Let me get that clear - pic related established:
- muh independent music production and experimentation
- muh explicit themes and pessimism in music
Sonicly speaking it's just a bunch of catchy songs that don't showcase any special musical talent and a bunch of experimentation here and there.
Correct me and tell me what's that album all about, i enjoy listening to it, but it's not something that i'd call great
It invented punk rock (sonically) and was a foreshadower to post-rock and noise rock.

so, experimentation = bad now?? ive always thought their experimentation is what made them good and talented
I can't believe I wrote all those essays on indie music back in sophomore year. Fuck. I was hella lame. I think I even had some shit about odd future in there because they were blowing up via just free album (before Yonkers). Fuck guys. I really hope I don't look back and regret shit I did in 2015...

no wtf are you talking about

Do you think that because it virtually created a genre that was popular in the last quarter of XX century it makes the album "one if not the best album of rock n roll"? is it in any way about the music or just the events that that music spurred on?
>>60649909
You will. I regret saying things I said only a week or two ago

My Generation by The Who had more in common sonically with punk than TVU&N did. If anything, TVU&N (and White Light/White Heat) has more in common with post-punk.
What is the actual "experimentation" part on that album? The jam at the end of "European son"?
>>60649985
The jamming on run run run.
99% of criticism about this album doesn't hold up

The Fugs talked about smoking pot and dropping acid in their songs 3 years before this album came out, and LSD was still legal in 1964.

>>60649953
I still think The Fugs invented punk rock in the U.S.
>>60650548
Literally every song from the 60s is about weed
VU&N talks about heroin, sexual domination, among other themes
>>60650548
you're right about the Fugs, i don't know why people keep on saying that the Velvet were the pioneers of that kind of lyrics
