The Search Party - Montgomery Chapel (1969)
>folk rock, christian rock

Sounds about like what you'd expect a late-60s psychedelic christian folk rock album to sound like. Totally, completely, utterly cheesy. Has a lot of really nice, more delicate moments with some impeccable guitar work nearly reminiscent of Astral Weeks-era Van Morrison, but it also tries it's hand at some more prog-influenced songwriting and technicality, and the band isn't nearly as good at this. This is when the cheesiness really comes into play, it's like a more psychedelic Moody Blues with a truly odious keyboard tone and some lyrics about Jesus. It's really quite alright, but it's so damn unsubtle and over-the-top that really only the more delicate, pastoral moments make it out unscathed.

>Ween – Pure Guava

I would argue one of the least subtle albums ever. By design, unpleasing and taboo-attacking, and something that feels crafted just for me. I honestly really have a thing for albums that defy convention by using those same influences. This may seem like a broad descriptor, but it would explain why I get so much love from Magnetic Fields, Zappa (probably one of the few comparisons to Ween that actually makes a lick of sense), and TMBG (a band people incorrectly draw parallels to between Ween). None of which really have much in common with that one element. It shows a passion and genuine love from what you’re lampooning, which is something I totally admire.

I bet most people would get at least SOMETHING out of tracks like Sarah, Don’t Get 2 Close, and, of course, Push th’ Little Daises. All of which show Ween probably find more beauty in what they defy than they maybe pretend they do. I think there’s a lot of great shit here missed in what some people call the “bad” tracks here. I Play it Off Legit Show demonstrates a lot of that killer humor I really have yet to tire of: “My mom bought me a cool shirt/When I wear it I’m legit”. Apparently Deaner and Gener were off Scotchgard for the recording of this, but this track and the more special, emotional tracks give that awesome feeling of losing your bearings similar to that found on The Pod. Ace. Another example of these “missed” good moments are found on the longest track of the album (unfortunately, for most it would seem): Mourning Glory. For real one of the best tracks on here but it’s like nothing Ween’s really ventured into otherwise, so I could see why it’s unappealing to most.

REALLY basic, surface level psychology. That test in particular was just on memory and language, broadly. I have a B+ in that class, which honestly is really pathetic for me, considering how easy the material is.

>>71599286

I could go off reviewing what elements I like and dislike about every track, but the reason I’m writing this review is to see if I think it’s perfect, just as good as I thought, or worse. After sitting on this one for a few weeks, I think it’s fair to say it’s AMAZING, but not quite perfect. Specifically, Flies on my Dick and Loving U Thru it All are the only two tracks I find myself skipping constantly. There’s just not that much there for me with those two. They’re fine, but have no specific elements I could really praise in comparison to everything else.

This gets an O for still great, but not a 10. Wouldn’t really recommend to anyone not a huge Ween fan already. And even that is a pretty broad, unfair group that might not get out of this exactly what I do.

What should be next? I’ll probably just be doing at a slow pace I feel appropriate, but I would love to hear some feedback.

Stella Luna - Stargazer (2002)
>shoegaze, dream pop

Yep, this is certainly a shoegaze EP. It does little to offend but it does very little to engage either. I'm a big fan of its focus on the spacier textures of shoegaze, coming off like a nice mixture of Souvlaki and Lazer Guided Melodies (both albums I love in styles I'm not huge on), but Stella Luna's approach to this style isn't nearly as engaging and innovative as what was presented on these two albums. It meanders along without ever really giving the listener anything to truly latch onto. That is, until the last track, which is the EP's finest and one of the more intriguing shoegaze tracks I've heard. Its influence from space rock and post-rock adds dynamic to the band's sound that doesn't exist on the first three tracks, and it's so much damn better than these tracks that it's almost a tease. Enjoyable little EP, but a bit of a slog and the last track really overshadows everything else.

2.5-

King Crimson - Larks' Tongues in Aspic (1973)
>progressive rock, art rock

Another fine album from Fripp and co. The late John Wetton takes on the coveted vocalist/bassist role here, a role he'd continue on Red, my favorite KC album, and he does a damn fine job. His presence seems to kick the band into heavy metal overdrive (funny, considering his stuff with Asia), and that's no exception here, this is probably the band's heaviest release. That's not to say that it all sounds like metal (although both parts of the title track are proto-metal at its finest), the band's experiments with free improv and the more chaotic ends of free jazz are brutal, and they compliment the more traditionally heavy tracks well. Not huge on "Book of Saturday", the album's shortest track, or "The Talking Drum", which has some weird, goofy sound effects that clash horribly with everything else on the record, but I like this a lot.

3.0+

Stuff that would be hard for people that have spent less than two minutes with the subject, maybe. I don't know many other people in that class so idk how the class is doing as a whole, but stuff seems pretty obvious to me.

>>71599356
Seeing if favorites I've accumulated while doing /daily/ (or, in a couple cases, just before) are 10/10, just as good as I thought they were when I heard them, or worse than I originally thought.

I haven't given any album on /daily/ a 10 yet, so I thought spending whole weeks/months with albums I consider favorites would help.

>>71599433
haven't listened to much KC in a while, have the urge to now.

