ITT: Strange experiences after listening to albums.
Listened to this album to see what the fuss was about. Before listening to the album i was completely fine. Soon after the album was over i started feeling very disconnected to the point where my perspective on life was altered for about a month or 2. I went through everyday feeling like i was going to die or get cancer that day, even went to a doctor to get checked out a couple of times due to extreme paranoia. Im back to my original state of mind now but it felt like ages of depression and anxiety. Im actually scared to ever listen to it again evwn though it was a great album.
felt the same after i listened to yeezus
>>51626735
>>51626774
that's because they're EXTREMELY shit
>>51626735
I remember thinking this album was good when I was 15. Now that's strange.
>>51626807
Personally, I grew out of this album at 13 years of age.
>>51626838
I gave it 0.5 on RYM in 2006-7
I will never get it
>>51626853
prep to get b& m80
>>51626807
15 is pretty much the cutoff point for when you should grow out of cheap shit like GYBE.
everyone in this thread is really cool
only post in here if u're a cool kid :^)
>>51626838
>at 13
Everyone was picking at GY!BE listeners in my primary school
>>51626906
im 15 and im cool
>>51626935
haha yeah i'm cool too haha
Can we stick to the thread's topic?
>>51626974
Go away OP
>>51626906
Haha yeah im kinda cool........not to brag or anything
>>51627021
psh nothin personal......kid
>>51626974
OP, that's called depersonalisation. It's a side-effect of anxiety which usually manifests when listening to a lot of bullshit. I went through the same thing exactly a year ago after smoking Sour Diesel.
>>51626974
i listened to hospice like five times and hated it
then one day it clicked and as every song progressed i sank further and further into a ball
same thing happened with jim nollman's playing music with animals 2. that was how i got into field recordings
i listened to mr bungle's s/t in complete darkness and almost killed myself/ wanted to kill someone else
Literally everybody on /mu/ fucking hates GY!BE now
why
>>51627082
Pitchfork is not as popular as it used to be, that's why.
>>51627082
because they're shit?
>>51627046
>gets depersonalized from smoking weed
>>51627046
I smoked with my girlfriend over the weekend and this happened and it was the worst experience of my life. Any more explanations? Never had anything like that happen
>>51627082
linkin park - crescendocore edition
angsty bs for teens who want to seem "patrician"
I get a high sometimes while listening to music.
>>51627082
cuz old people are gone, the cool kids have taken over!!! xD
>>51627096
>people only like gy!be because a review site told them to
>>51627103
>they're shit
>>51627138
>they're literally linkin park
>>51627154
>memes
thanks /mu/
>>51626807
>>51626838
>>51626903
>>51626735
I went from being an elitest metal cunt, to discovering some introverted hip-hop and indie type music.
As I listened to it more and more, I became so incredibly self aware and critical of myself that i feel like I've lost any self confidence I ever had.
I'm pretty sure it's the music that did it to me.
>>51627082
it's le new maymay xD
And it's not everyone, just a bunch of contrarians who hate on anything remotely popular.
>>51627154
because only us mature adults can enjoy cheesy crescendocore, right?
>>51627203
Apparently yes.
crescendocore is buttrock for p4k readers
>>51627122
Too much weed can mirror those effects of depersonalisation.
I would say the same thing. That it was the worst feeling you've ever experienced, but then again you could change your mind and think it was good.
That's just mental trauma. You geeked out on weed and you might or might not have gotten over it.
Here's a suggestion: Keep living, don't worry about it. It goes away. Everything is real, it's just your perception is off from all that kush.
>>51627122
Oh and please, please do not try to attempt a self-diagnosis. That'll bring so much unnecessary anxiety..
>>51627116
What is being implied here?
Seriously, fuck off with this 'crescendocore' bullshit.
dismissing an album just because it gets louder at points doesn't make you cool, it makes you an elitist prick
>>51626862
wantonly giving out 0.5 ratings is pretty silly
you're more or less saying "I think there is absolutely nothing about this album I find redeemable or musically worthwhile"
even if you find it a snoozing dronefest full of pretension, surely you can at least give it credit for the performances and the moments that stood out
a 0.5 has to be really spectacularly poor, it's kind of a cop-out to throw around low ratings like that.
>>51626735
What a strange experience from music.
>>51627467
>I think there is absolutely nothing about this album I find redeemable or musically worthwhile
>really spectacularly poor
exactly, it's 2 hours of some of the worst music ever.
>>51627454
crescendocore =/= crescendos
how hard is this to understand?
>>51627082
Same reason anyone hates anything here. It gets too popular outside of the little clique of /mu/ and everyone here literally has autism so that changes the way they hear the album.
sometimes when I just stand completely still I start to feel disconnected from my body. my arms feel like attached accessories and my consciousness somehow feels like it's being pushed at the back of my head
>>51627536
>crescendocore
>doesn't mean crescendos
what the fuck
>>51627624
crescendos can be used in a way that doesn't base everything on them as a gimmick (GY!BE, EITS etc)
>>51627613
Yeah, your mind is working too hard atm probably. Or you're worrying about it too much.
>>51627602
posts like these are the worst
>>51627683
>le arbitrarily chosen chart of albums too popular to like
nice meme bro xD
>>51627509
Lift Yr Skinny Fists is less than an hour and a half
good bait though
>>51627771
Idk, it seems very accurate.
>>51627771
Can't handle the truth, buddy boy?
>>51627683
>Creed
What, no, Creed is patrician as fuk
>>51627771
To me it sounds like he's just being honest. And I would agree with him.
>>51627792
i got the length wrong at 1:30AM, sorry i guess. point still stands
>>51627771
No, the worst are dismissive posts that not only put a stop to discussion but also intentionally derail a thread that's not even dedicated to discuss that specific album.
If just looking at the cover of LYSFLATH is enough to trigger some sort of impulse to shitpost generic "lol crescendocore shit" replies no matter the context, you need to reevaluate your life.
>>51627749
Is it really? those moments appear when my mind is completely blank
>>51627913
Oh, nevermind. I thought you were the other dude who got it from the Mary Jane.
Those moments happen all the time when you're mind is blank. It's normal. I disconnect all the time, especially in public places.
>>51627925
Thats... a really good explination.
Also I don't really see how people can really hate lysf I mean it's pretty simple stuff not a whole lot to get riled up about imo. This is the first time iv actually considered accusing ppl of altering theyre opinions on an album to seem trendy.
>>51627925
>Do you honestly believe that people are changing their opinions on an album ?
Yes because they do. It's the same as the people who change their opinions based on reviews from music sites.
This happens on /mu/ all of the time. Once an album reaches "meme" status, it is talked about often enough for the people who hate it to get more attention because they are annoyed by its exposure, then these opinions spread to many other people (I'm not saying all) who start to think "oh, some of /mu/ says it sucks so it must actually suck, I was wrong." and then it snowballs.
This has happened so many times.
>>51628091
i don't want to derail the thread, but it's cheesiness taken to a extreme
>>51628104
people will obviously be a bit more critical if it's shoved in their face as a masterpiece all the time
some of it is self-moderation to make people explore more music and not be a drone, I'm sure
>>51627116
it can happen nigger
>/mu/ hates LYSF
>loves yeezus
There's literally no reason to hate LYSF. Sure, there are reasons not to personally like it, but there is no reason for people to despise it.
Prove me wrong.
>>51628231
Don't worry, Yeezus has almost reached that tipping point too. Soon everyone will say how shit it is.
>>51628236
>"it's cheesy!!"
>>51626774
Best New Tripfriend, 2 mentions of Yeezus and you liked AG:RC.
>>51628231
I dislike both.
>>51628236
I could but then I would further derail the thread. Make yr own thread about this instead of fucking with this one.
>>51628266
cool punctuation, makes me look really irrational innit?
>>51628285
you're not really saying anything to prove your theory, either
>>51628339
STOP

