Nobody claimed Kid A was deep. Most of the lyrics were literally picked from a hat.

Radiohead - Kid A

This album is the sonic equivalent of waking up the morning a project is due and realizing you haven’t done it, so you spit out some philosophical bullshit onto a page and hope it works out, only to get it back and be asked to publish it in a journal because it’s so fucking “revolutionary.”

No one mentions the fact that this album isn’t about anything. It has no purpose at all, no meaning. It is the product of Thom Yorke having writer’s block and everyone else just saying “Sure, do what you want, we don’t care, you’re Radiohead!”

Kid A is one long panic attack, one long disjointed Myspace poem by that weird kid in high school who got his rocks off by scaring everyone “because he liked it” and now goes to a community college in a different state and posts racist memes on Facebook. It’s one long manic episode-induced love letter written to an ex by that guy in a Warped Tour-core band who just can’t get over her even though it happened five years ago when they were in 8th grade.

This album rules, but what the fuck is going on here guys.

Neutral Milk Hotel - In the Aeroplane Over the Sea

The story of how In the Aeroplane Over the Sea took on its thematic bent is, by now, well known: Jeff Mangum picked up a copy of the diary of Anne Frank, read it, and was devastated, telling Puncture magazine (in an interview later published in its entirety by Pitchfork), "I would go to bed every night and have dreams about having a time machine and somehow I'd have the ability to move through time and space freely, and save Anne Frank." This narrative alone has bred its own share of overanalysis—a jokey 4chan thread put together a conspiracy theory in which Mangum actually succeeded—but it probably explains more of the literal element of the album than most fans would care to admit (it doesn't take a rocket scientist to piece together the meaning of lyrics like "then they buried her alive / One evening 1945" from "Holland, 1945"). Although many of the lyrics are winding and impenetrable and—due to being filled with sexual and religious imagery—seem to demand meticulous dissection, the explanation for them seems pretty simple: They are mostly just dream images that made compelling lyrical phrases. Sex and religion are like Surrealism 101. Take a look at a Salvador Dali painting and then at Jeff Mangum's lyrics sheet and see how uniquely inscrutable his words really are. As Mangum said in that same interview, his writing process was not particularly cerebral, and his own mind is pre-disposed to indulging his dreams, which naturally brings out religion and sex. To fixate on the thematic arc of the lyrical message of In the Aeroplane Over the Sea, to ask Mangum to explain that message, is to miss that message entirely.

(1/2)

>>73119116
(2/2)

Which is to say: It's not that there's not depth to the album. To the contrary! It's that the explanation of the album is pretty simple and instead it's the implications of it that are profound. Aeroplane is a concept album, sure, but its biggest concept is radical empathy, the idea that history and humanity might be best understood by diving deep into someone else's psyche. It's not that deep to write lyrics that are not so secretly about World War II, nor is it that deep to suggest that reality is one big waking dream—there's a reason some philosophy professors make a rule that you're not allowed to discussThe Matrix—but there's plenty of emotional profundity to be found in wading through someone else's dream so vividly rendered. Just don't make the mistake of channeling your feeling of personal connection into a need to annotate the lyrics on RapGenius.

I can agree with every single one on this list except for Kid A and maybe Mars Volta.

But who considers these albums as deep? and how are you judging things as being "deep", it's such a meaningless word that you can basically call anything deep.
Like why is DSotM on here? it's pretty obvious what it's about.
And ITAOTS is also fairly straight forward once you learn its about anne frank, its just surreal imagery.
In both of these cases why does this make it deep? and not only that why is the implication then that they are bad for doing this?

>>73118798

>>73119187
The Mars Volta was a decidedly hard turn from the band’s former At the Drive-In members and they pulled it off spectacularly. Their debut, De-loused in the Comatorium, was trippy and bolder and generally weirder than what ATDI had been doing. That said, the lyrics make no fucking sense whatsoever. Anything can be mistaken for being profound when you don’t understand it. “Transient jet lag ecto mimed bison / This is the haunt of roulette dares / Ruse of metacarpi,” for example. Utter jibberish. Like reaching into a bag of peyote edition refrigerator word magnets. Which is fine. It can be cool to treat lyrics as purely sonic elements, but let’s stop pretending these words are anything more than nonsense scrawled during opioid trips.

