Thoughts on Unwound?

Hard to form an unbiased opinion of them because every aging millennial treats them with a reverence that is beyond gay. They're very overrated in their niche but not bad.

You are thinking of Fugazi.

>>127521825
you're a pleb, Unwound is actually that good

>>127521840
Also true, except Fugazi is way worse.
>>127521876
See?

no good songs, Fugazi's way better

I prefer Planes Mistaken For Stars

Love 'em
Leaves is a very weird album, Fake Train and Repetition had songs that immediately made them click for me, but the first times i listened to Leaves i could only grasp some really good moments amongst an anxious blur, in a good way, which made me keep coming back until it became my favorite

Very very good. Saw them live recently for my birthday they did repetition in full. Drummer is underrated very creative unique playing

>>127522474
Going to see them in September, super excited.

>>127521817 (OP)
Leaves was the only album that impressed me after giving some of their other material a cursory listen

why did he do it bros
one of the people that made me want to pick up the bass

>>127522791
>Bass line to Valentine Card and Corpse Pose

>>127521817 (OP)
The Fall did it first and better

>>127521817 (OP)
Unwowed.

>>127522791
He was an alcoholic

Fugazi mogs

I like Challenge For A Civilized Society the most. I suppose someone has to.

My favourite bands are Nirvana, Wipers and Unwound

>>127521817 (OP)
One of the best 90s bands no doubt

>>127522038
>Fugazi's way better
Minor threat is better than fugazi ever will be on a purely musical basis. If you want post hardcore then listen to nation of Ulysses or husker du instead. Fugazi sound like a game of hardcore marco polo. One minute ian is way up here then the next it is way down here. They're mid.

this

>>127521817 (OP)
they don't look like they're wrapped so tight

>>127521817 (OP)
leaves is a great album and sara is one of my favorite drummers, other stuff hasn't really clicked for me aside from some individual songs

>>127526219
Listen to Repetition.

when people hyped up fugazi growing up, this band is what i imagined them to sound like, except they were corny af. this is actually good

>>127524158
I recommend Nemo - In Stereo

One of most legendary bands of all time and they absolutely fucking pulverized Unwound live. Full stop.

You weren’t there when REPEATER dropped… you weren’t there when STEADY DIET OF NOTHING shipped fucking Gold on Dischord… Dischord!
Go suck a tailpipe you SSRI’d-out know-nothing TikTok brained Zoomer retard.

>>127527321
whoah… Winnipeg, AB???
oh, this i gotta hear.

>>127527924
do you really think that anyone on the entire fucking planet gives a shit about who epically pwned who according to some random retard? post number 127527924 could've been a good post but we got this shit instead, wow

fugazi’s style gave birth to helmet’s style and therefore all nu metal, post-grunge and groove metal wouldn’t exist without them. They undoubtedly influenced nirvana too so they are probably the most influential band of the 90s and early 2000s

When Vern was still with them, Unwound mogs Fugazi live.

You're right, I wasn't there. Does being there make a record or band good? If you had to be there then couldn't it be said that the material isn't good enough to stand on its own? Maybe i'm hating, maybe I don't get it, maybe its genius hasn't hit me and been fully realized by me, but from what I have heard I would much rather listen to minor threat or bad brains than fugazi. I would much rather listen to husker du, refused, or glass jaw, other "post hardcore" bands. They (fugazi) may have laid the foundation for later post hardcore bands but I tried giving them a listen and wasn't blown away by what I heard.

>>127526219
For me its new plastic ideas but all of their albums are great

>>127530301
Even s/t?

Fake Train changed my life hearing it when I was 16. None of the other records ever really clicked but I imagine that's my own issue

>>127530394
Because Fake Train has their best songs

>>127521817 (OP)
A great band, their b-sides are kinda boring though

>>127521825
You're thinking of Slint

>>127521817 (OP)
They weren't anything special, they weren't bad but I heard a few songs and liked them. I wouldn't consider them as legendary as led zeppelin or pink floyd but punk. They were okay.
