I didn't like it at all
There is also practically nothing to write about the album itself, so there is no desire at all to even spend a lot of time on it. just another slowcore album that was at the origin of the genre. that's the truth, all the information about them is very default to the last degree.
I don't remember the songs. there is also no desire to return, despite the fact that the music of the past few albums as a slowcore is much more interesting and worthy of ... read more
the absolute PEAK. Finally, after a long time, something flew into the challenge that really touched me somehow.
The emotions from listening were almost the same as from "Ágætis byrjun" by Sigur Rós. a dizzying experience from every song in this album
A rather unusual album in which the vocalist's emotionality remains constant for 41 minutes. It's as if the guy is expressing absolute hopelessness and depression. I found it boring listening to practically every track being recitative, but there are some very positive moments.
the album lies at the origins of slow and sadcore. mega couldn't properly listen and evaluate for a long time. While I was preparing for the article, I came across one of the headlines on the topic of discussing this album, which read: "The first album by Red House Painters. Listen to me. Think it over. Show your thoughts/stories/analysis/feelings/questions, not reviews. And please don't rate it."
Therefore, today, for the first time, I will not rate the album.
The market did not solve, he stupidly did not understand. The album is a pure diamond of strange sound and combination of wild shapes. The industry couldn't edit it, it just couldn't even digest it. It feels like the album is some kind of bone in the throat of the mainstream music industry. Even in 1996, he didn't go anywhere and the guys didn't wake up with a wheelbarrow of money, with incredible recognition.
A great example of musicians with a capital letter. I'm sure ... read more
Modern fans and people of a bygone era are lucky to love a band like Fugazi. Of course, most groups have a right to exist, and some of them can do whatever they want. But where have you seen a band that is so true to its principles, playing post-hardcore?
They are worth appreciating: for their pure history; for the way they relate to their work and those who love and listen to them; for the lack of monetary absorption, and most importantly for rejecting the benefits of the lives of rock ... read more
69 love songs, and Stephin Merritt wrote every one. TMG can rightfully be considered his author's project, which still exists. The Legend of Boston.
This is the longest album in terms of time - 3 hours of all shades of love torment. The album was originally conceived as an opera, and here you can find its echoes. There is also the pop style of the 60s, chanson, cabaret, folk, synthpop, country. The concept is super cool here, and this album is best listened to with discs at once. The ... read more
Yo La Tengo is important not because of complex ideas and technical tricks, but because of the choice of sounds, pauses, intonations, and oddly enough because of what they don't do. They are a very good example of quiet authority. Yo La Tengo is a rare case of a band that has not radically changed its values and turned into a brand parody of itself. Probably one of the most important things they show is the realization that music is a craft and a form of life, not a career race.
To be conservative, '77 LIVE sounds like an overloaded bassbust porridge of sounds, and it's definitely not recommended to listen to it for a long time because you can get your hearing hooked and possibly damage the equipment.
But under a special mood, I was fiercely hooked, I took it off, only telling myself that it was perfect and I just wanted to listen to this noise.
The usual "unusual" music that needs time to open up (or it's just not yours). One of the main indie albums that gave a new look to a lot of musicians. Professional and beautiful.
A cool band that is not afraid to violate acceptable musical and lyrical norms. This is exactly the kind of music I imagined when I thought why isn't there a track where there will just be random sounds? Only here it's not just a track, but the whole album, and that's what's amazing about it. These are very unusual and frightening sound forms that I can't remember their analog.
The sound is full of profound experiments that have been overtaken by the advent of digital technology. The album unfolds especially well when you understand the nuances of Reznor's approach, and then his music takes on a whole new dimension.
It's really strange to me that no one's talking about this album. It's cool, beautiful, and complete addition to the band's trilogy. It's incredibly immersive, it's very powerful. It really touched me.
Initially, the album seemed rather boring to me. After a while, my opinion didn't change much, but I realized that this was a very special and cool job. It fits the mood, and if you get into it perfectly, then this album blossoms. Unfortunately, I couldn't fully understand it, and I liked it much less than The Lonesome Crowded West album.
An album of total atmosphere that you really want to find yourself in. Dreary, angry and brooding teenage texts that you want to immerse yourself in. An album with incredible charm.
It's a very beautiful album that has had a profound impact on the entire band, becoming a legend in the entire world of music.
Cool experiments and genius.
