>>60796414
I've never listened to this group but I like some metal. What should I expect?
>>60796448
God-tier album. They were fantastic through the 80s, went to total shit in the 90s, and have now swung back to making ok music.
>>60796448
Their first seven albums are all fantastic if you like traditional metal. Their modern albums aren't as consistent but have pretty enjoyable prog elements to them if you're into that sort of sound (my favorite album from them is Brave New World from 2000)
>>60796414
fav maiden album right here

>>60796414
Yes.
>>60796448
Powerslave is a fantastic album, that even those who don't really like metal can enjoy.
This album is pure genius. But people refuse to like it because it's that Tom guy from blink-182. I don't like Tom and i don't like blink but this album is a masterpiece
>>60797415
yep

just listened to beat the champ, really liked it.
especially loved the wrestling theme and upbeat funky tempo.
favorite song was legend of chavo guererro, is this album worth listening to? heard he just kinda whines about his step-dad..

BAM
>>60796515
starless is just OP. They come up with a great riff and melody which could've made a phenomenal song on its own, then they come up with a completely different, equally incredible and perfectly fitting section. what other band wouldn't have been content halfway through?
>>60805023
because the last track is by far the worst

No contraversey anononon, its their best album every song, bar the smiths charming maan rip off song, is 12carat solid gold.
>>60798550
Finally a GOAT
>>60798773
YES
>>60805359
There's having shit taste and then there's being so plebeian you actually believe this.
So... are you genuinely retarded, or do you just pretend to be to get a kick on Internet imageboard?
>>60802427
Good shout, it is an original song for its time, in retrospect.
>>60798737
Correct answer
>>60797928
His step dad used to abuse him, pretty sure it justifies the whining.
And either way his feelings are not that simple, it's a great album. Listen to it.
>>60805359
I'd agree that his lo fi stuff is his best material but he's still had some great albums afterwards. The Sunset Tree, Tallahassee, We Shall All Be Be Healed and even Beat the Champ are great.
>>60805125
NO/10
this one
>>60796742
one...two...three...four
>>60797174
>>60803285
Probably two of my favorite current albums. Eno had a really solid knack for making twisted and innovated guitar pop. Another Green world gets even better with those ambient interludes
>>60803252
and of course calvary scars II
surprised i haven't seen this one
>>60797981
Right there with ya anon. If ur still there I'd love to discuss this album
>>60805359
I know this is bait, but seriously? You're probably a stan for the lo-fi Rachel years right?
>>60806177
i don't know why they're never talked about here. new attitude getty address and glad fact are all genius
>>60806173
Iceblink luck is a great song. Love the slide in the title track. Been digging some of their early work recently since most critics don't mention it because it's not as acclaimed as your pic related.
>>60806230
My nigga right here. Love them both. Some great anon shared the live orchestra version of TGA from 2010. His style of songwriting was very kitchen sink, but he had a real taste for his own flavor vocally and guitar wise. Wish he would be in one of those guitar moves videos on youtube. He has a really interesting style no one really notices
Coming through here. Happy Cycling is one of their best songs. Although if you bought this back in 1998 and it wasn't the Matador release (which contained Cycling as a final track) you got One Very Important Thought. Regardless all versions have Cycling as the final track. Either edition both are solid closers.
>>60806268
i regret not seeing that show so bad. have seen their take away show episode? Dave aggressively singing police story at a NY cop is about as good as a performance piece can get
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gCD9LDE_LX8
>>60806335
I didn't even have the opportunity to see it because it was all the way across the country. That take away show is hilarious due to the performance aspect of it. The cop has no idea. DP are one of the most underrated and underwritten about indie bands that is popular. I want them to do a more guitar led release like Rise above or Bitte, but I'm not sure if they will
IN THE COURT OF THE CRIMSON KIIIIIIIIIIIIING
>>60806385
is swing lo worth checking out? i kinda gave up on them after it was clear he's done with getty address/orchestral music. I like bitte orca but it's a completely different band to me
>>60806455
Yeah it's worth it, it's more poppy and the girls are put more to use and there's more pads being used as opposed to guitars which is the direction most groups are taking in the indie world but I digress. I like the more orchestral stuff from them better too. Yeah BO was a sea change record for them regardless of where its leading them. The title track from Swing Lo is a good song, an acoustic song that's slightly familiar of his early days but not as weird :/ Longstreth will never go back to those days as a weird lo fi guy but hopefully he'll shred soon
The live version of Long Season is literal perfection.
>>60806510
i'm hopeful for later life dave. he'll probably end up like scott walker, making ridiculous avant garde old man records because everything else has been done.
have you listened to the new deradoorian? i was pleasantly surprised
>>60806582
Their discography is a favorite of mine, and it's weird because there's barely any ounce of them on the internet. It's not like their a forgotten out of print band, Long Season was released through Polydor I believe through an indie imprint. And it's not like they were small, they were popular. Anyone have an idea where or how I can get more info on them, or for that matter physical copies of their albums. Weather Report is 11/10
>>60806614
Yeah I know people probably passed over Deradoorian because its seen as "just another side project from an indie rock alum" but it was really good. I know pitchfork panned something of hers and thats probably why people ignored it but they put footage of her concert online so they may be backing her, and thus getting some detracted fans back into the fold. Yeah she's good. I hope Dave pulls a Scott Walker. Also you should check out the song Darkened Car from the New Attitude ep. Here's a link you might appreciate.

