Master of Reality is the only worthwhile Metal album
I can only enjoy obscure experimental music now because I'm afraid of not liking more famous albums.
I think Exuma s/t is incredibly overrated
Hella boring.
DOOM's flow makes me want to take a shower. It's like some super fat guy obsessed with talking about food and comics huffing and puffing in you're face for an hour.
Rod Stewart is my favorite songwriter

>>65413957
I kind of agree. I've been listening to some of the bigger funk releases and can't really get into the genre.
>>65414101
It was a typo, friendo. :-)
Have a glass of water.
I've never gotten the appeal of this guy. I've only listened to GKMC and TPAB and only liked about 2-3 songs from each album
GKMC is plagued by shitty early 2010's production and TPAB has a few fun tracks but the rest have boring-ass production and Kendrick has too many cringeworthy lyrics for me to consider him some "profound intellectual" like hip-hop fans do.
>>65414130
Sure it was :)
i love flying lotus to bits but his songs are really short so 50% of his albums (especially You're Dead and Until The Quiet Comes) are just pointless filler.
Even Cosmogramma has one or two filler tracks.
>>65414120
same. Disco, jazz and even soul are so much better.
I really just don't like hip-hop that much. I like Illmatic and Endtroducing, but to be honest I'd much rather spend my time listening to some psychedelic rock than even the best hip-hop.
>>65414030
Emotion by CRJ is amazing. Try it
I still use iTunes because I'm too lazy to figure out how to use Foobar

Opeth is still one of my favorite bands. Everything from Morningrise to Ghost Reveries is sweet, and Orchid & Watershed aren't far behind. Everyone insisted I would outgrow them, but here I am in 2016 still loving Opeth. Sorry /mu/

