02.09.25 | i guess it's just indie stuff I struggle with LMAO |
Motiv3
02.09.25 | Agreed with 1 and 2. 3 and 5 are cool though. |
veninblazer
02.09.25 | 5 is prob the most likely to click in the future i just don't know if i wanna go through all 85 minutes anytime soon again |
Tundra
02.09.25 | How dare you have a unique take. |
budgie
02.09.25 | lol i kinda get it for #2
like what kinda fucked up degenerative diseases are required to like that shit |
jrlikestodance
02.09.25 | I don't really care for indie stuff either |
Flashmobba
02.09.25 | wow agreed with all of these, good job |
gabba
02.09.25 | 2 is like a newborn’s shit: not very smelly, but still shit |
veninblazer
02.09.25 | indie rock/indie folk to me is entirely dependent on the vocals, i'd be all over a gerard way indie folk/acoustic rock album because i love gerard's singing (aaron west and the roaring twenties is probably my favorite project in that style for that exact reason), but i think i just dont really vibe the way a lot of indie dudes sound |
ArsMoriendi
02.09.25 | Indie rules, but these aren't really reflective of the indie that I care about (vaguely Microphones do actually, but not the rest)
Check:
Deerhunter - Halcyon Digest
Yo La Tengo - I Am Not Afraid of You and I Will Beat Your Ass
Blonde Redhead - 23

02.09.25 | holy shit ars i thought u died |
Demon of the Fall
02.09.25 | 1) Mount Eerie the album is v good but I don’t know this one
2) last I checked this was legitimately awful
3) classic sad boi indie that hasn’t aged well but still pulls a few heartstrings
4) overrated yet somehow underrated in some quarters, excellent highlights
5) eh, really not sure here, I have never understood the acclaim either but it’s solid |
veninblazer
02.09.25 | i'll check those, hopefully the vocals work for me 95% of the time if u see a low rate from me on an indie album it's because of the singer, i love pretty sounding music but i'm picky with vocals sometimes |
Wildcardbitchesss
02.09.25 | venin listen to foxing fam😭 |
anode
02.09.25 | it does seem like indie is a contest of who can sing like the biggest asshole |
cylinder
02.09.25 | Rebellion (Lies) is still one of my favorite songs of all time
Power Out and In the Backseat still go as well |
veninblazer
02.09.25 | i wasn't crazy about nearer my god but that was almost 7 years ago that I tried it so mayb i should try again |
DocSportello
02.09.25 | listen to different albums then. i really did not enjoy new foxing but i can hear the appeal. gratitude is a great song imo. go birds |
Wildcardbitchesss
02.09.25 | I was literally just about to link gratitude lmao

veninblazer
02.09.25 | i'm checkin' budgie's rec he shouted me. this is doing something to me |
CugnoBrasso
02.09.25 | 3 and 4 are very very based though. |
AmericanFlagAsh
02.09.25 | I don't get the point of lists/opinions like this, just don't listen to them then? You have Bring Me the Horizon and Bullet For My Valentine 5'd, I'm not shocked you don't like these lol |
efp123
02.09.25 | agreed on five, but similar to you I haven’t revisited in a long time |
budgie
02.09.25 | efp uve never jammed endtroducing????????????????? |
veninblazer
02.09.25 | @Ash: what compels me to keep trying is equal parts acclaim and trying to broaden my horizons - you mention BFMV/BMTH but that isn't the entirety of my taste, it's just stuff I grew up with loving and it means a lot to me, closing myself off to unusual music for my taste isn't my thing anymore like it used to be |
Demon of the Fall
02.09.25 | I don't get the point of comments on lists/opinions like this, just don't respond to them then? You have Magdalena Bay and Pinkerton 5’d, I'm not shocked you don't agree lol |
rabidfish
02.09.25 | what's there to "get" in the first place, my dude |
budgie
02.09.25 | please dont say "my dude" it hurts so much please |
artificialbox
02.09.25 | 2 sux agreed |
veninblazer
02.09.25 | albums like this frequently show up on like "1001 albums you must hear before you die" lists and for me it's like "let's see what this does on me" so that's also probably why it frustrates me that I'm not all-in |
rabidfish
02.09.25 | you either like it or you don't, there is no "get"
