/mu/ - Music

That's just, like, your opinion, man.

Although I do think Korn had legitimately quality moments.

>"classic rock" was largely a step down from rock and roll; punk rock and its offshoots helped set things straight

>ragtime and pre-World War II dance music are probably among the best popular music ever made

>huge '80s snare sounds were god tier

>disco and hair metal didn't suck

>guitars are a nice instrument and all, but the whole worshipful fanboy culture surrounding them is pretty gay

>lo-fi recording is best recording

>musicians getting upset over "piracy" and free downloads of their releases is stupid

>"good" hip-hop is usually only good relative to the rest of the genre

>>97231

They would have been a lot better with a less whiny vocalist.

>>97244

>"classic rock"

They didn't call it "classic rock". I take it you mean AOR and late 60s and 70s rock like Aerosmith and Foghat

>huge '80s snare sounds were god tier

>disco and hair metal didn't suck

Agreed

>lo-fi recording is best recording

Debatable. If you go out of your way to sound lo-fi for some indie cred gay shit, you're a pretentious untalented fag hoping the low fidelity can hide your poor musicianship.

>musicians getting upset over "piracy" and free downloads of their releases is stupid

>"good" hip-hop is usually only good relative to the rest of the genre

I don't think many would argue against these.

for a group that claims to be anti-establishment, rock fans sure are elitist

How are these exclusive?

>They didn't call it "classic rock". I take it you mean AOR and late 60s and 70s rock like Aerosmith and Foghat

I'm talking about a lot of the rock canon from that era in general. I tried to force myself to like that stuff in high school but later realized that most of it didn't actually do anything for me.

>Debatable. If you go out of your way to sound lo-fi for some indie cred gay shit, you're a pretentious untalented fag hoping the low fidelity can hide your poor musicianship.

I don't really know of anyone going lo-fi for indie cred, but it wouldn't surprise me if it became common with those "LO-FI HIP-HOP BEATS" video titles that appear so often on the front page of YouTube. I hope that's not the case, though.

>I don't think many would argue against these.

You'd be surprised.

>numerical ratings on music reviews are entirely pointless and misleading

>"sexy" music like Marvin Gaye and Barry White is the least sexy and above all cheesiest music I can think of

>Chad Kroeger's vocals aren't that bad

>lyrics that don't rhyme aren't innately bad as long as they don't break flow/structure

>>97244

>disco and hair metal didn't suck

I don't normally listen to hair metal so I can't really comment on that, but having been subjected to a lot of disco I've noticed that instrumentally it's pretty good. When vocals are added it feels pointless and annoying and detracts from the music. A least eurodance added glossy production to the vocals and didn't use outdated terms.

>guitars are a nice instrument and all, but the whole worshipful fanboy culture surrounding them is pretty gay

Agreed. A good bass line or drumbeat always stands out more to me.

>>97259

>>lyrics that don't rhyme aren't innately bad as long as they don't break flow/structure

Is this actually unpopular? The important thing about lyrics, as with poetry, is meter.

The Romantic era is my very least favorite period of classical music.

St. Anger's drum sound is good.

>>97268

what's wrong, baroque boy? scared you might feel something?

It wasn't too bad, but it could have been a lot better.

They shouldn't have mixed rap into it at all imo.

Just some downtuned guitars with atonal riffs and hoarse vocals would have sufficed.

I thought "Everything" by NIN was a really good song.

>>97247

>I don't think many would argue against these.

I would

I actually really like Yoko Ono's screeching vocal style.

>Albums are rarely ever unequivocally bad or good, and most reviews are just an overall score with the best and worst tracks taken into account

Hell, even The Beatles had their Revolution No. 9, which was an avant-garde PID-theorist's heaven and the aural form of modern art. Pink Floyd's The Wall - the same album that had "Another Brick in the Wall, Part 2" and "Comfortably Numb" also had "Vera" and "Bring the Boys Back Home". They're ok if you're listening to the whole album and I do mean whole, that includes When the Tigers Broke Free as they help to build the atmosphere around the character of Pink, but for casual listening they're awful and highlight the worst of Roger.

>Radio edits can be good, or potentially even superior to the original track if they have effort put into them

There are probably songs that you've heard in the past that you aren't even aware are the clean versions they're that much better than the originals - "Let's Get It Started" instead of "Let's Get Retarded" is a pretty good example that I can name off the top of my head.

>1999 - 2005 had a level of inter-genre camaraderie that has never happened since and will most likely never happen again

During those six years, there were really two choices in contemporary music; generic pop hits and the songs that tore them down. If you were even slightly interested in rap and whatever came out after grunge had run its course, chances are the Anger Management Tour was the highlight of your year. Artists you'd never expect frequently collaborated with one another, in particular the crazy fuck that's married to Dita Von Teese not saying his name because of the retard anon that's been spamming him these past couple of months appearing on tracks with the likes of DMX and Eminem. The "split" only really happened when rap started to become more conscious about the image rather than the message, and I guess you can blame 50 Cent for that.

Unpopular on /mu/ or unpopular in general? Because if it's the former, I unironically think boomer rock like Led Zeppelin is better than anything that's come out since.

genuine emo is not bad, the sweephair kids ruined it though.

I will make an exception for emo violence and genuine post-hardcore though

goregrind gets too much hate

harsh noise/power electronics is good, you're just too much of a pussy to enjoy it

The Doors and Creedence shouldn't be thrown into garbage because they're considered "dad rock"

riot grrl music is genuinely annoying and should be banned. dealing with a woman on PMS is enough, hearing it through music is why Elliot Rodger went on his spree.

what passes for indie rock these days is abysmally bad by mainstream standards

Lars Ulrich can drum, just because he was a lackey for Napster (douchey move) doesn't mean he automatically can't play drums.

NOFX would be better if a shooting took place at one of their own concerts. tit for tat. nothing more punk rock than killing your fans. he'd best GG Allin if that happened.

bandcamp censors artists that don't play into globalist capitalist infrastructure to keep the public unaware of "dangerous ideologies" this creates radicals

RII (Rock Identity Incel) should be a genre.

>>97312

Helmet was better as an AmRep noise rock band, a lot of Tom Hazelmeyer's roster was great af.

Neutral milk hotel is modest mouse tier hipster garbage no one that praises them gave a shit until five years too late after their garbage album was already played out by people that are actually into music and aren't completely blind to what's new heard it a million times by the hipster tastemakers that idiot faggots used to look up to in highschool and ride the coattails of years after because that pussy with the glasses got more pussy than you but was so "down to earth" that you still wanted to suck his cock clean of hipstette's cunt juice

No one here has ever seen a fight in a pit and no one here is actually into any fucking scene because /mu/ is the normalfaggot extremity of any imageboard it infests hey speaking of infest they're better than your favorite band fuck you I fucking hate /mu/

>>97343

I do agree. but I've been in Immolation and Angelcorpse pits so…

>>97348

How was immolation

Reinkaos was the fucking tits, in contrast to other extreme metal which evokes images of rural landscapes, this album had a really urban feel to it.

The part from 03:45 onwards is pure wreckage. It makes you want to floor it and blast through the city at night
