John Fahey - The Great Santa Barbara Oil Slick
>American Primitivism, Acoustic Blues

Oh boy. Something about Fahey's guitar playing is so unique and touching, and this is no exception. There really isn't a dud on here, as he runs through a gambit of old school blues tracks/spirituals. He adds his own touches to these tracks and as usual performs a number of his own original works as well. They ramble on a bit long at times but for the most part, there's a reason they reach the 5-9 minute mark. It's also cool to hear him in the little interludes, he seems so down-to-earth. I'm usually annoyed by skits/interludes but they add to the experience here.

Not sure what else to say, this is one of the finest Fahey albums I've heard and certainly one of the most consistent live performances out there.

Jim O'Rourke - I'm Happy, and I'm Singing, And a 1, 2, 3, 4
>Glitch, Electroacoustic

I only really added this to the collage to see the other side of O'Rourke. I knew he dipped his toes in a wide variety of styles but had only checked out a few of his albums. This is a weird little mix of minimalist stuff ("I'm Happy"), more glitchy stuff ("And I'm Singing") and an ambient cut ("And a 1, 2, 3, 4"). Aside from the last one, none of these style appeal to me that much but I can say he did it in a nice way. They were enjoyable or at least kept me entertained through three tracks. A nice little taste of O'Rourke's electronic side and I nice mix of styles but I doubt I'll revisit it too often.

I keep 'em (the ghosts) in because I enjoy the variety, and the utility required to remove them from the chart, coupled with the utility of giving some memory to those good folks' existence far outweighs the marginal utility of repossessing more unneeded pixels

Young Marble Giants - Colossal Youth (1980)
>post-punk

Really cool minimalist post-punk. Super one-note, but filled with great melodies and it has one of the best sounds I've ever heard on record. Great vocals; sparse but catchy guitar lines; heavy, driving bass; and the cutest drum machine around. The repetitive nature of the album hurts it, but it's very good.

3.0+

The Baddest Beams - Junior Beams (2013)
>indie pop, psychedelic pop

Very sweet album that's way too overambitious. There are so many ideas crammed into each two-minute pop song here that a lot of them seem muddled and confused. All of these songs would massively benefit from focusing on one particular aspect and just being more concise in general. There is a really good pop EP buried under a lot of the superfluous stuff, and it is a pretty comfy, short listen no matter what.

2.5+

Holger Czukay - Movies (1979)
>art rock, krautrock

To parrot an RYM review, it's fucking insane that Czukay went from being 1/5th of the band that made Tago Mago and one half of the band that made Canaxis 5 to making a song as schlocky and sleazy as "Cool in the Pool". This song is fucking horrendous, and the fact that it's the opener really does hurt the rest of the album. "Oh Lord Give Us More Money" and "Hollywood Symphony" are pretty alright, but they go on for far too long, unlike Can's long pieces they really have no right to be as long as they are, they repeat so many phrases and melodies and rhythms and they simply get tiring. "Persian Love" is a definite standout. It's an instrumental piece in the same poppy tropical vein as an album like Graceland, but done with a lot more restraint, and it's just a really pretty piece. Insanely spotty, and only worth a listen for diehard Can fans.

I've listened to Love's Refrain a shitload so In Summer got a 3.5

>Metronomy - The English Riviera
I already liked the singles I'd heard from Metronomy (The Bay, The Look) and it's just more of the same pretty good synthy pop. It is a bit hit and miss though. 3/5

>The Gloaming - 2
Quite nice but a few of the songs (and the album as a whole) went on a bit long, I can't really say what it was but there was just something missing even though I liked a lot of it. Maybe it was the piano, I definitely enjoyed the fiddle a lot more than it, but the piano worked really well in some tracks so fuck if i know. The guy's voice wasn't great but that doesn't matter too much to me. 3/5

Tuco and Mark and give EPs to decide I guess

A while back I started going through the /mu/core chart, thinking of picking it back up again and posting my thoughts on shit.

