hey dad, how ya been?
not even kidding
someday someone will agree with me
>>54455041
I've only heard notm yet which for me was very close to perfect. Can't wait to hear the other half, I hope it's as good as people say.
>>54455025
>implying there's anything wrong with listening to old music
>>54454242
>>54454385
pink floyd sucks
>>54454406
REM is just decent
>>54454750
pretty good album, but not perfect
>>54455041
Listen to The Money Store instead
>>54455218
Jenny Death is a lot more "raw" - sounds kinda like an amalgamation of all of their past works, in the best way.
>>54455315
>The Money Store
Don't get me wrong, it's a great record, but I think that Powers beats it out in pretty much every aspect. What'd you like about TMS that you didn't find on the new one?
>>54455041
100% agreed

No

9/10 because of money
>>54454469
Good but not perfect
>>54454750
good but not perfect
>>54455041
yeah no
Stop throwing around perfect so loosely.
>>54455872
Stop taking perfect so seriously.
>>54455911
Not my fault all the albums have flaws.
>>54455930
"Perfect albums" translates to "albums you really fucking like and for all intents and purposes can't find anything you dislike about them" for all but the most hardcore autists, such as yourself.
>>54455977
Perfect isn't based on one persons opinion. if you really thought that then you'd buy it if someone told you that Lana Del Rey and Disturbed had perfect albums?
>>54456032
To that individual, they are perfect. But to you or me, they aren't. Why do you care so much about other people's opinions?
>>54456067
Because theyre shit and im better
>>54456032
What are you even saying? I'd buy it if I considered it perfect, yeah. People are posting albums they consider perfect in this thread but nothing is perfect so pointing that out is dumb. This is a stupid argument, so just post your favourite record or whatever.
>>54454242
>>54454385
Fantastic albums, especially WYWH.
>>54454406
Best R.E.M.
>>54454469
>>54454750
Great albums too but I don't listen to them as much.
>>54455041
Good but far from perfect. Niggas is 7.5/10, JD is 8.5/10 imo.
>>54456101
Probably the best record of its kind, I think. Maybe I just haven't listened to much else but nothing really compares.
>>54456099
The argument against my post was that "perfect is just albums you really like" which is a fucking retarded argument. If that's the case then any fucktard who likes some shitty album makes it a perfect album.
>>54456222
well this is productive.
>>54456253
moar poasts please
>>54456458
Fuck these threads. It's either
A. People posting the same fucking mucore every time
B. Some hipster posting their new greatest discovery that they want the world to hear so they proclaim it as a perfect album
C. The flavor of the month album
![220px-JonHopkinsImmunityAlbumCover[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/0C9ouUo.jpg "220px-JonHopkinsImmunityAlbumCover[1].jpg")
theres a lot of albums that are pretty good or just good. but not perfect
this is my choice pic related
>>54454242
yes
>>54454385
maybe i dont like money
>>54456530
who cares? i still find new music in these threads from time to time.
>>54456532
agree. 10/10
>>54456614
>Who cares
You're right. Lets just give 10/10's to every album. A's on every test.
>>54456655
there's no need to be upset
It's perfect to me and that's all that matters.
>>54456885
This is seriously the most beta album ever made.
That being said, it's kind of hard to deny that it's pretty great.
>>54457105
Cuck spotted
>>54456697
kek
>>54454242
the middle 3 tunes are shite, so it's like a 2/5, probably even less if you use runtime as a metric.
>>54454385
Post Ummagumma Floyd is bland and boring 4/10 at best.
>>54454750
Not even as good as F#A#
>>54455041
NotM is a 4/10
Jenny Death is a 3/10
So the album is a 7/20.
>>54457006
BANGING THIS SHIT RIGHT NOW
>>54457136
Elaborate.
>>54456190
DJ Shadow is better.
Even fucking Vektroid of all people managed to outdo them.
>>54456532
The club segments are 8/10, would drop all of them at multiple nights right after each others, the ambient bits suck.
I wish it would've been an EP.
>>54456697
It's a good album, but mainly a meme.
>>54456697
This is actually true
>>54457302
it was an album fist. this site bastardizes everything.
>>54457006
Honestly? I've genuinely been meaning to get into some Ciara.

>>54455257
yup.

