Hot Take/ Musical Confession Thread!

Edit: It is probably my favorite, but come on, There is Nothing Wrong with Love and Keep it Like a Secret are great albums.

Damn straight! Keep It Like a Secret is my fav but Perfect From Now On and Nothing Wrong With Love are both great also.

TINWWL is ok, KILAS did absolutely nothing for me. PFNO was a statement, the sprawling songs combined Martsch’s anguished vocals, lyrics, and guitar work made for an experience.

This might not even be a hot take but I'll say it anyways.

Dream pop > Shoegaze.

Best Dream Pop album(s)?

 

[dhodo]

Souvlaki (yes it's shugaze too but it's way more dream pop.)
There are way more amazing albums in dream pop than in shoegaze cause it's easier to blend with other genres.

For some reason that album has never clicked with me. I need to try again. Same with Cocteau twins.

Just going off of Iridescence and the snippets from their next album, Brockhampton fell off after they kicked Ameer / after Ameer left.
It feels like the majority of the soul that was there in the SATURATION projects is gone now.

I like Iridescence about as much as the trilogy, but I do pick up on what you're saying. I don't think it's just because Ameer's voice is gone, that happened during such a crazy time for them and I think it was all of it that's had this effect.

Did you read this interview Kevin recently did?

Brockhampton's Kevin Abstract On Making Art to Survive, Therapy with Friends, and Forgiveness

For Pride month, GQ called up playwright Jeremy O. Harris to sit down with the young leader of the rap collective for a raw, far-ranging conversation about creating art while queer, family, forgiveness, and the trickiness of mining personal trauma.

Signing to RCA was a massive decision and at this stage it seems like maybe they weren't ready and it was all too much change. Like I said Iridescence is fine, but it's not like getting to make it at Abbey Road really made it a better album; it wasn't really just this group of guys who met on KTT making cool music in the house they all lived in anymore.

 

[BoilerRhapsody]

Ian spoke on living in what he calls his "Lauryn Hill moment" here

I hadn't heard that, it's such a strange and shitty situation to be in. The biggest worry when they signed seemed to be that they'd 'sold out', this is probably an even worse outcome though.

The skits on Wyclef's The Carvinal were pretty solid as a whole. A bit jarring when you revisit them now but...Went along with the album. But yeah, most skits are whatever.

 

[Joe Mac]

Are you implying that Sk8ter Boi isnt a good song? Because then I'm saying see you later boy.

Why’d you have to go and make things so complicated...

 

[Joe Mac]

This might not even be a hot take but I'll say it anyways.

Dream pop > Shoegaze.

Loveless > Any Dream Pop

 

[Joe Mac]

Not a hot take, but a deep, dark confession:

I still buy CDs.

See Fresh Grabs. That’s not even remotely dark, it’s a great way of picking up great music thst isn’t worth the vinyl price, particularly second hand!

 

[Carden]

Dälek > Death Grips and thats only having heard one Dälek album

I love Dälek but I'm not sure how they're comparable to Death Grips, they don't even remotely sound similar

 

[Count_Vader]

I'd rather listen "I'm With You" by her then anything by Arctic Monkeys, Adele, The Killers, 95% of Sub Pop, The Darkness or any number of next big things coming out of the UK.

Isn't that the one where she rhymes night with night?

 

[Count_Vader]

Are you implying that Sk8ter Boi isnt a good song? Because then I'm saying see you later boy.

I'm not implying it. It's fairly obvious that it's a godawful track. It's one of the worst of the aughts.

 

[Viking Dan]

RHCP are total garbage and have written exactly 0 songs that any human being should voluntarily listen to and being forced to listen to the entire catalog should replace the death penalty in this Country, as it is more of a punishment than even the most painful death could ever be.

FIFY.

 

[TenderLovingKiller®]

FIFY.

Yeah, but “Soul 2 Squeeze” and “Under The Bridge” are kinda fun though.

 

[TransformerMan]

See Fresh Grabs. That’s not even remotely dark, it’s a great way of picking up great music thst isn’t worth the vinyl price, particularly second hand!

That's the exact attitude I had but reversed in the late 90's/early 00's. I used to explore so much music in the vinyl dollar bin during that time, it was truly a golden age for my wallet.

 

[Bohnjaggs]

Yeah, but “Soul 2 Squeeze” and “Under The Bridge” are kinda fun though.

"Soul To Squeeze" and "Breaking The Girl" for me.
