>My Bloody Valentine - Loveless
I personally found this album pretty boring, it was like listening to the music you'd find playing in the background of a diy hacks youtube video. The mix is pretty bad too, everything sounds like rock in 144p. Sometimes it's trance inducing dying beluga whale symphony. I don't really have a favourite, as they're all in essence the same sound and composition, but the ones that stood out most were "To Here Knows When", which sounded like an angle grinder ballad with a funky ending, and "I Only Said". This one had a dance-y, taunting and lively guitar which at times sounded like a brass instrument. Or at least I'm assuming it's a guitar, it could just be a synth messing with my mind, something that this album is very good at doing. Pair that taunting guitar/synth with those weeping distorted guitars in the background that sound as if they're in pain, and you have this unsettling dancey rhythm. Everything else on the album was pretty forgettable, boring, and unimpressive.
3/10

Do people actually enjoy this stuff? Be honest, please...

Should be in the archives. Kid A by Radiohead.

didn't care for picrel. I get that people compare animal collective's work to Pet Sounds a lot and I guess that's because of production techniques but I was really disappointed because what made Pet Sounds special for me wasn't just the layered production but the harmonies and 60's poppy voices over bittersweet lyrics. Picrel feels like it only took the production part.

It grows on you
You'll get it later

just fuck off already, you're not cute anymore

When you listen to two of what are considered the best albums on here and don't like either of them the issue might be just you.

>>127174332 (OP)
Agreed basically with everything.
Their goth album were much better, imho.

Out of the three core albums of shoegaze this is, by far, the worst.
Ride was decent and Souvlaki was a masterpiece. But this one? Even if I listened to it like a dozen times it never clicked.

zoomer moment

Zoomers love shoegaze. This nigga is weird.

>The mix is pretty bad too
The mix is amazing, what the fuck are you talking about? What exactly is mixed badly?

>>127179224
Desu I think this album's overrated as fuck and even I think the mixing is God-tier, OP's huffing petrol.

Its really good BUT if you dont have a half decent stereo you will need headphones because it really doesnt sound good on shitty little speakers

>>127178180
he liked kid a though, I don't think this is ragebait

>>127179556
Kid A is entry level. OP keeps getting filtered by the moderately challenging ones

>>127179571
Hearing a distorted guitar is probably too much for OP

so is this just going to be some pleb who cant into anything that strays too far from 3 minutes of shiny verse-chorus-verse-chorus-bridge-chorus vocal pop

>>127178479
Zoomers love the aesthetic of shoegaze as bgm for 30 tiktok videos. They dont actually listen to it. Also they think anything from the 90s with guitars in it is shoegaze

i like it. it's not especially interesting, maybe it's a bit boring, but i enjoy listening to it. i haven't listened to it recently, maybe i'll listen to it in a few hours

/mu/ was never good.

At the peak of /mu/'s relevance it was a proud elitist board where people obsessively called each others plebs/patricians. It was factionalized between indie hipsters, "avant-teens", metalheads, techno fans,etc. and lost its relevance because poptimism became the hegemonic music culture. Once poptimism conquered /mu/, it had no way to assert relevance since it became the same as any other music community, but with more of an incelish flavor.

In the distant past, /mu/ was a typical Rock-focused music board with a less developed "board culture" but a focus on the obscure much like any place in the 2000s. Then Poptimists infiltrated every music site, board and forum on the internet. In the early 2010s, everything associated with Rock and Metal was reformed to accommodate of Indie, Pop and Hip Hop. Cancer like Leddit and social media displaced music forums, resulting in a death of individual taste cultivation. Tripfaggotry and /mu/core marked this site's death knell with the board subjugated to anonymous tastemakers along with critics such as Scaruffi, Christgau and Fantano. /mu/core is hardly unique to /mu/ as it is a collection of albums praised across multiple sites and critics.

When zoomers got old enough to post here, the previous ironies and jokes /mu/ had pushed into the mainstream like pleb/patrician and ironic Rap were taken seriously as real concepts. Satire no longer exists on /mu/. The new generation of /mu/tants can't make a distinction between good music and satire, and thus we have the board we have now, where /mu/tants pretend to listen to obscure music they found on RYM, while also simultaneously listening to ironic Rap and Hip Hop. Newfags listen to the same albums the rest of the board does, like mindless NPCs.

I'm glad /mu/ has gone into the gutter because the mask of sophistication has completely slipped. /mu/tants are scum
