You realise Kid A was just Radiohead ripping off a load of 90s idm artists?
>>61773064
I guess I'm not that familiar with 90's IDM to say. By itself I enjoy it.
>>61773064
Just finished relistening Kid A after 2 years and I still think it's good but nothing so fucking gold ore anything.

This
>>61773096
Yeah I still enjoy it, it's just hailed as being the most innovative and original album of the century by people who haven't listened to very much music, when in fact it's incredibly derivative and nowhere near being on par with it's influences. I think In Rainbows and Ok Computer are much better albums than Kid A anyway.
if you dont think STGSTV is the best of all of them you are a massive plen
>>61773198
album's pretty terrible dude

Ooh very patrician.
>>61773196
In fact, i relistened OK computer before Kid A and i think that is sligtly better, nothing stellar, but good, maybe I sould listen to the other albums as well, Pablo Honey and The Bends are pretty boring tho.

Im not up to anything, i just really love those albums and feel like they're 10s to me

From best to worst:
ITCOTCK
Loveless
Spiderland
ITAOTS/MBDTF
LYSF/RIL
Kid A/Exmilitary
American football
Anco/Burial
I don't think ANY of these albums are bad (I also don't love all of them). Most of them are groundbreaking, or essential to their respective genres.
Giving low scores to essential albums is a meme
>People genuninely think LYSF is anything less than a 7/10
If you like F#A#INFINITY more, I understand. But how do people like MBDTF or Kid A more than LYSF or Spiderland?

I don't promise those ratings are 100% accurate since i haven't heard some of those albums in ages... for example Remain In Light, i heard really long ago, and i think that if i would try it again it might grow in me.
but i tried, for you guys ~
>>61773419
LYSF can be really boring if you don't like crescendos
Spiderland can be overwhelmingly depressing if youre not a sad person
also MBDTF and Kid A are well crafted albums, anon
>>61773433
Just because I give something a high score doesn't mean I like it
>>61773407
rofl you are straight-up brainwashed by this place if you think any /mu/core is "essential"

itcotck is essential prog
spiderland and lyfs are essential post rock
af is essential emo
>>61773591

i mean if you wanna talk about King Sunny Ade let's do it
Ratings are arbitrary. It's pointless to try to shoehorn every piece of art into a 0 to 10 scale.
>>61773475
>>61773591
What do you consider essential albums?
something like this
>>61773541
>these are pretty essential if you like music
>>61773591
there's a reason these albums are widely discussed considered even outside of /mu/ to be essential in their influence. drop your trip, you are a fool
>>61773628
they could be rating it based off objective importance, relevance, impact, etc
>>61773634
you have better have listened to Fela Kuti before
>>61773514
Uh, didn't he say "essential to their respective genres" not simply "essential?" Most of them are.
>>61773643
>>these are pretty essential if you like music
>>61773591
>take a lot
*take a look
>>61773596
all those genres are pretty lame
>>61773514
I don't think any music is essential, but Talking Heads and Slint were high influential in their respective genres.
>>61773658
then whats the point in rating them? if you're going to try and be objective then just use metacritic or something
>>61773659
yea essential to their genres, fine, i can respect that, but i've talked to many people here that think they're essential listens period, and it's triggering.
>>61773667

>>61773800
just realized it isn't a first pressing but rather a limited reissue done in an edition of 550 that the band had. Still neat tho
It's not my fav Converge though, so i probably will pass
>>61773806
you obviously care about image if you use a name on an Anonymous imageboard
>>61773839
50 dollars isnt a whole lot, if youre sure its something you'll enjoy for years to come just get it mang

Yeah, but that's not his fault is it? He clearly said "to their genres." Time to leave this board tripfag.
>>61773849
what do you mean by image
>>61773863
i've spent loads on books and records lately, so i think i'll just grab some cheap first presses of sick ass Nigerian afrobeat.
You realize some of those records can be grabbed VG+ for less than 8 bucks even with shipping?

did /mu/ finally get over its edgy "emo is gay" phase?
/mu/core is pretty good
>>61774035
Discogs is great if you like really rare or hard to find stuff
i work at record store, so i see plenty of your standard fare come through regularly, but finding hyper rare 1969 psych is a bit harder
the "lel mu-core is bad" meme is awful

>>61774122
forgot my ratings
>>61774080

what does that even mean in the context of music
i like af because it's just really tight songwriting with neat guitar pieces. most other twinkly emo isn't my thing.
>>61774104
I can't even find a store that stocks Heavenly LPs man, i really need to get on that
This whole thread shows how bad the whole bard got, goodbye neo/mu/, may you die in your sleep choked by your own memes and underage shitposting.
>>61774123
if that were your real reason for using a secure tip then keeping a textfile of bands to check out later would be a much more efficient means of doing it
>>61774195
Most people who disparage the genre are usually immature and no understanding of the genre so when they hear "emo" they think of pop punk shit like fall out boy and MCR,
>>61774226
yea i did that at one point but got lazy with it so i just use rym now
>>61773198
If you don't think STGSTV is the best album of all time you are a massive pleb
>>61774200
see you tomorrow
>>61774254
i think anyone who's spent a week on /mu/ would be past that. a lot of 90s emo is trashy and dismissable as well though, especially the skramz shit. but there are a decent amount of outstanding bands.

i like thom's whining
part of why i don't like a lot of IDM (that i've listened to, at least), is because it sounds so "robotic", i guess. i have this problem with krautrock too. it doesn't feel as human to me, and thom whining does and i like it.

I don't recognize the authority of this /mu/core chart. Albums like American Football and Remain in Light have never reached the level of memery needed to qualify as /mu/core.

Hello Reddit
ITCOTCK is easily the best /mu/core album.
>>61774926
that's not an answer
>>61773419
LYSF shouldn't even be on the list because it is just not that discussed here. It should be some Swans album really, either Children of God or Soundtracks for the Blind.

There's a lot of terrible scores for American Football. Do a lot of people here hate it? I really like that album, was surprised to see the negativity
>>61777634
It's just an objectively bad album. Nothing to be surprised about for people not liking it.
>>61777700
What's bad about it?
>>61777634
It's good
I don't get why it'd be /mu/core though over something like deathconsciousness
>>61777809
Bad wasn't really the right word, change it for "not outstanding" or average instead. It's nothing new, original, nor interesting; why should we care about it?

deathcon usually is included on larger charts
there are multiple /mu/core charts that usually draw from the same pool of ~40-50 or so albums depending on the size of the chart

I can get behind this, maybe to generous with the 10s but better than the 1-5 some guys are giving
