06.25.20 | try to keep it to 3 recs and again--ESSENTIAL--not necessarily best (;
and yes, I've really never heard any of these |
AsleepInTheBack
06.25.20 | *cough* jane *cough* doe *cough* |
Pangea
06.25.20 | didn't see these in your ratings
Modest Mouse - The Moon and Antarctica
Sweet Trip - Velocity:Design:Comfort
The Flaming Lips - Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots
|
neekafat
06.25.20 | Asleep you know someone else will get to that (;
Thanks Pangea!! |
dedex
06.25.20 | Gospel - The Moon is a Dead World
Alexisonfire - Watch Out!
At the Drive-In - Relationship of Command
same, didn't see these either
|
Icebloom
06.25.20 | The National - Boxer
Sigur Ros - ( )
ISIS - Panopticon (although it seems you're not really into metal)
And I second The Midnight Organ Fight, good stuff that |
JohnnyoftheWell
06.25.20 | Panopticon is one of the best metal albums for people who could care less for metal tbh |
Trifolium
06.25.20 | The Gathering - Souvenirs
Indigo Jam Unit - Pirates
The Decemberists - The Hazards Of Love
Gooooooo!!!!! |
JohnnyoftheWell
06.25.20 | good good recs pouring in here, wow the '00s decimate the '10s lol |
Icebloom
06.25.20 | "Panopticon is one of the best metal albums for people who could care less for metal tbh"
True, it worked for me |
Trifolium
06.25.20 | Coincidentally I checked Panopticon for the first time yesterday. Loved it. |
JohnnyoftheWell
06.25.20 | ah yeah, can see you vibing with that Trif - you heard any other their others yet?
and neek did you check + dig Disclosure from the Gathering or am i misremembering? |
Trifolium
06.25.20 | No I haven't, should I trust the averages and proceed likewise, or should I go somewhere else next?
I checked his ratings before reccing, Disclosure is among them yes. 4.5. I'm super curious what one of the peaks of The Incredible Anneke Years will do for him. |
JohnnyoftheWell
06.25.20 | all their albums are worthwhile apart from maybe In the Absence, but Wavering Radiant is particularly lush and innovative; could see you digging that hard!
yeah, gonna be interesting especially as that's the Anneke album least representative of the band as a whole despite somehow being their best lol. Disclosure is more sadgirl so neek will probs prefer ;] |
MiloRuggles
06.25.20 | isis- oceanic, people saying panopticon are plebs
spiritualized- ladies and gentlemen we are floating through space pls for the love of god |
neekafat
06.25.20 | great recs so far!! (:
Trif I've been meaning to listen to the Decemberists! My aunt used to have Crane Wife on her iPod and I really liked some songs from that when I was a kid
@Johnny I did jam and love Disclosure!
@Milo you get one more rec! |
neekafat
06.25.20 | @Trif did you just rec me an "essential" 2000s pick with 8 votes -.- |
Gnocchi
06.25.20 | Include my recs you pleb |
Trifolium
06.25.20 | For sure Johnny! I'm going to go Radiant next then, and Oceanic for Milo.
Neek I hope you dig them! Hazards of Love is by far their best record I'd say. It's a 5.0 for me. Love love love that record. |
Trifolium
06.25.20 | ''@Trif did you just rec me an "essential" 2000s pick with 8 votes -.-''
Y E S ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! 💪😘💪 |

AsleepInTheBack

My recs:

The Wrens - The Meadowlands (2003)
Spoon - Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga |
JohnnyoftheWell
06.25.20 | someone rec Reconstruction Site + Supermodified plz, I would swap in but I don't trust y'all to re-rec Silent Shout |
Gnocchi
06.25.20 | List just got a little chunky m/ |
Uzumaki
06.25.20 | Let’s go with:
Dir En Grey - Uroboros (2008); figures since you liked Dum Spiro Spero...
Muse - Absolution (2003)
Envy - Insomniac Doze (2006) |
Gnocchi
06.25.20 | Muse rec, nice! |

