Thanks Nat!

cunt

is listening to every album in the rym top 1000 a bad idea? it seems like after you break the first 200 or so there's some good stuff

>cunt
oops that wasn't supposed to be there

Get in the plug, not enough people are laughing at my jokes.

>Implying more people in plug will solve your problem

was looking for a DJ Screw thread, is this a safe place to discuss S.U.C. and other Houston rappers?

Yes, but I'll have no idea who any of them are.

Yeah man who do you like

Rafael Anton Irisarri - A Fragile Geography (2015)
>ambient, drone

Brings absolutely nothing new to the table of ambient/drone music, but it's so goddamn pretty and fuzzy and pleasant, with a little bit of spookiness thrown in. This is one of those albums that I wanna just drift away into sleep while listening too. The problem is its not a very engaging active listen, but it's just such a nice drifting record.

3.0-

Moving Targets - Burning in Water (1986)
>post-hardcore, melodic hardcore

I hate melodic hardcore, but this generally stays more in the post-hardcore style, it's a lot like Husker Du, honestly. It's nice, but there's no variation, it just gets tiring by the end. The one consistently great thing here are the drums, they're fucking amazing, so fast and smooth. But it just plays out its sound by the end, still a good listen though.

2.5-

hell yes it is!

>The problem is its not a very engaging active listen
>>ambient, drone

hey i still dug it

i know, it's just not the goal of most ambient records to be "active"

very true, but i'd say i have found many ambient records that are better active listens than irisarri's, with shifting textures and drawn-out melodies and such.

are u sure of that my freind

i haven't heard it, so i wouldn't know.
you might like Taylor Deupree's Snow (Dusk, Dawn) if you're into more active stuff. It's beautiful, and under 20 minutes long.
the fuck is this

Gonna post this right now because I'm currently only two hours into the 10 Symphonies because I hate myself. Feel free to file complaints below:

>dat Eleh rating
Fish my respect for you decreases by the day.

It's much to formulaic to be a worthwhile minimalist piece for me, sorry.

whoa, why such a high score for negativland's s/t?
also that hawaii pt 2 score makes me very sad

>also that hawaii pt 2 score makes me very sad
Same
That sumnabitch said it sounds like Owl City

Why is four and a half minutes of applause a separate track.

Just realized I have folders there called "hampus" and "Fishmans pics" lmao

It was probably the most interesting sound collage piece I'd ever heard. It really played into my personal sensibilities that I don't really care to or know how to describe. VERY few lackluster parts, as well as being pretty unpredictable, even with all the stuff I'd heard of theirs before.

Pretty much the worst review ever, but I hope you get what I mean.

Also, I don't know who all these people defending Hawaii pt 2 are. Like I get if you enjoy it and all but more than half of my RYM friends gave it less than 2.5. Why is my low score such a shock to everyone?

Does anyone have a good 320 link to 9 Symphonien? None of the slsk sources I've found have gotten past the "queued" stage.

What are your top 10 of the year so far?
I think mine are these:

>Abbath - Abbath
>Idris Ackamoor & The Pyramids - We Be All Africans
>Chairlift - Moth
>Keda - Hwai
>Konono No 1 & Batida - Konono Meets Batida
>Jessy Lanza - Oh No
>Anna Meredith - Varmints
>Moonsorrow - Jumalten aika
>Marissa Nadler - Strangers
>Nails - You Will Never Be One of Us

People throw around "epic" and "dynamic" a lot with classical I've noticed but this shit really takes the cake. I always wonder about the logistics of recording a 7+ hour album like this. How long does it take? How much does it cost? There are over a dozen credited performers, and although I have (obviously) little knowledge of classical, I always wonder who makes all these decisions about how its compiled. Is it an estate? A label? A democracy between performers/compilers? Shouldn't probably be thinking this hard about it and should probably be concentrating, but shit just makes me think. Any sperg can record a 20 hour drone album in their mom's basement, but this shit must've been a pain in the rear.

Nevermind, it started working about 12 minutes ago and I forgot to check.

Already at 0.1% wew

New Jambinai or the Haino/O'Rourke/Ambarchi collab

This year's kinda passed me by though. Should probably catch up.

Reviews soon

>Co do you smoke
What do you think you dongle

come plug friends

Hey guys, guess what I'm listening to.

Hint it starts with "A" and ends with "rrayed Above the Seraphim Lights"

Anything but Arrayed Above the Seraphim Lights?

Nice try but you're wrong. I'm actually listening to Arrayed Above the Seraphim Lights. Thanks for playing though.

