Signor Benedict the Moor - Maiden Voyage Suite
>Experimental Hip Hop, “”Conscious Hip Hop””

A pretentious little hip hop EP consisting of one 11 minute track, followed by the relatively painless 1200am. The first track, “Maiden Voyager”, is gamut of different beats and styles, covering everything from boom bap, to electronica, to noise rap, to an awful lot of progressive-rock-inspired stuff actually. And while that at once amounted to a guitar solo, the rest isn’t quite so awful, just really not as interesting in practice as it is on paper. As for the lyrical content, the track seems to be about the singer/rapper leaving earth, in some kind of space ship maybe(?) or perhaps more cringe-worthily, spiritually. It’s admittedly technically pretty airtight. Signor has a bunch of pretty flawless and unique flows and vocal sounds, and he’s not a terrible singer either. It’s just not that interesting. It’s like the words never hit hard or anything.

There aren’t many if any standout moments, and I hardly remember the second track, which could have easily been rolled up into the roll of the first track (which is already just a big train of different short tracks). The themes seem similar enough anyway. Also, the beat has a very faint sample of what sounds like the iPhone red alert warning alarm clock alarm, which really triggered me.

It’s all bit of a snoozefest desu. Nearly fell asleep listening, actually.

5+/10

Unknown Artists - Golden Rain
>Gamelan Gong Kebjar, Ketjak Chant, Nonesuch Explorer Series

Do I really need to justify this? It’s Balinese gamelan music—it’s the definition of euphoria. And this specific variation of gamelan music, gamelan gong kebjar, is much faster, making for a particularly breathtaking listen. The rapid fire ketjak chant too, although twenty minutes long, is ridiculously captivating from the get go. Just listen to about a minute of any song here and you’ll understand what I mean: it's simply amazing.

James Brown - Love Power Peace: Live at the Olympia, Paris, 1971 (1992)
>funk

Totally bordering on a 3.5, but some of the allure of this is lost in translation when only listened to and not actually experienced. Given that it's a James Brown performance there's a lot of hype and intros and reprises involved, which I'm sure would be fucking exhilirating live, but they get really tedious when listened to on an album, especially with the multiple call and response sections between Brown, the crowd, and his hype man. That being said, goddamn the good stuff here is amazing, some of the tightest, most exhilirating funk I've ever heard. This music, live, put in a more condensed package would be amazing, and as is it's still pretty extraordinary.

3.0+

The Cherry Blossoms - The Cherry Blossoms (2000)
>avant-folk, contemporary folk

Pretty fun with some nice melodies bubbling under the surface, but it's free to the point of getting really needlessly irritating. There are kazoos everywhere, yelping vocalists, some weird attempts at skiffle, it's a fucking mess of an album, and mostly not in an endearing way. Every time they seem to lock into a good song the band just completely falls apart, it's infuriating. I have to admire the energy and the contagious fun, but this got on my nerves terribly.

So... yeah. This movie is weird, fucked up, and lacking any plot, but I knew what I was getting into, having watched Kids.
You are made to dive headlong into a very fantastically sad and strange world that feels genuinely real.
I used to live in the deep South, and honestly this movie is grounded in reality, though I personally haven't met anyone whoring out their sister that has down's syndrome.

There is a lot of craft that went into this movie. These characters, what they wear, what they do, what they say, and how they say it... it all takes a mix of a lot of creativity and real experience.
And for the most part, I found all of the vignettes to be entertaining though some were tough to watch.
Did I enjoy it? Kinda. I was entertained, but most of my enjoyment was derived from being aware of how ridiculous yet real and deeply sad the situations the characters found themselves in were.
In the end, the stuff I took away from this movie is difficult to put into words. Just like after watching Kids, I'm left with only my emotions, getting upset thinking about all the children who exist unsupervised and unguided by a caring, parental figure of some sort.

But S/he/im couldn’t bear 01010n’s light and shattered immediately as soon as s/he was born. 01010n retreated from the scene, but left behind The Genesis Caul, a little flicker of light. Reign Array and Kel Valhaal have the task, led by the Genesis Caul, of creating poetic/cultural/symbolic structures that might work as prisms so as to refract and reflect 01010n’s light, so that some day perhaps S/he/im will be able to bear it.

