05.08.21 | list is ranked
these are 3.7s, let's add some more 3.7s (there are 111 of them)! name your favourite 3.7s
for *some reason* a v high chunk of trip-hop albums ended up here, so they will be marked out as such !! |
JKing92
05.08.21 | Even though the Beatles are my favorite band, I surprisingly never really liked A Hard Day's Night all that much.
Also, nice reference to that dude who keeps spamming "check Fugazi" on various lists. Helps me maintain a thorough hatred of that band. |
JohnnyoftheWell
05.08.21 | wait what guy???? and why would you hate fugazi when you could hate bad bands instead ohigetit that's why you've gotta maintain nice!! |
JKing92
05.08.21 | The guy I'm talking about is a certain WL, who shall go unnamed beyond that... 😉
I will say though that the reason why I hate Fugazi has little to do with this individual, and more to do with the fact that I think they suck mightily. |
JohnnyoftheWell
05.08.21 | okay this is all the 3.7s
you listen to tool and are wrong name me a better 90s album than red medicine good luck |
JKing92
05.08.21 | I edited this so that the replies make no sense |
JohnnyoftheWell
05.08.21 | i mean some of those albums are very good but i didn't ask for a copypasta from the rolling stone |

I think you misspelled "all." 😉 |
JohnnyoftheWell
05.08.21 | yeah i just dragged my eyes from bottom to top again and you don't have a single good punk band there my next list will be a sputnikmusic selfhelp helpline your welcom |

GhandhiLion
05.08.21 | Laurel Halo nice. repeater best |
JohnnyoftheWell
05.08.21 | it is a truth
unfortunately
i think we have exposed some underlying attitude problems here
this is good. next session will be on discount |
JohnnyoftheWell
05.08.21 | Laurel Halo is good maybe I should bump her. she also has probably top 5 album artwork here mm |
GhandhiLion

rate this bouncy bass |
JohnnyoftheWell
05.08.21 | maybe idk repeater has more obvious weak links than their best stuff but it is very good
this bass is certainly bouncy. i enjoy that there are arpeggios. maybe it will make this pizzicato five album download faster. |
RadioSuicide
05.08.21 | HOLD UP WHAT IS 9 DOING HERE |
GhandhiLion
05.08.21 | why does so much Shibuya-kei sound like madchester, it's confusing. I'm not sure it's a genre. |
GhandhiLion
05.08.21 | apparantly neo Shibuya-kei is a thing |
Pheromone
05.08.21 | check fugazi rollingstone |
JKing92
05.08.21 | I'll pass, thank you. |
JohnnyoftheWell
05.08.21 | shibuya-kei had a very coherent scene and distinctive sound. pastiche genres are still genres
and 9 has great bits and zzz bits but it is very good
"apparantly neo Shibuya-kei is a thing"
like neo city pop??
|
GhandhiLion
05.08.21 | maybe. I need to hear a lot more of the stuff. It looks more like a movement to me atm. |
JohnnyoftheWell
05.08.21 | I mean you can parse it to jangle pop, bossa nova, French shit and various dance scenes pretty easily but there's a enough of a common aesthetic between artists that movement-ing it is kinda pedantic |
GhandhiLion
05.08.21 | maybe maybe |
JohnnyoftheWell
05.08.21 | you're gonna be the one to |
GhandhiLion
05.08.21 | maybe there are POTENTIAL genres contained within Shibuya-kei |
JohnnyoftheWell
05.08.21 | a swarm futurepast genres
Fishmans dreamdub p much came directly out of it
so a swarm of fish |
GhandhiLion
05.08.21 | check that fishmans Shibuya-kei ep. It's cute |
Trifolium
05.08.21 | Wow Johnny there are many many many many good ones here! Love it. |
JohnnyoftheWell
05.08.21 | Yeah this has kinda backfired because I might like this list more than the 3.9 one oops |
JustJoe.
05.08.21 | why am i not more triggered |
JohnnyoftheWell
05.08.21 | idk you only care about maybe 40 albums, half of which are good and half of which i've probs already triggered you to insensitivity on |
JustJoe.

what else + what should i 3.9 hmmm |
JustJoe.
05.08.21 | quite a lot of these i know nothing about so i would say about ones i know umm bump 93 down cuz i never heard it but that is a 3.5 vibe of an artist & bump 3 9 63 to 3.9 because other reasons |

