Maybe it has something to do with it being overrated and shitty LOL
I'm beginning to have this creeping suspicion that people like Grimes for her Manic Pixie Dream Girl thing she has going on. You can't sit here and tell me this is good, this is fucking retarded.

any animal collective and death grips.
I have gave several listenings to each, but they're horrible

>>75002438
I like Talking Heads but I can't stand this album even if it's considered as one of their best

>>75002584
I actually liked Kid A, but those are the only two albums by them I've heard.

In a way I kinda hate OKC because it's the reason mainstream rock became so clean and bland (like Coldplay, Muse, The Killers).

this
I only liked AMSP and TKoL

I like stuff like Beach House, Animal Collective, Fleet Foxes, Arcade Fire...

So you would think Grizzly Bear would be right up my alley, right?

Well, let me tell you something.

>>75002678
EXACTLY

Grizzly Bear is lumped with all that goodness because it's from the same time period but it's just garbage. Garbage. I don't particularly care for Arcade Fire either.

>>75002615
It has good moments but it's nothing special in general

Radiohead is nothing more than okay, it's boring and kinda gay

Sure it "clicked" I guess. Only that it clicked in my realization that it's a 6 at best.

Lyrics are alright I guess but there's countless albums that have done the lo-fi post rock better

So which Misfits albums are the good ones? I feel like everything Scaruffi said about Bowie's shallow aesthetic actually does apply to Misfits.

>>75003500
This, I'm huge into punk but I've never listened to a Misfits song that made me think anything better than "this isn't bad"

Hip Hop bores me so much. I can dig the delivery of some lines but I don't care about lyrics themselves and the concept of the beat is retarded. But I like minimal synth and motorik based kosmiche, so maybe I'm just biased

I didnt listen to them for a while and now I cant stand thom yorkes creepy face on every song.

>>75007076
yes, it's called "moved on". I listened A Moon Shaped Pool like 10 times within 2 days and loved it to death when it got released. Since then haven't touched it, and don't feel like doing it

>>75002654
The only one of their albums that has clicked for me was Meat Is Murder. I pretend the s/t track doen't exist.

>>75003719
yeah bro all catchy music is good :^)

How exactly do these albums not "click". They're pretty straightforward and accessible. Unless you mean you just don't like it?

>>75007186
Catchy and innovative like motherfuckin' Kraftwerk. And besides, good or bad are subjective.

Never really got laughing stock or SoE. I enjoy them but pic related is one of my favourite albums so idk why they never clicked.

>>75003545
definitely the best live version on the album

>>75007845
I'm the same way. Hex is an all-time favorite but Talk Talk never captured that sense of atmosphere and empty space, even though they're technically similar.

>>75006891
It's kind of like the earthworm jim of /mu/ core in terms of how polarizing it is, you either love it, or you hate it

>>75007705

>>75006911
Finally someone who agrees. Fucking hate this album desu.

>>75007845
>>75007930
I prefer Hex too, but I don't think Talk Talk is so similar. Those albums are less focused on atmosphere, and aren't as dark. You guys might like Mark Hollis' solo album more, even though it's pretty similar to SoE and LS

No idea why /mu/ creams itself over RiL

>>75006632
operation doomsday is not the same as this. This album paints its story and themes more broadly than other DOOM albums.

>>75007968
I did. Oblivion is on par with Autobahn. Like Kraftwerk, Grimes makes groovy and hyper-catchy music.

The weird part is that I consider shoegaze "my" genre, yet have never been able to get into the godfather that birthed hundreds of imitators and basically laid the cornerstone.It just comes off as too loud (not in a dense dreamy way like Souvlaki, just grating) and noisy, while the songwriting is nothing to write home about, inconsistent stylistically. Inconsistent mixing too, which is a big pet peeve of mine.

>>75003470
This one took a long time for me. Don't look at it as a post-rock album (it barely is), it's more like a really unique and minimal post-hardcore album. Nothing else has that distinctive creepy tension of the Nosferatu Man riff or the dark vibe of the spoken word vocals.

>>75008053
Grimes doesn't make anything close to groovy and hyper-catchy music

>>75006911

I think the magic in this one is in appreciating the performance. There's a raw intimacy about it and and you kind of just caught up in the passionate energy of it all, especially with Jeff's vocals who often sounds like he's giving it his absolute all.

>>75008009
The OMG SUICIDAL DEPRESSION aspect is overblown to hell by redditors
The main appeal for me is the unique production. It's horrible from any technical standpoint, but ends up working and gives it a raw, cavernous sound that works so well with the gloomy shoegaze and post-punk sound they have. No other band sounds like them

>>75008108
>he didn't listen to her music
I dare you to listen to this song all the way till the end: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qsbiyvpel54

>>75008212
would you believe me if i told you ive heard 3 of her albums and simply didn't like any of them?

>>75008079
I used to think Loveless's pop writing was eh and not nearly as good as their earlier work, but then I heard some acoustic covers of the tracks and realized a lot of the melodies could hold up on their own. Not sure what you mean by inconsistent stylistically but the inconsistent mixing is a detractor for me as well.