When I was a sad individual my favourite band was Radiohead. Now I'm happier my favourite band is Animal Collective. My favourite solo artist is still Sufjan Stevens.
>>65414204
I do because im too lazy to import all my music into a different program. It would literally take me weeks.
>>65414153
I really don't see how Kendrick's lyrics are cringy. The production isn't boring on TPAB, in fact, I would say it's a lot better than the production on most rap albums
I think this is the greatest album since Arturo tuscinini
>>65413957
Can You Get To That and Hit It and Quit It are great songs
>>65413972
for me it's Houses of the Holy, which is the most atypical metal album, 'cause it's the least-oppressed by mysticism/mythology and/or darkness
>>65414045
Dambala was interesting the first time I heard it, but it's not a great album
>>65414097
>favorite songwriter
>not singer
>>65414120
the biggest releases weren't albums, but James Brown's singles. if you haven't heard the Star Time box you don't know funk yet
>>65414182
I go back and forth on this. sometimes I put on Cosmogramma or Until The Quiet Comes and it's glorious, but other times it's just irritating
>>65414186
why not all?
>>65414191
as soon as you have people restricting themselves to the repetitions of a looped sample or a series of machines (drum, synth), then there's no chance something unexpected can happen - all of it hits my ear as smoothed-out pop music
I really like all Ozzy albums 1980–1991
One of the records that shaped my taste is Elton John: Duets
My favorite song is Kiss—I Love It Loud
I think Sonic Youth are too pretentious to be really enjoyable
This is my least favorite Velvet underground album (Excluding Squeeze)
>>65414191
listen to dalek yo
best rockist hip-hop
radiohead is still my favorite band
>>65414182
feel this, honestly I think he peaked with Los Angeles
I hate psych rock, and I hate people who enjoy it.
I have a problem listening to most (modern) white people music because of the mostly whiny lyrics.
This is my favorite Animal Collective.
Born to Die and Slipknot's s/t are in my 5 favourite albums list
>>65414030
I'm not sure what you mean exactly. Do you mean that you're put off listening to acclaimed music because you're worried that you won't like it? Why?
>>65413957
I prefer post-Black Album Metallica to pre-Black Album Metallica.
>>65414191
If you want to listen to psychedelic rock rather than hip hop then listen to psychedelic rock
maybe hip hop isn't for you, maybe it will be in the future. go with flow my bro.
I still haven't listened to in the aeroplane over the sea.
>>65414308
But Opeth are great, anon. You carry on.
My major beef with every "10/10 GOAT" album (Beatles stuff, DSOTM, OK Computer, etc.) is that while they have a really cool variety of ideas in there, none of the ideas get explored all that well. While I still think they are pretty good, their philosophy towards making a good album is no different than generic radio pop's in that generic radio pop takes what's hip and waters it the fuck down while those so called 10/10 best ever albums take not only what's hip, but other stuff that's also cool and waters it down into one package.
That being said, I do love The Beach Boys though and imo they are the best pop musicians along with Swans.
>>65414153
completely agree. i think kendrick is way overrated. he has some cool bars and flows SOMETIMES, but for the most part he throws random words and sentences together that don't even make much sense, just like nerdy stuff.
>>65414435
the production is solid i agree with you there, but the SONGS are boring. and lyrically, weird. good messages though i guess.
MY CONFESSION
i think curren$y is the best overall lyricist in hip hop, and has been for over a decade.
>>65413957
>In high school I changed the name of Avril Lavigne's Girlfriend to a Slayer song to hide it on my ipod. Problem was that it was the only "Slayer song" on my ipod. I lent it to this guy one period and he played it... oh the shame
>>65414491
spectacularly bland album, to be honest.
I think The King of Limbs is one of Radiohead's best albums
I think Flood is one of Boris' weakest albums.
>>65414331
>8/10
>used as an insult
I'm gonna have to agree with the guy telling you to go back to middle school
>>65414797
That. It's because most of the albums I've listened to that people love on /mu/, RYM, and elsewhere, have let me down. This is from jazz to hip hop to classical to metal to folk, etc.. I've stopped listening to music that's very popular like /mu/core now and listen to random experimental music I find now because I have no expectation or pressure to enjoy it, and I tend to like stuff more without that. It's stupid but there you go.
>>65414999
Lol I'm not even insulting it, I was just giving my opinion on it. I like the album but it's too overhyped.
>>65414565
everyone agrees with this
It's one of the handful of albums that very rarely gets criticized around here, but Spiderland is one of the worst albums I have ever heard.
>I think vaporwave (and its related genres) is heavily underrated.
I realize it's basically slowed-down '80s synth pop with heavy reverb, but it's branched out a lot since its inception. Certainly a lot more than some genres I listen to.
>I will always resent pop punk.
It is NOT deserving of the its label. It is a jester wearing the rotted skin of punk's corpse and putting shame on the name of pop. It's entirely derivative and thoroughly whiny. I would respect it more of every pop punk band a) wasn't seemingly marketed exclusively to teenage girls, and b) didn't appear to mock punk's tropes so much.
>>65415126
I really like Are We Not Men-era Devo and Damon Edge only Chrome.
>>65413972
This. Actually the first 3 Black Sabbath albums are the only worthwhile metal albums, the rest are just mimics and copycats
Radiohead is pretty good but massively overrated
My top 3 albums are super /mu/-core shit, but I love them so much...
Slint -spiderland is one of the few albums I felt were so outrageously bad that I couldn't finish the listen through. It shares this accolade with oxymoron by Q and like 21 pilots. Idk what is it about that record but it's bad
>>65415276
true, they're pretty average imo
low end theory is one of the worst hip hip albums of all time
Death is a mediocre band
Opeth is cancer
>>65415296
And?
mac demarco has some good songs but his image is so important to who he is as an artist that i am really bothered by his success
>>65415126
agree i don't get the appeal
I listen to almost exclusively hip hop but have never heard illmatic, the black album or 36 chambers. Just never felt a drive to listen to them I guess.
>>65415296
/mu/-core =/= bad
>>65415478
true true
Britney Spears - Toxic is enjoyable.
I've never gave any sort of heavy metal (except black sabbath and it was meh) a chance and never will.
TPAB and MDBTF are okay
>>65414191

>>65414082

I fucking hate this album and everything with doom. You're not alone anon.

Spiderland is only good if you zone out of the music and just make it background music. If i listen closely, the repetition, and bleak tone just bore me.