>>71599304

I listened to that Tuxedomoon album today, it's good stuff. The vocals were kind of bland but the sax and violin coupled with some minimal wave esque synth made a really cool atmosphere.

You should listen to Kazma Kazma soon, you'll probably like it

>>71599433
yeah, a bridge to nowhere is a fantastic song. i'm just a sucker for space-gaze

>>71599450
Sounds like a pretty good class, and surface level only in that it doesn't really require any prerequisite knowledge. I dunno how in depth you studied each of those headlines, but it covers most of what we learned in cognition class, and a bit more (language stuff we went over in developmental psychology for some reason).

>>71599433
>Not huge on "Book of Saturday"
It gets a lot better when you dive into how incredible the guitar performance is on it. It's basically jsut a very subtly done Fripp guitar wank track.

>>71599433

If you like Wetton era KC, the Great Deceiver live box is mandatory listening. And if you like Belew, Absent Lovers is also amazing, it's basically the definitive live takes of their New Wave era.

>>71599304
Karma is not a 10 you frick. But you do have 3 of my 10's in there so I'm kind of in a pickle about shitting on your taste. Do those next and bump them to like a 6 or something please.

>>71599462
Yeah, out of the ones I've been revisiting, Tuxedomoon and Satie seem the most likely to get a 10.

Tuco hates Desire with a passion for some reason, so I'm considering giving it a 10 for no reason other than to piss him off.

>>71599504
Yeah I enjoy it so far. I'm probably doing well for no reason other than I really enjoy reading into the material.

>>71599549
>I'm probably doing well for no reason other than I really enjoy reading into the material.
This is the best reason possible. Are you taking more psychology classes or was this a one off?

>>71599548
Idk why jazzlords hate Karma so much now. I know he a lot of ideas from A Love Supreme, but wouldn't music be better if everyone did this?

And no one knows if it's gonna be a 10 yet. Not even I :{}

>>71599563
I'm taking a full year. Pretty sure taking a year of entry-level science classes outside your major (could've also taken bio, chem, physics, etc.) is required for my degree, and I would guess in most colleges in US. Probably gonna just finish out this year of classes and then probably won't take many more. Will probably focus more on the programming/software development route.

>McCoy Tyner - The Real McCoy

I suppose this was "good" jazz "objectively" in that it's straightforward and clearly played skillfully, but nothing here grabbed me. It seemed so standard and paint-by-numbers.
I liked the tenor sax and some of the piano interludes, but other than that it is pleasant, inoffensive background noise.
It falls short of the masterful organized chaos of tropical vibes that was Sama Layuca, which got me interested in him in the first place.

>Bull of Heaven - 351: Total Bliss

I don't know why I decided to check this one out, but I guess I wanted to see if this meme band was capable of actually making something engaging. Not really, as it turns out. This is essentially a band making a poor Earth impression. Nothing to see here.

>Blind Willie Nelson - The Complete Blind Willie Nelson

Yeah I'll probably get shit for my lukewarm reception of this record seeing as how pretty much everyone adores it for whatever reason, but I don't know what I'm missing. Don't get me wrong, his voice is absolutely incredible and his lyrical hooks are instantly memorable. He gets a solid score for that alone. But that's all this is. Call me ADD but I need a little more sonic variation to chew on. I also feel like I have to be in a specific, desolate mood to appreciate it. A tad to repetitive and draining on me, and I even listened to each disc with a break in between.

>>71599813
That comp is some of the most crushing, raw, emotional music ever recorded, but I wouldn't quite say it's for everyone dude. I would expect everyone to get SOMETHING from it, but not for everyone to love every song. After all, it is an hour and a half of more or less the same.

No matter how you feel, you can't not love Dark Was the Night or God Moves on the Water. Those are always the most memorable to me anyways.

>>71599787
I've thought about doing nursing for a while, idk if I'd risk it with all the sketchy shit happening with healthcare in the US though.

Deathspell Omega - Fas – Ite, maledicti, in ignem aeternum (2007)
>black metal

One of the more intriguing takes on black metal I've heard. It's not all good, mainly because the more aggressive tracks all kinda blend together, but it knows how to use dynamics and I love how avant-garde it gets at times. Every track sounds like it's nearly on the verge of falling apart but none of them ever do, it's controlled chaos at it's finest and I really dig it. The ambient tracks are a nice addition to the album as well. Definitely wanna look more into this band.

there will still be quite a few nursing jobs in the coming years, even with Trump doing his thing (weird how that turned out you retarded trump supporters) a lot of the nursing population is "graying" and going to retire soon so new and a lot of nursing jobs will open up. This is ofc not including how most hospitals are understaffed nursing wise atm. Sure was a bitch getting into nursing school tho, and now that I'm in there's more work than I ever imagined there would be, good thing my program is accelerated and I'll have a BSN in two years :D

TL DR: you become a nurse, there will be a job waiting

>>71599984
Glad you liked it to an extent. "A Chore for the Lost" is probably my favorite metal song period.

>>71599965
I think you're the one assuming too much dude. I was 100% joking.

I guess you're right though. I saw a lot of "Pharaoh Sanders is FAKE African and RIPPED Coltrane" in the past couple weeks so I guess I assumed it was common consensus. Still has a 3.99 (!!) from friends though so I guess disliking it that much is probably rare anyways.

