aside from the first track, a lot of it only seems like a step up from a migos album, not bad at all, I just dont get it

>>73981634
Basically its an album walking you through Kendricks childhood, exposing his life. Its a very intimate album, especially for hip hop

>>73981093
It's funny, but beyond that it's uniquely textured, wonderfully composed with lengthy songs with complicated structures, and all the performances are really good.

It took me a few listens to get into it, and one thing that helped me get into that one was listening to later Bungle albums. Mr.Bungle, Disco Volante, and California are some of the best albums I've ever listened to.

>>73981702
It sounds like a self-absorbed and shallow album

>>73981093
Well, it's hard to explain, but let me try:

It's like an album that dips you in the mind of a schizophrenic and evil clown: everything in here is just so fucking nuts, the whole album is like a NC-17 version of a porno/action movie with absurdist comedy or some slapstick gore.

Recommended only if you like quirkyness.

>>73981620
Great album cover

>>73981702
I get that, but I dont get the actual music aspect of it

Explain to me the second half of the album, the first one starts nice but has the album comes near the end the sound starts to go crazier and crazier to a point its just random noises.

>>73982187
Not much to get musically, its just rap. Rap is almost always about lyrics so if that doesnt interest you dont worry

>>73981880
thats just what you want to hear from it though you whitey

>>73981093
Maybe it's cliche but the atmosphere on this album is ridiculous. It's littered with samples, carnival vibes, and sexual innuendos. I dig it

I don't care that they were babbies when they made it.

>>73983158
It has this eerie anxious feeling and the lyrics are amazing. Also, the band really gets into a groove sometimes where the riffs and drumbeats draw you in like on Good Morning Captain.

>>73982643
This is I need to know. It just sounds like shitty mumbling with reverb.

>>73982776
This. Can someone explain the message or what makes this album so appealing?

>>73981325
Fuck off Montie

>>73982682
I like some rap I just dont like the rap here, with the exception of the first track, which is admittedly my favorite song of his

>>73982206
Sounds like you've got the gist of it

>>73981093
It's a fun album and they are really good musicians.

>>73982776
>>73983565
It is overhyped, but great pop music.

>>73983565
its about jeff mangum being in love with the reincarnations of anne frank, sexual abuse of children, mental retardation, fate, and attempting to grasp the indescribable qualities of sadness that cuts deeper than a moment or a lifetime, eternal sorrow. one example is how love transcends time, thus leaving us separated for a lifetime from who we are meant to be and be with

it is frustrating because no one seems to understand this album, not even me. the things i said about it are about as true as any other interpretation

>>73981880
how so?

>>73982206
>but has the album comes near the end the sound starts to go crazier and crazier to a point its just random noises.
yes, what's the question?

>>73983158
it's autism in music form

>>73983740
>but great pop music.
damn

>>73983565
I honestly just like the music.
That's it.
There's no secret message that can make music appealing. If anything, the message just adds onto the already appealing music.

>>73982776

Never has an album felt so omnipotent, yet so powerlessly personal. One of the few pieces of music where you actually feel the weight the the person behind it.

there's way too much sampling. someone help explain how accordian isnt the only decent song on this thing

>>73985191
6/10 bait

>>73982776
>>73983565
It's folk rock with good songwriting. What is there to explain?

>>73985657
What's wrong with sampling?

>>73984013
The question is why is it seen as such a great album, future days is better and doesnt have 20 mins of radom stuff at the end

I posted this album in another thread like this and somebody told me to check out "musique concrete".
I still think the second half is trash but google that and maybe you'll get some insight

somebody redpill me on this album without any waifushit

>>73985821
What did fantano say bout it?

>>73983039
You were supposed to skip that one.

>>73985657
Listen to the flow and lyricism, it's supposed to be abstract.

MF doom larps as a supervillan when he raps and he is really good at it. Madlib is one of the most acclaimed underground producers and is also really good at what he does. This album came together when both were at a creative peak.

It's 11/10 if you are already into underground hip hop, but if you are into the poppier sounds like (insert your favorite rapper) it takes some getting used to at first.

>>73981933
>>73981863
These both answer it
>>73981933 described it from a perspective I haven't heard before but is still accurate.

it's a very dark album lots of descriptions of gore

for me it got better with every listen.
helps if you're sad as well.

Dont get me wrong, there are parts that I absolutely love, but why do people on this board act like this is flawless?

>>73981697
Just watch the movie

>>73986031
You at least have to appreciate Disorder.

>>73986127
Contrarianism probably. Its good, but its kind of bloated. I love Ritual though.

