i'll start
>>60870661
the mantle is at least a 1.5/10
>>60870661
everything by death grips
im not gonna lie, i think the mantle is highly overrated, i dont understand what people see in it. Post Metal? for what? for being a copy of opeth but with black metal vocals instead of death metal ones?
Also, the album is quite monotonous in general.
However, it isnt a bad record, just an average one, 4/10 at least
>>60870795
>>60870727
it's boring as fuck and there are actual mistakes, especially in the drums. every time the double kicks start up i laugh
Loveless
odal is the only good song on there
Inb4 mu core memes incoming desu senpai
>>60870936
>0-1/10
fuck off. i can understand being underwhelmed by it, as with anything, but you've got to have your head up your ass to completely discredit a mbv album.
On Avery Island was bearable. This is 1/10. 1 point for the fuzz guitars.
man there is a lot of shit peddled around here
radiohead is a giant pile of dog shit
swans has 1 good song that wasnt even officially released
aeroplane fucking sucks, again 1 good song
hiphop africa jungle music sucks
what else is there
Mozart
>>60871062
>>60871006
It's super ok to not like these albums but to call them 1/10 is just shitty bait.
Nevermind, the whole thread is shitty bait. This board has become a fucking joke.
>>60871155
my thoughts too anon
>>60871155
Boo hoo. Someone dislikes my favourite albums. How could anyone possibly have an opinion so opposite to mine? Boo hoo. Must be bait.
>>60871199
boo hoo i'm an unappreciative meme spouting pissbaby
>>60871199
If you think these albums are worth less than 4/10 you have listened to very little music
>>60871199
>>60870661
I discovered The Mantle randomly like two days after my breakup. Desolation Song lifted my spirits.
>>60871263
I only posted ITAOTS. It's 1/10 for me. I listen to a lot of music. Try again.
>>60871320
did she break up with you because you have shit taste?
From all the critically acclaimed albums, this is the only one I absolutely hate
>>60871432
I agree. Literal 1/10 songwriting, feels like a bunch of different unrelated parts clumsily sewn together, and is completely unmemorable as a result. Not to mention the terrible metalcore vocals. Shame really, they're clearly technically competent. Never wanted to check out the rest of their discography based on how much I disliked this, either.
>>60871429
lol no
I don't let someone who worships My Chemical Romance and the worst possible metal genres (post-hardcore high school drop-out shit) try and judge my taste in music. Also, Desolation Song is the one decent song on the album and I only listened to it that one day.
>>60871432
yeah, if the main selling point is how fast they can switch from genre to genre, it has to suck
ITT plebians attempting to one-up each other in pleb-ness
you should be banned for disliking agalloch

The Mantle is def one of my favorite albums
Reported to the cops for shit taste in music.

is this album the original meme?

double kick drumming is boring as fuck, maybe "mistakes" give it some emotion/interest

someone get this hothead outta here
>>60872702
I couldn't even sit through the entire intro. Whiny little white boy voice shakily babbling on about some pointless bullshit and schlurping his drink like a pig
>>60870661
I would like The Mantle alot more if it didn't have those cheesy autotune parts
Can we have a black/death metal thread without those atmospheric/shoegaze/post-rock/ shitty subgenres?
>>60871033
Hahaha 'wahhh they're insulting my favorite album'

Colors is one of my all time favorite albums, but their complaints aren't invalid. It's one of the most goaless prog. metal albums I've ever listened too.
Luckily the song writing and atmosphere are both fantastic
Reminder that Agalloch fans LITERALLY think that these are good lyrics:
>I walked down to a river and sat in reflection of what had to be done
>An offering of crimson flowed into the water below
>A wound of spirit from which it floated and faded away
>. . .like every hope I've ever had. . .
>. . .like every dream I've ever known. . .
>It washed away in a tide of longing, a longing for a better world
>From my will, my throat, to the river, and into the sea. . .
>. . .wash away. . .
>. . .fade away. . .
>>60874216
>cheesy autotune parts
What?
>>60874237
We just finished an entire fucking month straight of that for black metal, anon
ITT: good albums that aren't my thing so their shit because my opinion is the be all end all
>>60878081
subjectivism is the doorway to degeneracy
>>60878260
But pure objectiveity is impossible because no matter what personal preference will come into play.
we sure have a lot of very special snowflakes in this thread! mommy must be proud
No redeeming qualities.
It's shit
>>60875510
>tbf
to be faggot?
>>60878301
But pretty much every music fan older than 20 will agree that a lot of stuff they used to listen to was bad
if we just accept everyone's "personal preference" instead of socially pressuring them into listening critically and trying new things, standards decline and the ratio of garbage to good stuff decreases. We gradually forget about how good things can possibly be and Agalloch is considered to be art.
>>60870661
Good pick, shit-tier post-rock/metal.
>>60871006
OK Computer would've been a better pick, but Radiohead is overrated as fuck anyway.
>>60871062
I like that album, but I don't know shit about indie. I'd have to disagree though
>>60871432
Tryhard prog, another good pick
>>60874131
"no"
>>60878397
It's overrated, but not that bad.
>>60878556
Fuck off, thats Death Grip's best album.
>>60878600
true. It still belongs here though.
>>60878600
This
DG may be a meme but they're fuckin great. Shitty fanbase tho
>>60878780
/mu/ ruined Death Grip's fanbase by making memes which attracted stupid fucking unfunny annoying teenagers.
Thanks guys, really, great job.
>>60878877
Death Grips are responsible for that themselves by pandering heavily to that demographic in the first place
so far none of the albums that have been posted are in the 0-1 range except for maybe death grips and ajj
>>60878810
Why didn't you like it?
>>60878513
Except that the standards for what's good to begin with are arbitrary and decided by the culture
>>60878909
I don't see how they pandered to that fanbase at all.
>>60879052