>>75008268
I would believe you. Would you believe me if I'd tell you that her music could grow on you if you would listen to it more than once?

It only has 2 or 3 tracks I like, everything else is boring and underdeveloped

>>75008384
It's just long jams that sound nice and are easy to get lost in. There isn't much to get. Follow the music with your mind like you would do with any other music

>>75008079

Loveless is sort of this paradoxical mixture of blissout vibes and noisy textures that almost sounds impossible, noise rock of this caliber shouldn't sound this sweet and melodic. It's like it took Psychocandy's feedback buried pop and synergized the two concepts together like they're at peace instead of one smothering the other. There's been sweeter and there's been noisier but few, if any bands have been able to marry the concept like Loveless did. But yeah, the songwriting really wasn't the focus of the album and it shows, anyone wanting songcraft instead of pure textural bliss would be better served by many other acts in the genre. Hell, they'd probably be better served by Isn't Anything. As for mixing, I don't really have much of an issue with it aside from maybe What You Want which clearly has some volume fuckery going on. I've not kept too much of an ear out for that kind of inconsistency, though.

Do people rate this album highly because it was innovative? I find it quite boring

>>75008380

Jazz-influenced improvisation meets innovative sampling approaches. It's basically controlled chaos: the album and it kinda ends up standing at the edge of what a rock album can and can't be, it's way out there.

>>75008527
I agree. The songs just kinda... blend together and are barely distinguishable aside from maybe Sloop John B and Caroline, No

Talking Heads clicked and then declicked for me. Just can't do it anymore

this album didn't click until i went to my cottage one summer and had this album on my ipod. i went with my family, but i woke up one morning at 5 in the morning and went outside and skipped rocks on the lake with a light fog on it while listening. the theme of isolation being a drug became very clear to me upon that listen and i've loved it ever since

You could listen to their pre-Soundtracks albums. The Great Annihilator and Children of God are particularly accessible efforts. Even then, the repetitive mantras don't really go away, they're just shorter. Post-rock Swans are absolute behemoths when it comes to that shit though so I don't entirely blame you. Not everything they've done are 2 hour monsters though.

>>75008825
Start with neofolk/gothic swans. White Light, The Great Annihilator, Children of God are all easy listens for the most part and not too long.

>>75008430
I kind of agree, but the atmosphere it creates is nice. Don't look for the rest of the songs to click, just appreciate the mood
>>75008903
Man, I really can't understand, that album seems pretty immediately appealing to me. The riffs are really good, and there's a great tone to it, with the fuzz and tape distortion. I went into it assuming it'd be shoegaze-y or slow core-y, but it really isn't. It just has a vaguely slow core sound to the riffs and cool production, but doesn't really emphasize it enough to be judged by either genre's standards

For an album touted for its balls to the wall energy it sure does feel like it hits peak crazy at On Sight and quickly tapers off after New Slaves. Honestly, I expected more shit like Feedback and Freestyle 4 from TLOP on this thing.

I'm a sucker for "/mu/core" and these never did much for me. They're all decent, but nothing special. I have listened to Madvillainy many times over roughly 8-9 years and I still don't see how it's lauded so much.

Also pic related more than any I quoted.

>>75009301
Not sure what there is to "click" here. Even if you don't get the lyrics it's still a pretty enjoyable folk album

>>75003528
i think hip hop is meant to have a simple beat to let the lyrics and delivery shine through, if you dont care about lyrics that maybe why you dont like it

>>75009383

I've always liked UP but it clicked harder than usual one quiet night for me. It's production is very distant and dystopian, it's one of those records that shines when you detach yourself from the world for its duration and just let its mood do its thing. Granted, even with all that Closer is still superior so fuck it, just listen to that instead.

>>75003403

I agree, clear spot and safe as mill are what you recommend to people when you think they aren't open enough for trout mask and they're really good.

>>75003500
Static Age is phenomenal IMO.
Also just the song Cough/Cool (both versions) is one of my favorites
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J5qWtSWBSMA

>>75002552
Don't understand how people can say this is better than Kid A

>>75002438
Same for me. Big fan of Talking Heads, big fan of African music but I think this album is godawful. They ape the overrated hack Fela Kuti too much so you just have a bunch of repetitive ugly noodling poly-rhythms with no energy or excitement

A better experiment with Afropop is a song like Nothing But Flowers

>>75008817
>this didn't click until i got really fucking depressed to the point where i wasn't even sad anymore, i was just numb
I think this is part of the problem. So many of these listless or sadcore albums just don't work when you're happy. It got to the point where I'd actually get kind of excited when depression hit, because then I could catch up on my backlog

>>75002552
Wowza this is babby's intro to click-core

>>75002615
Perfect analysis

>>75014490
Do acid or shrooms you geek

>>75014490
>Post rock is supposed to click
It's an instrumental genre for the most part, its trying to make you feel with instruments. Clearly classical music hasn't "clicked" for you either.

>>75003470
lo-fi? have you heard the album? it sounds great

>>75022492
nah classical works just fine, post-rock makes no sense.

>>75009567
the reason i love doom is his rhyming and delivery

seriously. i feel like Charles Mingus' even the worst album is much much better than this.

