>>60837602

i love black hole sun, especially his vocals. is the rest of this album worth listening to?
>>60837956
SITTING ON AN ANGRY CHAIR
>>60838057
ANGRY WALLS THAT STEAL THE AIR
>>60837956
This is the best. And also the best concept album of the 90s.
Close second would be this.
Someone should acknowledge this one
>>60837650
Yeah. The Beavis and Butthead skits really added something special.
>>60838013
dats grunge wtf?
either way if dis counts than yeah u win 4 sure anon ur the best
>>60837712
NOBODY CHANGED MY MIND
>TFW LEADS ME TO A NEW DISEASE
>>60838165
Mike Judge is on this album?! Holy shit he is! Is it worth checking out just for him? I have three Kid Cudi songs in my library, and I don't even particularly like them.
New York had some underrated grunge
THE DAY I TRIIIIIIIED TO LIIIIIIIIIIIIIVE
>>60838135
literally every album they released before this was better
>>60837666
ahahaha good one xD
>>60838208
no the album sounds like someone imitating kurt cobain and already starts to numb your mind by the third track. the beavis and butthead skits were out of place and not funny unless you are a huge fan or something
>>60838135
>Dirt
>concept album
What? I mean, aside from most of the tracks being about Layne's obsession with drugs. Is that enough to qualify it as a concept album?
>>60837712
Slipknot rip-offs =/= grunge
>>60838288
Literally every album released before that wasn't grunge.
>>60838357
I'm a huge fan, but I guess I'll just visit youtube.
>>60838385
Hello, Scaruffi.
>>60838359
All of the songs in Dirt are about death in different stages. All of them. The character is the listener. Layne and Jerry bring you down to the depths of your own subconscious.
>>60838022
Very much yes, though Black Hole Sun is not really indicative of the albums songs in terms of songwriting, the themes of dread and despondency hang over pretty much everything.
>>60838288
lol nope
>>60838357
This. The album is a train wreck t b h. It's worth a listen, because holy fuck it's bad. I was just memeing.

>>60838139
all worthy picks but id have to go with superunkown. its on a level of its own.
<---not my pic but id say it deserves an honorable mention.
>>60838568
so grunge is just "early 90s rock albums" now?
>>60838549
shut up
>>60838568
That's not Grunge ya dingus
>>60838581
Undertow has a SLIGHT grunge tinge to it. I still wouldn't call it a grunge album, but pretty much 99% of early 90s rock albums have some elements of grunge in them.
Pic related is seriously underrated.
>inb4 Kurt wrote all the lyrics
>>60838595
>>60838581
Eh. sort of? its close. its not pure grunge but, whatever.
>>60838679
Kurt wrote all the lyrics
>>60838630
Undertow's about as "grunge" as Siamese Dream.
>>60838679
I thought Billy Corgan wrote them.
>>60838762
billy helped her with her next album
>>60838706
Great album nonetheless, Tool gets a bad rep around here but I've always loved them.
>>60838880
There's just too much fucking filler. I love the songs that are really songs, but the albums do not need to be 75 minutes long.
>>60838679
Kurt didn't write the lyrics, he just wrote the music
>>60838880
Ive noticed a lot of people dont like tool in /mu/ but theyll show up on a top 10 list every now and again. People on /b/ really like them though.
>>60838910
fucking kek. yeah they like to take their time. but thats what i love about them. you might like undertow and aenima a bit more than lateralus and 10000 days.
>>60839260
this is fake and gay
>>60837540
If I were to give it to any Soundgarden album, it wouldn't be that one.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AAgHpHCVULU
Holy shit just listen to this shit. Wasn't Louder Than Love a phenomenal album?
Alas, this is a tough one, because Badmotorfinger is just spotless. "Room A Thousand Years Wide" and "Slaves & Bulldozers" just can't be touched. And "Holy Water?" Oh my God. It's like they wanted to make a perfect album, and then they did, and no one in the band could care to agree on anything after that; however it didn't matter, because Badmotorfinger was already written by then.
>>60837540
You are completely right and most people disagreeing with you are probably too young to be here (even if they're posting other great albums).
>>60839798
Louder Than Love is incredible, I listen to that all the time. Badmotorfinger is spotless too. But I'm going to agree when people say Superunknown is the one that finally brought it all together.
is this even a question???
>>60837619
not even grunge. Bleach was their only grunge album, if that.
>>60841090
Underrated, I love this album
>>60841090
lmao
>>60837956
this x1000000000000
>>60838139
All Night Thing is a perfect song.
>>60841136
very underrated
My favorite album from each of the big four would be
Superunknown
Dirt
No Code
In Utero

