Slint is one of the most overrated bands of all time

Amongststh first wave

Bark Psychosis > Talk Talk = Long Fin Killie > Magnog = Cul de Sac > Tortoise = Stereolab > Slint = Cerberus Shoal > Gastr de Sol > I'm probably forgetting some

>>71072948
>bark psychosis
literally the worst band

>>71072948
And Pram?

>>71072961
Explain
I'd argue that they're the best at what early post-rock was all about, and totally set the standard for bands that used atmosphere and experimentation without ever getting into avant-garde wankery

>>71072999
Forgot about Pram, I haven't listened to much of them but I remember the liking the album Helium

>>71073002
>complains about avant-garde wankery
>praises Talk Talk

>>71073040
Talk Talk weren't avant-garde at all, even their jazzy sounds were pretty clean. Their experimental-ness came from the unusual song structures and use of dynamics.

some of the worst opinions i've ever read
to place these bands above slint shows a fundamental misunderstanding of why spiderland is considered so good. Especailly praising fucking mogwai over them - mogwai have absolutely nothing on what slint did

also saying that slint are equal to cerberus shoal again shows a genuine failure of understanding. cerberus shoal for the most part were a normal post hardcore rock band with long songs - can you not tell the difference between the two bands??

you people just don't want your favourite band to be mucore - so you've made yourself like shittier bands more

June of 44 > Slint

>>71073160
someone's upset that others don't like his fav band

Maybe? I still think Tweez is excellent and there are a lot of good parts on Spiderland most noticeably the entirety of Good Morning, Captain.

>>71073160
>Spiderland Internet Defense Force pulls up

I just don't like Slint. I can appreciate that Spiderland influenced other post-rock bands but I think it's not very good musically, the use of soft-loud dynamics feel like a gimmick and the rest is just above-average post-hardcore with uninteresting instrumental sections. Especially when you look at their other work, Spiderland seems like a fluke, compared to something like Spirit of Eden where art rock and jazz were seamlessly melded into a totally unique sounding album.

>>71073033
Listen to The Stars Are So Big The Earth Is So Small. It's a beautiful album, nothing is really like it.

>>71073256
Will do
Always on the lookout for new post-rock, guess Pram just slipped my mind

Everyone knows Seefeel is the patrician's choice in all of this.

>>71073220
>>71073253
well if people didn't defend things as good all /mu/ would be is shitting on bands

after reading a lot about slint i can tell you spiderland was not a fluke. Maybe don aman was, (it was barely practised) but the other songs on that album were religiously rehearsed for 3 years before recording took place - the band members were actively trying to make an avant-garde piece of rock music - and because of that spiderland is one of the most unique rock albums ever made. people can list june of 44 and cerberus shoal and a host of other bands, but none of them achieved what spiderland did. it has not been bettered.

the use of soft-loud dynamics is only a part of what makes spiderland avant-garde - like how talk talks image of "post-rock" wasn't either.

idk what to suggest - listen more carefully, read more about it

>>71073002

Slint attracts those type of overly-precious fanatics.

DUDE THE DRUMMER IS THE BAND LEADER AND RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COMPOSITIONS THAT RELY HEAVILY ON RHYTHM RATHER THAN MELODY LMAO

>>71073422
>>71073451

haha yeah reading about music, who does that haha

>>71073519
Have you ever met the slint dudes? They're pleeb-tier. I have no idea why people drool over spiderland. It's meg.

Oldham has always been the brightest dude from that crew.

>>71072801
i'm okay with that

also Dirty Three > Cul de Sac
