ITT: Albums that you can't even pretend to like. Sure, they're big on /mu/, but for fuck's sake you just can't figure out why. Hell, you're not even looking to be convinced otherwise. You just don't don't like em and you don't even give a shit. Go ahead. Just get it off your chest.
>>63658072
Anything by Radiohead. Just sounds generic alternative at this point, I understand it was revoloutionary or whatever what it came out but at this point I really don't care.
I agree on Spiderland. I quite like Washer and the ending of the album is p cool but I didn't love it at all. I've only listened to it twice though so I'm prolly gonna give it another try

>>63658072
I agree. I remember a lot of /mu/tants claiming it was better than Loveless. Not even close.
you can always tell it's the newest of the new making these threads, it's 2016 and you people are still making threads about entry level /mu/core lol
>>63658111
PREACH IT
>>63658130
>>63658072
It's worth trying. Took a little while for the album to emotionally "click" with me, but now that it has I really enjoy it.
>>63658111
spot on, i think it's impressive how they changed their sound but it's not revolutionary to reinvent your sound
>>63658246
This one took me a long time to like. I listened to it, didn't get it. A year or so later I listened to it, and didn't get it. This past winter, though, I gave it another shot and it just clicked for me.
>>63658246
Just listen again if you like pop, you'll like this. It's just fucking flawless
>>63658193
This. 100% this. I'm not trying to be a dick, but this just sounds like ... rap, and not even that interesting or rap. I went into it with certain expectations on what it would sound like, and it was exactly what I expected.
>>63658246
>>63658607
Not to sound snobbish here, but as for as AnCo goes, MPP is pretty entry-level. It's basically beach boys on lsd-- pretty poppy. If you want a real rewarding challenge check out some of their older stuff, especially spirit they've gone ,spirit they've vanished.
>>63658619
I don't understand when people say this. So all of the classic rap albums by Nas, Wu Tang, Jay Z, Outkast, etc, those must be the most boring piece of shit albums ever then?
>>63658607
shut the fuck up! if it takes you over a year to finally be able to enjoy an album then the album is fucking garbage
>>63658714
Nas and Jay Z are both boring as fuck
>>63658717
>you over a year to finally be able to enjoy an album then the album is fucking garbage
or you're just a fucking pleb who can't get it because you have sheltered taste
>>63658731
So what modern rap other than trap is not boring?
>>63658816
Oh - i'm not that other guy. I like Kendrick and think that TPAB BTFOs Nas in every conceivable way
>>63658140
Portishead?

Yeah. Don't care for it. Loved Third though oddly enough

>doesn't like mbv
i always thought it was the natural evolution of their sound, what did you not like about it?
i mean, it's not as cohesive or coinsistent as loveless, but its highlights (only tomorrow, wonder 2) are fantastic
Spiderland
DSOTM
probably also some others but especially these two.
>>63659273
How can one single person not like so much music..? It's really hard for me to dismiss a single album let alone so many, and while I won't like all albums equally I don't have a problem sitting through top 40 if I have to.

>>63660195
listening to person pitch and fall be kind
ITT: /mu/ falls apart when asked a question about the music they supposedly worship
I don't get pic related. It sounds very repetitive and monotonous. I like the concept though.
>>63659273
I agree with about 90% of this.
>>63659366
No most /mu/core is basic, bland shit that you guys hype because you are too lazy to find your own taste
>>63659977
Not that guy, but for me it's not that I hate them but they do absolutely nothing for me.
That's not even much music anyways
>>63658140
>+Strange Mercy
>+Disintegration
These are quite easily likeable. Worth more listens.
>>63658714
Outkast and Wu Tang aren't boring but Nas and Jay Z are prime snoozefests that didn't age very well imo. Same with pac
>>63660704
>No most /mu/core is basic, bland shit that you guys hype because you are too lazy to find your own taste
what a pleb thing to say
>>63660658
This. Also Joanna Newsom, i just can't stand her voice
>>63661043
Not surprising. Many can't stand her voice. She may have some good music, but that voice is a deal-breaker...
>>63660704
(((((PLEB DETECTED)))))
>>63661063
Yes, some of her songs sounds pretty good, but the vocals ruins everything
>>63661097
I'm sure that I would like her music if it would be instrumental only.
>>63659034
Yeah I find their more triphoppy stuff quite boring. Third is amazing though.
>>63658072
thanks OP, I'm glad someone else didn't buy into the fucking spiderland meme