Every fucking grunge thread starts and ends the same way. Somebody posts either Superunknown, Ten, Dirt or In Utero, then follows it up with "This is the best grunge album". Let's just say he mentions Superunknown like OP did. Then somebody responds with either "No, [Ten, Dirt or In Utero] is better than Superunknown", OR "No, [other good album by band, in this case Badmotorfinger] is better". Then someone else comes in the thread and says "I think [Alice In Chains, Nirvana or Pearl Jam] is a better band than Soundgarden" without any argument.
So, after that initial shit is over with, some egghead walks in and mentions Stone Temple Pilots and proceeds to say "OH STP IS THE BEST GRUNGE BAND" when they're nowhere near as good as them (maybe better at songwriting than Pearl Jam, but musically Pearl Jam is far better). THEN another egghead walks in and mentions Melvins, even though they're a stoner metal band and NOT a grunge band. Just because they gave Kurt his success doesn't make them grunge.
After all of that's said and done, another egghead tries to be contrarian and mentions some other grunge band that's underrated but has no business being compared with the 4 previously mentioned bands, such as Hole, Tad, or Green River. Then some other egghead mentions a band that sounds absolutely nothing like grunge and is completely unrelated to the subject at hand, such as Tool or Green Day, and it pretty much just turns into an alt-rock thread rather than a grunge thread. But that's understandable, because there's barely any grunge albums out there. Nirvana's frontman is dead and they now live on in the Foo Fighters, who fucking blow, Alice In Chains no longer has Layne and are now making mediocre stoner rock with a vocalist who sorta sounds like Layne but doesn't have the same charm or vocal ability as him, Soundgarden are a shell of their former selves, and Pearl Jam just makes shitty radio rock now.
Why do we even have these fucking threads?
>>60842231
>Why do we even have these fucking threads?
because this is a music discussion board
>>60842231 you forgot one thing >>60841136
literally the best grunge album ever
>>60842231
>Why?????
For people like you, anon. For people like you.
>>60842231
those paragraphs gave me a migraine
>>60842231
>egghead
>>60838679
it's better than In Utero
>>60842231
yep
SPEEDING BULLET 2 HEAVEN
>>60842226
absolutely this
>>60841136
good stuff
>>60837619
In Utero was full of cringe, though.

>>60841876
same here, but is it grunge?
It's post-something if anything.
>>60842231
The Melvins' Houdini is Grunge
>>60842231
I'm not saying YOU'RE saying STP is grunge, but just to clear shit up, they're not. Core, maybe. After that, they were all over the place genre-wise. Only a slim fraction of their catalog falls under the label.
Saying post-Core STP is grunge is as wrong as saying Tool was grunge.
>>60848935
STP was the first post grunge band, m8
>>60848155
one of the most under-mentioned bands in threads like this.
>>60837956
T H I S
Facelift was cool too.
>>60848944
was Smashing Pumpkins?
I don't see how shit other than Bush and Creed etc is "post grunge".
>>60848981
> Spiderland
> Grunge
> Not even first
Fuck off
>>60848981
You forgot Cantrell's solo albums
>>60849031
When new bands started mimicking grunge bands, it became post grunge.
>>60849341
does STP really fall under that label though?
Most of the material you hear on Core, which is what people base the "rip off" accusations on, was completed in 1990, you can hear it on the Mighty Joe Young demo on Youtube.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A8VROjKDiBs
Scott sounds mostly the same as on the finished product roughly 2 years later.
So I don;t see how they fall under the generally accepted definition of "a subgenre of alternative rock and hard rock that emerged in the mid-1990s as a derivative of grunge, using the sounds and aesthetic of grunge, but with a more commercially accessible tone."
To be honest on Core they sounded more like Led Zeppelin than they did any of their contemporaries.
>>60849713
core is almost completely a post-grunge album if not a grunge album
purple and tiny music are not grunge
after that it's a bit of a combination of the stuff they did on tiny music with grungy flavor
>>60849713
If any 90s band was channelling Zeppelin, it was Soundgarden.
Superunknown or In Utero, /mu/?
>>60849713
Yes
1990-95 was the second wave of grunge with less garage rock and raw punk influence, but instead more hard rock produced pop, this is when STP became relevant
>>60849767
the material on Core is literally some of the "original" grunge. It even pre-dates Temple of the Dog's record let alone Pearl Jam, and was made at about the same AiC's Facelift came out.
But because Core itself wasn't officially released until fall of 92, after PJ and AiC were already more established, people assume STP was ripping them off.
>>60849796
Superunknown
>>60849812
then most of what we call grunge would really fall under post-grunge, right?
>>60849796
Superunknown is god tier. In Utero is not
>>60849796
In utero is trash
>>60837540
louder than love ,,, badmotor finger ,,superunknown soundgardens good times