06.25.20 | Well, here we go:
- Don Caballero - American Don (2000)
- Porcupine Tree - In Absentia (2002)
- Neurosis - The Eye of Every Storm (2004) |
MiloRuggles
06.25.20 | oh fuck i feel a fool about spiritualized. i could've sworn i checked. now looking through my ratings, i think 1997 might be my favourite musical year, wheeeww
okay two more votes:
Tim hecker- Harmony in Ultraviolet
Ko Otani- Shadow of the Colossus: Roar of the Earth |
Trifolium
06.25.20 | 90s win every contest that's for sure. |
Pangea
06.25.20 | If 1995-2004 was a decade it would easilly be my favourite. I have so many favourites from that era |
theBoneyKing
06.25.20 | 1995-2004 [2] |
JohnnyoftheWell
06.25.20 | [3] |
Trifolium
06.25.20 | Hmmm, you know what, I think I can [4] that. Although I'd heavily miss 1990-1994 in this bracket.
On second thought, scratch that, I can't [4] that. All of these darlings would miss the boat!
Dummy, Souvlaki, In The Nightside Eclipse, Blue Lines, Dubnobasswithmyheadman, Enta Da Stage, Transilvanian Hunger, Heaven Or Las Vegas, Hammerheart, Moussolou, Orbital, Krush, Twilight Of The Gods, Low End Theory, Loveless, Protection, A Blaze In The Northern Sky, Illmatic, Under A Funeral Moon, Strictly Turntablized, The Somberlain, Live In Leipzig, Transient Random-Noise Bursts with Announcements...
My god the early 90s were good. |
Uzumaki
06.25.20 | I was surprised he hasn’t listened to Muse yet. Somebody needs to rec Origin of Symmetry to him as well |
JohnnyoftheWell
06.25.20 | yeah lol Transient Random-Noise Bursts came to mind as soon as I questioned that statement. maybe 1994-2003 would be even better, but 2003 was an S+ year so the buck stops there |
tyman128
06.25.20 | Emery - In Shallow Seas We Sail
Thrice - Vheissu
Mudvayne - LD 50 (yea this one is a bit out there, but whatever)
EDIT: change out my blind Vheissu rec with Deftones - Saturday Night Wrist |
tyman128
06.25.20 | I totally missed Vheissu on your list... but yea just go ahead and listen to it haha |
neekafat
06.25.20 | Hell yes been meaning to jam Muse for a while |
SteakByrnes
06.25.20 | how have you never jammed Muse neeka bro |
neekafat
06.25.20 | I loved their singles in middle school but never listened to albums like ever until late high school |
SteakByrnes
06.25.20 | Muse is the whole reason I wanted to learn to play guitar :3 |
SitarHero
06.25.20 | Porcupine Tree - In Absentia
Karnivool - Sound Awake
Lost Prophets - Start Something :( |

@Steak that's really cool! I don't think I've heard anything off of Absolution actually |
SteakByrnes
06.25.20 | Absolution is sick af, got a bunch of their classics |
Divaman
06.25.20 | Kaiser Chiefs - Employment
Bayside - Shudder
My Favorite - Happiest Days of Our Lives |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
06.25.20 | Knowing your taste I'd suggest you cram some
Alantis Morrissette
Diana Crawl
Norah Jones
Celine Dijon
Sharyl Crow
Sarah McGlocklin
Jan Ardin
Melissa Etheridge
|
Lord(e)Po)))ts
06.25.20 | Adele |
Uzumaki
06.25.20 | Muse’s run from Origin of Symmetry through Black Holes and Revelations is close to perfection. Absolution is my favorite Muse album nowadays
@Sitar you should swap In Absentia with Fear of a Blank Planet. |
Divaman
06.25.20 | Wow, mean Pots. |
neekafat
06.25.20 | The sad thing is I've already crammed some of those |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
06.25.20 | On a Pots scale from 1-10 that was like a 3 in meanness and an 8 in honesty. |
neekafat
06.25.20 | Lol okay I'll take it |
theBoneyKing
06.25.20 | add my recs coward |
Snake.