Reviews inc. They get progressively lazier.

>Weezer - The Other Side of the Good Ol' Fence
Excellent pre-Blue Album demo from Weezer, ripped and uploaded for the first time ever, and posted on Sup Forums yesterday. I'm glad I caught the thread, but I've heard six of these eight tracks before on the more infamous Kitchen Tapes demo.

"Say It Ain't So" doesn't have quite as much punch as on the Blue Album, but is a lot twangier, and the lo-fi edge is nice. The bridge ("LIKE FATHER, STEPFATHER") is almost just as hair-raising as on the album.

"Paperface", woefully absent from the Blue Album and only available in its deluxe editon years later, is my high point of the tape. Rip-roaring, more punk than power pop, but catchy all the same. Cuomo straining his voice, even when whispering one verse (before building to a primal yelp for the chorus), is so freakin' sweet. This sounds like a fully fleshed out track that just got cut from the final album for being too punk or something.

"Undone (Sweater Song)" is infinitely better than its studio counterpart, featuring floating disassociated voices singing the verses, slower tempo, and a much rawer, grittier sound. It's probably the most obviously demo-ish track here though. I love how a freewheeling guitar joins in on some deeply-mixed channel midway through the song.

"Thief, You've Taken All That Was Me" and "My Name is Jonas" build gloriously to noisy finishes and "Thief" very abrutply cuts off, which I kind of like actually.

The more ballad-like songs on here are also great, if comparatively more similar to their studio counterparts. Mostly every song is a highlight, and I may actually enjoy the whole thing more than the Blue Album, believe it or not. I'm really not a fan of "Buddy Holly" so that certainly helps keep things competitive.
>7/10

>American Music Club - Rise EP
More standard country for AMC, but definitely still squarely in alt-country territory. Unremarkable and unmemorable for sure though.
>5/10

>The Last Forty Seconds - Demo
Well because I'm a bit of a aural masochist (or just trolling around for some RYM curve-padding--pick your poison) I decided to finish off the brief discography of The Last Forty Seconds. I couldn't find this release earlier on Soulseek but it just popped up today, so here I am.

Despite my best efforts, I actually enjoyed the demo a lot more than either their studio EP or split single. The songs here are more slightly more melodic, but the guitar sound is crazy massive which kind of compensates in the noise department. Like, they must have had those guitars on so many channels playing so loudly. It's absurd how massive the guitars are. On some tracks it sounds like there are a dozen of them doing all kinds of crap, all equally loud.

The singer this time works much better with the context of the music, so he's not just shouting totally independent of the melody. The singer is also much lower in the mix, so the screamo vocals are much more tolerable. The shrill, pathetic shrieking at the beginning of "Third Time is Never the Charm" is hilariously terrible though.

Or maybe I'm just beginning to get a proper taste for screamo? I certainly hope not, but if this album is any indicator, further testing may be necessary.
>6/10

>Long Fin Killie - 2 EPs
These are a bunch of early works from a band that sounds very disjointed: bangin' punk drumming, no wave noise rock guitars, jazzy horns, chamber strings, emo-level lyrics, krautrock repetitiveness, and all other manners of weirdness abound. The inconsistency can be trying.

I should be loving so called “avant-rock” like this, but I just can't see myself returning. Maybe the songwriting could be improved or something?
>5/10

>Dinosaur Jr. - You're Living All Over Me
Fucking spectacular noise rock. Some tracks are super chill noise rock and proto-90s indie rock, while others (lookin’ at you, “Tar Pit”) evolve into Lovecraftian monstrosities of harsh noise. I cannot get enough of this album.
>8/10 maybe 9/10

>Diiv - Oshin
Dream pop by way of post punk, occasionally tangentially grabbing at shoegaze as it passes. Most of the songs are such bores that songs like "Druun, Pt. 2", "Oshin", "Doused", and "Home" are actually relatively captivating. I guess that's a neat trick. Make a bunch of songs so boring that it’s hard to tell if the good songs are actually good or just good by reference? Whatever works, right?

I jest I jest. It sounds pleasant enough, but still, largely unremarkable. I found myself bored often despite the short track lengths and overall short album length. The last stretch of songs are indeed pretty good though.
>6/10

>The Dismemberment Plan - Emergency & I
Quirky, twitchy, hyperactive pop, punk, and indie rock with smart, if vocally whiny, lyrics. Way too overproduced and pop-punk-sounding for my tastes. It distinctly reminds me of a more grating take on Grandaddy’s shtick. I suppose that’s somewhat fitting, considering P4k swept Grandaddy under the rug to give this best of the 90s, only to sweep this album under the rug to give OK Computer the best album of the 90s title. Why this is so popular, I guess I can see. Why it is so unanimously critically acclaimed, I guess I cannot.
>4/10

And final review for the night...