>>65414742
Agreed
>>65414860
I only listened to 2 of the songs years ago
Let's listen the album today
I honestly feel that most people don't really see the true genius of Yung Lean and especially his GTB peers (Bladee, Thaiboy, Ecco, etc.). His fan base is truly one of the most cringe-y out there, and his albums are full of fillers, but that doesn't change the fact that aesthetically, they really hit a nerve, no actually several nerves. I'm very impressed of Bladee in particular, his persona is so well-played. Generally, there are just so many small, wonderfully inituitive aspects to them and their music, and the music even has a great, very interesting production. Bladee just realized a very good album.
What I'm really trying to say is that I feel SBE+GTB are way above other 'meme rappers' and are one of the most exciting things that has happened in the 2010's
>>65414308
>>65414861
Opeth is the band that got me into music, it's been a few years since then but Opeth is still one of my favorite bands. If you haven't already check out Ne Obliviscaris and Thy Catafalque.
>>65415338
I'd say it's the worst acclaimed hip hop album, but I hope you understand just how bad hip hop can get...
>>65414866
I mean, generally the artists who make those albums end up hating the acclaim and say that they were just making pop music.
>>65414956
There are lots of great moments but it doesn't justify the length. Part 1 is cool though
>>65415225
Early devo is very well respected, the first 3 albums are all great as well as hardcore
I never understood the fuss behind radiohead.
I feel that people who actually havent dipped deep into the music pool end up praising it. Its not bad by any means, its really average.
There has never been a single worthwhile female vocalist in rock
>>65416904
dude - Led Zeppelin is the archetypal metal band, along with Sabbath.
sure, on HotH they also played around with funk (The Crunge) and reggae (D'yer Mak'er); but just saying that it "isn't a metal album at all" is pretty unconvincing.
they might be giants is one of my all time favorite bands and i own pretty much everything they've ever done
not ashamed at all
>>65417762
this is just plain wrong. how can you not like patti smith
most acclaimed psych rock is inoffensive drivel that failed to encapsulate the psychedelic experience (though, really, what can?) and whose assimilation into the commercial music machine destroyed the whatever worth they held in their prime
hip-hop's desperate clutches onto the cliff of irony are the only things preventing it from fully plummeting to the same fate but at the same time hold it back from any serious artistic merit
psych-pop's attempts at a pastiche psychedelic revival on exasperated the worst symptoms of their predecessors and in turn produced complete garbage
most prog rockers, while i respect them as talented musicians, can only dream of melding their virtuosity with the ability to actually write a song as do the best jazz musicians
pop music is a form of thought control
now, for the real kicker that will probably invalidate every word i said in the eyes most people here: sunbather is my favorite album
(someone shoot me please)
>>65414082
I love DOOM and especially Madvillainy but can you give me album recommendations since you don't like it?
>>65413957
I have a shit attention span and have an extremely difficult time sitting through an entire album.
Also I HATE the way Spirit They're Gone sounds and cannot listen to it.
>>65418033
I used to be like this but after forcing myself to listen to full LPs it's all I ever listen to now.
Also I would give STGSTV a second chance. AnCo takes multiple listens to really "get it"
>>65418033
FINALLY! STGSTV it's fucking awful and I don't know how a normal person can listen to such grating sounds.
>>65417176
>Ween are crap
End your fucking life m8
i could never really like Coil or Oneohtrix very much. I just found neither too interesting.
Same with OK Computer. I like King of limbs more.
I really don't like most heavy metal. I hate the canned, overproduced sound that makes it feel so artificial to me.
I don't like Radiohead. I really hate them.
>>65418105
that's how i was with all anco releases but spirit clicked immediately
>>65418106
the dissonant parts are nice they balance out the poppy elements, both avey and panda are at their best in the raw
>>65418200
The dissonant parts sound awful and the poppy parts are still dissonant. I don't know if I didn't "get" the album but I wish I wouldn't.
>>65417945
Hip hop reccomendations?
The 1975 currently make some of the best pop music
>>65418357

i hope you get banned from using the starbucks wifi
>>65417176
I won't disagree with most of these because opinions but you are actually objectively wrong about Kanye.
Even if you hate everything he's done and everything it's spawned, he's changed the entire face of the most popular genre of the last 20 years at least twice single-handedly.
>>65418277
yes
>>65418518
I mean, not really. None that you're likely unaware of, anyhow.
>>65416427
>Spiderland is only good if you zone out of the music and just make it background music. If i listen closely, the repetition, and bleak tone just bore me.
This pisses me off more than just simply disliking Spiderland. It's fine if you think the album sucks, but you're giving completely bullshit advice on how to listen to it.
I love Sunday Morning, Venus in Furs, and Heroin, but the rest seem so uninspired and generic, and Femme Fatale is one of the worst songs I've ever heard.
>b-but it's influential to all of rock music
If the music's bad, the album's bad. Its influence won't change that.
>>65417176
>If you herald avant-garde jazz as one of your favorite genres but don't care about any other types of jazz your whole personality is a sham

tons of modern day stoner rock and doom are as good as early Sabbath, who themselves were not quite as good as Pentagram

