Hissing Fauna is one of the best quirkpop albums ever made imo but I fully understand why it wouldn't appeal to someone.
it's always weird being reminded that those hilarious viper album covers actually have music behind em lmao

I'm not really a fan of any of those, so no triggering here

>>61554941
I'm not familiar with any of the albums you've rated so I don't see what is so "triggering" about it

For me, The Serpent Power was pretty much what you'd expect but the last track is worth a listen

Clube da Esquina surprised me as I find a lot of Brazilian "classics" to be overrated, but this one actually hit my fancy, I think just due to the variety

Fanfare for the Warriors was good but not even near the best Art Ensemble works

Alastair Galbraith is severely underrated

Add N to (X) is just a straight up classic, no idea why I thought I was going to hate that album, maybe because I find most 90's electronic music to be overindulgent

Correcting your curve, huh?
And yeah, I don't like Grouper that much either

>>61555014
Agree with the ones that I've heard

I like that Antena record, but that's probably my least favorite OPN album

>>61554971
Jacco Gardner and Kreng are both nice. I haven't heard of Weird Owl, they sound interesting

>>61554985
Cartola was decent, Charlie Parker and Wayne Shorter are good. Not a fan of Dexter Gordon or Hank Mobley though

>>61554997
Deftones are overrated and not that good at all

>>61555014
Art Ensemble of Chicago is overrated on RYM, good job with the appropriate rating imo

>>61555025
huehue

>>61555025
At least you're stepping out of your comfort zone, I suppose

>>61554997
I was waiting for someone to catch on

I mean in all honesty, the lyrics and production are godawful but something about viper's voice is 'interesting' and there are admittedly some entertaining hooks on it. I wouldn't bother listening to anything else by him, that being said.

>>61555025
curve maintaining detected ;^)

>>61555039
What do you not like about Gordon and Mobley?

>>61555063
>Gordon
I don't think he's that good of a sax player and I don't like when he tries to do cool jazz

>Mobley
I think he's overrated as hell, and not THAT innovative

I agree with all of those.

been handing out a lot of 3 star (contains good stuff/sporadic listens) ratings lately

>>61555039
too patrish for me. been meaning to listen to In C for a long time, what's it like?
>>61555025
Octavarium is at least 3/10 and I actually like that Grouper album tbqh
>>61554997
decent i guess

>>61555025

3.5 is a very good rating for me

>>61555157
Holy autism

>>61555118
I can see that, but I think Gordon's skill lies more in his bandleading than his actual playing, and while I don't think his style works every time, Go! is a good example of his work
Also, I have a nostalgic attachment to the album, so perhaps I'm just biased

I may lower my Mobley rating because I honestly wasn't paying much attention at the time

>>61555125
Cendre is pretty decent

>>61555039
pretty good ratings though I would switch the ratings of those morton feldman renditions
>>61555025
listen to Solution 45 if you want more 0.5s
>>61555125
appropriate HTTT rating
>>61555127
alright ratings, I gotta give You'll Never Get to Heaven a listen soon
>>61555166
that's a great curve though

>>61555125
That Fennesz/Sakamoto album was good, but not as good as his collaborations with Alvo Noto in my opinion. You gave pretty appropriate ratings to Hail to the Thief and Fast Asleep

>>61555127
>what's it like?
It's probably my favorite meme minimalism. You can draw similarities between other pieces from different composers, but I just enjoy the textures on In C and Terry Riley's work more than anything else.

>>61555169
>Gordon's skill lies more in his bandleading
True, he is certainly a better writer than Hank Mobley

>>61555166
do you know what autism is cuz I don't think you do

>>61555171
Very pleb stuff that had a huge impact on me in my youth and I listened to literally over a hundred times, some Tom Waits, Bob Dylan, The Cure, The Sisters of Mercy, that sort of thing, 4's are my favorite albums that I haven't heard hundreds of times

>>61555125
Sakamoto's collabs with electronic musicians are usually pretty rewarding yeah, haven't heard that one but the ones with Alva Noto are ace

>>61555144
why'd you keep listening to the black keys after that first 0.5. Usually if I bump into an album worthy of that rating I never come back to the band again.

>>61555166
nothing particularly appalling about his curve tho senpai

>>61555192
my dad plays them in the car all the time

>>61555183
Gordon is kind of like Davis in that he's not a virtuoso but he has a personality and a good sense of working within an ensemble

>>61555176
Why did you rate Booty
Also, Chill Out and Fingerprince are :okhand:

>>61555183
>You can draw similarities between other pieces from different composers
is it minimalist piano type stuff or more in the vein of Music for 18 Musicians? (i hardly have any experience with minimalism)
>>61555176
if you wanna listen to You'll Never Get to Heaven go for their Adorn EP first; the s/t is an obvious step down in terms of songwriting

>>61555222
>is it minimalist piano type stuff or more in the vein of Music for 18 Musicians?
The latter, I guess. The piece is for any amount of musicians and it sounds fairly different depending on the recording you hear

>>61555207
Good ratings for Brand New and The Gerogerigegege

>>61555225
Anna von Hausswolff is overrated and Daughter is pretty bad

>>61555157

same for me, but that album is almost perfect imo senpai

>>61555169

I dig it, it's comfy.

>>61555176

>Darude - Sandstorm

lmao

>>61555183
>>61555192

Alvo Noto is god

>>61555304
Alva Noto is pretty fantastic
I need to hear more work from EAI artists in general, especially Parker and Noto

>>61555304
Well, I never go handing out a 5 on a first listen, I haven't rated anything above a 4 in years, usually the only way things get rated that highly is because I realize the album has really grown on me and become one of my all-time favorites, I'm sure the rating on it will go up eventually

>>61555144
why do trannies like sleater kinney so much

>Ferment below Vega Intl. Night School
:/

I'm kidding but I do like Ferment a lot

>>61555396
Arcturian was pretty bad imo. Sometimes I think that Arcturus stuck with sound somewhere in their first album

>>61555442
It was pretty nice album, although I miss Garm and those electronic elements sounded silly

>>61555410
Actually, Ferment sounds like it could be a grower. Will relisten sometime soon

>>61555357
>babby's first experimental bowie album

>>61555475
TEXTUUUREEEEESSSSSS

It's probably my favorite shoegaze album so I hope you enjoy it more in the future
It's a comfy album

>>61555398
one is a a truely unique challenging listen. that simultaneously parodies, celebrates, and comments on music culture the other is bland indie pop i hear in every urban outfitters store across the country and other over the counter counterculture shops.

Is it ok that I rated over 30 albums from this year with over 4/5?
From around 200

>>61555855
yes, don't feel guilty for liking music

>>61555833
felt the same way about chinese nu yr. pretty good production but it wasn't as special as many made it out to be imo

>>61555855
no

you're wrong about probably 28 of those albums

>>61555367
I'm a tranny and I've never even heard them, are you saying I should check them out

>>61556551
yes they are
