ITT: We tear this fucking album apart
It's been getting too much good praise on here!!
>people like it so I must dislike it
you must have gone round the sun 18 times to post here
it's too groovy
>>62048410
Point in case.
Leave now.
I CAIN'T UNDERSTAND YOU. GO BACK TO YOUR OWN COUNTRY
jap bob marley
>>62048350
First things first, its repetitve as all hell, even though it's 35 mins long
It's the same thing with some water sounds for a half hour. It's fucking shit.
>>62048350
It's built from really puerile melodies.
>>62048350
FISHMANS are good but this is not the best FISHMANS album
haha, yeah, take that
It's got nothing on the live version
>>62048503
It's called motifs. Motifs are so fucking good why don't more album use them.
Let's make this thread about albums that use motifs.
Diamond Dogs does it with that one song that's split into two parts with another song in the middle. Not a big Arcade Fire fan but the Suburbs comes to mind too.
>>62048350
That lead guitar riff is really grating at high volume. I'm too lazy to go figure it out on my guitar rn but it must be done with an octave pedal it's a ridiculously high pitch.
Part 2 > Part 4 > Part 5 > Part 1 >>>> Part 3
>>62048350
I can't because it's a really good album.
The only thing I guess I can say is that weebs are annoying
it's garbage and put me to sleep
4/10
fuck off weebs and dude weed lmao faggots
from a songwriting/musicianship standpoint it is extremely mediocre
from a production standpoint it's not very good
It's a meme.
>>62049619
死ねー
Can someone tell me when and how this album became a meme? It literally wasn't talk about until like a year ago and suddenly it blew up here and on RYM more or less simultaneously. I need some korean imageboard historians to explain this phenomena.
People who really like this are better off just listening to Otokotachi no Wakare. I say this as someone who really enjoyed Long Season.
>>62048410
fuck off normie
the fun and thrill of this album wore off when every /mu/tard 15 year old started listening to it and thinking "its tha best thang ever xD japan is the worlds greatest country the live version is the uber sex".
Fuck this meme record.
>>62049684
It's a forced meme like any other, not that hard to figure out.
The water noise sounds like shit hitting the toilet water.
Thanks rym reviewer who said that, I can't unhear it now
>>62049683
Desu Kawaii semon!!!
Shit that was supposed to say sempai I'll just leave It as is.
Part 3 is the only not fantastic part
It's not the best Japanese record of all time, but its top 3. Still, Japan's top 3 alone is better than America's top 50.
Yellow Magic Orchestra, Boredoms, this. Only in Japan will you find the combination of technical ability, talent, forward-thinking, and an ear for pop melody like this.
>>62048501
you'd be right if this were Kuchu Camp
its really cheesy and 90s sounding
>mfw surprise Fishmans + Deakin collab
ITT: Butthurt crackers unwilling to accept that the Asians outdid them again
This and Jason Aldean need to be autobanned.
>>62049684
Fishmans was a hugely respected band within Japan and it naturally spilled out overseas. But talk about "LONG SEASON", or at least a real discussion for it here is from at least 2013, I think the rest of you haven't been looking in the right places.
>>62049315
this this this!
Honestly I never cared for it.
Like the worst parts of Pavement combined with the worst parts of My Bloody Valentine. Dude's voice really grates on me, too.
I think it gets a lot of points for being Japanese. Makes people feel cosmopolitan to rep it.
>>62049604
this is objectively incorrect.
>>62049901
I don't get the comparisons to Pavement (who I like) and MBV (who I don't), but otherwise we totally agree. It's just some lame dub band that this board latched onto for some reason. It's not hateful or offensively bad, it's just dull.
>>62049848
Satou Shinji is dead since '99. The remaining members haven't been active since 2009, and any of their works without Satou don't sound the same.
>>62049901
It sounds nothing like Pavement. It's a third-rate dream pop record with reggae/dub influence.
It's pleasant sounding, but nothing interesting happens over a half hour. Way too repetitive and long.
>>62049883
I found it in a sharethread around 2013 as you said but I never really saw it being discussed and turned into a shitty meme until last year. As well the RYM ratings skyrocketed over the same time period.
>>62049901
This is such a bad comparison.
>>62049939
Send in the deak
>>62049812
You mean Chappie Don't Cry
>>62049939
>the lead singer died
OK! There we have it! That's the appeal. That's why the memekids love it.