>Eric Von Schmidt - The Folk Blues of Eric Von Schmidt
Pretty much what the label says on the bottle: bluesy folk music. It’s usually solo guitar with Von Schmidt singing over, but occasionally a bass-sounding instrument joins in the background.

The main selling point is Von Schmidt’s vocal performances, which are mixed way too high(ly?) above the guitar. He can imitate an impressive host of characters, though. He’s literally a walking tape recorder of American folk and blues music. It clearly is imitating that he’s playing at, though, which kind of kills the mood. It feels somewhat forced or hokey, and almost disingenuous, but I suspect he respects the form very much. It’s a pity it really translates poorly on to record.
>4/10

Lookin' to start some shit with the Dismemberment Plan rating possibly. Stave off anger and disappointment for my Long Fin Killie ratings until I listen to Houdini tomorrow though.

You can start shit with me I love that album.

Curious what you disliked though

I like the D Plan but only because I found them when I was a susceptible young p4k drone and can't really replace my feelings for them. Otherwise I agree with you as someone who has it as their 6th most scrobbled album ever: last.fm/user/papasmurph1/library/albums

I'm sure you won't get any hate for it, it's too popular.

Can someone slide a July chart template my way?

>It clearly is imitating that he’s
*imitation

I was wondering why that sentence sounded so weird when revising.

I found this exchange mildly humorous

Yeah I'll try to start some shit. Why not?

Thought the vocals were whiney, the production far too slick, the style very inconsistent. They blow through all manners of pop punk, indie rock, synth pop, cheesy symphonic rock (with some random guitar wailing on a few songs). As such, I feel like they pull together a lot of influences, but fail to do much unique on their own. It could just be a bad case of the influences, and their infamy and influence just got themselves dated, hard. That's always a possibility when you don't know the context. The lyrics were, as I admitted earlier, pretty smart and occasionally uniquely clever, if also occasionally awkward.

I'm just riffing right now though. I need some sleep. I'll give it a relisten tomorrow and see if I can pick out any specific songs or moments that trigger me.

Ooh, rough, I think? ???

Just finished AATSL. Will write my thoughts on it later cause I'm going out.
>I found this exchange mildly humorous
Yay

You honestly don't need a re-listen imo, it's not really something that you'll probably change your opinion on given that.

But I do kind of agree with the mixed influences thing. They're clearly influenced by the DC Punk scene (good!) and at the same time the cliche 90s rap/rock (very bad!) but I guess I'm willing to forgive that stylistic choice.

Also, as you sort of mentioned, the lyrics are great imo. If you revisit anything I would rec reading the lyrics for Back and Forth. They're pretty incredible.

...

talons' - songs for babes
hmmmmm
this is an interesting concept
every song on this album is about someone, but there's a unique interaction with each person
they aren't all love stories, and not all of these stories even seem personal
some good lyrics and storytelling
soft indie folk with some minimal electronics and notes of alt-country (im a sucker for these kinds of albums)
i guess a large complaint of this album is that the songs could have been a lot more developed
sometimes it just feels like not very much is happening on this album and for no reason, like it was unfinished

Even Oxen - Arrayed Above the Seraphim Lights

1/2

Lovely record. Bear, you've definitely improved your skills with this album and it is some fine stuff. I can't say it's a favorite now but I feel like it has the potential to be in the future.

The album opens with "Our Messiah Flying with the Clouds Toward Heaven" which in my opinion is an excellent way to start an album. It reminds me of "Pasture Grazing" (my favorite track from the EP) because of it's juxtaposition of noise and pleasant melodies yet is a pretty different thing altogether. At this point I'm already hooked.

Up next is the track "Luma". This is a very blissful track. It just feels like pure simple happiness. I don't need to say more with this one. It is just absolute joy with God.

Then comes the track "Cherubim". I personally don't like this track that much. It's okay but the songwriting here just really isn't my kind of thing at the moment. The vocals are neat but I don't really like the guitars on this. It's an alright track though.

The next track "Kaiah's Connectant Ville" is an interesting one that incorporates the use of strings which is pretty cool. While again I don't like this track as much as some of the others on the album, it's still neat and helps vary the album more which is good.