That's why I think it's deep tho.

>>73118334
Being "too smart" for Pink Floyd is in fact a boring, entry-level opinion that's not as deep as it thinks.

>>73118418
Also this. How is 'drug' music a criticism? Most of the best music since the 20th Century has been shaped in a large way by drugs, in many cases explicitly for the purpose of accompanying drug experiences.

I thought journalists were bad already, but these hack nobodies who write these clickbait listicles are even worse. Literally just know-nothing randoms and hot chicks that fucked the editor etc.

>>73119202
"Deep" is now a meaningless buzzword but imo it should be defined as "multiple interpretations are sustainable" because that's what fosters discussion.

>Pink Floyd – Dark Side of the Moon

Pink Floyd is glorified stoner music and you know it. And like all glorified stoner music, time has ascribed great philosophical importance to the album Dark Side of the Moon. But when you can buy Dark Side of the Moon t-shirts and posters in bulk at Target and its main cultural draw is a bunch of lazers, it's time to ask the question: Is it really that deep? Or are you just on a bunch of drugs right now?

Remember when John Waters said, “If you go home with someone and they don’t have any books, don’t fuck them?” The same should be said for any person with Dark Side of the Moon paraphanalia. Please tell me what is so earth-shatteringly profound about playing the cha-ching sound on a tape loop? If you’re interested in subversive capitalism, you're better off watching Zoolander.

>Muse – Black Holes and Revelations

If you’re looking for evidence that Muse is the soundtrack for faux-intellectual radicals, look no further than this fact: Muse is Glenn Beck’s favorite band.

>But who considers these albums as deep? and how are you judging things as being "deep", it's such a meaningless word that you can basically call anything deep.

This is a really good point and something that's been on the tip of my tongue for a while. Usually whenever I see commentators attempting to call out something for not actually being 'deep' - usually made as a criticism for things like David Lynch, Gaspar Noe, The Neon Demon, Spring Breakers (to use director / film examples) - it really exposes the person making the criticism for not really 'getting' aesthetics.

First of all, like you said, who is even saying something is necessarily "deep", exactly? And how do you measure this 'depth'? This complaint seems like it's coming from some approach to viewing or listening that's maybe based in either a viewpoint requiring rationality or logic, or maybe from a writerly angle seeking text or a message. Like, a STEM perspective wanting a sense of some logic (or maybe complexity?), or a English major, journo, or political orientation combing over it for some coherent, preferably nuanced, and articulable reading that readily make itself available.

And again, this just reeks of people who don't exactly get music or art, who don't receive it for what it is. And, I mean, there can be brilliance and nuance, but not operating in a way that translates exactly to explicable readings or to measurements.

I will admit that some music (which I tend to not like much) sometimes attempts to have some message, usually political. And I suppose you can critique a lyric's triteness, because then you are dealing with text. But criticizing Floyd as "stoner music" is probably aimed more at the music itself, the sensory stuff happening, which has nothing to do with depth of message (depth of sonic spaciality, sure, but that's neither good or bad, just an aesthetic decision, and not what they're referring to).

Yes, edgy teens like(d) it. That doesn't take away from the fact that the lyrical themes and the narrative are basically calling out those same edgy teens as fuck-ups who won't amount to anything, brilliantly shitting the idiotic, delinquent punk subculture. See: Jesus of Suburbia and Homecoming.

Exactly, I'll basically sump up the story of American Idiot.


Jesus Of Suburbia, the main protagonist IS THE american idiot, he is the edgy fuck who thinks that by going againts the establishment will make him shine, yet in reality, he is a worthless edge lord.

