Some good taste here.

>>3412105
Tame Impala is lame nostalgia rock. People that think that music is interesting need to raid their dad's CD collection.

>>3412107

>>3412117
They might want to start with this album, actually... >>3412113

>>3412110
I really like their more newer albums, love their older ones too though. What do you think of their newer stuff?

>>3412119
Yeah, Happiness Is a Warm Gun is my favourite. But that album is way too long.

>>3412117
Interesting opinion. I of course don't agree. I love their ep and Innerspeaker, Lonerism is good too.

Kevin Parker is an extremely passionate musician and you have to give him credit for his passion.

>>3412122
To be honest with you, I haven't listened to Bedlam or Octahedron yet. However, I DID listen to Noctourniquet, which I really liked. Some great hooks on that record, which I guess is part of why many fans thought it was a step towards generic pop-rock or Muse-like theatrics.

I'm not quite so harsh on it. 6 or 7/10, I'd say. Not enough prog wankery for my liking, but a really solid effort.

To put it in perspective, I consider Deloused an 8/10 and Frances a 9/10.

>>3412132
>>3412117
Well, it is nostalgia rock, but it isn't lame in my opinion.
He certainly is passionate, and a fairly talented musician. However, I feel like both the LPs have been slightly over-produced, but that's just my personal taste. Overall, some very cool stuff going on there, I look forward to Tame Impala's future releases.

Do none of you guys listen to real music?

>>3412139
Strangely I accidentally posted Noctourniquet, I was supposed to post Octahedron, all though I like Noctourniquet too.
I'd probably give Noctourniquet the same rating.

I'm still getting into their older stuff, I started off with Octahedron and loved it, I mostly started because I was obsessed with John Frusciante.

Seeing as this is /lit/, I will also venture to post this album. My other modern favourite. It's fairly wordy for folk music. Well, I suppose it's progressive folk really.

Anybody here love/hate miss Newsom?

>>3412156
Please post some real music and we can then confirm or deny our having listened to it.

>>3412148
Make sure you check out the Tame Impala ep and add in any other demo's Kevin made but didn't put into the ep. It's got his mixing not like Innerspeaker and Lonerism by Dave Fridman. The ep has more of a fuzzy/lo-fi sound and it's more stoner rock.

His instrumentals are really good on his girlfriends album that he also produced. >>3412048

>>3412158
I like Frusciante, too. Though I'm not a Chili Peppers fan.

I'll have to get onto Octahedron soon, I'm kind of ashamed of myself for not having listened to the Volta's entire discography yet.

I'm yet to listen to any Beck. He's on my list. Is that the best album to start with?

My god, you guys have the most boring fucking taste I've ever seen.

>>3412156
I bet you're a nu-metal or post-hardcore fan. All my friends who like those genres say retarded shit like that. "Real music." What the fuck is that?

>>3412170
>judges the taste of others
>doesn't post his own taste so he can be judged in turn

Coward.

>>3412170
>where's the brostep, bros?!

>>3412180

I know how playground politics work, friend. It doesn't matter what my taste is, once I've insulted yours you will insult mine. So it's not necessary for me to post anything, because I already know what the reaction will be.

>>3412186

>>3412184

See? He's already insulted my taste and I didn't even have to post anything.

>>3412169
Usually my opinion is different to most with which is the bands best album but I think Sea Change is the best by far. Beck had just broken up with his long time girlfriend(hence the album name), was depressed and just made this amazingly colourful(feelz)album. I'd say it's a good place to start, it's him at his most mature and the instrumentals are amazing.

I'd be interested in hearing about your taste, man. Post it. I'm always looking for new and challenging music. If you consider my taste boring then there's a possibility than whatever you post will be life-changing for me. Come on, it's all in good fun.

10/10 albuns, BoC's one deserving a special recognition as my favorite ever.

>>3412217
Headphase is one of my favorite albums to drum to, glad you like it too. Geogaddi is usually the most favorite but I think Headphase just has a lot more better sounds.

>>3411968
>hasn't grown out of music yet

>>3412081
Mein Negron.

I recognise that I'll probably catch some flak for this, but I've always found it "intellectually stimulating" - to use a lame term. I've been able to come back to every track many a time and find something new and interesting. Really great lifespan on this record.

>>3412211
How about you stop taking insults of things you like so personally?