>>73985657
Not much to help you with here. DOOM and Madlib are kinda similar but on different fields, it might be tiring that DOOM always sounds very hazed and monotone, and Madlib beats are all so lo-fi and filled with samples, but that is their strength as they can vary a lot in the field they know how to do best. They deliver a great song after a great song, change the style but don't lose any quality in the process. They can go from a more hazed and slow song to a more uptempo song, but keep it consistent as their characters are defined by the lo-fi sampled beats, and the monotone voice, but the setting changes. It really feels like it is to be taken like a villain's comic book or something, as one page might be the villain smoking L's in his dungeon and the next page he's taking over a city. The character remains, it's the setting that changes

I would love Pinata but Gibbs just doesn't have any character to him. He can rap really well but he's just not interesting enough to fill the shoes he's given.

I had to rewrite this fucking 5 times and I'm still not happy so whatever.

>"musique concrete"
I have google it and nothing pops up besides the translation to english and my mother language
only good thing i found was this, but it still doesnt give any information
http://www.musiqueconcrete.co.uk/index.htm

>>73982776
Simple music and simple songwriting done incredibly right.

>>73986310
are you stupid? i literally copy and pasted the greentext onto google and got this as the second link, right after wikipedia.

https://www.britannica.com/art/musique-concrete

>>73986310
It's music made using non-musical sources, like someone rhythmically hitting a rock against a wall.

>>73986310
Musique concrete is basically a collage of samples that vary in actual musicality. An example is fitter happier off of OK Computer.

>>73986310
Musique concrete is a genre of music made from random noises.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musique_concrète

>>73981490

one of the first rock albums to experiment with non rock instruments

things like coke cans, bike bells, etc

>>73983565
>>73983898
I'm gonna second some of what this guy said.

I think that this album focuses on young love and the sadness that accompanies the passing of time. The arrangements are very simple actually but the songwriting is incredibly emotional.

Their other album is absolute garbage btw this was a lightning strike.

>>73986031

Explain yourselves.

>>73986153
Indeed it is the one I least disliked

>>73985765
I see, the OP is about "getting" the album and it appears you already do

>>73986241
are your friends generally patient people?

>>73986462
>the fact that...


It's so much unironically technically impressive/experimental stuff dome really well on its own jammed into an album paired with absurdist songwriting that it sounds terrible and like they don't know what they are doing to a casual listener.

It's ironically bad. It's the auditory equivalent of a well crafted, nuanced shitpost.

>>73986462
Beefheart is a Rock music Duchamp. You're just supposed to pretend to like this one so others do the same.

>>73986031
>>73983158
These, desu.
>>73982776
It's a sad album. Parts of it are about Anne Frank. Others are about all kinds of other tragedies, personal and abstract. Surreal lyrics. Cool instrumentation, French horns and shit, and a lot of interesting uses of distortion on acoustic guitars and drums in folk music.

>>73985941
He said 7/10 would stick his dick in Grimes.

>>73986746
Listen to Joy Division live at Les Bains Douches 1979—it's Unknown Pleasures minus all the shitty production and + a lot more fire. No punk prior (sans Siouxsie and the Banshees debut LP) had such a dark and isolated tone. Joy Division is a "frigid" band and that's kinda cool that they were part of what created that. But Siouxise and the Banshees did it first.

Also Spiderland is one cohesive song. The lyrics, tones, rhythms, they all culminate at Good Morning Captain's shrieking I MISS YOU. It's an album of loss described through the nervous twitches of guitars, sudden distortion blasts, etc.

>>73986492
Have you tried Closer yet? Most people on here seem to like it more than Unknown Pleasures.

>>73986418
Are you joking? What about Pet Sounds says "rock" to you?

>>73981697
>I'm roger waters and i don't like playing money live because people enjoy it :(((((((

>>73981490
The arrangements are beautiful, intricate, and painstakingly crafted with unconventional instrumentation. Brian's vocal performances are incredibly heartfelt, and the lyrics are very personal/emotional. These things combine to make an album that feels innocent, honest, and heartbreaking. It helps to know Brian's story for context, real sad stuff.

I mean, it's not bad. I'm just baffled that people were throwing this around as AOTY-- let alone, AOTD. It's just a slightly above average RnB album to me.

>>73990278
One guy just wanted to create ringtones extended into songs, and thanks to a minimal production quality, he invented a beta-form of vaporwave. Surely, it has aged baddly, but it remains important for its influence.

>Writing about your life and things that shaped it is self centered and shallow

>>73991501
Webern dedicated the majority of his music to his mother and her death and you're talking about taking a top 40 rapper seriously. What a world we live in indeed.

>>73991546
Idk what genre or popularity has to do with sincere song writing

And yet you're listening to rap and over romanticizing it. There's no "winning" with you people.

I'm aware of the technicality and the subtleties of the album.

>>73991684
Yeah I listen to a pretty broad variety of stuff I like, so what if rap is included in that? What in any of my posts makes it seem like I'm over romanticizing rap? I just don't think writing sincerely about one's life in any format is shallow or self centered
