so this is basically an album about fucking and teenage angst with trap and nu metal inluenced beats
yes
what's wrong with it?
so this is basically an album about mono and drug use with scotchgard influenced musicians

>Teens of Denial (Matador, 2016) was announced as Toledo's 13th album (in just six years). Flanked by bassist Ethan Ives and drummer Andrew Katz, Toledo tried to sound like an old-fashioned power-trio but he lacked both the inspiration and the energy. At worst, this is flawed power-pop (Fill in the Blank). At best, this veers towards psychedelic space-rock and Toledo is in fact mainly a master of 1960s revisionism: the eight-minute Vincent, after a few minutes of minimalist doodling, blends the Rolling Stones and the Byrds of the Fifth Dimension the Them of Gloria. There is a dreamy Dylan-ian singalong (Drugs with Friends), a falsetto ballad (Drunk Drivers / Killer Whales), a Lou Reed-ian boogie (the eight-minute Cosmic Hero), etc. The mediocrity is rescued by the passionate confessional eleven-minute litany The Ballad of the Costa Concordia, especially the last four minutes that highlight Toledo's skills in architecting 1960s harmonies and rhythmic charge. But one can spend more time discussing the titles of the songs than discussing the songs themselves.
>6.5/10
ToD is a legit 3/10, it's derivative bland indeee rawk
I think twin fantasy is garbage but I understand why someone would like it and don't shit on the album. ToD is just bad objectively
>>70604450
>objectively
nice shitpost
ToD kinda loses me after Drugs With Friends
4/10
Never been a huge metal fan myself, but ive gotten into death grips (please dont bully me). Found out MC Ride liked this band so I checked them out, ended up kind of liking them. Ive always liked challenging music (like industrial), so i think id like more metal like this.
Anyone get any recs, like black metal and death metal essentials charts or just shit like this
fuck off poser

Rilo Kiley is so fucking good. Reunion tour when?
Probably soon. The economy is so fucked that fairly new bands will re-form a lot sooner after breaking up now. Old bands were able to wait 20 or more years to cash in.

>>70604274
I'm hoping 2018, ten years since they last played a show. Postal Service did that and Jenny Lewis was in that too.
(But honestly I think there may are big disagreements between band members and they probably will never reunite)
Maybe once Trump gets impeached Jenny will be in a celebratory mood and reform the band for a reunion tour. Last year she released the Nice As Fuck album.
Can you post examples of music that is explicitly anti-white supremacist? Like Nazi Punks Fuck Off and Reagan Youth, not just generic anti establishment punk

Yo,
I'm just getting into Bjork and holy hell, is this album perfect or what? So far I've only heard Vespertine and Homogenic but I'm surprised I have not really gotten into her earlier, her work is fantastic and extremely consistent and artistic.
What does /mu/ think of Bjork?
babby's first bjork album
>>70604114
Yes, I literally said this and homogenic were the first ones I've heard.
>>70604068
>>70604114
don't listen to this guy op, Vespertine is incredibly good. Great production with some pretty interesting feminine themes

