Albums you don't get, other people go "wtf, why don't you like that album?" and then you talk about it.
>the Microphones - the Giraffe Album
I think it becomes just dull and boring after "The Roots Are Strong And Deep"
>HANL - Deathconsciousness
The drums sound like shit. I know they're supposed to sound like shit, but that doesn't mean I have to like them.
>Swans - any early material except for Filth
For some reason I like Filth, but stuff like Cop or Young God EP (maybe there's slightly more midrange EQ'd in on the Filth tracks? I'm not sure) sounds kinda shitty to me right now.
>Kanye West - 808s and Heartbreaks
There are some nice pop cuts, but a lot of the later album is just kinda dull.
>Since the other thread is fucked, and it's still a nice thread idea overall anyway

It's slow and boring, I just don't get the appeal.
Any Titus Andronicus
Just sounds like glorified New Jersey dadrock
>>60266370
desu i get bored after the first track finishes the actual music
i don't understand the appeal of random background noises and whatnot
>stuff like Cop or Young God EP (maybe there's slightly more midrange EQ'd in on the Filth tracks? I'm not sure) sounds kinda shitty to me right now.
Think of Cop as the Swans trying to be the heaviest thing of all time. Act like you're being squashed by every inch of the ground.
>Dull
If this is the problem no one can help you.
Get over it.
>>60266370
Yeah, I don't really get the appeal of GY!BE in general, apart from maybe Slow Riot, which is more accessible.
I never got why everybody this is one of the best albums of all time
>>60266535
*why everybody says
>>60266535
It's good.
It's breathtakingly average
>>60266370
It really requires that you be in a comfortable environment and demands all of your attention.
>>60266578
Prolly just not your thing
>>60266557
but why do people call it the best?
i just wasn't really into it
i guess i could try it again
>>60266601
It's a joke
>>60265810
The Pixies' discography is subpar at best, why does everyone suck their dicks?
>>60266601
You need to listen to early Beefheart and study abstract art a bit more.
>>60266601
Focus on the percussion.
Also get into early 60s blues rock stuff.
soundtracks for the blind is boring and far too long
>>60266900
So you're saying it's Led Zeppelin but with some random bangs in the background.
>>60266847
there aren't many bands that walked the line between noise, math and pop that well in their milieu
altho if u wanna rec me some that'd be nice

I seriously want to like the Microphones, but I really can't get into the second half of the Glow Pt. 2. I did enjoy Mt. Eerie, though, and while I appreciate that album a lot more as a whole, I enjoyed the earlier parts of the Glow even more. Any recs? Honestly, it doesn't even have to be the Microphones at this point, any similar record by some other band would do, so long as it's like some workable mishmash between the first half of the Glow pt. 2 and Mt. Eerie.
>>60267155
You'd like It Was Hot by The Microphones, and check out Mount Eerie Pts.6&7 it's very looked over but is one of Phil's bests.
>>60267210
>Mount Eerie Pts.6&7
Wait, what? Are those demos or something? Are they on his bandcamp?
>>60267242
Just look it up the mega on /mu/ archive, it's not demos, just a continuation with some catchy songs and an amazing drone metal bit at the end.

>mfw i got a friend's gf into this band
>mfw we're going to see them live together soon
>mfw we're both into each other but can't break the bros before hoes rule
>>60266370
same, I liked fa infinity tons more
>>60266797
nervous young man and my back is killing me baby are great places to start. that album is overrated and really not his best work.
>>60266410
This. I really liked lift yr skinny fists up until the speech samples. I don't understand why someone would include something so non musical and out of place in their songs
>>60267620
>non-musical
plebeian as hell
>>60267620
It's for the sake of building atmosphere
Listen to F#A# and come back
>>60267716
>you are plebs because you have opinions
nice
>>60266905
It's good, like really good.
>>60267620
>>60267680
Well, I'm not the other guy, but honestly, the samples on LYSF pale in comparison to that fucking intro on F#A#inf that sets the album in motion. Nothing on LYSF comes close.
>>60266601
This isn't really that bad. It's a blues rock album with weird instrumentation, that's all.
The dadaist lyrics are a plus.
>>60265810
I agree, actually. After My Roots are Strong and Deep, there are only 3 or 4 pretty good songs, none of which are nearly as good as the first few.
I dunno guys, maybe this album isn't for me
>>60266905
It is all about the mood man and it being too long isn't the albums fault, that is your fault for having a shit attention span.
>>60266709
Because it is one of the best. Tis all about the mood as well. That being said it takes multiple listens, in my case that is, to fully appreciate this album.
>>60269664
Oops
>>60267346
you stu.pid fagget
>>60267210
>Mount Eerie Pts.6&7
Huh, it is pretty cool, actually! Thanks, man! I better look at the other Mount Eerie records as well. There's only one proper album, isn't there?
Yeah I can't get into Pixies either. Just seems like above-average college rock for whatever that's worth.
>>60267155
Check this out anon. Mostly acoustic folk with softly sung vocals. Later albums sound very much like Mount Eerie/Microphones.

not the guy you;re responding to but thanks anon this is good
It might very well be the single most boring thing I've ever heard
>>60269767
same as this guy>>60269821
thank you anon

you're still a pleb though

doolittle is really good
i agree about their other albums though

Wtf storm is an absolute banger

You're unfixable

How the fuck do you find Laughing Stock boring?
Just give it another listen, there's so much stuff going on and every track is wildly different from the last. Don't put it on in the background while you shitpost memes, actually listen to it.
>>60266370
>>60266905
I love both these albums but can understand why someone wouldn't like them. For both I would recommend lying down and not really doing much besides listening which is my favorite way to experience them. Still may not be for you but shit happens we all like different music
>>60265810
>it's dull
>it's shitty
what a capable critic you are
>>60275314
He never said he was. Or do you think people having their own subjective opinions and reactions of an album is a bad thing?
>>60265810
These are all pretty solid reasons
>>60275331
Yeah but how do you explain what there is to "get" about an album if their complaints are terrible to begin with?
