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. This community is so inclusive that even communists and fascists coexist!

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - Skeleton Tree It good, liked the style changeup towards more spoken-wordy stuff, the fact that the instrumentation takes a back seat on this thing is a big up, not that it is bad instrumentation by any means
The Field - From Here We Go Sublime Great, simple, repetitive electronic music, just the kinda cup of tea I like when it comes to that kind of music
what next kents

He is kinda right you have shit taste and probably wont like it Or were you that one guy that did that one chart with a residents row cause if you were that guy you will like it
Juan Powell
whoo bay, we got a poser here, take aff ye hoser
Eli Powell
>a lot of the french pop I've heard I wouldn't call most of that list French pop though. I think maybe Gainsbourg, but Françoise Hardy or Jacques Dutronc fit that description better. For example, Brassens does pretty austere and calm songs with his guitar accompanied by a bass, whereas Ferré is backed by orchestral arrangements and is very passionate. Dominique and Bashung are more recent and their is kinda rock with other influences. Chanson is really an umbrella term for stuff sung in French, rather than French pop. Also the lyrics are an important part in some, because they're really good. You might wanna look them up for the first three I listed.
Kayden Price
>Aqua - Aquarium oh FUCK yes 3.5- >Brethren - Savage Inequalities it was probably a bad idea to listen to this after aqua, huh. Sonically, this is some beastly power electronics. The texture is great, the lo-fi sound is great, the details are great. I feel conflicted because the subject matter was so grueling and disgusting, but thats the point. This album made me feel uncomfortable like no other album has before, and I don't know if thats a good thing or a bad thing. Songs like Hail AIDS and Cold Slavery kinda saved this project for me, just because the noise was so good on it. Will I ever listen to this again? Outside of those two songs, I don't think I'm bad enough for this album. However, this album did blow my mind and make me audibly say "damn" a few times, so I guess it did the job it was intended to do, huh. 3.5--
>DJ Screw - June 27th I really dig this screw tape. That 37 minute freestyle song is definitely up there with some of his best remixes. Also, only Screw could make a 12 minute shoutout song and it still be enjoyable. 3.5

Cooper Edwards
well, I think this chart is GREAT don't listen to those bullies!!
Listen to more albums with like eight ratings on RYM that way no one can shit on you.
Really? That's cool. I didn't really enjoy Hardy or Gainsbourg's somewhat downbeat "chill" style of french pop, and enjoyed Brel's more in-your-face and passionate approach to it.
Josiah Parker
Alcachofa has exactly one really good song and a bunch of mediocre tracks villalobos forgot to finish
Ive heard 13 :o
Jonathan Morris
i needa update mine soon

>Amnesia Scanner - AS Truth I thought the fusion of UK Bass and Industrial is a really interesting, unique sound I'd like to see expanded on, and I really enjoyed all the unique textures and sounds spliced throughout here, but wasn't super sold on the song format, nor did I think arranging the songs in a continuous order really served the album much. Could definitely see this being someone here's AOTY though, especially if they're more into bleeps than I. 6
Andrew Hernandez
>you mean like Pass the Distance? I cant believe i have to share a general with people like these
I panned zombie ama
Luis Foster
did you pan zombie because you were jealous that it had more than one song to enjoy?
Justin James
It had more than one song but none of them were to enjoy
Unpopular opinion (i think) but most of fela's albums are just the same riffs but with different lyrics and that becomes pretty evident if you listen to more than two albums of his
Now im not saying hes bad just that he has a formula he rarely gets out of

I've heard a whopping 4 of those. When I first saw that Kevin Drumm album cover I thought he was a hip hop artist, never had I been so wrong

