It's definitely their weak point. Probably the main reason no one heard their newest album.

This (+ -) is the first Mew album I haven't really cared for.
>>61165088
Give it a try. Making Friends and Water Slides are good songs.
>>61165116
It's a good album but for it to be your favourite suggests you need to get out there and listen to some new music.

Not him but really bro? Out of ALL the things you could have said about Anal (shit singing, messy playing, gay lyrics, lyrics about kitty cats, being whiny emo, etc. (GOAT album btw)) you go the eazy way and call it "meme artist"? This is why /mu/ sucks nowadays, instead of efficient, original trolling y'all just spam "meme this", "meme that" withouth even trying anymore. It's no fun, it's tiresome, and it just shits up the board. Shame on you anon, shame on you.

>>61165666
It's definitely one of their least pretentious post-Barrett albums, but it's pretty boring. To be fair, it primarily serves as a soundtrack, so I would not expect that it stands independently as a strong record.
The Wall is whatever. It's bloated by its own ego.
Meddle, DSotM, Wish You Were Here, and Animals are all great (the last one is a bit too edgy, but I can forgive that).

The fact that so many blogs still name the Velvet Underground as "the greatest or most significant or most influential" rock band ever only tells you how far "alternative" music still is from becoming a serious art. Jazz critics have long recognized that the greatest jazz musicians of all time are Louis Armstrong and Miles Davis, who were not the most obscure or unsuccessful or "inaccessible" of their times, let alone of all times. Classical critics rank the highly underrated Mozart over classical musicians who are highly popular on charts around RYM. Alt rock bloggers are still blinded by indie cred. The Velvet Underground influenced more than anyone else (not true, by the way), therefore they must have been the greatest. Jazz critics grow up listening to a lot of jazz music of the past, classical critics grow up listening to a lot of classical music of the past. Alt rock bloggers are often totally ignorant of most rock music of the past; they've made a point of avoiding the best sellers on principle. No wonder they will think that the Velvet Underground did anything worthy of being saved.

This album is only seen as revolutionary since it brought back Dad-rock after a decade that was devoid of it
>>61166858
It has some of the greatest transitions of all time though.
>that Circuitry of the Wolf to Chinaberry Tree
>that Fox Club to Apocalypso to Special
You could only hate it if you disliked the idea by itself, which makes sense.
let's see
>>61166258
You don't really like it, you just wanna seem cool for liking weird stuff.
>>61164862
I liked Electricity, Frontier physiatrist, Stay Another Season, and Since I Left You. The rest is pretty forgettable.

Most of the songs are great, but it feels like it's putting effort into not having a flow to it. I'm not asking for the songs to blend together, but it seems like on most records, a flow just develops naturally and sinks into your brain after listening to it for a while, whereas on this one it feels like just a bunch of songs with a lot of space in between them .
youve probably never heard of it

But the album would be completely different without it, and probably for the worse.
>>61172124
You mean rock band.
Also I hate to be the influence guy, but there was a time before the Beatles where sharing your feelings (if they weren't love-y) wasn't really allowed in pop music, along with experimentation wasn't really a thing pop bands did (Note Brian Wilson's struggle to get the beach boys to experiment against the wishes of the band and label).
You can always not like the beatles, it's just you have to back up your point or you look like a tryhard. Also don't use the John beat his wife argument. It's easily countered and it makes you look like a tryhard sjw tool. (God that many buzzwords in a row makes my head hurt)
>>61172180
Combine it with the other cover and it becomes a heart made of pieces of human bodies, cities, and machinery, which goes along with the themes of the album.
>>61171629
The six minute gap on the last track.
>>61171144
Shit story
>>61172220
I just don't like the way they sound, it's really kind of whatever. That and there's that expectation that the Beatles are the best and you're supposed to love them too, but that's probably not a good enough reason. I didn't know that John beat up Yoko. He apparently didn't beat her hard enough, if he had then maybe she wouldn't have become the original bitch that worms her way into a band and ruins everything.
