Bedex: Potential 5.0's | Sputnikmusic

ArsMoriendi 03.21.19	Mezzanine is totally a 5, and Animals
Flashmobba 03.21.19	low end and ok computer should be no brainers
TheMightyScoop 03.21.19	soundtracks for the blind isn't the top contender for swans
StrikeOfTheBeast 03.21.19	Quite a few of these are 5's tbh
Jadmin 03.21.19	Yeah Modal Soul is better than 31, imo. 17 and 34 are 5s though.
twlight 03.21.19	10,28,49,53 are definitely
DamnVanne 03.21.19	There are So many 5s On this here list
teamster 03.21.19	3 is a 5 for no other reason than The Last Baron.
dedex 03.21.19	Same feeling for Flaming Lips. And yes Animals is a 5
Demon of the Fall 03.21.19	I have a bunch of stuff I need to sift through and potentially promote. Taking my sweet time over doing so. Some great releases here.
LebowskiRams 03.21.19	TPAB was an instant 5 for me, and OK Computer really grew into that
Doctuses 03.21.19	steve reich is a try hard
onionbubs 03.22.19	5 everything
Dewinged 03.22.19	Check Nivhek if you are enjoying Grouper (same person, different name). And you may dig Anna Von Hausswolff.
OminousGargoyle 04.05.19	Deathcon, LYSFLATH, To Be Kind and Filosofem if you ask me (I know nobody is). The rest are pretty good, but not a 5.
bigguytoo9 05.13.19	Crack The Skye = a 1 rating.
J() Alexander 05.13.19	1.0 everything.
Bedex 05.13.19	Accurate, thanks for opening my eyes buddy Nivhek was great, been jamming AvH since I saw her live as opener for Refused yeee I dig her stuff Also cheers to everybody for the recs and entirely diverging opinions
budgie 05.13.19	remission is for sure a 5. i mean i don't have it 5'd but it's a 5. same with 21.
CugnoBrasso 05.13.19	We'd be great friends
J() Alexander 05.13.19	No, but for real, 1.0 Willim Bsinski, he's trash. And if you're going to 5.0 any of these, 5.0 Choirs of the Eye or Red.
R4zor3dge 05.13.19	Joy of Motion > Madness of Many Section 80 is definitely underrated.
Bedex 05.13.19	I f*cking love Remission and don't understand why it is rated so low here, but I've actually only ever jammed it a few times I need to listen to it more Basinski is a babe
budgie 05.13.19	yeah remission being 3.8 while leviathan is 4.2 is a little strange, they're not really dissimilar. i'd say remission is overall more consistent
Bedex 05.13.19	You know between JoM and tMoM (lol) the one that wins is usually the one I listened to most recently I really can't decide Cugno my man ye
Bedex 05.13.19	I agree man I mean get that the community maybe prefers the slightly proggier Leviathan but they're def not that far apart
Meridiu5 05.13.19	5 everything [2]
Source 05.13.19	nothin potential about 5 or 49
Bedex 05.14.19	49 is probably the one I've listened to the most on this list and yet I'm still hesitant to 5 it I am very particular about my 5's
budgie 05.14.19	5 isn't a 5 chuckles
Bedex 05.14.19	https://media.giphy.com/media/xT0xeJpnrWC4XWblEk/giphy.gif
Source 05.14.19	budgie...
MotokoKusanagi 05.14.19	51 is definitely a 5, especially when you consider it from within the genre imo
Hawks 05.14.19	4, 6, 9, 10 and 20 are easy 5’s bro, bump em ahrd. Also props for 61. m/
LelandAB 05.14.19	5 Panopcticon immediately
Bedex 05.14.19	51 is for sure the best album of its genre that I've ever jammed, but also I jammed like three so I need more Hawks there is no such thing as an easy 5 for me man they all take me ages 61 is massively underrated f*cking brilliant record, chilled me to the bone Leland I won't just because you spelled it incorrectly hehe
J() Alexander 05.14.19	"I need some piano stuff in my 5's" There's a lot of options much better than Satie, you know, Debussy, Beethoven, Ravel, Chopin, Mozart, Schubert, Lizst, Scriabin, Schumann, Albéniz... The list is pretty long.
LelandAB 05.14.19	Oh god damn it, okay 5 Panopticon immediately. Also great on your list, Cult of Luna. Highway is a wonderful album.
Bedex 05.15.19	Agree for the piano stuff, 62 is more of a placeholder than anything if I'm honest even though it's guud CoL have an incredibly solid discog they don't have a single weak album. I'm jamming the new EP right now actually. But yeah SAtH and Salvation would probably be my top picks, maybe with Mariner? Also you won't peer pressure me into 5'ing anything hey spelling won't save u
StrikeOfTheBeast 05.15.19	2 blew my expectations. I knew Mastodon was highly revered, but I didn't expect to love their debut.