Now there's "My, My, My". I think there's decent work here but it's not really my kind of thing honestly. Not much to say here. It's just a personal thing.

Then comes "Your Baileys of Water". This is a very fun track. It reminds me of "Holland, 1945" in a way because of it's upbeat lo-fi guitar playing. Really good stuff.

Suddenly, we're hit with a beast of a track. "The Dragon on the Shore Beside the Sea" is very different from the rest of the tracks (but doesn't feel out of place) cause it's a lot more intense, a lot more noisy and it's a lot longer. The track starts with very pleasant melodies playing which slowly get more quiet. Once that happens, some really REALLY strong noise comes in.

...

As the noise continues, a thing that I've done before as a joke enters the scene. Unlike with me though, here it is done seriously and actually finely executed. That thing is going WILD on a recorder (or at least what sounds like a recorder). It struck me as weird at first but now I feel like it works well with the noise. Insane track.

The album then ends with its title track "Arrayed Above the Seraphim Lights". Good way to end the album. If "Your Baileys of Water" is the "Holland, 1945" of the album, this is the "In The Aeroplane Over the Sea" and not just because its the title track. The way Bear plays the guitar here is kinda similar and the way he sings reminds me a bit of Mangum's voice on the track. Now I'm not saying that Bear is ripping off Neutral Milk Hotel. I'm just saying that Bear takes from his influences well and makes his own good stuff with it. Very good closing track.

Overall, this is a very happy album bar "The Dragon on the Shore Beside the Sea" (which is good for different reasons) and I'm happy I have the pleasure of kinda knowing the guy who made this. I really enjoyed listening to it and will probably listen to it some more in the future. Really good stuff. 4/5.

Good Morning daily!
Today might be better than yesterday, but still not that good.
What should i listen to next ?

Fishmans or Discordance Axis

Fishmans it is
Also read the manga i told you my dude

I'm impressed.

what's some ok stuff to do when you're feeling ok

Though it's not very well written, I'm pleased to say this is the first sincere review I've ever submitted to RYM :D
I will do it this week, lad.
Listen to music.

End yourself while you feel alright so you never have to feel bad again.

"нeт"

>not liking Dinosaur jr

drinking a glass of water should be pretty okay

Joe Harriot and the Amancio D'Silva Quartet - Hum Dono
hey man thas some noice jazz, fucking tasty ass bass guitar, nice drums, smooth instrumentation, what more could you want
I do have a bit of an issue with the tape hiss present on the recording, as it becomes more prominent than I would like it to be, it's a situation whereby you get reminded that you are breathing or blinking and now it's a concentrated effort to do so, so you can't actually ignore the fact that you hear it until you don't anymore

rec any time guise
chasing Thomas, Rudy and now Bojangle

also Consume Red is next, shutup about it

>Consume Red is next
HYPE

I like the fact that he is looking at a bible. Makes you think huh
Cry yourself to ashes. Or cry till you fall asleep. Or maybe play Golf i guess

Thank you so much for reviewing this, man! I'm especially thankful you ended up enjoying it. A huge reason why I feel I improved compared to the EP is because of you guys leaving an influence on me for experimental music so I have a lot to thank you guys for that

Yee the experimental elements of the album were great. Looking forward to your next project, Bear.

>Das Kapital
>a bible
So true.

Is that phil's spectre that I hear so often about?

Haha I'm looking forward to it too, especially considering everything I have to record with at the moment is obsolete. What's next on the review list?

I think a spectre is haunting Europe

Is /daily/ strong enough to get the digits today?

we shall see

...

>especially considering everything I have to record with at the moment is obsolete.
I think you could find a way to put them to good use desu.
>What's next on the review list?
Of /daily/ music or in general? If /daily/ music, I'll probably give hahahahahaha's album a listen next.

...

W-woah

the prophecy

it's true...

no

how does the t-shirt fit?

Oh damn, Bear

It fits very snug. I love it.

Woo hoo I really liked that Big Mess album, especially the more energetic/upbeat tracks. Will be looking out for that review as well.

Yeah I heard it's pretty energetic. If I'm correct it's sorta punky right? I dunno. I'll decide for myself when I listen to it.

...

kpop will get it, sorry

that's good to hear, you looked very happy in the snap you sent me!

...

I fucking know, but it doesn't mean that I can't try

but why do you care so much about repeating digits

that is really 'ok'
2 easy to be very honest with you brother
already did
ew to all three

it's not the fact that they repeat
it's the principle

See
This guy gets it

it's the only thing that makes me happy anymore

repeat deez nuts nerds
