Woolite's taste is MMMMMMM

>A Winged Victory for the Sullen - Self titled
>Ambient

Nils Frahm, a wonderful minimalist pianist. Peter Broderick, on violin with a large discography behind him. Dustin O'Halloran, a composer of film and open space. Adam Braynbaum Wiltzie, one half of Stars of the Lid. Amongst many others, impressionist pieces grab like foam from the sea, teetering on the line between ambient and modern classical. There are no overwhelming electronic effects coming into play, or little disturbances to constantly rouse the ear. Each track has its say, and quietly steps out of the way for the next.

I've mentioned before, how the line between background music and attentive listening for a listener is very hard to find in a great ambient album. Another great thing about ambient albums is the listening aspect for its audience. This could be a memory of another person, the crushing defeat of having to turn and go home, or a bunch of sad sounding chords that couldn't possibly make you feel any better.

An obvious criticism for this album is that it's basically film music without a film. And that'd be correct-- but think about the purpose of a film soundtrack. To paint the mood of a scene, to set off a mind signal that "this is what is occuring right now."

Some ambient albums do paint with the cover art, the track titles, an envisioned idea by the artist: I think the strength of this album is it's ability to mean something not so easily expressed by words, and it does that by being beyond a few notes.

>Apollo Brown - Clouds
>Instrumental Hip Hop, comfy-core

Smooth as butter, and much better than my first real listenthrough of an instrumental hip hop (tomppabeats - Harbor). These tracks have much more substance to them, as well as some exceptional sampling of actual instruments instead of just looped voices.

There's honestly too much ground to cover with all the tracks, yet somehow it manages to end at 50 minutes in length. This is something that you can listen to in one go or in small pieces.

Not one bad moment, but even after 20 tracks of warm beats, it does get a little stale. The replayability is a major plus to counteract that.

8/10


>New Order - Low-Life
>Synthpop, New Wave

Picks up something that Abba set down with their last studio album. The 80's keyboard really cheese it up, but the album still delivers very consistent pop tunes while (sort of) holding up today. Bernard Summer' vocals have a good amount of charm, because he doesn't try to sound perfect. That doesn't always work-- the chorus of Face Up was leaning more towards punk.

Maybe listen to Cut Copy - Zonoscope if you like this album.

Sorry if I ruin this thread with my wall of text. I already ruined these threads beyond repair though so who cares I guess:

>Freddie Hubbard - Straight Life
I fuck with this so hard. “Red Clay” has to be one of my favorite jazz albums from this era. Unfortunately, it’s unavoidably top heavy, and the first track is no doubt outshines the rest easily. If you could say that album, “Sing Me A Song of Songmy” and this release were related, they would easily be one of the best trilogies in music. The performances are top fucking notch, and this release in particular is amazingly consistent and smooth in quality. It’s one of those pure-feeling fusion albums that are so rare. It’s not overt in it’s of-the-time-ness and not tied to roots or convention. It’s a perfect…fusion…for lack of a better word. Loved this.
9

>Solid Space - Space Museum
Yeah okay I fucks with it. Skeletal shit that’s basically all you need for a good album. It’s nothing surprising or jarring, it’s just nearly everything I’m looking for. Looking forward to falling in love with this even more in the future, I just hope I can get over the sort of mediocre opener and closer.
9

>Archie Shepp - The Way Ahead
Yes. YES. I FUCK with it. After giving “Fire Music” a shot (and only enjoying so much of it) I was expecting something much more out there, similar to “Semper Malcom”. What I got instead was a fantastic experience of composed-feeling chaos. I’d really love a jazzlord here to tell me why exactly I’m wrong for liking this, because the only thing I didn’t really care for was sections of the Ellington cover, which I still thought was a great rendition of that piece. Everything else here really surprised me. Sure, for 68 maybe it’s nothing special, but the performances, the energy, the improvisation, and nearly everything else just resonated so hard for me. I’d consider this an unsung jazzsterpiece, but what the fuck do I know?

