To some extent, no other album I can think of gets the feeling across that 666 does. The closest I can think is the Texas Jerusalem Crossroads, but that's an entirely different album.

People who claims that there are other albums that sounds like this are all wrong.
>>
>>66258193
I really don't get why people say this; it sounds nothing like CHz and only very slightly PBvsGR-esque in a select few parts with heavy Panda Bear influence.
>>66258209
in a few places yes, but I think it's actually pretty consistent overall.
>>
>>66258384
some of the cuts like Golden Gal are painfully mediocre though

>>66258396
while I'm not one of the many who praises the fuck out of Golden Gal, I certainly don't think it's mediocre. if anything on the album is mediocre it'd be certain sections of songs. parts of Bagels in Kiev come to mind (which is very disappointing to me since I really like the main melody of it,) and Hocus Pocus and Summing The Wretch both could be said to fit in that I don't feel they developed enough (though I still like both.)
honestly though, I'm surprised at how many things that I originally thought were mediocre grew on me and now sound pretty great.
>>
>>66258454
None of those bands used home-made instruments as heavily as SGM.
And only the first Idiot Flesh album sounds like the first Mr. Bungle album.
Everything else is just itself.

Almost all concept albums of the residents sound unique:
>Eskimo
>Commercial Album
>The third reich'n roll
>>
>>66258156

You literally picked the wrong Anco album
>>
>>66258477
The album has some seriously weak spots but the highs are pretty high. Floridada as well as Vertical and The Burglars is insanely fun, especially the last part with Panda's soaring background vocals.
>>
>>66258454
Also, SOAD is a mediocre Idiot Flesh/Mr. Bungle clone if anything.
>>
>>66258550
>implying what OP said couldn't be said for multiple anco albums
STGSTV definitely isn't their most unique though imo, PW still beats it in that regard (along with much of their early discography.)
>>66258559
Floridada and especially Vertical were pretty good, but if I had to pick a top three it'd be The Burglars > On Delay >= Lying In The Grass desu
The Burglars is the album's Brothersport
>>
>>66258642
on delay is great as well but yeah the burglars is the goat
>>
>>66258642

PW is closer to CHz than STGSTV is to either Danse or HCTI

PW doesn't sound like CHz, STGSTV and Danse definitely sound similar though.
>>
>>66258721
I WAS CONCEIVED
>>
>>66258690
I agree, but the only reason I do is because I think Danse is insanely unique and HCtI is fairly unique as well while also being fairly different genre-wise. PW is still very separate from the sound of CHz, and I would say far more unique as well.
>>66258730
But Danse is easily their most unique anon

Huh, I can actually see Spilling Guts fitting like that now that you've pointed it out, but I still wouldn't say the vast majority of the album is similar in any way.
Also you're reminding me that I need to check out Pavement, but from what I remember of what I've heard your description is pretty far off the mark.

>using the pleb meme as a serious argument
maybe it's because it's a mess that doesn't amount to anything more than the sum of its parts. Anco weren't going in the direction of full-on noise or anything, they clearly wanted to create an album that would evoke the playfulness and magic of childhood, but instead they just sound like children themselves. STG and HCTI take the general idea of Danse and actually does something good with it
>>
>>66259530
I can kinda see what you're saying, but I think it's only somewhat similar at its closest. It's like a less synthetic, more african-influenced take on what PW did.
Really enjoying what I'm hearing though, so thanks for mentioning it.

Fair enough, but I'd still say that what they did is still pretty original
Either way though that album, while it is great, is not as great as their material from the 80s. Not to say they are a "perfect" band or whatever but they have some of my all time favorite music without a doubt, all of which comes from that period.

Pavement was a massive influence on Avey, and he was in a Pavement ripoff band with Geologist and Deak in high school (which is when he wrote Penny Dreadfuls, the most transparently Pavement influenced song).

No other album has this kind of interplay between layered classical guitars, weird fuzzy distortion that i still wonder how it was achieved everytime i listen to it.

Of course Mount Eerie and other Microphones albums share some similarities but Mount Eerie and The Glow pt.2 are both unique.

it's called The Microphones - Mount Eerie, you can buy it from their bandcamp.
>>
>>66267156
it's very derivative, but still good compared to the rest of vaporwave that came afterward

most relevant vaporwave releases imo:
1. Chuck Person – Eccojams Vol. 1 (more or less invented the thing)
2. 骨架的 – Holograms (often neglected proto-vaporwave)
3. New Dreams Ltd. – Initiation Tape Part One (first real vaporwave album)
4. James Ferraro – Far Side Virtual (absolutely unique style)
5. Nmesh – Dream Sequins (latter-vaporwave masterpiece)

Okay OP, i'm gonna hook you up. You may know of this stuff already, but i guarnatee its authenticity.

>Yma Sumac
the last descendent of the incan princesses, boasting the widest vocal range in recorded music's history, combining psych rock and showtunes and avante garde in the 1950s, also rumored to actually be a housewife from the midwest with a made up backstory

>The Monks
raw as fuck band from the mid 60s, really distinct combination of performance art, spoken word, noise, garage and punk rock

>modern lovers
Before punk was really defined as such, it was already passe enough for J Richmond to rebel against with the self titled record by Modern Lovers, full of songs about how he doesn't do drugs and likes his parents and stuff like that, while selectively co-opting elements of punk rock's aural toolkit.

>les claypool
like him or not, the sludgehammer virtuoso base combined with circuisy melodies and a flair for utterly anachronistic musical styles like klezmer etc is undeniably unique. nobody sounds like les

>monster magnet
parody artist a la Weird Al, except they chose a subgenre to ridicule that was so specific that you have to acknowledge that they just made it up themsleves. they descended into genericness in their latter days, but check out tab..............25 and spine of god for the real deal.
