How come heavy music slowed down so much in the 90s?
Think about it: lots of thrash bands slowed down and started focusing on syncopation, creating groove metal. Lots of death metal bands slowed down and became death/doom or death 'n roll. Hardcore bands became more focused on breakdowns than thrashing. Stoner and sludge metal started dominating the metal underground at this time too. What gives?

hegelian dialectics applied to music
every thesis will have an antithesis
metal had been a challenge to go as fast as possible for about two decades, resulting in power, neoclassical, and thrash. suddenly, that was just flooded. naturally, innovators went the opposite direction and created doom metal. soon, a million doom subgenres were spawned, groove was spawned, and death metal moved into a mid tempo range when it wasn't death doom generally.
now that both sides are flooded, stuff like djent has surged just trying to go as fast as possible.

Have you ever read any Hegel that isn't the preface to phenomenology of the spirit? Second sources don't count friendo
>>74580717
Anon isn't wrong.
Try being in a band that just spent an entire decade trying to be the fastest and most technically insane band in the world. Try being in a scene where everyone has that mentality.
Suddenly you fold and say, "alright, I'm bored with this. Let's make something else."
Weezer isn't pun-

ITT: Post the album that you heard that made you take /mu/ seriously
>>74580211
Lol this is Scruffy-core, RYM-core, and Pitchfork-core. /mu/ literally picked MBDTF as best album ever in a bracket earlier this year so you can calm down about the "seriousness" of /mu/
idk but i ain't even mad. i'm admittedly not familiar with a ton of madonna's work but like a prayer is a legitimately great album
>>74580167
I suppose you'd have to be a part of the early 80s pop dance explosion in New York City to really be aware of what the writer meant when she went into the details of the first album.
Or you can just nod your head and agree with it.
wait a minute, they let owen palett do a review? isn't he still somewhat regularly releasing music that they review? isn't that a pretty serious conflict of interest?
haha it's clever
they're having fun which is more than i can say for any other music "critique" sites
would you rather read a generic poptimist website that gives the same top 40 albums the same safe scores?
reminds me of 2006-era pitchfork, pull the stick out of your ass, friend
Why can't artists think of any of their own shit these days?
internet makes it a trivial matter to prove the influence of anything
it's only the lingering lionizations grandfathering the dadrockers through this stage
the reality is that they were all regurgitating their own bullshit experiences
>>74579948
If anything it makes it easier are you actually fucking braindead
>>74579886
why do you assume all artists do so, this type of thinking is lewronggeneration tier
Jesus Christ, this might just be the greatest film score of all time.
ha ha really nailed that joke anon
>>74579723
Great album
>>74579723
>reads Scaruffi once
But it's p good though.
This album will stand the test of time. It was the beginning but surely not the end. Of a music revival. A revival of emotion and feeling and an escape from all commercial and produced bullshit that has been pumped into peoples heads. This music will stir your soul. I don't care who you are. The beatles were good but they don't make me feel as much as Tame Impala does.
I listened to that album and it was meh to me and forgot about them
then i lsitened to lonerism a few years later and liked it

Tame Impala is hands down the best band in the world right now. They are not pretty good, they are pretty incredible. But more than just how good they are, They represent the first ripple in a massive change that we are about to go through musically as well as culturally. I think that over the course of the next 10 years we are going to see a sort of mini-renaissance similar to what we saw in the late 50s-60s post war. With pot and gay marriage soon to be legal federally its gonna be a whole new world. 2012 end of the world isn't the end of human life, its the end of one way of thinking and the start of another. Pot...cash...crop...money! As someone already said here on Reddit, The united states will be the only country in the world were pot is legal federally. We are gonna have jobs again, and money to burn. Money to spend on art and music. In a sense, a need will be created for GOOD art and music. Not something that is coldy manufactured by hitmakers. Tame Impala is leading the charge! They are proving that people CAN tell the difference between real and manufactured music! Im not saying Tame Impala are the next Beatles but they are making enough waves to make change. Moral of story, Tame Impala Rocks!!!! They (kevin park) are making real beautiful music that only happens when a talented person commits a lot of time to something that they are passonate about. Tame Impala is a real life "bedroom" band, they way it is meant to be.
Uploaded my first song to youtube

>>74579681

Post your lists for this year so far
this is all i listened
>>74579478
A lot of these are singles.
I'm surprised at how much crack up underwhelmed me, since helplessness blues is one of my favorite of all time.
I'm also surprised at how good the tyler album was, considering I haven't cared for his past efforts.
Disgusting mobile poster coming through, give me some recs amigos
Is there musique concrete that is also dance music? Like dance music made with non instruments.
>>74579422
define dance music
>>74579486
I'm not trying to be combative here, so apologies if my definition is poor, but I guess i'd describe it as: music created with the intention of being well received by many, and also intending for said listeners to dance to said music while listening, typically in 4/4
I mean modern dance music (Let's say from Disco onward) rather than a ballroom gala or anything like that.

Feel free to share: pop-punk, easycore, metalcore, djent,etc.
Recently, discovered State of Millenia. I enjoyed their first single. It could use heavier guitars but overall an energetic tune.

I really dig those beats, brosama.
Holy shit
Yeah,I know, right?
Worth it for Girl's School alone.
I always thought Paul's only good albums were McCartney, Ram, and Band on the Run. But then I went through the rest of his discography and found that most if not all of it is good to great. Venus and Mars, London Town, McCartney II are just as good as the first 3.
>>74579107
London Town, Back To The Egg, and McCartney II are McCartney's equivalent to Bowie's Berlin Trilogy.
