ITT: Albums you just don't get

>>68538159
Play STALKER with some realism mods and you'll can get it
>>68538187
Yeah me either. They promised me noise rock and sold me that shit

Anything by Sufan but this one especially. One of the worst albums I have ever heard. Reminds me of Cirque Du Soleil. All this contrived, arbitrary, corporate whimsy. All sentimentality but no sentiment. I am constantly flabbergasted that people go suckered into this shallow, emotionally dishonest trash.

two conceptual for me

Unless you heard it in your teens, you're not gonna get it. I hard it when I was 16 and now, it's in my top 5.

The second half of the album is pretty good. Silver Rocket, Cross the Breeze and Eric's Trip all fuck up the album.

I don't see any appeal in this, at all

>>68538252
But I did hear it in my teens anon, I expected some Big Black or McKlusky noise rock not this

>>68538159
Seriously? This is a heavy as fuck album, 10/10
>>68538233
This is GOAT
>>68538408
I liked it the first time then it died for me

>>68538159
Weird. I get this but I don't LYSFLAH. Try listening to it while reading or meditating.
>>68538187
A lot of the appeal are the textures. Also I heard it described as a punk album with progressive song structures if that gets you in the right mind set.

It feels so sunny and happy. Really comfy.

f#a# is an unbelievable listen if you have absolutely nothing on your mind.

>>68538159
This is my go-to album at Halloween. My friends get spooked by it. It's become a tradition.

Yeah he went in this really weird rap-take on a space opera that totaled 2 hours with these blaring chaotic horn and string interludes.

Too conceptual and too intimate for its own good.

>>68538159

I relistened to this recently and was pretty underwhelmed. I'm fine with everything after it but I just don't see what makes F#A# so special.

>>68538233
100% agree

sufjan is trash

I think it's like Aeroplane where you have to have a personal connection to it. No shame in not getting it, though.

>>68538734
>>68538775
I honestly find it so boring I still havent been able to finish it. People say it's similar to ITAOTS but I loved that the first time I listened to it.

>>68538957
But you have to admit the song the Glow Pt. 2 is amazing

>>68538734
>>68538159
These. Both underwhelming.

>>68539311
I wish I could answer you but I found it forgettable as well :( I can't remember which song was which. I'll give it another chance tommorow,

I'm pretty critical of it, and some have said "it's well-liked because it's prog for the masses".

>>68539311
I thought the intro track was by far the best on the album. The instrumentals are nice too. I just think his vocals are god fucking awful

>>68539658
>>68539484
:(

>>68538233
What a waste of dubs

What album is that OP?

>>68540843
F#A#Infinity by Godspeed You! Black Emperor

I very much recommend it. It is some apocalyptic feeling, crescendo-heavy rock with long tracks and epic moments

I doubt OP is still here

Man, Sufjan fans are cringey

Stay Here just clicks instantly, but it gets stale by the half of the album.

>>68541098
not a fan of power for power or weakling?

>>68538734
Mt Eerie is the album that blew me away. Couldn't believe that The Sun was by the same band when I first heard it.

>>68538734
Good breakup/depression album

That's how I got into it

>>68538549
If you don't have good and loud speakers you will not get it i think

Fuck you, KFC twigs. You told me this album was GOAT.

>>68538734
It's a mix between comfy and feelsy. It's like Aeroplane's older, less intense brother, I guess.

>>68543272
Fuck you too, faggot. (I guess you have to listen to that record in comparison to Native Speaker. It's a great shift in sonic direction. Idk.)

I feel you, Viper puts out some really challenging work.

I've tried around 4 times but still can't get through all of this in one sitting

using big words doesn't make you clever, especially if you don't know what they mean

>>68541098
this. i'd be lying if i said i like early swans
not a big fan of industrial and no wave, so that explains a lot

Their worst

>>68543606
Oh right, I forgot. Sufjan Stevens is so underground and indie. It's a wonder he's been able to get anywhere without the help of marketing or management.

Get real, idiot. Sufjan is about as authentically entrepreneurial and indie as Rihanna. You're living in a delusion.

>>68543588
it's fun, basically. Some harsh noise has all this detailed texture and rhythm which you can appreciate, but this album is just unadulterated noise and fun. It's a bunch of crazy japs getting together and releasing primal energy. Some people will dig that, but obviously to some it will just sound like the retarded noise it is

>>68543714
This also.

I really like the rest of their discog but this album is so dull and boring.

>>68543588
Don't overthink it. It's just cathartic.