neekafat
06.25.20 | Such anger :'c |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
06.25.20 | I honestly don't know if you'd dig any of my top 50 of the decade. Maybe try
Jenny Hval - Viscera
Blood Orange - Negro Swan
Young Magic - Still Life
If you haven't heard them. Those would be the best bets |
neekafat
06.25.20 | bro negro swan came out like two years ago, I reviewed it |
neekafat
06.25.20 | Milo did you really rec me a video game soundtrack that I have no nostalgia for |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
06.25.20 | oh yeah i forgot this was for 2000s not 2010s! well forget all 3 of those then!~ |
SitarHero
06.25.20 | If In Absentia is taken I'd like to replace with The Darkness - Permission to Land.
And I'd like to swap out Lostprophets with Tool - Lateralus. Cos that one guy is the biggest POS on the planet and even if the album was good his legacy should probably be buried. |
neekafat
06.25.20 | @pots done (; |
neekafat
06.25.20 | I've already 5'd Lateralus Sitar! |
SitarHero
06.25.20 | Ha! Damn, then listen to Lostprophets, but illegally so that no money goes to them. |
SitarHero

06.25.20 | Alright revised recs;
Limp bizkit
Disturbed
Carrie underwood |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
06.25.20 | Also think youd dig some Keith Urban |
Divaman
06.25.20 | And yes, I did rec you an "essential" album that only has 4 votes. I actually just looked back, and the whole first half of the 2000s for me was music from my local scene. (Although My Favorite actually wound up developing a nice cult following in Sweden). |
neekafat
06.25.20 | you must've sensed my ire Diva (;
I'm actually more unsure about the Bayside rec because I didn't love their most recent two much |
neekafat
06.25.20 | I really don't like male country singers from the 2000s so probably not pots lol |
Divaman
06.25.20 | Ah, it'll be fine. I'm sure they'll grow on you. |
Divaman
06.25.20 | If you like, though, you can switch out the Bayside album for Metric - Fantasies. It's up to you. That one is probably more your speed. |
Lucman
06.25.20 | Jimmy Eat World - Futures
Mae - The Everglow
Oceansize - Effloresce
The Weakerthans - Reconstruction Site |

06.25.20 | updooted |

Divaman
06.25.20 | Wow, you jumped on that in a heartbeat, didn't you? |
neekafat
06.25.20 | you bet (; Interrobang reallyyyyy did not sit well with me outside a couple tracks |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
06.25.20 | If you deadass cut this off at 90, a measly 10 shy of filling the list to 100, I will never not think you'll as a coward for the rest of your life |
Divaman
06.25.20 | Did I give you that one? I know I gave you Vacancy. |
neekafat
06.25.20 | @Pots I'm gonna fill it with other stuff I've been hoping you guys would rec lol like Converge or Joanna Newsom
@Diva nah I checked because everyone kept hyping it up. I liked Vacancy better! but not enough to think I'd give any of their stuff over a 3.5 |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
06.25.20 | Damn no one rec'd u newsom? That's actually a really good one for u
Newsom - milk eyed mender

Sowing
06.26.20 | Not sure if ocean avenue or paper walls would be more your style but I figured I'd go with the classic yellowcard gateway. |
dmathias52
06.26.20 | Coming in hot:
Iron & Wine - The Shepherd's Dog (If you like more lowkey folk, go with Our Endless Numbered Days, but I think The Shepherd's Dog is more your style)