>>54454816
I love you. kiss me
>>54457472
Loose is way better in my opinion. Dat Timbaland prod. Promiscuous Girl and Do It are both contenders for the best modern pop songs ever.
>>54457245
Not OP of that skinny fists post but I think F#A# and fists are both perfect in their own ways
F#A# does a better job of creating an apocalyptic/hopeless atmosphere, and skinny fists does a better job of just all-around catharsis
>>54456764
Nice meme
>>54458051
solid poast
>>54457934
I posted the Lift Yr. Skinny Fists picture. When I was getting into God's-pee I was into F#A# a lot and preferred it to Skinny fists, but a few years later I find Skinny fists much more re-listenable, full of interesting motifs and of greater value artistically. F#A# is amazing record mainly because of the atmosphere but Skinny fists take me on a spiritual journey - and the ending is incredibly cathartic, as you said. It's like F#A# is about the apocalypse in the material world and Skinny Fists about the spiritual dimension of that event, if you know what I mean.

>jesus was black because this scripture said his hair was like cotton candy
please, tell me more of your compelling arguments mr. crazy black person with an Arab name, because the ethnicity of jesus is totally relevant to the current racial tension in the USA and calling jesus a cracker is super duper productive
Other than that, it was really good and IMO the best of 2014
>>54458786

Yes.

I don't hate them, but they're definitely not as refined. And not even the same genre. Which is fine, but I wish he had further explored the murky ambient shit he was doing before.

this album pretty much defined my early 20s
>>54464841
I can agree with this
>>54465127
Yes, actually
Lazarus isn't, but this is
This is the most transgressive album in the mainstream since it came out. Not that Marilyn Manson/Slipknot "grills wont fuk and am sad, herez muh murder fantsies" bullshit, actual shit like human trafficking, protesting, and heroin addiction.
If you don't think a song comparing penetrating a virgin and making her bleed in your teens to penetrating your arm with a heroin needle in your 20s and watching the blood trickle down your arm. You might not get it. Shit's deep as fuck though, even with the fratboy love.
This shit would never get on the radio today.

>>54465576
>>54465394
I was not. Despite being an old shitty tripfag, too obscure to be mentioned on any but one tripfag rating chart one summer, in my old age I don't always have as much time for /mu/.
Though drake and josh step-incest shipping on an album cover is very /mu/, as we're all 16 year old girls in 2006 here.
>>54465991
It wasn't about the man who was known as Jesus?
Or did you mean: Jesus... it wasn't about the man!
Punctuation in the English, language is confusing "as fuck'.
>>54466172
It's a play on words.
He's saying it wasn't about the man, then sighing "Jesus" at the end, which is used in America to imply someone is going too far about something.
This is also a pun though, because you're both speaking about Jesus.
Either way, everyone is fucking wrong. Jesus probably looked like a Palestinian.
Varg Vikernes would be ashamed of both of you for supporting some dumb desert religion if you're a european mound-fucker.
>>54466006
Interesting opinion. Objectively wrong, but interesting nevertheless. I respect that.
>>54466303
>another scripture said he looks like a smiley bearded motherfucked often posted by edgy /mu/ shitposters
>>54466411
>edgy
You're missing the point of the Varg-obsession.
It's equal parts "Musical Genius" and Chris-chan level autistic trainwreck. Gotta love the videos where he claims he doesn't hate blacks anymore because (somehow) them speaking Indo-European languages means they get to be Europeans too if they live a traditional lifestyle and only fuck black people. I never thought I'd see Varg make a "I'm not racist guys, I just love muh ancestors" play in a vlog on youtube. You can't write this shit.
Pic related and "The Idler Wheel..." are two albums that I actually just listened to for the first time and I think are 10s.
>>54466648
fucking Fiona man... that album is so good. I'd high five her for doing such a great job, but she looks so malnourished I'm afraid she might shatter into pieces.
>>54466648
I don't know, I might hold Mule Variations higher.
Also, pic related.
>>54466840
I know it's cliched and pleb, but this is literally the perfect jazz album. Every note is perfect.
It sucks how he sold out and went electric to stay relevant.
>>54466827
I haven't really gotten too far into Waits' catalog, so I can't say. I've just listened to Rain Dogs and Blood Money, and I'll probably do Swordfishtrombones next. I've just been listening to a lot of singer-songwriter stuff lately. I listened to The Good Son for the first time yesterday and holy shit, that's a fantastic album.
>>54466827
I'm a huge Nick Cave fan, but I think that's one of his weaker albums.
Any1 ever hear the band Radiohead? It a little underground group, u probably are not "with it" enough 2 have yeard. But they are 10/10 god tier, the ebst band ever, that and QUeen the band.
Happy to help
>>54466896
Correct
>>54466884
At the risk of responding to bait, that was what was relevant at the time. Miles has always been about exploring new territory.
>>54464442
just found out about this album a few days ago... been listening to it a lot....
An album I'm very passionate about.
>>54464442