An edge lord, unhappy with his life, who runs away from his home. And there he is still lonely and gets dumped.

Everyone leaves him, every single friend leaves him for being such a dumbass, for being so "punk yo" and he returns back to his momy, matured realizing how retarded he was.


Best album from'em.

you just sound like you are jelous Billie Joe didn't let you play bass.

>>73122011
American Idiot is a great rock album. Pretty fuckin simple.

It only tells you how far rock music still is from becoming a serious art.

This seems actually great for the album. Vice's idea of deepth seems to be just spouting pseud trash instead of writing from experience and actual feels.

"This album is the sonic equivalent of waking up the morning a project is due and realizing you haven’t done it, so you spit out some philosophical bullshit onto a page and hope it works out, only to get it back and be asked to publish it in a journal because it’s so fucking “revolutionary.”

No one mentions the fact that this album isn’t about anything. It has no purpose at all, no meaning. It is the product of Thom Yorke having writer’s block and everyone else just saying “Sure, do what you want, we don’t care, you’re Radiohead!”

Kid A is one long panic attack, one long disjointed Myspace poem by that weird kid in high school who got his rocks off by scaring everyone “because he liked it” and now goes to a community college in a different state and posts racist memes on Facebook. It’s one long manic episode-induced love letter written to an ex by that guy in a Warped Tour-core band who just can’t get over her even though it happened five years ago when they were in 8th grade.

This album rules, but what the fuck is going on here guys.
—Annalise Domenighini"

Ironically her words combined with this picture of her are more representative of the kind of person she is as a posed to the album itself. Terrible writing aside you've got to wonder what would inspire someone to write this sort of shit and feel content with the output they are producing.

>>73119116
this is literally just writing a boring essay over the topic of being salty over not being as good of a lyricist as jeff mangum. It just tries to break down everything that the lyrics are made up of and turn it into some boring thinkpiece for pseuds to digest. This is just proof that those who can't make music, make music journalism.

>>73122719
What she said is literally incorrect information. The album was developed to have no meaning as to let the listener interpret on their own.

>>73118397
Complex was good about 3 years ago, back when they had desus and mero and it wasnt just buzzfeed for niggers.

>>73122822
It seems like the "average listener of Kid A" is her describing someone in particular as it doesn't really seem to portray any of the sensibilities that might be associated with your run-of-the-mill Radiohead enthusiast.

The whole paragraph reeks of this cynical air of superiority despite the fact it seems to crucially misunderstand the intent of the album in general.

I think it is telling that she needs to portray the album (and its listeners) as being an unflattering caricature in order to try diminish the value other have found in it. Her attitude shows a level of contempt and dismay towards the album that makes me question why she considers herself a credible person to be discussing the content.

These sorts of articles only further my opinion that editorial content re: music is completely worthless and sort of misses the point of why music is enjoyable in the first place.

No love for kid a. Fuck.

>>73122971
The worst part is how she only analyzes lyrical content. She completely ignores the brilliance behind the cold and lonely atmosphere present in Kid A, and other soundscapes notable in other albums.

>>73121580
>This album rules
Bullshit. You aren't going to talk down to an album like that and claim you like it; this is just a sad attempt at not losing all credibility because the album is universally complained.

i am far more buttfrumpled than i am able to convey via the internet
plus the whole article is just taking the lyrics at surface value and saying that because they can be taken at surface value, they're not deep. that master of puppets analysis is the biggest fucking joke i've seen in my life--maybe it's not some fine poetry but it's more than the "reagan-era teenage angst" they claim it is. they literally claim that "fixing a hole" is about home improvement. how little effort do they put into their clickbait?

What did they mean by this?

>>73119318
Pretty sure the thing about Dark Side was it's effects. To get all the sounds in place - the interviews, the clocks, the cash - took a lot of effort. That plus the creative usage of the synthesizer was groundbreaking at the time. Also the mixing was terrific. It is an album with a clear beginning, middle, and end, not too long or too short, and had a central theme which was super popular at the time.
