The point of these threads is to there is no point to these threads 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.
why not? I thought Black Up was really good and lotsa potential in general not saying you should, i listened to one of the new ones yesterday and it was disappointing, but maybe ill still check the other one. maybe there'll be a track or two worth saving
hello, nice picture
nice picture too, very jazzy

Bratmobile - Ladies, Women and Girls (Kanzler)
The album tends to be compared to their debut "Pottymouth", which I haven't heard, but I'll try to express my opinion anyway. The band did manage to make each song a complete statement and surprisingly they don't even really repeat themselves thematically, even though on the surface they sound like they do. However, they still stick to the same feminist topic and while I know it's like intentional and culturally important neither the lyrics themselves nor their delivery was "on point" for me for most of the time - I would prefer lyrics to be sharper, bolder and more innovative, as for vocals - well it wouldn't hurt to really put emotion to it, cause gurl this riot gets really monotonous at times. Gotta give some credit to the bass player though - sometimes the music was ahead of the vocals in terms of brashness.
This Heat - This Heat (rym robot man)
For me this album will hold the utmost importance for its experimental creativity - in all the seeming hostility and estrangement which would be expected of something aiming at abstractness, for me the music still has its tranquil composure - it was not in any way irritating and it also managed to prove the point that it can be effortlessly appropriate for the "regular" song composition ("The Fall Of Saigon", like I doubt even the instrumental ending can be considered "experimental" for that time). It is, however, more of an exception, a seemingly minor gesture which is kind of a casual representation of a band's potential and unwillingness to reduce themselves into the avant-garde niche (that's how I look at it anyhow).

Destroy All Monsters - 1974 - 1976 (Shamepai)
Well, first and foremost, I wonder why would they aggregate so much stuff under one compilation (even though it is divided into three parts or albums). Nevertheless,
Gospel Crusade Now this could easily beat some early noise and power electronics works. While there are some of the good punk songs here, I was most impressed with the quality of noise, which really stands out from the rest of the album (and even the whole compilation).
Crying In Bed For it was the most chaotic and experimental part of the compilation, it kinda felt like a scrapbook, but it had a great deal of interesting ideas. Like in Gospel Crusade, for me the noise was especially interesting, however, there's obviously a different kind of noise here - not pulsing and aggressive, but rather leaning into more ominous and proto direction.
To the Throne of Chaos Where the Thin Flutes Pipe Mindlessly For me, this was the most consistent part, comparing to the previous two. The music here has significantly more independence and I can almost say there are legitimate "songs" here. While it is not any less primordial and raw than Gospel Crusade and Crying In Bed, for me it was a bit more accessible and memorable.
All in all, it's a significant milestone for punk, noise and noise rock, I think.

Crass - Yes Sir, I Will (Terminus)
Well, this sure has many great things about it. The style of songwriting is pretty good, that's a full blown political manifesto and of a decent quality, I'd say. The passion of their performance, well, apparently, that's kind of their thing. I doubt a lot of the bands could measure up to them in terms of "trueness", they don't just spit out slogans, they make their voice heard and it's not your usual vulgar brutal punk crap. However, that's where the flaws start as well, because the band is fully aware of its uniqueness to the point they start rubbing other bands' noses, blaming them for being conformists. I appreciate some healthy anger sometimes, but the band is way too obsessed with their delusional dystopian perception of power and state, so this anger looks scattered and of unknown direction really. Also, the music (except for "Rock and Roll Swindler) wasn't that special really (though I guess it was pretty alright).

if this gets enough upvotes i'll make a puerto ri-core chart that will definitely have more than just reggaeton music and cool clip art
David Stewart
This is a fucking longshot but years ago I used to listen to this ska band that was recommended here. The album cover was balloons with someone or something using it to float in the sky. I think the band distributed the album online for free if that helps.
hey guys skip to 1:10 please Is that section copied from another more famous song or is it original? I feel like I recognize it but never heard of "Mantis" before.
Anthony Davis

Hype Williams was just ok to me, but I wanna see what you think about Dan Deacon before he decided to be accessible These album covers are good, now I gotta look up half of this Very Cool, have fun