>>54464442
Born To Die is complete shit. I thought Video Games was amazing until the rest of the album came out and I realized it wasn't supposed to be an ironic or depressing song, she's just a fucking awful female role model and lyricist.
Lana Del Rey is not a bad girl, she didn't even shave the side of her head, god.
>>54466827
>>54466922
Here's a better one.
>>54459373
It's not that bad
>>54466973
It's not bait.
Do you think Miles went electric because he was "experimenting"?
Top kek. He did it because jazz wasn't popular anymore.
I'm not saying his late 60s and 70s stuff is bad. It's just nowhere near on the same level as his earlier stuff.
I'm not fucking joking. These motherfuckers hit harmonies that are superhuman and Louvin's god is a vindictive motherfucker who isn't afraid to kill drunk's families to teach the drunk a lesson about Jesus.
One Gospel/Bluegrass/Country album has never been at the same time so brutal and so beautiful, especially one created by someone who once turned down a chance to tour with Elvis in his prime because he'd "Never get on a bus with a nigger lover".

What's the appeal of goreshit?
Is it just shock?
He always struck me as a DJ Sharpnel/M1dy imitator, but with no talent, and ridiculous shock tactics in place of Sharpnel's anime porn covers that were definitely graphic, but not remotely loli.

I'd argue In A Silent Way is far more delicate in it's "every note" perfection than Kind of Blue, I love KoB, but I think to disregard his entire electric era as a move to stay relevant is a really basic viewpoint.

Easily best gangsta rap album in years. Freddie Gibbs is underrated, but making an album with Madlib got his name out and he's finally getting some shine. Not much tho.
COME IN HERE DEAR BOY, HAVE A CIGAR YOUR GONNA GO FAR
>>54456253
Ehhhhh. Easily an 8, but not perfect. REA definitely has a perfect album in him. Teen suicide is a lost cause tho. Last julia brown album was pretty up there.

Here's my personal 10/10 album.
>>54455041
The only album i've ever listened to where i didn't dislike a song.
>>54465399
I love this shit. I used to never understand how a person could do this to their ears, but then I grew ears. They have at least one live, recorded concert that I saw (only one I've seen) and that was eye opening as well. It's impossible to say it enough: can't fake the funk.
>>54472104
Holy shit yes. This album is just so utterly amazing. The guitar solo in Wind of the Night Forests is one of the best solos in all of music.

Not that it wouldn't be good independently, which it would have, but they released Colors prior, which is probably the best prog metal effort in recent memory. I will say in advance I don't really care for Devin Townsend's solo efforts; I think they're a bit pretentious. Strapping Young Lad had some good tracks though.

Most people I show MHTRTC either don't get it or simply don't like it, so I don't fault you.

Hard for me to describe. Struck me hard at the right time, I guess. I'm moved heavily by instrumental music that conveys emotion, or at least tangible meaning, and MHTRTC does that for me. I wasn't aware of why I loved it so much at the beginning, but over the years I've tried to rectify that sort of nebulous appreciation in my mind and that's kind of how I rationalize it. While being very expressive, it's very impersonal (don't want to say inhuman, because that's not true). I identify with expressive, yet impersonal stuff on a lot of levels, though I dabble in everything.

It's an amazing album but not perfect.

I should have also included that you're entitled to your own opinion. This is a perfect album thread, implying massive subjectivity, and I'm not going to argue with you on The Chan

if you are looking at it from a musician's standpoint, sure parallax is more impressive, but theres nothing behind it. BTBAM is getting increasingly more shallow. I think the genre-bending in colors was the start to that.

>but theres nothing behind it. BTBAM is getting increasingly more shallow.
that's what i initially thought. listen to it more. they're gotten way better from colors onward.

Colors was too good in that regard. The fusion was pretty seamless, and simply existing it implied the idea of possible continuation. The one after was shit, only had Swim to the Moon (which was quite good tho, honestly) and Parallax II seemed like grasping for a life preserver
>>54455872
agreed about money
As close to an album as he's made so far
>>54473584
>>54474538
swim to the moon and selkies are my two favorite tracks that happen to come off my two least favorite albums
>>54474517
they're definitely not bad by any stretch of the imagination, all of BTBAM's work is phenomenal, but for me its S/T>Colors>Silent Circus>Parallax i&ii>Alaska

What is this? An image for ants?
