Psychocandy

Why is this album so underrated?

Nobody talks about this gem which was arguably responsible for kicking off the white noise/vacuum cleaner sound, later perfected by MBV in Loveless.

Even their next album's pretty great despite changing genres.

One of my favorite albums ever, serious consideration for all time favorite

I just can't hear it, I like the album some but I've always struggled to understand the massive amounts of praise it gets...it's just way too clean and polished for me

no. Darklands is underrated

same
try Taste Of Cindy and the other Loveless like songs first, then move on to the rest

Darklands is a pretty great classic rock-ish album that had a few(3) charting singles back in the day, but Psychocandy has more lasting appeal.

bump?

This. It's also a better album.

its overrated. really not that good at all.

There are only two types of songs on Psychocandy: Just Like Honey and The Living End.

Uhhhhh taste the floor?

Never got into this one, I love noisy music and pop music so this should be a solid 10 for me, but the noise seems very superficial and running parallel to the music rather than in conjunction with it. Plus the '80s production (not like the slick pop sound, the weird cavernous reverby mess like the cure's Pornography) doesn't help it either.
And before anyone suggests the age of it excuses it, White Light/White Heat married noise and pop together brilliantly and that was 1968

That's not Honey's Dead

Better question:
Why is this so underrated?

overrated as shit

it's mediocre pop rock with a layer of noise, that's all

because a lacking sense of history and hideously bad taste is what comprises 99% of the music listeners

ps automatic is their best

this
i guess it was influential or whatever but bands that came after did it SO much better that JAMC is irrelevant

I can't get into it no matter how hard I try desu

t.18 yr old that fell for the mbv meme

mbv is 100 times better than JAMC

i thought they were black not white and asian

>meme boody valentine
>better than anything
music for soft lads

james reid is super cute in that head on music video

The Jesus and Mary Chain is about 10 times whinier and softer than MBV though

right

ew

Blacks had white skin back then

its pretty shit
darklands is so much better

i think both are mediocre.