>Aldo Ciccolini / Gabriel Tacchino - Trois gymnopédies; etc.
Almost immedietly I liked this version of Satie’s gymnopedies more than the Reinbert de Leeuw version. I just think the slightly faster pace serves that particular piece better. Overall though, I would insist that this version is slightly inferior, but stil worthwhile if you want another great interpretation of Satie songs. Lord knows they’ve been done worse.
8

>Nicolas Jaar - Space Is Only Noise
Individually, there are very few stand-out tracks here (save maybe the s/t track) but all together, this forms something really beautiful. Rarely do I ever call an album a MUST as an album experience, but this one feels specifically engineered for that. Expertly crafted atmospher, maybe with a few bumps in the latter half.
8

>Gas - Narkopop
If we’re talking about pure highs and individual tracks, I would say this just fall short of Pop. However, this release as a whole I would say calls back to Gas’ older works, and frames them in a context that makes sense to me. If we’re talking purely on atmosphere and fluidity, this is for sure Gas’ best I’ve heard.
8

>Bauhaus - Mask
SUPER underrated. I know I should probably preface this with “as I guy that takes it in the ass for post-punk I…” but I really don’t see why this is so hated in comparison to “In the Flat Field”. Individually less stand-out songs maybe, but overall really tight. I can’t shake the feeling that this band is about to get a lot worse after this album though. I hope I’m wrong :/
8

>Glenn Gould – The Goldberg Variations
I would say this one doesn’t 100% flip the 81 version on its head completely like some insist, but it’s clear that this is the superior rendition of the pieces, even if only by a bit due to pacing. Still not entirely sold on these pieces, but they were done in a way that made much more sense to me here.

>The Thelonious Monk Quartet - Monk's Dream
Someone needs to rec me an album where Monk Just goes off the fucking walls. I know it’s might happen when I dig a little deeper into his discog, but here, I feel like I just got an okay jazz album with an eccentric front-man with insane ideas about melody. Pretty damn good, but you’d probably have to be much more into the Bop side of this genre to get much out of this. I'm waiting to hear an album of his that I love as much as "Brilliant Corners". If you think you have that hmu.
7

>ROME - Die Æsthetik der Herrschaftsfreiheit
ROME is a very special band to me. They somehow use this genre I can barely stand in a context that feels right to me. And even though I really enjoyed this album Perhaps there is some underlying thread that connects this bastard of an album, but I just don’t feel it. This is especially true when you closing disc is full with a buncha bullshit. Consistently, it’s the longest tracks on here that disappoint. Everything over 5 minutes always feels like a venture, and are guaranteed to be the least enjoyable tracks on any given disc. Lots to love, but little to hold on to.
7

>The Fall - This Nation's Saving Grace & Hex Enduction Hour
This side of artsy-overblown post-punk ain’t for me, but I can’t help but at least like it a little bit. That’s all I have to say other than “This Nation” was consistently okay while “Hex Enduction” was inconsistently great. I think prefer the latter though.
6 & 7, respectively.

>Tyrone Davis - Turn Back the Hands of Time
A quiet, unassuming soul album that’s at the same time very satisfying and well done. Instrumentally it’s consistently on-point, but I feel a lot of songs extremely similar to these have been done better elsewhere far before Davis. A nice album for what it is, but very little stuck out for me.

>>72457704

This image is so dated lol. Idc what anyone says old /mu/ was much worse.

>Today Is the Day - Willpower
Imo, TItD came into their own on the much more raw, chaotic, purposefully-feeling overblown “Sadness Will Prevail”. While this had bits and pieces of that, I 100% did not fuck with the more pretty-feeling, shoegazy tacks like “Simple Touch”. In fact, the last half is a bit of a mess imo, and not the brand of mess that I’ve come to love from these guys. A good album, albeit a bit top-heavy for me.
6

>James Holden - Balance 005
REALLY torn on this. On one hand, that opening track along with many other bits from the center (particularly the Nathan Fake transitions good GOD) blew my cock and balls off. I am a girl now hello and I am very cute. Gimmie a kiss. One the other half, there’s so much of this that’s just like, really bad early-2000s Eurobeat. Dude should’ve watched more Initial D. Also, disc 2 is a fucking joke. Maybe two total songs in that whole hour stood out to me. If you hear this, just listen to disc one.
5

>Windy & Carl - Consciousness
Balance has some good moments, but the real masterpiece is what feels like the centerpiece of the whole album, the s/t track. And while I like those two a lot, everything else here just feels slow and overblown a bit. Maybe if you’re someone into pop with a modern-feeling, loop-y ambience you might get into this more, but that’s not me.
5

>Lil Wayne - Tha Carter II
It’s perfectly clear to me now that Wayne totally deserves much less shit than he gets, but in no way do I think this is a particularly good album. It’s big, bloated, and brash, but only a handful of songs here really do it for me. It’s, thankfully, one of the last hip hop albums from the “skit” era, but there’s no fucking stupid-ass 10-minute outro skit either. Lots of decent or great stuff here, but too flawed to love.

