Why is this album considered such a masterpiece? Almost all of it is either generic 60's pop or Lou Reed autistically mumbling over incredibly simplistic and poorly played instrumentals. The only song that is even slightly good or interesting is Venus in Furs, and even that is almost ruined by Lou's terrible voice. I find it hard to believe that anyone other than pretentious nu-males enjoys this shit
>album has been critically praised and popularly acclaimed for decades upon decades
>nu males meme

There have been a million threads just like this one; go read up in the archive. Also, there is no shortage of critical evaluations, writings, etc on the album. Go crack open a book or something.

They're the U2 of indie rock.
The Suburbs was their The Joshua Tree
Reflektor their Achtung Baby
and this new record will be their Zooropa with it's apparently disco lead single and themes of technology and consumerism.

Why isnt this /mu/core
The guy who made it viraled it here hard when it came out so most people here hate it. Same thing as Car Seat Headrest.
>>73105465
Oh damn i didnt know that
>>73105465
This shit is so stupid. Why do faggots on here get so jealous that artists with material worth listening gain buzz by sharing their music online?
happy mothers day
i hope taemin is being a good best friend and consoling his bro right now
When's the next show?

pls drop a NICE comment :-)

Jesus christ why is this shit so loud. The bass drum is compressed to the point of distortion.
It's actually giving me a headache. Who the fuck mixed this?
>>73104758
I thought, nah, you must be exaggerating.
I made it 20 seconds in.
I need a coffee and a cigarette now to fuck this headache off.
isnt that one of the kids off of shameless?
>>73104912
the tune isn't even terrible, but the mix job is unlistenable
And this is coming from someone who tolerated the insane loudness and brickwall compression on Oasis' first two reocrds.
Is Mask Off a good song?
Did Kendrick do it any justice?
Kendricks verse is pretty good but kinda kills the vibe and theme of the song. Personally i like when remixes try to incorporate themselves into the original song more, so i wont be listening to the remix very much
7/10 song, kendrick doesn't really add anything imo
>>73104738
it's a meh song
Any good story album recommendations?

Operation Mindcrime
hey gaytarists of /mu/ what do you think of the fender american professional series? (it's replacing the fender american standard series?)
>>73104569
American standard was fucking awful
Arctic white with dust specs finished over, got 2 jazz basses with rusted tuning keys (new) and the finish was uneven / bumpy
Am pro is horse shit, they're charging couple hundred more for fixes that never should've been problems to begin with. Sure they sound good but for 1500 I can get a gig worthy amp, bass, and even some pedals. Shit value and you're just paying so you can say "yeah it's American"
>>73105150
between the standard and the pro which one would you get? i like the standards pickups more.
They kind of fucked up with the Jaguar. It's basically the Johnny Marr signature model. But then again nobody ever uses the Jag rhythm circuit anyway.
As much as I love Teles, I hate those old school bridges that consist of the 3 brass cylinder saddles. 6 individual saddles make for better intonation. The Amercan standard series had this but they regressed.
Other than those two complaints they seem cool. Is the treble bleed circuit Fender has been hyping actually good?
Without further ado, here is the long-awaited 2017 edition of the Patrician Council's famed essentials chart (rock & pop edition).
Jazz, art and traditional music editions on their way.
every time you make this chart it keeps getting worse
If you're the real CLT, what infamous incident occurred that led everyone to believe you were dead for months?
>>73104585
Or you keep getting more plebeian. My money's on the latter.
>>73104586
A larger-than-intended dose of the ol' H2O2.
