KILL or KEEP: jotw's 5s

killed albums will be replaced by superior works of arte for the improvement of his taste
1Felt (UK)
Splendour of Fear

KILLED: Anathema - Judgement

the lamest "nostalgic pick" imaginable from johnny. you want ~melancholic~ rock, fine, but let's go with something that wasn't made to attract teenage girls
2Les Rallizes Denudes
France Demo Tape

KILLED: Boris At Last -Feedbacker-

(you are like a little baby)
3Cocteau Twins
Love's Easy Tears

KILLED: Cocteau Twins - Heaven or Las Vegas

hey, not a bad pick (rare!), but still room for improvement
4Pale Cocoon
繭

KILLED: Dead Can Dance - Within the Realm of a Dying Sun

true, your pick is a 5, but hawks digs it so you need to pretend to like it less than this japanese ethereal wave snob pick. I don't make the rules
5Lou Reed and Metallica
Lulu

KILLED: Kayo Dot - Choirs of the Eye

my pick is essentially the same album, so not much of a replacement, but still - Lulu’s way funnier
6Ikka Shinjyuu
Kurbitsuri

KILED: Ling Tosite Sigure - Just a Moment

still an ikka virgin?
7Yann Tomita
Music for Living Sound

KILLED: Macaroom - Homephone TE

if you want to keep pretending that quirky + Japanese + obscure = good, I’m not going to stop you, but please… choose something with a little personality
8Hampton The Hampster
Hampsterdance the Album

KILELD: Melt-Banana - Cell-Scape

I'll match the maturity level of your pick and go for a classic that you can actually dance to
9Slint
Spiderland

KILLED: mewithoutYou - Pale Horses

I'm sure you can find a way to 5 spiderland a second time
10Eric Dolphy
Out to Lunch!

KILLED: Oceansize - Frames

yours is an album with zero redeeming qualities so i’m going to have to go for the “listen to a real classic for once” copout here
11Guernica (Japan)
Shinseiki e no Unga

KLLED: Seiko Oomori - Sennou

wow this KILL or KEEP thing is really easy
12Svitlana Nianio
Kytytsi

KILLED: Shiina Ringo - Shouso Strip

if you're gonna copy baseline's taste at least go for the only good album baseline ever found by himself
13Talk Talk
Laughing Stock

KILLED: Slint - Spiderland

so every once in a while Johnny will correctly identify a classic just to keep his cred… (if he could have his way, his 5s would be filled with only quirky and twee Japanese indietronica) and spooderland is one of these cases, a true classic, but he has completely overlooked the detail that the relative ranking of spooderland above LS discredits all of his opinions :/
14My Bloody Valentine
Loveless

KILELD: Slowdive - Souvlaki

only two shoegaze albums in existence and you still manage to pick the wrong one?
15Royal Trux
Twin Infinitives

KILLED: Sonic Youth - EVOL

you wanna get dirty, let’s get dirty
16Citrus
Pits Are the Pits (25 Gold = Rare = Debris...

KILLED: Soutaisei Riron - Hi-Fi Anatomia

“What if johnnycore was actually FUN and not insufferably soft and pathetic?”
17Dinosaur
Kiss Me Again

KILLED: Talking Heads - Remain in Light

begrudgingly I admit that you’ve successfully identified another classic, but even here there’s room for improvement. DINOSAUR is more elite AND will make people think you have sex
18John Cage
4'33''

KILLED: The Dillinger Escape Plan - Option Paralysis

(self-explanatory)
19The Beach Boys
Surf's Up

KILLED: The Flaming Lips - Clouds Taste Metallic

I don’t think I’ve ever listened to this pick of urs. maybe it is one of the 23 best albums of all time. since the flaming lips are the worst rock band to ever exist, I doubt it somehow
20Beth Gibbons and Rustin Man
Out Of Season

KILLED: The Gathering - Souvenirs

do I really have to point out how embarrassing it was/is to still make trip hop in year X?
21The Veils
Nux Vomica

most insufferable fedoracore i've ever heard so i refuse to associate any good music with this, and i've already used my "listen to a real classic for once" lifeline so

verdict: KEEP
22TWICE
#Twice

KILLED: Thrice - The Artist in the Ambulance

(self explanatory)
23Unwound
Leaves Turn Inside You

jotw finishes strong with a hard KEEP
