I always want to like /dark/ threads but all they ever are is lists of unlabeled youTube links of songs anyone into the genre(s) have heard with no descriptions or reasons for anyone not already into the genre(s) to click on them

That said:

...a classic from a great forgooten 90's dark psychedelic Seattle band. Their shows always had great light shows and effects and they really stood out from all the flannel bands at the time, check 'em out.

Also, What's /dark/'s opinion on gothic metal?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aqyjQ6-avK8
sure the music is kinda cheesy, but its no worse than anything on TSOM's last album and the video has heavy equipment being homicidally operated by a sexy goth chick, which is a fetish of mine

Looks like our asshat got assblasted. /dark/'s proneness for ass pain is remarkable.

Check this out:

I think that most genuine /dark/ies do the right thing and leave image board culture behind. It's full of normshits anyway and nothing valuable new is created out of it.

Also, opinions on Vampyre Rodents? Imo they were pretty refreshing considering the 90's were full of NIN copycats. Some funky ass, heavy industrial shit.

So what's going on here?

>>64164776
Apparently we spam links and no one discusses nothing until th thread eventually 404s. Shame, these threads used to be pretty good. Also, is that pic the freshest new meme?

>>64164821
this

Am I the only one who thinks this compilation is a tad overrated?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PoALgxUfS58&list=PL8CD4A6F687BB48BA

It has some gems but most of it is unremarkable, by the numbers post-punk/goth, it all sounds too similar and same-y and the hooks don't really save it.

>>64165214
>most of it is unremarkable, by the numbers post-punk/goth

First of all, the reason it might sound by the numbers from today's perspective is because it's paved the road for countless bands.
Second of all, the reason it's not by the numbers is because even with all its copycats it has retained an inimitable originality thanks to all the disparate influences reflected in the music and what it does with them. Bits of everything from the bleaker moments of 60s psychedelia to the primal ugliness and urban decay reflected in bands like The Stooges and Suicide to the works of Leonard Cohen and Tom Waits to the muscle of fucking Motorhead and even early electro and synthpop can be found in it, while the bands which followed in the wake of the Sisters just imitated the Sisters. Not even the less obvious elements of their (early) music such as their utter minimalism and monochromatic metallic bluntness, but just the superficial impressions of its bombast and downtrodden romance.

>it all sounds too similar and same-y

I suppose I can agree with that but to me their sound is just so great that I have no problems with that.

>and the hooks don't really save it.

The band wasn't interested in writing pop hits at that point. Hooks weren't the focus. The focus was on making music that was stark and rough and ugly while still having a romantic and human element to it behind all the drum machine pounding and terse basslines.

I always thought that the true contemporaries to early Sisters were bands like The Fall and Chrome and Big Black, not fucking Bauhaus and The Creatures.

>>64165828
Any examples on how they take from Cohen, Waits and Suicide? Really interest. It has been a while since I've heard Some Girls so I'm a little foggy, although the post I made was based on the impressions I remeber I had from the record.

Also, although I agree about the romantic/ugly dichotomy, I always thought they put some attention in their hooks from time to time (Floodland is a good example of that). They have some fantastic hooks after all.

>>64164776
I bet this is your thread: >>64165924

>>64165961
>Cohen, Waits

Their influence can be felt more in the lyrical department and the overall mood of the music than in any concrete songwriting elements. The very name of the band was taken from a Cohen song.

The influence of Suicide is all over the place though. From the very minimalist and heavily repetitive bent of the music to the backbone of the whole thing being a drum machine to the way the band took the utterly synthetic and artificial nature of its electronics and managed to imbue them with serious amounts of grit and scuzz, to their live shows at the time which followed Suicide's steps in how much focus there was on being as loud and abrasive as possible.

>I always thought they put some attention in their hooks from time to time (Floodland is a good example of that).

Floodland has plenty of hooks yeah(even a good amount of the material compiled on Some Girls does), but the early stuff wasn't fueled by the same intentions which fueled Floodland.
Eldritch achieved pretty much everything he had in mind with First And Last And Always as far as artistic ambition went, and Floodland was made with the intention of being a huge over-the-top pop album.

>A thread full of unlabled/untitled youtube links.

Yeah. Go fuck yourselves.

>>64166221
This is generally a problem on /mu/. Actually the mods should enforce the labeling of YT links but, you know, janitors are janitors. Is the omission of artist & track name even a reportable violation?

>>64166336
It's been getting on my nerves for awhile now especially when you click on a link and it's a rickroll or some other irrelevant b/s. But no it's not a reportable offense.

>>64161868
>Nice music discussion, btw

Albini has said in interviews he modeled Big Black's drum sound after TSOM

>>64166202
Yeah First And Last is amazing. Are there any bootlegs or live albums that showcase their abrasive live shows? Would love to listen to those. Yeah I guess the Suicide influence was pretty obvious with the drum machines and minimal sound. didn't know Eldritch was a fan of Waits and Cohen though, good to know.

is industrial and ebm popular in the us?

>>64167835
Are industrial and ebm popular anywhere besides Germany?

What went wrong?

Will it get fixed by their next LP?

Is there really a goth revival happening?