Finally starting this chart, some irl stuff has come up the last few days. Also rating with numbers instead of shapes now because why not.

>Spiritualized - Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating in Space
Honestly this was really disappointing compared to The Perfect Prescription. The opening song was amazing and really hyped me up for the rest of the record. The second song was also pretty good but save for a few moments the rest of it's bloated length was forgettable. Every song aimlessly plods along and never really has a satisfying conclusion. That seems like an odd criticism when the album is supposed to be a spacey drugged out romp which it does to a T. It's just that the matter in which it does it is so monotonous, uncomfy and uninspired. I liked the choral style singing on the first track and a few of the other ones and the noisy blown out guitar section during Cop Shoot Cop was also really cool, but they can't salvage the album on their own.

Bernhard Günter – Un Peu De Neige Salie
>lowercase, ear massage, music?

It feels like this album is not so much music as it is a physically pleasing experience for my ears. A sort of inner-ear massage, if you will. A lot of extremely pleasant sounds, such as vinyl crackle or the very distinct sort of creaking sound of treading in fresh snow (may have to do with the title of the album), but then you get these painfully piercing sounds and a sort of constant high tone as well.

There seem to be a lot of silent moments in the album, however to check if it was really silent or just very low volume I always had to pause the video (thanks Dogevillage for uploading to youtube btw), since my ears seemed to fabricate their own pitch filling up the silence (if that makes any sense). Overall pleasant experience.

>>70451426
These UK bass records are all over the place and very uneven, you'll get a good idea of what it can be but not what it is at its core i think. Especially if you're lacking context with like grime and 2 step. Don't be discouraged to enjoy them, though.

"Rolling in the Deep" has a sense of familiarity from so much radio play that makes it hard to feel completely removed from the music. It's pretty catchy, and with better buildup instead of going straight into the climactic chorus, it could've been pretty decent. It would need to be longer, though, which is why I guess they made it the way it is.

"Rumour Has It" is just straight up annoying to me. It has a super repetitive chorus that comes back many, many times, and just makes you hate that particular melodic phrase, and that in turn just makes me want the song to end as soon as possible.

"Turning Tables" has some pretty good melodies. The contrast between verse, pre-chorus and chorus are all good, and the first time the chorus ends on the eponymous phrase it's somewhat effectful. I like the little string arrangements in the background, wish they had been given more space.

"Don't You Remember" is just straight up boring, and I really dislike it. There's little contrast between the different parts of the song, except for the bridge which changes key (duh) and Adele sings a little louder. Way too slow of a song.

"Set Fire to the Rain" is another one of those songs that you just sort of can't hate because you're already familiar with it. Still, it's a boring song. The chorus would need much more oomph to contrast it with the verses. Everyone says Adele has a great voice, and this would be a perfect song to showcase it. Unfortunately, both the writing and the production doesn't really allow it to shine. I feel like there's way too much compression on the entire album.

>>70460747
Hell yeah. I usually just stop listening if I find something uninteresting, you know?

"He Won't Go" is radically different from the previous songs, much fewer piano arpeggii and much more percussion. It's a lot funkier than the other songs, and I feel like the instrumentation is a better complement to Adele's vocals, particularly in the chorus. It feels less like they're going for that "epic" feeling and as such suits Adele better in my opinion. Also I hate "epic" pop songs, fuck that shit. Still, it gets repetitive, like all pop songs of this kind, where there's the same chorus played at least three times and near the end I'm just sick of it.

"Take it All" is soooo boring holy fuuuuck. It's just Adele with a piano, and she simply doesn't sing well enough for that to work. There's a bit of chorus in the... chorus, but that's it. I can't deal with it. Her voice is super nasal in the bridge too, which just makes it sound like she can't even sing well, terrible. The song feels at least twice as long as it is due to how boring it is.

