A lot of early Residents has that feeling.

To some extent, no other album I can think of gets the feeling across that 666 does. The closest I can think is the Texas Jerusalem Crossroads, but that's an entirely different album.

but this especially

Desertshore and The Marble Index

For definitely this

best mix of math and emo i've yet to hear

So it sounds like math rock and emo

...

...

its surprisingly hard to dispute this, actually, nice pick

I mean it still kind of sounds like PBVSGR and CHz.

Not relevant to topic but good shit, I don't see people post this often

Sounds like something I did in the toilet this morning

to me the problem with this album isn't the sound but some of the songwriting being weak

kek

The only other music that sounds like this is from related bands.

>CHz
nah
>PBVSGR
kind of, but PW is a lot poppier and the beats hit much harder

And I guess Einstürzende Neubauten sometimes used similar sounds and timbre.

No fucking shit you retarded memer. It's unique in its genre(s) though.

People who claims that there are other albums that sounds like this are all wrong.

I really don't get why people say this; it sounds nothing like CHz and only very slightly PBvsGR-esque in a select few parts with heavy Panda Bear influence.
in a few places yes, but I think it's actually pretty consistent overall.

some of the cuts like Golden Gal are painfully mediocre though

it sounds exactly like American Football

...

>

>henry cow
>soad
>mr bungle

while I'm not one of the many who praises the fuck out of Golden Gal, I certainly don't think it's mediocre. if anything on the album is mediocre it'd be certain sections of songs. parts of Bagels in Kiev come to mind (which is very disappointing to me since I really like the main melody of it,) and Hocus Pocus and Summing The Wretch both could be said to fit in that I don't feel they developed enough (though I still like both.)
honestly though, I'm surprised at how many things that I originally thought were mediocre grew on me and now sound pretty great.

None of those bands used home-made instruments as heavily as SGM.
And only the first Idiot Flesh album sounds like the first Mr. Bungle album.
Everything else is just itself.

Almost all concept albums of the residents sound unique:
>Eskimo
>Commercial Album
>The third reich'n roll

You literally picked the wrong Anco album

The album has some seriously weak spots but the highs are pretty high. Floridada as well as Vertical and The Burglars is insanely fun, especially the last part with Panda's soaring background vocals.

Also, SOAD is a mediocre Idiot Flesh/Mr. Bungle clone if anything.

>implying what OP said couldn't be said for multiple anco albums
STGSTV definitely isn't their most unique though imo, PW still beats it in that regard (along with much of their early discography.)
Floridada and especially Vertical were pretty good, but if I had to pick a top three it'd be The Burglars > On Delay >= Lying In The Grass desu
The Burglars is the album's Brothersport

on delay is great as well but yeah the burglars is the goat

PW is closer to CHz than STGSTV is to either Danse or HCTI

Please prove me wrong

Spilling Guts>Vertical>Recycling are top 3
PW doesn't sound like CHz, STGSTV and Danse definitely sound similar though.

I WAS CONCEIVED

I agree, but the only reason I do is because I think Danse is insanely unique and HCtI is fairly unique as well while also being fairly different genre-wise. PW is still very separate from the sound of CHz, and I would say far more unique as well.
But Danse is easily their most unique user
I wish I could

it sounds a bit like tune-yards

Early Kraftwerk

meant

>it sounds nothing like CHz

Spilling Guts could have easily fit on CHz if it was noisier.

STGSTV is literally Pavement on acid, dude.

Danse is also Pavement on acid.

faust did a bad impression of them on So Far

What stupid fuck made that terrible cover? Good choice and great album though.

Huh, I can actually see Spilling Guts fitting like that now that you've pointed it out, but I still wouldn't say the vast majority of the album is similar in any way.
Also you're reminding me that I need to check out Pavement, but from what I remember of what I've heard your description is pretty far off the mark.
any album in particular?

If anybody knows an album that sounds like this, be it by AnCo or not, pls rec
btw Danse Manatee doesn't sound like STGSTV, nor is it anywhere near as good

Danse's peaks are higher than STGSTV's desu

...

