>>66142286
sick yo
>>66142656
Thanks, loveless is probably my second favorite album
>>66142579
this is kinda cool. i can see why it would be a favorite if i was a sad boi. also surprise im drunk and will listen a good chunk of any record you guys post that i dont already know.
>>66142690
Happy Independence Day anon (:
>>66142715
thanks desu, i live alone so this is what i do when im bored and dont wanna talk to people.
>>66142656
>>66142684
what appeals to you about loveless? i know its serious mu core and im listening to it for the first time. im at about a quarter chub but nothing special so far.
>>66142690
same I love threads like these almost better than chart rec threads
>>66142839
It is, without a doubt, overrated.
It's a decent album but it gets way too much credit on here
>>66142839
I just love the wall of sound and the buried melodies. When You Sleep and Sometimes are gorgeous. But I love the way it all kind of blurs together like a hazy dream. It's also sort of nostalgic for me. Reminds me of being up late or walking in the rain.
>>66142885
yeah man, i just like listening to the shit that has effected other peoples lives to see if it will have the same effect my favorite albums have had on me. i wish mu was more of just people checking out shit and discussing what it means to them.
>>66142896
im not trying to be a dick, it sounds like a cool record so far but it seems like its easy to forget that youre listening to it. theres no aspects constantly grabbing my attention. its good but im not hanging on every note.
>>66142839
it's a little hard to put into words why I love the atmosphere/textures on it so much but it's also sensual, dreamy, beautiful all while having both a general air of gleeful experimentation and some really incredible melodies.
there's not a ton to say about it substantially, for me at least, but lyrically and sonically it's an album that just kinda feels like the ecstasy of being in love, or having a great time/ experience w friends, or being in a city you love, etc. I don't enjoy it in a particularly cerebral way like I do good political records or something
I will say though I hated it the first time I listened to it and that it reveals itself to u w more focused listening + when you're in the right mood for it
>>66142182
>23
>been a NEET since I was 18
>pic
>>66142923
the blurred hazy dream thing makes sense. the ending melody to somtimes with the synth and and humming is pretty awesome. ive heard other stuff with this same vibe but this is probably the best ive heard it done. wall of sound? it doesnt sound that sonically overwhelming to me the way that other stuff does. also buried melodies, yeah, killin.
>>66142996
its starting to grow on me for sure. listening to when you sleep and i definitely understand what you mean when youre saying stuff about love. beautiful description anon, thanks.
>>66143062
the fucks a NEET m8? also, yeah this is a cool record, listening to drive to the crystal planet rn.
>>66143078
I mean, it is from 1991, so even something like astrobrite will sound way more overwhelming in the wall of sound department
>>66143282
i was thinking more like classical or a lot of free jazz or sunn, like crazy drone shit is more of a wall of sound. this record sounds pretty tame in that department, but i also listen to alot of pretty out shit so maybe im just used to it.
>>66143343
Yeah, I get that. I heard loveless before I heard more intense wall of noise stuff, so to me I still associate it with that aesthetic, even though it's not that overwhelming.
>>66143062
seriously, this is sick.
ah, hate to see this thread die. i need more shit to listen to.
neet for a while now...I need a job
>>66143719
album name?
and again, whats a neet
>>66143741
how do you not know what a neet is....not to shit on you or be rude but be honest how long have you been on 4chan?
>>66143750
eh, like three months. im just on here looking for more records to listen to. i listen to like 5 or 6 new albums a day and ive run out of shit frankly.
>>66143806

here's a short list of good albums
>>66143062

Tell me anon, how do you do it??
>Audio Engineer
>20
>>66143911
ive listened to all of that besides some of the pitchfork core and almost no metal, i hate metal in general. aside from that, fuck your chart white man, ex. >>66143062, insane album, just found out about it from this thread. charts are dumb and i hate that shit. dont give me a chart.
>>66144072
if you haven't listened to everything on there at least twice shut the fuck up
>20
>NEET
>>66144040
great album choice man, makes sense that an audio engineer loves it. song writing and over all sound is so goood/ahead of its time. it makes me think that george might have had more to do with defining the over all sound of the group then people think.
>18
>student
>>66144117
haha fucking why would i, most of the stuff on there i didnt like the first time. and the shit that i did ive probably listened to more times then i can count. >>66144040
another dank album im listening to cause of this thread that wasnt on your jive list man. charts are dumb, if u just listen to whats on charts then you miss sooooo much fucking amazing shit that pitchfork and mu doesnt usually jack off too.