>>51628231
>loves yeezus
not since 2013
>>51628285
>I have never seen someone do this. Not once. Ever.
So you're saying you have never seen people on /mu/ listen to some album leaked about a week before its official release, see the majority rave about it, then someone (say Pitchfork and a few other sources) gives it a mediocre/bad review and then people start to say how it's shit? Because that happens often. Not every time, but I don't know how you can deny this happening.
>>51628526
I know a few people who would flip their opinions while being into music.
>>51628285
>Not once. Ever.
You don't remember the CHz hype?
>>51628716
I asked whether you remember the CHz hype train. Do you?
>>51628716
But they are, at least some of them.
>>51628752
damn i liked young mountain, guess i can't like it anymore
>>51628752
>Agaetis Byrjun
>shit
It's not even really post-rock; half of the songs don't even have guitars in them ffs. Do people really hate on it just because it's commonly labelled as "post-rock"? That's sad.
>>51628716
Just because you say "I don't mean to..." doesn't make it so that you aren't actually doing that. I know some people who would actually change their opinions like that too, and who also post of /mu/. So regardless of whether or not they are listening to music for music's sake (which I agree that they aren't) they are still on this site and letting other people change their opinions.
I'm not saying that what you said in >>51628526
and
>>51628591
Aren't happening, because they probably are too, but people literally changing their opinions to fit into the perceived majority actually does happen, regardless of the frequency.
>>51628752

