>Kurt Cobain kills himself after Nirvana becomes too big for him to handle
>following Alice In Chains' rise to being one of the biggest rock bands on the planet, Layne Staley becomes a shut-in and spends 8 years isolated in his apartment, obliterating himself with drugs before finally dying
>Soundgarden break up at their creative and commercial peak; they eventually reunite and release a couple of lukewarm albums before Chris Cornell kills himself as well
>Pearl Jam freak out about being too popular and go on an autistic boycott against music videos and Ticketmaster, fucking up their career in the process
Why were grunge bands so shit at handling success?
>>74572996
because it's a head fuck.
Probably has more to do with the heroin than the fame.
>>74572996
>a bunch of socially stunted, emotionally damaged junkies from Seattle don't react very well to becoming the defining pop culture phenomenon of their time practically overnight
Who'd have thought?
These are the best albums of each year according to the by-year charts on RYM.
Thoughts on their album choices? What would you switch out and replace?
>>74572980
look at all those black people
I'd switch out everything except Ellington, Clifford Brown and Max Roach, My Favorite Things, Mingus, Station to Station and Turn On The Bright Lights
>>74573137
What would you replace the albums with?
What's /mu/'s opinion of New Order?
Pic related is my fave album of theirs
Technique

Why did you post a joy division album to start a new order thread?
THIS WHY EVENTS UNNERVE ME
>music was shallow to the point of evaporating and had no legs to stand on other than being stylized and different. Except saying that it was different doesn't do it justice because his "style" could only be described as random bullshit
>not that this is inherently bad, but he also did it without any kind of charm or sense of self-awareness. It's just tacky and annoying.
>everything he produced was incredibly half-baked, lazy and aimless. I don't think even he knows where half of his albums were going or why they existed. Most of his albums were moderately interesting for the first 2 songs and then immediately delved into aimless, tacky bullshit that just existed as filler and I can't describe because they were so shallow and uninteresting I immediately forgot about them
>lyrical content almost always entailed nothing and was just meant to sound cool, and on the off-chance that it did it may as well not have because it was just embarrassing. I don't know if he actually thought he was making some kind of statement with "Bobby Brown Goes Down", but if it's supposed to be satire he must have forgotten to put the punchline in
>the composition is often nothing short of terrible. It's disjointed, aimless, ugly and irritating to listen to. Uncle Meat consisted mostly of instrumentals and it sounds like it was made by a 5 year old
>released a staggering amount of material and managed to create virtually nothing of interest
>pseudo-intellectual child that repeatedly embarrassed himself on national telivision when asked to provide some kind of case for his music or commentary on the music industry
It's fedora-core. It's just as vapid and easy to digest as the most pleb pop music there is but it has a zany, pseudo-edgy stylization for no particular reason that makes the listener feel like they're cool and different.
Not that I expect any kind of rebuttal to this. His fans are idiots with a surface-level appreciation of music.
Good post.
Make more of them more often.
Yassss, stick it to those boring white men (fingernail emoji)
Have you heard that Kendrick is going to drop a fire verse on Rih Rih's new song? It's gon slayyyyy

> anyone who doesn't have the same taste as me must like (c)rap and speak like an idiot
Wow you really refuted the valid points that OP raised. I love Zappa now.
Why did Gucci Mane devote an entire chapter of his autobiography to 'Deterritorialization and Semiocapitalism'? I couldn't understand a lick of it.
>>74572740
Guwop is just another stealth contemporary radical economics proponent. But he doesn't think that you get a lot of traction changing institutions from the ground up by retreading tired old Marxist bullshit, so now it's about shining a light on concepts that can better "immanentize the eschaton."
It's not really about the ideas he's espousing, so much as WHY he's putting them forward.

I need some hippie music /mu/
And I don't mean post Rubber Soul Beatles.
I mean music made by brain-fried-by-lsd-haven't-bathed-in-weeks-living-in-a-commune hippies.

>>74572677
Ringo without the charm
*deletes FEAR. and DUCKWORTH.*
now the album is perfect
>deleting two of the best songs on the album
Yah, Element, Loyalty, Humble, Love and God are objectively the songs to be deleted
Fear is like the only good song on that album
Yah and Pride are the only songs I go back to
What other albums does /mu/ cream over as the GOAT despite listening to fuck all else in it's respective genre to compare it to?

They need a new singer.
hey /mu/, I'm tryna record a demo track with my drumset and one mic.
I know ideally you're supposed to use multiple mics for a single drumset, but let's say you're limited to one (a dynamic one). Where would you put it?
>>74572019
There's no ideal answer for this. You're not even supposed to use the same mics for different parts of the drum kit so using only one is even more limiting. Best option would be to use it as an overhead.
>>74572019

Generally, place it somewhere and see how it sounds. Move the mic around and see how the sound changes, and find what sounds best to you.
>>74572019
One dynamic mic on a kit will sound shit, best off recording several takes and move the mic to capture one drum or cymbal every take, then sync them up before mixing
