ITT: Albums that used to get discussed before this board died

>>127151196 (OP)
This album is alright, but it gets overrated because it's Japanese.
>>127151488
>>127151497
Memes.

>>127151531
Do you also associate Taj Mahal Travellers and Flower Travellin' Band? I can't think of one without remembering the other even though they are so different just because both are Japanese 70s bands with travel in the name.

>>127151497
>>127151638
I don't miss these.

>>127151656
I don't remember this one.

>>127151510
Take it back. Faust is one of my favorite albums. It mogs Lumpy Gravy and the second half of Tago Mago at combining musique concrete with rock. The folk sections are beautiful and the ending is one of my all time favorites.

>>127151755
This one was based. I played a song off of it for a music class assignment in high school and everyone acted like I played something mindblowingly weird.

>>127151755
Only good album ITT

Do zoomers hate neutral milk hotel? desu I havent regularly browsed /mu/ in years

>>127151763
>I don't remember this one.
It's pretty obscure, not surprising you haven't heard of it.

>>127151795
>desu I havent regularly browsed /mu/ in years
Did Ozzy bring you back?

>>127151795
The cult surrounding it has definitely disappeared. At least here. I don't get much out of listening to them any more. When I was 17 I met a girl who owned a singing saw because she loved Neutral Milk Hotel. I don't think girls like that exist in 2025.

>>127151821
Sunn, Earth and Boris are also casualties. Drone doom drew big threads on old /mu/.

>>127151770
>I played a song off of it for a music class assignment in high school and everyone acted like I played something mindblowingly weird.
based

>>127151840
Nah, although that is a shame. I've been slowly slipping into a depression again, and depression is typically what brings me back to 4chan.

>>127151867
That stuff was actually garbage, thoughbeit.

>>127151510
The "It's overrated because it's Japanese" crowd fixates on things being Japanese more than the people who actually listen to it lmao.

>>127151908
Japan has the second largest music industry on earth and there are good Japanese artists in almost every western genre. I've genuinely never been into weebshit or idealized Japan but Japanese music has always been a big part of my library.

>>127151908
There's some good Japanese bands. And Flower Travellin Band isn't bad or anything.
But you have to admit that Japanese shit often gets overrated.

>>127151488
I miss this one but it was bound to get old. Not an album you can relisten to very often without burning out.

Soliloquy for Lilith
Coil in general
Bjork
Bathory

Just some stuff that popped into my head as we used to discuss a lot but no longer do.

>>127151962
What artists do you think are overrated purely because they're japs just curious

I don't remember this album ever being discussed here but I found it recently and it gave me such old /mu/ vibes. Really pretty and creative Japshit ambient pop. Feels like something I would have downloaded from a mediafire link 15 years ago.

>>127152026
I remember the Rites of Spring threads but not Saccharine Trust.

>>127152013
Midori
Fishmans
to some extent Boris

>>127151901
Great one.

>>127151901
I remember more Dragging a Dead Deer Up a Hill. I had a crush on Liz Harris. Love dark eye bags.

>>127152232
I saw this guy live in a church it was sweet

>>127152154
Fair enough. Though I don't think their music is terrible, I can agree on Fishmans their "canonization" is largely the result of an astroturfing campaign on RYM.

>>127151196 (OP)
Eric Johnson baby

/thread

>>127153878
For me, it's Ghost

Basically any DG

>>127151510
>>127151908
Nah I reckon it's true. I used to listen to Satori heaps when I was a teenager and I think the jap thing had a lot to do with it cause revisiting it really isn't anything special especially considering how good some of the other similar heavy rock of the time is.

Shinki is a different story though that stuff is great. Also >>127151531 is pretty out of this world.

Thing Japanese thing is 100% real though

>>127151196 (OP)
Sung Tongs imo

>>127153905
Semi related but I've always felt like TMS is a shockingly ordinary album by their standards, definitely not unique or interesting enough to warrant being one of their most acclaimed records.

>>127151755
Yeah, this.

>>127153990
>Thing Japanese thing is 100% real though
Some bands live up to the hype (like GISM), but yeah it's true.

>>127151196 (OP)
>>127151488
>>127151497
I thought this was going to be a thread about a specific kind of album cover for a second

>>127153990
>it really isn't anything special
Name a single progressive metal album before Satori. One.

It's been a while since I've seen a serious thread about Merzbow. We used to have them. Someone would post Pulse Demon and then someone would say they preferred Flare Gun and then someone would explain that noise is actually psychedelia and then someone would say they prefer early Merzbow which is tape loop oriented and say Memorial Gadgets is a musique concrete masterpiece and then someone would say Antimonument is better.

>>127153857
No one ever talked about Eric Johnson.

>>127151962
>>127153990
>>127154843
>dude need I mind you it's Japanese? That's cool and all but this band is from Japan lol. Did I say Japan already? by the way, Japan. Japan!
why are you so obsessed with Japan? OP never mentioned Japan

People loved this shit for some reason.

>>127156229
Folk punk was a mistake

Incandescent Highways, no?
>>127156229
Still love it

>>127153871
ENTRY A TIMERESS PRACE

>>127156229
Yeah I remember. The love kind of died out around 2015/16 for obvious reasons and their albums since Knife Man haven't been as good too.

>>127152258
I saw Liz Harris live in a church. Amazing sound.

>>127156229
I picked up AJJ again recently. Cant maintain was my fav back in the day.

>>127157245
I think the new albums are good too. Jsut not really folk punk anymore they stopped wanting to be faster NMH so bad and started wanting to be other old E6 bands like elf power and apples in stereo. I get alot more neo psych or psych pop from the newer stuff. And i think its mostly just caus they got bored of doing accoustic only or acoustic + fuzz guitar. So now there is more room for building our weirder and more varied shit.

We don't talk about Can enough any more

>>127152026
fuck yeah. forgot about this one. thanks anon!
