I only like "We Share Our Mother's Health" from that album.
Not because all the other tracks on it are bad or anything, i'm just too much of a pleb to truly appreciate The Knife past a bunch of key tracks in theid discography.
Luis Gutierrez
You don't even like the title track?
Isaac Nelson
I really liked pic related when I first listened to it. After paying more attention to the lyrics and composition, and reading about Michael Angelekos' struggles with mental illness I appreciated it a lot more. I'd consider it one of my favorite synthpop albums now
Silent Shout is probably the only modern synthpop album I'd call "Great" just because its such a leap ahead artistically from anything else in the genre, besides maybe shaking the habitual. I'd put it up there with Power, Corruption and Lies and The Man Machine
Thomas Powell

Brandon Ross
My nigga
Andrew Long
this was such a good album and like a gateway for me to darkwave. shame its not really discussed
Andrew Baker
got really into TR/ST with Joyland, but couldn't get into this album for the longest time. it finally clicked and it really is great
Brayden Bell
...
Samuel Baker
will have to give it a listen, thx user
Kind of in the same vein as TR/ST, I really enjoyed pic related. Austras pretty good too
Carson Myers
What else sounds like this? This is the only synthpop album I can get into
Jason Wright
I'm quite positive that no one likes this album as much as I do, but it's so fucking great.
Bankrupt! by Phoenix.
David Cox
I really liked it when it came out but don't listen much for no reason
Christian Peterson
why does all the music here sound like it was made by some tone deaf faggot who decided it was time to release his album after only using fruity loops for one month? is this like some ironic genre?
Blake Sullivan
...
Nathan Roberts
idk why does your reply sound like it was made by some actual deaf faggot who decided it was time to reply after listening to 2 seconds of anything mentioned in this thread? is this like some ironic reply?
Lucas Richardson
>Bankrupt! by Phoenix.
I was going to buy this back in 2013 without having heard it because I liked the cover. I still haven't actually heard it.
Joseph Fisher
It's never too late to listen to it!
it's fantastic!
Angel Young
My favourite album of all time. so happy to finally see it pop up. Me and my gf also have pic related as a tattoo. We cried real tears when they called it a day.
Alexander Ramirez
memes aside
Henry Thomas
...
Levi King
Can this be considered synthpop in some ways? genuinely in doubt
Dominic Hernandez
Downloaded it, gonna give it a listen this evening!
Henry Gutierrez
I feel like this isn't synth pop but some songs are certainly pop influenced and there are synths
Christian Reed
At least they went out with a modern classic
Christian Cruz
nah
Jayden Moore
Someone give me more shit like this and grimes
Jordan Richardson

Joseph Nguyen
STH was the most beautiful and painful good-bye
Jordan Murphy
>ladytron not posted
plebs.
Anthony Johnson
>posting shoegaze Ladytron
Dominic Brown
>shoegaze
did you really listen to that album? only high rise, sugar, whitelightgenerator and maybe weekend are electro-shoegaze.
btw 604 > light & magic.
Landon Cook
You forgot Destroy Everything You Touch but yeah, even if you count only those both 604 and Light and Magic are a lot more synthpop than Witching Hour. I don't remember a lot from Velocifero but I think it's more synth-in clined as well.
Easton Garcia
I despise synthpop, but where's Kraftwerk? This is just sad.
Juan Evans
>You forgot Destroy Everything You Touch
destroy is synthpop, not shoegaze: youtube.com
>both 604 and Light and Magic are a lot more synthpop than Witching Hour
they are.
>I don't remember a lot from Velocifero but I think it's more synth-in clined as well.
velocifero has plenty of synths. however, it's not pure synthpop.

Finally. Someone with taste.
William Jenkins
no grimes yet?! wtf is wrong with you, Sup Forums? it's like you don't like her anymore.
William Cook
lol heck no
Christian Rogers
thread is for great albums not bad albums
Kevin Price
She's got great art direction and her videos are eyecandy, but music has been really bland and unremarkable lately. Her aforementioned fellow countrymen blow her out of the water completely.
Jace White
Not even the track 'Silent Shout'?
>i'm just too much of a pleb to truly appreciate The Knife
Well, I guess knowing is the first step?
Andrew Richardson
>not bad albums
ok, i'll take the bait. visions is a great album. more exactly, a masterpiece. i'm not the only oen with this opinion.
Michael Bailey

Jaxon Evans
10/10 right here, this is up there with the greats.
This too.
You might dig Crystal Castles' III, S U R V I V E's s/t, Lust For Youth, this and Zola Jesus.
Nolan Bennett
I actually really loved this album
Brayden Martin
Also, their live shows were some borderline occult shit (as much as it gets for vaguely synthpop collective at this point ofc)

Hunter Evans
vaporwave is 100% synthwave. how music is composed or if it includes sampling has NO RELATION to the genre of music that it exists in.
Michael Evans
>but music has been really bland and unremarkable lately
What are you talking about? Blue? Blue wasn't as good as Kin but it was still a solid synthpop album.
The online concert they did in 2012 was amazing. And personally I find iamamiwhoami much more consistent and pleasing to the ear than The Knife. Their brand of experimentation is much more subtle and less histrionic.

Daniel Rodriguez
>tfw nooone will ever use lyrics like Megan's
are they even making music still?
Juan Scott
One of my absolute favorite summer albums. Why was their follow up so awful? Oh well...
Noah Taylor

I mean no kraftwerk either, it's kinda daft

Parker Long

Jose Cook
Funny thing is if Kraftwerk were posted they would be hailed as "entry level". There's no way to win with Sup Forums.
Ethan Hill
Fantastic
Evan Williams
[spoiler]nice choose. i like the less i know the better[/spoiler]
Ian Flores
Thanks, bud
Juan Carter

This album is the most dreamy synth pop i've ever heard, and i've never seen it posted on here.
Sebastian Fisher
It's not great
Brandon Adams
Who cares if it's entry level? Trans Europe Express is one of the best and most important albums of all time, it's a work of genius
Anthony Young
Yeah I'm not shitting on them I actually love Kraftwerk dearly since it was one of the first bands I actually cared about to search and listen to their whole discog.

Also, their synth guy, Loke Rahbek, is better known under the alias of Croatian Amor. He runs a lable called Posh Isolation, which is very much worth to check out if you're into melancholic ambient-ish electronics. Don't know how well known this label is on this board but you get the idea.