>>3412224
lol.

>>3412224
I don't know about "intellectually stimulating" but Tool is very pleasant to listen to. Maynard has a nice voice.

>>3412224
Not my cup of tea but great that you get those things out of Lateralus.

>>3412224
As modern prog bands go, I prefer the Volta. But this is a solid album.

>>3412226
I wasn't, I was just interested to know because I could almost guarantee you had not listened to a lot of them.

>>3412224
I prefer Aenima, but I once had a really long walk in the hot sun and listened to Lateralus the whole time and it felt pretty cathartic.

>>3412219

Geogaddi would be my third favorite, with Headphase and MHTRTC tied at first place. I don't know, I used to have an preference for MHTRTC but nowadays I am into a more organic vibe, and Headphase delivers it beautifully.
Now, what about your favorite track? Listen to this beauty:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5PCtc21NM

>>3412231
I prefer Eve.

>>3412231
Tried to get into them, but they're so generic.

>>3412235

That wasn't me. The guy who posted the number indicating that he had listened to most of the albums in the thread was, though.

So in your face.

>>3412224
I always found Tool to be frustratingly and pretentiously technical. I mean, working mathematical equations into your compositions... come on...

>>3412240

Yeah, Eve is really good too.

>>3412241

How do you mean they're generic?

>>3412235
>you

No, I'm not that anon, just an outside observer.

>>3412243
You're saying a progressive rock band should dumb down their compositions to make your listening experience easier? Get fucked. Listen to some generic pop-rock.

I don't even like Tool, by the way. But that criticism is bullshit.

>>3412239
Yeah I remember just listening to Headphase stoned and I'd already loved it but it was so fucking good, it made me get it even more. Favourite song is very hard but for some reason I've always loved Kid for Today from In A Beautiful Place Out in the Country.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cz2a_SxUw

From Headphase, I loved to drum to Chromakey Dreamcoat the most, Satellite Anthem Icarus might be my favourite.

Will listen to the song in a sec.

Your favorite song is in the vid?
>>3412242
You know that the person saying it, also in another post said the number, you know it wasn't another anon? lol yep

Yeah, it's adolescent. I don't care.

Some of my favorite albums coming through.

1/?

>>3412243
You have very clearly never done LSD.

>>3412266

>>3412266
I'm gonna check this one out purely based on the album art. What is it, out of interest?

>>3412270
Whoops, forgot 2/?

Oh well. 3/?

Dammit, I'm tired. forgot pic.

>>3412274
Jazz/hip hop. Uyama did a lot of collaboration with Nujabes, so they're really similar.

4/?

>>3412254
No, he's questioning the decision to purposely make something technical (ie to model song structures after mathematical patterns) for the sake of seeming ultra2deep4u.

But I'm not sure that they actually have done that or whether that was just something the fans came up with.

So damn good, any Lord of the Rings fans check it out, easily one of the best instrumental psychedelic albums.

>>3412275
Damn, this one is too deep for me. I mean that earnestly. I plan to return to it one of these days and persist with it.

In a Silent Way is more my speed.

>>3412282
>>3412282
5/?

Love me some Davis.

>>3412274
look at the url man.
Uyama Hiroto - Son of the Sun

>>3412284
On the Corner is my favorite since it reminds me so much of Can. I almost crashed my car while listening to Bitches Brew the first time.

>>3412277
Lateralus is based around the Fibonacci sequence/spiral. That's what he's referring to.

I think it's pretty cool. I consider it added depth as opposed to pretension, you don't need to pick up on it in order to appreciate the track. It's like an easter egg.

Love all their stuff

>>3412258

Yeah, Happy Cycling. I will never forget dropping acid and listening to Music Has The Right To Children, probably the single most amazing feeling I ever had.
It's always good to find people that enjoy such incredible music as BoC.

>>3412284
>>3412284
You have to listen to it in a certain setting or it's just not gonna do anything for you. Put it on your cell phone or iPod or whatever and listen to it in a room with no or little outside noise. Focus on how it tapers off, and then picks back up. Sounds incoherent and abstract just for the sake of it, but it all come together in the end, and it works. Try to understand it as you're listening to it. Also helps to know that this whole album was pretty much improvised.

6/?
I'm sorry for posting Placebo, but this album is fucking great. really. listen to this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wrUJQ-cms

>>3412292
oops

>>3412286
Yeah, I meant what genre is it. Should have specified.