>>70478987
do it

>Kazuki Tomokawa - Gleaming Crayon
Before I get into the """"review""""" full disclosure: I may have set myself up for disappointment by expecting Daikanjyo pt 2 when I put on this record.

While this album is sufficient despite my grand expectations, I did find it lacking in some areas. For the most part, it sounds good except for one major flaw that really turns me off. The vocals are too high in the mix. And while his vocal performance is for the most part varied, interesting, and great at conveying emotion, it becomes grating after awhile.

This is definitely not the case with Daikanjyo, which is why I like it much better than this. The music is given room to breathe and really express itself, and there are insane solos. That piano is sorely missed here. Because there is so much focus on the singer, the backing instrumentation is built around him and just doesn't stand out to me at all. It certainly doesn't help that I don't speak the language. Really though, this is all personal preference. Only in rare cases do I care for vocals at all.

Other than that, the horns, drums, and strings are really great and complement the emotions of the singer. While what also becomes grating is that acoustic guitar, which is strummed the same way throughout the whole album. I don't care for it much, but obviously it makes sense for it to be there aesthetically.

So yeah, it's okay, but it needs time and it may not even be my thing after all. At least I can see the appeal. Gotta give a shout-out to the last few minutes on the last track, it's explosive and is what the album needed to be doing more often -- giving the listener a break from the vocals. Seriously though, the last track's climax is absolutely spectacular.

>>70479234
Ye I probably will. I used Daily for a bit a while back but I ended up not following through. Hoping I can commit more this time. Want to really get through this chart.

Soul finally fully clicked for me today so here's a bunch of stuff I was groovin' to.

Sly and the Family Stone - Stand!
Damn, it's like Maggot Brain but 3 years earlier and a lot more soul influence. This album was flippin' great, all the songs had great memorable hooks and the vocals really packed a punch.
The funk jams on this are ridiculous, I could groove to them all day.

**

Sly and the Family Stone - There's a Riot Goin' On
I enjoyed this one probably just as much as Stand! This record is a little less consistent in my opinion, but the highs are even higher.
"Luv 'n' Haight", "Family Affair", and the closer are all still stuck fresh in my mind.
I think lyrically this record has a bit more going on and the production is upped slightly which sounds p good.

**

Baby Huey - The Baby Huey Story
This fucking album blew me right out of the water. From the opening riff I knew this would be a real stunner, but I was still woefully unprepared for when "A Change is Going to Come" came on.
The lyrics are like a heart wrenching biopic, you get the sense that this man's whole life and spirit and how it all developed is being communicated to you.
And Huey's voice definitely makes it feel like he's really lived it. He sings with such force and passion that it can get pretty intense sometimes.

***

Marvin Gaye - What's Going On?
Gaye's voice is gorgeous, the instrumentals are gorgeous, the production is fantastic.
It's so sleek and polished and it feels like such a meticulously crafted album.

**

>>70480162
Shuggie Otis - Inspiration Information
"Inspiration Information" is one of my new favorite songs for sure. It's got a lush, warm sound with these delicate mellow vocals that just feel like you're being wrapped up in a blanket. But it's still got this light little groove that keeps things going.
The next 3 songs follow similar suit.
Unfortunately after that the album drops off slightly.
Even though his voice isn't the greatest, when it goes to pure instrumentals my attention begins to wane.
not to mention some strange experimental noodling that feels a bit out of place.

**

Al Green - Let's Stay Together
Now this is some smoooooooth soul.
Extremely mellow and relaxing. The title track and "How Can You Mend a Broken Heart" are definite stand outs and just instantly classic love songs.
the rest of the album is good but ultimately a bit forgettable.

*

Curtis Mayfield - Superfly
the songwriting on this album is quite exceptional, it feels like every song is one you've hear before....but in a good way if that makes sense.They're just so catchy that they feel like old favorites right from the get go.
The lyrics can be a little silly at times and makes it very obvious they are from an exploitation film.

**

Al Green - Call Me
This one was pretty similar to Let's Stay Together. Another collection of smooth as fuck love ballads.
Although I will say I do think the melodies on this are a bit stronger.
However the less interesting songs are even more forgettable.

