Hating on Death Grips and Radiohead are the new memes, a sign that an individual just follows popular opinion without being able to come up with opinions of their own. Basically 100% of Radiohead and Death Grips haters are mindless drones
>>
>>61256089
>Death Grips and Radiohead
pls dont mention them in the same sentence

Yeah Radiohead is shit

>>
>>61256111
No, Radiohead actually mattered
>>
>>61256103
Radiohead is legitimately talented, Death Grips is just some homeless guy singing over terrible beats.
>>
>>61255997
i wouldn't say that I hate radiohead but I can totally understand why people would considering I find their music totally uninteresting after the first few listens and massively undeserving of praise. i'd also say that they are terrible songwriters
>>
>>61256089
listen to more music
>>
>>61256137
what are some songwriters that you consider good?
>>
>>61256145
kind of a broad question, but in the Radiohead era I would say that Wilco/Tweedy was probably the most consistent straightforward songwriter of the 2000s, but there are also groups like Yo La Tengo or Deerhoof who I think wrote some amazing tunes.

But of course all three of those groups conform to my personal preferences for modern rock music, so I ignored people like Sufjan, Iron & Wine, or Ryan Adams who did great things, just not the way I really value all that much.

I just think that Radiohead's appeal rests entirely on their production, and that there really isn't much content past that, past enjoying the pretty noises, and while they do atmosphere and sounds very well they don't have much else to offer if you happen to be in the mood to look into things
>>
>>61256235
I wouldn't say Fake Plastic Trees leans on production, or Paranoid Android, they're just effective and dynamic songs.
>>
>>61256121

no
>>
>>61256235
do you have a compelling argument as to why the way something sounds should be considered less important that the traditional content it implies (i.e the markings the sounds would be demarcated as)?
>>
>>61256524
Lmao of course he doesn't
>>
>>61256524
those be some fancy words my nigga
>>
>>61256490
They definitely did, and offered an alternate set of emotions and principles in massive rock music to the ridiculousness of U2 and the laddishness of Oasis. DG haven't mattered to anyone outside of a few sweaty msg board kids.
>>
>>61256129
How many albums of them have you listened to and what songs in particular drew you into this conclusion?
>>
>>61256129
>radiohead is just some depressed man singing over terrible minor chords
>>
I just torrented their entire discography again.

They evoke certain emotions well

This whole "death grips is just some homeless guy singing over terrible beats" meme is fucking stupid.
Sure it seems like that at first but if you actually bothered to listen past the surface on something like say The Money Store you would find there beats are amazingly detailed with some wacky synths going on. And MC sing he raps, yells and growls which is more than your average vocalist would do.

it's just one of those bands that ripped off a ton of stuff and put them all together, just like trent reznor and nine inch fails, fuck off
>>
>>61256354
yoooo this thread is still up sorry bout that! Yeah Paranoid Android is a great song for sure but to be honest Wilco must have dozens of songs that are just as well-written (if not better-produced). I'm speaking more towards post-OK Computer, when their songs were more like little cinematic events than songs, which is okay and all but in my opinion the actual substance of the songs is so minimal on those albums that re-listening ends up leaning towards being a waste of time

>>61256524
of course i don't have an objective argument, and I adore plenty of artists who experimented heavily with the way their music sounds (Can, Velvet Underground) but it seems to me that those artist had a substance to their style, whereas when I listen to later Radiohead I get the feeling that there really isn't all that much past the pretty sounds. I know that their atmospheres and personality really resonate with a lot of people, and I'm just explaining why I don't care for them all that much.

RADIOHEAD IS BACK BABY
OH JESUS
IT'S GONNA BE LIKE 2008-2013 /mu/ ALL OVER AGAIN
ARE YOU READY FOR RADIOHEAD TO BE /mu/'S FAVORITE BAND AGAIN
>>
>>61261088
I mean, if you look at something like Optimistic, and how dope that song is, that's all songwriting. All melody and structure and form and all that shit. Not a Wilco fan.
>>
>>61256835
The irony being that the characteristic Radio head chord "sound" comes from maintaining a major harmony over many roots. Pyramid Song is a potent example of this, but the "Sexy Sadie" bit from Karma Police uses it, as does Like Spinning Plates/I Will, etc.

It's actually a bit depressing but the local Pizza place is closed and I don't have anything else at home

Liking Radiohead has been a normie flag for much longer than that. I was in high school when OKC came out, and even then patricians sneered at kids listening to Radiohead.
>>
>>61261759
I bought it but it's actually a European clone, "Mana", because shipping from the US is prohibitively expensive I tested 3 clones and Mana is the best, most neutral taste, most protein, and vegan. It has more protein than the original Soylent but that's just due to different recommended nutrition intakes in the EU

I only add a bit of Vitamin D3 to compensate for the dark winter far up north.

Speaking of which, where the fuck can we find Subterranea

Does it make you feel superhuman and go off the idea of food like that guy in that article?
>>
>>61261895
No but I feel well fed.
My normal diet is 2 regular meals and 1 soylent per day. Sometimes 2 soylent and 1 reg meal
>>
>>61261918
Can you literally just consume soylent if you wished?
>>
>>61261974
No, that would be depressing
Mana tastes more or less like oat meal
Imagine eating only bland oat meal all the time

I consider it a good alternative to junk food
Proper food > Soylent > Junk food
>>
has anyone heard the supposed radiohead theme for james bond spectre https://soundcloud.com/radiohead/spectre
>>
>>61261993
But junk food is for when you want to have something with lots of flavour and throw caution to the wind for a bit.

Sounds like the opposite of soylent's purpose, which seems like the "sensible" boring option. I suppose they're both quick and convenient though.
