The problem with Foster the People is that while they have great pop songs, they get so old so quickly.

So good. Seen it posted on /mu/ sometimes, but not discussed too much. Just got the vinyl.
>>65767603
Alright, so let me say that when I was in tenth grade, I listened to this fucking album constantly. I probably listened to it 500 times, start to finish.
It's decent, but it's basic indiepop. Nothing special about it. Lyrics are unremarkable, if not mediocre. The production is quirky, upbeat, but it's nothing groundbreaking. I don't think an album has to be revolutionary for it to be good, but needless to say, it shouldn't be stale.
It's a fun album, don't get me wrong, but it gets exactly the amount of recognition it deserves. It's like a 5.5/10.
>>65767923
Supermodel is much worse. They tried to experiment but forgot that their project is inherently trite and has a target demographic of teenagers.
>>65768099
Is that really the /mu/ opinion of it? I've only seen people liking it here.
>>65768099
yeah maybe at the time, but for the past five years I've only seen this:
>>65768212
literally pic related
>>65768247
Sucks that this album flopped. I live in Toronto, and no one's ever recognized my Joyland t-shirt.
>>65768315
What album is that?
>>65767648
I found that, ironically, they were so briefly overrated for Pumped Up Kicks that in the long run, they became underrated for everything else
>>65768247
This was my 2014 AOTY. Seriously good.
>>65768427
Metallica - St Anger
>>65767603
I've never heard this album talked about anywhere. I don't particularly care for their other work, but this was amazing.
>>65767603
I honestly love this album. Too bad they're tumblr now
>>65768212
>>65768288
well if that´s the case that sucks, now i have nothing to complain about
>>65768529
1612 is the greatest song they will ever write
>>65768159
I found this band my first day on /mu/ along with some other really good bands. I swear it used to be way easier to discover really good shit on /mu/ back then. This was in 2013 btw.
>>65768529
Lol my girlfriend showed me this band a couple weeks ago. Really cool stuff.
>>65768661
Yeah I used to find a lot more stuff on /mu/ back in the day. Part of it was last.fm was better/more active and sharethreads were really good.
Not sure if it's just nostalgia, but I feel the same way haha.
>>65768636
that song puts me in such a good fucking mood
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jRHQPG1xd9o
fucking GKMC overshadowed this, but its superior in every way
>>65767603
One hit wonder desu
their most underrated album and a fucking masterpiece desu
This album was at the peak of the 2000's emo/indie-rock scene

AOTY 2015
>>65768247
What album?
I'm pretty sure that if this wasn't a Linkin Park album it would be held in an absurdly high regard around here.
>>65768159
>>65768661
'12 and '13 were better.
Good album btw. Also learned about it from here.
>>65768529
First half is pretty fun.
>>65771691
I actually agree with this, you have to at least give Linkin Park credit for attempting experimentation on mainstream
>>65767649
>>65768529
>>65768829
>>65771691
These tbqh
>>65768460
I still catch myself listening to Houdini from time to time. Legit great song.
>>65768460
This is true, I remember listening to the rest of the album and playing Halo Reach and I was always thinking why weren't Helena Beat or Houdini or Don't Stop on the radio (I've heard a few stations recently playing a few of their other songs but, not at that time) especially since one of those three, I think, I don't remember which it's been forever since I've listened to them, was a great summer song.
>>65767603
<><>.."WIAH WOAH GUIZ DID YOUKNOW THIS ALBUMS IN ABOUT SCHOOL SHOTER????:::"""
>>65772473
Don't Stop was on some bullshit shoe store commercial or some shit back in 2011/2012, that was played relentlessly. I don't even watch TV except for sports, and I heard it daily somehow. I used to like that song, too.
Anyway, FTP was always pretty derivative and unoriginal indietronica a la MGMT, Empire of the Sun, Presets, etc etc. They were kinda fun, but their schtick was old before they even got started.

I love this so much.
Posting this to make sure some faggot doesn't unironically place this, it's pretty bad
>>65771691
its like
radiohead meets death grips
Geotic - Hearth & Sunset Mountain (Eon Isle)
People seem to struggle with the word "underrated"
>>65771691
This album would be better if Blackout and The Messenger were taken out.
>>65773106
In fact, just kick Chester out of the band.
>>65771758
literally everyone loves doopee time
>>65772938
ok true
>>65768767
last.fm went to shit with the new version and they haven't patched shit since it released
>>65773190
If this were true, I would be so happy to be wrong. It's genius.
I have my doubts, though.
>>65771691
lol I'm three tracks in right now
pretty garbage typical Linkin Park shit plus the two intro tracks(literally why) [lel oppenheimer's speech so deep amirite???!?!?]
The first half of this album is God Tier.
this band's whole career, basically.
>>65773371
Why wouldn't they sample Oppenheimer's speech in a concept album about nuclear warfare?
Also, the first couple of tracks don't sound like anything from their previous albums, it's a completely different genre and people who liked their nu metal shit complained about it.
>>65771691
>>65773371
sixth track now
still shit. god damn you people
>>65773376
Don't Laugh and Nicole are 10/10, I'll give you.
But the other gems on the album are LMLYP, Birthday Boy, and (on the "25th Anny") Hippy Smell, which are all in the 2nd half. Overall, GWS isn't nearly as good as the albums that follow, and I don't think the first half is significantly better than the second. It's probably still overrated around here though.
>>65772675
I actually yawned as I read this, kek.
>>65773467
>implying this isn't GOAT
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WNKv_nrTIeI
>>65767626
Definitely. Also the Unnatural World.
>>65773462
ok true
it's not a nu metal album and yeah I can see why their fans would be upset. I guess it's underrated by their fanbase but it's definitely not underrate on here
>>65771523
Trust - Joywave
>>65773499
best track so far desu
>>65773499
>Linkin Park will never make another arabic-influenced glitch hop song
>>65769024
What the fuck, SSOASS is their most overrated album. Most underrated is probably Virtual XI, everyone pisses on it but really they're just pissing on the angel and the gambler, the rest of the tracks are actually really good
>>65771001
ahh, I was listening to this today. It's so effin good >whoa whoa Lauren Marie
>Lauren Marie
>>65773376
Never Squeal, Up on the Hill, Cold and Wet and Tick I think are the best. They made the album for me. Everything after Nicole doesn't sound like the first half. It sounds like a whole different album.
>>65772938
it's like a 6/10
not really that bad
>>65773656

>>65773445
wtf i always thought that cover was a man touching a woman's leg
>>65767603
Definitely underrated.
>>65768178
I know how you feel. It was the first and only album on my phone for a while. I had at least 1000+ plays of the whole album. But, I still love Torches. It's really well written Indie Pop. You're right about Supermodel though. With greater experimentation came weaker songwriting. Oh well. I will say that "Pseudologia Fantastica" is pretty neat though especially with the shoegaze outro. :^)
