Suddy: Albums I Dont Understand

Pheromone 10.20.13	I had never heard of GUnther until this list, I am now the happiest man alive.
minnashine 10.20.13	fuck you for 2
NordicMindset 10.20.13	1 is a 5 and 4 is best deftones
Gwyn. 10.20.13	I guess they don't /touch your tralala/
SirDrumsalot 10.20.13	I agree with #4. Deftones has been my favorite band since their beginning, White Pony is a great album you can't deny that. But it is definitely not their best. It's actually 4th out of 7 for me.
Pheromone 10.20.13	From what I've heard of Saves the day (at the funeral being about it) they are really generic, that song was one of my favourites back in the time I used to make cds for myself and that was on one of them, I dont know if I want to listen to the full album is it all like that one song?
JokineAugustus 10.20.13	Listen to For Today Decay
Mort. 10.20.13	tutti frutti summer love
NordicMindset 10.20.13	white pony is a close 5
PistolPete 10.20.13	i feel ya with white pony, same rating and exact same feelings. Around the Fur and Diamond Eyes are more enjoyable listens
rapideyemovement 10.20.13	David Bowie - Station to Station
StallionMang 10.20.13	"Lol is this a joke" No shit.
JokineAugustus 10.20.13	Close To a World Below is a close 5
demigod! 10.20.13	agreed with 1
SuckerForAnnel 10.20.13	I 100% agree with 1.
Snake. 10.20.13	1, 3 and 4 are all 5's fuck you and fuck you for 2
Spag 10.20.13	1 is barely a 3.
ffs 10.20.13	have you tried smoking weed every day?
sideburndude 10.20.13	2deep4u
Athom 10.20.13	I think for a lot of people who are just stumbling on to these records, it's important to look at them in the context of the times when they came out. That's where all the emotional attachment is for many of us. Especially with OK Computer. OK Computer completely changed the music conversation in the mid-90's. The mainstream rock world at the time was fixated on the death of grunge and the retreads of 2nd and 3rd generation bands made alt-rock this anemic elephant in the room that no one wanted to deal with anymore but didn't know how to get rid of it, and the underground was basically Pavement 24/7. By 1997 it seemed as though the corporate nature of the 90's had sucked the art out of everything. Then OK Computer came along and allowed musicians to make music for the sake of art again. It took the paranoia and isolationism of the early 90's music scene and for the first time crafted it into something more. Even Nevermind was never a statement. Nirvana was an accident with good timing. OK Computer was the first, and for the most part only, mainstream statement record for that entire decade.
sideburndude 10.20.13	actually wait none of these are deep come on man
AliW1993 10.20.13	Agree with OK Computer. I've been trying for about eight years and I still can't hear anything aside from an above average alt-rock album. In fact, Kid A is the only Radiohead record which really hits me.
Wadlez 10.20.13	5 is not a 5 -Decay reasoning
Project 10.20.13	thank you redsky, thread over i feel bad that i missed out on so many 'classic' albums and i can't appreciate them now
Athom 10.21.13	It's not that someone outside of that time frame can't appreciate something, but most albums that are heralded as classics of a certain generation tap into a prevailing theme or sentiment of the time that they were released. They may not resonate on a wavelength that is in your life at the current moment, but that doesn't mean they never will. The range of the strongest human emotions is at their core very small, but the interpretations of those emotions are almost infinite. When the right string is hit at the right time, something you never liked before can open up in entirely new ways.
avonbarksdale221 10.21.13	redsky speaks the truth, great points man.
Cygnatti 10.21.13	3 is like the best album ever tho.
Athom 10.21.13	I SAID I'D WALK YOU HOME AFTER OUR THIRD ROUND OF POURING WHISKEY DOWN THE BARREL OF OUR GUTSSSSSSSSSSSS
Uranium 10.21.13	-better not see kid a on here -sees okc -fuckin retard -jk -no but seriously
ResidentNihilist 10.21.13	Agreed Redsky though that's their biggest stumbling block, many of these records rely too much on nostalgia to be regarded as classics especially 90% of the early hardcore punk records which barely hold a candle to what a lot of acts are doing these days.
Athom 10.21.13	I don't agree with that at all - especially with hardcore records. If you're talking actual hardcore that statement is moot because there is nothing original in hardcore at all. The entire rise of powerviolence in the last 5 years still sounds exactly like what Crossed Out and Infest sounded like 25 years ago, all the crew bands like Expire and Rotting Out are basically playing In My Eyes covers with different lyrics. Plus they're not as visceral and impacting as say the Faith/Void split or Group Sex were over 30 years ago. Even this 4th generation of screamo bands pulls on the same tricks that Honeywell and City of Caterpillar used. And lets not forget how even the mighty Converge's career was laid out in 1993 by Rorschach on Protestant.
Cygnatti 10.21.13	TO ME YOU ARE THE LIGHT FROM LIGHT BULB THAT BREAKS SOMETIMES AND THE TENDER WARMTH INSIDE IS RELEASED INTO MY LIFE
JokineAugustus 10.21.13	I doubt you'll "get" choir of eyes either.
30secondstocydonia 10.21.13	One album I've never "gotten" is The Seer. It seems to just be 75% random noise.
GringoSuave89 10.21.13	2 is most definitely a joke. as for 1, I suppose it was pretty powerful for it's time. Imagine a band doing it with Siri and you'd be close.
Riviere 10.21.13	"One album I've never "gotten" is The Seer. It seems to just be 75% random noise." Heh, did you only listen to 93 ave blues?
NordicMindset 10.21.13	ok computer honestly deserves its legendary status
Riviere 10.21.13	I guess if you judge it by cultural impact, like the point redsky made. But I think if you're judging it just musically the Bends is just as good if not better.
wacknizzle 10.21.13	1 and 4 are so fucking good, just gotta jam em more dude
PunchforPunch 10.21.13	3.5 means great
minnashine 10.21.13	http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IXdrcYhsCbI
avonbarksdale221 10.21.13	Ok Computer is better than The Bends in every conceivable way
PunchforPunch 10.21.13	and 4 means excellent.
Sunbather 10.21.13	Is it bad that 2 gave me a chub?
GringoSuave89 10.21.13	I have to disagree, The Bends is fucking legend. entirely different vibe though.
wacknizzle 10.21.13	Ok Computer is a better album, but still The Bends rules, hard 4.5
avonbarksdale221 10.21.13	Still love The Bends, OK Computer is just on another level for me.
Athom 10.21.13	If you relate to a piece of music, whatever it is, then it's better. There is no right or wrong answer. The entirety of art is subjective. There isn't some secret mathematical algorithm that can suck all the emotion out of art and give you some cold, lifeless number on what's better. Whether you like The Bends over Kid A, Ligeti over Beethoven, or even Ke$ha over the Rolling Stones, you're right. That's the beauty of it. As long as you can connect to it in some way, then that piece of art is perfect despite whatever anyone else might think or say otherwise.
FearThyEvil 10.21.13	Is it bad that 2 gave me a chub? I guess you could say it touched your tralala
Riviere 10.21.13	I'd say White Pony is their best because it's multi dimensional with each song being it's own world and sounding very distinctive. Around the Fur has more energy but with the exception of Mascara, a lot of the songs sound samey and have 1 speed - go.
