name literally one essential west-core album
Ariel Pink - Before Today
>>71863941
pet sounds
Ariel Pink the Germs Screamers and Kim Fowley immediately come to mind
Of course, that's just because Los Angeles and dirty old Hollywood are the most interesting part of the West Coast
/mu/'s thoughts on this emotionally wrecking, painful, heartstring rapist of an album? i just listened through the whole thing and it's honestly the first album that's made me cry... well, ever.
The only album that made me cry was Buyer's Market
it's shit and you're a faggot
>>71863917
I can't identify with either side of the debate on this album. It didn't make me cry once, not even close. It wasn't emotionally wrecking for me, and it wasn't painful, it was just the best album I've heard in a long ass time.
The lyrics were fucking great. They painted this world so vividly for some reason despite how little he actually goes into his physical surroundings, it's like I'm picturing physical events every time he speaks. It's quite uncanny.
And what's with people saying there's a lack of melody? Are you guys fucking braindead cause these are some satisfying goddamn melodies. If you listen to Seaweed, Ravens, Real Death, Soria Moria, Swims...actually this entire album, and you try to tell me that these guitar arrangements aren't some of the most lush and atmospheric shits you've heard in this genre then I don't know.
I hate seeing people apologize for this record. Saying shit like "uh it's not SUPPOSED to be songs" or "just let him grieve." No, go fuck yourselves, you sound like you have zero room for emotional capacity because this is one of the most well-written and cohesive album I've ever heard, and probably ever will here. I can't stop listening to it. Probably a 10 but numbers don't mean shit
>endless is better than blonde
it was literally just a marketing tactic to build hype for frank ocean, you absolute contrarians
they're both good but yeah, I agree. Anyone who says Endless is better just wants to be contrarian for the sake of it.
endless was better but had a lot of "filler" or in between songs. blonde was still great but more because of consistency
>>71863924
how?
slide on me is easily his best track yet.
if he polished off those "filler tracks" could have had an classic on his hands.
blonde is okay but none of the songs are great for me. just a bunch of solid songs.
I finally get it. The reason flav wears a clock. Hiphop artists like to wear expensive things around their neck. What's the most precious thing in life you can't buy? TIME.
Anon, I don't think Flav is that deep.
>>71863509
Because he's a negro?
>>71863569
YEAAAAAAAAH BOOOOOOYYYY
>Autobahn (1974) finally abandoned any intellectual pretense and laid the foundations of disco-pop, but now their operation of "black exploitation" was not all that different from what Presley and the Beatles had done: 1. take black music, 2. remove the provocative elements, 3. enhance it with modern technology, 4. and turn it into easy-listening music for the white masses.
What did he mean by this?
black have a monopoly on rhythmic music obviously
>>71863406
>>71863406
yeah, he's a fucking retard, we already know that
Damn.
The ONLY artist who has a chance at topping this album now is Kendrick.
the ultimate battle of indie rock vs. hip-hop is about to begin.
it's glorious
>>71863302
>Kendrick vs sad indie folk album about the death of a loved one
Hmm when have I seen that before
>>71863302
If kendrick's mom or some shit dies and he writes an album about it, it will be unstoppable.
>>71863302
I highly doubt Phil or Kendrick care about battling to see who will get the AOTY for 2017. That's all in your head.
When did you grow up and realize you're not too good for pop music, /mu/?
>>71863298
When I discovered Grimes. It's admirable how well she blends pop with experimental and how she doesn't give a fuck about people judging her taste.
>>71863501
this
>>71863298
when I learned music theory and realized 90% of top 40 is more musically sound and competent than the majority of mucore
this is indisputable and the fact /mu/ denies it shows they know little about music and are just trying to feel special through what they listen to
Come on guys....Cherry Bomb wasn't that bad, At least a 6/10.
It's his best. Wolf sounds too clean.
Eh. 4/10. His worst project. Not bad enough to make me give up on him forever tho
>>71863273
Nigger legitimately thought he was dropping his Kid A with this album.
What are your thoughts on solange ?
*deletes A Seat at the Table*
>>71863182
cool but boring
6/10
Gerry & the Pacemakers' earliest singles were better than the Beatles' earliest singles
>>71863177
Gentle Giant's debut is the better GG album (tho I like the others a lot too)
>>71863177
classic rock in general fucking sucks except the doors
Piper is best Floyd
The Beatles is legitimately one of the worst bands of all time.
This is what happens when a bunch of faux-artsy boomers really want to be cool and different but are too dumb and uninteresting to do it any way possible and also think they're too good for anything that conveys any kind of emotion. Or is catchy. Or is written well. Or has anything redeeming.
Listening to this god-awful band is like having an 8th grader beat me over the head with a finger painting. It is so contrived it's agonizing. These guys so hard to be artsy it sounds like the members have veigns popping out of their forehead.
It goes out of its way to be different because it has no other ways to be interesting and the way it's different is just random bullshit. It's lame as fuck and them cranking that factor up to 11 doesn't change that.
I don't expect any kind of rebuttal because their fans are the worst kind of lwg that act like babies when someone doesn't like what they like and think insulting someone is an argument.
Le ironic copypostaposting xD
>>71863108
fucking no good thugs
only bait because i believe you're serious.a troll wouldn't have your passion.
i'm not even a fan of the beatles particularly, but you're clearly just like 16 and have been told you have shit taste by someone in your class because you don't like the beatles. instead of telling them they are wrong, you're venting here.
Remember when RAM leaked on /mu/ and everyone listened to it at once and the track order was reversed so we all thought Contact was the first song and it was basically the best possible opening song for the album, but then we were all disappointed because it was the wrong order.
I just remembered that moment, why the fuck isn't Contact the opener?
RAM is poo poo pee pee.
>>71863026
>implying Give Life Back to Music isn't a great opener
>>71863026
seriously, who gives a fuck
it's a shitty band
This scene is so bad
>>71862994
kpop is a genre
hey hey bros been noticing lots of unchillian dudes been giving the good ol boy mac shit for making albums that all sound the same.
well im here to tell you that it isn't cool to act like that. so what every suburban kid wants to go raid thrift stores and take all the clothing from poor ppl. just having fun my mans. so why u gotta rain on their parade

>>71863044

>>71862799

>>71862799
Good. I'm glad people are realizing the Beach Boys are the superior band.
Have you taken the Beachpill today, /mu/? pic related is single of the year
>>71862915
Perfect band
Perfect people
I just can't find myself thinking there is a tragic story behind all those really catchy tunes.