>>62049788
And more memebands like Boris (patrician metal for non-manchildren) and Midori
>>62049939
They're touring this year tho
If an American band made the SAME exact album with no changes, it'd be forgotten and rated 3.00 on RYM. 4chan only likes it because its a Jap record that isn't filled with engrish, vocaloid, or derivative of outdated american pop and they're all weebs.
>>62049938
Aren't Pavement, too, nothing but dull?
Fishmans should come to Brazil
>>62048501
Bob Marley is good and I've yet to see an actual argument for him not being good that wasn't a) "I don't like reggae" or b) "I downloaded a Peter Tosh album last week trust me I know Bob Marley isn't good reggae"
Shit vocals
Only liked by the "I got into anime two years ago and I love Japan lol" crowd
>>62050045
hello youtube comments
Which list is more accurate? Sorry for small size but it should be big enough to read the titles.
>>62050036
They can be, but all dull bands don't sound the same you walnut.
>>62050029
THIS 2bh
Decent Japanese bands get overrated as fuck around here strictly because they're Japanese and they don't shitty J-pop/anime music.
>>62050029
>If an American band made the SAME exact album with no changes
Name one american band who has made something remotely similar to Long Season?
>>62049744
i heard it at my first listen. i will never like this album now, such a shame t b h
>>62050085
The list on the right is close to what's popular / respected within Japan, although there are so many Fishmans albums in one place. That thing on the left is definitely made by an American nerd who read Julian Cope's book.
>>62050085
Is the left side as voted on by americans and the right as voted by japanese?
>>62050118
he never said there was an american band with a similar album, only if there was they'd be rated less because they don't have the weeb/exotic factor
pic related, average fishmans fan. go back to tumblr memekids.
>>62049744
>The water noise sounds like shit hitting the toilet water.
>>62049707
This to be honest.
It's chinese fucking shit and a chinaman killed my brother
>>62050085
Right is a much better list
>video game OSTs
kill yourselves
>>62050085
I don't know desu but that Yura Yura Teikoku album is pretty good
huh, I should start spaming it until it becomes a meme
>>62050147
Yeah haha. I find it's a really good method for finding good foreign music on RYM.
>>62050141
Was Fishmans in Japrocksampler? I've never read his books but I've tended to enjoy bands that I heard were included in them.
>>62050150
oh wow
>>62050085
>all those video game albums
RYM confirmed for literal autists.
>>62050150
>they'd be rated less because they don't have the weeb/exotic factor
Give me an example of this, with any other album/artist/genre prove him and yourself rgiht
>>62049707
Truetbh
>>62050244
You... you don't understand what they're saying, do you?
>>62049721
Long Season is actually a meme? I thought it was an album that /mu/ genuinely liked. I mean, I liked it myself
I'm a bit new to this board (only been browsing for 5 months) so I wouldn't know
>>62048350
宇宙 日本 世田谷 (Uchū Nippon Setagaya) is better senpai
>>62050273
It's a "meme album" :^)
>>62050273
meme in this context is slang for bad
>>62050207
I think they weren't part of the era he covered, but it was around five years since I looked at it last. Flower Travellin' Band was included, which is why I said it. I think the book is the only reason so many people know them.
>>62050289
The reading is wrong. 日本→Nihon
>>62050272
Yes, I do, but I want an example of when that case happens.
It's a meme, It will die eventually though, just like Kinoko Teikoku and ミドリ
Oh wait, Shinji died.
Yeah no, the Fishmans meme will prevail.
>>62048350
Why the plops though?
>>62050461
they're fishing
>>62050475
>fishing
>fishmans
Damn..
>>62049889
>>62049915
just because you posted the thread doesn't give you a more valuable opinion than anyone else, drop the name and discuss like the rest of us
>>62050393
it's Midori
>>62050768
it's Green
>>62049744
Lol
>>62050475
>>62050499
But are they necessary?
>>62050791
In that case, "Mushroom Empire". Green is shit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DwTinTO0o9I
>>62049744
that's why I only ( ONLY ) listen to the live version now, I'm serious
>>62049315
Motifs are ideas popping up here and there to give parts of music unity.
Ideas repeated for most of the music's entirety is repetitiveness :^)
>>62051036
It's one song.