And Jazzlord is a great descriptor don't deny it.

>>71600011

Very fun experimental psych record. Unfortunately, this threw alot at me and very little stuck.

>I Don't Remember Now / I Don't Want to Talk About It
A textbook example of minimal synth that utilizes it's limited synth palate well. Could have taken more risks, and the forced baritone vocals did't really fit.

>Under en sort sol
I wasn't too woo'ed by the melodies and song structure provided here, but fuck me does this album have a well realized and full sound. It also manages to pick up the slack on the second half, and provides a more palatable display of songwriting.

>>71600529
I doubt it was his intention and maybe aesthetic is the wrong word to use, but despite generally disliking singer/songwriter records, I liked how stripped bare his songs are, it pairs well with his dusty vocals and their emotional impact.
There is only a quiet guitar strumming in the background with occasional backing vocals and nothing else. It's cool to listen to it now where it seems post-apocalyptic though it came from the past.

satisfying pop conclusion /= to complex jazz song-writing

Just because there's a big "a-ha!" moment at the end doesn't mean it's complex. Well-written, arguably, but your terminology is just wrong.

The only slightly complex part about Long Season is the drum improvisation on the live version, which while Motegi's chops are pretty incredible, they're trumped by plenty jazz greats from half a century earlier like Art Blakey or Max Roach.

the first and last track on this are absolutely gorgeous. just like public strain this album sounded super empty. in a good way of course.

>Cap'n Jazz - Analphabetapolothology
im very familiar with the burritos, inspiration part of this album, but all the other tracks are just as great. this is probably emo at its most fun. it still plays with yr feels, but at least you can have fun with in the midst of it. every track is filled with energetic guitars, crisp drums, and screeching vocals and peculiar lyrics. plus, theres even a kick-ass cover of "take me on" and "winter wonderland" on here! if you can take the 100 minutes, this is very worth the listen.

>Little Kid - Logic Songs

Usually I'm really picky with indie shit, however I really liked this. It was very lo-fi, comfy, pretty, and sleepy; it felt like something you'd listen to during a rainy day. I loved the piano in it (which I wish there was more of), and the vocals were pretty good all around too.

4/5
>ၼၢင်းၼၢင်း [Nang Nang] - လက်ရေးစဉ် ဝေားများ (Le Ywei Sin Tei Mya)

I liked the whole psychedelic garage rock sound to it, the fuzziness of the guitars and everything was pretty great. However, I think the vocals need to grow on me, I wasn't a huge fan of them. At most, they added to the atmosphere. Also, most every track sounded the same, there weren't any that stuck out to me at all. Regardless, this was good.

[1/2]

Tomita - The Planets
>Progressive Electronic, Romanticism

The third installment of Tomita’s classical interpretations, I’d probably rank this right in the middle. Exhibition was alright, with a lot of clunky early synth work holding back some great moments. This is a little closer to Snowflakes in quality, with a lot of the floating, majestic synth work that I have come to expect. I think when this guy opts to use lighter sounding synths, as opposed to the old-school metallic stuff, it really benefits his music. I guess the space theme and composition probably helped here as well.

Not as consistent as I’d hoped but the standout moments ensured this was a pretty great listen.

3.5/5

Manuel Gottsching - E2-E4
>Progressive Electronic, Minimalism

This is about the fourth or fifth album I’ve reviewed heard in minimalism and I’m still not into it. The concept is cool - there’s pretty limited musical development over the course of the album, with the changes happening realllly slowly. It takes about 3 or 4 tracks for the music to change, as they’re essentially the same track for about 20+ minutes. Even when the guitars come in on those tracks, they’re the only real musical development that occurs over the first half of this album. The rest is still slow, with guitar riffs gradually changing over time.

I guess that’s a cool concept and it’s part of the point. And this style in the 80s in a more electronic element was definitely intriguing. But in the end, this isn’t a style of music that has clicked with me, despite a few tries. Good for the background while I was working on some writing though.

2/5

>>71604457

James Brown - Black Caesar
>Funk, Film Soundtrack

I’ve only heard a few of his big albums but I’ve yet to find anything disappointing. Probably because I’ve discovered his most popular albums but still, they’re all so damn quality. Basically every track is fantastic and even the weak stuff is at least enjoyable. I’m never quite sure how to judge soundtracks, especially for movies I’ve never heard but this is up there. The funk is real on here, with a nice mix of instrumentals, upbeat vocal cuts and more mellow interludes. Pretty much to be expected from this genre and era. Even when Brown sits back and lets someone take over the vocals (“Mama Feelgood”), the beats are so irresistible and funky. Man those squealing horns are the coolest.

Also - every time I listen to James Brown, I stumble upon a cool sample. I guess it’s bound to happen when you’re one of the most recorded, successful funk artists in history but still. It’s pretty astounding. “The Boss” is sampled pretty well in Nas’ “Get Down”, which is one of his best songs and probably the best use of a Brown sample I’ve found. The Brown song itself is really fun, with a nice horn line and some cool flutes but I can’t help but revisit the Nas track after hearing it. “The Boss” is probably the best track on Black Caesar though, it’s fantastic.

