    Add onto that, that the guy is classy and a style innovator as well. He's a suave guy

    This is a PJ message board. And the variety of music discussed on this board is extremely limited compared to say Radioheads message board. Most people on this board dislike mainstream music. Pop music is pretty much ignored.

    On the flip side, I love the album and JT is amazing. 20/20 is the best album of the year. Its scope and vision is unrivaled. There isnt anyone in pop music let alone any genre doing this. This is capital A art. Its an artist at the peak of their powers, challenging the art form, genre boundaries, and most importantly himself. All 3 albums sound completely different.

    This isnt mailed in pop music. This isnt music made to make JT more wealthy. Its 10 songs, 8 of which are 6 to 8 minutes each, spanning multiple genres and wildly experimental for someone who is undoubtedly one of the biggest superstars in the world. He could have phoned it in, made simple pop songs, and he'd have made bank. Instead he took risks.

    Even his music videos are artsy-you seen the last 3 minutes of the mirrors video?

    Plus we've still got another 10 songs to go. He has yet another album to be released in the fall,

    JT's an innovator. Stunning album. Only Kanye's new one will rival this one in terms of scope, vision and grandness of scale.

    Exactly. The entire album is just so well produced. I can't wait for the other half of this come this fall.

    Joseph Arthur's "The Ballad Of Boogie Christ" has just jumped right to the top of my list! Such a good album, this stream has been playing constantly today http://t.co/OOvXxp0yRK Can't wait to get hold of the vinyl!

    The Lanegan & Garwood record also doesn't disappoint. Really, really good album.

    Now that I've given it a couple of listens since it started streaming yesterday, Joseph Arthur's The Ballad of Boogie Christ is absolutely on my list. My megafandom continues. :thumbup:

    I think it could be one of my favourite Lanegan albums along with Blues Funeral. His output just gets better and better.

    I had never heard The Drones before, but I'm listening to I See Seaweed right now because of your post, and I like it, so thanks! :)

    Good call on The Drones. I didn't realize they released a new one. I really enjoyed their last two and Gareth Liddiard's solo record.

    JT's an innovator. Stunning album. Only Kanye's new one will rival this one in terms of scope, vision and grandness of scale.
    :lol::lol::lol::lol: Your posts get funnier and funnier. Daft Punk's RAM has more scope and vision than JT and Kanye's entire discography. If music is really your life, you should recognize this. Giorgio By Moroder is better than 20/20 by itself.

    Really liking Pet Shop Boys - Electric right now. I don't own any of their previous albums, just a greatest hits, and have really only been a fan of their singles, but this album grabbed me.
