emester
08.31.15 | Agree with 5 so hard |
SharkTooth
08.31.15 | 3 is something you can enjoy in the background while you do things, it's not something that takes concentration to enjoy, it's just really well-crafted, accessible jazz music |
SharkTooth
08.31.15 | also for me it's TPAB |
Gameofmetal
08.31.15 | TPAB is a big one. I liked it a little but its more in the 3.5 area for me |
MercuryToHell
08.31.15 | I had a feeling that would get a mention somewhere down the line! |
wtferrothorn
08.31.15 | damn man, you're killing me with 1 ;_; |
MercuryToHell
08.31.15 | I don't know why I put off getting it for such a long time, ever since Fantano's review I thought I'd end up checking it out, then I just got round to it and was so, so disappointed.
Almost in myself given that pretty much no-one dislikes it. |
MercuryToHell
08.31.15 | Added the last one upon scouring the 'best of' charts. |

08.31.15 | It's too bad you can't dig 1 |
MercuryToHell
08.31.15 | Yeah, it's actually quite frustrating in a weird way. |
RadicalEd
08.31.15 | Have to confess that I kinda feel the same about 4 |
AlexKzillion
08.31.15 | The Swimmer is the funniest song on 6. |
MercuryToHell
08.31.15 | I think the thing with 6 is that the parodies are so close to the original material anyway that it holds little interest for me.
Like, I know that's the point n'all but metalcore-by-numbers and puerile pop punk does so little for me anyway that I don't feel like I wanna get in on the joke - I think it serves better for fans of the music that it's parodying (those that don't take the shit hyper-seriously anyway). |
JokineAugustus
08.31.15 | this makes me realize how little music I've listened to from this year |
LotusFlower
08.31.15 | I don't think the humor behind Beating a Dead Horse is supposed to be in the instrumentals (save for songs like Mysogyneric and The Flute Song) but the songwriting and presentation through the music videos, lyric videos, "meet the band" interviews, and other minor bits of presentation.
It's really hard to parody a genre without sounding just like it or too far from it for the joke to be extra effective, which could change if you think the album is good or bad, but I think all the small attention to detail in the entire project and all the jokes that stem from them ultimately make the album. |

08.31.15 | try soulseek my man it gets you all the albums |
LotusFlower
08.31.15 | ^you have to know what you're looking for when you use it. Unless you're planning on downloading random albums without a slight idea of what they are. Which seems to be that dudes problem. |
MercuryToHell
08.31.15 | I totally respect that opinion man, I do think from what I've heard and seen that it's been very well done, and clearly with love for the source material - it's just not clicking with me a great deal. |
treeqt.
08.31.15 | it was a joke man |
LotusFlower
08.31.15 | Yeah, it's completely understandable why you don't want to get into the album because you have a very valid arfument against it. But No Now on the other hand... |
LotusFlower
08.31.15 | @tree my bad |
MercuryToHell
08.31.15 | It is my eternal shame. Exaggerated pitchshifting in vocals is really grating on me at the moment anyway, and it just felt like one of the worst components... |
Jots
08.31.15 | 2/5 them and move on to greener pastures |
MercuryToHell
08.31.15 | I can't bring myself to do that, with some of these it even feels like I know they're good albums, just outside of my tastes. |
LotusFlower
08.31.15 | then stop beating yourself up about not liking them lol |
MercuryToHell
08.31.15 | M'yeah, I dunno, when there's a lot I always feel like I'm not trying hard enough!
New addition (unfortunately based on someone's dig). |
Jots
08.31.15 | "Just sounds messy when it could have been a lot of fun."
it is fun tho, k disregard what i said earlier ^ tbh |

09.01.15 | Don't worry, I'm not bringing the avs down on any of them! |
