I returned to this album a few days ago and now I can’t stop listening to it. Still like my 3rd or 4th favorite album from him, but Survivor and Steps Beach might some of his best work.


Agreed

When it all comes down to it Atavista is his best work followed by Because The Internet but i could see Bando Stone being above Awaken My Love

As far as best album goes, I can’t be mad at any of these picks. Bino be changing it up with every drop, yet I’ve always managed to find myself jamming to the output.

Bando’s still my favorite. Nowhere close to as cohesive as the other albums, but I like it as a celebration of everything they’ve (to include Ludwig) have worked on leading up to this point. Donald said it’s a project for the fans and it definitely felt like it.

Anybody going to the tour though? I’ll be at DC’s on the 29th. Last night kicked things off and I heard the setlist was insanely stacked, with some throwbacks sprinkled in.

@Ziggiy I’m on the opposite end of the spectrum. Awaken my love will always be my favorite, then 3.15.20/Atavista, Kauai, Bando Stone…. Then everything else lol.


The strong songs on Awaken My Love are REALLY strong but Atavista has no skippables whereas I have no idea what the F U C K he was thinking by allowing California to ever see the light of day.

I don’t understand the “not cohesive” complaints. His more recent albums have all been a compilation of influence. I guess they wanted one genre, stylistically. “Bando…” really reminded me of Janelle Monae’s “Arch Android” and “Electric Lady” albums, just really theatric and grand, and pulling from different era’s of great music to shape a performance. Just like those Janelle albums, it’s been really hard to put it down and listen to other stuff.
