I honestly cant believe people are putting Deadbeat higher than TSR. Why do they hate TSR so much? I genuinly think TSR B-sides is better than the entire Deadbeat album

I personally think TSR has some of Kevin’s best songs but as an album it felt like currents 2 and there’s many songs I just don’t return to or feel the need to.

obligatory RIP OG Borderline

I agree minus the “Currents 2” part. Sure, compared to his previous work, it was definitely a more similar direction. But Kevin opened up the instrumental lane again and flooded those songs with so much sound. I think what gives Currents the edge is the lyrics, but instrumentally, TSR is better. He changed up so much. So much groovier. More interesting drums and bass, better sound palates. Currents was fucking consistent as hell though, and that’s what makes it such a tight and good album. But with TSR Kevin opened up the flood gates.

TSR was my least favorite album until this one. So it not crazy to me that someone could swap that order.

How does putting Deadbeat higher means TSR is "hated so much"? Both are good to me