>>75023697
You've got to appreciate bop to a certain extent to get this album, unlike Mingus' albums that don't draw as much from bop

>>75023743
how can i appreciate bop? any recommendations?

one thing we can all agree on is that Everything Now was dogshit

>>75009678

>>75008430
like other anons have pointed out, you really have to be in the right headspace for this album.
>>75013093
fuck you senpai
>>75016160
listen to Painting With... first, it's more accessible and is better in my opinion
>>75023627
it's overrated and it's not for everyone

>>75023766
Other than learning how to play it, checking out the history of it will probably help you see how groundbreaking a Love Supreme is (apart from the fact that it just sounds great and you can feel Coltrane's emotions through his horn).

Now, into bop, how it works is melody at the beginning, solo section where every soloist in the group solos one at a time.

Start with Charlie Parker. This is bebop.

I'd probably then go into hard bop like Go by Dexter Gordon, Moanin by Art Blakey, Relaxin by Miles Davis. Also check out Giant Steps by Coltrane.

You'll see the transisition to this new sound with Coltrane's My Favourite Things.

You should be ready for A Love Supreme then. A Love Supreme isn't bop's final form but is probably Coltrane's peak before he started experimentig with free playing.

shit this was a long post, sorry guys

but how? Once you realize the chaos and musical shitposting is intentional it becomes hilarious but still pretty groovy too. I guess it's the clashing notes and two minute half baked song structures that put people off. I loved it immediately.

>>75024375
nice analysis shithead, next time instead just stating that an album is horrible, give some kind of critique or reasoning

>>75008430
This is unironically one of my favorite albums, and for it to click you really need to be alone and in a state that allows you to be vulnerable to the atmosphere it creates.

>>75024771
I agree. For me it was really late at night when I was all alone

>>75006911
It clicked for me, then lost me after the title track.

I love almost everything Swans (and Angels of Light) have done before and including My Father Will Guide Me Up A Rope to the Sky, yet these three never quite clicked, which is strange because of how many people think they're masterpieces. I don't really like Cop either, but that's about it.

Oh, you don't care about a new compositional and improvisation technique developed by Coltrane? If you don't have a grasp of music theory of it or music theory in general, it's no wonder why you don't like the album.

I personally don't enjoy any full Misfits release, but imo they have some great standalone songs. Hybrid Moments especially is one of my favourites, and something I suggest you checking out if you haven't already. If that one clicks give a listen to the Static Age album, it has other great tunes in it too.

>>75016160
This clicked right away when I just sat on my floor contemplating my future. Its not a 10/10, but its certainly a quality record if you just let the music swallow you til you're lost in the sound.

>>75026567
Out of the latest Swans trilogy, I actually enjoy Glowing Man the most, The Seer is a close second yet can't get To Be Kind to click at all. Anyone else here on the same boat?

I just feel like Glowing Man took on the most precious concepts and ideas of TBK and polished them to be even better.

Sounds like they left the gain too high by accident and just went with it.

A mess of an album overall. Shit band as well, not a single one of their songs sounds good.

>>75017487
Not even Heroin? If that is the case you will probably never like it.

>>75024771
i dont usually like "do x while listening to x album for it to click" posts but i think being alone/feeling isolated at least greatly helps with this one

>>75013093
i like this one, but people seem to like it so much more than i ever will or thought others would if i didnt know

>>75014007
I like the instrumentals but the vocals make me cringe

>>75003470
It's creepy, has really cool, mathy drumming, and they really fall into a groove now and then that's sort of transfixing.
>>75006891
Same here. Came to the conclusion that it's just musical shitposting, and I'm not on that level of irony yet.
>>75006911
Took two listens for me. But I already like indie folk. Nothing I can say about it that other anons haven't said yet.
>>75008079
Eh, I eventually came around to it, but even now I don't get the hype.
>>75008430
It's just super cozy my guy. Like, fireplace, blanket, and hot cocoa on a snowy day type of cozy. Very somber, sad, but not in a crushing, overbearing way, like Hospice or something. Lot of really surreal noise elements that make each track feel like a different dream your mind drifts to while you sleep. One of my favorites.
>>75009383
I've listened to this half a dozen times, and it always bores me, but I love post punk and goth. You're not alone.
>>75013093
It's catchy and funky. I don't know if it deserves the praise it gets though.
>>75014007
Really emotional, uplifting, dramatic melodies, very clean, reverb heavy "shoegaze" guitar mixing has a unique sound when paired with the screaming and heavy, fast drumming. Genre subverting. But also a little boring, and songs tend to drag on.
>>75014343
I'm sorry for whatever happened that made you relate to the lyrics, man. This was a great one time experience, but,I feel like it has little replay value.
>>75014490

>>75016160
This was the only /mu/core album sans TMS that actually annoyed me while listening to it. I actively disliked it.
>>75017665
Really? That surprises me. When I first heard this album, the opening track was enough to blow my mind. Every song is so melodic and pretty, and his voice is so soft.
>>75018696
I love emo, but this album used to bore me. Then I got more into mathy stuff, and relistened to this while focusing on the drums a little more. Instantly got it.