M83 Junk
> 1. Do it, Try It - 9/10
I love this track. It's goofy but after repeated listens it really stands out as a unique, fun track.
> 2. Go! - 8/10
Another fun track, good energy and great vocals
> 3. Walkway Blues - 9/10
Very well done song and gets better with multiple listens
> 4. Bibi the Dog - 3/10
I hate this track. I hate the french vocals, hate the pacing of the track, it's boring.
> 5. Moon Crystal - 1/10
Awful. Sounds like elevator music. Just dreadful.
> 6. For the Kids - 5/10
I miss Morgan Kibby on some of these tracks. It's ok, but the song just plods along for too long.
> 7. Solitude - 10/10
Easily one of the best singles of 2016 and one of the best M83 songs of all time. Pure perfection. Anthony nails it on this one.
> 8. The Wizard - 7/10
Good instrumental and doesn't wear out it's welcome
> 9. Laser Gun - 8/10
A sister track to Do it, Try it and it hits all the right marks
> 10. Road Blaster - 9/10
Wonderful track
> 11. Tension - 9/10
Amazing instrumental
> 12. Atlantic Sud - 2/10
I just can't stand the dual french vocals and the music is terrible on this track
> 13. Time Wind - 6/10
Ok track, Beck doesn't add anything special though
> 14. Ludivine - 7/10
Good instrumental, flows well with the album
> 15. Sunday night 1987 - 5/10
M83 albums are known with amazing closers and this one falls flat. Very boring and ends with a whimper.
98/150 - 65.3
It sucks that the seven stand out tracks are marred by so many mediocre and terrible songs. The lack of a good closer is one thing that really hurts the album. Solitude is amazing though.
>>70604019
>loser 4/10
a catchy enough hook and instrumental but beck's delivery and the comparative irreverance of the lyrics really kill it for me
>pay no mind (snoozer) >9/10
the gross ambiance of this track is reall fantastic here; arguably the best on the whole album. the instrumental is appropriately relaxed and really let's beck's lyrics paint a vividly grotesque landscape
>fuckin with my head (mountain dew rock) 8/10
not too much to say for this one, just a fun southern rock song. the only noteable things about this track are beck's gruffer and raspier delivery, and the cool breakdown near the middle
>whiskeyclone, hotel city 1997 8/10
i feel like this track is just a less fun version of pay no mind, although it's more focused and even more vivid lyricism still makes it intriguing to listen to.
>soul suckin jerk 7/10
a bit weaker instrumentally as well as lyrically than most of the previous tracks, but still good. what really holds it back i think is the first minute or so which is kinda annoying
>truckdrivin neighbors downstairs (yellow sweat) 8/10
one of my absolute favorite songs on the album lyrically, with a well done instrumental and the bold choice to pitch shift beck's vocals for the whole song, the only thing that stops it from being ranked higher is simply how repetitive in structure it is.
>sweet sunshine 6/10
certainly the harshest track on the album, i think it also has some of the weakest instrumentation on the record. the vocals aren't too bad i don't think, but the repetitiveness hurts this song as well
>beercan 8/10
a much lighter song thematically than most on the album, i wish this song had gotten popular instead of loser. a fun instrumental, some of beck's best rapping, and a memorable chorus, this really could have gotten popular at the time, and deservadly so
>steal my body home 3/10
the worst song on the album imo. it sounds like he was trying to go for something trancy, but the stale instrumental and stale vocal performance make 1/2
I want to review a David Bowie album.
First reply decides which one.
(I've listened to all of them MANY times)
>>70604589
2/2
this track an absolute bore to listen to
>nitemare hippy girl 7/10
a fun and quirky song about a fun and quirky girl. i'm not such a huge fan of the melody during the verses, but all in all a fine song
>mutherfucker 9/10
a super lo fi death metal(?) track, the frantic atmosphere and the sheer chaos in the song perfectly capture a visceral feeling of paranoia, even to someone like myself who doesn't ususally feell paranoid
>blackhole 10/10
this is the song that steal my body home was trying to be. i have a soft spot for trancy songs, and blackhole is one of my absolute favorites. the instrumental, the vocals, the lyrics, all of it works perfectly together to create that blissful and relaxed state.
i ain't counting analog odyssey
full score: 90.1 in summary a good ass freak folk album
Name two instruments other than keyboards that can play a complete A#13
I don't know what an "A#13" is
Is that a death grips song? Fuck off Theoryfag McRedditCuck

I really liked Painting With. I don't know why people hated it so fucking much. It's so catchy and fun.
It was released during the summer days in my contry and I listened to it for 2 months straight.
>>70604002
Listened to it the past few days
It's really fun and always puts a smile on my face. Not AnCo's finest, but still love it.
>>70604002
>>70604025
I'd say because they have 3 other albums that are way better, way catchier, and way more fun

I liked it, although mercedes was really repetetive.

/mu/, how do I convince my "le wrong generation" philistine of a friend that this is a good album?
>>70603440
That album, if you could even call it that, is trash.
Music taste is very personal and in most cases you aren't going to change someones opinion.
