Why do people still pretend that this sounds good?
Why do people still pretend that this sounds good?
>not having an 200 iq
>when the cognitive dissonance is so strong that you force yourself to believe the last 50 years have been a hoax.
This. Its ok to admit you dont get it bro
why do you act like your distaste for it is post-worthy ?
To be honest you have to have an iq of 1988 to enjoy Trout Mask Replica
It doesn't sound good. Which is WHY it sounds good.
Chew on that one bruh
It's beauty is in its precise ugliness
Why do people still pretend that this sounds bad?
if dubs then there will be no arguing in this thread
I agree
checked. we're all gonna be nice to each other now and no one is going to lie and say they don't like this album just to be contrarian
Because it's really fast. And bulbous too.
Suck a dick dumbshits bthhhhhp
hey. thats not nice
TROPICAL HOTDOG NIGHT
Because they're "2 deep for you" contrarians. I don't buy the "it's good because it's bad on purpose argument" it either sounds good and is good, or sounds bad and is bad. The kind of people who "like" this album have probably deluded themselves so much that they think my post is bait.
I don't think your post is bait, I just think you're an insecure retard for thinking everyone who likes an album you don't is being insincere.
It's not even that weird.
...
Back in the 90's~
Listen to some hard bop, then free jazz, then some Chicago Blues, maybe it'll start making sense to you
This. Some albums have some "required listens" of other albums needed to appreciate.
I never heard anything like what you're describing before I listened to Trout Mask. No Ornette, nothing like that. Granted it took a while for it to click but that's what we're basically discussing here
It’s not supposed to sound good. It’s supposed to sound interesting. Research the context of the album before posting some dumb shit like this again.
And you'll need a sense of humour too
Or am I the only one who thinks this record is hilarious
Yeah I feel you dude
FAST AND BULBOUS
>calls op insecure
>calls him a retard
>generalizes his opinion of one album to all albums
Okay guys calm down, I am stupid and created this thread to find other stupid plebs. Why are you gonna hate on me jeez
if you start a thread about an album with a following, you're gonna attract that following to your thread
*raises spork*
I was in a very famous teeeeveeee show
But I actually think it legitimately sounds good.
The wordplay and delivery is really great and doesn't get enough love, funny and genuinely surreal instead of just 'random' and more than anything else I think it's what sells the whole thing as being a focused artistic endeavor and not just nonsense to me
what the fuck are you talking about
while you're all here do any of you know any women at all who like beefheart?
I don't know anyone at all who even knows beefheart
I don’t pretend it sounds good. I just appreciate it for being exactly what it wanted to be; a calculative breaking of all the rules of music. I also appreciate how much it’s influenced math rock and some of my favorite artists. I also appreciate how at times, the dissonance becomes pretty kind of groovy. It’s just a fun, creative album
i suspect people just cling to the story of how it was made
What's captain beefheart doing now?
I haven't heard anything about him doing anything recently
Where's he gone?
dead
I've got some bad news user.
...
stop convincing yourselves it's good. It isn't.
I really enjoy this album and there's absolutely nothing you can do to change that.
...
after listening to this album occasionally over the years and thinking it was all bs, this thread reminded me of its existence and gave it another try. I can't believe i'm saying this but this album finally clicked for me.
PJ harvey is all i can think of
I knew someone exactly like you. I predict that you probably went through a phase of genuinely liking Nickelback. Maybe you played the drums but obviously i may be wrong.
I was the kid in elementary school who talked shit about Nickelback at every chance and then later into my life realized that they weren't actually terrible, just mediocre.
>music has to sound good to be good
Go grab a guitar or bass, or sit at a drum kit and try to play ANYTHING on this album.
Oh wait, you can't, because they're master musicians.
If a master musician makes shit music they're worse than a shit musician.
>not enjoying ear rape
get a load of this pleb
pretty much
it kinda does, it's the reason i listen to noise sometimes, because some of it sounds cool
>Trout Mask Replica
>It's a carp
it's not even super challenging music fucking come on like if you listen to Ornette Coleman and Pierre Boulez it's really not much of a jump just a homeless bluesman singing on top
stop being so pleb
>it either sounds good and is good, or sounds bad and is bad
Fucking dropped. How can a user of a board dedicated to music be this much of a plebeian? For the record I don't even like Trout Mask Replica, but you need to be shot for holding that opinion. Go listen to Spotify charts, that's all you need.
it didn't break anywhere near all of the rules
the first two albums i bought were a nickelback album and a kanye west album and i am now the captain of insane experimental music
this. it's pretty mellow-sounding and not that atonal
