I like his works but there are better noise acts in Japan.
>their fans
Don't care.

Merzbow is cool but you get a lot of posers who namedrop him thinking it will make them super cool and mysterious, but its the only noise outfit they could name.

what are some better noise acts, if you don't mind naming any? Not counting hanatarash.

Literally for autists

Extremely eccentric, borderline shit tier but with some sparks of genius here and there, I honestly think he lacks direction because most of his collabs are pretty fucking amazing.

Japanese Skrillex

>Meat is murder
Well now I hate them

noise music is shit and i can't believe people even debate this

i like noise it rules

hes unironically underrated. he's obviously popular by 9/10 people think he's shit when he's actually got some pretty cool stuff if you're into texture based music or sound design and shtuff

FUCK didnt mean to post as a reply

Overrated as hell.

I've listened to maybe 60% of his whole catalog and have only found a few things that I really liked. He doesn't know how to edit and filter out what sounds like shit

This is his best work and he's hardly on it.

this is much better

Hes over rated and has no quality control

"music" for faggy hipsters that pretend to enjoy harsh noise

Fuck off

this. his collabs are so so so much better than his solo stuff

He is underrated bc of fags like you.
Overrated in generale, but his stuff is tightly controlled, what are you talkimg about?

why are you asking, do you wanna get into noise but all you find is merzbow? i can hook you up with essential entry level stuff that isn’t merzbow

noise rock is not noise music you dumbass

Not OP but I’d like some entry level noise

I really like Strange City, Venerology, Cuts, Door open at 8 AM, and some album with I think a tree on it.

'underrated' implies a solid act/album that's been passed over for whatever reason. merzbow is like, the complete opposite. he's the only noise artist most people know and his quality is all over the place

>tightly controlled
he fluctuates between trying too hard to be harsh and overall comes off as extremely predictable. there's no nuance, no texture, just trying his best to overwhelm the listener (and ultimately failing, lol)

and the thing is, he's been pulling this shit ever since pulse demon.

>t. Hasnt listened to merzbuddha, amlux, kakapo, or many other 'tight' merzbow releases

you people that think merzbow is shit, why do you think so many great artists respect the shit out of him and work with him?

why do you think this validates him as a talented artist?

He isnt shit, he has just made a lot of noise albums and released a box set. Hes the most recognizable harsh noise musician. Everyone is just saying you have to wade through a lot of crap when it comes to merzbow.

I never said it does. why are you dodging the question?

what does "talented artist" mean?

This, Full of Hell & Merzbow, Gensho and Rock dream are ace

define define

to state or set forth the meaning of (a word, phrase, etc.)

Definitely agreed

Don't forget the tracks he's done with Sunn O))), there's some absolutely incredible shit on Flight of the Behemoth

grew out of merzbow at 18