Bedex 05.15.19	Update: new CoL slaps hard. That outro man 2 is bomb I'm glad to see it getting some love. It gets right at you from the get-go with that dinosaur riff
J() Alexander 05.15.19	I recommend Debussy if you like Satie, listen to this recording made by Pascal Roge of his work: https://www.prestomusic.com/classical/products/7924712--debussy-the-solo-piano-works It's on Spotify, idk about other places. I'd recommend you his 12 etudes (my favorite of his works) but if you aren't into classical music I don't think you'll appreciate them well.
Bedex 05.15.19	Yeah I love Debussy's works, I've listened to most of his pieces albeit not this particular recording I definitely am into classical music (with the broader tag definition this website uses that is) but have not recently been listening to as much of it as I would like for various reasons, hence it's near total absence in my ratings and in this list. Happy to hear more recs
Demon of the Fall 05.15.19	I imported my ratings into Excel (geek alert) and found that I have 96 4.5s after a couple of recent promotions, yet I still only have 22 5s. Your list has inspired me to finally embark on an old quest, to face these releases off against each other in bid to earn the promotion. I can't imagine not being able to hit at least 30 5s, that sounds like a decent number. Nice list btw, some great stuff here.
DoofDoof 05.15.19	I have five of these 5'd so yeah - bump 'em
Demon of the Fall 05.15.19	After a quick scan I've got 8 4.5s and 2 5s here.
Bedex 05.15.19	I've been meaning to pull data off sput and do some nifty analyses on it for a while now but haven't gotten around doing it, could be fun That sounds like a cool endeavour man, 4.5's tournament for the promotion I like the idea. Eight 5's is still a fair lot though, especially if you make it a point not to 5 albums just to reach the number. Hope you find them! This list is quite broad by the way, a lot of these are in the back of my mind but they're not just about to get 5'd by any means. The closest to a 5 rn would be 17 and 39, but that varies month to month Doof wait no you don't which ones
Demon of the Fall 05.15.19	Oh yeah I won’t force 5s, I’ve just gotten stuck in a rut as far as promotion is concerned. I’m convinced some of my 4.5s are worthy if I change my mentality ever so slightly, it’s just a reasonable adjustment I intend on making. Promoted my first ‘new’ 5/5 in ages a few days back, so it can be done.
budgie 05.15.19	bedex you should 5 deux arabesques: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Fle2CP8gR0
Bedex 05.15.19	Same Demon I've been in a 5 drought for a while now, my last promotion was Basinski and that was practically a year ago. Which is part of the reason why I made this list in the first place in an effort to make definitive decisions regarding whether or not to bump these albums to 5's Deux Arabesques is gorgeous yes, I might jam it later today to decide if it makes this list or not actually
user 05.15.19	>>Basinski is almost certainly going to get at least another 5.0 from me. The question is, which one? all of them
DoofDoof 05.15.19	My 5's from this list are: - Radiohead 'Ok Computer' - Slint 'Spiderland' - Pink Floyd 'Animals' - Swans 'Soundtracks' - Sigur Ros 'Takk' - Miles Davis 'Kind of Blue' 4.5's are: - Moon Shaped Pool - Mezzanine - Lift Yr Skinny Fists - Leaves Turn Inside You - ( ) So some great stuff here
Bedex 05.15.19	See as much as I like Basinski's work it would feel wrong to see him get more 5's from me than Agalloch or Pink Floyd. But a second one sure why not Thanks Doof, props for Takk I don't think it gets enough love here especially compared to Agaetis
AnimalsAsSummit 05.15.19	check out Dom and Roland
DoofDoof 05.15.19	'Thanks Doof, props for Takk I don't think it gets enough love here especially compared to Agaetis' I prefer Takk and ( ) to Agaetis which is half amazing songs, half a little bit too twee/precious for my tastes
Bedex 05.15.19	Thanks Summit, looks interesting. It's hard to find DnB with more than 5 ratings on here. Might jam it on bandcamp later on Doof I agree, the middle part of Agaetis is especially subpar for me compared to ( ) and Takk. Problem is it also has a couple of my very favourite Sigur Ros songs, particularly Svefn g Englar - I love that track to a point where I don't have to look up how to spell it
dedex 05.15.19	check out Alpha Wann mofo
Demon of the Fall 05.15.19	I can’t believe people are criticising Agaetis in here, greatest album of all time.
DoofDoof 05.15.19	Are you a garden pixie?
Zorg 05.15.19	The Fat of the Land is a 5, that's it.
Bedex 05.15.19	dedex hakuna your tatas I'm merely saying that Agaetis is more or less the least consistent albums in the perfect Takk- ( ) - Agaetis trilogy. Highest ups for me and lowest downs in contrast Zorg finally someone mentions that album it is such a jammm
encomium 05.15.19	damn do you have anything 5'ed?
