Lane Visitor Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 808 State's Ex El. It's a go to of mine and have been playing it on my way to and from work for the last few days. Such an awesome journey as is every 808 State release. Really love the chilly exotic world vibes and light plastic quirkiness of it. And the features of Bjork and Bernard Sumner are sublime.

dingformung Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Listened to ex WATMM user Ragnar's album, it's pretty nice. For some drunk reason I didn't use his album art when uploading it to YouTube, might change that. Pretty cool music Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hello spiral Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Pavement - Slanted and Enchanted / Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain ... So I tried again after a few years and still can’t comprehend why this shit band is so well liked. Slanted and Enchanted is a stone cold classic. Shrooms might help. It's a very very psyche informed album. If you listen when ur tripping you're aware of just how much sideways slippage there is, in both the music and the vox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beerwolf Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 (edited) Steal This Album! by SOAD Hahah so fucking great, so miss this band. Pretty sure the drummer told a story when Chris Cornell committed suicide that he felt a deep regret SOAD had wasted so many years in the wilderness doing fuck all (though I know there were a few solo albums released). Wasted talent. The last few albums were iffy, no doubt. These four individuals need to get back in the studio. Maybe they lost it? Gay ego nonsense? Shame. Nobody like them.

ghOsty Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 I picked this album up on a whim today after reading the description sticker and having the album art catch my eye... Pleasantly surprised, it's pretty damn good darker synth-pop/coldwave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zaphod Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 i'm listening to his new ambient record. it's alright, nothing spectacular. also been listening to the first manic street preachers record. i don't get why this band was so hyped in the 90s. other than motorcycle emptiness, which is a great song, they just sound like a very generic rock band from the late eighties with leftist lyrics. maybe it gets better.

eugene Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 (edited) nirvana - nevermind haven't heard this one for a very long while, and oh man, it is truly embarrassing. that overly affected cobain singing comes off very fake. i always thought nirvana was supposed to be punk and not give a shit but this is very far from it. the lyrics are plain juvenile, chock full of teenage sarcasm and cynicism, the cover art too. very dull and repetitive song structure with this quiet-loud-quiet/verse-chorus-verse butt rock progression and fast snare rolls before the loud parts. retrospectively i'm kinda glad i didn't really like it back in school days when everyone was supposed to.

Zephyr_Nova Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 (edited) I never noticed this thread until just now lol Jim O'Rourke's Eureka & Insignificance. Excellent combo to walk to work to in the morning. Fuck yeah. Gave all my O'Rourke CDs another listen to 2 just last month. Everything about his delivery is so understated, while the music itself is deceptively complex. I also like the sweet sound/disturbing lyric combo he tends to gravitate towards. All those things together create something pretty unique. Also a big fan of his very dry but well balanced production. Everything just sounds like it actually sounds. I think that worked really well especially for the stuff he did with Sonic Youth (even though everyone hates NYC Ghosts and Flowers for some odd reason). Just got into Fu Manchu. Man, their second album Daredevil is killer. Fuzzed out to hell sabbath riffs, drums constantly on the verge of falling apart, and practically every song is about how awesome and fast his car is. Gave it one listen before bed, and another with my coffee. No disappointment whatsoever. I could listen to those fuzz tones forever. Makes me want to have a project soley devoted to riffs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y-hQmO7Syic Edited August 13, 2018 by Zephyr_Nova Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zephyr_Nova Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 He was actually a pretty accomplished lyricist, in so far as he had his own very distinctive poetic style, which was at the same time very direct and relatable to a lot of people. Nevermind was produced in a way that I don't think was best suited for Nirvana's sound on an artistic level, though obviously from a commercial standpoint it was the right choice. In Utero does a much better job of capturing their whole vibe. Cobain's innate sense of songcraft was always remarkable - he was an expert pop tunesmith regardless of whether he wanted to be. But it's really his vocal delivery that makes him so iconic. No one else has a voice like that. You can hear a lot of obvious influences in his songwriting, but as a vocalist he was one of a kind.

eugene Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 in utero is a much, much better album indeed. it still has some dull, grungy butt rockers like "rape me" and "hear shaped box", but then there a lot of songs where they get both very inventive and unhinged at the same time turning the formula on its head. scentless apprentice's verse is that uncharacteristically heavy and boomy riff that lifts off by the end but turns into chorus that's basically cobain tearing his throat screeching. it's awesome, it's almost a complete opposite of those edgy, sarcastic songs for teens to learn the chords of and sing along to for which they got popular.