Anyway, this is great.

3.5/5

rapid fire

Julian Casablancas + The Voidz - Tyranny (2014)
>synth punk, neo-psychedelia

A welcome change for Casablancas, but far too derivative of the works that inspired it and definitely light in the songwriting department. The only real keepers from here are the singles, "Human Sadness" and "Where No Eagles Fly", and while these tracks are great, they're surrounded by some very light. fluffy tracks that favor a cool aesthetic over any real interesting songwriting, which makes the album feel incredibly bloated and bogged-down. It's alright but I'm not a big fan.

2.0+

フィッシュマンズ - 空中キャンプ (Kūchū Camp) (1996)
>dream pop

Probably the most effortlessly listenable of Fishmans output. It has absolutely no prog leanings at all, and while that may mean the compositions are a bit light, they're just so nice to listen to. Given that this was the first real dream pop album they put out after their years spent as a pure dub/reggae group, it's still got heavy shades of dub, and while they don't do pure dub as well as dream pop/neo-psychedelia, the dub influences on the dreamy tracks are great. This might be my favorite Fishmans release besides Otokotachi no Wakare, even over Long Season.

3.0

Candlemass - Epicus Doomicus Metallicus (1986)
>traditional doom metal

This is basically the shit. Totally overblown and melodramatic, occasionally to its own detriment, but appropriately doomy and just really fun. The vocalist is killer, he's like King Diamond but much heavier on the self-loathing than the nihilism, and the riffs are pretty much the best riffs ever put to record. If you like doom at all, you owe it to yourself to give this a listen.

3.0+

Funkadelic - One Nation Under a Groove
>P-Funk, Psychedelic Funk

How can you NOT like this album? Man, it has so much soul. Also, the more I listen, the more I’m convinced that George Clinton is one of the best musicians of the 70s. I mean, he has three other classics with Funkadelic, and at least two with Parliament from what I’ve heard so far. His brand of funk is so much better and more original than any of the others I’ve heard. It feels like a brilliant middle ground between heavier, rawer psychedelic funk and lighthearted disco.

From what I’ve read, this album is a reunion of Funkadelic, in the midst of a period when Clinton & co had shifted their focus more to the Parliament side of things. This feels like a slight change of pace, away from a rockier, cohesive Maggot Brain to a little more soul. The basslines are bouncier, the instrumentals are all over the place and psychedelic but the vocals and lyrics are a little more refined. The tracks are still a bit wonky though, with titles like “Groovallegiance” and “Lunchmeataphobia (Think, It Ain’t Legal Yet!)” dominating the listing.

Instrumentally, this is pretty damn impressive. It feels funky and surprisingly mellow, with these huge jam sessions orchestrated perfectly. On “Groovallegiance”, there’s a nice little jam toward the end, with synths, a Spanish sounding guitar and of course the magnificent damn bassline. It honestly sounds a lot like a chiller Santana cut, with a bit of a jazzy, jam-based flair. Even the rockier tracks like “Who Says A Funk Band Can’t Rock!” are fairly low-key, with the heaviest passages coming from the psychedelic guitar, which shines on some dope solos. It gets a bit too 70s rock for my tastes at times but as a whole, it’s an impressive showing from these guys. The closing instrumental is remarkable, it’s a shame something so impressive is labeled “PE Squad/ Doo Doo Chasers”. I guess that’s the downside to Clinton & co.

>>71605377
[2/2]

Overall, this is amazing. Seems like a great return to form for a band in the midst of a bit of a downturn. I think the biggest criticism of this album is that it’s cheesy or dated. I personally don’t find it very dated and the whole cheesy aspect is kind of whatever to me. It’s musically impressive and the positivity of this album and genre as a whole more than makes up for it.

4/5

>>71605713
I think it has a lot of quick, high-energy hits, raw emotion/passion, and every song has its own unique flair to it. I also have never seem to mind "whiny vocals" that's found in a lot of similar releases, but I could see why it'd be annoying to someone else.

Again not trying to change your mind or anything. After all, it's definitely not someone I could see more than half of the people on /daily/ enjoying at all, I'm just saying what I like about it.

i understand, especially given that my enjoyment of it is largely circumstantial (first listened last summer, splendid weather, other positive factors). i'm also a fan of some more noodly jazz stuff and trout mask replica, so uncle meat is right up my alley.

what do you think of other zappa relases? i've only heard freak out and was none too impressed.

>>71605794
yeah i see the appeal on a surface level but none of the hooks have really hit me. have you heard AC's ep "Fun"? better than their full-length work imo.

>>71605853
you ought to check out cap'n jazz indeed. took me a while to get into, but their lp with the ridiculous name is splendid. brave little abacus' vox are admittedly shaky (still love em), but they wrote some great shit. samples and synth work are a much needed break from the norm as well

>>71605872

>>71605927
Listened to a couple tracks from both bands. I really liked the keys on brave little abacus, those were a nice touch. The vocals are as I remember but don't bother me as much. I'm pleasantly surprised.

>>71605927
>ignorant virginian asking
slightly less ignorant Virginian responding
Pitt is a lot of screamo/hardcore crossover stuff as far as I can tell. A lot of my friends are in screamo/emo bands and they love going up to pittsburgh, motherfuckers will two-step to anything up there.

