There are people on this board RIGHT NOW who think Spiderland is better than this

There are people on this board RIGHT NOW who think Spiderland is better than this

Because it is

Not really comparable outside of the genre tag thats slapped on 2BH

idk...I've had phases of enjoying both more than the other.

Because pitchfork?

wtf i love spiderland now

Laughing Stock is the pinnacle of post-rock.

Post rock wasn't even a thing when this album was made. This album isn't consciously post rock in any way.

lol

Get out of here prescriptivist scum

What if I think that this is better than both?

Post-rock wasn't acknowledged as a "thing" by bullshit music writers*

"Post-rock" dates back to the 60s.

I don't know why you would compare these albums in the first place, but yes Spiderland is better. Good Morning Captain is probably the best song of the 90's.

>comparing albums that came from polar opposite points of inspiration

more like pineapple

Childhood is idealizing Slint.
Adulthood is realizing Talk Talk makes more sense.

I actually hate that album and think Spiderland is overrated

you're a fucking waste. Talk Talk is bullshit designed to sell records while Slint wasn't dictated by their label. Slint's sound doesn't take root in a team of producers and or record agents trying make a quick coin. The goal of Talk Talk, as a whole, was to make hits. The goal of Slint was to be the Nosferatu Man.
And to clarify, Talk Talk isn't bad. They're just not comparable to Slint.

Laughing Stock is significantly better than Spiderland. I don't understand how anyone can disagree with this.

Mediocre bait.

idk
there's a grimes general on the first page of Sup Forums that has almost reached bump limit so

hope this is bait. for anyone reading who doesn't know talk talk gave a big fuck you to their label and locked themselves away for ages to record laughing stock on their own terms

Did Steve Albini review any of Talk Talk's work?

who cares he's a fucking hack
shellac is ok though