JohnnyoftheWell
06.26.20 | thank u Lucman for making the recs I wanted to and forgot about somehow |
neekafat
06.27.20 | alright cleaned this up, will start this soon-ish-eventually (: |
SteakByrnes
06.27.20 | hell yea brother |
Satellite
06.27.20 | the lcd s/t is decent, but i rec'd sound of silver. |
JohnnyoftheWell
06.27.20 | m o o d
Stories from the City is one of PJ's worst but it's unremarkable alt for the most part so you'll probs 4.5 |
neekafat
06.27.20 | I just added it for the high avg and amount of ratings, is there another I should add instead?
Oops sorry sat! |
JohnnyoftheWell
06.27.20 | Hmm most of her best are in the 90s, but White Chalk is much more interesting and moving imp (though it didn't win a Mercury prize or whatever, so ig less e s s e n t i a l) |
Colton
06.27.20 | Tallest Man on Earth - Shallow Grave |
hel9000
06.27.20 | Turn on the bright lights maybe |
Satellite
06.27.20 | no worries neek. the s/t is fine, but i don't think there are too many people who would rec it over sos. |
Trifolium
06.27.20 | There is a lot to cram here neek. Whoa. |
neekafat
06.27.20 | @Sat I was actually hoping someone would rec me that!
@Trif yup but I got it! I do something like this every year hahaha (: |
neekafat
06.27.20 | @Cole how much is that like The Wild Hunt? :/ |
Trifolium
06.27.20 | I remember seeing previous editions yeah.
Satellite you're absolutely right yeah, s/t LCD is nice but SOS and Happening are both better in my opinion. |
neekafat
06.27.20 | I almost did Happening for the 2010s! |
AsleepInTheBack
06.27.20 | Shallow grave is in my top 5 of all time. It's similar to the wild hunt (also in my top 5), except rougher around the edges, with more technical guitar work and arguably with slightly softer singing. If you dont like The Gardener then you have no soul. |
neekafat
06.27.20 | Wild Hunt is a 3.5 so I'm not wholly convinced :/ |
Colton
06.27.20 | Literally the worst thing you or maybe anyone has ever said. Please take a moment to reflect on your words and then apologize. I won’t accept, but it’s a start. |
AsleepInTheBack
06.27.20 | Neek, my boi, how far you have fallen.... |
dedex
06.27.20 | "Wild Hunt is a 3.5"
pls stop Neek'ing everything! |
dedex
06.27.20 | see? we angry |
JohnnyoftheWell
06.27.20 | if Explosions in the Sky gets above a 3.5 I will be disappointed but also if Explosions in the Sky isn't #cinematic neekcore I will be disappointed ugh there's no winning here well played snake |
luci
06.27.20 | please include your fav/least fav tracks so i can have a quality hateread experience |
theBoneyKing
06.27.20 | Can’t wait for him to 3.5 The Meadowlands |
luci
06.27.20 | least favorite: "happy" |
Colton
06.27.20 | Btw AsleepInTheBack I would argue the guitar playing is more technical on TWH. Troubles Will Be Gone, Drying of the Lawns and Thousand Ways are a bit more advanced than anything on SG, which largely reuses the same fingerpicking patterns throughout. |
AsleepInTheBack
06.27.20 | Maybe 'technical' was a poor word choice, as I would agree that the playing on the wild hunt is generally more dynamic. 'Faster' is probably more apt, as he generally keeps to a higher tempo on his debut I think; plus he does his blistering 16th note (I think?) fingerstyle thingme alot more on that one from recollection. |
Colton
06.27.20 | By blistering 16th note do you mean finger roll/arpeggiated chord like this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CPdiRqi7VwU
I love that technique, it's so underutilized. I love Matsson's guitar playing in general, he's unreal. Only person who comes close to matching his fingerstyle technique is Mike Kinsella imo |
neekafat
06.27.20 | Cole I'll add it JUST FOR YOU but prepare to be disappointed
...also I'm sorry :c |
neekafat
06.27.20 | @johnny lmao
@luci of course, that's my preferred format! |
DaHound
06.27.20 | Luomo - Vocacity (00)

neekafat
07.03.20 | I always procrastinate these after posting you know this
Plus this filled up way quicker than expected!! |
Uzumaki
07.03.20 | That's what she said. |
Divaman
07.03.20 | Pfft! Lol. Just chops busting. |
neekafat
07.10.20 | alright y'all, getting this rolling soon
let's start with... 1 (Deftones - White Pony), 11 (Boris - Feedbacker), and 14 (Microphones - Glow Pt. 2) |
budgie
07.10.20 | i didnt rec anythin for dis? |
neekafat
07.10.20 | ig not :c |
budgie
07.10.20 | boycotting |

