What would you rate each /mu/core album?
Before you bully remember these are popular for a reason. Also I realized how many of these I haven't heard yet and will fix that ASAP.
unless you have bad taste it should be close to my ratings I think
>>65372538
Legit every album there is below a 5/10
Kid A might be a 6 but that's it
>>65372591
>these are popular for a reason.
Because they are drummed up by publications and people without any critical knowledge of music as an artform.

LYSF is just so average. It's not musically interesting in the slightest. The use of odd time signatures and the incorporation of instruments not usually used in rock music has been done many times before. Plus it spawned so much shitty crescendo-core. STGSTV was at least an attempt at innovation by combining harsh noise, freak folk, and noise pop.
>>65372924
alright hang on I'll do a chart, but I'm going to rank them relative to eachother, though I'm guessing no matter what my ratings are, you'll say that they're bad
>>65372591
>popular for a reason
because they appeal to the most common denominator
aka you
>>65373069
Why is the most common denominator bad?
Also, many of these are only appealing to the most common denominator if you examine the cross section of /mu/ users, who have far, far different tastes than the general public, as is demonstrable by examining charts.
I haven't listened to much of /mu/core sorry goys
>>65373069
>most common denominator
It's "lowest" you illiterate
>>65373201
Listen to Pet Sounds, Loveless, and Pink Moon RIGHT NOW
>>65373055
>The use of odd time signatures
Name one in LYSF.
>and the incorporation of instruments not usually used in rock music has been done many times before.
What's notable is the incorporation of spoken word, as well as the symphonic format of each part. There's a formal continuum to it all that brings it closer to classical music than most records before it because it's so thoroughly structured.
>STGSTV was at least an attempt at innovation by combining harsh noise, freak folk, and noise pop.
But it's not good at any of those things: the melodies are awful, the part writing/voice leading is amateur, the noise isn't even very sophisticated. It's an amateur album all around. An interesting first album but nothing more.

>>65373250
>Name one in LYSF.
I'm not going to listen to the whole damn album to find it, but I recall there being a section in 11 in one of the songs.
>What's notable is the incorporation of spoken word
How is that notable? Incorporating spoken word into rock music has been done since the 60s, probably before.
>as well as the symphonic format of each part. There's a formal continuum to it all that brings it closer to classical music than most records before it because it's so thoroughly structured.
Yeah, not really. The song structures are certainly different from rock music, but ironically those structures are much more similar to the structure of classical music. LYSF is pretty much just introduces a theme, repeats it louder and louder, then moves on to the next one. There's no returning themes or development or exposition. It's just a theme with a crescendo.
>But it's not good at any of those things: the melodies are awful
Subjective.
>the part writing/voice leading is amateur, the noise isn't even very sophisticated. It's an amateur album all around. An interesting first album but nothing more.
The songwriting and production is more complex than literally anything else AnCo has done. Especially past HCTI. Not saying that makes it good, but it's certainly not amateur. It's pretty impressive that they could pull that off as teenagers actually.
>>65373427
That's not necessarily true. It just means they enjoy the album and/or realized how easy it was to compose music like that. That doesn't make it good.

Thing is, I can listen to HCTI, Sung Tongs and all of their other "weird" early works with a straight face. Even fucking danse manatee is more sensible to me.
It's just STGSTV that has never "clicked" for lack of a better term. The songs feel either uneventful or flat out painful to listen to (the intro track and untitled.)

Nope, has to do with newfaggotism. People who inflate ratings usually listened 20 albums at best. Just take a look at the amount of Radiohead's albums with 10s.

If you don't listened to it, don't even bother to post the chart. You can literally listen to all of those albums in a single week.
But fool am I to think people here browse /mu/ more than a few days.
>>65374187

>>65374543
cant argue with the first one i guess, but still, if someone wants to give a radiohead album a 10 that doesn't really mean you can gauge how much they've listened to.
let me rephrase the second argument.
Not everyone CARES enough to go through every single fucking album /mu/ wacks off to. that doesn't mean you can't rate what's there.
Y'all are getting mad at people for not being as dedicated to music as you are, that's pretty petty,

aldean is honestly a 6/10
We need to stop usage of the word "/mu/core". By calling music as big, innovative, and influential as Neutral Milk Hotel, Animal Collective, Radiohead, and countless others "/mu/core" we are implying that this music is defined by the fact that it is frequently discussed on /mu/, the music board on the esoteric otaku website 4chan. That is how the English language works. In reality, the opposite is true. /mu/ is defined by the presence of these artists being discussed. In a way, you can say /mu/ is a Neutral Milk Hotel-core board.
To expand on this idea further, let's apply this logic to real life scenarios. If my friend, let's say his name is Jacob, likes a band, let's say Radiohead, I say "My friend Jacob really likes Radiohead". I don't say "Radiohead are a total Jacob band". If anything, I say the opposite, by saying "Jacob is a total Radiohead guy". Because, you see, Radiohead are much larger than Jacob. The same should apply to /mu/ as it does to Jacob. It's foolish and possibly autistic to think bands /mu/ likes are "/mu/core" when /mu/ is a music board on an esoteric otaku website with traffic of about 1000 original users daily (the board, not the site. If you think there are 25 million "/mu/tants" you're delusional). What's ironic, is that /mu/ often accuses Reddit, /v/ and /a/ of autism. Nobody on Reddit calls Queen "Reddit-core", nobody on /v/ calls Deus Ex and Morrowind "/v/ideo games", and nobody on /a/ calls Evangelion or K-ON "/a/nime". This behavior is exclusive to /mu/.
To put it simply, if you use the word "/mu/core", you either don't know the basics of the English language or how it works, are delusional, or have autism.