Too lazy to Google. I'm the worst kind of person.

>>3412294
7/?

Krautrock, nigga.

>all this good taste on my /lit/

I'll be damned.

>>3412297
This album is great.

8/?
I hope someone cares about everything that I'm posting.

>>3412299
Regardless of anyone's taste, it's nice to just have a chill music thread without the bullshit and abuse that comes with a busy board like /mu/.

>>3412293
I sadly haven't been able to listen to Boc on acid yet, I did listen to Innerspeaker though and that was fucking amazing.

I can only imagine BoC would be amazing.

Are you a fan of Tycho and Four Tet? I see Tycho as having a BoC sound and Four Tet as good and amazing as BoC.
Some other bands you may not have listened to and like:
Shlohmo
Bonobo
Teebs

>>3412305
This album was very underwhelming for me.

9/?
These teenagers are fucking talented.

>>3412298
Only listened to Tago Mago myself. Can't wait to get to the rest of their discography.

>>3412297
You're very very very far from the worst man.

>>3412309
I loved it, I listened to it while I read for like a year.

>>3412307
Future Days is my favorite, though Tago is great too.

10/?
This album is proof that the weeaboos were right and that Asians are better at everything.

>>3412315
>>3412315
11/?
I think this is going to be the end of my list. I hope you all enjoyed.

>>3412316
You've given me some great stuff to check out, man. Thanks for contributing.

>>3412239
Holy fuck, I can just imagine being there, especially tripping balls, near the end sounds so good.

>>3412319
>>3412319
You're welcome. Always glad to introduce someone to new music
>tfw people irl say they love music but when I try and talk to them about music they give me answers like "oh, I like everything"

>>3412312
Ha, well thanks.

Never could get into any pre-OK Computer Radiohead. I might need to retry The Bends since I only gave it a cursory listen.

>>3412324
lol. Yeah I hate that shit.
I think on some level those people are just intimidated by the notion of someone judging their taste negatively or something. I personally enjoy opening up that discourse. I have the most interesting discussions with people who think my taste is terrible.

>>3412331
Yeah, that's probably it. Maybe I come on too strong with the question, though I think otherwise.

I've never had anyone who's listened to my taste come along irl, so I've never had that discussion. Though I'd like to. It'd be fun.

I find it funny that a thread not even about literature grew faster than any other thread I've seen on this board. Nice going, idiots.

Judge me, faggots.

>>3412340
I'm sorry that we like music.

>>3412325
I did the same thing and thought The Bends was eh but then I gave it proper listens last year and couldn't stop listening to it, it's a really good album and it's interesting to hear the progression from bends to ok computer.

In Bends you can hear that they're starting to get progressive and especially Jonny and Ed's guitar work is beginning to become like it is on OK Computer.
My favorite part of the album, something about it I really like.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?featu=player_detailpage&v=XZng4Kd0Am4#127s
starts at 2:08 and ends 2:20
something about the guitar just relaxes me so much, I want the whole song to be that sound but if being that short forces to listen over and over again to get to that point(the whole song is good too though)

Also really nice cover.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ih4-91Wq4

>>3412343
Disgusting.

>>3412343
As pop music goes, it could be a lot worse. Not terrible at all.

>>3412349
I love that guitar bit from Just that you linked, but it doesn't make me think of Radiohead at all. If no one had told me it was Radiohead I would never have guessed. I'll definitely give the album another go, just the same.

>>3412352
Love the production on this thing. If they free themselves up structurally I can see them really becoming something special. The Radiohead comparisons aren't completely ridiculous.

>>3412358
A classic. Love this thing to bits.

>>3412372
That's why The Bends is awesome. Once you rape the hell out of OK computer, KId A etc you go and listen to The Bends and it's something new. It sounds different but it's still them. That little sound bite is so different to them, that's why I love it, it's like wow, another side of Radiohead. I'd been listening to all their stuff for years so The Bends was just a breath of fresh air.

Just don't even bother with Pablo Honey, even Thom thinks it's a fuckup.

Beck's 'The Information'. Honourable mentions to 'Mingus Ah Um', 'The Velvet Underground' (ST). 'Histoire de Melody Nelson' and all of Beck's other albums.

>>3412380
Is The Information like Beck's Sea Change?