brother |
FrozenFirebug
02.09.25 | pls substitute 3 for any other AF album
that's the good one |
veninblazer
02.09.25 | I haven't heard any other |
ConcubinaryCode
02.09.25 | You don't have to listen to all of 5 to get it. I got it in the first tracks and its one of my favorites. It's also a double album, first half is showgazey dark wave, second half is more energetic post punk. |
ArsMoriendi
02.09.25 | "i'll check those"
Cool, I await your takes |
budgie
02.09.25 | ars i feel like we arent bfffffffffffffffffff's anymore what happened |
Wildcardbitchesss
02.09.25 | Budge are you cheating on me |
budgie
02.09.25 | well atm venin is my bff cuz they 4.5'd my current fav album
it's complicated
i am a slut. |
veninblazer
02.09.25 | i do not consent to this adulterous behavior |
swallowtales
02.09.25 | deathconsciousness rocks - gotta be in the right mood though |
Butkuiss
02.10.25 | Ngl I reckon ITAOTS has aged kinda poorly. Either that or I’m much less concerned with pretending to like it for internet clout than I was 15 years ago. Funeral is better but again at twenty years out from release is just so far divorced from its original context that I can appreciate why critical appraisals of it are sliding. Deathconsciousness is pretty good, but I agree it’s overlong. |
RadioSuicide
02.10.25 | Boo this girl
Except #3 that shit is not very good |
NudeTayne
02.10.25 | had an old flame that loved ITAOTS and yeah that never worked out |
veninblazer
02.10.25 | i honestly hate the idea that u have to like something for internet clout, sometimes I'm just eh on something and that should be fine |
budgie
02.10.25 | "i honestly hate the idea that u have to like something for internet clout"
you just described this entire site
delete that comment b4 you get banned |
Dedes
02.10.25 | On the contrary
This site is the black sheep of internet clout
Idk if you'll see nearly the level of Metalcore/emo fandom in places like RYM or on mu/ threads |
JohnnyoftheWell
02.10.25 | yes thank you dedes this site is one of the few Very Online communities where you can *sometimes* enjoy not giving a shit about whichever algorithms are dominating the rest of the internet, until certain people go ahead and ruin it by being too unimaginative to talk about anything else ever |
budgie
02.10.25 | perfect that johnny pops in here |
Dedes
02.10.25 | Lol
I'll confess to being ill-versed in other music communities so I could be talking out of my ass a touch, i've probably turned to sput for a near frightening amount of my music taste. In any case idk if it's truly possible for a single person to ruin such a sphere of self-determination that I feel people here do well, even if it's hardly a mindset I myself can understand. Tldr, venin rules johnny I rule everyone here rules now kiss and make up |
veninblazer
02.10.25 | honestly i had enough of my mind made up pre-sput that I've just gone with my gut with the genres I like most and only consulted sput/rym charts for stuff I wasn't super familiar with. |
Ocean of Noise
02.10.25 | If you love Transatlanticism you need to listen to Death Cab’s entire early discography immediately:
We Have the Facts and We’re Voting Yes
The Photo Album
The Stability EP
Something About Airplanes
You Can Play These Songs With Chords and the Forbidden Love EP if you want (listen to the others first though) |
veninblazer
02.10.25 | @Ocean: i have heard their whole discog, I even know Ben's work with The Postal Service. Transatlanticism is the standout for me out of all of that tbh |
Ocean of Noise
02.10.25 | Ah good good. We Have the Facts is my fav |
veninblazer
02.10.25 | that's a good one. the photo album was fighting for 1st for a long while but title track to transatlanticism never fails to bring me to tears so it ended up winning |
Hawks
02.10.25 | 2 and 3 suck yeah. 5 rules though. |
onionbubs
02.10.25 | venin if you ever have a chance to see have a nice life live hop on that at least. immense show, one of the best ive ever seen |
veninblazer
02.10.25 | i'll have to!! |
fogza
02.11.25 | 2 rules. 3 is great despite the shine being taken off the band in recent times |
anode
02.11.25 | Doesn’t Dan suck live onion? Or is that cap? |
