The Glow Pt. 2 is my favorite from that list probably. I think I'm going to listen to that album for the first time in several years. Thanks, shirts optional.

Man, the Echoes review is something:

Change has been boiling under ever since the decade clicked to double zeros. We've wanted more of something, and slowly we've realized what. What you're increasingly witnessing at every club, at every show, with every passing night, is the death of the horrible, awkward, uncomfortable tension of devoted music fans pretending not to enjoy music they have paid to see. Finally, we are shaking off the coma of the stillborn slacker 90s and now there is movement. Arms uncross, faces snap to attention, and clarity hits like religion. We have buried irony and pissed on its grave and for the first time we are realizing what rock music, rock shows are all about.

Fuck, was that a dream? Pavement playing the Showbox in Seattle to throngs of unwashed hippie revivalists acting as if they'd been imprisoned there by a cruel master of ceremonies, their peer and equal Stephen Malkmus? Eddie Vedder iconically scrawling PRO-CHOICE up his left arm like he bore the weight of the entire fucking world and was the only living person with this Great Important Answer to all the world's problems? That the Dismemberment Plan-- among the first to envision this future at which we've now arrived-- called us out to our faces with "Doing the Standing Still" and we actually still just stood there? It's almost impossible to believe in light of music like this, music that finally places as much emphasis on real, true, palpable fun as it does on art.

As brilliant as this music sounds on paper and CD, nothing compares to experiencing it live. I saw it taking shape ("but I was there!") at the beginning of this summer in Chicago: The Rapture unleashing their primal digifunk on Chicago's stuffy Metro. As the band took the stage, two kids behind me absolutely lost their shit...

"hope there's someone" is a p. bad choice

"seasons (waiting on you)" is some indie death rattle shit

honestly think a seat at the table is worse choice than echos and bon iver, but not a worse album
