pulk/pull 🤨

[velvet pewter]

Idk is it the other way around?

I've never listened to Radiohead

[abstract crag]

why is that 'one of the only 3 good ones'

it's like one of their worst songs

[velvet pewter]

You're just a nerd

You can't enjoy the peak of Radiohead

[abstract crag]

fitter happier

unironically

[velvet pewter]

Pulk/pull is good

You've been conditioned to believe how songs should sound

Smh

This world doesn't understand me

I gotta listen to Radiohead now

[humble trench]

no i understand i like pulk/pull too

i like the weirdness

[velvet pewter]

Fr you're based

Do you like Ween?

[velvet pewter]

(also if I'm being real I do like ok computer)

(just don't tell kyrum)

🤫

[humble trench]

never really listened

[velvet pewter]

They're good

[humble trench]

i tried listening to the mollusk but the sound just really ticked me off for some reason

[velvet pewter]

Ughhh

[humble trench]

it made me feel sick somehow

ive had it on my radar for a relisten, maybe i just wasnt feeling good that day

[velvet pewter]

Too many people try to start with The Mollusk and it's one of their best but not my choice for people to start with

Because if they don't like The Mollusk they'll assume that's just what Ween sounds like and move on

The Mollusk is really quite unique from like any other Ween for the most part

Chocolate & Cheese or God Ween Satan are better introductions

GWS if you like messy recordings, C&C if you like clean ones

It's shows you more of what the band actually is

[abstract crag]

dawg if you knew anything about me I consider it the most overrated album ever

I am NOT a fan

[velvet pewter]

I think hearing their work before The Mollusk gave me more respect for the album

[velvet pewter]

I like it

[abstract crag]

OH

thought you said don't

my apologies

[velvet pewter]

It's just

Idk why I like

It's the most kinda done with everything sounding depressive album I've heard

[abstract crag]

I mean it's solid but I am the biggest hater

[velvet pewter]

The music is really pretty

[abstract crag]

I'd probably love if if it wasn't considered like top 3 of all time

same problem I have with something like mario galaxy or botw

[velvet pewter]

Huh

Never played Breathe of the wild

[terse monolith]

fighting words

[fast wraith]

YYAYYYYYY

[fast wraith]

then you don't know if they're bad....

[velvet pewter]

(I'm jonkin)

[abstract crag]

jorkin it

[terse monolith]

in the stripped club. strait jorking "it". and by it i mean

well lets just say

my. peanits

[humble trench]

so... the reason you dont like it... is because other people like it too much?

[abstract crag]

when everybody's too positive, sometimes you just gotta be the hater

[humble trench]

dont u think that's a bit of a weird mindset

[velvet pewter]

I don't presume radiohead fans are that positive tbh

[abstract crag]

nope, I like balancing things out to a level I think is adequate, ok computer is good but it's quality is way too exaggerated

[humble trench]

well... explain!

[abstract crag]

I just did?

[humble trench]

why you think the album's quality is exaggerated?

[abstract crag]

oh

because everytime I listen to it I can't fully enjoy it because while I do like it the hype kinda sours the experience

[terse monolith]

you shouldnt care THAT much abt what other ppl think

[velvet pewter]

agred

you're not enough of a creep or weirdo to understand mideohead smh

[terse monolith]

i think ppl exaggerate how good the beatles are but that doesn't mean i cant enjoy them

[terse monolith]

TRUE

[velvet pewter]

they don't

john lemon on top

[abstract crag]

plus I'm fine doing it with something as popular for being good like ok computer is because I personally can't ruin perception for it so it's kinda nice to exaggerate my distaste

[abstract crag]

I mean if something is heralded as the best or one of the best of all time and I just thought it to be pretty good, that's gonna influence how I think about it

[velvet pewter]

aren't you the same guy who got made at nostalgia critic for the same thing...

[abstract crag]

all I do is make offhand jokes about a band I ultimately like, nostalgia critic made a 45 minute horrendous parody album that does nothing but complain and complain about something he dislikes in annoying voices with annoying autotune, it's not the same thing at all

[velvet pewter]

you should've done what he did and I'd respect you more

[abstract crag]

well if I did I would at least try to make a listenable album

[velvet pewter]

it is listenable

[abstract crag]

I cannot fathom how anyone could think that

[terse monolith]

i think its listenable

i even enjoyed a few tracks just from a musical perspective

[abstract crag]

my opinion on you has actually changed

[velvet pewter]

https://tenor.com/view/doug-walker-fnaf-turning-around-turning-doug-turning-around-gif-23411544

[humble trench]

that... sounds like a you problem man

[terse monolith]

thats insane

[abstract crag]

I mean yeah, it is a personal problem I don't like something, that's how opinions work

[humble trench]

what i mean is that ur problem with the album has nothing to do with the album

[abstract crag]

it does

[terse monolith]

it seems more based on how the album is received by others

[abstract crag]

I think it's just pretty decent that's fairly flawed and far from perfect, which is against the reputation of the album

[terse monolith]

i agree its annoying when you see ppl overhype things you just dont really get but i dont see why reception would make you actively enjoy something less

i used to let annoying classic rock fans ruin the beatles for me

[abstract crag]

I don't really enjoy it less, I just can't see myself praising it like others

[terse monolith]

but listening to music is much more enjoyable when you just pay no mind to anyone else

[abstract crag]

kinda can't really do that with one of the most popular and highly regarded albums ever

[terse monolith]

im doing it with literally the most popular band to ever exist

[abstract crag]

I mean you're putting in the effort to ignore those people and get rid of the previous opinions you had

[velvet pewter]

whadt

[abstract crag]

but it doesn't really matter that I'm showing my negative opinions on something more than I would other things because I don't like the amount of praise it gets, it's an album I like that I make jokes about and criticize, it's not a big deal

[velvet pewter]

Why is it bad

[abstract crag]

why is what bad

[velvet pewter]

ok computer

[terse monolith]

if we just jokin around its different but i thought you genuinely disliked it just because other people do like it

[abstract crag]

it's not!! I've been saying this the whole time!! I literally just said it too!!