Idk too much about philly, it's a pretty wild scene from what I've heard.

I think VA has got more twinkly stuff than pennsylvania t b h

what part of VA you from btw?

>>71606030
glad you liked em. not sure what tracks you listened to, but imo definitely start with masked dancers album-wise

>>71606058
frederick county, home/birthplace or something of Patsy Cline and approximately no one else worth mentioning. will be relocating to fairfax come autumn for uni. what about you? supposing it has to be somewhere toward the north if your pals take frequent trips to pitt.

totally oblivious to the state's scene, what twinkly stuff do we have? i know we had city of caterpillar and pg99 get fairly big at the turn of the century, but that's more screamo/post-hardcore

>>71605927
Yeah, I'm not typically into too experimental stuff... though I occasionally find something I dig that's a bit out there. So it makes sense that Uncle Meat didn't resonate with me too much.

That's funny though, I love Freak Out, it's definitely one of my favorite albums at this point. Took some time to grow on me though, I hated it at first. Hot Rats is tight and We're in it for the Money was pretty okay in my book. That's the extent of my Zappa knowledge though

>>71605927
>i've only heard freak out and was none too impressed.
zappa has a HUGE variable discog. I would say try out Hot Rats for size given you didn't care for Freak Out, but I think it's important to realize how inventive Freak Out was for '66. Not that you NEED to like it or anything, but it was a concept album (one of if not THE first from the genre) a parody album (one of the first in rock, probably), a double album (the second ever), and had some of the first "progressive" music ever considering the influences and structure of the D-side songs.

Doesn't mean you HAVE to like it, but just giving some context on what I like about it.

>>71606136
aye we talkin Zappa tonight??

Yeah don't let UM turn you off from Zappa. He has so much good shit like hot rats like Waka/Jawaka, Sleep Dirt, Roxy & Elsewhere (best live album next to 98.12.28 for real). Would consider putting summa dat on your backlog man.

>>71606099
oh cool I'm actually from Fairfax, living down in Fredericksburg rn for school tho

>totally oblivious to the state's scene
my friends are really in the scene so I pick up a lot of stuff through osmosis
There's a lot of twinkly stuff coming out of the Norfolk area and Charlottsville. A lot of shoegaze/post-rock genre melding stuff as well.
the emo scene is pretty decentralized in VA but it's prolly as big as Richmond hardcore if you put it all together, it's just a lot of the bands are super unknown/little bandcamp outfits.

>we talkin Zappa tonight??

Definitely. I'm glad there's a big Zappa fan on here that can point me in the right direction because it feels like he has so much damn music out there. It seems a bit streaky so far too but that's probably because I'm not used to his style.

I'll definitely throw a few of his albums on my backlog if they're quality. Should I just check out those two/three if I dig Freak Out/Hot Rats? Like are they the closest in style?

Also

>New Mount Eerie also just came out today.

Christ, there's so much stuff I need to catch up on. Tempted to even check out the new Lupe even though he hasn't put out anything I've liked since The Cool

>>71606265
It's definitely worth at least a listen to hear Zappa do fusion. Obviously might not be your favorite if you don't normally like that style. But I think it's well done and I'm typically pretty 50/50 about fusion

>>71606323
yeahyeahyeah. Zappa's discog is super unapproachable intimidating. But I think he's made the most good music of any artist ever.

If you liked Freak Out I'd rec Absolutely Free or perhaps later Mothers stuff like Weasels Ripped My Flesh. Hell, every Mother's album except Crusin' With Ruben and the Jets is incredible imo.

If you want more Hot Rats I'd rec Waka/Jawaka (refered to as "Hot Rats 2" by many) and Sleep Dirt (referred to as, you guessed it, "Hot Rats 3" by many).

If you want more of the fusion/funk stuff that's not necessarily jazz-y and more rock based, I'd highly rec Roxy & Elsewhere (severely unchecked album with some of the best fusion music ever made) or perhaps Apostrophe.

Not everyone digs Zappa's "comedy" rock era, but I would say that might be searching out if you enjoy Roxy or Apostrophe.

So get more of a taste of Zappa's stuff to see where (or if) you should continue I'd rec these specifically:

>Absolutely Free
>Waka/Jawaka
>Roxy and Elsewhere

And based on what you like of those three I could guide you from there based on what aspects you like of each.

Zappa has 100+ studio albums, and about 20 of those are worth hearing for most people, so I don't think it would be worth wasting your time with EVERYTHING unless you REALLY love everything that's shown to you.

>>71606484
>unapproachable intimidating
meant unapproachable AND intimidating, but you could probably figure that out ;P

>>71606484
Sweet thanks for the help dude! I'll add those three along with Weasels Ripped My Flesh to my backlog.

Pretty enjoyable psych-influenced math rock. Not everything here works, and the lo-fi production detracts from a few songs, but there's at least one moment in each song that is absolutely beautiful. Good shit.

>Bob Dylan - Blood on the Tracks: New York Sessions

The story goes as follows: Bob Dylan gets married, later divorced, and then writes some heartbroken songs about it. Someone close to him tells him the album would have more commercial success if it were more upbeat and radio-friendly, so he re-records half of the tracks with a full band and leaves the original takes on the cutting room floor at the last moment.