>Best known bands of the genre on bottom
If you aren't joking by posting that I feel badly for you.

the albums on top are infinitely better than the ones on the bottom

This was during, but what the fuck ever you worthless sack of shit.
I was sitting on my back patio looking at the stars, listening to Syro, and smoking a joint. I had also eaten an edible around 40 minutes ago at this point. So the edible starts to kick in very suddenly and quickly, and before I know it, I am in fucking space. The stars look like a giant skydome, and it feels like the whole earth is flying up towards it. My whole body is twitching out of control, it feels like I'm levitating out of my chair, and then I cream in my pants.
>>51629074
so gay
>>51629116
But what if they're not matching a contrary one?
>>51628886
I asked whether you remember the CHz hype train. Do you?
I vaguely remember how after the listen-along ended, some /b/tards turned in to the sticky and started shitting on the album because they've never listened to Animal Collective before and eventually more people caught up and started shitting as well in the sticky.
Needless to say most of the people hyped for CHz weren't hyped as much for a new Animal Collective album as they were hyped for a new p4k historical landmark. From their actions I got the idea that they didn't care about Animal Collective as much as they wanted to see whether the album would end up a new /mu/core container or a generic p4k bnm lost eventually in time. The no bnm score was a surprise blow to all expectations, and the sheer over reaction of p4k fans attracted other people who didn't care about AnCo or p4k in general, and with all that CHz got cemented as a disappointment. The Scaruffi score a year later also had an effect I'd reckon.
Do you remember any of this?
>>51628351
>>51628526
umad
>>51629116
I don't think any of us have any hard "evidence" about what we think is actually occurring. It's just two hypotheses for it.
And your qt anime girl is starting to scare me.
>>51629271
Uh, everything? Educate yourself.
>>51629377
keep strokin that cock m80
>>51629271
>But what does that have to do with the price of tea in China ?
For that I would need to be versed in tea prices. I'm not versed in that, what I am versed in somewhat is general /mu/ behavior, which dictates that /mu/ doesn't treat music as music but exclusively as memes and an cultural object.
>>51629422
Is she your waifu? You have so many pictures of her.
>>51629461
He's trying to be Hampus.
Some of my experiences:
>SMASHING PUMPKINS: Siamese Dream
I went through the entire album, from front to back, in vinyl no less. After the last song, I felt exhausted, and it was a feeling I can never get from listening to a CD.
>NEUTRAL MILK HOTEL: In the Aeroplane Over the Sea
I became obsessed with this album that I started to think about Anne Frank and the horror of the Holocaust. Because of this, five years later I am a slight White Nationalist and a little skeptic of the orthodox Holocaust tales. Mangum went full SJW with this album (as well as "Little Birds") and it backfires for me.
>THE CLASH: Sandista!
This was more a painful experience to listen to all 6 sides of it in succession. I started to disown The Clash for making this album as bloated as it is.
>>51629377
Fuck you and your inferior waifu. Instead of arguing about this let's make up and watch shitty anime together.
(I'm only half joking)
>>51629488
>that image