[velvet pewter]

what songs drag it down for oyu?

have you heard the ever so underrated track let down?

[abstract crag]

none of them

they're good songs

but just good

not really that great or amazing

[velvet pewter]

paranoid android...

fuckin

airbag

[abstract crag]

is just okay

is just okay

[velvet pewter]

https://youtu.be/XM2CoWXOLRY

incredible sound

[abstract crag]

got to 50 🥶🥶

probably gonna spend more time relistening to certain albums tbh but idk how long that will last because listening to new music is so awesome

[terse monolith]

true altho ive been doing a lot of relistens lately

[abstract crag]

same

mainly to reassess but also if I've forgotton most of it or just feel like it

I've relistened to american football and in the aeroplane over the sea proabably like 4 times each in the past 3 weeks and I like them a little more each time

[terse monolith]

itaots is peak

[abstract crag]

it's solid

but far from my favorite

[terse monolith]

its 4th all time for me so not very far

[fast wraith]

popular = bad so correct

[abstract crag]

didn't say it was bad

[fast wraith]

if you let people's opinions influence your opinions on music idk if there should be that many opinions that should be coming in like that

[abstract crag]

I mean it only influences my opinion in that I put up a persona for fun to hate on it, I only do it in this server too, it's not realyl a big issue

[abstract crag]

anyways, got to 60

[fast wraith]

how was a lonely sinner?

[velvet pewter]

My top 50

Sheesh

[abstract crag]

great

also top 100 tbh

[velvet pewter]

damnn

[novel plank]

BJORK!!!!!

[velvet pewter]

Yes

[fast wraith]

ram at #2 is extremely based ngl

[abstract crag]

all of it is based ngl

[terse monolith]

too much radiohead

also i didnt know you liked idwtgu more than mgtc

[abstract crag]

you didn't??

I've been saying that since I listened to it

[terse monolith]

no i somehow missed that

[abstract crag]

ngl

[terse monolith]

im blind

[abstract crag]

reached 70

[velvet pewter]

I should listen to that doors album

[abstract crag]

yeah

[terse monolith]

top 25 alltime

[velvet pewter]

Ahhh

[novel plank]

Mad underrated picks ngl

Good shit.....

[lethal wren]

More albums I've heard for the first time in listening order. Any recommendations

[velvet pewter]

You heard any ween?

[lethal wren]

Yeah I've heard

Pure Guava
Chocolate and Cheese
The Mollusk
And Quebec

[velvet pewter]

You like em?

Those are my top 4 from ween

[lethal wren]

Yeah definitely

[velvet pewter]

Check out God Ween Satan next, it has so many ween classics

[lethal wren]

Ok thx!

[velvet pewter]

Birthday Boy is my favorite song of all time, it's on that album

[fast wraith]

hm what are some of your fav genres/artists/albums etc

[lethal wren]

I'm fine with anything really, besides like prog or county

[fast wraith]

ever listened to Black Country, New Road?

[lethal wren]

Heard of them, never listened

[fast wraith]

they're one of the best artists of this decade for sure, their album Ants From Up There is in my top 10 albums its beyond fantastic

i even got the vinyl :D

[lethal wren]

Cool! should I start with that one?

[fast wraith]

both of their albums are amazing, that's my favorite but their two albums are pretty different

if you like more punky and spoken word and crazy stuff go their first album, if you like more sung and lush and beautiful and high emotional go ants from up there

but both are must listens and in my top 20 favorites of all time

[lethal wren]

I'll probably go in chronological order then

[fast wraith]

ok then! :)

[lethal wren]

Thanks for the suggestion!

[fast wraith]

of course!! happy listening <3

[velvet pewter]

Country is good

[fast wraith]

meh

alt-country sure

there are some utterly fantastic alt-country albums

but bluegrass isn't really a style i indulge in

[velvet pewter]

I like Ween

's

country

and songs from the fallout new vegas soundtrack

along with some johnny cashh

[lethal wren]

I dunno, I liked Gunfighter Ballads and will also check out Cash, but I feel I've heard too much country when i was young. what are some other good country albums?

[velvet pewter]

12 Golden Country Greats by Ween

[lethal wren]

K, I'll add that after listening to GodWeenSatan

[fast wraith]

Magnolia Electric Co. by Songs: Ohia is my personal favorite

alt-country / country rock

[velvet pewter]

There's also a lot of country esc stuff on Beck's Stereopathetic Soulmanure, I think it's classified as alt country

or smth

It's labeled as anti-folk, which a lot of his stuff is but tbh there is a much stronger country sound

[lethal wren]

Ok I'll add those too, thx!

[velvet pewter]

That's the top ranked country album by rym

Urm basiccc

tee hee

[fast wraith]

funny!