*

>>70480178
Curtis Mayfield - Curtis
The opening track fucking RIPS.
it's crazy good. It's got such a strong and aggressive groove with a fucking fantastic hook.
So I was kinda disappointed when the rest of album didn't even come close to that point.
Immediately the music loses all it's teeth and segues with these sugar kissed harp arpeggios.
And all these overbearing baroque pop elements that just sound cheesy af.
Luckily it picks back up when the album hits "We the People Who are Darker Than Blue" and we get some sweet get downs.

Nabil signed my copy of this. I'm kind of embarrassed that this was my favorite album at one point.

Not slept so here are some shit reviews.

>Nuclear Rabbit - Vicuna
I think this might have been alright if not for the absolutely terrible vocals. The mix of metal and funk is hit and miss but there is some funky shit here. A Little Squirrel and His Crack Pipe for example is pretty great without the vocals. It takes a lot for the vocals to ruin the music for me but I can't stand the little random/funny bits he does. Shame as I could kinda get into some of the funk rock here. Bit of a slog too at over an hour. Not sure if I should rate it lower but I did enjoy quite a bit of the music underneath. 2/5

>Alexander Tucker - Furrowed Brow
Pretty good overall, the guitar playing was decent, no Fahey but it combines really well with the distortion in tracks like Superherder and the end of You Are Many. The 9 minute drone ender Pannemaker Doms is the highlight though, reminded me quite a bit of Henry Flynt which is a very good thing. 3.5/5

>>70481712
thanks man.

btw you like David Foster Wallace right? Where should I start with his books, I've been listening to a few interviews and reading a couple short stories since you mentioned one of his essays in here a bit ago (think it was you anyway) and I like a lot of the ideas he talks about but I'm not sure I want to commit to Infinite Jest straight away

This comment contains replies to two comments, one that is apparently in response to a commenter on the poster's own comment, and one in response to mine. The first passage is a very succinct and strong hitting ":/", immediately indicated the mind set of the artist without revealing too much. It leaves a lot of room for interpretation, which I appreciate, while also in a way demonstrating that the post which it is a response to is correct in its assumption. The comment also shows that the artist has an insight into, and acknowledges, his own faults and flaws, which I can appreciate.

The second passage contains a suggestion for an album, "Daniel Norgren - Alabursy". Unfortunately, this is where the comment loses merit, as it indicates that the artist did not understand the intent of the original post to which he replied. It seems that the artist thought that it would be the album that receives a review, rather than the comment itself. Highly paradoxical, considering the fact that had the artist not responded in this manner, the comment itself would also not have gotten a review.

Overall, this comment went from a very high note in the beginning to much less impressive near the end. I would still recommend reading it, as it retains a decent enough entertainment value throughout, especially once one takes the context in which it is presented in into consideration.

>>70483436
This is one of the funniest things I've read this year, thanks.

However, your original post >>70483367 is stated in an ambiguous way. If the intent was to actually review the reply, it should've stated "The first reply to this post that mentions an album on Spotify gets reviewed" instead of "[...] gets a review". In case of ambiguous formulations of the clause itself, interpretation is done in conformity with traditions since times immemorial, in this case being the intention of reviewing the album, rather than the comment. I do recognise that this was needed to reach the comedic effect, but I am without blame.

>>70483544
But isn't it
Subject: Reply
Verb: Gets
DO: Review

It seems correct to me but you also seem really sure of yourself so

>>70483544
I'd argue the sentence itself is not ambiguous at all, but due to the schema we have for these kind of things we tend to interpret it in the way you did any way, and that was entirely intended on my part. You'll still get an album review also, I just wanted to maek gud joek

>>70483589
This is not incorrect, however you either ignored or didn't understand my point. I didn't say the sentence was incorrect, merely that it was ambiguous and I made the most logical interpretation. The ambiguity is on the subject of the review. Two interpretations are possible:

1. Reply gets review of the album it contains
2. Reply gets review of the merits of the reply itself

Both interpretations are possible, of course, but since 2) is both very uncommon and would make more sense if it was worded in another way, it makes sense to assume the question implied 1).

