ITT: Bash on your favourite album.
>Literal memecore.
>Mediocre song writing.
>Somewhat ruined Shoegaze due to the copycats etc.
>Can't rec to friends because the album cover and name are cringe.
>Sometimes is shit in comparison to all the other songs.

>Can't rec to friends because the album cover and name are cringe.
The album color is beautiful and perfectly represents the album. And you're too embarrassed to rec them because the name might be misinterpreted? You're a coward.
>Sometimes is shit in comparison to all the other songs.
How does it feel to not even be able to appreciate or understand your favorite album?
>>60683725
>K-pop reaction pic
Firstly, kill yourself.
>The album color is beautiful and perfectly represents the album.
Thanks for stating the obvious, doesn't change the fact that whenever i recommend it to someone they call me a faggot for liking an album with a pink cover and a name that sounds like a corny emo band.
>How does it feel to not even be able to appreciate or understand your favorite album?
I do understand it, it revolves around noise and pedal effects blah blah. Additionally, i like the song, doesn't change the fact that is the weak point in comparison to the other songs.
>>60683699
>>Somewhat ruined Shoegaze due to the copycats etc.
>>Can't rec to friends because the album cover and name are cringe.
ok ok
>>Sometimes is shit in comparison to all the other songs.
what?
>>60683725
you're a fuckin idiot
>>60683699
sometimes is one of the best songs on the album man, you coulda picked come in alone
>call me a faggot for liking an album with a pink cover
who the fuck are you hanging out with that does this. are you 17 or something?
>all of the tracks are unfinished sketches
>doesnt build on any of the ideas presented
>unnecessary interludes and skits
still 10/10 and still my favourite album ever
>I'll Come Running is a little bit too quirky/poppy
Still love it though. Still a 10/10 album.
It takes at least 4 listens to get into it
i listen to it too much and the magic is slowly dying
its mixed really quietly, so i have to put the volume up high and i get scared im going deaf
bomp
>Videotape was a terrible choice for a closing song. Hauntingly beautiful, but still should have been a B-side and replaced with Go Slowly or Last Flowers.
>Le Creep band
>>60683769
who the hell calls someone a faggot for liking an album with a pink cover? are your friends all 8 year olds?
>the beginning of part 4 kinda ruins the atmosphere
>oh comely is boring af and ruins the album
>>60687033
i've never really paid attention to when the individual songs on the album begin and end and what parts belong to them and so on
are you talking about the king black death part when kyle is singing?
I cant think of a single flaw, help
>>60683769
>Firstly, kill yourself.
how the fuck is he supposed to read then (this kill yourself meme desu)
>>60685428
>i listen to it too much and the magic is slowly dying
Yeah, i feel you bro
>>60687881
oh comely is not boring, and does not ruin the album are you out of your mind?
>>60688241
>oh comely is not boring, and does not ruin the album are you out of your mind?
whoah look guise opinion patrol is trying to get me
>alot of people will be turned off by the singing
this is mostly what makes it difficult to rec this album.
>>60688144
It's not Red
>>60688342
I feel your pain
>>60683699
The only possibly true one is the third.
Sometimes isn't shit, you're just trying to dislike the most accessible song on the album, due to personal issues.
>>60683699
>Premeir saddcore
>Can't really recapture the feeling of first hearing this album without being supremely baked and sad
>Some songs like "Shakespear's Sister" don't age well
>Sound like a pussy or a highschool drama nerd when I sing any of the songs out loud
>I'm a black guy so this is even more puzzling to friends, family and strangers alike
>Can't recommend to friends without having to try to explain who The Smiths are
>If they know who the band is I can't talk about it without the word "hipster" being uttered
>Often this is by myself
>>60688463
that one is just shit, though
>>60688144
The whole dynamic level thing was used in a kinda gimmicky way
The inclusion of white noise in the first track feels a bit cheap to me, and the last track has a little too much going on, but aside from that this is the drone I love
>>60687976
idk whos singing but it's the "do you see what happens?" part
>>60688766
yeah that's the one i was talking about
sometimes i hate it sometimes i love it, depends on my mood and what i want out of the album.
you should watch the "wise old little boy" documentary, it really made me appreciate that part of the album a lot more. and it is a fantastic insight into phil and kyle's universe at the time around the release of mount eerie

I would add that if you live outside the UK/Ireland, you can not fully relate to The Smiths on a base level.
>Literally a parody that some people took seriously
>>60685428
Take a tolerance break and listen to some new music. That's all you have to do, it'll go back to being fresh.
>>60688846
I second this, even if you're too young top remember Thatcher you know her legacy, all of which drove the smiths. Anyone outside the British isles just cannot 'get' the smiths
>>60683699
>>Sometimes is shit in comparison to all the other songs.
how does it feel to be inferior plebeian?
>>60687881
Kill yourself faggot, Oh Comely is the best song you memester
>>60686996
My thoughts exactly. This kid has to be underage b&.
if he's so good then why is he dead
I wish /mu/ didnt like my favorite albums
>loops guitar until it's avant-garde
Vera and Bring the Boys Back Home have no purpose on here.
>The rendition of Amazing Grace is strange and doesn't add much to the album
>The drone after the crescendo in Static goes on for too long and isn't very engaging, I'm always tempted to skip it
>The Murray Ostril sample in Sleep is heavy-handed and doesn't really make me feel any way like the other ones do
>The sound collage in Antennas is pretentious and could be cut down
>The last post-rock section is almost identical to the one from The Dead Flag Blues, I don't know why I haven't seen other people notice this
>le wise mountain man
>muh feels
>my warm blood is unlistenable unless youre in the right mindset
>the glow pt 2 isnt longer
>>60688144
The Talking Drum honestly isn't good.
The rest of the tracks are great, though.
>>60689663
Filler: The Album
Could be cut down to an incredible 30-minute EP
>>60685049
> doesnt build on ideas
> unnecessary anything
> 10/10
How is it 10/10 if you can find flaws?
>>60688937
> tolerance break
Kek well put anon
>>60687881
> he thinks oh comely is boring
Baby cant handle a song that's longer than 5 minutes?
>>60688514
Your friends sound like they suck and have narrow minds
> it is weird for a black guy to listen to the smiths
What a retarded sentiment. Music has nothing to do with race and you shouldnt give a fuck what people think about you listening to the music you like. What, people just expect you to be listening to nothing but hip hop?
>I know this is meme but sometimes Dylan's singing can get really obnoxious
>Temporary Like Achilles is pretty boring
>>60689709
viper yourself my man, this album is goat
though to be honest if it was a 4 track with the first 3 tracks and samurai sword it would work
They fit perfectly in to the narrative. Also Vera is beautiful sonically
>>60683699
>Sometimes is shit in comparison to all the other songs.
Degenerate.
>muh real Jersey
>if you aren't feeling the feelings you wont relate to it at all
I always felt like they repeated their lyrics a lot here. It's not bad and they pull it off really well, but a bit more diversity would have made this album god-tier.
>>60690009
>favourite album
>not god tier
>tfw no friends to give recs to