[fast wraith]

it is for a reeeasonnnn

have you heard it

[velvet pewter]

Will check out

[fast wraith]

good :)

[velvet pewter]

I've gotta hear this too I like big iron

[fast wraith]

american water by silver jews is also pretty good but i don't return to it much

[velvet pewter]

yeah that sounds good

[lethal wren]

Yeah it's a good listen

[velvet pewter]

Ween's given me the appreciation for country, I like all their country songs

[fast wraith]

do you like them because you like the sound or because it's ween

[velvet pewter]

I like the sound genuinely

It's one of my favorite genres to hear them do

I find them quite catchy

[fast wraith]

that's good

[velvet pewter]

They got 12 professional Nashville country musicians to record near all the instruments on the album

besides like 2 solos played by gener and deaner

[abstract crag]

I think there was actually more than 12

the 12 was because there were 12 songs originally, 2 got cut for b sides, and the name stuck and that was used as like an explanation

[terse monolith]

i think the fact that it says theres 12 but theres only 10 just makes it even funnier

[abstract crag]

same

[abstract crag]

after a week of being away progress has commenced again

[quiet mirage]

also had no idea george clinton was a feature on this???

that's awesome

[terse monolith]

pretty peak

[fast wraith]

yay!!

[fast wraith]

#1 for a reason...

[abstract crag]

on the last few songs and definitely agree, not necessarily a 5 for me but it's really close and I could see it going higher on a future relisten

[fast wraith]

!!

[abstract crag]

okay wait hold on these last few songs bring it up to a 5 this is some fantastic stuff

I like the single version of i more but I also really love the album version

[abstract crag]

incredible album

[fast wraith]

correct!!

[abstract crag]

second favorite hip hop album behind madvillainy now

[abstract crag]

first day

[terse monolith]

thoughts on bleach and sex pistols

[abstract crag]

sex pistols was pretty mid and bleach I liked a little more than nevermind

[terse monolith]

sex pistols is meh yeah

[abstract crag]

god save the queen and anarchy in the uk are great but everything else is kinda lame

[fast wraith]

i think we listened to no new york on the same day

yeah we did

[abstract crag]

I listened to it first though

so you kinda copied me

[fast wraith]

ok buddy sure

what was your ranking of the bands on there

for me it was

contortions > dna > mars > teenage jesus & the jerks

[abstract crag]

dna > the contortions > mars > teenage jesus and the jerks

[fast wraith]

understandable

[abstract crag]

25!!

[abstract crag]

50!!

[terse monolith]

pink moon!!

[abstract crag]

mid!!

[terse monolith]

fuck you!!

[fast wraith]

WHAT

never make a take ever again

[abstract crag]

it was okay but like I don't get the hype at all

the first 2 albums were way better as well

[fast wraith]

listening to bryter layter today but i already know you're wrong ngl

[terse monolith]

fa infinity thoughts?? one of my favorite albums

[abstract crag]

really really good

closest of my 4.5's to being a 5 on rym tbh, probably gonna jump to it on an eventual relisten

[terse monolith]

i own the cd

i want lysflath too

[fast wraith]

opinion on slint

both

[abstract crag]

spiderland was good but I didn't like it as much as both, ep was great I liked it a lot

[fast wraith]

at least you liked :D

[abstract crag]

progress has been slow mainly because I've been watching a lot of doctor who tbh

[terse monolith]

how to leave town thoughts

[quiet mirage]

top 10 ep's

[terse monolith]

panpeako

[abstract crag]

pretty good

[terse monolith]

i honestly dont like it very much

prolly my least favorite csh

[abstract crag]

I thought it was weaker than both versions of twin fantasy but I still liked it

[abstract crag]

my top eps

[glacial ravine]

Is this your albums listened this month ranked

Wouldn't mind joining in

[fast wraith]

66 isn't bad at all, currently at 91 pretty sure

[abstract crag]

not ranked, just the order of when I listened to them

I do recommend doing it though as it's a good way to catalog and has ultimately led to me refining my music taste

[abstract crag]

all of the new stuff was yesterday + I forgot to put the flaming lips album on it when I first listened

[glacial ravine]

Yo Ride are an amazing band

[abstract crag]

yeah

[terse monolith]

did you like 2112

[abstract crag]

yeah

[fast wraith]

did you fw fishmans live

[abstract crag]

yeah of course

[abstract crag]

update tbh

also a jangle pop topster

[fast wraith]

thoughts on science fiction

[abstract crag]

peak

[fast wraith]

true...

oh

and saw 85-92

[abstract crag]

very good but was a little hard to really love

I'll probably like it more when I get around to listening to more ambient

[fast wraith]

fair enough

if you want some more dense ambient i 100% rec tim hecker

radio amor is my fav ambient album

[abstract crag]

he's canadian 🤢

[fast wraith]

i wish you had fm because i would 100% .from canada @abstract crag

!

i would make fun of you for tom macdonald but i also have him in my thing because i gave facts a 1 star

[abstract crag]

yeah tbh

[abstract crag]

not even .5???

