The sound of your inner child coming to terms with death.
That shimmer of the sun reflecting off of clear water.

An unfairly accurate description, Anon. Props.
Shooting the shit on the back porch with some close friends, drinking cheap beer, getting your problems off your chest, and letting it roll off your back
![Violent_Femmes[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/38pSjex.jpg "Violent_Femmes[1].jpg")
Being an angry, horny middle school kid throwing a tantrum in your room, rolling around and screaming into your pillow
Driving home at 2:00 am on an empty road with the windows down.
Realizing that whatever you just took wasn't acid but rolling with it and having a good time anyway even though you don't know what the FUCK is going on.
People dying around you
being deleted and meting grid jesus
merzbow won't let you watch MLP
Waking up drunk with a train ticket in one hand and divorce papers in the other
That one summer day way back when where you and the rest of the kids in your neighbourhood spent the day playing and exploring.
going on a nice sunny picnic with someone you really hate
naked closeted 16 year old gay boy crying himself to sleep in bed alone hugging his pillow because he knows the boy he has fallen in love with will never love him
his parents argue in the other room, unbeknownst to him

Spending your second summer out of highschool doing nothing but wandering around your hometown and staying constantly high and you're really just pretty content with your life even though you know it's not really going anywhere
your kids make you take them to the amusement park at 10:00 even though you're having a migraine.
the pit of despair you're in after you get dangerously drunk and gamble away everything you have after your girlfriend leaves you with no warning
>>61021683
I shit you not I listen to this album almost EVERY time I get drunk.
>>61021774
literally going to be my life this next summer, huh.
enlightenment while lying on top of a skyscraper
Staying home from school when you're sick and spending the day watching comfy documentaries on PBS
Dreaming of dance parties you've been to and haven't thought about in a long time
>>61021825
The last four times I got REALLY shitfaced either started with me playing this album or ended with me waking up hung over, with it in my CD player
>>61021852
literally was my life this summer until I moved at the end of it. It's a perfect soundtrack at least
Finding out your best friend overdosed after living in separate cities for a few years. Then returning home and attending his funeral, seeing other old friends and coming to terms with changes, whether good or bad.All the while discovering your own brand of spirituality through unexpected psychedelic trips..
Awkward teenage boy.
Coming to terms with the fact that you can't keep a committed relationship.

You walk in your hood around 12 pm and you start to see the dark underlying networks that connect together all the shady humans around you, and you suddenly get why it's called "the grid"

I love this and pavement because it sounds like how having friends feels

Pretty well put, especially for the first half of the album. Second half if the album I don't understand well enough tbqh

Getting out of your warm bed, turning on the car 15 minutes early to warm it up, and driving to work 8 am on a cold winter morning.
A monster slowly emerging out of a crack in your brain while you spazz out in a dark alley in Norway.
>>61022189
And it's a shitty job at that
trying to pretend that everything is okay while your life is slowly falling apart
>>61022189
you got the car part right but its more like driving across Pennsylvania and ohio alone
>>61022242
Should have included that. absolute dead-end job. Probably manual labor.
Falling out of love with the man you were engaged to (and blaming him for it), experimenting with your sexuality, coming to terms with death and your own asexuality, and falling in love with the beauty and grandeur that is life on earth.
(also godamn is this album art fucking un-inspired.)
A white hipster reflects on the emptiness and misery of his own life despite being economically privileged

it sounds like having your power go out in the middle of a project due the next day and suddenly realizing that it's okay to fail

>>61022166
I can manage one of those right now
A guy makes a mediocre album but it's hard to criticize because he sounds like such a nice guy
Learning to accept the lovely, strange, and pitiful changes in life.
Contemplating how your parents don't love each other anymore and going through stages of anger, complacency, and eventually peaceful acceptance.
like running for your life through thick, powdered snow
>>61021713
that's so accurate
Waking up in a boarded up house with a little light just barely streaming through the spaces between the fortifications baring the windows. In the other room you hear the radio already on, making point of the malcontent the world has to offer already so early. And outside the rioters are still shouting and chanting like they were all last night and the day before. You dress yourself to join them.
like being in the back seat of a rental car as your parents drive from the airport through a foreign cityscape

you never truly got over them. you live a normal life but their memory stays in the back of your mind and keeps you living in the past. you wish you had the strength to let it go. you're drained but still trying.
it's been a while since your parents have heard from you.
Frying a strange fluid in a pan to get high and get a little warmer with your best friend in your shitty apartment

Yeah, I can see those fitting with the albums they refer to.
an oddly comforting warmth. the kind that people apparently feel moments before succumbing to hypothermia

Underrated post
It's like attending a party in your teens while feeling out of place because you're half-sober and a really drunk girl asks you to use her cell phone to text her dad that she's alright before she passes out.
Like you're in a guitar store and a teenager who just finished learning the first chords sits down and "tests a guitar" for 49 minutes.
>>61022655
Our feelings and relationships are just illusions molded by capitalism would fit too.
>>61023653
LOL, Reed was really experimental on this one...

Does it smell when you're so far up your own arse or does it just stop after a while?

