Theyre just boring, you know? I'm sure they're brilliantly composed by Brian and all but pop music needs lyrics. I feel the same way about the instrumentals on Bowies berlin records.

It's elevator music even though Brian didnt know that would be a thing at the time so we can hardly blame him. There just arent enough moving pieces. There's the leitmotif and then what?

San Tropez is great
>>
>>72735225
I think composition wise you can argue for let's go away for a while as one of the best songs on the album, the whole call and response thing going on as well as the really amorphous structure make it one of the most interesting songs on the album.

You all know quite well the man - talented as he were - was just high on Spector and LSD; or the times as it were. You on the other hand are all high on memes, obsessively posting what the memes mandated you to post.

No one needs Brian-fucking-Wilson writing instrumental music. He is a lot of things but he's not the king of hard bop.
>>
>>72735636
haha yeah I forgot that "instrumental music" is one of the most avant-garde and experimental genres of all time and mr. pop tunes man should never touch it
after all, if you like a instrumental song that's not jazz you're obviously just memeing. no one in sane conscience would like a track that I don't. that's just preposterous.

Yes har di fucking har, but seriously though dog, a pop tune with lyric quite elegantly directs the minds eye to some fucking gestalt of a state of mind of the perceived MC of the song and so easily adds a whole new dimension

Well I can certainly relate, but not to some fucking piano bullshit that had been made far more superior in Vienna several hundred years ago

no you fucking weren't. you literally called the instrumental tracks "elevator music" and when people told you that that's retarded you told them that they were only memeing and only stuff like Hard Bop is actually good instrumental music
>I even hinted at Art Blakey as something more worthwhile in that genre
you literally just mentioned "hard bop". don't come at me namedropping entry-level jazz artists to pretend you know shit about music. you said some retarded shit and you're now doing damage control.

*deletes Driving Me Backwards*

>>72739469
Long Distance Drunk is too slow for me. Though I will say that it makes Shit Luck feel much more surprising and exciting since they contrast so harshly. It's easily the least interesting track on LCW and I'm tempted to skip it every time it comes on but again, maybe it still fits it because of how it turns into Shit Luck. Kind of like in Teeth Like God's Shoeshine where it gets slow, sounds like the song ended and then "OH MY GOD DAMN".

Wild Pack of Family Dogs is a fine little track but it doesn't belong on M&A, it's feels very out of place on an otherwise incredibly consistent album. I'd personally have it swap places with Willful Suspension of Disbelief from Everywhere and His Nasty Parlor Tricks.
>>
Oh come on, its 2 tracks

Substitute dont go near the water for My Solution
Substitute SDT for Wouldnt It Be Nice To Live Again
>>
>>72738522
I love Trapped Under Ice. One simple thrash banger is all the album needs, along with one ballad, one mid paced song, one "pop" song, one instrumental. It's the other three tracks that feel repetitive. Creeping Death is so much better than the other two that it's made even worse

Why the fuck was this even on the album? Should have been on the single with Penny Lane instead of Strawberry Fields, which should have been on Sgt. Pepper in it's place. Strawberry Fields as track 4 instead of Getting Better would have made this nearly a 10/10.

I assume he meant Morning Bell since there's a superior version of it on Kid A.
>>72739179
Wild Pack of Family Dogs is fantastic. The only song that should be removed from M&A is the ending track. It should've ended at Life Like Weeds. Aside from LCW, Modest Mouse is terrible at ending records.

That track is perfect. Long Distance Drunk is what you meant to say.
