The point of these threads, is to encourage people to look for new and interesting music. We do this by listening to, and ideally discussing albums we've never heard before. Many of us already listen to new music daily, these people are in it to venture "out of their comfort zone" by listening to albums they otherwise wouldn't have, or just to have a good time.

Gavin Watson
well, half of the record is not available on my country on yt, so there's that maybe after christian scott yeah i've heard all their stuff if you want to get into them bc of the grindcore, the most straightfordward grind one is torture garden, which is a combination of the shorter tracks from the s/t and grand guignol s/t has longer tracks and more jazz elements so I figure it'll be less up your alley, grand guignol has some chamber music / dark ambient elements before the grind parts kick in, absinthe and heretic are kinda weak, radio is better but still far from favorite leng tch'e you migh also like, that one is somewhat close to metal and it's an intense 40 minute track thought it wasn't a serious rec since you said 'in all seriousness' after that post
that was blanket who said in all seriousness im serious about wooten

i take my rec back, if i can. gimme a sec.

i'll try torture garden, thanks buddy

Funny and cute, but a little thicc. Also a conservative and into good music (abit on the indie-chick side, but she's into more experimental stuff too). Unfortunately of Indian heritage, but she's a female so she probably smells alright. Worth checking out.

Blue Orchids - The Greatest Hit (Money Mountain) (1982) >post-punk, neo-psychedelia
The Fall with more keyboards and neo-psych elements, basically. It's produced terribly, is has that tinny, thin sound so many post-punk records from this time period were plagued with. Bramah also isn't half the vocalist Mark E. Smith is. He's okay, but just generic and bland. The songs are very nice though, energetic and psychedelic with some great melodies, and the general sound is nice, the keyboards and the psychedelic textures are a nice addition. Really enjoyable little post-punk footnote.
Spotty as hell, Half of this is some of the best, most pulsing disco I've ever heard, and the other half is cheesy beyond belief and just not fun to listen to. Conveniently, there's a very obvious divide in quality between the first and the second halves. The first half is catchy as hell, very Kraftwerk/YMO-esque, with a lot of catchy synth hooks and driving backbeats. The second half takes on a more atmospheric, Art of Noise-esque sound, at it's done poorly. Some nice soundscaping here and there but overall far too tedious. Decent album altogether.
Alright, when you're wrong, don't double down. Just makes you look worse, tbqh.

burning witch is great doom metal. anyone who thinks drone doom a la Sunn is boring nonsense should try this. great vocals and thunderous drums beautifully adorn a pre-sunn SOMA's huge riffs. recommended to fans of Boris, Sleep, Sunn and Earth.
what next?
Benjamin White
Posting for the first time in the /daily/ thread. Figured I'd make a trip and ask people to rec me things. I listen to a lot of different things, so if you just tell me your fave album as of late, I'll probably be willing to listen to it. I'm in college, and this year I'm only going part time. I'm looking to make and listen to as much music as humanly possible within that time.
It's fine if you have fun, I'm just pointing out you look fucking stupid in your way of having fun.

>The D.O.C - No One Can do It Better
For an '80s MC, D.O.C is awesome. He's got a super tight flow and really solid lyrics, especially for the time. I think this could've easily been like a 9 if the production wasn't so damn inconsistent.
Beats like "The Formula", "The Grand Finale" and "It's Funky Enough" are so damn good, boasting that classic west coast g-funk sound. However, this album has a handful of my least favorite 80s tropes, most notably guitar-driven beats. We don't need a guitar solo in the middle of a hip-hop song, it absolutely ruins the vibe. There's a reason essentially no one uses rock samples so obviously in hip-hop anymore. I hate that style, even though it's such an instrumental part of the genre's foundation.
If anything, it feels influential and proves that DOC is a hell of an MC. And for the time, it's a pretty damn good release. If only he hadn't gotten in that accident and fucked his vocal chords, maybe he'd have an album I'd like more.
Where to next guys?

Encenathrakh >really fucking fast brutal death metal/deathgrind some remarkably good brutal death (think cannibal corpse and the like) with breakcore-fast drumming. I mean, this drumming is seriously fucking fast. it's insane. it's an intense assault from start to finish, and I thought it was tremendous fun. it's worth mentioning that, according to their bandcamp, this album is set to release on september 11, 2037. the buy now price is $701.26. I want it, someone want to float me the ca$$$$h?!?!?! recommended to fans of Full of Hell, Cannibal Corpse, Abominable Putridity, Nails.

y'ever gone into an album totally convinced you're gonna hate it and you actually end up digging it?
Teenage Fanclub - Bandwagonesque (1991) >power pop, jangle pop
Power pop can be a tricky genre to master. When a band gets it down, like Big Star, they fucking get it down, and pump out some of the most tuneful and just downright pleasant pop music under the sun. Sadly, most bands just retread the same sound over and over again, making the whole genre just seem stale and uninspired. Bandwagonesque is shocking for a modern(ish) power pop record, because it's wholly unique. The guitar work on this album is it's major selling point, and it's major unique characteristic. It's ultra-fuzzy, even bordering on completely noisy at times, and it gives all of the songs a really great kick, even when the melody of the song might not be all too great. But therein lies a decent-sized problem this album has, the guitar just drowns everything out. Vocals are pushed entirely to the back, melodies are obscured, but sometimes it doesn't even matter because those guitar licks are just so damn tasty. Has it's problems, definitely, but modern power pop doesn't get better than this.
3.0+