>Monoton - Monotonprodukt 07
Naaaah. I liked a lot of this, but it honestly it pretty consistently missed the mark for me. The minimal songwriting just feels dull and repetitive. There’s some cool ideas thrown out here, but rarely anything that sticks or is, ya know, expanded on. I don’t really get how this is “ambient” also. Maybe because there’s pretty much nothing to it? I can see the appeal, but for sure not something I fuck with.
5

>Kid Koala - Your Mom's Favourite DJ
Like, okay, it’s better than “Some of My Best Friends Are DJs”, but this kind of turntablism just feel like a record-long skit. And not a very funny one either. I mad respect this guy’s work, but his solo stuff is pretty skippable.
4

>Dean Blunt - Black Metal
Blunt has a super interesting discog with almost nothing of value individually. There’s a couple of okay songs here, sure, but nothing that really excites or captivates me in any way. It feel like ironically-bad music. Which is, really, just bad music.

Pavement - Brinx Job

>>72462561
Yeah the track overall is pretty uncomfortable

The person telling the story switches a bit back and forth during the song but basically it's about a girl being sexually / physically abused by her dad, and her boyfriend plotting to kill the dad and cut him up and pieces (which he maybe does in the end?). Some people thinks it the other way around, that the boyfriend is abusive and the dad wants to kill him but that doesn't really fit in honestly

Being slow with music lately. Been reading like a mofo though and I want to share a book chart here but don't wanna offend anyone.

>Darkness on the Edge of Town

Overall, this album is a balance of competing forces. Stupid, fun, contemplative, serious. One thing I will grant is that this is at least listenable from front-to-back unlike any of his earlier work. Some of these tracks are just dumb as hell, but you get the feeling for the first time that it's ok because it's fun and moreover, self-aware. "Adam Raised a Cain" really is stupid to the point where you couldn't not write it and put it on your album. This aspect comes to a point on Born in the U.S.A. in my opinion. Mind you, this also generally accepted as big step forward as his first dark, truly serious album as a songwriter with something to say, i.e. his persona. And it's true, I'll grant him that. So, at its worst points it's at least listenable, and a couple of these songs are even great. "Racing in the Street" matches this longing feeling that permeates the album so well. It's truly touching in a way that came across as sappy in his earlier work. And then of course, the closing title track is one of his very best songs and it ties the album together so well--the lyrical themes, musical themes, it's also no surprise it feels like the true full band effort here.

>Too Big to Fail: The Inside Story of How Wall Street and Washington Fought to Save the Financial System from Crisis -- and Themselves

Really incredible journalistic work and to be able to portray something inherently dry like an Oceans Eleven kind of story is admirable. I'm only marginally interested in the stuff, but it's readable in a Michael Lewis way.

>Shattered: Inside Hillary Clinton's Doomed Campaign

Curiosity got the best of me, and this was such a page-turner! Honestly, it's pretty surface-level, but the little insight into what it was like working for these people was fascinating. Curious to see something like this for the Trump campaign (apparently Michael Lewis is working on that, in fact).

This was the poster child for liberals who wanted to understand working class sentimentality post-election, but that's just projection because this is really just some average redneck's memoir.

>Nicolas Collins - It Was a Dark and Stormy Night
Looks like Stema Tarynt isn't going to be the only album I've given an 11 anymore.

This album is a collection of 3 pieces, each its own part; one of them is broken up into 3 parts, which is the first piece of this album: Broken Light.
This involves a controllable broken cd player; to cause loops and glitches of pre-recorded orchestral performance, while the performers accompany it and it works together so well especially for the tension building of those looping tones. I love the really fast glitches at the start and end of each track.
Tobabo Fonio is made with this really weird electronic-infused trumpet setup, there was a video of it in action included with the download on the website but it was a gigabyte large taking up around 90% of the zip. It's a 1 min video, compress your shit. The song is really gritty and simple modulation in the first half but those tones just resonate so well with me, then he suddenly turns it into a growing glitchy beat and incorporates plenty of sample manipulation.