Just dl the Memphis collage on what if you're looking for stuff better than Madvillainy.
>>65418825
>tons of modern day stoner rock and doom are as good as early Sabbath, who themselves were not quite as good as Pentagram
well yeah, they have the entire celebrated discography of a band as stepping stones. that's like saying some indie 90's psych pop band influenced by the beatles is better than the beatles
>>65414191
>doesn't know about psychedelic hip hop
>>65415041
You can also listen to the popular artists, without having preconceptions. Just don't look at RYM and stuff like that. Listen to all the artists on 4AD and Amphetamine Reptile and Sub Pop, for example
>>65417176
Heh, a lot of your post I agree with.
But fuck dude. Ween? Fuck. FUCK YOU
>>65417909
aside from sunbather i actually enjoy your perspective
i hate radiohead and have never listened to a single one of their albums
>>65417716
You are very correct. They are basically the last big indie act to be annointed by the media before the glory days of big name acts ended forever. Nowadays there are dozens of acts that are just as good as Radiohead ever was, but everything is too fragmented and niche-oriented for them to rise to worldwide acclaim beyond the level of like a Tame Impala or Foxygen.
Which fucking fine, but it tricks stupid people, who believe music is a popularity contest, into thinking the glory days are over and Radiohead were them.
>>65417909
I don't really know how to argue with any of your views, but fuck dude why do you dislike music so much? I enjoy all the genres you listed and have a great time listening to them and I could give a fuck who derivative any of it is.
Even in their glory days, all these genres were just recapitulations of well-worn ideas anyway. There are classical pieces that eclipse entire umbrella genres of modern music in terms of their compositional sophistication, but that doesn't matter one fucking bit to somebody who is a fan of those genres right?
>>65418893
> that's like saying some indie 90's psych pop band influenced by the beatles is better than the beatles
I agree with this statement as well. Once you hear how much advances music made after The Beatles, it's hard to go back to how rudimentary and polite they sound.
What you see as unoriginality I see as progress.
Unknown Death 2002 was necessary for hip hop
>>65418727
This
If something is influential, that is separate from the actual music, so giving it a bad review for being dated is justified if you are doing that for every other artist/album
I strongly dislike hip hop and rap, and I wish it was still indie and nu-folk that was popular with the hipster crowd.
what is even the point of this thread? "come dump your shitty opinions here!" it's like... assembly line b8. where's the soul? if you're gonna try and get a rise out of people either make your own thread or derail a relevant one. don't piss into an ocean of piss like some faggot
>>65419255
Those genres are still popular with the hipster crowd.
The whole point of modern hipsterdom is genre impartiality. Something you should look into to be frank
>>65419320

But does everyone know that you are more fucked up than me?
>>65419495
whut
>>65418033
>>65418106
I feel the album is fine, but those segments in the beginning and end with the ear-piercing high frequency completely ruins the experience for me. I have to use speakers at really low volume to be able to listen to those parts without my ears seriously hurting.
I really don't get the point of that shit, like it legitimately ruins your hearing if you listen to it at standard volume.
>>65419455
I never said it made you open minded, just saying that they listen to indie music.
Which you seem to agree with.
What the fuck?

>>65420255
/mu/ is probably objectively one of the best boards on 4chan and it's still total shit
>>65420373
no, it absolutely is not.
I have listened to it many times, but I still don't like Trout Mask Replica.
I have even been told that I will "never truly understand or appreciate music" if I don't like it. So the pretentiousness surrounding it plays a large role in why I dislike it.
>>65419157
i actually really enjoy music but find myself embittered by most of what's popular. i more often than not find myself not caring about an album's merit or sophistication or ancestors as long as it clicks all the right buttons (see what i said about sunbather), but i find a good amount of music in each genre i mentioned (yes, i do actually enjoy bits of all except psych-pop) utterly banal and nebulous and thus unrelatable. i've never been able to latch onto such a vacuous cosmopolitanism in music - who hasn't felt heartbroken, frustrated, infatuated, jubilant? who doesn't like a good story or getting fucked up? people have beaten those subjects until long after the horse died, and yet these artists have the audacity to approach them without adding a spice of life or energy. what's worse, as these artists ascend the food chain, their music fits tighter and tighter into the mold of 21st-century totalitarianism, perpetuating the same banal ideas as a means of insidiously dividing and guiding people in the pursuit of profit. look at the top 40, the billboard, most mu-acclaimed modern artists - all total thought control. some just disguise it better than others.
i'm gonna stop there lest my words further devolve into a nigh-psychotic rant apropos of 21st-century totalitarianism. i know i didn't say much about the music i do like but i hope you were able to make some sense of why i dislike what i do.
>>65417820

