Why is this album considered some kind of genius artistic statement? It's a pretty good album but it's just a bunch of drugged-out hippie weirdos fucking around in a studio and that's all there is to it.
>>
You can't deny that it's pretty funky
>>
Yeah, that's why it's so good.

Tell me a single album that sounds like Faust.
>>
>There was nothing left for our generation, and we refused to have anything to do with the generation that came before us.
>Are we supposed to be or not to be?

Listening to this album is like peering for half an hour or so through a window into a universe that has fully comprehended the absence of God. The cultural ruins of post-WWII Germany are likened to existential dread. Faust managed to blend the absurd, the everyday, the grotesque and the transcendent into a colossal contradiction, a catastrophic imbalance, which serves as a summation of the human condition that in a way is more accurate than any rational discourse.

I don't think I could listen to the first half again but the second half was alright
>>
I didn't like this album very much after I listened to it for the first time. I loved Faust So Far so I decided to revisit it. Still didn't like it.

There's something that just didn't click until a few years back. Then everything sounded perfectly in line.

Other albums that I've had similar experiences with:

Spiderland
Spiritual Unity
Mix-Up (Cabaret Voltaire)
Orgasm (Cromagnon)
2nd Annual Report (Throbbing Gristle)

Miss Fortune is hands down one of the greatest songs ever made

Is there a more cathartic moment in music than the middle section breakdown?
>>
>>69463509
Do better.
Can you? No? Shut up.
>>
>>69463509
At the same time though, good art doesn't have to be a self-realized mentality/statement, it can also serve as expression. In this case the expression was channeled in a way that was maneuvered by thought/intention, which takes it a step further.

>>69463509
You are just trivializing it.
>>69464871
Not an argument.
