It's time to post memes under the guise of musical discussion!
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.

Model 500 - Classics (1993) >detroit techno
Focuses too much on the electro side of detroit techno that I don't care for too much. Tracks like "The Chase (Smooth Remix)" encapsule this sound and everything I don't like about it, it's kinda enjoyably cheesy at best and downright irritatingly goofy at worst, and it contrasts poorly with the cold, sci-fi aesthetic Atkins goes for on most of this album. There are some bangers on this thing, though. The bass here is constantly great, and the non-remixed tracks are generally concise, to the point, and wonderful, for the most part. The remixes focus a bit too much on the electro sound and they often run for too long, dragging the whole comp down, which is a shame because the purely original tracks are wonderful.

DJ Paul & Lord Infamous - Come With Me 2 Hell Part 2 (1995) >memphis rap, gangsta rap
The best tracks here ("Tear da Club Up (Original)" and "Ridin' n da Chevy Pt. 2") are rendered almost entirely obsolete by the existence of the Underground Vol. 1 comp, and the memphis aesthetic can wear thin on longer tapes, but it's got that dark, demonic, infernal sound that I love so damn much. Both Paul and Infamous are masters of their respective fields. Paul's beats are minimal yet still spooky and ominous to the core, and Infamous has one of the greatest, fastest flows in hip hop history, the heavy use of triplets in his bars is astounding. The features are great as well, the presence of Gangsta Boo on any album is always welcome. Like I said, too long and it's kinda obsolete, but a damn great listen nonetheless.

Perrey-Kingsley - The In Sound From Way Out! (1966) >space age pop, electronic
Is Gershon Kingsley a bad influence on Jean-Jacques Perrey? The cheese here isn't nearly as enjoyable as the cheese on The Amazing New Electronic Pop Sound of..., and I think the problem lies within this album's heavy emphasis on acoustic instruments rather than synthesizers. It never really embraces an acoustic sound or an electronic sound, it's stuck in something of a purgatory. It oftentimes excels in the melodic department, but the little electronic bleeps and bloops and sound effects that make Perrey's solo work so memorable and enjoyable detracts from the songs rather than adding to them, they're just irritating, as sad as it makes me to say that. A cute little album at times, but it's more often than not totally inconsequential and even flat-out irritating.
Still working on some writeups for the better albums but I'll bump with a few quick reviews.
[1/2]
>PJ Harvey - Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea
Pretty much a watered down, mellower version of her earlier albums imo. Nice atmosphere, solid ideas… but doesn’t really go anywhere original. Thom Yorke’s guest spots are pretty solid and work surprisingly well on here too. Fairly enjoyable but I’d rather just listen to a different album.
3.0-/5
>Cyne - Evolution Fight
Hmmm, this is right up my alley. Everything that guarantees I’ll enjoy a hip-hop release is on here honestly. Jazzy beats, solid flows from the MCs and a little bit of philosophical lyricism. The production in particular is awesome, with some of the coolest, jazziest beats I’ve heard in awhile. I loved a couple of the songs in the middle stretch - “Haze”, “Rousseau” and “Automation”. Reminds me a lot of Cunninlynguists, both in the production style and the subject matter. Lyrically, it can get a bit preachy at times (“Growing”, "Arrow Of God"), as they get into some spiritual topics but the beats make up for that and those moments aren't too frequent anyway.
s/o to Jimmy Jazz for this one

>Saba - The Bucket List Project
Really liked Comfortzone and this is really just more of the same - a very mellow and jazzy project with some decent raps. It gets a bit poppy at times but I like how positive Saba stays for a majority of this project. All the beats are upbeat and Saba’s easy-going, sing-songy flow works quite well over them. Some solid features from Twista, Noname and Jean Deaux. The concept is a bit corny - with a lot of rappers providing their “bucket list” between raps - but it isn’t too much of a downside honestly. The world could always use more positivity in music, imo and it’s nice to hear another one of these “happy” Chicago projects. Pretty solid overall.
3.0/5
>The Coup - Genocide & Juice
Pleasantly surprised by this project honestly. Aside from “My Favorite Mutiny”, which my old roommate used to play *all* the time, I’d never heard anything from The Coup. The beats are super funky and provided by a band, which gives them a more organic feel - quite similar to the Roots but with a more west coast flair. The raps are fairly political/socially conscious and often presented in a somewhat lighthearted/joking manner. “Pimps” is a good example of their style - as they add in a little comedy skit where these pompous white yacht club members start impersonating The Coup and call rap “tribal”, etc. It’s a nice mix of parody and social consciousness, which works quite well. Trails off a bit toward the end but I enjoyed this… definitely checking out their follow up, Steal This Album soon.

