ITT: Albums that really aren't that great, but for some

why are you pretending it isn't great op
are you
a young person

ITT: my opinion is objective fact and I can't comprehend how people can possibly disagree with me

how dare people like something you don't like

>>68929927
Why make threads like this? Why not give reasons for why you think it isn't great or try to foster some type of discussion at all

reccing Peter Soros - Buyer's Market

Remain In Light and Spiderland are the first two that come to mind.

>>68930361
I didn't realize listening to Loveless was tantamount to child rape

>>68930382
That record made me feel sad

It's what happened behind the music to make the music for that album. They revamped themselves and experimented with almost every aspect of their musical abilities. It was an album at the time where almost everyone else was just producing raw, unobstructed production for their albums and MBV cranked it up to 11 with production and set a standard for music much like other albums that pushed the envelope.

I always put it up there production-wise with stuff Phil Spector did where he made his "Wall of Sound" which is what MBV did with the album.

It sounds like a generic "Indie" band to me. Same shit was being done prior and is still being done today. Unremarkable, out of tune playing with some backstory gimmick that makes it superior to other things.

Name one album previous to this that had the same sound

>EVERY ALTERNATIVE BAND EVER RIPPED OFF OF DAYDREAM NATION AND DAYDREAM NATION IS THE MOST INNOVATIVE AND IMPORTANT ROCK ALBUM EVER MADE IT SPAWNED A ZEITGEIST

meanwhile years beforehand Dinosaur Jr. pulled off the exact same sound only with far better lyrics and singing on You're Living All Over Me and Bug.

I just don't get it, also 'Is this it' by the strokes. Am I alone in hating 99% of rock made in the 90's, early 2000's?

>>68933600
I dig SY's lyrics and don't really need their voices to be the lead melodic thing. I dunno man, most people rate J Mascis for his guitar playing so I thought you would understand how insane Daydream Nation is as a guitar record. It's so wicked.

>>68933667

>>68933667
In a decade where most popular alternative bands had no "ambition", keeping it minimal and usually limited to the same kind of influences, the Pumpkins come up with this huge 28 song double album full of different influences and sounds. It could be commercial suicide, but they actually pulled it off and became bigger than ever. Very few bands had this sort of ambition the Pumpkins had in the "indie" scene, certainly no band as big as the Pumpkins.

Regarding Is This It, it kind off brought a new vitality to guitar music and was just the perfect representation of the New York indie scene at the time.

>>68931403
> 128 and 256 kbps files all over

Is this a fucking joke?
I mean ok, its pretty retarded to bitch on free stuff, but I cannot comprehend how can someone decide to create something that huge without doing it properly.

>>68929927
>everyone pretends they are
It's my opinion that Loveless is good. It's your opinion that it isn't. I'm not pretending. I enjoy listening to it, you don't. Simple as that.

>>68929927
>albums that i misunderstood, and therefore must criticise

This is a mediocre band that has a kooky name and a fashionable aesthetic, its a fashion statement over a genuine musician. Most of its fans are avant teens that are sad that Radiohead isn't obscure enough for them to fawn over.

the problem with this is that some of the /mu/core is just weird stuff. Regardless of if you like it you have to acknowledge that it's not normal music. Some of it everyone should be able to appreciate, but there isn't something wrong with you if you can't stand meme grips or Spiderland.

Also fuck AnCo

Honestly, radiohead is quite good in the beginning and you really like it but then you get tired of them and realize there is nothing good about them and they are your average band pretending to be avantgarde while playing mellow pop music.
I mean, they are NOT BAD but also not GOOD as others tell you lol