>>70483606
If, as you admit, more than one interpretation is possible, isn't it ambiguous? That being said, it was a good joke and I'm looking forward to the album review.

>>70483757
Not necessarily, the sentence itself is structured in an unambiguous way, and only your expectations of what the intent of the sentence got in the way.

There's a difference between syntactic ambiguity and interpretative ambiguity, I'd say. From the sentence structure itself, there is only one interpretation following traditional English grammar. That is not to say it can't be interpreted any other way, because the meaning of language is inherently just an intersubjective agreement between communicators, in this case us, which would suggest that the more likely interpretation of the sentence would be the one you made.

I generally prefer the piano works because they have that nice "easy avant" feel, if you know what I mean. It's easy to listen to without being too abrasive, but it's still not boring because it's fresh and pretty unusual. The string quartets are fine I think, but they rely too much on long drawn dissonance for me to really, really get into them.

Daniel Norgren’s “Alabursy” is a up to date tribute to American country and folk singers in a modern paradigm that allows for some freedom of expression through the usage of non-traditional instrumentation and techniques, but unfortunately for me fails to captivate either the charm of old time music or the impressiveness of innovative new music. It’s bookended by two tracks that differ vastly from the rest of the album; the long drawn string drone that is “The Summer Chafer” builds into a progressively gloomier atmosphere serves as an introduction, and the melancholy piano heavy “Alabursy” ends the album on a similar note. Unfortunately, what’s between these two tracks neither demands nor really deserves such a wrapping up.

The album lacks in both intra- and intersong textural development, each song being very similar to the next and really not building up any kind of momentum at all. Even the one track that packs any kind of punch, “Like There Was a Door”, falls flat due the fact that it stays more or less the same throughout. Even so, this is the one highlight track, which says more about the rest of the album that it does the track itself. It doesn’t help that the majority of songs are also fairly basic verse-chorus pieces that get predictable just around the half way point, but to its benefit they are also all fairly short as to not be grating. In the midst of all this is what I initially thought would be an interlude of sorts to break up the album, “The Light of Dawn”, which begins as a basic noise drone, but then loses that mask and also becomes another modern country interpretation.

(cont.)

>>70484163
Apart from mostly being bland, there are parts that are just straight up annoying, such as the really grating production quality on most of the tracks that really does not go well with nasal, high pitch country style singing. Whistling segments recorded without a proper mic might just be some of the most upsetting sounds there is.

All in all, I don’t think there’s really anything bad about the album per se, it’s just that it is also not very good. Generally, for an album to work there needs to be a good dynamic between songs that both binds them together and distinguishes them from each other at the same time. This album lacks the latter, and the songs also don’t really stand on their own for the aforementioned reasons. It stands at little better than dull or bland, which are the adjectives that come to mind first when I try to put a label on this album. I don’t think I would recommend this album to people.

>>70484000
It's okay for a modern jazz album, but it's not as noisy as you'd expect with a band name like that.

>>70476777

agreed about removing random people who came here once and wanted to be on the chart like "becuz" or "Jangle&Bojangle" :)

Steve Roden – Crop Circles
>corn

The artist would have you believe that these are amplified recordings of corn. Fucking CORN! Who comes up with this shit? However, since I’ve never really listened to a corn before, as I imagine not many people have, I have no idea if this actually sounds like corn. What it does sound like, is the interplay of four elements: an immediately apparent crunchy, static sound (foreground); a very low drone (background); something that sounds like thumping on concrete (background); and starting from around the 10-minute mark bird’s tweets evolving into a high pitched tapping (foreground, going left to right). These sounds are combined in a sort of parabolic evolution where sounds are added gradually, then reach some sort of summit where all elements are present, then gradually building off. Not a very interesting album by any means.

