Isn't this thing a fucking masterpiece?
Indeed it is
the overlooked masterpiece
I'll keep shilling this till /mu/ acknowledges it
but that's not Spirit of Eden
>>74616185
I don't get it
>>74616261
strong 9/10
>>74616261
it's only worth is as a reference point for how far they leapt creatively with the last two albums. at least colour of spring had a few good tracks.

>it's only good if it's innovative
>>74616563
no it's only good if it's good. the first two albums are dire.
>>74616587
ur gay
mmm love the jazz drums on this albume
>>74616185
It's absolutely fucking wonderful. I cannot find a single flaw - it's perfect.
Mark Hollis' solo album is absolutely stunning too. He was definitely a creative genius, would pay any money to see him and a band perform just Laughing Stock live in its entirety.

that's you talking about your mom, right?
>>74618166
Shouldn't you be working on homework?
>>74618410
lol calm down kiddo
>>74616434
>at least colour of spring had a few good tracks
fucking understatement, that album is near perfect
>>74616185
>this thing
I know you got this from Anthony Fuckface. It devalues art to refer to a record as "this thing". Stop it.
>>74616587
Wrong.
Childhood is discovering Talk Talk on /mu/ and worshiping Spirit of Eden/Laughing Stock because they were a major departure from the band's previous sound
Adulthood is realizing they were the most sophisticated synthpop act of the 80s

art is a thing
>>74618437
>>74618166
You're the absolute worst. Everything wrong with the board and definitely a dumb seppo phone poster
>>74618562
blown the fuck out pussy
>>74618495
>the most sophisticated synthpop act of the 80s
3/10 made me chuckle
>>74618495
mac demarco invented synth actually
>>74618697
Compared to other bands at the time they took themselves very seriously
>>74618869
>sophistipop didnt happen
Kek
>>74618869
you're a fucking idiot and i doubt you were even alive at that point
>>74616185
Thats one of those rare albums I loved on my initial listen and liked less with each subsequent listen. Its kind of meh to me now
>>74618953
Shouldn't you be listening to Duran Duran right now you little girl?
>>74616434
Post-Rock albums are already worshiped to death here and are worth a dime a dozen. An actually well put together 80's synthpop album is like finding a rare diamond
>>74616658
>would pay any money to see him and a band perform just Laughing Stock live in its entirety.
I would literally pay my life to see that
Let's not forget that this underrated masterpiece exists as well
>>74616185
When the organ cuts out on New Grass and you're given a seconds to reflect on what you just heard.
If you could condense the sight of a sunset into a song, it'd probably sound like New Grass
Not gonna lie, I'm not too crazy about Laughing Stock's bookending tracks. The 4 tracks inbetween though? Heavenly.