[fast wraith]

.co nostalgia critic's the wall

[vagrant turtle]

Doug Walker - Nostalgia Critic's the Wall

[fast wraith]

plus at least facts was like miniscully funny if only for the fact that robot ben shapiro outrapped tom macdonald on his own song

[abstract crag]

ngl I was looking and I'm 100% shocked you don't have a single ambient album as a 5

besides 85-92 but that's under ambiet techno

[fast wraith]

i do have 1 but its not really true ambient

i looooooooove ambient but idk there hasn't been one that's like truly hooked me

[fast wraith]

.co the fire this time

[vagrant turtle]

Various Artists - The Fire This Time

[fast wraith]

its like part ambient part idm with spoken word over it

legit one of the most harrowing and engaging things i've ever heard

[abstract crag]

even more shocked green day father of all is only a 1, you're like their biggest hater

[fast wraith]

i would absolutely recommend

[fast wraith]

there are enemies greater than pop punk...

like the thing that sepeartes nctw from anything else

i can't even make fun of it

its a void

there's nothing there

[abstract crag]

keep seeing it pop up idk if I'm ready yet tbh

[fast wraith]

i can make fun of father of all and say that its minor league baseball game fodder

[fast wraith]

i understand but keep it in the back of your head

also stop at the instrumentals they don't really mean much when you do

[abstract crag]

true but also I gotta say I do fully think these all deserve a .5

[abstract crag]

wdym

[fast wraith]

its just instrumentals

of the songs that have already happened

because its like a story of the gulf war

[abstract crag]

oh so stop the album then

[fast wraith]

yeah yeah at least for like rating purposes

if you wanna hear the instrumentals go for it

[abstract crag]

okay

[fast wraith]

genuinely haven't heard much of these

i've never wanted to hear the chainsmokers in my life

fucking terrifying band

[abstract crag]

kinda impossible to not hear that song on the radio though

when it came out

[fast wraith]

i know i know

i just like

blocked it outta my memory

never wanna hear it again

[abstract crag]

ngl kinda sucks that coldplay went from pretty good to worst band ever upon entering the 2010's

[fast wraith]

LMFAO

damn

[glacial ravine]

Their pop era isn't the worst

Lots of solid tracks

Their current era is kinda terrible though

It's a miracle they managed to make Coloratura given the rest of the songs on music of the spheres

[terse monolith]

isnt anything thoughts

[abstract crag]

pretty good has a lot of highlights and is consistent but definitely far from loveless

idk why I didn't get a ping for this

also another update

[terse monolith]

true true i agree with your statement

good album but not quite loveless

m b v (the album) is mid

they released a bunch of eps and mini albums before that

some are alright

best one is ecstasy

[abstract crag]

yeah planning on listening to them soon

[terse monolith]

lemme rank all mbv shit

1. loveless duh
2. isnt anything (tie)
3. ecstasy (tie)
4. m b v
5. geek
6. the new record

[abstract crag]

[glacial ravine]

albums/eps in august 2024

[glacial ravine]

Yeah would be pretty crazy if blue wasn't a relisten lol

[glacial ravine]

Blue and Ride - Going Blank Again are the obvious classics for me

Nonagon Infinity is probably my favourite new listen though

[fast wraith]

i've always herad going blank again was really good

i may need to listen really soon i've heard Nowhere

[fast wraith]

i do need to check out gizz too...

[abstract crag]

afut emotionally destroyed me and i love edgy shit so i loved goblin also tylers flows were fucking fire

i find myself repeating lines from that album under my breath a lot which isnt good ngl because 80% of the lines are about sex or murder

sometimes both

[abstract crag]

I'm stupid sorry

[abstract crag]

quality sucks

[terse monolith]

how was aphex

[abstract crag]

does it still suck

[abstract crag]

really solid

[terse monolith]

a little but its legible

actually no its not that was a lie it looks like hieroglyphs

[abstract crag]

this is what I see

[terse monolith]

في عصر ما زال يبحث عنه الكثير في الوقت الراهن

ass chart

[abstract crag]

ngl maybe this will look decent if not I'll just delete the other images

[fast wraith]

surprisingly good low 8

[abstract crag]

I love the album a lot

[terse monolith]

i should listen

i unironically enjoy wonderwall tbh

today

is gonna be the day

[abstract crag]

wonderwall I like but it's overplayed

[abstract crag]

[glacial ravine]

ooh bandwagonesque is cool

haven't really listened to them much but it does sound like green era weezer

[abstract crag]

green if it was better than just okay tbh...

a lot of people like grand prix more but I think bandwagonesque was a little bit better

[fast wraith]

i don't ever hear wonderwall just walking around ngl

i genuinely hadn't heard it in years

[fast wraith]

this is legit so based

[fast wraith]

wonderwall is soooooo good

[fast wraith]

OBVIOUSLY‼️

[terse monolith]

TOPSTER UPDATE

added ratm - ratm, carcass - heartwork, and carcass - swansong

[abstract crag]

I mean it's not really played nowadays but when you have a song get to the point of the 'here's wonderwall' joke, it's still under the overplayed status in the general zeitgeist

[abstract crag]

also what do you guys think

[fast wraith]

lmfao i mean ok

[fast wraith]

i fw

[terse monolith]

pinkerton over blue made me splooge a bit

i like it a lot

i fw the descendents and the joy div as well

[abstract crag]

it kinda was last month too 🙄

[terse monolith]

im a bit

how do i put this

https://tenor.com/view/everywhere-at-the-end-of-time-its-just-a-burning-memory-backrooms-the-caretaker-trollge-gif-24774320

[abstract crag]

first of the month tbh

[jaunty topaz]

singles

[abstract crag]

the sidewinder sleeps tonite??

