imo what's criminally underrated is in rainbows. that was actually a great fucking album and wouldve been considered album of the year had it come from any band not-radiohead |

NEVER GETS OLD. AS PER ITS NAME, THIS ALBUM PRETTY MUCH CREATED HARDCORE. http://youtu.be/Mzf1C6OazC4 * The Dear Hunter - Act II: The Meaning of, and All Things Regarding Ms. Leading [ROCK] EVERY BAND MEMBER IS A FAN-FUCKING-TASTIC MUSICIAN, BUT NOTHING THEY PLAY IS MASTURBATORY; IT ALL SOUNDS GREAT. LYRICS ARE STRAIGHT UP POETRY. http://youtu.be/jhFEzuODEYs * Nirvana - Nevermind NO FUCKING EXPLANATION NEEDED. * Brand New - Deja Entendu [ROCK, VAGUELY EMO] CATCHY AS FUCK. EVERY SINGLE TRACK IS AMAZING. SOMETHING ABOUT THIS ALBUM JUST... WORKS. http://youtu.be/h3YVKTxTOgU * The White Stripes - Get Behind Me Satan [ROCK] HARD TO CHOOSE A WHITE STRIPES ALBUM SINCE THEY ARE ALL SOLID AS FUKK BUT I THINK GBMS HAS GOTTEN THE MOST LISTENS OUT OF ME, DESPITE BEING RELATIVELY NEW (2005). http://youtu.be/DodG8IcnOZk * Porcupine Tree - In Absentia [PROGRESSIVE ROCK] I DARE YOU TO FIND ME SOMEONE WHO DOESN'T LIKE THIS FUCKING ALBUM. http://youtu.be/dRYzo7uQugc * King Crimson - In the Court of the Crimson King [PROGRESSIVE ROCK] THIS ALBUM IS ONLY FIVE SONGS AND THE ONLY ONE MOST PEOPLE KNOW, '21ST CENTURY SCHIZOID MAN', IS THE FIFTH BEST. YEAH, HTFH, THIS ALBUM IS FUCKING GREAT UNLESS YOU HATE PROG, AND EVEN IF YOU DO, YOU SHOULD GET HIGH AND LISTEN TO THIS AND YOU'LL PROBABLY LIKE IT. http://youtu.be/OuF7VoVkSpY * Opeth - Ghost Reveries [PROGRESSIVE DEATH METAL] IT MAY NOT SOUND LIKE HUGE PRAISE TO SAY THAT THIS IS THE BEST PROGRESSIVE DEATH METAL ALBUM EVER CREATED AND WILL PROBABLY NEVER BE SURPASSED. BUT IT IS, AND IT IS, AND IT WON'T. EVEN IF YOU DON'T LIKE METAL OR GROWLING VOX, PUT THIS ON NEXT TIME YOU'RE IN A REALLY BAD MOOD AND YOU WILL BE FEELING IT, I PROMISE. http://youtu.be/_5kJB_SWCpw * The Dresden Dolls - The Dresden Dolls [FEMALE-FRONTED CABARET PUNK] CATCHY AS FUCK. AMANDA PALMER IS *THE* CAWG. http://youtu.be/uwgT-7z7-_8 * Cloud Nothings - Attack on Memory [ROCK] ROCKS SO HARD. AMAZING.

Date: April 24th, 2012 3:52 PM Author: misanthropic codepig chad haven't listened much - was in a metal phase when it came out. i remember thinking it was a pretty big departure from their old stuff. gonna listen to it again nao, don't think i've listened in like five years. what'd you think?

Date: April 24th, 2012 3:57 PM Author: Galvanic selfie It and Deja are the only Br& Nizzle albums I've ever listened to with any degree of regularity. I'm a fan of both, but I much prefer Devil and God. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1931966&forum_id=2#20537372) |
|
Date: April 24th, 2012 3:58 PM Author: misanthropic codepig chad i remember JC being great.
yeah their old stuff is a lot... rougher. they sound like kids on Your Favorite Weapon. (probably were.) Deja was definitely a bigger change in style than Devil & God, now that i think of it. there was just so much TIME between Deja and Devil & God. |

Date: April 24th, 2012 11:16 PM Author: Seedy Pearl Ladyboy Friend, with the exception of the Dresden Dolls, this is an excellent list. I can't stand cabaret punk. Anyway, I'd never heard of Cloud Nothings, but I'm on "Fall In" and I can safely say this is a 170+ album. Steve Albini FTW once again. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1931966&forum_id=2#20541166) |
|
Date: April 24th, 2012 11:18 PM Author: misanthropic codepig chad ty friend! it's a solid album through & through - 'fall in' is actually my least favorite track i think!
i read in an interview that albini didn't really do much (was just like "y'all go in there and let it do what it do") and that the band is kind of annoyed that people keep giving him credit for the album's sound, haha. but tcr that steve albini's name correlates with awesome once again. :)))) |

Date: April 25th, 2012 12:09 AM Author: razzmatazz pit nowag While I wouldn't necessarily call it my favorite song, there's something about "It's Alright Ma (I'm Only Bleeding)" that captivates me every time I listen to it.