>April is 10/10
>Untitled is 10/10
>The yells in Penny Dreadfuls
>The screams in Chocolate Girl
>RUUUUUUN in Alvin Row
STGSTV is my fav album, stop hurting me senpai

...

Second this. Try playing one after the other, it's strangely satisfying

...

...

yeah, but
>the entirety of Lablakely Dress
>the entirety of Meet the Light Child (but especially the animalistic whooping and the layered/looped whispery vocals over a quiet, echoey guitar and a slightly off-key and sluggish synth melody
both beat all of STGSTV desu, though Spirit They've Vanished and April and the Phantom are pretty high up there too.

>Who is Frank Zappa

blur
madness
mindless self indulgence
queen

The producer of TMR.

Pretty much most Cardiacs, honestly, even despite all of the bands that they sounds super alike to

try finding an album that captures the night time driving feeling of this (you cant)

Can't be that original if most of the riffs from it are ripped-off from somewhere else

Danse Manatee has the most accurate Pitchfork score ever

>bringing up pitchfork scores out of nowhere
Way to show your true colors, drone. I'd like to see you try and defend any aspect of this review.

Well fuck, m8. We can't

Point taken with that though

Show me one.

cotton eye joe
eiffel 65's "blue"
nah, it's pretty spotty but had they done it consistently right like the best stuff on it it'd easily be one of the best collections of recorded sound of all time desu

thank you, absolutely loving this album

...

...

i was just saying that the score for Danse Manatee is 100% accurate for once. come @ me

no, CRAZY FROG CRAZY HITS IS THE WORLDS GREATEST ALBUM PROVE ME WRONG

it literally goes on and on

There's lots of rip-offs from the album Relayer - Yes too

>any album in particular?
listen to whokill and nikki nack
specifically nikki nack, it's most similar to PW

...

Maybe if you're a pleb.

Is there anymore?

>using the pleb meme as a serious argument
maybe it's because it's a mess that doesn't amount to anything more than the sum of its parts. Anco weren't going in the direction of full-on noise or anything, they clearly wanted to create an album that would evoke the playfulness and magic of childhood, but instead they just sound like children themselves. STG and HCTI take the general idea of Danse and actually does something good with it

I can kinda see what you're saying, but I think it's only somewhat similar at its closest. It's like a less synthetic, more african-influenced take on what PW did.
Really enjoying what I'm hearing though, so thanks for mentioning it.

>Diamanda Galas - The Litanies of Satan

This. 10/10 album right here

Somehow fun and sorta whimsical but dark and unsettling at the same time. A very liberating experience

Is this the new long season?

In some ways though it does make me appreciate the album even more, it's impressive that he can write these songs that branch off of so many others

I will say they at least incorporate their influences tastefully

But I wouldn't call them "original" or "sounding like nothing else ever made"

...

It's not nearly on the level that Not Available is, but it fits the bill.

...

Fair enough, but I'd still say that what they did is still pretty original
Either way though that album, while it is great, is not as great as their material from the 80s. Not to say they are a "perfect" band or whatever but they have some of my all time favorite music without a doubt, all of which comes from that period.
Fucking Sup Forums doesn't even remember before when they were actually not hate-memed into oblivion

...

that's my favorite album of theirs, but honestly it's not close to being one of their most unique albums imo
still pretty unique though

Sounds like Stereolab, which sounds like Pram, which sounds like at least three female-fronted post-punk bands.

What album is this

...

Sun City Girls style freak folk mixed with Beach Boys vocals.

>but from what I remember of what I've heard your description is pretty far off the mark.

Pavement was a massive influence on Avey, and he was in a Pavement ripoff band with Geologist and Deak in high school (which is when he wrote Penny Dreadfuls, the most transparently Pavement influenced song).

Alan Vega's singing is very clearly based on rockabilly singers like Elvis.

...

I think Ike Yard sound kinda similar
