>>65289848
But Closer is actually good.
The Used

>>65293338
art
>>65293717
>weezer
MFW
30 Seconds to Mars. Too bad nobody knows about it, because their other albums are kind of mediocre.
If we aren't counting EP's
Deathcrush (EP) 8/10
DMDS (LP) 9/10
Live in Leipzig (Live) 10/10
>>65289848
Closer is better though
>>65293786
Honestly the first four albums from Burzum are all perfect. I can't decide which is the best, but if I had to choose it would be Hvis Lyset Tar Oss. That album is truly incredible.
>>65294675
True
>>65289816
i like danse manatee, but damn, it's not THAT good
>>65294745
Burzum is SHIT.
Although they had other great albums, this is a 10/10
Also
Daft Punk
Justice
Talking heads
Nujabes
>>65290442
those bands all peaked never
>>65295129
agreed, this album really would have been impossible to follow up
>>65295545
Hollowed ground came close and birds was pretty good too but I agree, they'll never top s/t
Also how was there new album, haven't got to it?
>>65295683
eh, it was pretty forgettable like a lot of reunion albums
>>65292213
This, A few gems from the following two releases, but not as good as the first.
>>65289848
Closer is far more beautiful in its sadness and anger, than Unknown Pleasures.
>>65290926
this and Campfire Songs
>>65289861
I don't care for the old KC.
But when Adrian Belew and Discipline came around, I've been hooked ever since.
Listen to Thrakk!
The Verve
Alan Parsons Project
The Charlatans
Suede
>>65292213
True
>>65290900
>>65289979
>>65289861
>King Crimson
Go listen to Larks', Red, and Discipline again.
>>65289979
>>65290046
>>65290900
How the fuck do you think ITCOTCK is their best album?
>>65289848
>>65289861
>I owned an Unknown Pleasures shirt before actually listening to them
>>65290247
I like brighten the corners and terror twilight the most. I will say the 1st two have the most style.
>>65289816
Sleigh Bells.
Should have released Adventure first.
>>65292213
Lonerism is their magnum opus
>>65294869
kek
Weezer
>>65293768
The Blue Album is far superior
Weezer definitely
>>65293676
fucking wrong
>>65293676
no
>>65296920
this
To all the Joy Division people out there:
I've listened to Unknown Pleasures maybe 3-4 times in the span of 4 years.
Last time I listened to it it was yesterday and I thought the album is mediocre in the worst of ways.
Should I bother with Closer?
>>65296212
How do you not??
Believe me when I say that I fucking love many of their later records, like Red and motherfucking Discipline.
However it is still naïve or straight up contrarian to argue that the collection of compositions off ItCotCK are not the best they ever put together.
I feel like people are only trying to be cool about it because it is their most popular.
It doesn't change the fact that their compositions then were brilliant, ahead of their time, and have aged beautifully.
I mean, fuck, that shit was put together in the late sixties. Discipline's infamous math rock came out way in the 80's when Germany and the Canterbury scene had already been messing with angular and shifting time signatures in the past decade.
Yet few things rivalled In the Court... at the time of its release.
Stop being so anally contrarian man no one cares if you listen to /mu/core anymore
>>65290364
>third eye
That reminds me, Third Eye Blind
>>65296735
>>65296752
>>65296771
Fantano get out
>>65289816
The Beatles (obviously)
Bob Dylan (obviously)
Led Zeppelin
Tom Waits
Talking Heads
>>65293813
you're living on it
>>65289861
Bloc Party's second album was good too t b h. they went to shit after that tho.
Linkin Park
>>65295510
haha
>>65297458
this
>>65289935
It's really just a matter of preference as far as the first two Mercury Rev albums go. I personally prefer Yerself Is Steam just because it's more of my type of thing, but I can definitely see why people would think Boces is their best album.
>>65297267
I don't see why you said "obviously" for the Beatles and Dylan when those are opinions that most people don't share. Also, Houses of the Holy is definitely Led Zeppelin's best album, because it's the only one that doesn't suffer from a lack of consistency.
>>65293676
Is this Fall Out Boy?
>>65293717
Room on Fire is the GOAT Strokes Album
The Moon & Antarctica is the GOAT Modest Mouse Album
dunno about Interpol and Weezer.
>>65297458
Why is the lead singer's voice so weird sounding after Hybrid Theory
>>65297458
A thousand suns and living things are better
I'm not even being contrarian
>>65289848
>not Closer
Literally the pleb tumblr opinion.
>>65290442
>radiohead
>>65298565
objectively wrong since humbug exists
>>65297267
>The Beatles
>Bob Dylan
The Beach Boys
>>65290364
Nirvana
Radiohead
The Smiths
Neutral Milk Hotel
Weezer
Dinosaur Jr
Sonic Youth
Beach Boys
Vampire Weekend
Grizzly Bear
Built To Spill
Modest Mouse
Death Cab for Cutie
Into It. Over It.
The Beatles
My Bloody Valentine
The Flaming Lips
Slowdive
yeah u rite
>>65293338
Cherry picking? Daft Punk's achievements definitely outweigh whatever you think of Robot Rock.
>>65302245
Modest Mouse peaked on the Moon and Antarctica.
>>65297154
Red is definitely better than itcotck
>>65302270
Dude, that whole fucking list was proving the post wrong. Modest Mouse peaked at LCW anyways.
>>65302288
I just saw it from the front page I should have lurked more before responding. LCW is my favorite album from them. Truckers atlas and Styrofoam boots will forever be in my top ten favorite songs to get really high and drive far too.
>>65292213
False. They peaked at Lonerism.
>>65297033
>Should I bother with Closer?
Yes, it's much better and more memorable
>>65290926
this is actually their first album as animal collective
