It just has a really cool atmosphere that's unlike any other sample based album. Also has a really consistent tone despite the fact that it's pulling from such a wide range of sources. A lot of people don't like it because they're expecting the best collection of hip hop instrumentals ever put together, but Endtroducing isn't really about that.

I'm a Death Grips fan so I'm supposed to like this. Well the rest of the DG fanbase creams over Kendrick so naturally I checked this out. Didn't enjoy.

For the Kate Bush album, the first side are some of the most emotional and well put together pop songs that I've ever heard, and the second song is a concept that's executed fairly well. It was also one of the first albums made with a computer iirc, not to mention one of the first female pop stars writing her own songs that got really famous

Madvillainy is more experimental when it comes to Hip-Hop. The short songs and lack of focus on hooks hadn't been done before (I don't really like the album that much either but i see the appeal)

>>70822160
This album doesn't have anything to do with DG wtf

This album is more about lyrics and concept than just production so if you don't care about black issues then there's really not much there for you

>>70821705
It's the ultimate album of making new music from other music, what's not to get

the only thing anyone has told me is that it sounds bad on purpose.

it's produced perfectly

>>70822306
That's wrong

When I listened to this >>70822294 for the first time, I didn't liked it. But then after couple more listens it clicked.

Sometimes it just didn't clicked yet

>>70822261
I didn't say it had anything to do with Death Grips.. but given that DG fans like Kendrick Lamar I thought we'd have similar tastes idk.
It's not that I don't care about black issues. I just don't find the beats pleasurable to listen to. If I wanted to listen to something just for the lyrical message I might as well download an audio book.

>>70822294
it did the same thing for shoegays kraftwerk did for electropop. it set the direction, but mostly it's a meme

>>70822294
There's nothing special about any chord progressions, there's only 7 chords with slight variations

It also helps if you have synesthesia

>>70822399
loveless didn't start shoegaze it ended it
no shoegazed album has ever come close to it - it effectively killed the genre

>>70822383
Well that's what I'm saying if you don't listen to hip hop for mostly lyrics then it's not for you

I'm actually there with you I usually listen to hip hop for production and I think of rappers as just another percussion instrument so I don't care for it that much either, but from everywhere I've gathered the appeal of that album is mostly in its lyrics.

I honestly did really enjoyed KID A but I often see it regarded as the best piece of music ever made and I can't even comprehend that. Personally, I don't even see it as the best Radiohead album ( In my opinion In Raindows, OK Computer, & Amnesiac are all better)

>>70823297
No you're right Kid A is pretty overrated

Same for me. Before I even knew what shoegaze is I listened to Loveless and thought it was just nonsense. Love it now that it's had time to grow on me

>>70823297
It's a great album and my favorite Radiohead album, but yet, part of me always thinks that the reason why the album got so much praise was due for its time. After OKC everyone just hyped Radiohead on every sides and keep speculating what will they do next. And they drop an album that's not only different, not only almost an antithesis of OKC, but also just as good as OKC, did cloud everyone judgement. Not to mention that late 90s/early 00s was the time where every rock bands seems to rip OKC off and yet, Radiohead did an album that isn't remotely sounded like Radiohead back then.

Dubs checked, but you know nothing about what makes TPAB if you think it's just about lyrics. The production is phenonenal, unlike any rap album before or since, and is thematic given the very deep rooted African American influences, leading to very jazzy production.

>>70823460
Yeah that makes sense. Is KID A really considered the antithesis of OKC? They're obviously different, but not to an extreme.

>>70823601
It's more like "these people like OKC? well I'm gonna make something different, that will show them.". Knowing how that little shit Yorke operates, that might be the case.

It's more minimalistic compared to OKC. Pretty sure the trace of alt rock they got is almost gone in this. It's more jazzy and electronic. It's more experimental where the song Kid A itself is pretty weird for a song by a mainstream rock band at that time. It had no singles but instead just snippets in form of 30 seconds ads. Not to mention that the lyrics are just random shit they put just because.

The fact it was popular it's funny to me.

>>70823677
Ah yeah I see what you mean. To me; it's not entirely different sonically, but the concept of it and the way it was made is definitely quite different.

it's just fucking beats why do people worship this so much? is it because he memedied 3 days later?

>>70823897
It's a fun concept album that captures the spirit of archetypal seafaring adventures in a tonge in cheek way. At least that's what I like about it

>>70823897
This one took a while for me, but mostly because I was half expecting an album full of "Ocean Man"s and was disappointed. A lot of the songs seem like goofy throwaways but the album comes to life when you discover that even the jokey tracks are rooted in great melodies and pop songwriting.

I remember listening to it and not rly liking it, so I just went and listened to Quebec instead. That clicked with me, then I was able to move back through their discog and like it all, so maybe try that. I find Quebec more accessible because it is way less jokey than the rest of their stuff.

>>70823975
IMO, I really like the sources of his sampling. Of course it gets praised a lot for him dying soon after and the album being entirely made while he was sick on his bed, but it really is a solid instrumental hip hop album.

It's a really enjoyable hip hop. Compared to Entroducing which is almost much more grand in scale, this one is just one continuous instrumental hip hop that's just made to entertain, and it did its job.

That's just the reddit taste. Liking anything critically acclaimed by Fantano or Pitchfork and then claiming to not liking both.

Maybe it's just not for you?

I love nearly everything AnCo related and I think their discography is diverse enough that pretty much everyone could find something they love. But of course there can always be exceptions.

>or any anco for that matter

Have you listened to everything they've done? Almost all their stuff took multiple listens for it to click with me but eventually I came to love pretty much all of it.

Just once? Like we both said it usually takes more than one listen to enjoy it. Or like I said, maybe you just simply don't like it and never will

All rap and hip-hop is unlistenable to me. I just can't. I wish I could, because I feel so left out with everybody jizzing over these contemporary hip hop albums. I tried many times. I'm too white for that shit.

>>70824524
What kind of music are you into anon? Maybe you should try Person Pitch.

>>70824077

Have you tried Eyedea? He's good but accessible to rockists. Same thing with Beastie Boys

>>70824274
I didn't find this album special when I first listened to it and after that I've read that is sounds like an album someone can only make when they hit rock bottom. I'd like if someone could expand on this.

>>70823975
Yeah, I didn't like this either. I think part of it is that the songs are way too short for my liking and it sounds schizophrenic.

>>70823518

A heroin addict and family friend recommended this to me as the "best album ever". It's so highly rated on RYM, but it just seems "okay" overall to me, doesn't blow me away or make me want to relisten to any of the songs. I saw the genre tags and thought it would be like Clan of Xymox, which I love, but it doesn't grab me like any Clan of Xymox albums do.

Is there a different Cure album I should try as someone who really likes Xymox?

>>70822294
I think the only reason someone can't like My Bloody Valentine is because they have a shitty sound system without a subwoofer, or they do have a subwoofer, but they've calibrated it completely wrong (or its a cheap piece of shit subwoofer).

You can't listen to this album without the bass layer, or it will come across as pretty weak.

Have a bad day. Break up with gf/bf, have friends who eventually drift away or cut off all contact with you completely. Wander around the city at night while listening, or in your room with all the lights off. Then it'll click

Geogaddi to me is a beautiful and sometimes spooky or creepy experience with some of the best music I've ever heard.
It's an album well worth listening to and focusing on, not just as background noise when browsing /mu/. There's tons of stuff going on in every song.
