08.12.13 | dont start. sputnik has shitty taste

PitchforkArms
08.12.13 | Shit my comment didn't post. These are some albums that I have only heard good things about. I want to know which I should go for first. |
BlueW
08.12.13 | 9 would prolly be the easiest to like |
climactic
08.12.13 | how young lol cause i wasnt into music when any of these came out either except maybe 9 |
tommygun
08.12.13 | all of em |
grish
08.12.13 | 1, 3, 5, 6 |
ChuckyTruant
08.12.13 | King Crimson is where to start |
tommygun
08.12.13 | bear in mind that 'influential' doesn't always mean 'best'... just listen to as much stuff as you can get your hands on and
form your own tastes and interests |
PitchforkArms
08.12.13 | Climactic , more or less, I just haven't had the exposure to a lot of stuff so it's been hard finding stuff |
grish
08.12.13 | "King Crimson In the Court of the Crimson King
More leaning towards a 4, but this was one of the most underwhelming albums ever. The hype is very unmerited. Just because it was the beginning of something, doesn't make it the best of something. But mad respect for starting what you started King Crimson, I just don't personally think your material is very exceptional." |
grish
08.12.13 | that was for chucky, mainly |
PitchforkArms
08.12.13 | And chuckytruant, I listened to ITCOTKC, and I liked it but frankly, I was quite underwhelmed. That's more of a perspective thing though. |
climactic
08.12.13 | anyways all of these are albums you should hear....i personally think 5 and 6 are overrated but these are all essential |
PitchforkArms
08.12.13 | Yeah I feel you man. Odds are that I will enjoy all of these, they just wouldn't have the same effect on me. I've developed my tastes, I just want to listen to the albums that people on here love, because for the most part I agree with people, I just haven't had the exposure (or time to listen to) a lot of it |
PitchforkArms
08.12.13 | And sometimes with bands with huge acclaimed discogs, it's hard to try and tackle it |
ChuckyTruant
08.12.13 | If you don't dig ITCOTKC keep trying.
It is the first step |
PitchforkArms
08.12.13 | No I enjoyed it a lot don't get me wrong. I should probably bump it up to a 4. And I understand all of the hype surrounding it, but it really is a perspective thing. It wasn't the first proggy album a heard, so I couldn't really say that it was a world-changer for me |
ChuckyTruant
08.12.13 | I don't know what you are getting at with this "perspective" thing. But KC was about the 8th prog band I started listening to, so I don't know what you are trying to say. |
PitchforkArms
08.12.13 | Like, I think it's so highly acclaimed due to the fact that it basically birthed the genre and was a huge gateway for people getting into the genre. I had always heard of it, but never listened, even after I started listening to prog. And especially after listening to more modern stuff, ITCOTCK isn't as groundbreaking as it would've been if I listened to it before I knew what prog was |
ChuckyTruant
08.12.13 | The sad part is you are incorrect. The reason why it has a monumental 4.5 average is because it so groundbreaking.
It's okay you are young, you will learn eventually :)
How old are you anyway? |
PitchforkArms
08.12.13 | 17. And I totally get it, I just wanted it to click with me more.
|
ChuckyTruant
08.12.13 | Just listen to it more. No prog clicks on the first listen. That's why it's prog.
And well you aren't that young really. I'm only 18 |
PitchforkArms
08.12.13 | Haha, good shit man. The general population on here is a bit older. And I know I know. |
climactic
08.12.13 | 18 here as well
most guys on here tend to be like 20-25 |
ChuckyTruant
08.12.13 | ^
Kill is like 73 tho |
climactic
08.12.13 | lol yea and sonic is 52 |
ChuckyTruant
08.12.13 | Yup. Nag is seriously like 40 something I think. |
Penlord
08.12.13 | easily the best here is godspeed. Death is okay but not close to the caliber |
ChuckyTruant
08.12.13 | Lol^ |
climactic
08.12.13 | penlord is lame |
ChuckyTruant
08.12.13 | As if you can even compare Death and Godspeed, are you fucking stupid |
PitchforkArms
08.12.13 | Hahaha , but seriously when it comes to listening to music, a year is such a long time. |
ChuckyTruant
08.12.13 | Agreed |
PitchforkArms
08.12.13 | A few years ago, looking back, i cant believe i likes some of the shit i did, but thats just how it works. i feel like recently, i fell into genres and groups that have some staying power. Like this site has such a distaste for bands like Between the buried and me, but they got me into the prog scene and turned me on to lots of modern prog. |
ChuckyTruant
08.12.13 | Yeah their are some loud spoken members here who dislike BtBaM a lot but I mean look at their average ratings. Really high for the most part |
PitchforkArms
08.12.13 | Truetrue. Love the shit out of that band. And PTH, the contortionist, the ocean, Dillinger, TSF, mastodon. That's just kinda how it went. I got into the modern stuff because the bands were somewhat linked |

08.12.13 | "17. And I totally get it, I just wanted it to click with me more."
wow i was expecting you to say like 12 or something lol |
climactic
08.12.13 | theres a 12 year old kid on youtube who reviews underground sludge metal and doom and all this crazy shit i forget the name |
PitchforkArms
08.12.13 | Haha please remember, I need to see this |
Kman418
08.12.13 | oh man i remember seeing a review from that kid a while ago and i was just like man u go kid u go |

08.12.13 | He must have good parents |
climactic
08.12.13 | his dad prob just tells him what to say |
PitchforkArms
08.12.13 | Right on sauce. If something is really too bad for me to listen, I don't, but I have a really deep appreciation for musicianship and intellectual thought so I can give most things a good shot. I don't sacrifice my personal tastes though. |
TheSupernatural
08.12.13 | I've only listened to 8 9 and 10 on here.
8 is great metalcore but maybe a tough first listen.
9 is pretty accessible. Half the album is decent and half the album is mindblowingly good (Limousine, Luca, You Won't Know are the top songs)
10 is very dissonant and fun. If you haven't listened to anything like it before, it may take a bit of adjusting |

08.12.13 | " 9 is pretty accessible. Half the album is decent and half the album is mindblowingly good (Limousine, Luca, You Won't Know are the top songs)"
lol you didn't even mention Degausser and Jesus |
MosesMalone
08.12.13 | Out of this list Opeth is the only band I cared for growing up. I knew about Death and Atheist but couldn't really stand them (still can't), and of course I found Brand New to be ultra-lame until just a couple of months ago. But you don't have to have been there to understand the awesomeness of the music. You just gotta jam it, simple as that. As for the undoubtedly loved, I can assure you that I have no doubt in my mind when I say I love Boris and That Handsome Devil more than I love most people. |
PitchforkArms
08.12.13 | I definitely get it. And I hear only good things about boris |
Trebor.