This person close to him was onto something, as Blood on the Tracks turned out to be his best-selling album in years. There are some other details in the story, like the fact that the 70's so far had represented something like a slump for Dylan--especially compared to his consistent 60's output--and that this was a return to form lyrically and musically...but how much context does one really need? These New York Sessions--the earlier, "intended" versions of the songs--eventually surfaced and fans have since debated which version of Blood on the Tracks is the true version.

Blood on the Tracks is likely the most famous breakup album of all time, and the music reflects that on some level. I've always found the distinction somewhat befuddling because it's in a subtle way. He's not quite wailing or openly longing like Clapton on Layla & Other Assorted Love Songs or maybe Fleetwood Mac on Rumours; it's all a bit more clever than that. Instead, he spins tales about being a gambler and a carpenter and a fisherman--some mixed metaphors, mind you. It's no different than on earlier albums--he's still being obtuse through this act of playing these characters--but it's clear for that it's out of some necessity to maintain composure.

>>71610517
The most jarring difference in releases may be in the opener, "Tangled Up in Blue", surely the official release's most famous track, an upbeat folk rock number whose motives are...somewhat obscure. It's fun and easy to sing along with Dylan's yelled vocals, but is this the intention? The lyrics suggest it's a tragic-romantic epic, but maybe the delivery doesn't sound so blue. It stands in stark contrast to the original New York Sessions' version, which only uses bass to back up Dylan and his acoustic guitar. It's the more immediately relatable version and the heartbreak is clear. If you can imagine, the verses are a series of zig-zagged lines ("So I drifted down to New Orleans...") before the minor chord resolve of "But all the while I was alone..." through the chorus. It's this tension between grand romantic gestures and the harsh, lonely reality of love. I'll take it one step further and say the official version is from the perspective of the former while the New York Session's from the latter.

This same pattern applies to the rest of the songs that were altered. Everything here (see: pain) is stated plainly without any hint of irony. Also notable is the difference between "You're a Big Girl Now" versions. The New York Sessions' performance does away with any tongue-in-cheekiness that may have been communicated by the official release's deceptively smooth delivery.

File: IMG_1911.jpg (78KB, 500x598px) Image search: [Google]

78KB, 500x598px

>>71610530
"Idiot Wind" is an interesting case. The official version has an unmistakably apocalyptic tone and his rage here has reached a point of desparation, so he's rambling about anything and everything like a preacher until--again--the vulnerability takes over in the chorus ("I can't help it if I'm lucky"). There's no point in debating whether this song is about love or the music industry, as it's rumored to be about. The message is clear: that it's all boiled down together in rage before it's only his pain that prevails. This is all translated in the original version as well, but the performance here is more subdued. I don't quite have the theory knowledge to talk about it, but this song has always seemed to me to be about this ever-escalating series of minor and seventh chords that finally reaches its boiling point by the chorus.

It's no mystery why they went with the more radio-friendly sessions of Blood on the Tracks in the end. For one, it does indeed have more variety from track-to-track than the New York Sessions, which is almost entirely acoustic. It also maintains a comfortable distance from the heartbreak rather immerses us in it like the bare tracks here. That's the appeal of the New York Sessions--that there's no mistaking Dylan's message of love, heartbreak, and disappointment in this impossibly strong group of songs.

Livy Ekemezie - Friday Night (1983)
>disco, afro-synth, african private press

Overall not a fantastic or paradigm-shifting record. Has its moments, like "Get it Down", "Holiday Action" (as featured on Soundway's "Doing it in Lagos" compilation.), and "Classic Lover". The high points on this album are nowhere near the highs on my favorite afro-disco album, the fantastic "Only You" by Steve Monite, but damn does it get close. I'd give this 4 stars but the low points on this album, specifically "I Wan' My Bab' Back", are so spectacularly bad (and not in the "haha this reminds me of The Room" way), I can't stand them.

after listening to every basic channel ep and some of their side projects, i gotta say this sounds so fucking amazing. a lot of basic channel purists will get annoyed at how they might not be mixed in the best ways or that the grooves weren't as explored in this mix, but this is a kickass jam if you're into dubby techno stuff. it would probably be even better if it were more long-form, because at times it really does just feel like small snippets of BC tracks played one after the other, but since i'm not that into them i usually can't notice that well.

I like how he took audience questions and seemed more open and honest about himself than other candidates, but I guess that's easy when you're not a politician. Didn't get to ask a question unfortunately because a couple monologuers decided to tell their life's story.
Funny how he related every question to his goal of 3% GDP growth though.
"How do you feel about the reduced veterans pensions?"
We can't afford it because we don't have 3% GDP growth.
"What are your positions on helping indigenous people?"
Everyone will benefit from 3% GDP growth.