And then there's the fucking title track holy shit.
I haven't listened to this one again because on my first listen this song instantly became the best experience I've ever had listening to a song. I couldn't breathe properly; my mind was in awe. It took me 30 mins to calm down after I finished it and I don't know when I'll have it in me to listen to it again cause I have to treasure a moment like that. The song is a 27 min long epic, the main focus here is the narrator who reads a story made out of stories from various other books. "It was a dark and stormy night", and so on. The story ends up in a loop where a person asks another person to tell a story each time changing slightly, including the tones and attitudes of how the narrator portrays the characters to ridiculous levels. This was hilarious to me, even so when the few scentence loop suddenly turns into a really long and complex story about forgery... 1/?

I could maybe talk about this for hours, but "indie" was never so, and was really just the 2000s+ marketable version of "alternative" when that wasn't a cool word to use. From what I've seen, after 10s+ "Hipster" becomes the more marketable version of alternative/indie.

I would say "normies ruin everything" but it was bad to begin with.

http://www.strawpoll.me/12850561

I've basically included the albums people were iffy about in this. The top five will be put on the top of that chart.

Try not to vote on personal preference, and more so on what represents the current culture of /daily/. That is, what is most liked, discussed, or memed.

And try to vote for at least five albums.

>but, fish, why is album ____ on there?
Just don't vote for it then. I wanted to make the chart semestrical and nice-looking okay. Get offa my dick.

>>72465709
I soon figured out the whole concept of the song and it all started escalating from there. The narrator is speaking really fast at this point and is kinda hard to hear at times but it works so beautifully well with the chaos and jumbling instruments deteriorating and changing with each loop in a variety of different ways. To wait for the story passed on to start again as the music and instruments hold on their decay or loops for longer and longer waits is absolutely chilling. I won't share any more about how it continues but the details stack up with the story and I'd 100% need to see what I can find within them on my next listen. I would comment more on the music but I forgot a bunch of how it sounded and I'm only going to revisit it once I'm ready. The strongest emotional experience I've had from any song.

11-/11

>Ekkehard Ehlers - Plays John Cassavetes
This is good ambient stuff, the 2nd of the 2 tracks revolves more around a chamber approach while still fitting in with the first, more traditional track. Variety is great for releases like this.

7-/11

>Bill Orcutt - How the Thing Sings

Ok, what brings this down immensley is how it's been recorded/mixed. It's abrasive free-improv acoustic guitar with a blues flavour. The problem with it is it's so flat and muddy, where with this type of music the fun of it would to hear it echo against the walls and hear it in clarity while still having the distortion, just takes evry single ounce of fun out of it, that I imagine would of been there in the room that they recorded it in. The songs are kinda samey for most of the time to occasionally have the guy do some werird singing all under the same microphone, or it may slow down a bit.

3+/11

>>72466019
that's the 3 i listened too, what should i listen to next.

>meet someone irl who seems cool

>>72465958
btw I'll probably keep this open for a couple days so more people have a chance to participate.

>>72466019
Some people like the Cassavetes album less when they learn that the sample is a loop from a Beatles song, which is super shitty (and poseur). Interested to hear Swirlies and Baby Huey opinions.

>>72465958
If someone makes a convincing case for another album needing to be on there I'll add it in a 2nd poll, I just got no other recommendations.

>>72466078
Will be sure to listen to those albums next then.
I haven't even heard any Beatles albums but I wouldn't even care if I hated that song since anything can be transformative for the better.

>>72466259

>>72467245
I don't know if you could call it a side story because it is the narrative that frames Zampano's and the Navidson's narratives, I found it to be compelling but also found his narration to be obnoxious and arrogant at times

>Duke Ellington - New Orleans Suite

Pleasant enough, but a bit too tame compared to his other works.

~

>Hillary Hahn - Back: Violin Concertos

These are amazing, I love Hahn's playing almost always, because it's so clear. My favourite here was Concerto for Two Harpsichords etc., which you should all check out.

