>Zen Arcade is the Divine Comedy of punk
Do you agree with Scaruffi's assessment of this album?
What is the Divine Comedy?
Not sure what you mean by punk.

I have listened to countless punk bands and I fail to understand the appeal of Husker Du and the Minutemen
>>70790564
you don't like Chartered Trips or Celebrated Summer?
>>70790564
Minutemen just is very clean and barebones.
You should enjoy the simplicity of it.

If I don't like the intro to those albums then I won't be bothered to listen to those mega albums
>>70790758
You should listen to those two songs, you might like some of their other stuff and Bob Mould's later work.
>>70790564
I'll give you Husker Du, but the Minutemen? Come on

I'm not saying these guys are bad, but you guys should check out SST's lesser known bands like Angst and Divine Horsemen, they are better in my opinion
Zen Arcade is ok, but the songs blend together way too much and the concept album idea falls apart 3 songs in

It's a book written by Dante.

What in the absolute FUCK is this? I just listened to the first "song" and it's literally a bunch of noise. It's not even different noises. It's like the same thing repeating for three minutes. I don't understand how people can enjoy this. If the whole album is like this, I don't want any part of it. This is not a "classic" album. This is fucking noise.

>concept album idea
ugh dude you just don't GET it!!
>>70788879
It's a good album but Scaruffi is a total fuck head. No one actually gives a shit what he thinks.
>>70788879
I mean thats not a perfect comparison but its probably the closest thing to being the punk equivalent of The Divine Comedy

actually a lot of people do. he knows a shit load about art/culture/music history. did he give your favorite album a 5? are you a beatles/radiohead fan?