>>63659273
imagine not liking this much music but you still like a joke band like slint
>>63658714
Yes. They're all pretty boring, which is why TPAB also sounds pretty boring.
>>63658140
>Astral Weeks
I'll second this. I actually love Moondance, but Astral Weeks is boring as fuck. I honestly can't get the hype.
>>63658638
>imblying the reason i didn't like mpp is because it's too challenging
Nice assumptions, bro. I dug a lot of their earlier stuff, but mpp was just too straight forward and bright and poppy.
>Not to sound snobbish here
If you feel you have to write that, then you probably need to rethink what you're writing. It sounds snobbish because you're being a smug cunt. If you are afraid you're acting like a snob, it's because you are.
Pic related. I want to like it because I love Elvis Costello, especially his early stuff, but it's just fucking boring. I don't get it, and I'm over trying to get it. Armed Forces is a thousand times better.
>>63659273
>anything by Death Grips after ExMil
Hell, I'd say anything by DG.
>the early Daft Punk albums
I think Discovery is the only interesting thing they did.
>Hospice

>anything by Deafheaven
A-fucking-men.
>anything by MF DOOM
I'll disagree here.
>The Soft Bulletin and Yoshimi
I think The Soft Bulletin is waaaay the fuck overrated in their discography. It's not bad, but it doesn't deserve the knob slobbering it gets.
>Yeezus
Yes.
>This is Happening
Yes.
>Donuts
Eh, it's good background music.
>Lonerism
It's good, but not spectacular.
>Weezer 1994 (along with everything else except Pinkerton, although that one still has cringy lyrics I can't stand)
I get people not liking early Weezer. I think if you embrace the cringe-worthy lyrics it's pretty good.
>Selected Ambient Works 85-92
I think he's just overrated as fuck. That album is interesting for its time.
>Blackstar
Yep.
>In Rainbows
Definitely not their best.
>Reflektor
Fuck. I forgot about that one. It died a quick death here.

TOP KEK, pic related
>>63662333
checked
which part of spirit of eden is in radiohead? (not fanboying just asking for reference points)
It's shit.
Downloaded pic related today.Gave it a listen.
Don't see the appeal with it desu.
Didn't hate it and it wasn't that bad to listen to, but i just don't get all the praise it gets. I usually like hip-hop as well.
May give it a few more chances before i give up on this.
>>63658111
Also I'm not as big a fan of Radiohead as I previously was, I still appreciate them a great deal for the following reasons:
>They have written some great songs with interesting strucures (e.g. Paranoid Android, the use of the octatonic scale in Just)
>Jonny Greenwood's implementation of techniques used by modern classical music, while not necessarily unique, keeps their sound distinctive when it's used
>Thom Yorke's voice is gorgeous (I know some people disagree with this, but it's what I think)
> The transition from Pyramid Song into Pull/Pulk gives me a physical feeling which no other music has quite managed to replicate
That said, I do agree that they are overrated by fans. But they are very talented musicians who can write good songs, and not just "generic alternative".
>>63662421
Both Laughing Stock and Spirit Of Eden sound practically identical to Kid A / Amnesiac era Radiohead, especially the latter. Even the vocals.

AnCo, i just don't get it. i mean i do get it musically, i understand why ppl like it, but i just don't like it

This. I love hip-hop but this album did nothing for me.
I am way more into like "gangster" type themes in hip hop and this was way too soft for me.
>>63662537
Please do. It's not an album that really hits you on the first listen.
I think what I like best about it is that it has feeling. I can't help bobbing my head to it.
>>63662971
I will. There are many albums that grew on me over several listens. One example is MF DOOM. Didn't like mmm food and Madvillainy when i was first introduced to him, but now he is one of my favourite rappers.
I always give albums a couple of chances before i truly give up on them.
>>63662971
>>63662537
Donuts is a grower.
>>63663094
Yeah I feel you. On my first listen I had a really similar opinion to you. I didn't not like it but I didn't see anything striking.
Took molly this last weekend and bumped donuts in a room full of like 15 other people, it was pretty sick. They mostly listen to EDM and dubstep type absolute shit music but they were feeling Jay Dee.
>>63659273
My god I almost had a heart attack while reading this
MERCURY REV
fuck that cringe shit
>>63660195
I think that STGSTV is pretty much the best from their acoustic and skreeches days, SJ from their poppy synths one (probably the hardest to click in). Can't really compare them, but after that AnCo is mastered.

