when an album gets panned by music critics does it affect ur opinion of the album?
>>71834239
I've never seen an album I like universally panned before. I don't give enough of a shit about albums I don't like to change my opinion if they get panned. So no, not really.
No if anything it makes me value the critic less unless they're incredibly valid points
I barely watch Melonhead's videos anymore after seeing him totally not get Age of Adz
I only go to p4k so I can know what cute music aware girls are going to be listening to
I like what I like and I don't really give a fuck.
I read reviews to get a rough idea of what I should check out. I don't read them for validation.
Today we'll be voting on the second round.
For discussion:
Which albums did you root for in the first round?
Which albums are you rooting for in the second round?
Which album do you think will win and why?
Which albums should've been included in the tournament?
Does this tournament have the potential to reshape /mu/ and /mu/core?
How often should these tournaments take place?

I thought you said Red beat the Low End Theory
>>71720423
>>71720425
It did. I counted the votes at exactly 10:30. Chart-guy messed up again. Don't worry about it.
>>71720415
Red vs Low End Theory result is incorrect
Chart person pls fix
You ARE buying my new album, right goyi-I mean, "valued customer"?
Yes I am.
Gorillaz is the only artists whose every album I own a physical copy of, so there's little chance I'd skip this one. Especially after hearing Andromeda and We Got the Power.
>>71834193
Do you get to sing another song like you did on dare?
If so, yes.
OY VEY! I fully expect you to PREORDER the new Goy- I mean GORILLAZ album ASAP
Post pop hits that are impossible to hate. You don't need to post Hey Ya because that's the one we're all immediately thinking of.

I am wholly indifferent about Kiss From A Rose. It sounds like shopping for sheets or towels or something. It's just background retail music.

Fuck Bruce Springsteen. He's a fucking draft-dodging, tax evading, SJW, Billionaire-Democrat-while-pretending-to-be-and-pandering-to-the-rural-working-class, poser.
This guy is one of the most overrated people in all "dadrock" (which is really saying something). His songs all fucking sound the same and they're generic bland stadium rock meant for airplay in grocery stores in flyover states. He can't sing or play guitar to save his life and compensates by surrounding himself without actually decent musicans.
And his fanbase is the fucking worst, just obnoxiously toxic. They're a bunch of white, older dads and grampas who regret wasting their life away and convinced themselves that this hack is the greatest thing since sliced bread and will pick fights with anyone who disagrees.
I swear, Springsteen is mindboggingly shit and the cult around him only amplifies that.
Fuck him. On one hand I hope 2017 makes good work of him, but on the other hand, I know that would just cause even more inccessant blind praise of him among the general public and the younger generation who will have pretended to like him all along once it's the "hip" thing to do.

Nice pasta bro, but nobody goes crazy about Bruce around here, use Death Grips or Radiohead next time.
Fuck Donald Trump. He's a fucking draft-dodging, tax evading, SJW, Billionaire-Democrat-while-pretending-to-be-and-pandering-to-the-rural-working-class, poser.

Rebelles Européens left a mark on the world between all their 45s and LPs. The label came to the forefront of the European Nationalist skinhead music scene, putting out records from its native France and abroad. Founders Gaël Bodilis and law student Brigitte Maljak, both active in the Front National Jeunesse as well as Troisieme Voie and Parti nationaliste français et européen (PNFE), managed Brutal Combat and brought Légion 88, Chauves Pourris, Bunker 84 and Kontingent 88 to lead France's nationalist scene.
Rebelles Européens produced nationalist music almost exclusively* from its inception until its untimely demise. Distinctive of the label was the open display of the Hakenkreuz on some of their releases. French law allowed Third Reich symbolism to be printed and sold publicly until 1994, which dovetailed with the label permanently closing its doors. There have been unsubstantiated rumors the French government forcibly closed the label after a police raid.

1. Kontingent - Générations futures

16. Open Season - Front Line Fighters
17. Ultime Assaut - Délivrance

*Amusingly, a Dieppe-based 2 Tone Ska band named Machtoc released an LP on this label, apparently unaware of the political leanings. So too did the Italian anti-racist band Klasse Kriminale release their debut LP, although I suspect this could've been the work of Antonella Cavanna, who was active in the band at that time and is known to keep cozy with far-right skinheads.
Prior to the shared dominance of Neofolk, Martial Industrial and Folk Metal within the far-right music scene, evocative and melodically harmonious music rarely found itself manifested in Rock Against Communism. For over three decades, RAC, lyrically and musically, sounded primitive and thuggish; even the ballads of Ian Stuart and his contemporaries channel their working class frustration with a gruff timbre. Kontingent’s Générations futures proves an outstanding exception. Graduating from primordial Oi! origins, their sophomore’s minor key riffs played in unison with acoustics and quality Hard Rock a la The Cult all culminate in producing France’s finest RAC offerings. Only one of two records released on Rebelles Européens’s ill-fated imprint White Metal Records, Générations futures saw Kontingent’s last studio release before breaking up some time afterward, remembered by true believers and weirdoes like me.
A cleaner production marks the first improvement on Générations futures. Although a bit thin, the music here is much more listenable than on the predecessors. The metallic Hard Rock still recurs here, but it’s executed with much better precision and songwriting. The tracks run decent lengths which never overstay their welcome, and the enjoyable soloing breaks up the monotony as well as highlight the guitarist’s flourishes. Also highlighting the album is Laurent Malley’s performance as a vocalist. Abandoning the croaky grunts, he sings with a soothing timbre which only occasionally stumbles over some sour notes. He’s no Bruce Dickinson, but he conveys the albums themes with conviction that's worthier than the vast majority of his contemporaries, including the goat-voiced Saga. His singing certainly redeems his other role on bass; serviceable, but completely pedestrian.
As with the production, the guitars highlight the album’s songwriting. Brooding minor key riffs comprise the entire album’s length. The guitar tone is thick, heavy and a bit fuzzy, but not overbearingly so. The album’s Hard Rock reminisces of The Cult, but “Victoire” channels NWOBHM-inspired Heavy Metal with unhindered prowess. Also adding to the album’s aesthete are acoustic guitars played in unison with the riffage on two separate occasions. You'd assume the two would clash unpleasantly and compete with each other for dominance in the mix, but they mesh together in a balanced, evocative harmony.
I never expected the same band which produced shoddy predecessors like 1789 and Au service de nos ancêtres to leapfrog on their final studio release. I even questioned whether these two were the same band, but the rear pressing of this release and some shoddy live performances of these songs confirmed it. Whether or not your personal views diametrically oppose band’s message, the album is just a joy to listen to. A shame this would be their final studio release.