07.10.20 | mayb u can beg others to give up a couple spots for u |
budgie

JohnnyoftheWell
07.14.20 | update or i'll eat you

dedex
07.14.20 | RUBY RUBY RUBY RUBY |
JohnnyoftheWell
07.14.20 | forever a 12 y/o, yeet
might switch Silent Shout for something else, who knows an Album hmm |
Uzumaki
07.14.20 | Muse - Origin of Symmetry |
dedex
07.14.20 | ^ hell yeah |
luci
07.15.20 | the 5 worst neek takes, ranked:
5) "bay of pigs" is the worst track on kaputt
4) "sorrow" is the worst track on high violet
3) "no friend" is the best track on after laughter
2) "dream house" is the worst track on sunbather and "please remember" is the best
1) frances quinlan's "carry the zero" is more enjoyable than built to spill's |
JohnnyoftheWell
07.15.20 | 5 is probably 1, but 1 is still in a v select league |
dedex
07.15.20 | wow so ready for neek to neek our fave 2000s albums then
imma use "neek" as a verb from now on |
AsleepInTheBack
07.15.20 | Neek is the best verb
Neek, neek 91 already would ya, come on |
dedex
07.15.20 | not sure I want neek to neek Jane Doe tbh |
JohnnyoftheWell
07.21.20 | time is |
dedex
07.21.20 | to neek the neek out of this |
neekafat
07.21.20 | Okay first off "Pool" is the best track off After Laughter and "more enjoyable" is not the way I'd describe that cover lol |
luci
07.21.20 | hop along thread page 29 ("I might like her version better"). i think i confused you with conmaniac for the paramore one though. i'm sure this list will provide a replacement :> |
neekafat
07.21.20 | I like it better but idk of it's more enjoyable
And yeah that's a good guess hahaha |
Divaman
07.23.20 | Oh yeah, I remember this list. |
neekafat
07.23.20 | it'll happen it'll happen, y'all know I'm always a slow start |
Ryus
07.23.20 | tell me youre starting from 100 |
neekafat
07.23.20 | I am starting from 1 (: |
dedex
07.23.20 | y e s |
neekafat
07.23.20 | "Neek is the best verb" [2] |
neekafat
07.25.20 | 1, 11, 14 are up!! |
AsleepInTheBack
07.25.20 | you've neek'd the neek out of this, neek. good stuff. |
Pangea
07.25.20 | headless horseman is one of my favourites but i get why you're not into it as much |
neekafat
07.25.20 | @asleep is that a good thing or a bad thing ):
And Pangea it's probably just poor sequencing putting it right after those showstoppers |
AsleepInTheBack
07.25.20 | Neek is the best verb. It's a good thing. |
AsleepInTheBack
07.25.20 | Also headless horseman is one of the best, the sequencing is perfect to me, cause you've got those three massive tracks and then harrowing headless horseman. Such a great contrast. |
neekafat
07.25.20 | I'm sure it'll grow on me (; |
Kompys2000
07.26.20 | Very hyped to see some of my faves get just utterly neek'ed |
neekafat
07.26.20 | finally an expectation I can fully deliver on (: |
Icebloom
07.27.20 | Oh you've started this, nice. Curious to see what you'll think of my recs! |
JohnnyoftheWell
07.28.20 | If he can get into Feedbacker, he can get into Pantopticon tbh |
neekafat
07.28.20 | that's the closest thing to a compliment I think Johnny's given me |
Colton
07.28.20 | Please remove 74 and replace it with Shallow Grave thanks |
Colton
07.28.20 | but I'll settle for just removing 74 honestly |
neekafat
07.28.20 | 100, 17, 20 are next! |
neekafat
07.28.20 | @Cole you'll have to take that up with Steak, sorry :/ |
Gnocchi
07.28.20 | This is going to be a meaty list in a few weeks. |
Kompys2000
07.28.20 | Neek no pressure or anything but if you don't like The Moon & Antarctica I *will* cry |
dedex
07.28.20 | pls don't neek Gospel |
JohnnyoftheWell
07.28.20 | TM&A has enough corn to be a neek alt rock 5 tbh |
neekafat
07.28.20 | Yeah am expecting big things from all three tbh |
dedex
07.28.20 | yeah I'm not too worried about The Moon & Antarctica |
ChoccyPhilly
07.28.20 | 2010s cram list when??
|
dedex
07.28.20 | I think he already did it, like a year ago |
ChoccyPhilly
07.28.20 | ffs :[ |
JohnnyoftheWell
07.28.20 | it was also kinda mediocre
much like the 2010s x d |
ChoccyPhilly
07.28.20 | Half of all my music is from 2012 onwards soooooooo |
SteakByrnes
07.28.20 | Shut up Cole lol |
JohnnyoftheWell
07.28.20 | l o l
am thinking of swapping the Knife for Songs About Leaving someone advise plz |
dedex
07.28.20 | don't |
JohnnyoftheWell
07.28.20 | why dedex plz help me
currently jamming Imaginary Sonicscape and maybe that would be a shout hmm |
dedex
07.28.20 | idk I just feel like neek doesn't know anything about The Knife so it's cool if he listens to them |
neekafat
08.23.20 | 100 (Boards of Canada), 17 (Modest Mouse), and 20 (Gospel) all done!
Obviously am taking my time with this, no need to rush like my other cram lists... so is it really a cram?? I'll try to be quicker (; |
Pangea
08.23.20 | the cold part & the stars are projectors are good best track picks |