>>51629488

>>51626791
I'm actually proud of /mu/ for not taking the b8
>>51629488
>Mangum went full SJW
what?
>>51629513
reported for announcing reporting.
>>51629535
Why did you think he showed up at Occupy?
Oh, and he was SJW before it was cool
>>51629554
kek, didn't know he showed up at Occupy
but I meant how was he SJW with ITAOTS?
>>51629511
You're talking about opinions, whereas the people I'm referring to lack any actual opinions, instead holding a placeholder where "opinion" should be until a special deity comes and decides to replace that placeholder with either a red ball or a black ball.
These people "change" opinions because they never quite were into music to begin with, instead treating it either as a fashion, a meme, a cultural icon, or all three.
>>51627116
I'm with this guy, Christ really guys? Pot is more like cigs when compared to really off the wall stuff like Acid.
>>51629588
He was SJW for 90's standards, and a communist for 50's standards.
He talks about Anne Frank like she's his waifu and had this obsession of le Shoah at the time. It's as if some suburban white kid is told about white privilege and gives in to that and cries for three weeks straight.
>>51626735
one time i listened to that album and my headphones started to feel very disconnected from my ears. it was bad and boring
GYBE sucks.
>>51629690
I didn't notice that part of your post, so yeah.
>>51627683
>divine music from a jail
>pleb
what
>>51629757
>>51629775
yeah, that's what set me off too.
I mean it's super accessible, but pleb is a serious stretch.
>>51629775
It's the go-to album for people wanting to look deep(er) and (more) sophisticated without actually trying. Doesn't mean it's a bad album.
>>51629796
ok
>>51629666
>666
heh
anyway, i guess so. i still love the album though
>>51629817
>super accessible
isn't that what pleb means?
>>51627771
He's right though. Fortunately nobody really cares what /mu/ thinks
>>51629945
You care enough to notice.
>>51630038
that's deep, you should write an album
>>51630065
ty I try
>>51630059
Did you really write that whole thing in three minutes?
>>51630089
Are you this fucking new?

muh tortoise
muh first wave
>>51626735
Listen to the album again lel
>>51630113
I've been here for like two years but haven't seen that before. Maybe I'm just blind or autistic.
>>51630105
Or maybe I am new because I don't know what this is either.
Guess I should go ask /mu/ to spoonfeed me music now.

So you became a Nationalist because a signer of some band you like has slightly liberal views? You might want to seek professional help.

I agree with a lot of what you've said ITT, but you take /mu/ way too seriously, friend. Calm down.

whenever i listen to Geogaddi i have a nightmare that i'm murdered by my little brother. it's the same dream every time and it sucks because it's my favorite album
>>51630509
I know it's pasta, I was talking about the whole thread. This place is getting to you.

>>51630832
ikr its like a bird playing guitar
>>51630863
it totally is
everyone check out this kickass album cover
>>51630857
No.
Anime reminds me of my old best-friend. I'll probably just start crying whenever I start to watch one.
I wish I was joking.
>>51630954
I just was an immature, selfish asshole and threw her friendship and love away and now I have no one. Not even my shitty escapist animu because it reminds me of all of the great times we spent together before I fucked it all up.
And to keep it /mu/ related:
>tfw you can't listen to great music that reminds you of your qt anymore
>>51631287
Really? What happened with you? Just curious because It's been almost 6 months now and it just seems to be getting worse day by day
>>51631432
Yeah I tried to get back together with her but she understandably refused.
But believe me I've been trying to move on. Especially since she has already moved on. I think the hardest part is the fact that I was the one who fucked it up. I was the one who broke her heart and now I regret it. I hate the feeling of hurting someone I cared about, that's always been my biggest fear so naturally that's probably why it's been so hard for me and why everything reminds me of her.
Oh well, this is just me bitching. Everyone says it'll get better with time but so far it has just gotten exponentially worse for months and months.
Dear Diary,
Today, Friendo was actually pretty cool.

But why did you have to delete his posts mr mod? ;_;
>>51626735
Listened to this album to see what the fuss was about. Before listening to the album i was completely fine. Soon after the album was over i started feeling very connected to the point where my perspective on life was altered for about a month or 2. I went through everyday feeling like i was in love or tripping on acid that day, even went to a doctor to get checked out a couple of times due to extreme paranoia. Im back to my original state of mind now but it felt like ages of happiness and contentment. Im actually looking forward to listening to it again it was a great album.
>>51633329
Avatars, I guess.
>>51633412
damn...
If I could erase any album from my memory it would be this one. Dad always used to play this any chance he had and I have no idea what it's like to listen to this for the first time. It sounds cliche as all hell but this album is really part of me.
Winter 2009. Spent a whole night just listening Congratulations (MGMT). It just made me so damn sad for some reason. That whole december was really sad for me for no reason.
>>51626735
What a horrible thread this was.
>>51626735
OP is like a hyperbole of how SFTB affected me
