Thundercat ‎– Drunk

A funny story is I actually got this album by mistake!! My mam knows I like the Thundercats cartoon (remember that??) and she bought me this thinking it is the soundtrack. But it is not!! It is still quite good though. But be warned, this is NOT the soundtrack to the Thundercats!!!

The sound of my copy is amazing! And I love the packaging. It's definitely the most beautiful release is my collection.

I am sorry to see some comments about surface noise on this release. My copy is absolutely flawless all the way through, by far one of the best sounding in my collection. The red 10" records are fun on their own, but also come with their own sleeves AND INNER SLEEVES which are all designed in the classic weird Thundercat style. The small format also forces you to really engage with the listening experience which you 100% need to do to fully appreciate this album.

Drunk is so strange that it may be tough to approach for some, especially if you go into this with any sort of conservative jazz mindset. The music is unpretentious with light-hearted bouncy melodies, but if you listen closely you find yourself in a very personal world of Thundercat's anxiety, fear, and apprehension about life. You get carried through the album by his cynical yet optimistic and humorous take on the world, underscored by a huge bold underline of weird.

ONE CAVEAT, even if your records are perfect, the inside of the cover of the box itself is super rough cardboard. IT WILL SCRATCH THE FRONT OF YOUR FIRST SLEEVE VERY QUICKLY, like within a week. Put something in there as a buffer between the sleeves and inner cover. I used a folded up 12" outer sleeve until I figure out something more permanent.

I don’t listen to it as much as look at it..

What the hell is this all about? Talk about weird or what!

Bought this on listening to "A Fan's Mail( Tron Song Suite ll) and absolutely love it. Inventive,soulful,organic,musical beauty. Buy it.

This sounds amazing. I too have the issue with Kendrick's verse....but overall, this is a great sounding press. I was really dubious of red vinyl, but it really does sound great.