05.08.21 | 9, 13, 17 (greatest offender of this list), 36, 49, 93, and 111 deserve better.
But then again, these are coming from johnny so nothing of value was lost. |

and this isn't contrarianism these are all good albums, it's your fault for overrating a small handful of them tae fuck
lookin at YOU, MORT |
Pikazilla
05.09.21 | I rate this list
3.69/5.00
Until next time |
JohnnyoftheWell
05.09.21 | i would never reply to budgie's comment
but there is definitely one track near the end of that ost that practically sounds like an homage to warpy Tobin. Perdition City owes more to him though |
Pikazilla
05.09.21 | 73 and william blake are the only two duds in ulver discog, ez |
JohnnyoftheWell
05.09.21 | 73 isn't a dud tbh, they've got Blake, Kveld, half of Drone Activity and kinda the new one to pick from there |
budgie
05.09.21 | 73 isnt a dude it fukn RULES BRAH |
budgie
05.09.21 | i will put forward that themes & metamorph are duds in my ears |
JohnnyoftheWell
05.09.21 | metamorphosis is not their best but it didn't suck
which is a relief because it followed themes and proved they could do electronic outside of cringe gimmicks
(@norma) |

dedex
05.10.21 | "4.2 album with a few 2.8 songs = 3.7"
exactly |
JohnnyoftheWell
05.10.21 | wait which |
dedex
05.10.21 | i just agree that a 4.2 album with a few 2.8 songs is a 3.7
casually discussing semantics |
JohnnyoftheWell
05.10.21 | oh okay this is good i casually agree very good
what is the most 3.7 of albums for 4.2 reasons |

Demon of the Fall
05.10.21 | This list > your 3.9s
(probably, I just skimmed through tbh). |
Demon of the Fall
05.10.21 | Your trip-hop card has been revoked: Dolphin has the same rating as Portishead and is actually above Lamb. What are you playing at? |
Pheromone
05.10.21 | woo m/ |
ian b
05.10.21 | rank your lists next, coward |
JohnnyoftheWell
05.10.21 | Dolphin is cooler than Lamb and has a lower dud quotient than the Portishead s/t. you have no Laika ratings, here is your library card back
and I have compared and CONTRASTED this list with the 3.9 one - this has a higher quotient of normcore but every 3.9 has a better and more interesting reason for being there, so all is well |
Demon of the Fall
05.10.21 | Lamb is closer to a 4.7 although it did admittedly take a hell of a long time to get there.
I was going to check Laika, then I didn’t. Maybe. |
JohnnyoftheWell
05.10.21 | Lamb contains Zero and is instadisqualified from the 4.3+ tier forever as such even though its style is indisdubitabiliy cool alas
and that Laika is a firm 3.8 tbh, maybe I should bump it |
Demon of the Fall
05.10.21 | ‘Sneaker Pimps and Lamb may appear to be different sides of the same electronic coin, but both groups succeed in melding pop style with underground dance grooves, blurring boundaries and expectations. Becoming X and Lamb are arguments that electronica is a worthy heir to more time-tested musical genres – and not just a fluke of computer literacy.’
My eyes hurt and it’s all your fault Johnny. Also if you want to separate yourself from such things, I suggest raising your rating further away from this 3/5 review excerpt. |
JohnnyoftheWell
05.10.21 | what
is this
from |
Havey
05.10.21 | a 3.7 is just a *really* bad 4.6

but otherwise you are onto something i am intrigue |

JohnnyoftheWell
05.10.21 | phero everyone has heard q and not u even mort |
Mort.
05.10.21 | well basically they are close to black eyes in the sense of being dancey punk/post-hardcore and are an obvious rec. no kill no beep beep is 5/5 |
Pheromone
05.10.21 | ok will listen soon hahahaha hahaha ha |
JohnnyoftheWell
05.10.21 | it is not but it does have a couple of 5/5 tracks and it is on par with black eyes
i am a born diplomat *spills more red* |
Mort.
05.10.21 | ok i will clarify it is a 5 for me but not for superior taste johnny who would much rather be listening to *checks 5s* ling tosite weebsure or something |
JohnnyoftheWell
05.10.21 | ling tosite sigure are better than q and not u yes
it is tough at the top, i don't hope you understand someday |
Mort.
05.10.21 | being serious id never realised johnny actually has decent taste im not hating these 5s although its the wrong slowdive album sorry bby |
JohnnyoftheWell
05.10.21 | aww that is qt of you i will look at your 5s one day but not now bc I am jamming black midi and all is greyscale
what is the right one if you say pyg that is ok |

05.10.21 | I rate this list a 3.6 |
JohnnyoftheWell
05.10.21 | ok but factoring the arbitrary -2 penalty you give any music with melodies makes that a pretty wild overstatement |
Pon
05.10.21 | I don't hate melody, I hate consonance. Get it right, idiot. |

Demon of the Fall
04.18.23 | bad list
not only do you have unreasonable power to 3.7, are seemingly flaunting the fact you have unreasonable power to 3.7, but you are also ranking them, thus showing us even the .1 decimal increments are a joke to you
to say I'm mildly perturbed would perhaps be an exaggeration, but I am certainly considering my stance on this bothersome situation |

04.18.23 | 5.0 classic DirtyGoyim | March 30th 23
I'm amazed at the amount of mentally disabled people who give this fantastic album a low score. This album alone shits on 95% of the American, and not only American bands out there.

jealously is a bad look
regardless, I sure as hell wouldn't be ranking them if I had the power to differentiate to this extent, lol |
