Let's have an of Montreal thread. Which albums are your

I had no idea who they were when I saw them in Madison awhile back.

What's a good album to start with? They had a pretty kickass performance.

Cherry Peel is considered a great album on it's own. The general rule of thumb is that it gets more dancey by release date.

OH THE CAUSE OF GAUZE

of Montreal are an odd band. Their discography is extremely inconsistent quality-wise however that inconsistency doesn't apply to individual albums.

When you pick up a bad oM album, most of it will be disinteresting, however if you pick up a good one, it's engaging for the entire duration.

Paralytic Stalks is my favorite.

Satanic panic imo. Then if you want more indie twee pop rock go backwards in time. If you want more psychedelia and hyper personal lyrics go forward.
I really love their new album.
What do you all think of rune husk? It seems like more divorce rock.

The Gay Parade and Cherry Peel are bangers

What a crazy band. I can't help but love em. Some of their albums are just garbage throughout. Others are 10/10.

Best:
>Skeletal Lamping
>Hissing Fauna, Are You the Destroyer?
>False Priest

I don't really care to point out which ones I dislike.

Neat band.

They remind me of Mindless Self Indulgence, as in they are extremely unique but polarizing. Also people tend to like OM by the album because you have indie tween next to glam funk

Shitty and unpleasent to listen too. I honestly think he doesn't give a fuck anymore and is just using the band as an artistic outlet.

Not that I mind, but this intentionally inaccessibility is turning me off in a way stalks did not. Slag is a good track, but that is because it was one he made with the guy from mgmt

I disagree, actually. I mean, look at their most recent album, Innocence Reaches. It's a mish-mashed clusterfuck, both in style and quality. You have some EDM/IDM-pop stuff thrown in with what sounds like Aureate Gloom/Lousy With Sylvianbriar outtakes, and even a song or two that could've been on False Priest, Speaking of which, False Priest. Half of that album is wonderful and half is utterly forgettable. Like, there are some songs on that album that are probably in my top 10 most played oM songs, but then there are songs that are so boring that I can't even remember a melody or a lyric from it

Was a huge fan in hs, everyone of my music friends hated them. Stopped listening after the album after skeletal lamping. Kevin Barnes strikes me as a creep. Keep meaning to watch that documentary from the hissing fauna tour where everyone supposedly talks about how much he's changed and how much they hate him. If he'd tone it down just a bit I think I'd like them still. Were a very important band to me in my formative stages. Lots of melody and lots of chords and unique instrumentation back in the day. Big fan of coquelicot asleep in the poppies, satanic panic, gay parade, hissing fauna a little less, a lot of skeletal lamping. Love hearing that e6 thought they were small fries. Kevin Barnes contributions to the major organ and the adding machine album were really good. I wish he'd just collab with whoever the fuck he could instead of just holing up and making everyone around him angry.
