To a lot of people, heavy metal is today's real rock-and-roll--the music of the people. It's basic, it's rude, kids love it, parents hate it. But a closer look reveals how stupid and delusory it is. Metal isn't basic, it cultivates a pseudo-virtuosity that negates content. The dreams it promulgates are foolish and often destructive. Eighty percent of the "people" who like it are male and 98 percent of them are white.
Tfw my black gf listens to more metal than I do..

>Eighty percent are male
this is honestly a low estimate, it must be at least 95
it's also a totally glib, meaningless non-point but hey ho

>Metal isn't basic

>pseudo-virtuosity (so non-virtuosity i.e basic)
>that negates content (i.e. basic)
>le fucking white males
This guy is genuinely retarded. A pompous pseudo-intellectual thinks he's a literary genius because he tells teenagers what pop music to buy. lmao, what a fucking failure.
Recommended me some albums with amazing writing

Most of Tori Amos albums up to 2005 had interesting lyrics,
>gf asks if I like Muse
>She tells me I can't make fun of/talk bad about Muse
>She made fun of Bjork's singing voice
Seriously considering breaking up with her
Has /mu/ ever broken with someone and/or stopped talking to someone because of their music taste?
>Hey everybody look at me I have a girlfriend
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>70264146
yeah just break up
Is she retarded OP?
Hey everyone, new chart thread, last one hasn't had a reply in hours.
How's your day going, what to you do for work/study. If you're a NEET we probably accept you

Everyone in that band is a cuck
This album has the best song writing within the past decade.
Prove me wrong
Joanna alone has made two albums with better songwriting.
I don't know about the decade but as a guy who doesn't like his former works maybe except Seven Swams, i adore this album.
Maybe past 5 years
How is it?
I still can't bring myself to listen to it, I just get sad when I think about it.
Is it at least better than The Love Movement?
Just listen to it, its good
It's midnight mordor tier
Same tie with their first album.
3.5/5
Midnight were 4.5/5.
Low End Theory was 5/5.
It also has many shitty political moments.
Has it leaked?
>>70263929
Why the emoji? Has it or not?
I barely come on /mu/ anymore and haven't much since I was like 16.

Noice I just got them on vinyl.
And yea everything is aight, I just love sad music and crying
I was thinking of upbeat stuff when I made this.
Am I a pleb for not wanting to record music on this thing? My friend and I make music together and he thinks he is a purist and insists that cassette will give it rawness and warmth when I mainly make textured drone based music that utilizes many guitar pedals. What's the best way I should be recording with my sound? Or how do I make this thing sound amazing if possible?
Physical mediums are for hipsters and old people
>he thinks he is a purist and insists that cassette will give it rawness and warmth
Do you think Albini has influenced his opinion? If so you can tell him that concept has literally nothing to do with why Albini does it.
record on whatever you want. your friend is stupid though. the "warmth" one older home records is probably more from shit mics, shit preamps etc.. if you guys have a later model tascam its gonna sound pretty ok and not give you the "tape" sound
Are they the most influential rap group? Not just in the music industry, but also in the real world.
That's not wu tang
>>70263595
But what did Wu-Tang do compared to NWA?
NWA practically started the genre of Gangster Rap which was extremely popular for the next 20 years. And their music both fueled and caused riots.
>>70263584
Well, Gangsta Rap didn't really pick up until Ice Cube's, Eazy E's and Dre's solo careers, counting that maybe. Today's rappers though are more influenced by A Tribe Called Quest.
>>70263595
36 Chambers > Striaght Outta Compton
First Wave of Wu solo albums > NWA solo albums
Ghostface Killah's Catalogue > All NWA solo albums.
But ATCQ>Wu-Tang
If this isn't your favorite Kanye album then you are the cancer that killed Kanye

Sounds like you don't support the growth of him as an artist, which is unfortunate. Kanye gets better with every album.

Why is Robert Wyatt never discussed here? I've recently found interest in a lot of his works & he seems to have played an extremely prominent role in British music overall.
Anyone else a big fan? I'm trying to find similar music also, so far I've only come across David Cunningham & John Greaves
