Is this the most glorified and overrated 6/10 album ever? Are people shitposting when they say this is a 'classic'?

How can you sit through that record and honestly think it's only a 6/10? In the off chance you aren't baiting, you are really fucking stupid and you should stop listening to music.

That boy needs therapy

/thread

I'm genuinely not shitposting. What is so special about it? I will admit that the cover is stunning and there are some really great songs on here but it really isn't that good as people make it out to be, I would say anything above a 6 or a 7 is overrating it. It seems like people are just saying this album is great because of the 'mystery' behind the group or perhaps it's Australians meme'ing it as a classic because their country has no actual talent?

this album made plunderphonics

it's the most overrated 5/10 release ever. It benefited from being in a genre that indie rock listeners feel the need to be able to name drop as something they like without actually putting any effort into understanding or listening to it.

this + endtroducing...

>im not shitposting
>but other people who love the album must be shitposting

lame bait my nig

Fuck you you cock ass cunt face indie rock dipshit. Plunderphonics was invented by John Oswald DECADES prior. I hope you fucking die.

DJ Shadow's album came before this and it's a much better ""plunderphonics"" album. Also sampling has existed for a long time dude. I think the sampling is good don't get me wrong but it's not revolutionary. Just because they used a lot of samples doesn't mean it make it good. Dilla could make a beautiful song out of like 2 samples it takes like 6 guys 50-100 samples to make a somewhat good song. It's sad.

Also once again. Give me a genuine reason why this album deserves the status it gets, just blurting out a meme word like plunderphonics isn't going to cut it. This album is simply a meme at this point.

:'(

>perhaps it's Australians meme'ing it as a classic because their country has no actual talent?

Your opinion means less and less as you post.

You meme cunts with your Dilla and DJ Shadow and "plunderphonics is just sampling" make me fucking sick. I wish I didn't have to deal with this shit daily but these hack fraud indie fucktards decided to make another mediocre shit album so now I have to hear the same misinformed dumb shit from Sup Forumstants daily

...

>lots of people like this album that I don't like
>they must all be memeing

If you actually want a legit answer, for me personally I like the its mellowness while still being a dance album. While I haven't listen to Endtroducting, I did listen to Donuts and it really felt more like a collection of ideas while SILY has more defined songs (though I wouldn't call anyone who likes Donuts a memer).

stop this shit. these are not the only three plunderphonics albums. Donuts isn't even a plunderphonics album. The only reason you compare these three is because you don't actually care about electronic music and have sampled the bare minimum to pretend you have an opinion for Sup Forums.

Let's hear some recs

Did I say I was an expect in the genre? No, I was just explaining why I liked the album

Rec killing yourself

It's an electronic dance music album with a very unique feel to it due to the plunderphonics approach it took towards making it. There's no album or music that exists like this album. The closest is some of the more sample-heavy OPN stuff, but even that is so far from it since it lacks the groovy/rhythmic stuff on this album.

SILY is better than Endtroducing imo. But it doesn't take a genius to figure out it's at least an 8/10. What does that say about you, OP?

John Oswald and some reading to start you lazy fuck

Nice cop out. Do you admit near-total ignorance in electronic music unprompted when you're being ~totally subjective~?

>implying Aussies drink Fosters

You make me sick

>J Dilla
>Talented

Why are you so mad about things you don't like?

It's almost like people have different values when it comes to what music they like.

>different values
liking avalanches is 9/10 a side effect of not trying any other electronic music. it isn't a difference of values if you don't give other things a chance.

The point is that I enjoy it. What's the problem here?

You keep calling it great plunderphonics because you think the genre name makes you sound eclectic but you've listened to max 1 other one. You're a cancerous dilletante

We don't even drink fosters. If you change it to vb then spot on

what are 10/10's to you?

I'm not the poster who was talking about plunderphonics.

I like it for what it is, and I acknowledge that there's much more to the genre than that , if it even falls within that category. I don't care if it's "great" "plunderphonics" or not, it satisfies me and that's what matters.

This is my favorite album of all time and has saved my life on multiple occasions. And i'm an avid listener of electronic music.

electronic music is my favorite genre to listen to in general and SILY is my favorite album of all time.

Since I Left You and Frontier Psychiatrist are fantastic. The rest is pretty forgettable desu.

>google this john oswald tit
>just some godforsaken protovaporwave desecrating the late michael jackson with bikini drawn on in microshop paint
>dont even bother with reading

you total boob

You're forgettable you fucking piece of shit. Rim me

>Hype for this band arises given the circumstances
>Out of the fucking blue everyone hates it

le ebin memez

This

Agreed. Fucking overrated piece of shit.

what other electronic music do you like

I like Ricardo Villalobos, Moritz Von Oswald Trio, Underworld, Children of the Bong, Aphex Twin, Laura Grabb, Juan Atkins, Moodymann, J. Tijn, Sos Gunver Ryberg, Nidia Minaj, Mathias Aguayo, Plastikman, Autechre, Aphex Twin, Drexciya, Aril Brikha, Tin Man, Global Communication, Anna Meredith, Ike Release, DÅRFDHS, Cylob, Matmos, Move D, Shackleton, Wolfgang Voigt, Omar-S, Jlin, Vladislav Delay off the top of my head

It's the younger people on the board who promote this album so much. Along with albums like MPP, Kanye West's discography, and others that don't take too much effort or intelligence to comprehend.

listed Aphex Twin twice lmao sorry I'm tired af

its very accesible and poppy so basically just the right thing for people that usually only listen to rock music or something and are not really interested in "electronic music".

I like SILY but this is very wrong and I don't know how people can still believe it. The genre started in the 80s and there were plenty of heavy sample based artists and albums before it. It's impressive what they managed to do, I agree, but all it is is a good sample based album, it was nowhere near the first or somehow "made" the genre.