There's certainly some metal i like. I did really enjoy some Burzum. And I liked Sunbather and some of Liturgy's stuff
I haven't tried much sludge, I should look into more. I tried Leviathan and couldn't get into it

>he never watched extras
pleb
this and having a favourite springsteen are your only crimes tho
>>65421507
>he never watched extras
Is that a TV show?
>>65414308
>>65414861
>>65417365
where do I start with Opeth? Blackwater Park?
>>65421730
generally. I did. in hindsight i think ghost reveries is more accessible, but i guess it depends if you're already into metal or not
of course if you are already into metal then you may just hate them for being more prog than metal
Until like 2 days ago, I had never looked closely at this album cover and thought it was an astronaut instead of a statue.
>>65421877
...holy shit. seriously?
thumbnails have really ruined album art for people
This is the most overrated album by the entirety of /mu/. I see it get circle jerked more than kanye, bowie, radiohead and animal collective combined.
I've listened to it about 10 times through properly and I still don't see the appeal. I just find it so damn boring and whiny.
>>65415527
I have at least 5 Britney Spears songs in my library. She had some banger singles back in the day.
>>65421683
One of Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant's incredible comedy TV shows. It's probably my favourite of all time.
>>65415076
if you have no taste!
>>65422016
The appeal is the recording and production. A lot of the songs off of the EPs and Isn't Anything are definitely better.
>>65422016
listen to it when youre sleepy
>>65422197
I've listened to it going for walks, laying in bed, in the car. I still don't like it. I don't hate it or anything, but I think it's pretty boring.
>>65422168
Yeah, I always found it strange that their debut and their latest release M B V never get posted.
>>65415478
thisthisthis
>>65422016
Turn it up loud and don't browse /mu/ while you listen to it. Just sit back and let it take you in.
>>65422016
It's so universally praised because it's normie repellent, but at the same time really inoffensive.
Put pop melodies under some buzz and memekids will eat it right up.
>>65422325
>normie repellent
I listen to all kinds of music. I still don't enjoy it.
>>65422291
I don't think I'll ever get into this album.
I'm a self confessed hip hop fanatic and I'm a white suburban kid from Australia. My favourite artist is Kanye West and I've listened to MBDTF at least 200+ times.
>>65422574
I haven't heard a single Kanye West song.
Here's a list of albums I fucking hate:
>Untrue
>Lonesome Crowded West
>Hospice
>Is This It
>Post/Homogenic
>Sunbather
>Forever Changes
>Doolittle
>Blonde on Blonde
>London Calling
>Timeless
>All Eyez On Me
>You're Living All Over Me
>Souvlaki
Also Swans are overrated, College Dropout is Kanye's worst album and if you listen to emo in 2016 you should just kill yourself already. Have a good one /mu/
I think assigning a number rating to music is superficial, pointless, and ultimately kind of autistic and borderline rude.
I've found most of /mu/-core enjoyable or at least worthy of appreciation but have not even tried Death Grips because of the ridiculous amount of memes that circle around that name.
Also I just can't get into Pet Sounds, I've tried but it just seems so bland aside from the audio quality which is nice.
>>65422814
>Also I just can't get into Pet Sounds, I've tried but it just seems so bland aside from the audio quality which is nice.
this. same with the beatles, the recording is literally the only enjoyable aspect of their music.
>>65422673
>agree on every album on list except last one
You were so close, m8.
>>65422814
>>65422862
Pet Sounds is just normie core, though. There's one or two guys here forcefully meming and samefagging it in hopes it will become /mu/core.
Don't get memed into thinking it's some grand achievement of modern music, it's just a surf pop album of granny tunes.
I don't listen to full albums as often as I used to, I put my library on shuffle while going about my day instead
>>65422955
I honestly feel like listening to albums that are lauded as having been the influence for whole genres is a lot like doing history homework, most of the time the album is barely anything special compared to what it spawned and becomes something I can't get into.
Few "genre-defining" albums are worth listening to now.
>>65413972
Rust in Peace but otherwise yeah