>The Coup - Steal This Album Probably one of my new favorite hip hop albums, honestly. If you're someone who finds themselves infatuated with "golden-era" rap then there's really no reason to pass this up. Sure, the skits are kind of dumb and dated, but that's probably the only part of this album I could possibly hate. The production, boom bap beats, and sampling all work so perfectly. The Del feature is also probably one of the best songs I've ever heard him on. It's political and conscious, but doesn't feel like it takes itself super seriously. Would highly rec. 8
>The Chameleons - Strange Times I'm not always huge on post-punk/pop fusions, but these guys to it so flawlessly it's crazy. Their first three albums are all so consistently great it's crazy. This 3-album streak is up there with Can, The Mothers, and TVU for real. But I doubt anyone would really agree with me about that. 8
>CCCP - Affinità yadda yadda yadda Only these guys' first and last albums are any good at all, but damn, what a huge divide. Seriously, the energy and general post-punk vibe here make this an obvious winner. Even if it is kind of same-y throughout, at least what it repeats is pretty incredible. 8
>King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard - Nonagon Infinity & Flying Microtonal Banana Waitaminute, I'm supposed to not like this, right? Sorry, but I kinda do. I really enjoy the guitar tones, the rich, varied, deep instrumentals, and the amount of creative song structures. I could see getting tired of this band if I listened to more of them perhaps, but I really enjoyed the really fast-and-flowing nature of each album, though the latter was a bit more ham-fisted than the former. 7 and 6
1/2
Jeremiah Morgan
This. Have you not heard The Gift?
Ryan Bailey
>Injury Reserve - Floss B A N G S. Seriously, the first five tracks from this album are incredible. Enjoyed much more than Live From the Dentist Office. Unfortunately, after track six this album REALLY dips in quality for me. A good release that makes great use of modern hip-hop cliches and techniques, but it is undeniably top-heavy. 6
>Seaside Lovers - Memories in Beach House Okay I really expected to not like this but it was actually pretty decent. Biggest thing was that it was so 80s it hurt. It was like a vaporwave album played at normal speed. The really calm, lounge-y synths struck a chord with me, but a lot of the production choices otherwise here are super dated. 6
>Windy & Carl - Drawing of Sound All together it forms something very pretty and cohesive, but I'm not sure how I feel about the mix of shoegaze and amibent styles. It's kind of beautiful when playing in the background, but all together it just forms a big, mushy, rainbow-colored mess that pretty much just adds up to long, drawn out pop pieces. I'm excited to see what else these guys have in store, but this wasn't for me. 5
>Why? - Alopecia A lot of extremely catchy and interesting melodies, beats, etc. Everything happening instrumentally really kicks ass. The guy up front though really makes this album 2x as bad for me. I usually don't mind the whiny, emo voice timbre (see my scores for Brave Little Abacus and Snowing) but I feel like this wasn't quite that. His voice was much more low-energy, and switching constantly from a whiny, nasal indie pop voice to a whiny, nasal, rap really got old after a bit. If you really can look past terrible vocalists, I would say you should probably give this a shot, because even though I wasn't huge on this I think it at least deserves a chance. 5
>Meshuggah - Nothing No. 2
What next?
Carter Edwards
why? again until you like yoni
Charles Moore
okay if I'm going to be totally honest I didn't listen to like three songs from Nothing. I'm sorry I just couldn't.
>trans likes it ah that would explain it
Ryan Jones
xddd faggot
Jonathan Kelly
Yeah meshuggah is pretty bad. Their only album I've heard that I could stand was DEI, but even then if you're not a fan of metal it will probably get on your nerves too
Nolan Evans
Hell, I even like a decent amount of prog metal, but djent riffs are too much. They're so bad.
lol
Andrew Stewart
acceptable King Gizz r8s, see them live if you can, they play suites, it's insane

