Spiderland is a masterpiece, without a doubt my favourite album
Tweez is a fun listen, first five tracks are all killer then it loses steam a bit
EP is great and the unreleased tracks are fantastic even in an unfinished state
Overall a top-tier band

2 notes and whispering.

>>72247870
My music taste only comprises of /mu/core too hey friend!

Fuck slint.

If you don't like them you're a massive pleb

>>72247870
They formed near where I live.

They're also literally the only good band from Kentucky, I checked.

>>72247870
just kinda quiet.. lyrics are great when i can hear them

>>72248426
....meaning you are still live at home and have never kissed a girl...right? Fuck slint.

>>72248389
this. i get that spiderland is /mu/core and was discussed to death a while ago here but i do love this band

I've never actually heard a single valid criticism from people who supposedly have listened to and dislike the album other than "I didn't enjoy it"

>>72247895
i showed my girlfriend slint and she did not like. I also showed her GY!BE (actually good) and Swans (just for shits because I don't even love them yet) and she said gybe made her anxious and she hated swans (not a bad opinion though). Anyways i guess its still beyonce and la la land when she picks the music. She likes jazz and indie music fine enough when i play music though. No idea why i typed all this who else has a not /mu/ gf

Steve Albini is still crying to this day that he didn't get to record it.

>>72248562
thank god he didn't though. Tweez would be far better without him. Not that I dislike Steve but Slint really was better off without him

>>72248551
Why is it you need a six paragraph explanation as to why people don't like this pile of meme shit? I don't need to be a chef to know when something tastes like shit. How hard is that to understand?

>>72248553
>GY!BE (actually good)
People tuning their instruments for 12 minutes followed by SKREEEE isn't particularly more or less interesting than some guy mumbling over a couple of notes.

>>72248592
Remember that Steve doesn't say no to what the bands want. Therefore it was Slint's fault that Tweez sounded like shit. Steve just hits record when they're ready.

holy fuck imagine being this mad, maybe I would be too if I knew I was a brainlet

>>72248699
Is that the best you got? Mad? Ha!

>>72248699
You sound a lot more mad since you can't take a couple negative comments about a band you like

>>72248699
>haha u mad bro? lelelel

I like slint but it's really difficult to get others into them. In my experience I don't even think I even paid attention to most of the lyrics when I first heard it because of the way it was mixed. You have to listen to this album in a very specific environment (probably with headphones) otherwise something gets lost. When I play music for my friends, they don't listen that way, and usually end up just talking over the music because they don't want to listen that closely.

>>72248638
Watch Breadcrumb Trail. Steve definitely influenced the band and even the bassist didn't like how it sounded and left. I won't exempt the band from some blame tho.

Good Morning Captain is a good track

>3/4 of them replied
What did they mean by this?

Anti-Slintposters are brigading any thread related to Slint and harassing users who enjoy their music. When questioned as to why they dislike their music, they reply something along the lines of "it's /mu/core and therefore bad" or "shut up virgin". Clearly they are too stupid to appreciate Slint's complexity and probably listen to Animal Collective, Fleet Foxes, Frankie Cosmos, or whatever dull teenagers listen to these days.

more like Stink

holy fuck imagine being this mad, maybe I would be too if I knew I was a brainlet

Holy fuck, you mad! You really mad! Imagine being that mad. Just imagine it. Go ahead. Imagine it. Brainlet.

>>72248925
lmao imagine ACTUALLY being THIS mad

>>72248980
Brainlet. You forgot that part.

Explain why Slint is bad, I guarantee none of you play an instrument (or at best play shoegaze)

>>72249043
I do play an instrument. Guitar. Over 20 years. No shoegaze. Try me, brainlet.

>>72249112
Then enlighten me with your genius criticism, then

>>72249132
Fuck slint, brainlet. That suffice? I can no more convince you they suck than you can convince me they are great. Imagine that.

>>72248553
yeesh, must be difficult. one of my gf's favorite albums was loveless before i met her (so i knew she was no normie), and she absolutely adored spiderland from the first time i showed it to her.

honest question, no offense intended, but is it difficult being in a relationship with someone whose taste it outrageously normie? i've always searched for someone with taste close to mine, since music is quite literally the only thing i talk about.

>>72249043
Remember when you called out other people for being mad? Kek

Initially Spiderland sold only 1000 copies, but everyone who bought one of those copies went on to become a school shooter.

Loveless is a normie album, dumbfuck. Go to Loveless' shoutbox: most people posting in there listen to shit like Beyoncé and the Beach Boys.

Anyone have the Spiderland box set?

>>72249329
would sell my soul for it

>>72247870
Best band from my State.

>>72249322
You mad.

>>72249259
I never told you to convince me it was a bad album, I simply would like to know what makes it so horrible in your opinion

>>72249356
Emarosa would like a word with you.

>>72248600
So basically you're saying you're not a musician and have no idea how to make music?

It's one of the only /mu/core albums that lives up to the hype. The other being Loveless.

>>72249327
This. My mother listens to MBV.

If you don't know patrician bands that an average music listener would like, you're not a real patrician.

I mean seriously, you actually get an extra advantage with your girlfriend, as opposed to a random friend who asks for music recs. Since they have feelings for you, they'll associate the music you show them with these feelings.

The only thing is you have to make an effort to get into the music they like too. That's pretty easy, but some people have such a stick up their ass that they have trouble doing so.

>>72249469
your mother wasn't a normie last night in bed

>>72249419
Emerosa were much better as Corsets Are Cages before they got rid of the best guys in the band and left KY. As soon as Jonny Craig was in the band it was over for them.

/mu/ needs to stop thinking about Slint. It's practically a daily for one album.

>>72247870
I'm listening to Spiderland for the first time right now.
It's good.

>>72249505
Emarosa* whatever.

>>72249572
see you in tomorrow's thread about it

>>72249427
No. I am saying I can simply not like something because I don't like it. Convince me they are good musicians. Go ahead.

>>72248161
marry her

>>72249595
Oh, I'll be there.

>>72248242
Your eye will then have a slight glint
But it will only be a short stint

>>72249607
Not sure how to convince a non-musician

>>72249781
Depends on what your definition of a musician is. Are you a musician?

>>72247870
Spiderland is amazing, Tweez I listened to once and haven't since. I listened to their other work like Todd's Song, and it seems they were taking cues from Rodan. The EP is amazing in its own way.

>>72249781
Good morning captain is literally beginner level guitar wise. I can play circles around David Pajo. Guarantee it. Not mad.

>>72249917
But do you like it?

>>72248161
>>72247895
>>72248553
girls aren't allowed to like slint

I gave it a fair shot but couldn't get into it. Not the worst thing I've ever heard but I have to disagree with everyone saying it's a classic.

6/10 imo

>>72248553
>hated swans

are you aware that you're dating a complete roastie

I'd like to see you play Nosferatu Man with the same laser precision he does

There's a girl in my server who thinks she's patrician for listening to Slint and My Bloody Valentine, she gets annoying.

I am inclined to agree, and take pride that my state bore such a great band. That said, their is a few good folk bands from apalachia, including kentucky. the mood of spiderland matches the autumn atmosphere in northern kentucky/lower indiana perfectly; driving down a long and barren road surrounded by the orange leaves swirling in the wind. listening to the album while sitting next to the quarry on the cover is a bucket list item of mine, that quarry is only an hours drive away from me.