Bedex 05.15.19	I was actually thinking of making a list for my 5's too just to have them in a pretty list with the artwork
user 05.16.19	>>See as much as I like Basinski's work it would feel wrong to see him get more 5's from me than Agalloch or Pink Floyd. I don't mean to be rude but comparing william basinski to agalloch is like comparing william basinski to fucking agalloch man fuckin contrabass playin mandolin-ass woodland elf folk band fuck man
deathschool 05.16.19	Basinski annihilates Agolloch.
user 05.16.19	thank you christian I can always count on you
J() Alexander 05.16.19	Comparing almost anyone to B*sinski is wrong tbh, only some people deserve that kind of harsh insult.
deathschool 05.16.19	Everyone else looks insignificant in comparison, yeah
user 05.16.19	u better watch your johann sebastian bach with those fighting words
user 05.16.19	don't make me call the tape loop boys
J() Alexander 05.16.19	The comment was better with just "bach" tbh.
J() Alexander 05.16.19	Bsinski be like: "I'm an Amrican composer."
user 05.16.19	to be honest it was always supposed to be his full name I just couldn't remember if johann had one or two n's
J() Alexander 05.16.19	Fucking Am*ricans.
user 05.16.19	but I'm french
J() Alexander 05.16.19	That's fine, I just wanted to insult Am*ricans.
Demon of the Fall 05.16.19	'Are you a garden pixie?' No, I'm clearly a Cacodemon numbskull. Demons from hell can't appreciate a little Sigur Ros now and then? I find that offensive. Demonist.
DoofDoof 05.16.19	'Demonist.' Disney just called and I've been fired for my history of writing demonist 'jokes' - I am so sorry, I deserve this.
Demon of the Fall 05.16.19	Well I can't say it wasn't deserved, you should be more careful in future.
Bedex 05.16.19	Stop fighting over Babesinski boys Agalloch and Floyd are my oldest 5's so they have the emotional factor going on for them, good ol' William can't do much against that that's all The comment was better with just "bach" tbh [2]
user 05.16.19	if I was 12 and it was 2004 I would have the perfect insult for Agalloch
Bedex 05.16.19	In 2004 with Pale Folklore and The Mantle their full-length discog was untouchable my friend, no amount of sass will change my mind on that hey
user 05.17.19	Swagalloch
Bedex 05.17.19	Brutal, I stand corrected
dedex 05.17.19	Swagalloch putain
Bedex 05.17.19	Moustaches Against The Grain
Bedex 06.26.19	Just saw 3 played live in San Francisco today, what a fucking blast. Battle of the Gods.
Morningrise767 06.26.19	Crack the Skye is a 5. And yeah, Animals is definitely a 5 for sure!
Bedex 06.26.19	I'll try to make my mind this Winter when I go through this whole list in depth. The Skye live set certainly tilted me in favour of 5'ing it
Source 03.28.20	you still need to 5 human it's sitting there waiting to be 5d so hard
JohnnyoftheWell 03.28.20	Fuck, this list is long. Agaetis is the only Sigur Ros in the 5 ballpark imo, but a worthwhile pick Choirs of the Eye is the hardest 5 that ever there was, why have you not 5'd it yet -_- also Spiderland!!
Storm In A Teacup 03.28.20	I need another year with Pimp A Butterfly before I could possibly 5 it.
Bedex 03.29.20	@johnny I listened to the three albums up here recently, and while usually I agree with you in this last listen Takk felt like the strongest contender! Agaetis always looses me a bit in the middle a lot of these want a 5 from me aaa but i'm picky
Demon of the Fall 03.29.20	Agaetis is definitely a 5/5, agreed with Johnny boy.
BenThatsMyJamin 03.29.20	Nothing by Mastodon should ever be considered a 5
KaNe00 03.29.20	Very good list! 6,17,20,28(Plans maybe?),31,43,49,58 are all amazing. First - where's Symbolic? or is it a 5 already? Second - Where's Kid A?
Trifolium 03.29.20	Bedex did you ever hear DJ Krush? I see you enjoy DJ Shadow, they're from the exact same period/school and even collaborated in the early 90s. Check Krush or Strictly Turntablized and thank me later, the guy's a genius.
Bedex 03.29.20	@Kane I'm glad to see some love for Grouper dude! I owe Symbolic a new listen before I put it on this list, I haven't given it a spin in too long a while. Kid A I just forgot lol just added it @Trif I have!! Remember I told you he was playing Amsterdam! I heard some of his solo albums and that album he did with that saxophonist whose name I can't put my finger on, but I don't think I've heard Strictly Turntablized so I'll give that one a try
Bedex 03.29.20	By the way I am working on this guys there is a 5.0 update list coming but it won't be before a few months
Trifolium 03.29.20	Oh duuuuh, you totally did. The sun must have melted my brain, oops. Yeah the Toshinori Kondo one (with the saxophone) is goooood. And Turntablized too. Well, I'm madly in love with his whole discog so it's no surprise that I'd say that of course, but still.
Bedex 03.29.20	haha we're not used to this much sun in our low countries are we, but yeah I will give Turntabulized a listen for sure! I remember loving all of the material I heard from him, although (don't hit me) not quite 5.0 material
Trifolium 03.29.20	Oh yeah, feel the same way. For me, he has one 5.0 (Kakusei), many 4.5s and 4.0s.
Demon of the Fall 03.29.20	I keep intending to update my 5s, been 6 months or so now (lol?). It’s slow progress.