JohnnyoftheWell
08.23.20 | Stop loving music so much (this is a good list you have heard good albums) |
Gnocchi
08.23.20 | Nocte recs still untouched : [ |
neekafat
08.23.20 | Nocte there is a pattern to this!!
@Pangea tell that to Johnny *rolls eyes* |
Gnocchi
08.23.20 | I'm your pattern bb
(I may or may not have missed any comment describing listening patterns et al) |
Kompys2000
08.23.20 | "the cold part & the stars are projectors are good best track picks"
Bold of you to imply there's any bad choice for best TM&A track |
Pangea
08.23.20 | you're right Kompys, there aren't. every song there is great
I did appreciate the cold part pick. I feel that one is ever so slightly underrated |
neekafat
08.23.20 | Yeah I just loved that song, it's very mellow and menacing |
Divaman
08.23.20 | Oh yeah, I remember this list. Good times, good times. |
neekafat
08.28.20 | surprised no one rec'd any Ulver! |
AsleepInTheBack
08.28.20 | keep going on this neekboi, lots of good shit to come |
neekafat
08.28.20 | Working on 2, 23, and 26 as we speak! |
Trifolium
08.28.20 | The problem with Ulver is picking just one of their albums. So many great ones for so many different reasons. Plus would they really be your thing? I don't know... Do you like trip-hop for instance? |
neekafat
08.28.20 | I don't have a lot of experience with trip-hop, but I really like what I've heard and have been trying to get into it more! |
Trifolium
08.28.20 | Well in that case we should definitely have recommended some Ulver here. And Portishead. And Massive Attack.
But there's so much we should have rec'd AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH. |
JohnnyoftheWell
08.28.20 | Damn, starting him on 00s Massive Attack or Third wouldn't have been ok
I wanna listen to Third now |
Trifolium
08.28.20 | Yeah I think that is why I didn't go there. 90s Portishead and Massive are where it's at.
Has the 90s to cram list already happened? Impossible to choose for that one because BEST DECADE EVER. |
neekafat
09.03.20 | 2 (Sleep), 23 (The National), 26 (The Gathering) all up!
And no Trif, the 90s Cram hasn't happened yet... yet.... |
JohnnyoftheWell
09.03.20 | "but Berniger’s at-times flaccid vocals and their stately pacing throughout their records eventually wears on me.
[...]
Favorite: "Green Gloves” “Ada” / Least Favorite: "Squalor Victoria""
literally what |
neekafat
09.03.20 | Bro I literally have to pick National least-faves at random because of how consistent their albums are and y'all always manage to get offended |
neekafat
09.03.20 | his vocals do very little for me, there's a reason "Where Is Her Head" is my fave song by them |
JohnnyoftheWell
09.03.20 | Yeah but uh, you picked probably the two songs most representative of your criticisms as your favourites and the one most antithetical to them as your least favourite? getting a huge 404_not_found on that take lmao
+"Where Is Her Head" is your fave bc it sounds the most like soundtrack music from a coming of age flick for 15 y/o girls, ily < 3 |
neekafat
09.03.20 | Both of those stood out significantly from the rest of the album imo. Stately/flaccid on their own maybe, but in the context of the album quite moving
And I will neither confirm nor deny that statement (: |
Trifolium
09.03.20 | Yipppeeee happy with that neek 💚
Such a lovely album and a Lovely Lovely band (the Anneke years especially).
I'll better start thinking about this 90s-cram thing already, what to rec, what to rec. Deciding for that one will possibly take years... |
Pangea
09.03.20 | fair take on the national. matt berninger is far from my favourite singer but his vocals works perfectly with their music for me anyway
happy to see green gloves in the best tracks! |
neekafat
09.03.20 | "Deciding for that one will possibly take years..." hell it may be years till I post it! Glad you're glad I liked it (:
Thanks Pangea!! I don't mind his voice too much, but across an entire album it gets old fast for me |
Trifolium
09.03.20 | ''I wanna listen to Third now''
Didn't even see this earlier, but I always want to listen to Third. |
Trifolium
09.03.20 | It would be lovely to see an elaborate to-cram-list like this one but then with all of these lovely 90s albums. Hmmmmmmmmmmm. Looks like I will have to dream (and drool) about that for years... |
neekafat
09.03.20 | nahhhh, I love doing these, it'll probably be within a year or two! depends how long it takes me to get done with this! |
Icebloom
09.03.20 | Can definitely see where you're coming from with The National. Luckily, a 4.2 is still a really good rating : ) |
dedex
09.07.20 | correct Gospel take, am proud of ya |
neekafat
09.07.20 | < 3 thanks for the rec bud |
dedex
09.07.20 | yw, hope you'll vibe as much with the other two |