Anthony Martin
Well, on the album cover you cant see whats below the girl so theres no way of knowing if minutemen was written under it or not :o
Brayden Scott
Let me preface this by saying """sorry"""
Minutemen - Double Nickels On the Dime >Punk Rock, Post-Punk
I'm not going to pretend I have experience in listening to punk, but I can see how this album was a milestone for punk. I'd say it's far off from even being called punk rock, besides its obvious impatience in wasting time with a single song. The guitar, drums, and bass don't try to bash you in the face, and do their work behind Mike Watt's speech and miffed sing-speaking. Good thing they do their work decently during the 43 songs, even if the 23rd guitar solo gets tiring
Lyrically, it's expansive but shallow if you dig anymore than surface level. I love albums that feel like an adventure through multiple genres/concepts/narratives, but this album is more of a sandbox of the dozens of ideas these young men had, saying "what if we made a song hinting at __{partially political topic}_____?" It's what makes me think that this album isn't meant to be a cohesive whole, but a big picture of what this framed in America the year it was released. There's another underlying feeling that perhaps I shouldn't listen to this entire album at once.
Another problem for me: not one memorable track. Variety is great, but too much and it cancels out all the unique features of the album with other unique features.
>Time for a fantastic analogy If you decorate an entire house with those scratchy pictures that move when you look at them from different angles, it's cool for a little while but it would get disorienting. But if you sparingly and strategically place them randomly within the house, they are more likely to keep your intrigue in scratchy pictures that move.
I think this entire album is made of 4 houses of scratchy pictures that move, and also swear at you before swearing at themselves when you look at them.
3/10
If this was shorter, I'd definitely give it a higher rating for being less of a chore to go through. Will leave it in my library to see if it grows on me
Tekka hits you like a fuckin brick to the face as an opener, before that brick blossoms into a brick flower in Dsco, a summer day joyride. >Baby let's design new comfort / Spread the towel and bring out the lotion >Girl now let's design each other / Close your eyes until the logic's gone A great one-two opening statement.
Having only heard portions of this album on shuffle, it was a surprise to realize that this album quickly jumps between glitch and shoegaze. It was a bigger surprise that I haven't heard any album similar to this that I can remember aside from The Depreciation Guild. But even TDG don't outright play chiptune alongside their songs, they simply replace their drums and guitars with it. Genre influences vs Genre bridges.
We see more of it when Velocity breaks down techno into lounge music(!!), and Fruitcake & Cookies unveils the strums of an unpowered electric guitar(?) from sounds you'd expect from a noise album. Valerie Reyes' performance is childlike and tender, upholding the image of a naive robot creating sounds "so that I may feel human." Sept surges from midi bongos to organic traditional shoegaze, and Pro :Lov :Ad mirrors it with a robotic interpretation.
VDC does tend to meander and make unforeseen leaps with its song length and structure (International comes to mind), and is equally stubborn with its closures. Yet in the greater context of the album, it makes sense.
The closing three tracks are dreamy as dreamy gets, backing off from the glitchiness to get in some final words. That is, until Design 2: 3 slaps you (much like the opener) and shimmers itself away.
This is definitely going to grow on me, and I'm glad I finally put time aside to listen to it.
8/10
Gavin Mitchell
?you're not getting any special attention there even if i kinda hate you like in general but kkkkkk
Jordan Scott
I don't think it's as good as everyone says it is either, so you've got one person on your side lol
Christian Green
So stop fucking @-ing me. Don't know why you think I care
Jacob Martinez
Yeah, you're right about it being way too long and at least initially fairly unmemorable. I had the exact same problems with it for the longest time.
However, returning to it much later, I've come to really enjoy it. The memorability situation has also been greatly improved
If you want I could go and give you a list of my favorite tracks off the album. I honestly have no idea if this would actually "work", but I could imagine that if you listened to them all individually, you'd agree that most of them are pretty great.
Lucas Lopez
if you don't that's fine too, i still hate you lol
Jack Torres
Honestly can't tell if somebody posing as trans to flame
Parker Gutierrez

>no memorable songs 'no'
Ian Sanders
i remember that track for sounding like some country jam, and at that point I was thinking "Ok what is going on in this album" after Watt's funny monologue on The Big Foist
considering how bleep oriented my taste is im not too hopeful but if you want to list favorites Ill go back to them
Gabriel Adams
good aqua score world's end girlfriend is kinda ass
