Brandon Ortiz
Golden Pawn - This Lake Is a Misty Mirror (2013) >drone, ambient
Fairly middling and predictable Bandcamp drone up until the last track, which is a really interesting and comfy droney psych folk track, lots of nice textures and neat instrumentation. Since this track takes up the whole entire B-side of the tape, I couldn't give this too low of a score, but the whole entire A-side just really is not all too enjoyable to listen to, very generic ambient that just sounds like someone dicking around with reverb and paulstretching in Audacity. Decent enough, but just boring and done better by about 8,000 other artists. But that last track, amazing stuff.
2.5-

Elijah Bennett
alright while people are still hunting for images, i'm gonna give a summary of what the tourney is. i did something like this before, but dropped out of it because i'm a /cuckboy/. it's going to be a team based tourney, with 6 people on each team. there's going to be a challenge each round. each person in the teams will contribute a release that fit's the challenge's criteria. the team with the lowest overall score has two lowest scoring people in their team for that round eliminated, the team with the second lowest score loses one person, and the winning team gets an advantage that will vary from round to round. repeat until there is one winner.
Ethan Myers
When I was in high school Fall Out Boy were annoying emo bullshit to me. I just listened to Folie A Deux though and I actually really like it.
I still hate the rest of their work prior to it but I'm impressed. It sound much more mature than things like "Dance Dance" but still within the confines of their style.
Anybody here have thoughts on them, the album or other bands who have impressed you unexpectedly?
Jason Allen
Oh boy. This'll be interesting.
Aaron Rogers
fuggen fite me coont
Jordan Nelson
I will make you proud*, senpai.

this me btw
Alexander Jackson
I'll always have a soft spot for songs like carpal tunnel of love and Sugar. Will never crazy over them but they weren't absolutely terrible or anything
their early stuff is a /biiiiit/ of a guilty pleasure for me, certainly some of the better stuff from that scene, but their more recent stuff is just fucking horrendous.
sounds hype
Isaiah White
sorry my brain is shutting down so just couple o'words
Brian Eno - David Byrne - My Life In The Bush Of Ghosts Ok I just love arab stuff a lot, so this was instantly for me. I like both Byrne and Eno, and they made some real beauty here. Absolutely glad I checked this out. Not much more to say.
Paula Temple - Colonized
This kind of techno is something I listened to A LOT and will never get tired of listening to. Will wait for similar recs to come my way.
Jonathan Morales
What would you deem to be early/recent?
Matthew Cook
early as in like From Under the Cork Tree, i've always had a soft spot for some of the songs from that, "Sugar, We're Goin Down" is a pretty solid song. but those recent tracks like "My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark" and "Centuries" that i keep fucking hearing on the radio are dreadful.
Camden Roberts
this'll also be my pic for our chart and you need a romantic record? will a breakup album do?
Daniel Thomas
Me
Good digits
Hudson Carter
So what team am I in?
Elijah Cooper
i'll announce it when i have everybody. added still need a pic bruv
Nathan Evans
I missed that Tom Waits album and have to go back to it later and I have a fourth of July party in ~6 hours but I'm gonna bowl through Bruce Springsteen, who I had never listened to before, all the way through Born In The USA in those 6 hours, currently on The E Street Shuffle
how does /daily/ feel about him? i admit i'm enjoying myself a lot so far
you should consider listening to their first album, it's almost just straight emo, no pop/thirdwave bullshit, if that's your thing
Jonathan Russell
I keep forgetting, did you ever wind up droning me after I won that huge tourney?
Caleb Nguyen
Will do, chief. Thanks.
Benjamin Morgan
yep. all of your albums were pretty meh.
Bentley Barnes
yo you don't happen to have spotify do you? I've made a tracklist, but it's classical stuff and finding specific recordings is pesky, but easy on spotify and I could just make a playlist (less cool obviously) If you don't, I'll manage to find stuff and mega it to you, but it may take slightly longer.
Jayden Hernandez
Oh O-ok
What even did I rec you? Was there a chart?