"I'll Be Waiting" has like the weirdest opening, what the fuck. It starts off with some thick rock drum beats, and then just cuts that out entirely and plops in some piano and trumpets. Wacky. It's a bit more souly than the other songs so far, and for some reason it reminds me of Soundgarden, not really sure why? Definitely inspired by "Son of a Preacher Man", which is super evident in the pre-chorus. It's not terrible, but I'd much rather listen to Dusty than this. Probably the track I like the most so far.

"One and Only" is another one of those ultraboring snooze ballads, oh no. At least it's mixed a bit better than previous, so the instruments have been toned down and her voice is more prominent, makes it a bit more pleasant. Picks up a little bit of pace in the first chorus, but it sounds extremely cheesy, like a stereotypical "romance" song. The bridge is even slower than the rest of the song, and I just can't understand how you can play a piano in such a boring and uninspired way, just banging chords out. God. If this song had more build up throughout, it would be okay, but now it's just flat the entire near six minutes, and that's shit.

"Lovesong" is yet another fucking slow ballad, this time with guitar instead of piano. Still exactly the same. Even the guitar ""solo"" is hilariously boring. Also suffers from being repetitive as fuck. Just end already.

"Someone Like You" is yet another "Oh hey I heard this on the radio already!" and it's not terrible, I can undersand why they picked it as a single. The contrast in intensity between verse and chorus is actually good here. I think the melodies fit the lyrics pretty well, which is nice. The singing also picks up a bit of pace every verse nearer the chorus, which is great, adds a dimension of rhythmic dynamic to the song. Still, by the third time the chorus rolls in after the bridge (what a surprise), it's pretty done and played out. But hey, it's a bit extended this time around, great right? No.

Overall, it's neither disappointing nor exhilarating. Every single song is just straight up verse-chorus format, they're all about four minutes long, and it's very, very obvious that this is not meant to be heard as an album, but a collection of attempted singles. It's way, way too monotonous throughout, everything is a ballad, just that a few of them are a bit slower and even more boring than the rest. If it were intended as an "album" there would be a few more upbeat songs interspaced between the rest to maintain interest over the 45 minute duration.

None of this surprises me, because after all, this is an album by what is quite literally the definition of radio pop star. When you make music to sell, this is what happens.

I think Adele gets a lot of unwarranted praise for her voice, because it's really nothing special, at least not as shown on "21". The passages where she's allowed a little bit more breathing room she sounds nasal and sometimes misses notes in that "stylistic" manner than a lot of great singers can pull off, but she doesn't. She's not really bad by any means, just bland.

In conclusion, I wouldn't recommend this album to anyone. Just listen to the radio singles and maybe "Turning Tables" and you've heard it all. The rest is just more of the same in slightly different packaging, and I doubt even self proclaimed Adele fans care about it.

>pastoral ambient, cottage-core, music to frolic in the flowers with

Two days ago I tried writing a draft review and ended up panning this album for its glorification of life on the countryside, which I dislike. But as I was on the train yesterday I felt I should give this a second chance, so I did. It was beautiful, the simple melodies and field recordings paired with the sun in my eyes and the wintery landscape rolling by.

Due to the field recordings of farm animals, birds, church chimes etc. the album gives this really specific visual image of an English village on a beautiful summers’ day. It has a nice serene but very happy vibe to it, going from repetitive downtempo piano melodies (“A Summer Long Since Passed”) to woodwinds playfully chasing each other around (“Hiding In The Ha Ha”). At some points throughout the album and more prominently towards the end (“When The Fields Were On Fire”), you have these glitchy sounds, making the mood even more peaceful and serene.

I guess my enjoyment of the album depends heavily on my mood, the way ridiculously happy music or people can seem so fake when you’re down. Overall, it’s not for me but I can see how this could be absolutely stunning to someone with a very optimistic image of the countryside.

5/10

To the anon who recommended me this album: I’m sorry I didn’t enjoy it that much. If you liked this, I can recommend Daniel Norgren – Alabursy (which is extremely similar to this album, yet creates an entirely different image in my mind – one I do enjoy very much), or Max Ananyev – Communication (pastoral ambient I guess, but without the field recordings).