You must have made a typo, it says 3.0 for Tim Buckley.
Actually, it technically got a 3.0+ lol, which means I did enjoy it a decent amount. Still my least favorite of the Buckley albums though, it doesn't hit me as hard as his later albums.

Where were you when you realised classical music is humanity's second greatest bastion of creativity and pop music will never overcome it?
In all seriousness I've only just "properly" got into classical music and pic related is a list of some of my favourites, are there any recommendations based on these?

“Hipster” is a term co-opted for use as a meaningless pejorative in order to vaguely call someone else’s authenticity into question and, by extension, claim authenticity for yourself.
It serves no conversational function and imparts no information, save for indicating the opinions and preferences of the speaker.
Meanwhile, a market myth has sprung up around the term, as well as a cultural bogeyman consisting of elusive white 20-somethings who wear certain clothes (but no one will agree on what), listen to certain music (no one can agree on this either), and act a certain way (you’ve probably sensed the pattern on your own).
You can’t define what “that kind of behavior or fashion or lifestyle” actually is, nor will you ever be able to. That’s because you don’t use “hipster” to describe an actual group of people, but to describe a fictional stereotype that is an outlet for literally anything that annoys you.
The twist, of course, is that if it weren’t for your own insecurities, nothing that a “hipster” could do or wear would ever affect you emotionally. But you are insecure about your own authenticity - “Do I wear what I wear because I want to? Do I listen to my music because I truly like it? I’m certainly not like those filthy hipsters!” - so you project those feelings.
Suffice it to say, no one self-identifies as a hipster; the term is always applied to an Other, to separate the authentic Us from the inauthentic, “ironic” Them.
tl;dr: if you believe hipsters exist, you are a plebeian.

Check this out if you're into Swedish psych. This is the prototypical Dungen sound. Been reading the My Struggle series by Knausgaard and this music will forever be tied to it in my mind. Also, check out Träd, Gräs och Stenar's Gärdet 12.6.1970 afterwards for some of the headiest no-BS psychedelia outside of the Haight in my opinion.
Lincoln Edwards
essential viewing for people looking into early russian punk rock and post-punk/looking for recs on early russian punk rock and post-punk
Great jazz album. The overall sound changes quite a bit between songs, keeping the album fresh and exciting. The longer tracks occasionally lack direction but this is supplemented with great musicianship. The horns aren't quite as strong as d'Silva's guitar playing, but they still fill the space in the record quite well. The bass and drums are killer and consistently drive the album forward. Definitely makes an effort to be more 'jazz' than 'fusion' which I can appreciate.

Nana Vasconcelos - Saudades >Avant-Folk, Modern Classical, Brazilian Music
This album is certainly unique. Mixing folk, classical, brazilian and chamber music, this oddbal ECM entry is certainly not drawing between the lines in the scope of the label. The instruments, some that I can't identify combine with the classical composition style to create an immersive atmosphere. The pieces progress beautifully, often building on and repeating ideas in a constructive and pleasing way. Despite being mostly long pieces, they never seem to overstay their welcome, even with repeated solo instrumentation, evidenced in the first near-side-spanning track. My only complaint is that the string overlays seem a little too straightforward and don't compliment the music as well as I'd like it to. Fantastic album, though, and a must for fans of genre-blending compositions.
8.5 /10 (likely to be raised in the future)

How's it goin' /daily/? Bumping with a few more reviews.
>Townes Van Zandt - Our Mother The Mountain
Not quite as incredible as his s/t but this dude is clearly an awesome songwriter. Most of the songs on here have the same crushing topics as his s/t but they’re often accompanied by orchestral elements. At times, the strings, etc really add to the atmosphere… but there’s a few moments when it detracts from the mood of this whole thing. I think a more minimalist approach suits his style a lot better. Still very very solid though.
3.5/5
>BB King - Live At The Regal
I can’t honestly think of much to critique on this album. His singing is passionate and the guitar work is just so catchy. The songs are classic blues performed in an electronic set, which works quite well. I guess to a blues traditionalist (which I'm clearly not), this could come off as too glossy but I think it’s a nice middle ground between a classic sound and early rock. Short and sweet, I really enjoyed this listen.
4.0/5
>Low - I Could Live In Hope
This is some pretty soul-crushing shit but man it’s so good. The atmosphere is devastatingly dark, fueled by these slow-burning, lethargic tracks. If you slowed down Galaxie 500 and took out all the fun elements, while keeping the dreamy elements, this is basically what you’d get. I’ve started to enjoy the darker side of shoegaze a bit more recently and this is a great example of what a band can accomplish with this style.