I mean it's a great r.e.m. song but I wouldn't think it'd be the only song to be on something like this

[terse monolith]

im your daddy/ beverly hills live is diabolical

[abstract crag]

true

[quiet mirage]

since I turn 16 soon, heres my fav album from each year ive been alive

The Peggy album is the only thing I’ve listened to this year

Idk what else dropped this year

[terse monolith]

should do that too

[abstract crag]

did it too

[quiet mirage]

Replace veteran with deep dark trench

I totally forgot it came out in 2018

[terse monolith]

😂😂

[fast wraith]

i'll do this as well

ik im late but like yeah

[fast wraith]

the question is do you think imaginal disk is overrated

[abstract crag]

not really, I rated it a 4 but I could see it becoming a 4.5, and I think the rym chart spot it has is mostly deserved

I wasn't as big on brat as most people but this album did reach that enjoyment for me

[fast wraith]

high 8 for me i agree

but like

105 all time is delusional

[abstract crag]

kinda true actually I meant like year charts

[fast wraith]

its like #8 for this year for me

i wouldn't say no to it being #1 tho

[abstract crag]

it's definitely top 3 for me, only contenders so far for being above it are sky hundred and a lonely sinner

[fast wraith]

my 100s

[abstract crag]

ngl I think my only perfect albums are like remain in light, long season, and ram

[lethal wren]

Latest topster of albums I've heard for the first time in listening order, any recs?

[abstract crag]

yo howd you like mothership connection

[lethal wren]

It was very good

[abstract crag]

nice

have you listened to any other parliament or any funkadelic?

[lethal wren]

I heard maggotbrain a while ago

[abstract crag]

nice

I definitely recommend free your mind by funkadelic and funkentelechy vs the placebo syndrome by parliament

[lethal wren]

Ok, thx!

[abstract crag]

wifi sucks so bad I can't even download the image

[terse monolith]

is bjork good

[abstract crag]

yeah

[glacial ravine]

holy shit OMD

ok i don't really remember the album much but souvenir is such a great song

[terse monolith]

whyd you listen to the smile theres still rh you havent heard

anyways i imagine to someone who doesnt like radiohead much that the smile mustve been absolute torture because even as a huge rh glazer i think its mid

[abstract crag]

it was better than pablo honey at least

[terse monolith]

true

low bar but still

[abstract crag]

I mean they are disconnected enough I thought it was fine

[terse monolith]

yea its fine fs just an odd choice

ive still only heard two thom solo albums

both werent the best

[abstract crag]

ngl I did not get in rainbows

I think I'll like a tear shaped pool though

[terse monolith]

a moon shaped pool is my personal favorite

[abstract crag]

moon shaped

idk why I said tear shaped

[terse monolith]

in rainbows is their best imo but i probably enjoy amsp more, rh is probably the only band where i actively separate my favorite and what i think is the best idk why

[abstract crag]

weezer's like that for me tbh

blue and pinkerton are their best but ewbaite just has a special place in my heart and is an easy 3rd

[terse monolith]

oh yea and joy division

[abstract crag]

mainly because after listening to the mid of red and raditude and the trash of hurley my ears were graced with an amazing album

[terse monolith]

unknown pleasures is their best i enjoy closer more

[abstract crag]

I think they're pretty close anyways

[terse monolith]

broke the cycle yea

[terse monolith]

same fs

[abstract crag]

white made me even more hopeful too

and then pd...

[terse monolith]

but almost every other band i can think of i would consider their best and my favorite pretty much the same

[abstract crag]

yeah same

oh yeah syntax I'm planning on listening to some more metal albums soon

[terse monolith]

😈

[abstract crag]

the main ones are, kill em all, killing is my business, paranoid, badmotorfinger, dirt, system of a down, rage against the machine, around the fur, and hybrid theory

most of these are like 40 or 50 minutes though so it'll take a while

[terse monolith]

killing is my sucks fucking ass ness ngl

listen to the good megadeth album tbh (rust in peace)

anyways yea those are all great picks

[abstract crag]

I might but I also wanna see hoe they started

I might do peace sells

idk

[terse monolith]

not good is how they started tbh

idk im like the one guy who doesnt like megadeth everyone else is obsessed with them so take my opinions with a grain of salt

but i fucking hate those first two albums lmao

[abstract crag]

erm also the main reason I chose that one tbh is that it's 30 minutes so a lot easier to listen to in quick succession of other metal 😭

[terse monolith]

most metals like 35-40 tbh

metallica sorta a standout

probably the first metal band to do long songs tbh

[abstract crag]

wait what because like every album I chose is like 40+ 💀

also just realized peace sells is 35 so not bad at all

[terse monolith]

paranoids like 40 i think

idk how long badmotorfinger is because i didnt care for it too much

i did care for dirt but i still dunno how long it is maybe 50ish

soad is 40

id imagine ratm is around 40

hybrid theory is roughly 35

around the fur is complicated

because theres like 30 minutes of silence and then a hidden track

so i actually dunno exactly how long it is but if i had to guess probably 45-50

[abstract crag]

50, 30, 42, 57, 57, 40, 52, like 45 or something with the nothing before the bonus track removed, 39

[terse monolith]

id also recommend slayer

and slipknot

[abstract crag]

maybe but probably later on after this initial batch

[terse monolith]

alr

[terse monolith]

anyways when youve listened to most or all of this ask me about some extreme shit

death metal type shit

[abstract crag]

alrighty old pal o' mine

[terse monolith]

most of the metal i like is extreme metal tbh

death carcass acid bath darkthrone

[abstract crag]

gojira interests me because of the godzilla name reference

[terse monolith]

ohh yea them too

from mars to sirius is beautiful

[abstract crag]

banger cover tbh

[terse monolith]

for sure

it was actually my first dm album

i enjoyed it

but id say the sound of perseverance by death was the reason i got into the genre

