Very much exactly of its time t b h
Zachary Robinson
We are only in it for the money is more modern sounding.
Brandon Lewis
This.
It was only ahead of its time by one year, which isnt much.
Aiden Reyes
mind blogging how all these kids today even with ableton live and macbooks are still poorly trying to accomplish good bedroom pop like ariel did

They aren't even coming close. It's really easy to tell who has an actual knack for songwriting and who's just fucking around with streamlined, easy to use tools.

The problem with any of these threads is they are always full of idiots who don't even understand the implication of "ahead of its time", it's always people posting weird albums that came from or after a time period where weird music was the norm
Now it can be interesting if decades later the style on an old album becomes popular but just throwing stuff at the wall in psychedelic and bizarre ways is very much exactly of the time period all those weird albums are from and they sound like those years
Bentley Hernandez
Yeah, especially Who Are the Brain Police and The Return of the Son of Monster Magnet. Every psychedelic and blues rock rock band was doing just that.
Luis Murphy
Hard to believe this is from 1956
Lucas Walker
>Help! I'm a Rock is a parody of Damo Suzuki-era Can literally 5 years before Tago Mago was even released
How is this possible

You're an idiot, try actually listening to something from the 60's other than Cream and The Beatles

Has any pop album ever been as ahead-of-its-time as this?
Jackson Phillips
>You're an idiot, try actually listening to something from the 60's other than Cream and The Beatles
Jesus Christ... I was being facetious with that reply. And yes, the 60's were a decade in which a lot of experimental bands emerged, not just The Mothers of Invention.
Jayden Thompson
Pop album? There are underlying psychedelic rock song structures for sure, but pop?
Charles Baker
I meant pop as "popular music", i.e. pop/rock/jazz/dance etc.
David Kelly
Jazz is art music
Lucas Harris
I'm convinced that music will get nosier as time goes by to where we get shit like this

this was incredibly ahead of its time as far as electronic music was concerned. Incredible

it just doesn't sound the same
it doesn't have the sun-warped tape hiss sound, just sounds plain fucking boring

The stooges obviously. Listen to ever the first album from 69 and any new garage rock release and its uncanny. 45ish years later fuckers are still making the same songs. Incredible

I always thought this was Frank's own personal tribute to Pet Sounds.
Compare the first song off of this album to any song Crass ever did.
A lot of people don't know about this obscure little gem. Very trippy, even if the majority of it is just commercials. It even has Jim Henson on it. How cool is THAT?
(Nice dubs)
Snarky garage band, maybe, but no denying it ROCKS! Especially the Iggy cover!

>I always thought this was Frank's own personal tribute to Pet Sounds.
It was released about a month later.