SHIT

>Ry Cooder & V.M. Bhatt - A Meeting by the River
Don't know how easy it is to put the feelings this gave me into words easily. It's like...what people who really like "New Age" music describe the feelings that occur when they listen to New Age music, ya know? The drumming + reverb here are definitely consequences of that era, but man, the combination of the sitar-sounding "mohan vina" and bluesy bottleneck guitar are a match made in heaven so far. This album lasts less than 40 minutes, but it zooms by so fast I swear. Loved this.
8

>Jackie-O Motherfucker - Fig. 5
Really fantastic stuff. Reminds me of post-rockier elements for no other reason than length and crescendo-core-structure, but using those elements along with it's free folk/improv tendencies is a real winner for me. Any track here longer than 7 minutes was an awesome listening experience imo.
8

>Animal Collective - Water Curses
I really need to revisit these less-than-well-known AnCo albums, because something tells me I'd probably enjoy them more now. The opening track is probably one of my favorites by them from this era, and every subsequent track was worse, but only the last one was less than okay.
7

>A$AP Rocky - LiveLoveA$AP
I doubt many here would get anything about this, but if anything else, the production here is really fantastic. The chopped n' screwed + southern influences on here also a huge plus for me. If you can't stand modern rap production methods or value lyrics highly in rap, this probably isn't your thing, as Rocky doesn't makes it apparent he doesn't give a fuck (for better or for worse). Every fantastic track here is coupled with another huge stinker (ex Brand New Guy is to Acid Drip as Peso is to Get Lit).

When these guys go completely off the wall I dig the shit out of it, but I found it to be a much rarer occourance here than earlier, sadly. It makes me interested enough to hear what else they have to say, but also unsure how much I'll care for it. This is the worst TFUL282 album I've heard thusfar, and it still has some killer moments.

OH GEE AN AMBIENT/IMPROV ALBUM THAT'S ALL (untitled) WOW.

For real though I really enjoyed it's soothing, almost uncanny atmosphere, but I just didn't get lost in it. Was a bit too minimal and seemingly untextured unlike what I usually dig in this style of music.

>Sly and The Family Stone - Stand!
A lot of awesome funk/psych elements here, and a lot more fun, catchy songwriting. The opener, "I Want to Take You Higher", and "Everyday People" in particular were great. Everything else kinda stinks though, the really mediocre "Sex Machine" clocks in at an unfortunate 13 1/2 minutes. I enjoyed this more than There's A Riot, and I KNOW these guys have a lot of good songwriting in them, but their albums have been super wishy-washy in quality so far.

>Gil Scott-Heron - Small Talk at 125th and Lenox
Who'll Pay Reparations on My Soul? and The Revolution Will Not Be Televised are, of course, fantastic pieces by themselves. But there's a lot of stuff here that has 100% less wit and flow/structure. I wanna try this guy's studio stuff for sure, but a lot of what's on here is super whack, especially "The Subject Was Faggots" holy hell.

>Lowlife - Permanent Sleep
Post-punk and Dream Pop only work if you have Elizabeth Fraser's voice, but this is probably the best it could be otherwise.

>Area - Arbeit macht frei
Another Avant-Prog album that is sure impressive technically, but nothing that particularly strikes me. The track ratings go down as the track ratings go on, and I don't really think that's because the tracks actually get worse continuously, but because you really get tired of these guys' technical shtick really fast.

>Destroyer - Streethawk: A Seduction
Of his work I've heard so far, his worst other than his 2016 release. "The Sublimation Hour" and "The Bad Arts" are very good tracks, but nearly everything else falls short in one way or the other. In the end, I think of this as just slightly-above-average orchestrated indie pop in the end.
5

>Jerry Garcia - Garcia
Deal and Sugaree are pretty good classic rock songs imo, but I just don't really dig Garcia's songwriting style, and I've never really dug GD's approach to blues/country-rock. I plan to hear Europe '72 sometime soon and then I don't really plan to explore GD-related stuff much more

>Bill Hicks - Rant in E-Minor
I have a hard time rating comedy albums, but it's pretty conclusive what a rating should be when it's unfunny. It's not 100% terrible, and maybe your dad would like this, but definitely not for me. The musical parts were okay I suppose.
3

>The Specials - Specials
The first track is almost okay and then everything else is worse. Some of the instrumental break-downs are cool, and I at least admire it for not being third wave ska.

Gonna be posting my 50 Song Memoir review later most likely. If yous got a problem with that you can kiss my a**!!!

What next?

>>71618573
All right, all right...you gotta do Eyehategod. You probably already know how you feel about sludge, but it doesn't get better than this.

>>71618423
I think Travis Morrison was for a period a really consistently good songwriter. Shame that p4k killed his career though.

I thought I'd hate E&I going back to it because I don't really value lyrics that much in music any more. I assumed that's all I grabbed onto when I was an impressionable teen and expected to be disappointed...but it has a lot of great shit on it. One of the best pop albums of the 90s imo.

>>71618572
have you not heard E & I man? Get on that.

>>71618559
Girl O'Clock is real good. As is practically everything else on that album. The Jitters is probably the only one I haven't ever really liked.

>>71618626
I don't even hate sludge though. I like Neurosis, Godflesh, and Boris' sludge stuff, plus I liked Mastodon a lot back in the day. I just have never cared for the Melvins that's all. I look forward to it!