[abstract crag]

ngl you should listen to some jangle pop albums

[terse monolith]

yea prolly

[abstract crag]

want some suggestions

[terse monolith]

sure

[abstract crag]

r.e.m. - chronic town, murmur (both pretty post-punk as well and fantastic)
the smiths - the queen is dead (if you haven't already)
lloyd cole and the commotions - rattlesnakes
the sundays - reading, writing, and arithmetic
the church - starfish
the dream syndicate - the days of wine and roses

kind of a more varied selection but I think you'd like most of these pretty well

[terse monolith]

the smiths album is pretty cool

ill try to get to the rest soon but i have an utterly diabolical backlog of shit to listen to and less time than ever to listen to music so it could be a while

[abstract crag]

oh also underwater moonlight by the soft boys if you get a chance

[abstract crag]

yeah I completely understand I currently have like a constantly replenishing 40 tabs open on my phone of albums to listen to

[terse monolith]

my queue got so full i had to start searching albums and leaving them in my history to remember to listen to them

then that ended up getting full as well 😭 i had to resort to saving albums and then searching them in my library so they saved to my library history

[abstract crag]

😭

[quiet mirage]

updated 10's

[terse monolith]

idk if id call schlongenheim a 10

[abstract crag]

definitely wouldn't call kid a a 10

tbh only heard that and the aphex twin one off here

[terse monolith]

of the albums on here i know i wouldnt consider any a 10

altho downward spiral is closest

a high 90 prob

maybe 95

[abstract crag]

I think these might be mine, I'm not entirely sure, also the top 4 are the only ones I'd consider just straight up 100% perfect no flaws at all

[terse monolith]

i wasnt a fan of madvillainy tbh

[abstract crag]

60

[terse monolith]

whatd you overall think of peace sells

[abstract crag]

pretty good but kinda boring and the b side was mid

[terse monolith]

i dont hate megadeth i just see no reason to ever listen over metallica or slayer

i tend to over exaggerate my hate for them because it will never not bug me that all metalheads are obsessed with megadeth and i feel like the one guy who doesnt get it and that really pisses me off

[abstract crag]

that's always annoying

[terse monolith]

i know someone who's favorite metal band is megadeth and thats honestly the only time i can say that someone elses music taste has made me genuinely angry

[terse monolith]

ig in a way i get how you feel abt radiohead

[terse monolith]

oh yea, is retreat from the sun good

i liked the first two albums

[glacial ravine]

The Joyce manor and motion city soundtrack albums are great albums

[abstract crag]

wait yeah

[abstract crag]

yeah it's really good

[terse monolith]

better than the other two

[abstract crag]

idk

haven't heard any of their other stuff

[terse monolith]

oh

i own their first album on cd

[abstract crag]

nice

wait first album or ep

because I think they're both self titled as well

[terse monolith]

i didnt even know there was an ep

brb discogs

you were right there is an ep

[abstract crag]

yeah I figured it wasn't that but still

[terse monolith]

yes thoughts

[abstract crag]

really good

close to the edge of being a 5

[terse monolith]

[lilac warren]

Geek! Fan 👍

[glacial ravine]

Yeah that one wasn't too crazy but I didn't find it bad

[glacial ravine]

Is the actual buddy holly good

[abstract crag]

yeah

the chirping crickets are too but not as much

(that's his band btw if you don't know)

[glacial ravine]

Nice shoegaze run from just for a day to kitchens of distinction

The new cure is really good as well

[abstract crag]

actually everything inbetween the last 2 tyler albums are shoegaze

[abstract crag]

hopefully you can read this better

[glacial ravine]

Oh yeah thanks

Definitely recognise most of names, just not the covers

here's mine

[abstract crag]

[lethal wren]

Thoughts and Recommendations?

[abstract crag]

is this last month

anyways, alvvays, igor, the pop, free your mind, mellon collie, and franz ferdinand are all great

[lethal wren]

Just when I had time

[abstract crag]

ok

anyways here's my first 2 days of the month

[glacial ravine]

the fourth world is a cool album

more people should know about it

a third of your list is like artists i've been meaning to check out but just haven't had the opportunity to lol

[lethal wren]

Which artists?

[glacial ravine]

Alvvays, Smashing Pumpkins, Kendrick I've put off longer than I should

Songs ohia, beatles, ELO, Fiona Apple, XTC, Franz Ferdinand are also stuff I've been meaning to listen to

You can send recommendations from these artists if you want

[lethal wren]

Alvvays-Debut
Smashing Pumpkins-Siamese Dream or Mellon Collie
Kendrick-To Pimp A Butterfly
Song Ohia-Mongolia Electric Co
Beatles-Abbey Road or Revolver
ELO-Eldorado
Fiona Apple-When The Pawn..
XTC-Drums and Wires
Franz Ferdinand-Self Titled

[abstract crag]

ride, devo, tmbg, and flaming lips mentioned 🥶

[glacial ravine]

That is a lot of swans

I like the emo/pop punk/death cab run of albums

Are the jeff rosenstock band albums good?

[abstract crag]

yeah

especially three cheers for disappointment

[lilac warren]

Someloves! 👍
I need to hear Triffids but I know they’re Aussie 🇦🇺
Kitchens Of Distinction 👍

Speaking of Someloves I should make a topster of just Power-Pop

70s, 80s and 90s have such different but great sounds in Power-Pop

I made this a few weeks ago and could definitely add more, but yeah
(1 album per artist)
Otherwise it would be just XTC and Gary Numan

[abstract crag]

oh sugar nice

favorite song on copper blue? mine is hoover dam

[lilac warren]

Slick
Makes me wanna move and belt out the words almost everytime

Not on here, because of 1 album per artist but Panama City Hotel is my fav off Sugar: Easy listening.

