lmao
/mu/ seems to love this album, but I couldn't really get into it.
It almost perfectly emulates what being in an odd dream feels like. Also it sounds like no hip hop album before or since.
>>74017270
Yeah me either. It's really hyped up.
The beats are BoC-ish and the lyrical and vocal delivery are unique for hip-hop, to say the least.
Post your favorite Power Pop albums and tracks!
Also, I have an idea. The Poptopia compilations for the 70s, 80s, and 90s are all pretty great and a good way to get into Power Pop. Why don't we make a fan made one for the 00s? We'll consider 2000-2009 as the 00s. We can all post our favorite tracks from the decade then vote. So 18 tracks total all from separate artists. I'd be willing to put it together if someone could make artwork in the style of the official Poptopia compilations.
This general usually doesn't attract a whole lot of people, so hopefully this will get some interest. Anyone up for this?
not a big fan of power pop, but i like electric version

The Hives were neat.
What does /mu/ think about emo?
why do you care about what underage and immature people think?
good emo is good, bad emo is bad.
bad emo might seem good, but it's bad.
>>74017173
Because the entire world is underage and immature so I want to judge whether certain music is seen as acceptable to discuss or if I should just say "haha yeah Jost Beaboo is pretty cool" and listen to other music in private
ITT: it's /mu/ in 2011
odd future sure are the next wu-tang huh
I miss what we used to be :(

this wouldn't be bad, but that fucking nin logo.
The word "hype" wasn't enough to describe the media assault on the sprawling 80-minute To Pimp a Butterfly (2015), another meticulously crafted album that employed legions of writers, producers and musicians (including jazz pianist Robert Glasper and jazz saxophonist Kamasi Washington). Six people wrote Wesley's Theory, including George Clinton, and four produced it, including Flying Lotus. Nine people are credited as writers for the funk-fest King Kunta, making it de facto a collage. The producers threw in more live instruments, resulting in a sound that is more revivalist than innovative, but also a sound that helps the general theatrical atmosphere. For better and for worse, The Blacker the Berry is the epitome of this emphatically pointless but fashionable avant-jazz-rap music. I begins as an olf-fashioned synth-pop hit of the 1980s before it begins to sound like a James Brown parody (with the lyrics "the number one rapper in the world" and "i love myself") accented by a jovial piano figure. The best psychodrama is possibly one of the simplest songs, the melodic funk-soul These Walls, and the best political sermon the equally straightforward funk ditty Hood Politics. But the music is secondary to the histrionics and it doesn't matter that the catchy and danceable Alright stands in opposition of the industrial beat that derails Momma, a fact that could account for at least eclecticism. This is a superficial and, ultimately, middle-of-the-road album from an artist who lacks the visceral energy of Public Enemy and Tackhead while also lacking the poetic depth of Kanye West and the musical genius of El-P. He tries to be all of them at once, but maybe he would be most credible if he were just himself: a brilliant script-writer of fictionalized real-life stories: the Christian parable How Much a Dollar Cost presents God disguised as a homeless man, and Mortal Man interviews the ghost of dead rapper 2Pac.
memes aside this man's ability to be objective and cut through all the bullshit is outstanding
especially when music is so fucking littered with hype trains
>>74016566
why bother pointing it out though
everyone knows, the fans don't care and everyone else ignores it completely
The genre-hopping Lemonade (Parkwood Entertainment, 2016) was another attempt to promote her to auteur. An industry artifact with no personality, Beyonce swings between the playful reggae of Hold Up and the gospel hymn Freedom via the piano elegy Sandcastles. Best is probably Don't Hurt Yourself, which is quintessential Aretha Franklin. The collaboration with James Blake yields two of the most boring ballads of his career. All the media hype does little to make this album more than a marketing project. In fact, it's even less musical than Beyonce. She's a mediocre singer and an awful songwriter, and no amount of production work can fully hide that. The accompanying video includes spoken-word interludes of poetry by Somali-British poet Warsan Shire.
>OK, let me get this straight, Anon
>So you listen to music in FLAC because it sounds better?
>I can't tell the difference LOL
>Why don't you just use iTunes?
>Oh, you're fixing your music tags tonight? I'll see if Chad's busy...
>>74016500
>>Oh, you're fixing your music tags tonight?
No, I got them from a private tracker so I know the tags are correct
>>74016521
>Wait, you won't use iTunes to buy music, but you'll pay to get in a secret free downloading club?
>Don't you pay $15 a month for a piratebox so you upload enough?
>Why don't you just get Spotify for $10 a month? Actually, if you're interested, we can get on the family plan with Chad and Stacey! C'mon, it'll be fun!
>>74016551
thank god I'm not autistic enough to compulsively download gigantic files that I can't even hear the sound difference in
best way to learn music theory? do i even need it/is it worth it?
>>74016430
> do i even need it/is it worth it?
Yep **flies away**
Music theory is for nerds
>>74016430
best way is to go to university.
or look at the /mu/ sticky. There is a good site there - music theory for musicians and normal people tobyrush.com or something.
>do i even need it/is it worth it?
only if you want to understand music. Its mostly useful if you want to be a composer or a high-tier songwriter.
does /mu/ likes vocal jazz?
this is one of my favorite albums
I don't think you can call this vocal-jazz, it got a lot of layers, some random effects, some synths...
Yes but that isn't vocal jazz.
I wish there was more post-rock in the vein of Talk Talk, Bark Psychosis and Tortiose. Aside from the focus on texture, it has next to nothing in common with Sigur Ros or GYBE.
>>74016524
try can - future days
Why the FUCK do secret tracks exist?
>Oh wow, look at me, I'm a musician, and I think this would make a cool track, but I don't actually want to make a whole new track.
>I know what I'll do! I'll find a song in the middle of the fucking album, stick 10 minutes of silence on the end, then play part of my cool secret track!
Wow, really FUCKING cool bro, could you have at least put that shit on its own track at the end of the album so I wouldn't have to go in audacity and fix your shitty fucking album myself? I hate this shit on streaming sites in particular where I can't even do that.
>BAN THIS
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lacuna_(music)
thread irrelevant
why do you have to 'fix' it? why not just accept that theres ten minutes of silence in the piece?
why do you not respect the artist's wishes, anon?
>>74016341
>Examples are in the final track
GOOD no problem
>Or 2 minutes or longer
NOT good
>>74016367
The artistic vision doesn't really mean shit when I'm on a subway. That really cool and sick 10 minutes of fucking nothing isn't white space in a song, it's hearing the stupid bullshit on the subway instead of some MUSIC.
Plus, come on, 10 minutes of silence isn't artistic vision, it's autistic vision.
>Teeheehee this track is gonna be so sekrit, anyone listening is just gonna press skip except 4 the real treasure hunters!!!!!!! rawr XD