I guess I'm an exception to the rule then because this is my fav album and listen to a lot of electronic (i made the list of some of the electronic music I like a few posts above)

Someone recommend heavily sample based music that isn't Endtroducing or SILY since there's apparently plenty of good stuff besides them but people never name any.

I have listened to stuff besides those two, I just want more sample heavy music because I love it.

This is more glorified and overrated, except this is more like a 5/10. People just feel like they have to love this because he went crazy. It would be more in the 3-4/10 range if it weren't for Interstellar Overdrive. Totally cheap, third rate 1976 bubblegum. It would sound ironic any year outside of 1967. Syd Barrett wasn't a genius, and his whole take on psychedelia was absolutely grating. His solo albums are even worse. Pink Floyd improved immensely after Syd Barrett was out, it's just unfortunate that they had this absurd association with him for the rest of their existence and afterward. They'd be far more respected had they never been fronted by this autistic, drugged out child.

John Oswald started this genre when he composed "Power" in the mid-'70s.

has nothing to do with the topic. create your own thread or kys.

Etoh is best track, fite me

Trying more to get recs for stuff I haven't heard of, more obscure stuff, though I still haven't listened to Oswald yet.

I found The Avalanches by accident and it opened the doors for electronic music for me. 10/10 will always recommend. Might even go see them at Splendur in da Grass, Australia for lols. Anyone else?

Yeah, its utterly fucking average and only liked for the memes and muh sampling bullshit. Anyone who thinks this is great you can completely disregard their taste in music

Do you just not like sampling in general?

you're utterly fucking average.

kys

Who gives a shit about fucking plunderphonics when its just another name for sampling. God you retards are impressionable, the same pitchfork drones that love trap and other garbage review sites decide to like this month

>disregarding's someone's taste over 1 album

>kys
Fuck off back to youtube

Plunderphonics is more used for stuff that's entirely or almost entirely made through sampling.

Sampling is fine, but to act like avalanches are amazing cause they use samples to make generic mash up core is disgusting

Beats dealing with an autistic shitposter like you anyday

Yes, now fuck off and kill yourself.

It is pretty impressive though. People do overrate them I think, like the people who say they were one of the first artists to do something similar, but I'm just amazed at the amount of outright hate that started when the stuff about the new album started coming up recently. I mean "generic mash up core"? Holy shit you need to get a hold of yourself.

If SILY is my fav album of all time am I overrating them or do I just connect a lot with this particular album and not as much with any other album.

hint: it's the second one

Nope, this is. But more of an overglorified 5/10.

youtube.com/watch?v=N1U5_EruNpg&list=PLS5g_K6WzDf1mNDDSplWYniqJJWzDkfcb

This is more turntablism-oriented, but there's a decent amount of sampling on here.

the edit that was originally created is better than the released mix

go on a roadtrip with your homies driving accross the country in the dead of night cruising to this album and come back and tell me its a 6/10

Cool, thanks. Just picked one kind of at random, Memory and Money. The first song kind of grated on me but I'm on the second one right now and it's getting more enjoyable. Not as melodic as SILY (and really that's an issue with most plunderphonics) but I'll check some more of these out at some point.

Those are all more artsy turntable music, you have the alternate turntable music based hip hop option too;

Most of those albums are more experimental and "out-there", except for the Kid Koala album. If you want a sample-heavy album similar to SILY, go with

There's also kopirat - mayan mix, which is more hip-hop-oriented (ie, more scratching, a bit more laid-back) but with a decent amount of samples and entirely accessible.

>Syd Barrett wasn't a genius, and his whole take on psychedelia was absolutely grating.

plunderphonics isn't just sampling, it's constructing songs purely from samples. That hadn't been done before, it basically invented post-modern music

I'm seeing them in August.

Barrett and Madcap Laughs are both garbage

this is either very low-quality bait or complete horseshit from a stupid ape of a poster. post-modern music began in the '50s with John Cage, and plunderphonics began in 1975 with John Oswald, who coined the term and had a career spanning decades of producing music of that kind

>listening to Astronomy Domine and Interstellar Overdrive and not getting high off music

does anyone have a Sup Forums essentials image saved from 2010 or 2011 or something?

please upload?

Look on the mutronica blog.

THE AVALUNCHES INVENTED MUSIC YOU FUCKING MONG

THAT WAS THE BEATLES YOU MONG!

I agree. I listened to this album a lot, but got boring after awhile. Endtroducing never gets boring.

Endtroducing gets boring by the time the 6th track sounds exactly like the others what are you saying

I think you meant to post OK Computer's album cover, OP.

It's cool, but still doesn't have SILY's atmosphere, nor, again, the approach to groovy beats SILY has either.

youtube.com/watch?v=Ve48Riz5B4w

Lol none of these albums ppl are posting are better than SILY by any stretch of the imagination. Y'all are just convincing yourselves of this to be contrarian.

some people prefer that avant-garde techniques be used to explore new horizons of timbre, make commentary on politics, and other such things instead of being put in the service of a home listening record that tries its hardest to convince people who don't like dance music that it's the best of its genre. If it's dance, it's bloated. If it's home listening material, it's too simple.

>it's constructing songs purely from samples. That hadn't been done before
It had been done plenty of times before SILY.

It's a good record but it's mainly for entry into the broader scope of the genre. Those who never went beyond it think it's perfect, simple as.

its the most "albums where the first track is the only good track" album ever

yh ppl our sooo stupid lol its all about this generation desu like get with the times lmao im so glad ppl like us have great taste and can listen to pop but be real connosaurs, we listen to swans tho we patrish

Kill yourself my dude