The timing of finding Sugar is so annoying.
I didn't want to bother my brother taking me and my friend to a concert in short notice and probably couldn't of gotten tickets anyway.
He was in Melbourne 3 days ago...
I need to hear Husker-Du as well (I've New Day Rising and liked that)

Apparently he's played Copper Blue in full before

RIP to that show but maybe in the future

[abstract crag]

still gotta listen to that primal scream album

also uchu nippon setagaya lets go!!

one of my favorite albums of all time

[glacial ravine]

Yeah it's an amazing album

[abstract crag]

biggest highlights: duster, contemporary movement; the microphones, mount eerie, microphones in 2020; silver jews, american waters; modest mouse, the moon and antarctica; built to spill, ultimate alternative wavers, ancient melodies of the future; mount eerie, winds poem, a crow looked at me, now only, night palace; lync, these are not fall colors; the wrens, seacaucus, the meadowlands; the dismemberment plan, emergency and i; kleenex girl wonder, ponyoak; mass of the fermenting dregs, s/t, world is yours; brave little abacus, just got back from the discomfort; my chemical romance, three cheers for sweet revenge; pinback, s/t; life without buildings, any other city; death cab for cutie, transatlanticism; the arrogant sons of bitches, three cheers for disappointment; swans, cop, public castration is a good idea; self, subliminal plastic motives; the postal service, give up; sheena ringo, shouso strip; wire, chairs missing; wipers, youth of america; unwound, fake train; seatbelts, cowboy bebop soundtracks

[glacial ravine]

Hell yeah mj lenderman and english teacher

They're in my top 10 albums of the year

[abstract crag]

didn't really like the english teacher album

but the mj lendermen one is great

[glacial ravine]

Didn't see automotion as well

Haven't listened to a lot of their stuff but they seem cool

[glacial ravine]

You must like swans

[abstract crag]

they're pretty alright

I'm just going through their discography in order because it all seems interesting and I didn't want to start with their later more well known albums

though white light from the mouth and the great annihilator were both really good

[glacial ravine]

I've thought about listening to them but damn even the length of their songs and albums are pretty intimidating

[glacial ravine]

Thoughts on the mbv EPs?

[abstract crag]

first one just alright, geek is pretty mediocre, the new record is decent, sunny sundae smile pretty good but the title track easily the best, strawberry wine is great, and ecstasy is pretty solid

I'd probably rank their discography as

1. you made me realize
2. loveless
3. tremolo
4. glider
5. isn't anything
6. strawberry wine
7. ecstasy
8. sunny sundae smile
9. feed me with your kiss
10. the new record by my bloody valentine
11. this is your bloody valentine
12. m b v
13. geek

[abstract crag]

fishmans mentioned!!

been meaning to listen to a few of these (samurai, kids see ghosts, meddle, and young team)

[glacial ravine]

samurai is pretty good

the title track is really catchy

KSG and young team are just really cool vibes

meddle is probably the weakest of those, echoes basically outshines everything else imo

[rapid gate]

Peaksaur jr

[glacial ravine]

happy new year!!!

[abstract crag]

biggest highlights: sufjan stevens, illinois; wilco, summerteeth; black country new road, live at bush hall; purple mountains, s/t; unwound, new plastic ideas; wire, 154; modest mouse, building something out of nothing; broken social scene, you forgot it in people; swans, white light..., the great annihilator; elliott smith, either/or, xo; moss icon, lyburnum wits end liberation; portishead, dummy; woody guthrie, dust bowl ballads; jeff rosenstock, worry; vincs guarlaldi, a charlie brown christmas; slowdive, souvlaki

[lethal wren]

Another topster of albums I've listened to for the first time. Thoughts/recommendations?

[glacial ravine]

of the big four of britpop you're only missing suede on this list

who i like a lot

so maybe worth checking out

though as always important to remember britpop never really sounded too similar

[lethal wren]

What album by Suede is a good staring point?

[glacial ravine]

I don't know their discog too well outside of it but Coming Up has a lot of bangers

[lethal wren]

Ok thank you!

[glacial ravine]

After all I think it has all their biggest hits

*some

[lethal wren]

Favorite albums of all time in no real specific order(its basic I'm sorry)

[abstract crag]

xtc woohoo

[glacial ravine]

gotta appreciate viva la vida and 13

[abstract crag]

oh yeah also I literally just listened to insomniac for the first time today

[lethal wren]

Thoughts?

[abstract crag]

very consistent, not a ton of huge standouts though, better than american idiot, not as good as dookie

[lethal wren]

topster of albums I've listened to for the first time². Thoughts/recommendations?

[abstract crag]

joy division anr the replacements are goated, haven't really heard much else though

oh all things must pass is great too

and go 2 is kinda mid but I love the cover

haven't heard that johnny cash one for a while but it's good

completely missed pavement, love crooked rain crooked pain

[abstract crag]

looks like the franz ferdinand album's image didn't load

but uh, long season!! also king master george! the modest mouse, smashing pumpkins, teenage fanclub, and tmbg albums are goated too

my month

somewhere above 30 of these are eps

[abstract crag]

biggest highlights are: the avalanches, since you left; massive attack, mezzanine; unwound, repetition, the light at the end of the tunnel..., challenge for a civilized society; swans, soundtracks for the blind; weatherday, come in; k yoshimatsu, marine crystal; riverside, one; marijata, this is marijata; djeli moussa diawara, s/t; milton nascimento & lo borges, clube de esquina; gustavo cerati, bocanda