+

>Kendrick Lamar - DAMN.

I'm a sucker for good memerap and I think this is a very well done album. Glad he left behind the whole jazz/funk bs story, even though I felt it worked on a few tracks, this is just much better.

+

>Ray Brown - Jazz Cello

The cello worked moderately well, although I got annoyed by the picking sound sometimes. The main problem here was just the boring-ass compositions though.

~

>Mahavishnu Orchestra - The Inner Mounting Flame

I was really disappointed by this, because even though I don't like a whole lot of jazz-rock, I really enjoy McLaughin's guitar playing on Davis' records and here it really just didn't shine nearly as much.

-

>Dave Brubeck Quartet - Time Out

Really joyful/playful pieces, very pleasant listen.

+

>Sarah Vaughan - s/t

Vaughan's voice is amazing and it fits so well with Brown's music.

+

>Gas - Pop

This had some really nice sounds going on once in a while, but mainly it just bored me to death.

~

>Roscoe Holcomb - An Untamed Sense of Control

Just reaaaally not my thing, hate his voice.

-

>Sonny Sharrock - Black Woman

Some of the intense pieces were rather nice, but they were all rather spoilt by going to far, either ending in screaming or just incohesive garbage.

-

>Jackie-O Motherfucker - Fig. 5

I really enjoyed Flags of the Sacred Harp and this is great too. It's similar in it's drone stuff but adds a lot more free improv type sounds and they fit so well, perfect album to lay in bed to before sleeping.

Listening to the Debussy and Ravel quartets now and so far at least the Debussy are amazing.

pop is a perfect example of a listen to this album while on a walk meme
also use good headphones, when I first heard it in meh ones i honestly thought 3/4th of the songs were just few seconds looping. All the development and what not is subtle enough without decent audio you won't be able to hear it.

>>72467823

Kinda sucks though, it's one of those bands that got a lot of people into music, even if they don't really like them anymore

>>72467850
hmmmm okay, I woke up really early the day before yesterday and listened to it in bed before anyone was up so I was really paying attention, but maybe I'll try the walking thing sometime.

>>72467823
>Tuco 07 Oct
I can deal w that

>>72467951
Dope. If you like Joy Division you might like their first couple albums. And if you like any 80s "alternative" music you might vibe with their later 80s stuff, otherwise I'd say they're pretty passable. I can't really see anyone that doesn't like a decent amount of post-punk or synthpop getting much out of them.

A lot of Get Up With it was fucking amazing to me, I just didn't care for a couple of the more empty, thinly stretched pieces. Definitely deserves another listen though.

And Pop definitely has a lot of subtitles that I would say warrants pretty close listening, but I doubt you'll love it THAT much more a second time around, even given better circumstances.

>>72467718
Coworker's playlist. It's not great. Bland rock & RnB like Los Lonely Boys, Black Eyed Peas.

>>72467951
>it's one of those bands that got a lot of people into music

>Gorillaz are the reason I discovered Deltron 3030, MF DOOM, De La Soul, Pharcyde, and Mos Def
Yep, this was me too. I first discovered De La Soul and Del da Funkee Homosapien and got to the rest through that. I think they're a band that generally get a lot of rockists into hiphop, so they do serve a clear goal, even if I don't like them anymore

Very forward thinking for the date it was released. I really need to listen through a Can album.

>Comet: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OYxc-VzsB_0

Japanese noise rock that starts with scream samples. A vocalist that sounds like they were plucked from a pop group, and the way her voice gets filtered halfway through surprisingly works. Otherwise, it's noise rock.

>jimmy jazz: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=btZgxyWkcNw

>Kanzler: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hpjKOXqPgMo

French hip hop samples and songs, stitched together like some freakish beast. The song just plows forward with many things at once-- more like an interlude than a song. I think if there wasn't that one guy that kept singing to himself over the other samples, this could have been more enjoyable, listening to the collage.

Holy hell yeah.

You can't go wrong with their first five albums. Imo they just kept getting better and reaching their apex at Future Days, but some people will argue if Tago Mago, Ege Bamyasi, or Future Days are the best. All are incredible to me though.