that's the old one oops

Wew, haven't written a multi-post review in forever. I feel like dog with his jandek reviews. Thanks to drop for the great rec btw.
>Cindy Lee - Act of Tenderness Distilled, this album is dream pop and noise pop. That’s what it is. It’s well genre-categorized. But—it really doesn’t dare even toe any of the typical conventions and tropes of the genres—successfully capitalizing on the implied creative freedom in the genre names, it’s its own weird beast.
The album opens with what sounds like the orchestral soundtrack to some original Disney animated picture’s title card scene, run through the lo-fi compressor à la An Empty Bliss Beyond This World—an eerie, haunting, and appropriately atmosphere-establishing track.
“Power and Passion” is a cathartic but dreary, almost purgatorial track featuring soft crooning, a faint backing chorus, and tentative rhythmic guitar and bass plucking. This successfully facilitates a shift into the more stock dream pop affair of “What I Need” which is more like a noise pop track slowed way the hell down, all lumbering. “New Romance” develops a crazed at-odds-with-itself style, mashing together soft dream pop vocals and only slightly subdued harsh noise. It sounds a lot like Twin Infinitives, and is perhaps (it certainly sounds like) an accomplishment in the same vein as the theory that Twin Infinitives was created by separating the instruments from their sound effects. This off-kilter style is repeated on “Miracle of the Rose” and “A New Love is Believing.”
>cont.
Adrian Lopez
>in part 2
“Last Train’s Come and Gone” is a heartfelt little waltz that lazily drifts into a soft but discordant noisy finish. After this track, I feel like the album loses its purpose a bit. The tracks up until now sounded so clearly like they were building to some climax, but “Operation” is a lazy half-“Stand By Me” melodied track, and “Quit Doing Me Wrong” is completed deconstructed, “Fallen Angel” retreads the footsteps of “Last Train’s Come and Gone.” “Bonsai Garden,” the harshest noise track here, ought to be that climax, but it never develops, just aimlessly echoes about.
“Wandering and Solitude” is a beautiful waltz of a track, and is one of the more beautiful and potent on the back half. Imo, it should have been the closer, but “A New Love is Believing” ends the album on a bit of a whimper.
All things considered, I had a lot of fun with this album, even if the back half is relatively pretty disappointing. The first half is just so damn good. It's cool that this came out last year, so I can hopefully look forward to more developed and consistent future releases by the band. >7/10
Morrissey is a fantastic songwriter, I can just never get into his general sound aesthetic
Leo Gonzalez
very nice review, co!!! I have this on my backlog so i'm excited more now
Luke Jenkins
>The Dentists - Some People Are on the Pitch They Think It's All Over It Is Now! This album is apparently named after, and introduced by a brief clip of a famous line from a BBC radio commentator for the 1966 FIFA World Cup Final where he excitedly exclaims, you could guess, “Some people are on the pitch! They think it’s all over! It is now, it's four!” just as England scores at the last possible second of extra time to cinch the title. The inclusion and emphasis of this bite should tell you two a few things about this band: 1. they’re very British, 2. they’re a bit obsessed by the 60s, 3. by starting an album off with an odd noisy sound bite, they’re proven themselves at least vaguely experimental.
And it’s all true. This is a fun jangle pop album from 1985 with an intense ear for 60s sounds, whether garage rock or psychedelic pop—they incorporate both handily. Track after amazing track, they keep a tight ship and consistent theme, but change up the style just enough to keep it interesting. The guitar playing and (even more so) the bass playing as simply amazing, and occasionally even remind me of Television, slightly angular, consummately professional, and constantly entertaining. Only difference is these guys are much more upbeat, and on much faster tempos. The first track, treading in Smiths territory—a common pitfall for many a jangle pop album—admittedly had me pretty worried, but the catchy songwriting carries on without the Smiths influences on every subsequent track.
I’m actually surprised this album isn’t better known, between the absolutely killer instrumental performances and quirky style. Maybe it’s because it’s so anachronistic? I know other neo-psychedelia albums from the 80s totally failed to gain historical purchase, but a lot of jangle pop has done fairly well for itself. Maybe because it gets a bit monotonous after a while of similar-sounding songs? Ah well. Who knows. It’s great. >7 or 8/10
Andrew Gomez
Still trying not to flood the thread with reviews, so even though I have another lined up, I'll stop here for now.
But I'm satisfied with how these reviews came out, even though I think I was leaning too much on simple song-describing in the Cindy Lee review. They're both relatively long. Had to cut the Dentists' one back a bit too.
Thank, it's certainly drop-core, would rec
Jason Wood
appreciate it >late at night when you're sleepy yeh, i thought the same when i heard a track from it in plug a while back. good stuff
huh, glad you pointed it out but strange that i didn't notice the similarities with some of the tracks and rtx sooner. i'm definitely with you there about how "wandering and solitude" should be the final track. kinda disappointed you couldn't into "operation" that much. i feel it develops p nicely around the repetitive and catchy melody. the lyrics on that one hit home for me as well.
>back half is relatively pretty disappointing a grower desu i felt the same way at first. imo the climax would be the miracle of the rose, chills when that track comes in. i get a lil bit of a dead c vibe from it. but anyways, i'm happy to see that you enjoyed it, i also have my eyes open for future releases or nearby live performances from them as well.

G'night, daily. Stealing smurm's gondola
Yeah all my favorite songs right now are on the front half. But maybe you're right, repeated listens may (and usually do) reveal more to like in the songs on the back half. I'll listen for the lyrics on Operation next time. The melody really is just a stunted chunk of Stand By Me tho, which kind of kills it for me