Jan Johansson – Jazz pa Svenska
>folk jazz, wtf-I-love-fake-jazzthreadguy-now-core

Absolutely gorgeous jazz interpretations of folk songs. Perhaps too entry-level for some of you veterans, but for me it’s a perfect middle ground between folk melodies, which are often too simple, and jazz which is often too wank-y. At first I didn’t think this combination could work, but right from the first song (Visa fran Utanmyra) I was proven wrong and loved every minute after.

Feels like I could listen to this forever. Thank you so much for recommending me this, Thomas!

9/10

>>70461446

>>70461480
>Absolutely gorgeous jazz interpretations of folk songs
Not entirely correct, English wikipedia is wrong. It's jazz music based on melodies from Swedish folk music, not direct interpretations of traditional Swedish tunes.

>>70461675
That's interesting, I had been trying to find the original melodies and couldn't so I guess that explains it.

Can you give me one Swedish folk recommendation? Your absolute favourite

In direct contrast to Adele's progress herself, "Hello" is a lot thicker than anything on 21. It's a pretty heartfelt song, lyrically, and the music matches. Soft and bittersweet opening verse that goes into a more powerful pre-chorus and chorus. Adele's singing is also better than before, and the mixing allows her to be heard much better. I think the chorus is a bit too long drawn to be really great, but it does its job and contrasts very well with the verses. Due to the choruses length, and the fact that this too is a typical verse-chorus song, it gets really, really stale around the third appearance.

Adele still sounds a bit nasal in the more ambitious vocal passages, but at least during the most important moments she hits the notes just right. I think with a proper bridge that really, really contrasts the rest of the song, it could be pretty good.

It's quite alright for a top 40 radio hit, but I'm not really a fan for the same reasons I'm not a fan of 21, which too was vastly different from (almost) anything else played on the radio at the time of its release. Adele's singing just isn't -that- great to carry the rest of the music, which is really only used as accompaniment to her voice. A bit more elaborate instrumental arrangements, somewhat longer with a good contrasting bridge, and maybe some changes to the final choruses that makes it more of a callback to the melodies of the first two instead of just a carbon copy, and I could probably dig it.

This is a great journaling of the still living Swedish folk music tradition of spelmän ("playing men"), very genuine and are (according to the label) the oldest surviving recordings of Swedish folk music available. It also documents spelmanna-music from the entire country more or less, so you'll get a wide spectrum of melodies from south to north.

Speaking of which, if anyone has ANY of these, apart from "Äldre Spelmän" and "Lockrop & Vallåtar" I would be so, so happy. I have way too little Swedish folk music, and that makes me sad.

>Telstar Drugs - Telstar Drugs
This definitely took a few listens to fully absorb, and now that it has, I'm sorry that I initially thought of them as a Calgary band essentially copying Women's aesthetic.
Though their sound isn't something truly unique, they have their own identifiable style that I'd be able to pick out.
I love the angular guitar tones, the explosive drums, and the bass, they are all mixed and layered so perfectly in every single song.

For the most part, the song structures are kinda loose and almost mathy, giving a sense that a track can completely change direction any second, and when it does, it's usually incredible and transitions perfectly without the whiplash you get from an actual math rock album. There is hardly a dull moment, and with most songs clocking well over the 5 minute mark, I find that to be impressive.

There are so many golden moments on this thing, like when the drums come in on Young Jane Fonda or when on the same track the guitar just starts belting out this insane finger picked riff and the bass rises higher in the mix perfectly in sync with the lead guitar. Or the last minute of Vertebrates. Or the entirety of Te Quiero Corazon. I could go on, and every time I listen to this album I hear something new and subtle that I didn't pick up on before.

To quote tripup's review, "the guitar work in this album is absolutely ridiculous. Not necessarily in skill or difficulty but in sheer catchy brilliance." Couldn't agree more. This is one of the best rock albums I've heard in a long time, though to be fair, the aesthetic of this band is right up my alley, and I don't think it has universal appeal. Still, it's worth a shot.