>>65414082
I disagree but I get that criticism desu, took a bit to grow on me
>>65414153
Get off /mu/ dad
>>65414182
Eh i guess
>>65414191
Hip Hop is by far the best genre in music nowadays. Nothing else is even trying anymore
>>65414201
YES
>>65414564
Let me know when you graduate middle school faggot
>>65414565
You might as well confess that water is wet
>>65414756
...
>>65414860
Despite all the memes it's actually a good album, give it a listen
>>65414866
"best pop musicians along with Swans" ah yes the accessible, radio friendly hit machine Swans...
>>65415126
This claim is actually so bold that I respect it. Good for you mate
>>65415276
Agreed but they are still an incredible band
>>65415338
Fuck you Low End Theory is great
>>65415396
Mac is overworshiped by redditors but he still makes solid music
>>65415431
Are you retarded? How do you claim to like hip hop but have never listened to those albums?
>>65416544
Tyler is dope
>>65417176
You're trying too hard
>>65418727
This is probably the most inspired and non generic rock album in human history. How in the fuck could you even say otherwise
>>65419054
Hates radiohead, never listened to an album... good luck with those downs buddy
>>65420458
TMR is a good album but the people that really like it are super annoying. Albums not for you I guess
>>65422016
No actually the circle jerk is well earned here
>>65422574
There is nothing wrong with this
>>65422976
That's fine, so long as you at least listen to the album once in its proper order.
i loved death grips until i started coming to /mu/
I think this is really average at best. But it's a guilty pleasure.
Also, I think A Thousand Suns wouldn't be so harshly criticized if it was made by any other band besides Linkin Park.
>>65423077
Hip hop is at an all time experimental high. It's amazing.
>>65422955
fuck you, you dense contrarian cunt
Metal is only good without death growls.
Loveless is my least favorite shoegaze album despite liking the genre.
Rock music peaked with 70s Prog, not much has come close since.
I absolutely love Kid A but haven't been able to get into any any other Radiohead album. They make fine background music. Even Amnesiac bores me after Trapped Like Sardines.
>>65423181
Meteora honestly has god tier production.
The music on this album is really cheesy but has some great points.
>>65423237
Amnesiac is low key their best album.
>>65419240
I don't agree.
I do, however, think that Kyoto is a fucking huge single and the peak of Yung Lean's discog. Yung Gud has a nice ear for production.
>>65423237
I feel the same way.
What are your thoughts on the King of Limbs? I found that the short length and improved songwriting made it their most listenable.
>>65422746
word
>>65423337
I haven't actually listened to King of Limbs but In Rainbows was solid, just too long and dragged out so maybe I'd really like KoL, I'll give it a listen!
>>65413957
Sometimes I play music through my laptop speakers. But, to be fair, my laptop has some pretty good speakers for a laptop.
>>65423382
Hopefully you'll probably enjoy it, as it's the only Radiohead album that I feel doesn't outstay its welcome, as even the second half of Kid A can be grating for me on some listens.
I fucking love psychedelic music, prog, and krautrock.
Some of my favorite albums include Can - Tago Mago, Spiritualized - Ladies and Gentlemen, King Crimson - ITCOTCK...and I'm a big fan of stuff like Gila, Amon Duul, Olivia Tremor Control, Tame Impala...anything rocking and psychedellic, really.
I have never listened to a Pink Floyd album through til' completion. I've never really listened to them for more than a couple tracks at a time. Not even Dark Side of the Moon.
I have absolutely no reason/excuse for this, I just have never gotten around to listening to them.
>>65421877
I did too, what the fuck.
>>65422814
I dunno Anon, Pet Sounds may not have clicked for me the first time I heard it but it was hard to go all the way through that record without realizing there was something special there.
>>65414491
No, but it's probably the best hip-hop album
>>65414742
Bait
>>65423516
I'd recommend starting with DSotM, then doing Animals and Wish You Were Here. Hell, if you're into prog, potentially start with Animals or even Meddle.
If you like those, try the first two albums, the Wall, and Momentary Lapse and Division Bell. Then fill in the blanks if you still like what you hear.
this is the best death grips
>>65415126
