Remember a few months ago on /mu/ when everyone was hyping this boring af post-punk by the numbers album? lol
remember when /mu/ had a shit fit / safe space needed because of their name?
You wanna fight, OP?
ok so what better post-punk albums came out this year?
What did they ever end up changing their name to?
yeah, it's mediocre
>>60618394
none, really. dead genre.
>>60617635
Still an amazing album. Feels psychedelic at times, too.
>>60618394
other than this being reissued, nothing
>>60618556
Personally i like the jangly bits on Death tbfwy
>>60618394
Ought and Protomartyr were better
>DON'T WANNA FACE THE WORLD
>IT'S SUFFOCATING
>SUFFOCATING
>>60618394
Not that Viet Cong is bad by any means, it's not
>>60618712
and did you like viet cong?
I only heard a couple songs from each of those albums and didnt like them as I recall
and viet cong album is far from perfect I'll give you that but those peaks holy shit and side 2 is solid as fuck
More albums like this one?
>>60618752
Protomartyr - The Agent Intellect
>>60618750
Viet Cong didn't grab me at all unfortunately
>>60618394
Algiers- s/t is better for sure. It's not been a stellar year for the genre though tbqphwy.
>>60618646
That's the one track that actually deserved any praise.
>>60618752
>>60618778
starting the first song and I'm hearing punk but not post-punk. If anything this is pop-punk
>>60618828
It's not pop punk, keep listening
>>60618828
>Protomartyr
>Pop-punk
What the fuck?
>>60618848
well that first song is definitely pop-punk but yeah this 2nd song is post-punk
which is not as good as viet cong but its ok. I mean its just basically 2 notes. I mean holy shit talk about paint by the numbers.
wow 3rd song opening bears a striking similarity to viet cong I think Death is the song actually. not that similar but I was still taken aback.
>>60618872
the first song is pop-punk deal with it
or just just standard punk but if its a subgenre its pop
3rd song is really pop-punk too despite the brief similarity to viet cong
>>60618892
This post-punk by numbers meme needs to piss off
ought was pretty solid this year
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u4Fh4o9qFT8
viet cong translates better live
>>60618948
well I'm just replying to the thread topic don't blame me
starting pontiac 87 now
should we really compare singing ability between this and viet cong?
The Hermit is very Man or Astroman
>>60617635
It's still not bad, but it came out too early in the year to really maintain any hype into the year's end
That being said it definitely got overhyped here, but still, it's not a bad album at all
Death best song easily
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZB_VPDXAhKU
finishing now and very decent but a little too simple
It's not bad, still fun but nothing spectacular.
>>60619252
OP here. That's honestly how I feel about it. It's perfectly passable, just a bit forgettable.
Post-punk AOTY

[ ] this OP
[X] some other OP
>>60620623
>>>/reddit/ with that shit
Literally the only half-decent band to come out of Calgary and that still isn't saying much...
>>60620623
Lol embarrassing...
>>60620623
yikes
>>60617635
its a short album where half the songs are good
>>60617635
I remember everybody bashing it, which is all in order; that album is unbelievably bland and boring
Which is a bit weird, considering the preceding EP was great
