if you haven't heard this album then what on earth are you doing with your existence?
bloodthirsty butchers - no album mudai
or sambomaster - sambomaster wa kimi ni katarikakeru
both are some of my favorite albums
>>55031273
I can't imagine anyone disliking this
>>55031378
overrated and pleb tier
It's not bad, but it's not very noteworthy or exciting either, just pleasantly smooth jazz
>>55031719
cool opinion dude literally no one cares
OP's album or (sorry for small) pic related.
Of course I haven't delved very deep but they're my faves

Have you heard of this guy called Merzbow? He's this crazy artist who makes really loud and harsh noise. You should check him out. It's pretty rad.
Anyone like Nagisa Ni Te here?

All beautiful. Since you guys seem to know more about math rock, is there any good female fronted math rock other than Tricot (not necessarily japanese)?
>>55032769

>>55032769
Salt Cathedrals is indie/ math rock
Shugo Tokumaru anyone?
>>55032769
Well, there's Midori, but I don't really know if it's math rock or not
>>55032838

Aerial Camp is in between the last two, my bad.
Baby Blue and Nightcruising are great but the rest of the album is throwaway.
Can you rec me something soft and sweet that has traditional Japan feels? Like some songs on Revolutionary Pekinese Opera by Ground Zero, without all the mixings and turntablings.

This is not what I meant. I want stuffs similar to Paraiso 1 on that album but excluding all the electronic mixings and turntables elements.
This album is just fucking beautiful.

hue hue
seriously though just check out some traditional shit on wikipedia page, sure you'll find something
or see if this takashi guy from my link has some solo stuff. He probably does since he plays traditional japanese music when he doesn't team up with hawaiian slide guitarists.
I'd be tempestas by oono yuuki
>>55031273
never understood the hype behind this album, but i wish i did. mac demarco really likes it apparently and i really like mac demarco. can someone explain it?
>>55037173
Ah yeah.. but not very much. Pink is pretty fucking accesible though
sorry I kinda forgot they released like 10 albums since I listened to them a lot (now just every know and then)
>>55036467
definitely not their best album yeah. but the opening song, ずっと前, is fantastic as well
>>55037239
Fuck off, Mac
>>55037220
Yes! Thanks man I'll check this guy out.
You have the pastebin link that list all the japanese albums from different genres? Seen it before.
>>55036024
>>55032086
Shugo Tokumaru is so damn great
>>55036127
also fucking awesome
Anything by Art-School
Guys pls post japanese industrial that isn't harsh noise

How is this not mentioned
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0v9WheL4BPs
this album's really great, it genre hops all over the place
>>55037330
I love shugo but I'd say either exit or night piece is his strongest work
(night piece is more thematically cohesive but exit has better songs)
>>55036467
new person is their greatest song you retard
>>55033783
Love this album
>>55037308
lol bruh my name is actually mac. short for maclean. i actually laughed really hard thanks.
id still like an explanation of this album tho
>>55037468
Objectively false. "Woofer Girl" on Orange does everything that song wants to do, but better
>>55037433
yeah, both of those albums are stellar. port entropy would easily have my favourite if it didn't just drop off after rum hee and laminate, but at least the front half is built like a killer ep
great dreampop project
>>55037500
Fucking listen to it, moron
If you don't like it, you don't like it
If you need someone to explain why it's good, please find another hobby or go join the /pitchforkgeneral/

Not only do those songs sound nothing alike, but they are trying to accomplish two VERY different things. I seriously hope you're trolling or you have the wrong tags on your songs
>>55037715
You're gay and I like Fishmans more than you
Why don't you rate their albums, you gay
>>55037743
I had to look him up to see what you were talking about. it's interesting... like i can't stop listening to it.
>>55037715
How could you think New Person is their best song. It's so fucking lazy and unambitious. There's some neat production but that's literally all the song has going for it.
>>55037784 is me btw

Long Season from 98.12.28> All
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=USZbPvVd9A0
Seriously an amazing live performance.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_Q2Czc4asI&list=PLgxRgUqefTgFgDPXxkw6NYf7b3eDySCar&index=5
>>55037837
Unless you count long season as one song, it's nothing close to being lazy or unambitious. New person strikes the perfect balance from their catchy dub and psychedelic sides. If you want me to rank their albums, I'd say most of their earlier stuff is way too generic rock/dub, and they don't really come into their own till Orange, and even that is pretty standard. Long Season was a successful experiement and their best work, and kuchu camp is next best, then uchu nippon setagaya I guess. I haven't thought about ranking their albums before
>>55037700
This is great, where can I download/buy besides iTunes?
>>55038072
nvm, found his bandcamp
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJnolgtt62M
té is kinda math rock-ish, they're pretty alright
>>55038054
Okay you have a fair point. New Person is a good song I was just being argumentative. I still think the rest of Aerial Camp isn't enough to make it any better than Orange at most.
They're an incredible band though, if we can both agree on that
>>55038183
I figured you weren't being 100% serious
and yes we can

i've studied in classrooms for 4 years and self-studied in japan for 2