I don't think it's one of the worst, but I really don't understand why it's considered special.
Talk Talk is SOOOOO much better if we're talking forbearers of post-rock.
I actually like music
And I listen to generic uplifting trance
This album is 10/10 and the definitive expression of pop punk. Honorable mention goes to The Undertones s/t.
Pop punk, as a genre, is generally hit or miss. When it's great, it's GREAT though.
Hybrid Theory is pretty good.
I unironically enjoy Learn to Fly by Foo Fighters.
The Beatles pre-Revolver kinda suck. Post-Revolver, they're "pretty good" at best.
Alot of stoner rock is as good if not better than most classic rock masterpieces, they only get shit on because of the title stoner rock and the whole DUDE WEED LMAO meme.
>>65415126
thanks
>>65418357
FUCK YES FINALLY SOMEONE WHO UNDERSTANDS!!!!!
>>65418727
I mostly agree. I think femme fatale is alright, but the only songs that deserve all the hype are Sunday morning and heroin.
>>65421481
Bait
>>65423077
Dunno. I've just never felt like ever listening to them. The most I've heard was a mashup of Cream with some other song and a little bit of NY State of Mind. They just never interested me. Sure they were influential but I never really cared for them. Lol you don't need to enjoy the most popular records in a genre to love it. Remember hip hop is a fucking gigantic genre with thousands of rappers.
>>65424030
That's an objective fact though.
>>65413957
kill v. maim is my favourite song. i also own wolf by tyler the creator.
>>65415126
Thank you so fucking much. The lyrics are so ham-fisted and cheesy to me. The sudden jumps in dynamics are so contrived as well, like such a forced reach for emotional change that it just makes me laugh at how inorganic it all is. But then someone may come across and tell me that's the point, I don't really care though
>>65417176
I don't understand your point about Joanna Newsom. She's only really discussed in smaller communities I thought?
>>65424166
Black parade is better
>>65424494
He probably means on /mu/. And I agree.
>>65424582
You agree with him? What don't you like about her?
>>65423993
Thanks.
Halfway through DSotM now, actually. Its good, not incredible, but damn good so far. The Great Gig In The Sky is a great high point...but the whole thing seems...slower, and more strung out than I imagined (without the weird twists and turns I'd expect from, say, Spiritualized). Good, but waiting for another big head banging or ear-opening moment like Great Gig In The Sky. On "Money" now, which I'm familiar with as a track, and its okay (cool song idea, at least).
I'll try Animals or maybe Meddle. Never touched them. The only other Pink Floyd album I spent time with was Piper at the Gates of Dawn - is there anything else of theirs that's like that?
>>65424620
In fact, I'd add to this saying that Dark Side isn't blowing me away right now because it sounds so...derivative.
Which I know is the opposite of the case. Like a fantasy buff seeing LOTR for the first time and thinking its dull.
people dont like animal collective because the general population of /mu/ likes it
>>65424652
Any Colour You Like is a my favorite moment on the record, for what it's worth.
Keep listening, it's one of those albums that's legitimately good despite the overhype
>>65424619
I agree that she's way overhyped. Even going past her voice her music is well composed but does seem to go in many different directions at once any clear vision and it feels disjointed. I don't think she's shit though but I think calling her the best musician ever like /mu/ likes to do is overrating her a lot.
I've only ever listened to it when in an altered stated of mind and I have enjoyed it every time.
>>65424708
That's honestly pretty fair. A lot of her music is structured in a similar way. I guess the enjoyment I get out of her is her lyrical depth. If you're ever willing/have the time, I really recommend you listen to Cosmia and read the lyrics along with it, they're pretty touching and relatable if you've ever experienced loss.
>>65424620
animals is perfection and the wall is almost better. Wish you were here isn't perfect, but worth it for Shine on you which is a fucking eargasm.
>>65418106
>>65420002
I've never hurt my ears listening to it even at high volumes and unironically think that the first track is the best on the album
just try it more
>>65413957
I only got into Bowie after he died but I really like him now.
>>65422673
most of those albums are great
>be sincere
