ITT: Poorly/Vaguely describe a band's discography, and others try to guess who they are. Again

>synth-rock... thing
>MY EARS
>you know, that one song
>"i hate myself and everything else"
>a little more normal...ish.
>i kind of foreshadowed this on a song two albums ago
>background music
>i sound sloppier sober than when i was drunk
>i'm calming down, i think
>lol no back to form also kind-of-shoegaze-but-not-really

Bjork!

Yeah that was probably too easy. Let me try again.

>Meh debut
>I'm trans
>I have horrendous depression and made the best album of my career
>Last album

>Lol JK I make shitty electronic pop now

Nin

>socialist guns n roses
>socialist bon jovi
>i hate myself and want to die
>where's our lyricist? ah well let's make britpop
>let's do it again
>let's get our harder edge back a bit
>synths
>straight pop rock
>we've not found our lyricist, so he's probably dead, but here's some more of his lyrics
>more straight pop rock
>acoustic guitars
>europe

Yep! Might've been a little too easy, lemme try again. This is a little tougher, and less to do with the albums' sounds or themes. You'll see.

>enema

Blur!

>garage rock
>hard rock with sax
>hard rock with bad production
>bad reunion album
>slightly better reunion album

Hard rock with sax makes me think Morphine, for some reason. I'm probably incredibly wrong. Granted I've only heard Cure For Pain, so I don't know if the other albums match your descriptions.

>Shit talks all their albums except for one of their worst ones.

Neat.

>pop punk totally sucks
>emotional masterpiece
>LSD: the album
>my band's album, but released as a solo album

>ween song is the best song here

Devin Townshend?

easy one

>weird goddamn music based on some weird fucking musical theory with a clusterfuck of pianos and horns and homemade recording techniques
>a progression of the first album but more focused and with a concept, arguably their best, wasn't released for a few years after recording so technically their fifth album
>"hey let's cover a bunch of different pop song melodies and rearrange them on top of each other and make an unrecognizable amazing disaster"
>some cool concise stuff that's just as weird as everything else but a continued progression of their songwriting, with a cool extended series of tracks at the end
>shorter, pop structured songs that are just as deranged as everything else that they've done
>super focused concept album with a bunch of soundscapes and sound effects that is super chilly
>a ton of stiff, stark, tiny songs that have a structure similar to the previous pop-oriented album except taken to a new extreme
>first album of a series of connected concept albums that showcases their continued mastery of their method and arrangement

Then some of the founding members left and they had a billionjillion other albums, some of which were pretty good and a bunch were stupid but still likable as a novelty and a bunch of crap too, and expanded their act to things outside of just music.

yeah, that was probably too easy

>worst production
>that's better
>we're death metal now
>we like heavy metal
>we're falling apart, let's release something mediocre
>ok reunion album

HERE I COME CONSTANTINOPLE

Negative to the second one.

>our mommy died :(

Mastodon?

Oh, Gojira, duh.

I'm gonna guess Radiohead.
Kanye West!

The Mars Volta.

>TWAAAAANG

>the fans all know this is better than the next album, but nobody admits it
>it's supposed to be a concept album, but doesn't really sound like one
>psychedelic rock, baby!
>...we did every genre we could
>only four of these are actually new original songs by all of us
>we hate each other and also we sound way less punchy
>this wasn't supposed to be produced by that guy, what the fuck

>made only one album
>created a genre
>the best album out of the said genre

Talking Heads?

Nope. Before that.

Yep!

man i really want to know what these two are, fuck. any more hints?

sex pistols?

the mars volta? or Omar Rodriguez related?

that last point threw me off

>first song of debut album starts with first ep.
>piero scaruffi thinks the main guy's a god of his instrument
>there are other band members, but we all know who we're here for
>quality decline from first album, oh but a decent album appears, then back to quality decline
>quality decline happened, as fans say, because lead guy slowly started treating main band like one of his side-project groups
>lyrics occasionally have political message or a social commentary, but most of the time it's just outlandish

...Earth?