I'm honestly jealous. If there was another band I wish I could "re-hear" for the first time it would probably be Can.

Was torn between this and Frankie Knuckle's Remix of "Blind" for my rec but this one resonates with me too much. Hopefully it has the same effect on you:

>Comet vs trans
The OTC EP was more or less the same old OTC I know and love. Nothing wrong with it, it just didn't stick out to me as something new. Still enjoyed it tho. Trans' pick was really interesting though. Its kinda weird to say I enjoyed a brostep album, but I did. It had some noisy textures to it I liked. So, since I think trans had the more interesting pick, he will advance.

>Shamepai vs Jangle
I wasn't really into the Futers EP outside of Mackin', which I really enjoyed. I was bored otherwise, though. The Tim Buckley was great though. I will always love Buckley and his beautiful voice and compositions. Hallucinations / Troubadour has to be one of his best songs.

trans and Jangle continue! Sorry to Comet and Shamepai, as always, thank you for the recs.

Alrighty here's some quick reviews

[1/2]

Lee Morgan - The Gigolo
>Hard Bop

I really like Lee Morgan so I really dig this album. Dude can rip it up on the trumpet, all of his solos are piercing and concise. Wayne Shorter joins on sax and is a huge standout on here - I think I like what I’ve heard from him in this style later in his career. The first half feels fairly normal for hard bop but it kicks into gear on side 2. The title track is a terrific spiritual sounding cut, with that bluesy solos and all that. Probably the best song I’ve heard from Morgan. The pianist sounds eerily similar to McCoy Tyner and Billy Higgins tears it up on the drums. The closer, “You Go To My Head” is pretty great as well.

Miles Davis - Big Fun
>Jazz-Fusion, Avant-Garde Jazz

Sometimes I forget how batshit crazy Miles went later in his career. Like he hit a certain point after Bitches Brew and went into his own world of jazz. This album is no exception and it’s basically a cut of random recordings between In a Silent Way and On The Corner. “Great Expectations” is probably the weirdest Miles track I’ve heard, with droney sitars dominating most of the mix. John McLaughlin and a bassist are all over this track, with that bizarre electric feel Miles liked to have on his later works. The electric piano is still one of the weirder sounds I’ve heard, with both Hancock and Corea slamming around on these creepy, reverb/echo-drenched solos. It’s just pure chaos but there’s some nice moments.

>>72470009
Yeah it's an impressive work. Have you read any other DeLillo?

>>72470979
[2/2]

“Ife” has much more of a funk feel, with a bass bouncing around on the background and the drums taking up more of the space. Feels more like it’s a cut from On the Corner but there’s a reason it’s an outtake. “Go Ahead John” is a cut from Jack Johnson that wanders around aimlessly for about 30 minutes without getting much done. “Lonely Fire” once again has that sitar roaming around but there’s more of an ambient, peaceful feel overall. Maybe the best track on the record.

As a whole though, this feels incredibly scatterbrained (probably since it’s a compilation t b h). The opener and closer have some of the best musical ideas I’ve heard from Miles but they’re ultimately bogged down by 20+ minute runtimes. Many of the tracks somehow manage to feel both too chaotic and way too sparse/barebones. It’s the oddest combination and it’s a sound I think only late era Miles could manage to produce. And really only a sound he could fuck up as a result. Ultimately, most of these tracks wander aimlessly and don’t accomplish much which leads to an extremely frustrating listen.

Some cool ideas scattered throughout and it has an incredibly unique sound but... not really my thing.

This dude in my dorm literally just sprints up and down the hall as fast as he can every time he gets drunk. It was pretty funny at first, but it's just pissing me off at this point. People try and stop him but he's so massive and determined that there's nothing they can do to stop him. Every weekend night is filled with "NICO. COME BACK. STOP. NICO." like I'm tired of it. Just pass out like normal people.

I can't wait to move off campus jesus christ.

>>72474230
if literally anyone gives your album above a 6 you have pretty much the most successful listenalong ever. Rarely do any of them do well. Everyone hated my first listenalong lol.

>>72474762
If you do I will tag Dark And Stormy Night as nightcore and you won't be able to stop me

>>72474762
Wait how is nightcore not a tag? Its a legitimate genre whether you like it or not

>>72475004
do it
>>72475012
seriously it's long overdue. there are full nightcore labels in the database that have to exist through some bs combination of tags like "bubblegum bass, happy hardcore, plunderphonics, etc."

