pablo honey was better tbh
ban this sunnabitch
I agree actually
which one was creep
WHAT THE HELL AM I DOIN HEEEEEERYAAAAAA
in terms of radiohead albums, ok computer is one of the better ones but there are several i like more. and pablo honey is lame.
but i'm not really into radiohead like i used to be. still, i do like ok computer, i'll give it a listen now and then but if i suddenly get a radiohead craving i'm more likely to put on a different album

i'd rather listen to a new radiohead album than beat the shit outta felt but we can't all get what we want happydood;
i cant listen to radiohead anymore but i liked that album when i was younger
thom yorke put out a solo album in between in rainbows and hail to the thief and it was pretty good. but i also cant listen to that anymore either lol
Yay finally people realize that radio head is balls giggle;
Now everyone just needs to get over Neutral Milk Hotel
i've been over them tbh
i just listen to talk talk's last three albums though the first two are good albeit duran duran ripoffs
i definitely used to convince myself that i liked radiohead when i really just wanted to fit in with other people with "good music tastes"
that said i still really really like kid a and maybe in rainbows a bit
in rainbows was my favorite but i only listen to the beatles nowadays
In Rainbows is my favorite too, Kid A after that. Hail to the Thief is good too.

nah funeral aged pretty good. id say that about the rest of their albums tho.
i didn't get a cathartic release from listening to funeral. in fact i didn't feel anything from listening to it other than meh.
belongs in the garbaggio tbh
like i've heard testimonials claiming they speak to the "current generation" but i was 15 and they sounded like out of touch libbies to me
and they didn't do anything remarkably different from indie music at the time
i don't want to buy their music at all tbh considering their stance against edm

same, i still like funeral but not so much for their other albums
Ugh how do you guy all suck on bands' dicks for years and then suddenly come to the same conclusion that it's not that great. It's almost like you get your music opinions from other sources and copy them..................

I don't think it's meant to be cathartic
I still like all of Arcade Fire's albums. The Funeral is probably at the bottom for me other than their debut but it's still good. And I would disagree it's like other generic indie music, they are much better musicians than most of the indie scene; at the time particularly.

I don't think it's meant to be cathartic
umm it's an album with declared themes of death and acceptance why is that not so
i think early '90s madonna gave me more emotion
you can't really expect catharsis, otherwise it's not really genuine. i feel like it's also not really indicative of quality
let's hear your next discussion starter opinion c.mongler
i mean if it works for you it's okay
i'm just like i don't get the appeal. i think it's objectively cathartic for the band at least.
there's often this pretense about indie music that it's different from the mainstream in that it explores uncharted territory... and that it has a message
i didn't see either of the aforementioned common indie cliches from it so i guess you can say it's unique in that it's bland.
thus, i think it does indeed have something to do with the quality. are they better musicians? i think they're good at putting sentences together at the very least
ok, i'll admit that the arcade fire made me cry — out of boredom
eta: also as an additional comment to your first point about how shouldn't i expect catharsis: relistening to it, the album does sound quite contrived. let's appropriate exotic cultures and add some unusual instrumentation. maybe that's why i didn't feel it. the emotion didn't feel genuine. thank you kaz for helping me further rationalize why i hate the arcade fire.
np
bear in mind i never said i thought it was a great album, i just like it. and i never got any sort of cathartic feelings from it either, except maybe "wake up" which i used to get ~the feels~ from back in my early indie music days. but i still think the album is well-constructed in most ways and i still like it
but i will agree that the arcade fire in general is pretty contrived, especially in always trying to play on a listener's sense of childhood nostalgia
tbh i think one could feasibly semi-enjoy arcade fire (or really any artist such as britney jean spears) nowadays if they listened to it during a memorable period
like i wouldn't praise britney spears now, but ...baby one more time evoked the best times of my life. (i was going to use sugar ray at first but then i was like britney's better) even though it wasn't a good tune then/now.
my bloody valentine is the same thing for me. my mom listened to them a lot during my childhood before we had our internet connection, so i got memories associated with them too.
i think this sort of explains the continued popularity of the "classic rock" radio format (and the praise for arcade fire sort of mirrors the praise for the beatles)

this is hilariously true btw
Funeral is a v. good album, but Neon Bible is my personal favorite. Also really liked The Suburbs. Reflektor had a few good songs but is largely very forgettable
Funny enough I think my opinion on Arcade Fire is the same as Radiohead; I really like a lot of their music but don't really consider myself a big fan

to truly enjoy aphex twin, you have to stop listening to music with guitars
it's why the man behind aphex twin hated radiohead before it was cool to do so
honestly Aphex Twin's Richard D. James Album is just some mediocre beeps and boops
i wouldn't say mediocre
in all seriousness i don't "get" a lot of aphex twin but the stuff that i do enjoy i really enjoy and it is really unique compared to lots of other electronic music
i like uziq more though
aphex twin is v. much that and i enjoy other music of the sort
and this is not me being a contririan because like i listened to it before you found out about it on 4chin
it's unique in that it's extraordinarily banal

the whole acronym is pretty dumb. "intelligent dance music" is a poor way to categorize a genre that a. you can't dance to and b. is best enjoyed on psychedelics
although it does imply that edm is not intelligent which is kind of silly
honestly LCD Soundsystem's Sound of Silver is just a boring 30 year's diary set to average music imo
LCD soundsystem is pretty boring outside of dance yrself clean anyway

i know someone who paid like $120 for a vinyl copy of this album
as far as aphex twin goes it's a pretty good one but i've never been a fan of his, i just like some of his stuff casually
that'd be a cool album to have on vinyl but I wouldn't pay more than any other album lol
I think he's interesting because he is so varied. His ambient stuff is pretty sick
OK Computer is a fantastic album and Loveless is pretty close to masterpiece status.
I still haven't listen to the new Radiohead album but I'm lazy.