Trying and failing, that is.
>>61023719
So you're gonna insult me without providing a reason to defend this shit tier, worthless, trash album? It's literally the first chords you learn with lyrics that hardly rhyme poorly sung over them.
like taking a bunch of adderall nasally
>>61023458
Same, modest mouse is long drives on summer nights for me
>>61023791
There's no reasoning with an idiot such as yourself. I'm fine with not liking the album but you really just don't understand music at all.
Drinking 14 cups of coffee.

you could use some meditation brother.
Please tell me what's good about this album.
>>61023875
I don't really know what I can say if you're the type of person who doesn't like simple but brilliant chords, Reed's great "realistic" songwriting and Cale's experimentation.
>>61023919
I love simple but brilliant things.
You are probably just blinded by the time it came out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0HQqXllXpfQ Salad Days is a modern masterpiece and it's simple as 3rd grade math. I love Salad Days and it's simple. What you call "brilliant" a connoisseur of music understands is simply tacky. Please stop insulting me and discuss what you are defending.
Candyflipping and surfing

You've thrown me for a loop. I can't tell if you're baiting or not with that.
I like Mac, RnR Nightclub and 2 are better though.
Just listen to Heroin again and if you don't get it TVU aren't for you,

I'm not going to convince you to like a band by spouting my bullshit, especially when you've taken such a hardline stance.
Vacuuming every inch of your house while completely alone and on methamphetamine
>>61024017
the noise is too clean for that
>>61024001
Let me tell you something buddy boy. I am in a constant state of half joke half normal and I've been stuck like this for almost two years. I have felt what the children are feeling and been on a whole journey that you may go on yourself one day. But the point is I am the maker of fourth dimensional memes. I am both memeing and not memeing at the same time and my own brain can not comprehend it. I wish you a safe journey brother!
>>61024029
No way, this is a frantic cleaning album, vacuuming for me personally, but its totally meticulous speed cleaning
>>61024017
More like BMXing in the woods behind your house for eight hours straight on meth.
>>61024054
Not him but I can relate to this. I don't even know when I'm being serious or not.
>>61024054
I feel like I've just been visited by some spiritual being.
Walking to the gas station at three in the morning tripping hard on acid, cutting through the spooky woods behind your neighborhood, getting a five dollar pizza and some shitty cigs, and finally collapsing in your basement to watch old VHS tapes.
Wandering through the woods and mountains with your friends, smoking a little weed, and going on long rides going way too fast through the country.
Religious horror visions from eating ergot in the woods.
>>61024120
>>61024099
We have the power. We are not weak. A spiritual being begins as a normal being. Through trials of life and understanding he becomes what we call enlightened. There is nothing stopping you from joining me brother. if you seek to understand you only need to break down the filters which you see your reality through. These are religions, political ideologies, "culture", etc... The truth is painful.
To look deep inside yourself and accept all that you deny, whether or not you are consciously aware you are denying it is the first step to furthering yourself. If you proceed with an open mind and an open heart you can feel "the love."
It is all very intense to witness with your own perception. If and when you understand the basics of my thoughts, whether instantly or decades away, then you and I will walk the same path.
>>61024227
Thank you, o wise one. I hope to one day ascend beyond human consciousness and exist only in a demension of memes.
>>61024070
I think meth would call for dirtier noise is all
>>61024327
You have to understand. This is not a joke.
Memes are the main focus of life. Everything else is just the time between the memes. WE ALL LIVE IN A DIMENSION OF MEMES! Memes are the truth, the future, and the reality.
What is a meme? It is the high vibrational feeling you get from things you like. If your life is not a meme then your life is void of character and meaning.
>>61024362
>this is not a joke
Obviously, but at the same time I can't help but get the feeling that it is. Also I don't think I've felt a real emotion since 10th grade.
>>61024381
>hasn't felt real emotion since 10th grade
You see brother, this is what I call "living in-between the meme." Here is an illustration []-------[]. You see, the boxes represent true memeing, whereas the line represents the time in-between. You are living in the line. You can not know where in the line you are living. You may be at the beginning, far away from your next meme, but you may be at the end of this great long line of lovelessness, and your next meme right around the corner. The secret is that you control the speed of which you travel to memes. If you figure it out, then it will no longer matter how far away from the meme you are and there is no more line. Every second is the new meme. This is where I am, a constant meme existence. My life looks like this, [][][][][][][][]. You're can too. All you have to do is think about whatever you want until the thoughts that propel you bring you to the state of constant memeing. I wish you good luck.
>>61024481
Thank you. Sleep tight memer

Wow this website is bad.
the ancient god that has existed in-between dimensions for a millennium finally emerges into our reality and hijacks every electronic device to destroy us
>>61022189
I did exactly this while listening to this album this morning fuckyoutooreal
Watching the adverts at the cinema before the movie comes on
Staying up most of Friday night reading Wikipedia articles about the fate of the universe, waking up at noon on Saturday, then staying inside all day while The Sound of Music plays on the TV.
Eating a pile of acid, mescaline, dramamine, benadryl and DXM all at once and going for a long walk with the destination being your friend's house, and you aren't invited.