>>72475012
people who are pissbabies about genres really give me the shits. They're always like "STOP USING INDIE AS A GENRE. GODDAMN!!! INDIE DOESN'T HAVE A SOUND" like, genre doesn't even have to necessarily describe the music specifically dude. Why do you think we have "Brit Pop" or "Krautrock". Indie sux 90% of the time but it does describe a particular era of "alternative" music/marketing/aesthetic. Imo the more descriptors/genre tags we have the better.

>>72475058
ya know at first I thought it sounded ridiculous, but after thinking about it you're totally right. No reason it shouldn't be a thing.

Plug better be up and running by the time I get back in ~30. Acting like a fool because of aforementioned bonus

>>72475119
But the worst part is people who say "STOP LABELLING MUSIC" or "stop being so pedantic about subgenres". God damn, genres make me find more music like what I already like

>>72475119
vaporwave is music slowed down with some additional alteration. nightcore is more or less the same thing in reverse. if anything, most nxc i hear now is more manipulated than vaporwave.

>>72475119
>the more descriptors/genre tags we have the better.
that's a good point as well. as long as they come from somewhere, what's the issue with more and better info on something?

>>72475148
yuh tru dat

>>72475151
I think the general pushback might be if Nightcore becomes a full-fledged genre tag on rym people might try and put the 10 million "Every Time We Touch" Nightcore covers made in audacity on RYM. But I mean, what's so wrong with that?

Embrace the new era. Sell your son for muslim barbie dolls. Upload your conscious to the cucknet. infobart dot com.

>>72475236
nightcore is a lot more structured now than it used to be. there are full on labels and festivals dedicated to the stuff, plus i don't think rym allows youtube rips to count as releases unless they are really good.

Memes aside, I think if this album has got a base for something interesting, but the technology available for producing the album at the time wasn't enough. Something as simple as switching up the percussion mid-song could have made it a little less irritating

Like in bastards, I actually liked what was going on with the guy yelling DATABYTE or something and the guard saying "This is a restricted area." I was starting to get into it at that point, but the following tracks did nothing for me.

If you had shared the version on RYM where there's only 6 tracks I'd give this maybe 5 or 6

>>72477006
He shouldnt have to. There are albums in the rym database tagged as vaporwave that are LITERALLY just pitch shifted and slowed down

new gorillaz is ass btw. wish there was more of 2D singing, or more of anything that actually includes the core band. too many features of random brown people who deliver boring versions of their normal output. also incorporating political shit into the lyrics is fairly distracting in this case. gorillaz to me has always kinda existed in an alternate universe that some musicians just kinda pop in and out of.

The Allman Brothers Band - Idlewild South (1970)
>southern rock, blues rock

A bit of a softmore slump compared to their pretty jamming debut. The blues here is much less tasteful, and there's more of it too, which doesn't make for a winning combination. This gives us tracks like "Hoochie Coochie Man", the most generic 12-bar blues song you'll ever here, and "Don't Keep Me Wonderin'" a tame little romp that does nothing but show off the technical prowess of the band. The ballads are pretty lame too, save for "Midnight Rider", which leaves a pretty mediocre album. "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed" and "Leave My Blues at Home" are good jams, though.

Gorillaz - Humanz (2017)
>electropop, art pop

Like half of the people here, Gorillaz were one of the first bands I really got into, so this is an album I've been hyped for pretty much since 2013. Such is the case with every Gorillaz album, it's a fucking massive mixed bag, equally filled with great tracks and nearly unlistenable tracks. The whole album has a very poppy, danceable sound, surely the group's poppiest release yet. It's got a lot of house vibes to it, which occasionally gives the album a bit too much of a top 40 EDM sound that I can't get into at all, but there's enough typical Gorillaz weirdness to balance everything out. Sadly, the singles are the best tracks here. Besides "Submission" and "Busted and Blue", the best tracks here are "Saturnz Barz", "Ascension", and "Andromeda". These are all great tracks, the first utilizing it's spacey dancehall beat to wonderful effect, the second possessing one of the album's most propulsive beats and verses, and the last one just being a damn fine pop song. The rest of the tracks range from forgettable to outright bad. "Strobelite" is an affable dancey track, but it's in one ear and out the other, and "Charger" and "Sex Murder Party" are probably the two worst non-remix songs ever put out for Gorillaz, and the former especially stings because it wastes such a great Grace Jones feature. It's not as terrible as some of the reception seems to suggest it is, but it's a disappointment, and by far the group's worst (fully fleshed out) release. I'd probably like it more if the deluxe tracks ended up on the standard edition, because "Out of Body" is /great/, but fuck a deluxe edition.