Steve Roden – Light Forms (Music for Light Bulbs and Churches)
>title is self-explanatory, lowercase

Another album from lowercase pioneer Roden, this time focusing on the sound of gently colliding light bulbs. The first track (“Truth is the Bell”) is a very beautiful piece full of reverb, making the light bulbs sound a bit like a marimba. Very meditative and soothing, especially combined with crackling sounds and some sort of metallic tinkling. Sounds a bit like Fennesz’ “Caecilia” on Endless Summer. Second track uses more realistically sounding sounds of colliding light bulbs. Less dreamy but still beautiful. Good album.

>>70486736
part 2

Steve Roden – Forms of Paper
>lowercase, iconic

This is probably the album I would send to someone asking what lowercase is. It’s fairly simple, a quiet atmosphere punctured with different sounds. Some sound distinctly like paper, some are very far from the sounds paper would make. Nothing spectacular at all. Listening to this I can understand that the whole genre can be seen as a meme. Not great by any means and to be honest kind of bland, but perhaps recommended as a starting point to get familiar with the genre.

>>70484000

Here we go, ready to forget what normal music is:

Improvised Music From Japan, Disk 1:

This anthology starts off with a short yet sweet Yoshihide piece with a nice variance of electronic sounds. Pretty basic, but it's a safe start. The various drum rolls and percussive swells are great touches. Very engaging. The three Yasunaga pieces that follow are typically ultrasonic EAI fare, but Utah Kawasaki comes in on the third to show off some fine glitch work. The next track, Italians and JC and R, starts off with static and scratching before shifting into a pretty beautiful section of tape experimentation and jazz interpolation. Entrancing and ethereal. Definitely a highlight, so far. TT is a mammoth of a standard EAI track, and it's really causes it to fall into the background. Sounds of paper shuffling, TV buzz, and running water share the auditory space with electric improv. A bit long, but it's a nice break from the louder stuff. The final piece of the disk, Music for 50 iMacs is fantastic. I'm not if 50 iMacs were actually used here, but it definitely sounds like it. The supposed 50 computers combine to create sounds akin to power tools and synthesizers, and take on a huge amount of sonic forms before the end of the track. The loudest and most dynamic track of the disc, and the best so far.

10% done, let's keep rolling.

>>70484000
It's got an abstract hip-hop feel for sure, kinda like Danny Brown. A bit pretentious and weird for me but it's still entertaining

Kairon; IRSE is a Finnish post-rock/shoegaze band, very long and sprawling jams.

The Necks are a minimalist jazz group that heavily rely on repetition with subtle changes and slow build up. I think most of it is improv.

I highly recommend both and if you want to start somewhere with The Necks, I'd recommend Hanging Gardens.

>Bowery Electric - Bowery Electric
Yeah, this is nowhere near the hypnotic brilliance of Beat. As a whole, it sounds really pleasant as background music, but the songwriting just isn't there. The lack of catchy trip-hop elements is the final nail in the coffin, as it ends up being another run-of-the-mill wall of noise shoegaze album.
Still, there's nothing wrong with the album, and perhaps I'll warm up to it and pick up on things I didn't hear before.

>Basic Channel - BCD
I was worried that they wouldn't be able to hold my interest with this compilation that lasts just over an hour, and for the most part, I was right.
This group functions much better with quick, sub-30 minute bombastic releases such as Phylyps Trak which may well be the greatest dub/minimal techno EP (or single?) of all time.

However, I can tell there is a lot of subtlety and craft put into this album, so I'm willing it to give it more chances in the future. Also, much like the Bowery Electric, there's really nothing wrong with it, just that nothing about it enthralls me as much as their other releases did.

I'm just going to go listen to Phylyps Trak on repeat again.

Okay, finally done making this thing. Took fucking ages.

Gave the Cap n' Jazz album a 5/10. The band and songs themselves were good, but it was way too overwhelming to have to listen to them for 1h40m. Highlights would have to include Rocky Rocco, Winter Wonderland and the Take On Me cover.

So as an update on how I'm doing this. I'm going top to bottom, plus skipping stuff I already heard for sub /mu/core.

