One of the worst charts this board has ever made. The metal section especially.
Not to mention the genres being all fucked up.

anything that doesn't sound like generic radio rock is experimental to a normie

Any opinions on them? I mean, I think it's undeniable that the surrounding qualities of an album (visuals, band interviews, beefs, hype, reputation, that sort of thing) affect the way we as an audience think about the music we experience. But how and why? And when are these peripheral qualities a positive influence on the audience when listening to music, and when is it negative?
Certain examples of what I'm talking about:
Album covers, such as
>Nirvana's Nevermind baby cover
>Bowie's New Day cover that's plastered over Heroes
Other external packaging, such as:
>Colored/gimmicky vinyl a la Jack White
>Large, elaborate packaging, like Mount Eerie Pt. 6 & 7 and Death Blues's Ensemble that comes with a book
(Possibly) Song/Album Titles:
>Instrumental music that has names (like a lot of jazz)
>Album titles that hint to a larger theme that you might not get just out of the music (eg. "Dark Side of The Moon", "Music For Airports")
Music Videos, such as:
>Aphex Twin's Windowlicker, with the faces
>Death Grips's lo-fi #noided videos
Members' dress/looks:
>CHVRCHES (Lauren, basically)
>Sunn O)))'s cult hoodie thing
Manifestos/Documents:
>HHH's Transcendental Black Metal Manifesto, for the Ark Work
>The Death Blues manifesto and art surrounding the music
Beefs/Personalities:
>fucking Deadmau5
>Lauren calling out /mu/
>Drake and Meek Mill (or whatever it was)
Reputations/Hype:
>Revamped look of Justin Bieber
>P4k's dickriding of Thugger
>"/mu/-core"
>"It's the Beatles so it must be good" mentality
Listening to music like how people normally do is quite a different experience, than, say, downloading a bunch of unlableled .wav files with no artwork, and listening with no knowledge of what other people think of those artists, or how those artists present themselves, don't you think?
So what do you guys think about these peripheral/external qualities of the music?
>>60469630
Album art can set a mood, let the listener know what they're in for, etc. Ultimately the album art is inconsequential to how the music actually sounds and whether you like it or not, but that FIRST listen, when hear the first track. The album cover is in your head, all your expectations are running rampant. The praise you've heard, the negativity you've heard about the album, all that shit can affect your listening experience just as in anything else.
If you hear that one album or other is just some of the shittiest shit that was ever shat, your reaction can be one of two things: "Oh c'mon it can't be that bad" or your expectations are just really low. As a result of low expectations, you may be utterly surprised and may take to the album more KNOWING that somebody else vehemently dislikes it when it's really not that bad.
This isn't some sort of revelation shit affects shit we know this. I feel like the ideal way to listen to something is with just the bare minimum in mind: What the album's genre is, the cover art, that's it really. Everything else is is boo boo until you formed a proper opinion of it.

>I feel like the ideal way to listen to something is with just the bare minimum in mind: What the album's genre is, the cover art, that's it really.
Really? I prefer to read some positive reviews of the album while listening to it for the first time, maybe some interviews so I can get a better context to understand the album and give it at least some kind of chance.
Like
>pic related
knowing the artists' overall intention and larger conceptual picture through interviews and reviews helped understand what they were doing on the album.
>>60469887
Nah I can't do that. I'll read reviews after I feel like I get it, or if I want to masturbate over how good the album is. When I really like the album I'll start looking into the backstory.
I remember when I had first listened to Faust's first album, I knew I liked it but I didn't know what I had listened to. Such a bizzarely wonderful piece of music, so I made a thread on /mu/ asking what the hell I just listened to. We were hashing it out, and somebody actually brought up the backstory to the album being that it was just kind of thrown together after a year of spending the label's money on drugs, which made another anon actually appreciate the album less KNOWING that the composition wasn't as deliberate as he thought.
All that to say I feel like expectations can never truly make or break an album. If you dislike an album the first time, you'll probably like it if you come back to it in a few weeks with different expectations. If you like the album's music, the backstory may enhance your experience next listen.

Recently got into The Microphones via you guys, and I have to say it's amazing. The Glow pt. 2 and Mount Eerie are probably both in my top 5 record of all time at this point.
But Phil's released so much over the years, for example, where to even start with Mount Eerie? Been listening a bit to Lost Wisdom, and It's pretty good, but it doesn't feel like a starting point.
Phil thread?
The title track of The Glow Pt. 2 kills me everytime. The segue from the first track to it is fucking crushing
>>60469039
Literally same.
I just started listening to them today from their first album to their last. I give their discography a 9/10, The Glow Pt. 2 being my favorite album.
Right now I'm on Phil's solo project Mount Eerie and on his album Dawn.
Which is stealing 2nd favorite of all his works.
IV. Mt. Eerie on the Mount Eerie album is probably my favourite piece of music ever. The narrative of the whole album is really damn whimsical and bittersweet. That final freak-folky section after Phil's confrontation with death atop the mountain as the pack of vultures that have been following him finally eat him.
>The way they tear
>(the flesh we tear, so innocent of memory)
>They feast
>We invite each bite into our flight
>Since we give our blood now into you
>And feathers from skin begin
>The way they share
>The memory you did wear
>And now your song
>...
>Is inside them
Might be gushing over something very particular, but that was a life changing moment in music for me.
Why doesn't anybody on /mu/ like jazz?
>>60468900
I do I love Charles Mingus.
I do but I feel uneducated in the genre so I'm relistening to a bunch of records
Because it's a deprecated genre of shit tones and wank
I MAKE CERTAIN
THAT MY HEAD IS CONNECTED TO MY BODY
LET THE PRODUCTS SELL THEMSELVES
LET'S SAY I GOT A NUMBER

do this many people really favor r plus seven?
>>60468833
It would have been my second choice, but Returnal just barely edges it out for me. It's a damn good album m8
>>60469304
I love it myself, I just wasnt expecting it to get as many votes as it did. Personally:
Replica > Returnal = Garden of Delete > The Fall into Time > R Plus Seven = everything else on Rifts > Reliquary House
i'll leak kanye new album