Let’s start off with this one. Thurston releases a 5 track album that turns out to be one of the most competent things he has done in a while. Brings back the energetic chords of stuff like Daydream Nation with great songwriting here. Every track seems simple and familiar because of that.

I was thinking of how this album could be tagged as post-rock cause of all the buildups and prolonged instrumental parts, but then again Sonic Youth was a Glenn Branca baby and he’s sort of like proto-post-rock? Pointless pondering on my part I guess.

A pleasant surprise. I remember listening to his last LP and it didn’t really catch my ear (maybe needs a revisit?), but this one is really fun.

I'm hyped for most things that have yet to come out like new Laurel Halo and Forest Swords.

Ween - The Pod (1991)
>experimental rock, lo-fi indie, alternative rock

The brownest album in a career full of pure brown. The album borders on tape music at points, having only a couple of songs that actually function as "songs". It creates one hell of a disorienting, outlandish atmosphere filled with dark soundscapes and childish humor. The humor sucks, yeah, but this heavier emphasis on sounds instead of songs or vocals really makes this stand out from the rest of Ween's discog. There are some great individual songs though, like "Oh My Dear (Falling in Love)" (which I ADORE) and "Pork Roll Egg and Cheese", but as a whole this functions much better as a cohesive album that anything else. So disorienting, so disjointed, pretty much a trainwreck, but so interesting and enjoyable.

3.0-

Hüsker Dü - Zen Arcade (1984)
>hardcore punk, post-hardcore

So goddamned close to being incredible, but a bit too much of the album is dedicated to some pretty standard hardcore punk that pales in comparison to all the cool, experimental shit this band is doing. The straight-up hardcore is still good, mainly because Hart and Mould are such fantastic, passionate vocalists, but it lacks the punch that the more experimental tracks have, a few could've stood to be cut without really impacting the album. The noisier, weird tracks, though? Absolutely incredible. "Dreams Reoccurring", "Hare Krsna", "What's Going On", and "Reoccurring Dreams" rank among some of the best punk songs ever, and they admittedly do work perfectly with the straighforward tracks. "Reoccuring Dreams" is especially extraordinary, it's one of the best album closers I've ever heard. Nearly amazing, but with some downfalls.

Yes - The Yes Album (1971)
>progressive rock

A lukewarm precursor to Fragile and Close to the Edge, but a decent prog album in it's own right. The epic tracks are typical Yes fare, composed and performed really well, but I guess they lack the charm and sheer over-the-top conviction the best Yes stuff has, they often devolve into some pretty standard psych jams that, while good, seem a tad bit half-baked. They still boast some wonderful instrumental work, and some of Anderson's best vocal works. The short interlude tracks are neat, but unmemorable. "The Clap" has some sick acoustic work though, and it's a lot better than Yes doing blues should ever be in any reality. A nice proper debut.

A very minimal live performance from the all-mighty chanteuse Diamanda Galas. She is performing some “death songs” on here in a church. It is pretty much a cover album (some Brel here, Albert Ayler’s Angels too).

Her vocal range and the tonal incarnations she produces are amazing as usual. She gets out of her body to create this bare strike of fear, sorrow and agony within the same proximity. This performance reminded me of Schubert’s interpretation of Erlkönig a lot. I guess the song cycle about death is somewhat related thematically to Schubert as well with Winterreise for example.

Her piano playing fits the vocal performance. Mournful and yet full of occasional staccato bursts, erratically entering into the world of Diamanda’s vocal insanity. Slight hints of blues too, especially on O’Death which is the definite centrepiece of the album.

If you think you would like over-the-top dramatic vocal performances about death in a minimalist package, go buy this.
