ITT: Great synthpop albums

>>73241205
I only like "We Share Our Mother's Health" from that album.
Not because all the other tracks on it are bad or anything, i'm just too much of a pleb to truly appreciate The Knife past a bunch of key tracks in theid discography.

>>73241329
You don't even like the title track?

I really liked pic related when I first listened to it. After paying more attention to the lyrics and composition, and reading about Michael Angelekos' struggles with mental illness I appreciated it a lot more. I'd consider it one of my favorite synthpop albums now

>>73241205
Silent Shout is probably the only modern synthpop album I'd call "Great" just because its such a leap ahead artistically from anything else in the genre, besides maybe shaking the habitual. I'd put it up there with Power, Corruption and Lies and The Man Machine

Kind of in the same vein as TR/ST, I really enjoyed pic related. Austras pretty good too

I'm quite positive that no one likes this album as much as I do, but it's so fucking great.

Bankrupt! by Phoenix.

>>73244794
I really liked it when it came out but don't listen much for no reason

why does all the music here sound like it was made by some tone deaf faggot who decided it was time to release his album after only using fruity loops for one month? is this like some ironic genre?

>>73244950
idk why does your reply sound like it was made by some actual deaf faggot who decided it was time to reply after listening to 2 seconds of anything mentioned in this thread? is this like some ironic reply?

>>73244794
>Bankrupt! by Phoenix.
I was going to buy this back in 2013 without having heard it because I liked the cover. I still haven't actually heard it.

>>73245023
It's never too late to listen to it!
it's fantastic!

I feel like this isn't synth pop but some songs are certainly pop influenced and there are synths

>>73245151
At least they went out with a modern classic

>shoegaze
did you really listen to that album? only high rise, sugar, whitelightgenerator and maybe weekend are electro-shoegaze.

btw 604 > light & magic.

>>73247955
You forgot Destroy Everything You Touch but yeah, even if you count only those both 604 and Light and Magic are a lot more synthpop than Witching Hour. I don't remember a lot from Velocifero but I think it's more synth-in clined as well.

I despise synthpop, but where's Kraftwerk? This is just sad.

>>73248006
>You forgot Destroy Everything You Touch
destroy is synthpop, not shoegaze: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JTTwlAT_AwU

>both 604 and Light and Magic are a lot more synthpop than Witching Hour
they are.

>I don't remember a lot from Velocifero but I think it's more synth-in clined as well.
velocifero has plenty of synths. however, it's not pure synthpop.

>>73248509
thread is for great albums not bad albums

>>73248433
She's got great art direction and her videos are eyecandy, but music has been really bland and unremarkable lately. Her aforementioned fellow countrymen blow her out of the water completely.

>>73241329
Not even the track 'Silent Shout'?

>i'm just too much of a pleb to truly appreciate The Knife
Well, I guess knowing is the first step?

>>73248538
>not bad albums
ok, i'll take the bait. visions is a great album. more exactly, a masterpiece. i'm not the only oen with this opinion.

>>73242689
10/10 right here, this is up there with the greats.

>>73241205
This too.

>>73244264
You might dig Crystal Castles' III, S U R V I V E's s/t, Lust For Youth, this >>73242819 and Zola Jesus.

>>73246379
I actually really loved this album

>>73248552
Also, their live shows were some borderline occult shit (as much as it gets for vaguely synthpop collective at this point ofc)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LXV-rAOKqe4

>>73245372
vaporwave is 100% synthwave. how music is composed or if it includes sampling has NO RELATION to the genre of music that it exists in.

>>73248552
>but music has been really bland and unremarkable lately
What are you talking about? Blue? Blue wasn't as good as Kin but it was still a solid synthpop album.

The online concert they did in 2012 was amazing. And personally I find iamamiwhoami much more consistent and pleasing to the ear than The Knife. Their brand of experimentation is much more subtle and less histrionic.

Yeah I'm not shitting on them I actually love Kraftwerk dearly since it was one of the first bands I actually cared about to search and listen to their whole discog.

Also, their synth guy, Loke Rahbek, is better known under the alias of Croatian Amor. He runs a lable called Posh Isolation, which is very much worth to check out if you're into melancholic ambient-ish electronics. Don't know how well known this label is on this board but you get the idea.