Oh, a person I went to high school with, not the artist.
>I might like Susurrate more than the EP
>>66144345
I've never shopped there in my life haha
I've just got a deep personal connection with this album. I was in the right zone when I listened to it for maybe the third or fourth time, and it really hit me
>>66144388
hahahahaha holy shit, i respect the dubs, but this is fucking retarded. thats not how music works m8.
>>66144435
fair enough, im the same way with emergency and i. its not a bad record. hipsters just jammed it so far up their ass i cant take it seriously, its almost a meme.

Apologize to our lord and savior Ezra
>>66144574
...yes it is. if its actually good then i should know it the second i hear it but if listen to something and it doesnt make me feel anything then why bother m8.
>>66144600
wow, an 18 year old rite aid cashier that loves kreisberg? alright man, u got my attention here. why this record? i love jazz and im getting a masters in it so i've listened to a whoooolle bunch of stuff and kreisberg is killin but like this is your favorite record? ever? why?

>student/musician/artist studying communications and philosophy
Not trying to pursue music but it is what I have the most fun doing. I'm thinking about working up to a managerial job working at CartoonNetwork/[adult swim].
>>66144715
because it's content is actually dense and requires multiple listens to fully appreciate
this is the part where I insult your intelligence and call you a child who needs easy listening albums spoonfed to him
>>66144779
I'm a jazz guitarist and his originals and takes on standards are really interesting and honest, if that's a word to describe it. I just love his sound and the overall flow and non-pretentiousness of the record. And obviously, it's Bill Stewart.
Also a big Grant Green and Pat Metheny fan
>>66144821
>musician is job
>"not trying to pursue music"
>"thinking about" working up to a very high-up position
wew lad
>>66144914
uuggghhh jesus man, yeah sure whatever, but if the record is dense and shit then it should still make me feel something the first time i hear it, right? i dont have to pick apart all the different guitar tracks and shit to know if it is sensitive music that connects with me on an emotional level. youre thinking too much. and also fuck off or whatever since were on 4chan and youre being obnoxious. if it connects with u emotionally than it does it the first time.
neet lyfe
>>66144929
oh nice man, have you heard much paul motian trio with bill frisell on guitar, shit is killin, like really really killin. im still surprised its your all time favorite but it is a good record, one of my favorite criss cross records. also im pretty sure me and larry grenedeir are the only people alive who play spirocores E-D with a velvet anima G so that makes me like him more.

I listen to a lot of instrumental stuff while I work so it doesn't distract me too much. The thing is this actually distracts me. It's really good.
This is my real answer, not my smug "I like it" answer. >>66145524 (this is me)

Idk if you will like it, I don't really know what kinds of music you enjoy. I got it in 03 and its just got a lot of memories attached to it both good and bad. It also got me to try different tunings and writing different types of music too.

Somebody has to stop in every once in a while to make sure you don't go shitting up the charts with bad albums by bad bands little bruh. Plus I dig a lot of the new stuff coming out. I can tell you that in that 10yr gap between us the albums posted in this thread have been the same from the start and grew bigger as the board added new mu core to the chart.

The album plays like a substance-packed train passing by in your head
>>66146306
oh yeah man, the personel list on that record is long and insane, im forgetting the name of the collective but alot of the cats on it were in the same composeres guild.
>>66146116
That's cool man, glad you enjoyed it. They use a couple different tunings on the album but I got into all the open tunings and variations then just went from there tweaking different shit.

mostly just dont know how to react, clearly youve suffered alot, the white man comment wasnt about race/white privilege, im just the only black guy on 4chan and love calling people white man. i sincerely meant good luck with life white man, the meme is just cause i think its fucking funny.
>>66146471
Maybe 30 min to a couple hours. Just depends if yr threads are good. I do have life outside of this place that dictates priority over searching for dank memes and checking the pulse of new music. At least you know some people do end up in having an adult life vs turning 30 and being a neet.