I didn't expect the new Cloud Nothings record to be as puzzling as it is. There really is some strong material on there (especially considering mellow stuff usually isn't really their specialty); but the production's so god damn weak. I like having some gritty edges in my flaccid indie rock. On this record everything's been cleaned up to the point where it starts sounding largely anonymous - I mean, I can see how Dylan Baldi's voice could turn people off on previous records, but on Life Without Sound he just sounds like a generic pop punk singer. The drummer hardly has anything to do. The dynamic range has been reduced just enough to make the loud parts sound not-loud-enough.
I would've loved it if it were more gritty, but this is just...kinda lame honestly.

Keith Berry – The Golden Boat
>lowercase, ambient, what’s-that-sound-core

Starts off with some sustained string notes, reminds me a little of what I imagine LYSF sounds like on x0.25 speed, or maybe just ambient. Doesn’t seem lowercase-ish at all. Later on, strange sounds enter the soundscape. It’s enjoyable trying to figure out what these sounds are (water, feet on gravel, paper, creaking closet door, some more I’m not able to decipher). Throughout the album, this kind of contrast between more traditional elements (piano, strings, some sort of chime?) and augmented sounds is very present. Around 11-ish minutes into the 3rd track (all 4 tracks are untitled) there’s an absolutely stunning moment where I could swear I’m a tent and there’s rain on the canvas, coming in on gusts of wind.

Great album, nice combination of ominous soundscapes and typical lowercase sounds. Gave me goosebumps a few times. One thing hindering my enjoyment is this very high and piercing buzzing sound that’s extremely annoying. I wonder what purpose this serves, apart from aural torture.

>Swirlies - They Spent Their Wild Youthful Days in the Glittering World of the Salons
The contrast between the laid back melancholic vocal delivery and the noisy wall of sound guitars was definitely the highlight of this album for me. The more traditional indie rock parts were also enjoyable and as a whole this was very pleasant to listen to. The electronic experimentation and manipulation was a bit hit or miss, especially on the sub 1 minute tracks and broke the flow of the album a bit. Also the spoken word sample things were super out of place and added nothing.

I read it, you made a good point about it needing a bridge that shakes up the structure a bit. I think that song is terribly obnoxious though as is in how one-note it feels, especially that chorus. Somehow needs more of a dynamic range. Just jarring. Coupled with the fact that this played over and over and over in stores and stuff after it debuted, but you said you weren't familiar.

Fucking hell look at this artwork lmfao.

"laughing and not being normal" is a short piece that definitely feels like an intro. Halfway through instrumental, then it gets some high pitched, seriously reverbed out vocals, I have no idea what she's singing. Then it goes into some noisy effects. The string arrangements were boring, the melodies right after were boring.

"California" starts out by sounding a lot like Rihanna's Pon de Replay, and that kind of rhythm follows through most of it. The vocal melodies are bland as fuck, really predictable. It sounds exactly like the kind of music big pop production studios put out because they want to make money. The most interesting thing is the wacky XD instrumentation, but it feels more random and thrown in because she wants to seem quirky rather than made to fit well with the rest.

"SCREAM - Aristophanes" has some bumpin' rhythms, but the lazy distorted guitar synth that goes on with the same two notes over and over is really grating. The vocals are again drenched in so much reverb that I have no idea what she's singing, but I think it's French? The chorus, which is just "screams" with some distortion and again shitloads of reverb is pretty neat. Weird and abrupt ending.

"Flesh without Blood" sounds like it belongs in some super girly high school film. Feels extremely 90s and outdated. Just straight up shitty.

"Belly of the Beat" also sounds like it belongs in a girly high school film. This kind of music is so fucking boring. It's just the same few melodies repeated over and over, over the same looped backing track. I can't stand it.

"Kill V. Maim" started out with some neat synths, but immediately it changed as soon as Claire started singing, and now it sounds like some Japanese emo pop music from like 2004. These repetitive synth lines are really, really boring. I wish there'd at least be some semblance of development, but there isn't.

