ITT: albums people pretend to like

>>71895840
How can anyone not like this

All you are going to want to do is there, Libet's delay, and Camaraderie at arms length, and The sublime is disappointingly elusive are all great tracks.

>>71895929
What's the point of listening to it when I could get the exact same experience by carving a locked groove in an old jazz record so I can listen to the same bar or two on repeat for 45 minutes?

Keep telling yourself that.

Literally all of them. People just want to look like they enjoy music in order to seem hip and cool. It's the worst artform. 99% is meaningless horseshit trying to appeal to the lowest forms of life. All music fans are either basic bitches or faggots trying to be unique. It's disgusting. It's just compilations of sound being played simultaneously, nothing artistic or meaningful about it.

TO PIMP A BUTTERFLY

Painting With.

Without the goodwill AnCo has earned through the years, people wouldn't have paid any attention to that trash.

>>71895874

Oh come on, that one's got a nice build up to it. A lot of interesting atmospheric rhythms, too.

this is retarded, even if there are people that pretend to like stuff for brownie points it still has potential to be enjoyed
also nobody is explaining why or how in any way

>carving a locked groove in an old jazz record so I can listen to the same bar or two on repeat for 45 minutes

sounds great desu. hypnotic. sign me up.

>>71895998
Because you don't have those specific jazz records and this way you don't have to scar your records because some guy already did.

I already did that with an exotica record anyway.

>>71896007
... Anthony?

99% of the time, Buyer's Market. Now I can understand appreciating it for what it is, but genuinely liking it like a regular album is pretty tough to believe.

And 100% of the time, Blind Date. There are definitely better recordings of a guy fucking a corpse. It is only barely a thing because of context.

still unironically more anjoyable than death grips, grimes, noise music, "neil cicierega", and lot of shit /mu/ pretends to like

>>71896075
nah the caretaker is great. Libets delay puts me in a trance every time I listen to it.

At least listen to Steve Reich or Can or something, anything that actually has some kind of musical development and where each piece isn't practically indistinguishable from one another.

/mu/ in a nutshell

>>71896209
what's blind date, anon?

>>71896118
its nothing special but its about as uneventful as CHz and the worse stuff on MPP like lion in a coma

>>71897363
CHz has New Town Burnout, Applesauce, and Pulleys. Already head and shoulders above anything on PW except for On Delay.

>>71895840
It's actually the only jazz album I like

>>71895998
I think you've missed the point of the album, bossman

This album might have a case of emperors new clothes - people say it's good because they want to be hip but it seems like lot of low-fi crap to me.

>>71897778
The point is that you need to have alzheimer's to enjoy it, because when you forget everything two seconds after you've heard it you don't realise it's just the exact same thing repeated, right?

People who don't get this album are just ignorant of the rock and roll scene at the time and don't appreciate the effect le banana album had on the genre. You don't have to like every song (I myself dont care much for Nico's shit on it) but fuck you if Sunday morning and Heroin aren't 2 of the finest songs of the 60s.

All death grips. I'm convinced people only appreciate it in a meta sense. It sounds like complete garbage 100% of the time.

>>71897947
Heroin is a garbage song

>>71897947
Fuck right back at you little hipster. Just because you regurgitate lines fed to you by aging rock magazine critics doesn't make your weak shit any better.

Glad to help :)

>>71900410
It's amazing, jazz riffs in folk music with great drumming, good guitar work and fucked up singing styles
only bad song is moulin rouge
also some of the song structures feel like proto-no-wave glenn branca kinda shit - with the minor / major shifts
the amount of ideas packed into this album is insane - and it's not even pretentious, the whole albums just about fucking
>>71900427
probably if you use scaruffis values but for enjoyment i prefer starsailor
>>71900434
its beautiful but if I want something harder I gotta go to starsailor

Leyland Kirby is an absolute hack.

He's like a trash Wolfgang Voigt who takes Voigt's pretentiousness a step further by trying to create a worldview in his garbage music.

>>71903543
but it sounds nice....

>>71903645
It literally doesn't. Maybe it sounds nice if you like nursing home pop standards from before your parents were born, I certainly don't and I hope my grandchildren in 2087 don't grow up to slow down the same 4 bars of a forgotten Kiiara track over and over for 12 minutes.

>>71903851
This is close to 10/10. Listen to it again.

>>71903851
I listened to it 3 times out of fascination for how something could be so nondescript

Apparently this is what used to impress people

>>71899384
what the fuck man

>>71897209
That's a very catchy album though. It's almost the stadium rock version of post-punk.

>>71895840

>>71895859
was just listening to this
some nice shits on it
>>71896007
agree
>>71901427
what do you mean

>>71897826
no, this album is legitimately great.

>>71901427
there are many albums I can understand disliking, but I literally cannot fathom disliking loveless. it's such an incredibly unique sounding album

>>71904090
It sounds cool, it just... it feels so fucking long...

>>71903951
It only sounds "nondescript" to you because their influence has trickled down through pretty much every single indie/alt rock band since. There was nothing else like this album at the time and nothing has approached it since.

>>71904197
I think that means it aged badly

>>71904291
The music on it hasn't changed though, I'm saying your perception is flawed.

You sure are a bunch of worthless fuckfaces today.

I mean more so than usually.

>>71895840
yeah no... fuck you

>>71904090
okay... now I'm fucking pissed off... are you for srs?

isn't that enough to go on?
I absolutely fell in love from the first track (and mind you... it's a REALLY good first track) the first time I heard it. but don't forget, this isn't the only thing Cardiacs ever did...

there's more... a good intro album in my mind would be Songs For Ships And Irons ('Big Ships' for example, is one of my favorite songs of all time)... and the rest of them as well... oh my...

>>71904440
this is embarassing...

>>71904451
Cardiacs actually are awesome and you should absolutely check out some more of their stuff

>>71904440
I'll check it out

>>71903938
I've given it several honestly, found it just so boring. I'm sure I'll give it another go at some point.

Honestly, what's so awesome about it?

>>71903851
Sonic Youth is kinda like Swans. Their most celebrated era is my least favorite, but a lot of their other stuff kicks ass. Bad Moon Rising, Washing Machine, and Goo are my favorites.

>>71904512
I'll fanboy Cardiacs till the day I die!

>>71904689
Bad Moon Rising is their most interesting album imo

Then again I liked their 9/11 album that got a .5 on Pitchfork or whatever so what do I know

>>71904623
It's maybe better appreciated in the context of their discography, since this was the album where they perfectly struck the balance between the chaotic noise rock/No Wave of their early albums and the more straightforward alt rock style they'd later move towards. They had already attempted this with Sister, but DDN executes it far more effectively in my opinion, aiming for a more abstract songwriting method wherein they would improvise lengthy jams and edit them down later in the studio, à la Czukay.

Disregarding context, the individual merits of this album are its stellar songwriting with complex, expressive harmonies, intricate counterpoint and noticeable influence from Krautrock, modal jazz and classical minimalism; pioneering use of the electric guitar as a soundsculpting tool and not merely as a vehicle for chords and melodies; and finally a penetrating, almost apocalyptic atmosphere of angst and alienation surrounding city life.

>>71904689
My favourite SY albums are everything they released in the 80s. Never really cared for anything after Daydream Nation.
