Discord Album Exchange - Week 2

Submission from @sprainposting

Honestly I think this made me realize that I don’t really care for Idm. The only album from the genre that I’ve really loved is Selected Ambient Works Volume 1. I’m not really used to the genre at all so a lot of this album just sounded like random noises to me. It honestly kind of annoyed me for a lot of the albums runtime. There were a few moments that I did enjoy however. I genuinely enjoyed the first song and thought the second song was decent. After that though it just kind of fell off a cliff for me. Really wish I could’ve liked this more and hope that I can get a better tolerance for idm and come back to this later.

for example, i don't like hard rock and i don't like death metal but i'm not a moron who goes and writes negative reviews of Slipknot and other similar bands. i'm amazed by your courage to demonstrate your limited ability of brain to understand this album and other works of Autechre. where do you get so much arrogance????

And 22 sheeps swayed by you but I'm sure at least 1 of them can enjoy this album much more than you convinced

@Normanalee it was for an album swap

@Normanalee it was also one of my first interactions with the genre so I didn’t know I didn’t really like it all that much yet. I didn’t go into this with the intention of hating on it and even then how is that a bad thing? People are allowed to not like albums.

@Normanalee "limited ability of brain"

"To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Autechre. The textures are extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of music theory, most of the enjoyment of the music will go over a typical listener's head. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these warped farts, to realise that they're not just farts- they represent a culture of highly capable and resilient listeners; a TRUE battle of artist and consumer. As a consequence people who dislike Autechre truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate the sheer clusterfuck of masterfully orginal beats that totally do have a glimpse of generative AI. Hideous? Perchance.