i've never heard this performance thanks anon.
>>60798280
For the same reason you didn't post it an hour ago.
>>60806741
I believe it's the earliest performance of them I've found. It's before their major touring line up was in place back in '06 when they toured with Vampire Weekend (clips exist on youtube in shitty quality and weird sit down live vids). I've read online about people who saw him when he still lived in Portland before he moved back to Brooklyn, but by that point he was an indie legend amongst toe Williamsburg lofts
>>60799033
Isn't Magic Window just silence?
I'm not saying that's a bad thing at all
>>60805023
To Be Kind (the song) is better live
>>60806791
this is awesome. totally bringing me back to high school ha. he's gonna regress back to symphonic pop some day. keep faith
>>60796397
>>60805125
First time I heard this, I came out and my shit was gone
>>60806880
How long have you been a fan of DP? They're kind of an anomaly in indie where their music is pretty categorization.
>>60806898
FUCK i meant to say their music is pretty un-categorizable
>>60806582
I've been putting them off for waaay too long.
>>60806303
When I first started getting into music, I didn't like that song cause I thought the beat sounded dated and corny, so I tried listening to it in repeat until I got used to it cause I was a massive try hard. Still don't like it much.
>>60806898
i first heard them in 2009 and worked my way back. my older brother put 'the bride' on a mix for me and i was hooked. you?
>>60797174
That closer feels like sitting down in a warm bubble bath
>>60806957
That's a bummer because it's one of my favorites. They're an electronic group who got lucky and didn't crib a lot of their drum work from old school hiphop, so barely any of their work sounds dated.
>>60807004
I ignored them for a bit for whatever reason, but got into them around when Swing came out or afterwards. I started at the beginning but never really settled on a favorite, maybe Getty Address. I just really like Dave's approach and overall tone musically.
>>60806957
i almost gave up on mhtrtc my first listen. happy cycling made me want to listen to any of the rest of it
>>60807059
dave's a genius. he's definitely going to be one of the gems still recognized years down the line
>>60807040
He achieved it well. My friend had this album in high school and I heard it later but loved it. I was more of a fan of his ambient stuff and he had warm jets. Now it's the opposite, he likes the ambient stuff and I got into the art rock stuff.
>>60807065
Not that guy, but glad you got back into it. MHTRTC has a really unique mood and perspective. I also associate it with winter right before the Christmas season and the ensuing days of the time so that's why I enjoy it so much I think. Also the general nostalgia thing helps.
>>60807093
Geez I hope so. I know Pfork loves them (and has since the beginning). I just hope he fucking releases something polarizing and intense and not something very poppy. I need more weird string sections, out of tune guitars, and vocal warbling from D-lo
>>60803270
>>60797415
>>60798308
>>60801125
yep
>>60796585
>>60796860
>>60797126
the rest of the album has to be good though
>>60798737
11/10 album with 10/10 closer
>>60798402
Mogwai Fear Satan is my all time favorite song of theirs.
I've listened to this album three times already, and to be honest, it's SEVERELY underrated Anco. De Soto Sun is glorious.
>>60807293
Three times today alone*
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IMB977XlM3E
>>60807293
It really is underrated. Back in the day I played this on my stereo and on my other speakers, one CD one mp3 and played them around the same time. Was a really cool experience. Queen of my pictures is probably one of their best songs. Also there's a recording of de soto on youtube from 2000 like one of their earliest shows. Saw someone who had seen AnCo and followed them around back in their earliest period and saw them do campfire songs live and some other material wya before they had recognition.
>>60805265
My nigga
Tho I think dozing green would have made for a better closer
>>60806582
It is such an unbelievable performance. I feel empty every time I listen to it, because once it is over there's this realization that there's nothing quite like it out there.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GM2ZyJu3_is
>>60807342
>tfw they will never play Doggy live again
>>60807059
>>60807065
Yeah I actually like the rest of the album, just that song I could never really enjoy too much.
>>60807441
They might some day, but probably not. They're not one for nostalgia and revisiting songs. I'm looking at you 2008 version of Chocolate Girl that only so many people saw...
>>60807448
At least you like the album, because it's very very good. Took the calmer moments of Autechre and Apehx and put their own twist on it
>>60806582
How can a song be so perfect?
>>60798970
This album too.

The Seer has the far better closer.