Daniel Clark
ah yeah that album is far and away my favorite by them
im was thinking, how much does the internet have to do with the fact that bands of their ilk are even looked down upon? what if it wasnt around for them? i mean, sites like this one developed a terrible reactionary culture, or maybe pitchfork before it became billboard a couple years ago but idk? like im just looking at rym, comparing their ratings to those of like, Styx, Kiss, AC/DC, etc that all have pretty decent averages but they're the same kinda timely bread and butter, what if the then-would-have-been of metal kids and Sup Forums kids got to shit memes on them at the time? is it just the zeitgeist? idg how zeitgeist even fucking works
are they actually worse? no way in hell.
what im saying is there was literally nothing wrong with emo pop and scenecore, nor nu metal, at least not _that_ wrong and also that my perception of critical reception is skewed by mostly remaining comfortably seated in the Sup Forums bubble for, well, Sup Forums stuff, or rym, same fucking thing, it's just the demographic they cater to
>and you need a romantic record? will a breakup album do? Apparently it is about RYM tags, which is stupid if you ask me, but rules are rules
Jaxson Howard
you recd me 6 things. i think i gave all of them between a 6 and a 5.
Jack Hughes
Well, I wasn't a big Internet user in high school (ten years ago now) but to me it was the aesthetic that ruined them. I know how how stupid that sounds for an aural medium but they didn't endear themselves to me like other bands did and they seemed to stand out more than the rest so I think I focused more of my attention on them. For the sake of not being closed-minded I should probably give them another shot, but I feel that they'd just remind me of times I'd rather forget.
James Reed
Wow that's pretty amazing, our taste usually isn't far off
Nathan Gutierrez
here's a pic
time to rig this tourney
Shoji Aketagawa, Kan Mikami & Toshiaki Ishizuka - Daikanjyo
You should have droned me ;_;
btw did you ever end up listening to more John Maus albums? 0:
Jaxson Nguyen
yeah it's weird. i guess i'm just not that into indie pop and drone metal.
Asher Rogers
not yet, but i'm planning on it. added.
Brayden Bailey
Only if you'll have me
Luke Green
...
Sebastian Phillips
alright last one before bed
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds = Let Love In somewhat average to bad first half that is absolutely well and truly redeemed by it's second half could not give a care in the world about the first couple of tracks (bar Nobody's Baby Now, which is a banger), but the second half is soooo fucking good (even the Do you Love Me reprise, where the track was awful the first time round it gains something by being played at a crawlspeed, the vocal phrase just before the chorus and including the chorus is still a bit dodge though).
Yo La Tengo - And then Nothing Turned Itself Inside Out Fucking serene m8, really satisfying ambient pop, not much else to say, I fucking loved it songwriting is good, lyrics have the perfect amount of feels and the guitar tone isn't saturated in reverb or distortion, it does what I like and it does it very well
Josiah Harris
and full! will compile image in a sec.
Carson Long
i know im focusing too much on one factor and ignoring the fact that rym also has a considerable amount of dads
on that note i always found BVB's aesthetic cool as fuck even if im not big on their music
Ryan Sanders
what did I rec you? i'm thinking it was sondre, jessica pratt, insect warfare, sunn?
Isaiah Butler
wow you went through this preeeeeetty fast.
why do people want me to do work :( (I think I came up with a p cool idea though, have no idea how it'll work out until I make the thingy)
Joshua Thompson
that sounds about right. destroyer was in there as well.
Christian Parker
how can you plan an entire month? I'd really like to do that but my interests tend to vary and most of the time albums stay in my "complete" qeue for weeks before I listen to them.
Lucas Roberts
yeah tbhonest it's already failed for the past two days so i'm probably gonna scrap it and make a chart i committed to making the calendar from scratch so i didn't want to have the time go to waste, and that was how everyone did it two years ago and it worked alright but i think the chart system is probably better
alas
Ethan Gutierrez
well, if I ever get to mass rec you again, i'll diversify better
Carter Martinez
>mass rec
Thomas Brooks
per the suggestion of a random user a couple weeks ago, I wanna drone 2 of you fucks once more when I'm done with the RYM lists chart.
the first two trips to respond with their rym will get 25 or so of their highly rated albums droned
also no one I've droned before, so no Dogwander, Talking Cat Bob, Sn, s, Torts, or Terminus.