"Artangels" sounds exactly like Spice Girls or something. Except there are some thrown in noises here and there that just don't belong and don't add anything to the music at all. Already bored of the melodies at the second chorus, and that's literally just halfway through. There's a "bridge", but there's no key change, no rhythm change, just another melody repeated for a little. The exact same beat that started the track goes on through the entire thing.

"Easily" sounds like it belongs in a soundtrack for a Mega Drive Sonic game, except the really, really shite vocals on top. Uninspired as fuck. Ends with some "Haha yes look how artistic I am I can make some noises with string instruments, HAHA!" garbage that doesn't belong at all.

"Pin" is just more of the same. This entire album sounds exactly the same throughout, and this point I am entirely bored with it. There's a drum loop here that I feel like I recognise as a stock track from somewhere, but I don't recall where. If not, it's just so standard and undeveloped that it might as well just be a stock loop.

"Realiti" is again just, essentially, one loop over and over with some minor variations to it, and a tame vocal melody sung on top. There's just so little substance here. It's five minutes, but the same ideas could've fit in a 2 minute song, it might have even been better that way.

"World Princess part II" has at least some neat little synth bloops that enter around the chorus and add a bit of texture. There's also a bridge with a key change that makes the song not entirely the same throughout. It's something.

I've already got Hank and The Carter Family on the list, but overall i want to kinda shy away from the "country" that everyone knows already and showcase a lot of the stuff that either gets discredited or ignored by a lot of people not too familiar with the genre.

I was thinking just a top 100 chart or something but the more i keep gathering albums the more i think i should just do like a top 10-12 showcase of different styles (like "Classic", 60/70's, Outlaw, and Pop Country), otherwise i'd miss a lot more stuff in favor of familiarity or crossover appeal.

>>70469451

1.5/5

>>70469476
>But that's wrong
I would argue it's not incorrect in that context. I was basically saying that it would be easy to confuse a sentence containing just kanji as Chinese, as they share several thousand characters. They're not called kanji in Chinese + the characters all sound different and use a different method of speech, but again, it's possible to have sentences with entirely originally-Chinese characters in Japanese.

All I meant was in that "Japanese" sentence he used, if one didn't take the time to read it at all, it isn't some monumental feet to not realize it's Chinese instantly.

Plus, afterwards he made the statement "that was the point though" which I have no clue what that man meant by that

"Venus Fly" has some dynamic in it, there's a modulation at a few places that makes it sound a bit grim, but it's still really repetitive and boring. The saving grace is the untuned violin solo just after the half way point that adds some variation, without that it would be just as boring as the earlier tracks.

"Life in the Vivid Dream" is seriously short, which I'm grateful for because Grimes really cannot support such a simple instrumental arrangement with her voice.

"Butterfly" has some fun synthesized guitar riffs in the beginning that are still there in the chorus but really low in the mix, so more or less lost, which is a shame because it's literally the most interesting thing about the track.

>>70469662
But it is wrong. And Japanese and Chinese does not share grammar, so you're really just mistaking them on an incredibly superficial level, which basically just means "it looks the same", so you might as well say nothing more than "it looks asian".

Chinese does not use Kanji, regardless of the context you're talking about. It's fair to say you can mistake the two languages if you don't know them.

I kind of like that he's going further in this cheesy 80s sounding direction, because it's my favorite artist making something I should hate but instead it's making me broaden my horizons a bit
And it actually does sound brand new as well as vintage, which is cool

I have a really, really hard time to understand why this album would even remotely be popular on this board. Anyone who likes this could literally just turn on the radio and wait for any modern, popular, female singer comes on, and it will sound the same. Worse yet, every single track sounds the same. Not just in that they're all boring verse-chorus format pop songs with somewhat similar production, but they sound exactly the same. Super simple loops played with Grimes' reverb-drenched vocals over and some seriously ill-fitting sound effects because I guess she thinks that makes it innovative or something?

As should be obvious from how extremely little I posted about each track, there's just that little substance to grab onto and make comment on. There's really nothing to say about anything, because it is so bland and uninteresting.