[abstract crag]

[abstract crag]

biggest highlights: unwound, leaves turn inside you; bjork, post; squid, cowards; the wicked farleys, make it it, sustained interest; drive like jehu, yank crime; miles davis, cookin, workin; oklou, choke enough; indian summer, giving birth to thunder; swans, swans are dead; circus mort, s/t; rodan, rusty; animal collective, campfire songs; david bowie, scary monsters; built to spill caustic resin, s/t; sufjan stevens, michigan; devon hendryx, dreamcast summer songs; this heat, deceit

[glacial ravine]

here's mine

enjoyed white light way more than soundtracks for the blind

[abstract crag]

kinda same

[lethal wren]

Thoughts and recommendations are appreciated

[abstract crag]

I listened to infinity on high and prospekts march this month too

also cool to see alvvays and the cardigans

what's that nirvana one though is it like a bootleg or live show or something because I know they have a rome show that's fairly well known

and how's apple venus 2

[lethal wren]

Roma is a soundboard boot yes

From 94 I think

[lethal wren]

Not as good as AV 1 but id still recommend

[abstract crag]

yeah that's what I've heard

I'm really happy I found a copy of apple venus 1 on cd but I still haven't listened to it yet, wanna save them for last and I still gotta listen to nonsuch in full

[lethal wren]

AV is great, Nonsuch is too

[abstract crag]

oh yeah speaking of xtc I listened to the big express

[lethal wren]

Thoughts?

[abstract crag]

I feel it's probably the most underrated xtc album

[lethal wren]

I gotta relisten to that Mummer and O&L

[abstract crag]

I wasn't too big on mummer and o&l definitely had to grow on me outside of the singles

[lethal wren]

Love on a farmboy's wages is good

I like that song

[abstract crag]

yeah, that, wonderland, deliver us from the elements, and especially great fire are really good but the rest didn't really live up to it in my mind

[lethal wren]

What's your favorite XTC album so far

[abstract crag]

skylarking

drums and wires is close, black sea is probably 3rd

[lethal wren]

My top 3 is

Black Sea
Skylarking
Drums and Wires

[abstract crag]

nice

go2 is probably the weakest one, it kinda feels like the leftovers of white music though it still has some good songs

[lethal wren]

Crowded Room and Jumping In Gomorrah are my favorites of that one

[abstract crag]

meccanik dancing and my weapon are mine

I am the audience too

[lethal wren]

It probably feels like WM 2 because it came out the same year

[abstract crag]

yeah

[glacial ravine]

once every few weeks we can revive the best part of weezercord

[abstract crag]

true, I'll probably listen to something else so I'll send mine later

I haven't listened to magnolia electric co. yet but I like the songs ohia album I gave heard

the lioness I think

kimono my house, sol-fa, and the fall ep go hard, also been meaning to check out sigur ros and chinese football

[glacial ravine]

the chinese football EP is short and a pretty good introduction to them

[abstract crag]

!!

biggest highlights: low, I could live in hope; swans, to be kind, the glowing man; xtc, the big express; carissa's weird, you should be at home here, songs about leaving; panda bear, person pitch; ichiko aoba, windswept adan; modest mouse, everywhere and his nasty parlour tricks; sufjan stevens, seven swans; this heat, health and efficiency; public image ltd, metal box; dog faced hermans, hum of life; the jesus and mary chain, psychocandy; weatherday, hornet disaster; huremic, seeking darkness; songs ohia, the lioness; quasi, featuring birds; citrobal, my caution line; sidney gish, no dogs allowed; tiger trap, s/t; unwound, a single history; yo la tengo, painful; slowdive, s/t; miles davis, the birth of cool

[glacial ravine]

did you listen to luminescent creatures yet? my current AOTY

[abstract crag]

not yet, I was going to after I listened to windswept adan but I kept getting sidetracked, will listen soon though

[abstract crag]

too much radiohead

[lethal wren]

Thoughts and recommendations?

[abstract crag]

violent femmes!! peak album. ngl in terms of dukes of stratosphear I really like 25 o clock but I don't care for psonic psunspot at all really, the fugazi eps are good, haven't heard takanaka yet for some reason, slouvaki is awesome

[glacial ravine]

unfortunately i now have much less time to listen to music

this looks so pathetic compared to just a month ago lol

[abstract crag]

dang, at least ride, talking heads, and ozma are peak

also isn't that first album the band maroon 5 was before maroon 5? or am I misremberinng

[glacial ravine]

yeah it is

argy bargy!! pretty cool album, a good amount of this is stuff that's been on the back of mind for a while, I have an uh oh cassette but I have heard it yet, 154 is awesome didn't notice that yet I love that album

if you liked heavy metal and 3d country listen to 4d country it's not as good but still worthwhile, also how is we are urusei yatsura

[lethal wren]

We Are Urusei Yatsura is decent

[raw oyster]

I'm super into underground, weird, unknown music, none of that stuff you normies like. I doubt any of you guys would recognize a single album on this topster. I'm just so different..

Recs and thoughts? The stuff I liked the most is the second pic.

[abstract crag]

for stuff like kind of blue I reccomend some earlier coltrane albums like my favorite things, africa / brass, and ole coltrane, alongside in a silent way by miles davist too. listen to made of stone by the stone roses and technique by new order if you haven't, also american waters by silver jews and purple mountains self titled. since I left you is really really good but I haven't heard too much else like them but maybe you would like the go team idk

there's some solid stuff here I've grown to really like the stone roses