I don't dislike Aphex Twin. I physically own two of his albums. I just find a lot of his stuff to be underwhelming. I do like SAW a fair bit, but not quite as much as other people seem to.

Nice 69 by the way ;)))))))))
Most music desu, but what I really can't get into anything from is western pop and rock from the 60s thru 80s. It's all just the same shit, it's all so boring and most of the praise I ever see for that kind of stuff is for lyrical content, like the music is so uninteresting that it's the only big distinction you can make between two songs by the same artist
Any and all metal. If it is metal, I assume it sucks.
For me it is a lot of Postrock, kinda. I mean, I like listening to it I guess, but I find it kinda draining and exhausting. I can't say if I really enjoy it, though I listen to stuff like Tortoise or *shels relatively often.
well i tried to open to the rock/pop genre, ive liked techno, punk and reggae my whole life.
and i tried to listen to AnCo's merryweather and i found it flat, like repetive noises, i liked 2 songs (tough they get old after one listen). so i moved to tame impala, didnt liked it, found it the same thing, listened to red velvet underground, same.
i dont know what to listen new, i cant enjoy those things :/
>>63664847
Hey, uhh, there's another settlement...

can't enjoy this one either
and posting so just makes people say nice meme
>>63663359
I enjoy 'Ladies of the Canyon' but this is a boring piece of crap.

Give it a few more listens, or give Welcome to Detroit and Jaylib a listen, Donuts is pretty intense Dilla even though it's my favourite album ever.
>>63665330

>>63663700
If I can help with one of these it's benji: It's a stream of conciousness--sort of like a mid life crisis of an album. Every song is linked by death whilst keepng the overall tone of the album. It's about hypocrisy and love and hate and panera bread. Lot's of emotion, and the lyrics make you think hard about life, especially if you've ever lost someone close to you.
>>63658193
This, and pretty much every hip hop I've heard.
>>63667363
keeping the overall tone of the album relatively upbeat***
Sorry, I'm slightly exhausted
>>63658638
Animal Collective is my favorite band and has been for quite some time, and I personally think MPP is much more interesting and evolved than Spirit. It's not cut and dry, my friend.
Blackgaze? Post-black metal? More like trashy atmospheric skramz desu.
Don't get me wrong, I enjoy old screamo and that new Loma Prieta album is goat.

this album is pretty chill, but I prefer red
>>63665189

Ah, yes, dismissing an entire genre. I can understand not liking King Crimson, but I have no doubts in my mind you have not even tried any more great prog artists/bands like Yes or Zappa. Hell, you may have never heard KC and want to shitpost about it. I thought electronic music was garbage until I gave it a chance. Now it's one of my favorite genres.

It's like they're NOT even trying to sound good*
>>63670338
The album Grimes? By whom?
Now seriously: what album of her you don't get?
>>63670305
Cut me deep, anon. You'll never experience the raw grit of earlier modest mouse, from back when they'd do coke and drink and write music.
Really this album was a push back against the strip malls and suburbs that were going up everywhere around seattle in the 90's. Check out the song Polar Opposites. It might make a little more sense.
>>63670532
I'm not really a fan of grimes either. It's not particularly unique. She does what she does well, and no doubt she's talented to put that sound together solo, but it doesn't touch me.
>>63670932
I feel the same about many talented artists. Their music doesn't do anything to me. Thankfully, I love all Grimes' albums.
I respect all of your opinions, and Spiderland is one of my favorite albums of all time. Did I discover it because of /mu/? Yes. I also discovered many other albums and artists I didn't like through /mu/.
I love it all the same.
>>63662333
I'm digging this. About halfway through. I see what you were talking about. A lot of people confuse revolutionary "to me" and revolutionary "to music"
That's to be expected. Most have no idea what influences their favorite artists have. It would take somebody with special talents of audio memory to fully catalogue the chain of influence and innovation.
This Heat, and that's the kind of music I'm almost always into.
