Albums ruined by vocals

Every math rock album.

A Love Supreme

Every alt-j album

Not albums, but many electronic subgenres (trip hop, drum and bass, grime, house, breakbeat, trance) produce mediocre stuff because of this. Producers who feel the need to add vocals (usually female cheesy ones) to their music. Ew.

It seems like something I could like, but the super operatic vocals are just too 80's for me. I'll keep trying though.

>>68899308
THIS. Animals would've been so good if I could just turn the singer off.....

>>68899739
This album wouldn't be nearly as good without the vocals. Why does everyone hate on them? Aversion to emo vocalists in general?

>>68899308
Spiderland vocals are pretty good though

>>68899771
Well, to be fair, yes. I'm just not keen on emo vocals in general; apart from some American Football songs there's not really any Emo I enjoy

>>68899739
get fuckt pussy animals is bestmath rock album of the last decade in part because of the vocals/lyrics.

I actually agree with this. I'm glad I'm not the only to think the vocals are the weakest part of the Beach Boys' music.

>>68900224
Isn't a lot of the point of them the vocal harmonies?

>>68899772
Spiderland isn't Math Rock though. It's a precursor to the genre, it includes elements that would later become staples of Math Rock but isn't in any way the genre as we know it now.

I fucking know, right?

The vocalists usually suck. They usually way overproduce them, and when they autotune they go overboard. They often don't even try to fit it to the track well, rhythmically or structurally, either by having the vocalist sing a certain way or arranging it in production.

And even on the rare occasions when they don't fuck that up, the lyrics are still usually often the cheesiest most terrible shit, or otherwise annoying.

Only Algernon Cadwallader and the first American Football pull off vocals mixing with instruments.

you have to learn to appreciate it

its minimal and the idea of coltrane screeching into his saxophone and taking a quick moment to come close to the mic is a great moment in jazz history

I used to dislike it as well, something clicked when listening to nightfall, though.

Give it another shot, anon. It's so good

>>68899798
I fucking hate that song, seriously.

I don't know how anyone can think the vocals are the worst part of the album

All of Brand New plus the mix is terrible but it could just be that Modest Mouse already exists and is a billion times better.
