Rather repugnant is Blackstar (2015), an effort put together as a melodramatic swan song ala Innuendo. These moments of superficial death themes are actually entertaining and hilarious jibs, as if the corpse rock star wanted to provide his own post-modernist critical commentary on the pop (emphasis on pop) art he belongs to. Alas, most of the songs are unlistenable, beyond disposable. Very few people would have listened to this album if it had been done by a lesser known singer-songwriter; let alone reviewed it.

I was actually thinking about how mediocre this track was when I heard it in game. The amen break is so played out that it isn't even funny.
That guy is actually very talented musically. Not for that track, though. For this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=spz7WW5dlg8

Point out an aphex or squarepusher track with a whole tone scale and we'll talk.
Why have the large majority of goth bands imitated his vocal style?
You mean Jim Morrison's voice?
Have they?

I don't remember Peter Murphy ever singing like Ian.

Where should I start? What am I not "getting"?
Lunacy x 20min.
Pure genius
Listen to Filth, then listen to To Be Kind. Make sure the volume is high and the sound is clear.
What don't you like about them? It's OK not to like them, just don't be one of those "it's just noise" guys.
>>61871120
Thanks.

All music is noise realistically. I just couldn't seem to get into them. I have high quality headphones. Maybe I just need to give them more of a chance?
Hello Class! How are all of you?
Today's assignment is for you to write your thoughts on Dream Theater and their work in the form of a fifty words or more post. Do you like them or do you dislike them? Why? Do you have a favorite album, or are they too loathsome to choose? Have fun!

Shit band

>>61870656
With the shit coldplay has made the last few years, im not surprised
>>61870656
Yet one is still selling albums while the other's music is dead.
>>61870731
That "spider-web" song is legit beautiful, though
I find the idea of Coldplay exploiting their connection with Eno to hook Bowie pretty amusing
what does /mu/ think of converge?
One of my favorite hardcore/metalcore bands
I seriously think their latest album was their best one yet. On a very short list of bands that have been around for 25+ years and don't suck yet.

Really dumb band with angsty lyrics and vocals that sound like shit
>inb4 they're supposed to sound like that
Why is this album perfect?
>extended
>>61870421
I've never listened to the extended edition but I love the standard version. Deffenently AOTY of 2014
>>61870492
I just found out there was an extended version about a week ago
Adds 5 tracks to the album, all of which are just as great as the first 10
>>61870373

Literally dadcore.
>the incredible string band
