The current problem with /bleep/ is that in recent years there has a new generation of underages posters flocking to 4chan influenced by "ironic" and "cringe" comedy which has become mainstream in internet culture. Because of this, along with a sharp decline in active regulation by janitors and moderators, the quantity of shitposting, "ironic" baiting, idiotic memes, completely obnoxious spamming, inflammatory trolling, and disruptive namefags/tripfags has exponentially increased and the proportion of these low-quality posts to legitimate discussions is shockingly high. Essentially, its completely corrupted /mu/ and its board culture, /bleep/, being on /mu/, has had these sorts of posters slowly seep in and alter the dynamic in these threads. And once that sort of posting behavior is replicated enough, certain other posters will be persuaded that this is acceptable and will join in (ie. group mentality), resulting in very repetitive constant spamming and forced memes in every thread now. Like on /mu/ where most of the current memes/shitposts/trips have become widespread due to shear exposure from constant spamming, with every repetition, this posting behavior becomes more and more engrained in /bleep/ culture.
This doesn't have to be the way things are.
I know most of us are not setting out to ruin things. We've got a lot of love in us for /bleep/, the music, the clubs, the people, the culture. I think most of us want to do the right thing. It's more a question of
will power, self discipline and circumstances.
Seriously, when you post, just be vigilant about whether you're helping maintaining a proper balance of on-topic /bleep/ posts or semi-related tangental posts. Be cognizant of the state of thread and simply ignore/report any inflammatory or disruptively off-topic posts/blemes/shitposts.
Bleeps and bants, not blemes and bait.
It's that simple lads.

If you missed last week's thread, DON'T WORRY. It's not too late. Here are the links for the mystery tracklist. Download the tracks, record your thoughts/guesses/evaluations for each one, and then come back and post them in the thread. Remember, people will be posting guesses and thoughts in this thread so don't read the thread until you have listened to the music and collected your thoughts in order to avoid spoilers. Track info for this week's tracks will be posted on Saturday, so if you see the thread is close to dying before then, give it a bump.

Posting with names or tripcodes is encouraged as it makes discussion much easier.
1. This reminds me a little bit of the Larry Young album Into Somethin, probably because of the instrumentation. The music sounds kind of typical hard bop but there’s a weird dissonance on the melody. The saxophonist mostly sounds like he just wants to shred. The guitarist played some cool things though. The organ solo wasn’t great and sounded too far in the background. I remember a few weeks ago Jazzpossu put something by Larry Goldings on his organ week so I’ll guess this is him again on organ. 2.5 stars.
2. That intro was cool but then this turns into kind of a standard swinger. I hear keyboards but also piano so I’m wondering if there are two pianists. I have heard enough of jtg’s playlists before to guess that this is probably a Chris Potter/Alex Sipiagin recording. The bass player starts doing some cool stuff during the piano solo. This one actually stayed pretty interesting with the shifting tempos and the way they kept all passing the soloing around. Chris Potter was killing it. 3.5 stars.
3. Sounds like an older recording I would say. The pianist is drawing my attention most here, doing some cool stuff with rhythm. The drummer is also doing some cool things. The trumpet player reminds me of Freddie Hubbard a little bit. Not sure if he ever recorded on Criss Cross. I’m getting McCoy Tyner and Monk vibes at the same time in the piano solo. Sounds like typical post-bop. 3.5 stars.
>>64258973
4. Something different. Sounds more classical almost. I’m not great at identifying string instruments but this seems more like bass than cello. This one is a little bit soundtracky but I like the emphasis on melody and it’s a nice change from the other stuff. It’s very unexpected when the drums come in but I liked it. 4 stars.
5. Starting with a drum solo isn’t usually a winning move for me but then this got cool pretty fast. It feels like there is some Cecil Taylor influence but also a nice melody too and a cool groove. Anybody else getting some Coltrane vibe from this? The energy of it has a sort of a spiritual quality to it. It’s cool when it goes into more of a groove for the piano solo too. Easily my favorite track so far. 4.5 stars.
6. Sounds like we’re back to post-bop with this one. I can’t decide if the drummer is overplaying or not. I think the drumming helps make the piano solo more exciting actually. I wasn’t so sure about this one but the sax player is winning me over I like how he makes the whole group sound a little more “free”. The drum solo was kind of unnecessary but short at least. I liked this one mostly though. Orrin Evans is one of the few Criss Cross pianists I know but I could see this being him. 3.5 stars.
7. This one has an older sound to it too. Not just from the recording but it sounds like 50’s bebop. The pianist was probably my favorite here but other than that I don’t have too much to say about this one. 2.5 stars.
>>64258991
8. This one has a little bit of a call and response thing or something going on that I like. It’s cool when it moves from being so structured right into a very free improv section. But then it switches from that into a post bop swing. I like the sax player. The piano solo is pretty nice too. This one was kind of long but I liked that it kept shifting the feel so that it didn’t get boring. 4 stars.
9. To be honest I spent most of this one waiting for the rest of the band to come in. But then after about three minutes I realized it must be staying as a duet. So maybe I should listen to this one again because I didn’t really stay very engaged for most of the beginning. I guess the last half had a nice melody though. It was just unexpected. So 2.5 stars I guess.
10. More post bop to close out the week I guess. I find the melody pretty enjoyable and I like the “dark” sound to it. I’m liking this saxophonist. He maybe one of my favorites of the week. I like that he sounds bluesy and kind of out at the same time. The trumpet player didn’t stand out as much but I enjoyed the pianist a lot. 3.5 stars.

The best album I've heard in a long time. The intro is fantastic as well.

This is an unknown probably-/mu/tant that posted their music on /r/deathgrips once, but other than that I have never heard anyone talk about them. Seems too good for an unknown project, maybe a more well known producer under an alias? Idk......

from some of their songs like these it makes me think andy morin but other tracks seem too far removed from andy's sensibility (techno and other cool shit) Maybe OPN?

How does a genre built on simple meleody's with honest lyrics, turn so over processed and empty ?
Nashville ground it down to its most marketable and undemanding form and the average Country doesn't care enough to question it.

Even with lesser more traditional artists around, the feeling can't be brought back or replicated.
