Album rules.

reviewed and done. have like 18 page review here so you all can just give up now

it's eh

not a fan. almost as gross as the new KiD CuDi singles.

is this wimpy as shit

it's pretty bad

i honestly think kevin barnes has a good ear for melody and this shows it but every good idea is drowned out before it can begin to latch on, and the "experimental" bullshit sounds diluted and weak and generally masturbatory

This is amazing though

i was on the same page as you initially alex but i dk this is probs my favorite now in his post-sunlandic twins phase. i guess i've accepted that he's never going to make satanic panic again and just embrace the weirdness. even though that exorcismisc song is fucking terrible, the last song is awesome

klap4music - I'd love your opinion on a list I made today (yesterday):

http://www.sputnikmusic.com/list.php?listid=94151

This is the best album I've ever heard in my life and I'm not exaggerating one bit.

album seriously sucks ass

i get the david bowie comparisons and see how people could like this, but i have no idea how this has garnered so many 4.5 and 5 ratings already. its annoyingg mann

On my first listen, there's some interesting stuff here. I'm surprised some people have already decided to hate this, it's layered enough (and weird enough) that a few listens won't cut it.

^

Yep. This rules

Where is a good place to start with Of Montreal?

this

it's not that i hate this, but from the ones i've heard, i was never into 'of montreal' enough to enjoy their lps in their entireties (excepting sunlandic twins). so i guess this just falls into the back end of their discography for me. maybe my opinion will change, but for now, wellyea.

also, totally looking forward to a hyperbolic review from mr tao here if he's got one lying around.

To Veldin:
Hissing Fauna

album seriously sucks ass [2]

ill have a review for this on the weekend. and wtf this is a terrible place to start with of montreal, do satanic panic or sunlandic twins

no no no start with hissing fauna.

and i have to review this for TMT. struggling.

hate that record. conrad did you like the past few records?

nope. false priest was bullshit and satanic panic just struck me as being annoying

in fact aside from hissing fauna i haven't liked a lot of their stuff since the gay parade

i didnt mind false priest but i hated skeletal lamping. satanic panic was the first of montreal record i heard so i have a soft spot for it. i generally like their twee stuff better than this georgie fruit business

Satanic Panic is where it's at, but their newest album is immensely enjoyable.

they could have been great if they managed to make their sound a little bit more concrete and focus at the better melodies which are fleeting in most of their albums

still, I guess their works are portrayals of Barnes' half-fucked up mind so I cannot accuse them!!

I really want to see a review of this one though

If Of Montreal's music was a person it would be a flaming gay man.

but yeah this is meh. They keep disappointing me which is sad cuz I loved Satanic Panic + Sunlandic + Hissing Fauna.

You people like conventional music too much. "This would be great if they dumbed down their sound derp"

i like a bunch of "unconventional" music

you rated TKOL a 2 seems like a trend to me

edit and panda bear

Tomboy was awful

so there

lol

who is this guy? alex play on playa

i never said whether i liked panda bear or not, but it is an unconventional album. derp

Yeah guys, your brains are obviously too STUPID to handle how experimental this music is. Maybe if your mind could COMPREHEND how avant-garde it really is then you would appreciate it, DERP.

You can't understand music as advanced and unconventional as RADIOHEAD

you sound pretty mad dude

Not really, I just think you act very silly.

How so? I never said anything negative about anyone who doesn't like this, nor did I say they're stupid for not liking it. Those are assumptions you made on your own for whatever reason. I just stated that people on this site don't tend to like unconventional music. If you get offended by that, I don't know what to say to you.

I don't care if nobody else likes this. I actually prefer to be the only one to like something so by all means dislike as you see fit. Get over yourself while you're at it.

lol omg

here lemme resort to acronyms b.c i feel stupid now omfg rofl

"I just stated that people on this site don't tend to like unconventional music." and thus we don't like this? no, i say nay, especially when your citations of 'unconventional music' are, uhh, radiohead and panda bear? w/e i'm probably Being Trolled

my citations from your personal ratings. i would not say those are exemplary choices for unconventionality. you think TKOL is conventional? I did not say radiohead is unconventional (way to misquote me), I said TKOL is

wow okay you are actually being serious? yes, you're right, i don't like this album because i dont like unconventional music. this is proven in my dislike of two (2) other "unconventional" (and yes, i maintain that both tkol and tomboy, especially the latter, are pretty far from being paragons of unconventionality) albums, out of a whopping 19 albums i've rated. thats how statistics work. what about the fact that easily the most unconventional album in my ratings (the caretaker, but you probably wouldn't know about that album because you dont like unconventional music lol owned) i gave a 4.5? come on

you didn't answer my question. you think TKOL is conventional? and I didn't look past your most recent ratings, narcissist I don't care that much

sure uh tkol is not conventional. i wouldnt say its wildly unconventional but if you want to say it is unconventional overall then sure. that said its not like that matters, what matters is that you think you can give a survey of my tastes and whether or not they are "conventional" from two ratings

i said i noticed a trend. exaggerate much? since you're so concerned with statistics, you should know what a trend is, no?

oh my god im done here

ok farewell. way to name a single "unconventional" album you rated high when you called me out for only naming three that you rated low btw

You sure showed him, Anthracks!

...oh god

here lemme resort to acronyms b.c i feel stupid now omfg rofl

Ive had this for a month, but yeah its the best since Hissing Fauna

If Hissing Fauna is better than this, then that must be the best album of all-time; because right now this album holds the title.

oh okay now i get it

Get what?

*facepalm*