Once I get to classics, I'm going to alternate between them, Hip-Hop, Electronic, Jazz and Metal. I'm thinking: Classic - Hip Hop - Electronic - Classic - Jazz - Metal

The Undertones - The Undertones (1979)
>pop punk, punk rock

Fun poppy punk album. Like the British Ramones (or a less memorable Buzzcocks) in a lot of ways, they're less punk and more bubblegum, but their melodies don't stick out as much as their American counterparts, and their songs aren't as energetic. Some of the catchiest riffs ever written are on this thing, though, and "Here Comes the Summer" is perhaps the most infectious song ever written, and I'm not even trying to exaggerate, I've been humming it all day. Not a remarkable listen, and it definitely suffers from the lack of "Teenage Kicks" (it's just like how Germfree Adolescents leaves out "Oh Bondage Up Yours!", it's so silly), but pretty damn fun.

Only listened to Queen Is Dead and Daydream Nation today to be fair. I remember finding Marquee Moon at least decent.

Queen Is Dead was totally uninteresting/unadventurous, mostly not even catchy in my opinion, and is probably a sub-5/10 rating for me.

Daydream Nation I've heard bits and pieces of before. This was on the decent but way overhyped side. From a songwriting perspective, only few of the songs were a little interesting to me. Kind of reminds me of the dilemma people were bringing up about Loveless this past week--that it's legendary status owes just about everything to its sonic effects. Daydream Nation had gorgeous textures, but pretty boring structures and rhythms otherwise. Maybe hit-or-miss is a better judgment of this album because the ending trilogy was indeed pretty memorable.

Eno - Another Green World (1975)
>art rock

I'm going back and forth in my mind over whether this is better than Here Come the Warm Jets, mainly because this album lacks the standouts its predecessor has in "Needle in the Camel's Eye" and "Here Come the Warm Jets", but this is undoubtedly the more focused and more impressively produced album. My least favorite tracks on Warm Jets are the goofier ones that focus more on Eno's admittedly bland vocals, and these kinds of tracks are still present here, but they're given a much more supporting role, and they're done a bit better. It starts off really weirdly, "Sky Saw" and "Over Fire Island" are uncharacteristically funky and by far my least favorite tracks on the album. They're still produced really uniquely and they have some great drumming from Phil Collins, but they made me pretty pessimistic for the rest of the album. Luckily, the rest of the album is awesome. There are some throwaway ambient pieces here and there, but the rock pieces are incredibly cerebral with the best guitar tones on the planet, and the more fleshed-out ambient pieces are absolutely beautiful. Eno is amazing.

3.0+

>>70496572
i'm pretty lukewarm on GKMC (i haven't heard it in forever though), but i do really love MBDTF and TPAB, I'm glad they're in the top 100.

In all fairness, I only heard it through once. It may be a useless point to make since they were made almost a decade apart, but this and Built to Spill's Perfect From Now On seem to aim at some similar point, but the latter just does it way better for me--looser, more experimental. I did like the jamming aspect DN had at times though. Apparently Lee Ranaldo is a big Deadhead

>>70496619

there is a light that never goes out is a fantastic song but that's about it

>>70496977
This was my exact thought

>>70496977
thats not the title track
The Light is kinda them ripping off themselves, mostly This Charming Man

>>70496738
Agree with everything you said, that's definitely one of the best Eno projects.

Thanks for reminding me that Gang Starr exists by the way, I've been binging their stuff today lol.

>Seam - Are You Driving Me Crazy?
The first time i listened to this i was completely unimpressed with the whole thing. I listened to it more closely the second time and was able to pick up on some of the more interesting instrumental ideas and the use of loud and soft dynamics. While a lot of it is a bit uninspired, there were still plenty of stuff that was enjoyable to listen to. The lyrical aspect of this album fell almost completely flat to me and i started to tune them out after a while on most of the songs. The song Sometimes I forget was the exception to this because i really enjoyed all aspects of it. Overall it's a nice listen, just a bit too samey and forgettable.
6/10

>>70494906
Hey, at least you know what you like. Good luck with the rest of the chart. There's no way i would have the patience to listen to all of those albums in order.