I'm not even sure, is she trying to be ironic? Is she trying to mock popular music? Or is she just incompetent as a musician? Genesis was so much better than this it's not even a comparison, so either she really made a run for it here trying to get on the radio by writing exactly the kind of music that's generally played there, or she's trying to make some super """"clever"""" commentary on modern pop music. Whichever it is, the music doesn't remotely stand on its own, and I was seriously considering changing to something else even before halfway through.

I hope you're happy, Anon, making me suffer through this. I would not recommend this album to ANYONE. Literally NO ONE.

>>70469737
Did you read anything I said? I'm genuinely curious. I addressed the fact that they do not use the same grammar. But you decided to make that point anyways. Good job.

>so you're really just mistaking them on an incredibly superficial level which basically means "it looks the same"
> It's fair to say you can mistake the two languages if you don't know them.
That is actually what I'm saying actually. This was my point all along.

I guess I shouldn't act like an expert though. After all, I know ~20 Kanji characters and can read hiragana/katakana (baby shit, basically) from Japanese. How much do you know from either language?

>And btw, it's Chinese, not Japanese. Shows how much you know.

I meant to say "If you speak neither of these languages it's easy to get the two mixed up if they're purely chinese characters, since Japanese stole thousands of kanji from Chinese characters" but I phrased it in a dumbass way

You did. I know your "point" was that they can be confused for someone who doesn't know the languages, but the way you phrased it really didn't indicate that.

Also I think the text in that comment by Qwerty is unmistankenly NOT Japanese, even to people who only know very little Japanese.

reviews coming over the next few days I guess

been listening to Uneven Compromise a lot lately... are his full lengths worth a listen? if so, which ones?

>>70470902
I've only heard MTI so I don't know how it compares to the rest of his discography, but it's pretty good and worth a listen

>>70470902
MTI is okay but doesn't touch Uneven Compromise in terms of the depth of his lyrics or flow for that matter. The album is kind of a joke, riffing on rap culture. Some of the beats are nice though.

I think Oblivion Access is much better. It's noisier and has lyrics that are personal and meaningful, not his usual ironic stuff.

Third Side of Tape is also worth checking out, but it's mostly a collection of all of his work spanning multiple genres. It isn't cohesive but it's full of good content.

So I've been really getting into jazz lately. Am I the only one that prefers trumpet solos over everything else? What are everyone's favorite solo instrument?

>>70473071
>Also, ironically, it's like he's making the biggest hipster statement of them all with this

That's what kills me about that list. He feels proud because he doesn't like these hipster musicians. But he hates the fact that hipsters are proud of liking them. Weird.

>>70472960
Yeah as with everyone else Serpent Music is awesome.
I used to be huge into Shabazz Palaces, but I don't care for them now.

He just comes off as so hypocritical, which is what drives me nuts. His review of 36 Chambers is annoying as hell but there's plenty of people that straight up don't like hip-hop, regardless of how you spin it. But the fact that he's so bitter about *everything* is really what weirds me out. Totally has no self-awareness, like you said.

Talking Heads - More Songs About Buildings and Food (1978)
>new wave, art punk, post-punk

Without a doubt their most obviously "punk" record. It eschews most of the funk and the spacey production of their other releases in favor of a more straightforward punk sound that plays to the band's rhythmic strength while seemingly forgetting about the extra funky elements that makes them a truly great band. There are some fucking killer tunes, "Thank You for Sending Me an Angel" has one of Chris Frantz' best performances; "The Girls Want to Be With the Girls" is a really pretty song, with an etheral piano line driving it forward; "I'm Not in Love" is anthemic as hell, like pretty much every other song with the same title; and "The Big Country" is one of the band's best songs, a perfect closer and a song that practically invents alt-country. There are most definitely some duds, however, and it's without a doubt one of the band's most inconsistent albums. They'd definitely hone it in later.

Big Pun - Capital Punishment (1998)
>east coast hip hop, boom bap, gangsta rap, hardcore hip hop

First things first: skits in hip hop albums suck, and this album has possibly the worst skits I've ever heard in a hip hop album. One skit features Pun in a threesome (breathless sex noises included), one has him shooting some guys, one has him in an interview, not only are they irritating as hell, they break up the flow of the album terribly, and bloat it to an awful 71 minutes. The actual album here is pretty good, though. It's generic '90s boom bap, and the production sometimes leaves a lot to be desired, but Pun is a really great rapper, and manages to carry even the lamest of the poppy songs. It's alright, but I don't think it's all that it's cracked up to be.