>>60878998

>>60878335
i loved this album when it was released but recently i listened to it and was incredibly disappointing. it just sounds like a whiny suburban teen preaching about nothing.
>tfw like every single album posted ITT
I mean, all that maters in that I liked them right
r-r-right?
>>60871062
10/10, most emotion-inducing album ever made. Breathtaking lyrics and timeless melodies. Ignore the memes this album is perfect.
>>60879393
fuck you stupid nigger
>>60880946
I wouldn't give a 1/10 but a 5-4/10, there are just 3 song i liked

>>60871006
>>60874131
>>60878397
>>60879393
All correct
>>60871006
7/10 album that normies overhype and edgy kids underrate
>>60874131
9/10 album that normies hate because they want rock music to follow the same structure every time
>>60879393
8/10 album that you either listened to once or are trying really hard to dislike now that you're into "real" patrician music
rest of the albums ITT are certified garbage, though, so good job f4m
>>60870661
While this album is pretty overrated, it's probably a 4/10
>>60878810
Love it for some reason. 9/10
>this triggers /b - I mean, /mu/
>>60882234
this. MPP is literally everything I hate about modern indie xD music
Almost every album here is a bait.
except for >>60875503

you can fucking say that for every single album in existence
it means absolutely nothing
>>60882377
and why's that?

Get a load of this guy
>>60875582
that cover art, kak
>>60878397
The Sound and Helpless Child are the only tracks with any replay value
>>60882377
i'm pretty sure most indiefags are over anco by now, especially since p4k gave chz a 7.4
>>60871113
yikes! thats a new opinion!
Hating The Mantle? Seriously?
It's beautiful, it's atmospheric, it's memorable, it gives you more feels than Burial, I love that album.
>>60884112
>listening to music for "le feelz"
faggot
The last nail in the coffin
>>60884112
i feel so bad for you... wait no i don't fucking pleb!
>>60877927
They should be an instrumental band
>>60879393
this tbhns
>>60884999
yes its overrated, there are songs that are just ok, like i talk to the wind, but 1/10? fuck off
>>60870752
i never obsessed over them but I think Exmilitary is a legitimately great album
>>60885881
nailed it my nigga
>>60884999
Lmao I came here to post this as bait because this thread is horrible.
I hope you did the same or else what the fuck.
>>60885924
no, that album is actually unremarkable
>>60885972
>unremarkable
>1/10
???
>>60885972
You're a riot anon
>>60882915
it's just goddamned boring. it's the music equivalent of Aziz Ansari: safe entertainment for the "alternative" crowd
>>60883956
looks like you need to floridada anon, anco's just getting started
>Shitting on Agalloch
There are some (very) questionable moments but the Mantle is such a great album overall. The atmosphere is very well-done, and there are a lot of different styles explored.
>>60870795
>copy of opeth
They're not even vaguely similar aside from acoustic parts. Agalloch integrates it into the sound via post-rock influence, while Opeth goes back and forth with prog influence.
>>60877927
These are actually pretty good lyrics. Desolation Song is cringe though.
>>60887546
Floridada sounds about as poppy as Ariel Pink, it's not trying to outweird the indeh crowd, it's trying to outnormie them
>>60874205
I like the album but very, very few people can pull off spoken word well. Also: would it be better if he had the voice of a heavy black man?
>>60879393
This. Loveless is complete spew.
>>60870661
I'm waiting
>>60878397
THATS how fucked up you are.
jk i like volcano for some reason
>>60870661
9/10. I live like 6 blocks away from the statue on the cover, and the album got me into metal. Has to be placed in the context of the time, when nu-metal was all the rage. The build-up and scale is pretty epic (in the literal sense of the word)
>>60871006
4/10 real boring
>>60871062
6/10 Distorted bass drums and horns are cool but thats about it
>>60874131
0/10 anyone who pretends to like this should kill themselves
>>60878335
2/10 - Cringe tier
>>60878556
4/10
>>60878810
7/10 like earthmover a lot
>>60879393
Very influential but pretty trash now imo
>>60882234
Agree with >>60882377
>>60884999
7/10. Compare the awful shit at the time (like the beatles) too something like epitaph or 21st century. Pretty epic and emotional pieces desu
Generally agree with most people most /mu/core is complete shit
>>60881172
ok but that's because of you, not the album being bad.
