Wtf is the point of this?

This might just be the worst album I've ever heard, and one of the only albums outside of actual noise music where I feel that it's physically hurting my ears. Unlike many other terrible albums it doesn't have any redeeming qualities at all. I know music is subjective, but in this case I'm highly sceptical about anybody claiming that they "liked" listening to this.
What the actual fuck was the dude thinking? Did he honestly believe this was a finished qualitative product at the moment he released it? Is it just supposed to be a kind of joke/parody of terrible avant-garde music?

this album is like the musical equivalent of The Room or Troll 2, the badness is entertaining to a lot of people

I get what you mean. I can see what they're doing, I can appreciate what they're doing, but I don't believe anyone actually likes to listen to this for fun.

Kek, yes I do have to give it that. I lied about the "no redeeming qualities" part.

keep listening. it just makes a really bad first impression, and pretty much everyone who likes it started out where you're at. of course you don't need to and you might not like it anyway, but the people it clicks with obviously REALLY like it, so i'd say it's worth the time. in addition, whether or not you like the record, it did a whole lot of things *first* and influenced a ton of artists.

this is the only answer that matters, everyone who says different is just circlejerking one way or another. i thought it was aggressively stupid when i first heard it, and while i never quite fell in love with it, it fills a niche in my life that no other record I've heard even touches. sometimes it's the only thing i want to listen to.

It's just fucking math blues how pleb can you get

Yeah, I'm pretty sure I will check it out again over time anyway just because of how weird and intriguing it is. Have to say the weird (lack of) rhythms or the chaotic atmosphere isn't even what annoys me the most, but man, these screechy sax parts and his too loudly-mixed raspy voice, holy fuck. But who knows, maybe one day I'll make a thread on here about how genius it is

>math blues

Oh shit can I get some other math genre's

I like it. I didn't like it when I first listened to it, but I like it now. I wouldn't really know how to justify it but it brings me pleasure to listen to it. It's just an entertaining album, yes it sounds kind of goofy but the lyrics are intriguing and hilarious in equal measure and there's a coherence to the arrangements, it's definitely not just noise.

I don't understand where you hear a lack of rhythms desu, it's one of the most rhythmically dense rock albums i've ever heard

check out these instrumental versions from the practice sessions for the album. note that these were tightly performed and heavily rehearsed songs that were absolutely an intended outcome. Read a bit on the writing of the album, it's very interesting and somewhat terrifying

I meant a lack of rhythmical coherence, should have made that more clear.
Thanks for this, will dig a bit into it

I listened to tmr on repeat back when I was studying for the SAT and that's when it really clicked. I think the album really conveys the essence of "the grind".

some people like hearing things that are almost completely alien to everything else that they have heard

Yeah that album has so much information on it, its really amazing. Phillip Glass also kinda is the grind to me but in a different way

There are so many more demanding or inaccessible albums than TMR. TMR is very fun and bombastic and relatively easy to listen to. But if you judge music on how pleasant it sounds you're probably too retarded to properly appreciate music and should go back to your needledrop subreddit to discuss faux-experimental music like Radiohead and Death grips

low quality bait

actually yeah, I take that back, I just listened to it's entirety and it was actually enjoyable in some places

the first two sentences are correct though

Not even bait, you’re just retarded. TMR is classic-rock if you’re familiar with Cecil Taylor and Stocky. It’s just that the average pop/rock is fucking uneducated. It really is that simple.

oh god here we go again

Not our problem if you can’t even handle your blues rock. This record is great fun.

It's a bunch of good artists making "bad" music on purpose. Also proto-proto math rock.

>It doesn't have any redeeming qualities
This album has some shit on it like Pena and Hair pie, but Frownland, Dachau Blues and Moonlight on Vermont are legitimately great songs. Some of the songs are so bad or absurd they go full circle and become great, like Ella Guru and Neon Meate Dream. TMR definitely has redeeming qualities on it.

That weird Holocaust song was actually decent imho

Oh look, it's a 16 year old thinks they've already fully developed their musical taste and other people are poseurs thread

No, and no. This is great artists making great songs.

ps : you’re that Moonlight on Vermont dude

This, seriously

Children get OUT

Nah, you just doesn't have musical education and/or really have shit taste.
