Albums that clicked on the first listen
Damn, really? I must be a turbo-plen then.
>>72508031
Yeah. I must've listened to it 3 times again later that day.
Don't feel bad tho, I couldn't get into Kid A.
>>72508009
I quite liked it at first but then on repeat listenings gradually realised what an overrated pile of shit it actually is.
Most albums if you aren't a pleb
>>72508104
I don't believe you
>>72508104
this. I was high as hell when I first heard it and it was bliss.
>>72508104
Same
>>72508064
this, though it was the greatest thing on earth on first listen, but it got old quickly (wouldn't say it's shit, i just never listen to it)
>>72508104
This. Loveless didn't click for some people on the first listen? I've always felt like it were fairly accessible.
Also pic-related.
>>72508065
all albums
if you're not an idiot
Every king crimson album, faust IV, DAMN., Selling England by the Pound, Hot Rats, Tago Mago, The Dark Side of the Moon, Funeral, 2112, along with moving pictures.
>>72508060
Kid A is best when either super depressed or at night in the woods
>>72509478
the only click was the click of my mouse pressing "stop"
>>72509373
I found third really weird on first listen, I felt compelled to listen again after like a month and then started liking it
P. good my man
>>72508104
This album pretty much inverse-clicked on me, I loved it first listen and liked it a bit less every time on subsequent plays. I still find it a good album, just doesn't do the same for me it did when I first tried it.
>>72509259
Come on. Islands?
>>72508009
machine girl - wlfgrl
it's so comfy, especially second track
lift your skinny fists
>>72512038
Oh yeah
This was my first stoner/doom record. It blew me away, sound was like something from another universe. Couldn't stop listening. Prior to this I was like a White Stripes - Pixies - Iron Maiden lv.26 pleb
>>72508009

>>72509178
clicked right away
>>72508104
>>72508060
>>72508990
>>72512049
these took me a couple tries to get into
>>72508104
I feel 100% cursed, Loveless has never clicked for me, I've listened to it 10+ times, I love the genre, by all means I should love this album but it's never clicked for me
what am I doing wrong?
>>72512182
Have you reached sleep-deprivation depression pit enlightenment stage yet?
It also helps to cut yurself
>>72512182
Nothing, just move on with your life and listen to something different I guess
>>72512182
it's not just you anon, only shallow is legit the only good song on the album
>>72512182
listen to isn't anything instead
>>72509495
This

How
>>72512130
I was going to post this but fine.
>>72508104
Came here to post this
>>72508104
This for sure
Honest to god hearing it was like experiencing an album that was meant for me, like I should have heard it before but never did
>>72508104
I doubt that
>>72508990
I can see that, depending on what you listened to first
>>72512130
this has yet to click, I don't get it. Someone explain it to me?
>>72513383
this actually wasn't hard to at all, it was just fucking aural sex
This "clicking" stuff doesn't make sense to me. It's rare that I'll listen to something and think "ok, I feel like I can get into this, but I'm not totally there yet." It happens, but usually I either considerably enjoy something at first, or feel like it's something that I won't get into, and I only come back to it if I get more into its genre. Anyone else the same? It seems weird to think of every album you don't enjoy as if it's for you, but you just don't understand it
>>72513751
Why do you doubt Loveless? Some people enjoy noise or shoegaze *before* discovering classics. For Exmilitary, I listened to some other Zach Hill shit before and thought he was a dank drummer
>>72513882
fair argument, it was my introduction to the genre and really the only album that is solely described as "shoegaze"
>>72508009
Clicked with me on the first riff.
>>72513751
For Spiderland the poetry is great. Take Washer's opening line "Goodnight my love, remember me as you fall to sleep. Fill your pockets with the dust and memory, that rises from the shoes on my feet", such a nice line. The album captures an emotion better than any other I've listened to. Also, objectively it did a lot to shape post-rock. So many songs in the genre build toward a climax at the end the same way songs on Spiderland do.

These I immediately liked
>>72514039
Whoops forgot my album
>>72509458
I remember driving to school before the sun came up in the winter listening to How to Disappear Completely. Transcendent.
Shame many dismiss it because of it being mainstream, whether they realize it or not.
>>72513751
Spiderland is really eerie, but even more than that I think it's surreal. And it manages to do both while continuously resisting falling into a depression or falling into an aggression which is something most conceptually intriguing albums can't do.
>>72508009
>>72514027
The songs on Doolittle are so catchy though, I think it clicked that fast for everyone
>>72514295
Unless yr a pleb who doesn't get Pixies. I've seen it.
>>72514027
What the fuck? The lyrics are not why anyone praises Spiderland.
>>72514541
I praise Spiderland for its lyrics
Best introduction to an artist ever.
Love on first listen
>>72514295
Of course. It grows on you but's catchy enough to fall in love with immediately.
>>72514344
Actually my favorite Pixies album
>>72514541
I really like the lyrics on Spiderland, as I think most do. You're right though, it isn't the lyrics that make it such a landmark. Does that really warrant a wtf?
>>72514027
>also objectively it did a lot of shape post-rock.
You can't say objectively when its your opinion.
Please stop saying anything about music.
It made me feel a little uncomfortable at first because:
A) It was really my first exposure to black metal (and it definitely is baby's first BM record looking back at it now)
B) I wasn't really expecting it at all, I just saw the album cover on a 3x3 thread and looked it up on YT
but eventually I acclimatised to it and played it non-stop for a good week or two.
>>72508009
>>72514027
how are people willing to overlook mediocre music just because of good lyrics?
>>72508009
Same
>>72508104
How?
>>72514767
>Spiderland is mediocre music
you're an idiot
>>72513453
This one hits you the second you hear the bassline on Moby Octopad
>>72511903
I don't think I would describe Machine Girl as comfy, I love it to death though. Check out the GRLPWR EP if you haven't
>>72514767
Mediocre? Listen again you clown
>>72514698
I think you might be retarded. Whether you think music is good or not is subjective. Whether or not it was influential on other musicians is objective.
