What is the best Pink Floyd album, /mu/? Why is pic related and The Wall largely considered the best? Are they right?
DSOTM, WYWH and Animals are largely considered the best.
The Wall is considered the best by people who either heard it as their first PF album, people who are under the age of 16 or Roger Waters himself.
pic related, the live half of Ummagumma, and Piper are their most interesting
DSotM and WYWH have insane production values and are both pretty good albums even if they are overrated, but the early albums are far more experimental and interesting.
The Wall flat out sucks.

I wouldn't call Red Hot Chili Peppers an artistic band, even after John Frusciante's rejoining and subsequent more melodic songwriting approach. I mean they started by playing songs about sex while jumping around half-naked on stage and Anthony Kiedis' lyrics have only occasionally tackled anything other than women or sheer nonsense. They've always been more about having fun band rather than trying to craft the next musical masterpiece that'll be held on a pedestal. More about stage-bouncing rather than artistic endulgence.
One Hot Minute though... that's a whole different story. One Hot Minute is about the furthest thing from having fun. One Hot Minute is crafted by the combined bad feeling of divorces, losing friends (both non-fatally and fatally), drug addictions, bad member chemistry (Dave Navarro really was an utterly absurd choice of guitarist for this band) and all the other bad energy flying around the studio during its creation. It's not a happy album, not at all. It's the sound of a band wanting to crawl under a hole and die but not before having a major nervous breakdown. It's the sound of one's brains on fire under stress.
It's also the single moment (outside By the Way, where they still managed to combine the fun to it) where the band stopped being fun and, in lack of a better word, started paying more attention to the art, moving from extrovert to introvert (not that I'm emplying that true art is only angsty). One Hot Minute is an hour-long trip of sheer emotional purge of the most screwed up variety.

The whole thing's clear from the first track, "Warped". Durings its five minutes it goes through a brooding intro, crunchy and heavy verse, a bizarrely uplifting chorus and a calm, mournful outro. Chad Smith bangs the drums harder than ever - hell, the entire album is his greatest achievement - and Kiedis warps his own voice with overemphasised pronounciation while spewing out cryptic lyrics. The song sounds erratic in its time signature, the guitars are crunching and menacing. The funky monks they are not.
One Hot Minute is, suitingly bizarrely to the entire album, both the Peppers' most personal album - even Flea gets lyrical contributions and frequent vocal cameos - as well as their most distinctly out-of-character one. It's the album you wouldn't expect those happy, anthemic stadium rockers had made until you finally listened to it. It's a heartbreaking album. "My Friends" is the saddest song this band has ever done and it oozes genuine depression. The relentless sonic assault of "Deep Kick" or "One Big Mob" (the latter which actually breaks into a several-minute long moody, artsy bridge between its crashing stormy parts) are the sound of unventing frustration and hiding behind sonic walls. "Transcending" sounds utterly fucked up throughout its length whether it's the bizarre groove of its first half or the noise-filled apocalypse ragefit ending. It really doesn't sound like Peppers at all but bloody hell do they work it. There's a few more conventional Peppers moments like the trippy "Walkabout" and "Falling into Grace" as well as the funked up "Aeroplane" (that counters its happy-go-lucky feel and child choir with lyrics about wallowing in depression), all brilliant moments, and even they sound like they've gone through some weird alternate universe warped filter.

Maybe it's cruel of me, considering the circumstances, but the whole thing sounds so brilliant. Yes it's a bunch of people losing their collective minds and feeling really horrible and unventing it with noise walls, weird song structures, off-beat tone and miserable lyrics but blimey. They really do sound like they're on fire and what they're spewing out is sheer brilliance. The only exception is the Flea solo-moment "Pea" which is fairly pedestrian, but even that's more like a short interlude. Perhaps more annoyingly, the otherwise great "One Big Mob" shows that no song ever needs to sample a baby's crying, no matter the intentions
I can completely understand why the band wants to ignore why it ever happened and why there's a general tendency to sort of brush this one with a sidenote. It's not a very feel-good album, it's not a very Peppersian album. It's a complete one-off and it's utterly screwed up but that's what makes it so compelling. Its sinister misery is brilliant.
-dude off RYM
>>64220651
I kinda agree. But one of their biggest songs was Under The Bridge, which is definitely not a cock sock song.
I am old. I remember when Californication came out as being the "well shit, the Chili Peppers suck now" moment.
I really liked One Hot Minute. RHCP is still a band I can respect, but I consider them past their prime for sure
Any excellent indie pop? Have heard all of Sufjan, Belle and Sebastian, Grandaddy, Magnetic Fields and more
Pic related: one of my all time fave albums, and one of the best indie pop releases to date imo

If you don't listen to cheesy twee pop from the 90s you should literally off yourself
Boyracer, St. Christopher, Field Mice and most of Sarah are the way to go
Tindersticks
Mercury Rev
Kang Mina is kinda beautiful, she's no Sohye though

I thought I Want You (She's So Heavy) was about obsession
but John Lennon said it was about how "heavy" or great Yoko Ono was
Then why the ominous dark tone for the music? Is he saying his infatuation is a good thing or a bad thing? I thought he loved Yoko Ono
Good song, though, isn't it?

what the fuck does that even mean you virgin? next time try posting without the pseudo science bullshit
You probably haven't listened to this enough, anon. Don't halt the holts.

>>64220160
I just found out he was dangerous.
>>64220160
Big Data is a meme, it just means parallel processing. Something we have been doing for a while now. Just like Data Scientists also had a previous name. They were called mathematicians.
>tfw you fell for the Flo Rida meme