>Leo Kottke - 6 & 12 String Guitar (1969)
>American Primitivism
This is the first american primitivism album I've ever heard and I was really impressed at the talent that Kottke displayed here. Unfortunately many of the songs were too short and had very little time to develop into something interesting beyond a nice melody. While this album was good, I feel like I will soon find much better out there and am really excited.
~6~

>Sd Laika - That's Harakiri (2014)
>UK Bass, IDM, Post-Industrial
That opening track blew me away. If this whole album was as good as that one, this would easily be at least an 8. "You Were Wrong" was also great, first starting out with a piano-driven hip-hop-esque beat with a little white noise thrown in, then transforming into this heavy, booming mutant version of the same beat. Most of the other tracks were either good but too short, or severely lacking cohesiveness/development. Recommended if you want some experimental bass-heavy dance music.
~6~

>Contortions - Buy (1979)
>No Wave
Buy kept me interested only because of how wacky this music is. It's not every day you hear a punk record with a saxophone AND a slide guitar. However I thought the songwriting itself left a lot to be desired. This album rides so hard on being quirky that there are few memorable tunes for me. An interesting record that can be spun several times, but I guess it just really wasn't for me.

>John Coltrane - Blue Train (1958)
I don't really know how to review jazz yet (I'm still learning), but all I know is that I really liked what was going on here. The first three tracks were the highlights for me. I can't wait to listen to more Coltrane after this one.

Agree about the Pun album. It's actually one of my favorites but the skits bloat it way too much. He's an awesome lyricist, I just wish his album wasn't released in such a... bloated(?) time in hip-hop.

>>70474995
Glad you dug the Coltrane! I'd definitely recommend going through his material in roughly chronological order, rather than skipping around. That way, you can hear his progression as an artist. He adds little influences to his music as he goes and it's fascinating (imo) to see how he gradually builds to A Love Supreme and even Ascension.

Or do what you want, just figured I'd give my two cents.

I picked his 10 most acclaimed albums, and I do plan on doing those in order.

>>70475307
Sweet! I wasn't sure if anyone here would like it. It's really easy on the ears.

Holy fuck it's me chrigger

hi everyone, crigthony chrigtano here

>>70475307
Well, Illmatic is like the gold standard in hip-hop so it's hard to reach that consistency.

Reasonable Doubt, Enta Da Stage and Ridin Dirty are all classics that meet that criteria imo. Sun Rises in the East is also an underrated album that's only about 40 minutes... one of the most concise hip-hop albums I love.

The late 90's are chock full of bloated shit, especially in the Bad Boy/No Limit. But I think the early-mid 90's are fairly consistent.

>>70475354
Sounds like a plan, enjoy!

>>70475692

>>70474995
>I don't really know how to review jazz yet
Fuck, man, nobody knows how to review jazz. I think the idea, from what I've read of more professional reviews, is listening to a lot of jazz to the point where you can make meta-type analysis, like "this is very typical playing for x musician, and adventurous for y musician" and whatnot. Bc jazz is so collaboratively incestuous like that, it really lends itself to comparative writing. Of course, this in turn is really most useful to jazzaphages, and is little to anyone else. So if you're into gatekeeping, try listening to a lot of jazz or getting into theory. I know dick about theory though, so maybe that's where I'm missing out. Not that I imagine trying to describe theory in a 500-word review is interesting to anyone, even band geeks, so I hope my ignorance is bliss.

Personally, I try to establish some connections through participating band members, but I'm really not at the level where I can identify people by ear or identify if they're doing anything particularly adventurous or bland. The bodies of my jazz reviews usually just amount to "sounds nice, sounds like x or y". It's not a terrible style, but the persuasive aspect of it essentially comes down to the my conveyed enthusiasm or distaste, and how cool the cover art is, which is kind of disheartening.