Divaman
10.18.20 | Oh yeah. I remember this list. Good times, good times. |
neekafat
10.20.20 | yeah i'll admit i let this one go a bit lol, still fully intend to do this, got caught up with some discogs I've been meaning to check! |
fogza
10.20.20 | There's lots to like on this list. |
neekafat
10.20.20 | and I'll probably end up liking 97% of it (: |
fogza
10.20.20 | I'm envious of people with a wide, varied and optimistic taste in music. |
dedex
10.20.20 | jam 84 you'll like it thx bye bye |
SteakByrnes
10.20.20 | neeka pls |
Trifolium
10.20.20 | Cram cram cram,
Cram cram cram!
Is what neek should be doing. |
Uzumaki
10.20.20 | Can’t wait for more takes from Neek. |
JohnnyoftheWell
10.20.20 | lmao there's a xiu xiu album here, can't wait to see how that goes |
neekafat
10.20.20 | Yeah no idea what to expect from that lmao |
Kompys2000
10.20.20 | Pretty much all my favorites got recced by other people so I just picked albums that I thought would be interesting to see neek'd lol |
dedex
11.27.20 | hey |
JohnnyoftheWell
11.27.20 | hey

JohnnyoftheWell
01.09.22 | lol featured |
theBoneyKing
01.09.22 | Lol, ded |
neekafat
01.09.22 | lol thanks |
Emim
01.09.22 | Old list I know, but Chevelle - Wonder What's Next should be here too. |
neekafat
04.21.22 | wonder if I'll pick this back up |
Divaman
04.21.22 | Well if you don't know, then we surely don't. |
JohnnyoftheWell
04.21.22 | I think we do |
neekafat
04.21.22 | I've already heard a few more of these since, we'll see how I'm feeling in a few weeks (; |
JohnnyoftheWell
04.21.22 | given the range of excellent and trash albums here, that could mean literally anything |
Gyromania
04.21.22 | Tons of garbage on this list. I'd point it out for you to avoid but it would take too long. The devil is in the details being your least favourite geogaddi track is such an impressively bad take tho that idk, maybe you'll enjoy most of these |
neekafat
08.15.22 | gonna revive this in a different way idk if ur all gonna like it |
SitarHero
08.16.22 | We didn't like it too begin with. Jk love you bby. What're you gonna do with it? |

30 - Mastodon - Blood Mountain
32 - ISIS - Oceanic
59 - Metric - Fantasies