>Nomine – Blind Man Real great, the 3 tracks are great exotic dubstep, with To The Sky being the highlight. youtube.com/watch?v=9-6g0Kg2YyI
>Burial – Rodent Eh, I can vibe to it and it's catchy but it feels unoriginal. What the fuck is that Kode 9 remix.
>Randomer – Bring / Curtains Like Huh, Bring is Randomer doing what he does best while Curtains is a bit less exciting and doesn't feel too special. youtube.com/watch?v=UV1Yk4_WdiU
According to some people there is actually music in this album, actual songs! However, these I struggle to find under all the sounds of metal banging sound effects that sound like they were recorded in a garage using audacity with +30dB boost on the microphone. Many people say that this album is a very "creepy" Industrial Cunt-Buster Pop-Funk or whatever, but that would imply that this shit is music. To be completely honest the only creepy thing about the """"""""music""""""" in this album is the following it received, it legitimately scares me that people listen to this and can enjoy it, that and the album cover. The album cover is just some naked anorexic dude or whatever, which is possible the most retarded image they could have used.
But in a way I can understand why they chose a naked skinny dude to resemble their album, it is clearly a metaphor for them trying to start a band, and their music being shit to the point where they cannot afford food nor clothing. If the youth of this generation weren't so busy dyeing their hair various colours and trying to make everything "unique" or whatever this wouldn't be called "post experimental plunder-phonic indie-pop." In a sane world it would be called what it IS. And A promise is a piss-poor excuse of an album, like the piss poor man on the cover of the album. Bad album Xiu-Xiu.

The Velvet Underground - s/t (1969) >"Art Rock" Not as compositionally experimental as the two albums with Cale, Reed kicks his lyrical ability into overdrive on this album. The best example of that is the brain melting "Murder Mystery." 4.0
Ornette Coleman - The Shape of Jazz To Come (1959) >Avant-Garde Jazz Good album. 4.0
Jean Jacques Perrey - Prelude Au Sommeil (1957) >Ambient, Electronic, Poseurcore Somewhat impressive considering the time frame, but sounds like someone's first time getting their hands on a moog or farfisa organ by today's standards. 2.5-
Metallica - St. Anger (2003) >Nu-Metal, Midlife Crisis-core Unashamedly enjoy the title track. Other songs, and the title track, just less so, are the sound of a band desperately trying to stay relevant, but not complacent. 1.5 death in june sounds like the smiths lmao

Hope you use spotify then... Joy - "Your Time Ain't Long"

This wasn't really my thing Both vocal styles were kinda annoying, especially the repetetive background one instrumentally also nothing that could hold my attention :/ The outro was also pretty bad Already a lot more to my tastes, in parts sounds like stock sounds, but the vocals are cool and around 2:30 it starts to get really fun
nice drums, meh random sound effects, obnoxious voice maybe they changed their sound a lot or i remember them wrong, cause this sounds a lot different than what i expected very comfy, laid-back stuff, especially liking the soft vocals

Pere Ubu nowadays is basically David Thomas ft. whoever happens to be nearby

vu's s/t was always super boring to me. The Murder Mystery was the only song I ever liked
Brayden Taylor
I can see it being boring, but I like how relaxed it is in comparison to WL/WH
Jordan Hernandez
well, rest tomorrow need songs from trans, jimmy, lamb and anyone who wants to participate
Hey guys, what do you say if someone asks you what music you listen to? A coworker asked me earlier and I had no idea what to say - on one hand I didn't want to come off as a moron and list generic dad-rock though I didn't want to flow off bands like Nocturnal Mortum and Rational Diet that would out me as a pretentious gaylord. In the end went with BSS, Interpol and ATDI given their relatively well-known statuses and I think they still went over their head, felt really bad.
Christopher Davis
Actually, Academy Records in NYC recently sold a copy for $14k. Used to be my go-to store.
>Stonewall - Stonewall (1976)
Funny story about this album. You know Tony Soprano's record executive friend? That character was based on a real life tax scam situation with this record label Tiger Lily Records. There are only a few records out on it that we know of, and they were released on questionable grounds. Point being, they were never supposed to be good or marketable. Go figure, now it's all come full circle now and you can't get a Tiger Lily record without paying thousands of dollars.
This rocks hard. They were totally obscure, underground, garage-bound nobodies, but the sound that can fester in a situation like that is a rare thing indeed and it doesn't mean they can't rock with a guitar-driven intensity that hadn't been seen since MC5. There's a heavy Americanized Black Sabbath vibe throughout ("...trailer park Ozzy in the early stages of a meth binge," as Paul Major put it in his review) with rolling drums, lysergic Hammond solos, and a distinctive harmonica throughout that sticks out like Tommy Hall's electric jug. 7/10

Academy is awesome. I always find something really cool there. My favorite thing from there was probably an original copy of TFUL 282 - Lovelyville.