I was thinking Arcade Fire but that last one threw me for a fucking loop

>here's my post-punk band
>here they are again
>fuck them i'll get famous on my own
>synthpop worked well last time lets do it again
>ya like jazz?
>funk time
>more of the same i guess

>holy shit people are starting to like my music again, gonna keep going with the industrial
>toss dark wave in there too, why not
>hell toss in ambient too
>this is the best thing i've done in a long time

bump because i want to know what this is

David Bowie?

Nope, started ten years after Bowie did. Here's a hint, this guy's a huge influence on Trent Reznor.

>quirky and poppy
>mad at my ex and I really want him to know it
>hey everyone motherhood is beautiful
>what if we replaced every instrument with a human voice for a full album?
>nobody liked the last album so let's collab with any successful modern producer we can find for this one
>muh vagina
>muh vagina again

I wanted to do her's...:(

I've listened through her entire discog this week for new one.
Vespertine+b sides rn.

bjork?

A really shitty depiction of Radiohead.

Yep

>collab that sounds good on paper but was hip hop aoty

FTFY my friendo.

Arca clearly.

oh shit so THAT'S what the red demon thing i've been seeing is from

>the angriest Synthpop record ever made
>RRRRRRGH (ep)
>here's a concept record about a man who kills God, then himself. Also, drugs.
>the last one but without the concept and twice as long. More drugs.
>fuck it, no more drugs. Let's just make a pop-rock record.
>here's a concept album about a totalitarian theocracy that I made on my laptop
>dude I made a 3 hour ambient album lmao
>what the fuck am I doing
>like the older albums but not really
>actually like the older albums (ep)
>*fuddles with effect knobs* (another ep)

>White Zombie
>Alice Cooper
>David Bowie
>John Lennon
>What my fans listen to :^)
>The Cure
>What was too shitty to put on previous albums
>uh rock I guess?
>uh blues rock I guess?

>hi, we're a thing now
>like the first one but way more aggressive
>like the first one but a bit more experimental on the production

That's not Nine Inch Nails because the angriest synthpop record ever made was probably made by Ministry or Skinny Puppy.

Actually even Kim Wilde sounds edgier than Trent on Select.

NIN, for sure. though is right, Skinny Puppy had much more angry synthpop.

>That's not Nine Inch Nails because the angriest synthpop record ever made was probably made by Ministry or Skinny Puppy
Ministry and Skinny Puppy's synthpop albums weren't really even angry though

Which says a lot about how milquetoast PHM is.

>melodic black metal
>pagan black metal
>kinda symphonic black metal
>blackened death metal
>blackened death metal
>blackened death metal
etc...

...Marilyn Manson? I have no fucking clue.

Good point

of course it's Manson

>created a genre
>the best album out of the said genre
that being said the sex pistols still kick ass despite what people here say

The Beatles

Yep!

anohni?

gary numan

Vektroid

Only the first three albums because they're the only ones I've heard but:

>Got bored with my old band. Let's make something darker
>Like the last one + LMAO DUB.
>Friendship ended with bassist, now drums are my best friend

Boom, there's the one. Good job!

>Hi we're (band) and we love getting fucked up and playing heavy music as fast & loud as possible.
>Maybe we should try some deeper lyrics, and add a ballad or an instrumental track here and there.
>Now tighten the playing, improve the melodies and songwriting, and make a classic record.
>Even tighter playing, almost prog. 9+ minute songs. Fuck bass.
>We're not gonna make any money unless we slow it down, simplify the songs, and write some hooks - so let's do that.
>We're just a buttrock band at this point.
>Buttrock 2
>Everyone in the band now hates each other - make a shitty nu-metal album, cash the check, and call it a day.
>We hate each other slightly less. Time for a 'return to form'.
>Getting better at channeling the old energy, but it's not the same.

Metallica