>Confusion is Next - The Sonic Youth Story
Sonic Youth (at least the 80s version and the Jim O'Rourke version of Sonic Youth) is probably one of my favorite bands ever. They've influenced hundreds of important bands, blah blah blah. This book is pretty lame. The first seven chapters that cover the golden age of noise rock and the new york no wave scene (which features lots of cool interviews with Glenn Branca and Lydia Lunch! Worth checking out those first few chapters if you're a no wave junkie, all the big boys like DNA and James Chance are talked about here). Also getting to hear about their very first tours during the Confusion is Sex era and playing with pre-Filth Swans (AKA best Swans) was really great to read about, especially all the bits about the stupid shit Gira was into and would do on stage.

After that, the book takes a pretty big decline into obligatory circle jerking of the band. "Hey do you know (insert any indie rock / punk rock / early grunge band)? Guess what! They listened to Sonic Youth!" is probably repeated at least 20 times in the book. Black Flag, The Replacements, Nirvana, Mudhoney, Beastie Boys, Dinosaur Jr, the list goes on... "Dude big labels are bad, high-end electronic equipment is evil and will make your music uncreative, you have to use shitty four tracks and analog mixes to stray away from the norm!" Stuff like that just really pisses me off, it's so pointless and cliche. The only interesting thing worth reading about after the first seven chapters is Lee talking about different tunings and experimenting with cheap guitars, which kind of inspired me since I happen to be an owner of shitty guitars and want to make shitty music with them, so getting to learn all the tips and tricks, where to stick a drumstick in, what open tuning to use, really helps figure out those early sonic youth tracks.

1/2

>>71618677
oh yeah i have. gyroscope is probably my favorite track. really solid album. i'll probably like it a lot more when i hit college. i can already feel myself slowly transitioning into liking dream pop.

>>71618677
Actually, those are all good too. Ok, it doesn't get sludgier then.

Now I'm going to share two funny quotes from the end of the book:
"Now no one's fighting against the music that already exists--they're all wanting a piece of it. That's what's driven me away from clubs, away from live music, and away from alternative music. The only thing I listen to basically is rap--they're the only ones that are saying anything. When you get someone like 2-Pac, who is twenty two or twenty three and saying all these incredibly heavy social statements in a way that's fresh and seductive, evocative, and hard core--there's nothing like that in the white community. Spoiled white kids, who wants to hear about it"
-Lydia Lunch

"I can't ever really see us breaking up," says Ranaldo.

didjya know Gira took his daddy's money and roamed around Europe for a couple years then went back to NYC and started a band just cuz he could? Doesn't get more HARDCORE than that!!

Book seems interesting though. Might try and find a pdf of the first 7 chapters cuz I like that subject.

I wrote some reviews for the new albums, but 4chan hiccuped and it got lost.

You can only blame 4chan ONCE for deleting your review, then it's on you for being a dum dum and not doing it in notepad.

>The Gerogerigegege - Hell Driver

Decided to write a legit review
--
"____________ (1992)" is just field recordings of the sounds you'd hear at a Japanese fireworks festival. People laughing and walking around, and fireworks in the distance. It feels very detached though, as if you're to the side just observing. You start to feel feelings of loneliness and envy for the people who are enjoying themselves and others. This hit too close to home, and it hurt. Who would've thought a track that is nothing more than a microphone in the middle of a festival would be so emotional?

"Hell Driver (1994)" consists of melancholic free improv piano playing, the notes sometimes sounding like they're coming from a different room or behind some wall. This is accompanied by a quiet wall of white noise. It's all lo-fi, and honestly it's very peaceful, but also quite haunting.

>>71620201
[2/2]

"Moonlight & His Loser Knife (1996)" is a track of a high pitch drone oscillating, with background noises happening, such as objects being moved/ dropped and coughing. Probably the most anxious track on here. It's good, but if it was my choice I'd prefer if this track followed the lonely dark ambient theme, instead of the anxious EAI sound that it has.

"Pray Silently ~ Play for Late Mr. Hiroyuki Ohkura" starts off with two people talking to each other, which later turns into some weird improv with some guitar-like instrument. This was the weakest point on the album, solely because the audio on this only plays through one ear (yes, I checked, it's the song and not just my headphones or something). I honestly really don't like listening to something with only one side having noise; it hurts my ears and it's just uncomfortable to listen to physically. Shame too, because this track would probably be good if it weren't for that.

"Night Is Morning (1993)" is the last track, which consists of piano playing heard from inside of the piano (I think?). It's beautiful listening to all the movements and knocks.

Overall, another great album by Gero. However, in regards to their other dark ambient stuff, I prefer 燃えない灰 (Moenai Hai). Track 3 on here could've been different, and I just did not enjoy track 4 entirely. Regardless, Juntaro is a genius when it comes to creating isolating and heavy atmospheres, and you'll be sure to find that in this.

Needa hear that new Mt. Eerie. I doubt it'll be amazing, but will probably be the highest-rated 2017 album by far just out of context.

The highest rated album of this year is a prog metal album anyways. What a shitty year so far.

>Le Mystère des voix bulgares - volume 1
WOW

this may actually be some of the most beautiful music i've listened to in a while, no exaggerations. the compositions and harmonies are tight and filled with emotion, and the vocals are so pure and heavenly. this is an extremely ethereal and warm listen, i heavily recommend

4.0++/4.5-

god damn this was so good wow
