Not OP but totally agree with him. The most disappointing album /mu/ has ever got me to listen to. How is infantile go nowhere guitar and mumbled vocals groundbreaking? Boring snooze core is all I heard.

kill yourself
>>61822108
Solid 9/10. Seminal as fuck. Hard to get into if you're a total pleb. Still, I think it doesn't have much replay value.

Gr8 b8 m8 ir8 8/8
kek how can you not like this album
It sounds very 90's hasn't aged well sonically compared to Spirit or Laughing Stock
honestly if you cant appreciate this album you are an idiot and will always be
This thread has convinced me that Slint fans are a bunch of cardigan wearing betas who have convinced themselves that their music is good for the hipster cred. In reality there isn't a coherent thought anywhere in their fuzzy little heads.

I AM IN NO WAY BITTER ABOUT THIS. IN FACT, I FIND IT HUMOROUS. HA HA HA HA HA

In regards to Laughing Stock, I feel the exact opposite.

Nice buzzefeed meme man, bet it took you some time to come up with that one.

>>61822108
every band in i heard while i was in new york sounds like slint cover bands
>>61823214
>Nice buzzefeed meme man
what?
>not groundbreaking
Everyone in the world disagrees with you and you're objectively wrong. Call it shit if you want but it's groundbreaking.
>doesnt sound that special
Yes it does. Name some albums that sound the same. Spiderland's sound is unique as fuck even if you don't like it.
>>61823223
it a sick "ironic meme XD" for those who spam buzzfeed links on their fb
i dont know what you're not understanding about this
>>61823235
>Everyone in the world disagrees with you and you're objectively wrong. Call it shit if you want but it's groundbreaking.
how's it groundbreaking? there was better post-harcore before it, and better post-rock before it.

such as
>>61823235
Notice how Slint fans just spout shit they've read somewhere else. They don't address the actual music. They don't address the infantile guitar, the mumbled vocals, the horrible production or the overall cringe worthy lo fi boredom of the whole album.
Narwhal Shit is pretty unique anon but that does'nt mean it smells good.
>>61823278
?? never heard of it. i dont go on facebook
>>61822108
>not special
literally nothing else sounds like it
>not amazing
maybe you can afford a better taste
>not groundbreaking
yeah i guess you were born in 2005
>>61823307
Yes, but they took it in a completely different direction. It's groundbreaking in the sense that while it may not have matched the greatness of earlier post-rock and post-hardcore albums, it took both genres and made them into something completely original.
>>61823331
>post hardcore
rites of spring, husker du, steve albini's shit, there's a whole early emo scene worth looking into
>post rock
talk talk and bark psychosis are two good examples of bands that were much more "post rock" and came before spiderland
>>61823352
that's your fault, not mine
>>61823418
it may have been original, but I would argue that it wasn't groundbreaking in the sense that it wasn't very influential. How many bands trying to do a post-hardcore and post-rcok fusion have you seen following slint
i guess its ok if you like it but you have to understand that there's a reason that other's dont.
>>61823118
If you don't like fucking spiderland you don't appreciate good compositions and are a total pleb, I'm sorry. You probably don't play an instrument either.
>>61823350
>infantile guitar
Confirmed pleb who doesn't understand composition and basic ass shit like time signatures. Fuck off kid.
>>61822108
Nothing else sounds like spiderland, I wish i could find another album with such lonely and hypnotic atmosphere but i really can't.
>>61822108
you are wrong
had amazing sex to this album
>>61822108
itt: no one has any way to counter OP except "lol gr8 b8"
>>61824236
was she dead?
>>61822282
It's basically the birth of post rock. There's nothing that sounded like it at the time.
>>61824837
Talk Talk basically birthed post-rock, not Slint
>>61824837
uhh
>>61823464
who said it was your fault??
>>61824915
he acted confused and irritated when he didnt know what buzzfeed was
i was clarifying that him not knowing what buzzfeed had nothing to do with me
>>61824891
>>61824899
You're both right, I forgot about Talk Talk but you have to give it that Spiderland is at least a strong influence on modern post rock
>>61825217
not really. maybe mogwai i guess
most post-rock is built on classical, not post-hardcore
what post-rock bands are influenced other than slint, by post-hardcore
Gilmore Girls-core
Boring obvious b8 thread based around posturing. Can't this place even do those in a more interesting manner?
I hate this album. I don't get what anyone sees in it at all.
daily reminder that slint is not post rock
I like how no one has an argument for why this album isnt complete shit
it's basically like the next step in post punk. by mixing aggresive hardcore and punk timbres with more advanced composition techniques than most post-punk bands were doing they made something unique. along with predominantly spoken word vocals and stark lyrics, it is a very likable combo. is it post-rock? is it post-hardcore? is it math rock? who cares. that's why people like it
spaderlandia
I really wish we had another album with such zig-zag on the guitars and clear drums
>>61829416
i'm not a fan of the album itself but it does have the best sounding drums i've ever heard
>>61827526
probably because everyone who actually likes the album scrolled past this shit thread
Slint is boss.
>>61823208
WHOA!!!!!!
>>61822108
If you don't love it that's fine, but I would say that it is a fairly ground-breaking post-hardcore album. Slint added more atmosphere and length to the sound of bands like Fugazi which was substantially new for 1991 terms.
>>61822108
>it doesnt sound that special at all it is good but not amazing or groundbreaking
That's not what The Beatles thought
it's completely solid throughout and has great ideas. there is practically nothing more i could ask of them, that's how i see it
