Did you know that there's a tunnel under Ocean Blvd - Post-Release Discussion Thread + Poll

Please, I'm not sure, and if it's not intentional, I really don't want to ruin others' listening experiences, but at the very beginning of Peppers, there's a sound that sounds like a fart into a toilet and a quick laugh. 

Please tell me what it really is so I can rewire my 5 year old brain.

[LetTheLightln 1,486]

I think it's a beautiful decision to bleep it out, but a mark of a genius to bleep it barely. 

 

Also, any other noticeable differences between the physical and digital versions of the album?

What part of the song? I haven’t heard anything from COCC in that song yet and am so curious 

0:46

 

"Carribean blue in sweather weather..." sounds like "I'm on the run with you my sweet love..."

[palemoonbaby 14,997]

A&W's first part sounds like a combination of late 90s vampire/ grunge witch, the sound of falling and rolling underwater ocean waves and corset-string violins. and then we all know the outro was made on another planet. maybe like the deathstar nightclub or something 

[LetTheLightln 1,486]

i am so in love with let the light in. an instant classic 

[mrborntolose 9,943]

fingertips is such a frustrating listen. not a fan at alll. but the rest of the album minus the interludes is great. def need time with this album but shaping up to be up there with honeymoon

 

current faves are paris, texas grandfather taco truck (the singles) and peppers + fishtail and let the light in omg!!!

kintsugi is beautiful literally a career highlight i can’t believe there’s people who don’t like it. it’s melody is so delicate it’s almost reminiscent of vashti bunyan’s works 

[BluVelvUnderground 1,754]

Ranking this album is so damn tricky. It’s not a problem I’ve ever had doing with any of her past records.

 

I think it might be due to it’s eclectic soundscapes and the way so many tracks have language with others.

 

It’s such a conceptually full tracklist. It manages to not follow the ‘rules’ of progressive albums like Pink Floyd, but it gives the same impression that it’s actually not the mess many have even praised it for. I feel like everyone following in the Lizzy Grant days has figured this one out.

 

This is a bonafide masterpiece that’ll take a couple years for critics to catch up to realizing it’s just as important as NFR!

 

I think this album’s gonna show another transition in pop music that has always followed her lead.
