This is my favorite album of all time, but /mu/ might actually hate it. I've only really met one anon on here that's liked it. It's got such great flow, and I feel like the tracks are very personal and strong.

It's pretty easy to reverse image search an album but I guess it's also a little autistic to assume everyone knows how to do that, so, sorry?

>>52046358
That album is OK at best. Their sound is boring, and all the songs sound the same. Nantes is cool I guess.

The Conet Project

For some reason, I really love to listen to idiosyncratic sounds, and 'numbers stations' are pretty much the most repetitive thing you can listen to while keeping it extremely interesting.

I love this record in a lo-fi kind of way. It's hard to describe why I love it.

i really can't even think of a substantial constructive criticism toward their music, they're so good in so many aspects. what do people say about them? im genuinely interested

>>52047223
I'm not sure if this is would be a guilty pleasure on /mu/, but this would definitely be mine. I guessed that /mu/ just tries to ignore ska as much as possible.

>>52047428
I've tried to put ska on discussion sometimes, but /mu/tants refuse to talk about it in a constructive way.

>>52047428
>>52047519
other than the people who just post >ska, it's pretty well-liked

>>52047652

To be honest, it actually was the album that I first listened to that really branched out from the usual stuff a semi-antisocial freshman in high school would listen to. My friend recommended it to me, and I loved Streetlight ever since. I didn't get super deep into ska, other than the big names, but it showed me a world of music that I never knew existed. From there, I've expanded much further, but this album will always be one of my favorites. I honestly think it's so well done and fairly innovative. Their live shows are incredible. I think they deserve more recognition on this board, and should not just be labeled as the usual ska that is immediately written off.

I'm never get to discuss this album with anyone because most people I know who are familiar with the band have only heard/prefer their newer, pop orientated albums, which kinda sucks. I'm not surprised that it isn't mentioned much given that the majority of the board is American and the album was UK/Japan only(?) but for what it is, it's a solid album.