>>70496477
>Replica is bolded
Nice! That album is so good, i was listening to it the other day

>>70496477
and they made How to Leave Town an EP for some reason even though it's over an hour long?

bud you reminded yourself lmao

i wanna get into them, what's your favorite by them?

>>70497345
i think on the bandcamp page it's called an ep

its most certainly not an ep but will called it an ep so i guess that counts

i should probably listen to it

>>70497450
as a will toledo stan i can say that it is the second best thing he's done

>>70497450
>>70497491
drop the word 'second' and that statement would be correct

>>70497407
Nice

>>70497423
Yeah I guess that's kinda true lol. Moment of Truth is definitely their best album, it's a bit lengthy but the first half is a fucking 10/10 in my book.

I like everything but their debut desu. But DJ Premier really hits his stride on Daily Operation so I'd recommend anything from that point on. Though, Step in The Arena is still worth a shot if you want to hear how much better the production gets over time.

>>70497491
>>70497573
well it seems i should really give it a listen!

>>70497655
i'll probably check out Moment of Truth soon, thanks!

Nah, it's really the fact that the experimental/industrial hip-hop schtick has been done better plenty of times. It's cool that Kanye goes into that territory but it doesn't work for me.

I'm not super into experimental hip-hop though, so you're right, I'm probably just a huge pleb

The Mahavishnu Orchestra - The Inner Mounting Flame
>Jazz Fusion, Jazz-Rock

I dug this one way more than I was expecting. Fusion isn’t typically my thing and I'm not super into prog rock but this is just well done. It's filled with weird electric tones, from the guitar to organ/piano and even a violin. Kind of got a Bitches Brew thing going on and that's most certainly McLaughlin’s influence. It's definitely a weird mix of styles too. They go on these huge wandering prog passages, mellow out on more ballady cuts and even get close to a traditional eastern folk sound.

The drumming on the proggier tracks is really what kept me going. Man, Cobham rips it up on here. He flies through these fiery, intense passages so well. It has a heavy hitting rock sound but you can tell he's used to working with jazz musicians too. The rest of the musicians are pretty great too though.

All in all, a great listen.

4/5

Horrified - In the Garden of the Unearthly Delights (1993)
>melodic death metal, death doom metal

Shockingly pretty damn good. Nice blend of melodeath with scuzzy doom metal, and the little folk/dungeon synth passages are nice additions. Cheesy sometimes, and lo-fi to a fault, but good nonetheless.

3.0

Colosseum - Valentyne Suite (1969)
>progressive rock

The opener fucking rips, but nothing else reaches that level of quality. The 17-minute suite that closes out the album has some good attempts, but it's often lost in it's own tendency to meander and focus more on technicality than good songwriting. The three songs in the middle are totally forgettable, but the bookends are interesting enough to make this worthwhile.

2.5-

Yeaahh. The worst part is, that I had already filled it up once before but I had to redo it because I lost the original. I also did it in fucking GIMP which is the shittiest piece of garbage on the planet.

>>70497329
Yep! Glad that I can say that. And thanks. There's definitely some rough patches but I think it should be worth it. My hopes is to find one 8/10 at minimum that I never would've heard had it not been for this listen through at minimum. No luck with that yet.

>>70501903
honestly, I'd recommend starting at Boys of the Feather because both that and Gasoline Weirdo are so short, and it'll introduce you to the aesthetic, so Gasoline Weirdo is just that much better
>>70501923
gave it an 8 a week or so ago, it's finally creeped up to 10, it's just kind of weirdly profound, hard to explain, probably cringeworthy to talk about like that

Beck - Sea Change

Overall, it was good. The use of underlying ambience on a lot of songs was interesting and probably my favorite aspect. The building progression of Sunday Sun and the relaxed and blissful sound of The Golden Age made them my favorite tracks. There were some average tracks and some good songs, but the album as a whole has only a few songs that really stick out from the rest, while the others just kind of blend together providing very few memorable moments or aspects. Nothing offensive here, it just didn't wow me enough to deserve more than a "good" rating from me.
