ArsMoriendi

People have said I'd love their album Filth |
LeddSledd
11.14.20 | god, where to begin
there are so many classic (i guess) albums that i've put off listening to because the sheer amount of them actually feels overwhelming |
JohnnyoftheWell
11.14.20 | >"**a** crucial source text"
you have also not heard the Soft Bulletin, Ars! |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
11.14.20 | they really do be having the most metalcore band name of all time tho |
Cygnatti
11.14.20 | I have a bad tendency of liking one (maybe two) albums in an artist's discography way more than anything else they do. To the point where listening to any artist's discography is very very difficult for me. |
BlushfulHippocrene
11.14.20 | I've literally not listened to an album in my life. |
BlushfulHippocrene
11.14.20 | Really, I was obsessed at some point with listening to the classics -- I've heard a lot of the Sput Classics at least once -- but I'm not sure it's that important anymore, unless you're purporting to be, like, an expert in the genre or something, which is a bit lame in the first place. Also, this list made me chuckle, thank u. |
ArsMoriendi
11.14.20 | Wait Johnny, you haven't heard Tago Mago?
:o it's so good |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
11.14.20 | "Really, I was obsessed at some point with listening to the classics -- I've heard a lot of the Sput Classics at least once "

Lord(e)Po)))ts
11.14.20 | @colton lol thats the funniest thing ive ever heard |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
11.14.20 | @joe u can blame jasi for that he was bitching about me having it 5'd in like 2011 and not having it 5'd anymore so i 5'd it so he would stfu |
JustJoe.
11.14.20 | that was an album i really enjoyed so it was a good reminder of its existence |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
11.14.20 | it has guitars so i had to drop it to a 1 when i transcended my flesh prison |
Colton
11.14.20 | What have I not heard? &&&&&? lol |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
11.14.20 | i don't fucking like arca you little bitch i swear to god |
JustJoe.

JohnnyoftheWell
11.14.20 | "@colton lol thats the funniest thing ive ever heard"
joe's comment was funnier tbh but both are strong |
JustJoe.
11.14.20 | there were some arca tracks i liked like early ones but i cannot remember which ones it might be snippets from that long-form mixtape i dunno it bothers me |
JustJoe.
11.14.20 | i also haven’t bothered to look into it really perhaps the universe will bring me back to it somehow |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
11.14.20 | probably old shit they used to be ok |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
11.14.20 | probably &&&&& that album is sick as far as i (don't) remember |
JustJoe.
11.14.20 | that might be it i do love me some ampersands |
HalfManHalfAmazing
11.14.20 | Since I mostly listen to just hip hop, pretty much all of them. Lol |
Pheromone
11.14.20 | i actually dont think try me by self defense family is the best album of 2014 |
Avagantamos
11.14.20 | I haven't listened to radiohead |
theBoneyKing
11.14.20 | Wait did Sowing actually not know who MBV were lmao |
JustJoe.
11.14.20 | he confused them with bullet for my valentine |
JustJoe.
11.14.20 | no shame in it but only because he ended up giving “loveless” high marks |
Egarran
11.14.20 | Love this thread's lack of album titles
cuz I got nothing either |
JustJoe.
11.14.20 | i am personally trying to pretend like i heard all the albums ever & if i didn’t it’s because i am too cool for it or some shit |
protokute
11.14.20 | a lot of jazz tbh |
widowslaugh123
11.14.20 | I’ve only heard one Bowie album. It sucked. |
WeepingBanana
11.14.20 | I’ve never listened to a full Nick Cave album and I never plan to cause the couple songs I’ve heard in my life were utter dogshit
Tho I have listened to some Birthday Party albums, not very good |
widowslaugh123
11.14.20 | I was fine with everything until the birthday party comment. Amazing band |
WeepingBanana
11.14.20 | Not really into post punk bands that try and sound SuPeR cRaZy aND WaKky and TRIBAL |
WeepingBanana
11.14.20 | Also fucking hilarious that mr indie rock encyclopedia didn’t know MBV lmao |
Colton
11.14.20 | wait a minute have you not heard fucking Pet Sounds |
protokute
11.14.20 | The few I heard from Bowie was pleasant, but I definitely should listen to his albums for real
@WeepingBanana
Never got the hype with them too, artsy in an awful way |
WeepingBanana
11.14.20 | fuck The Pop Group while I’m at it. Awful awful vibes |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
11.14.20 | "i am personally trying to pretend like i heard all the albums ever & if i didn’t it’s because i am too cool for it or some shit"
Ok colton |
GhostB1rd
11.14.20 | My Bloody Valentine was actually Matt Tuck's first band before he lost the naming rights in a lawsuit and started Bullet for My Valentine years later. |
Intothepit
11.14.20 | I thought Simple Plan was death metal. |
GhostB1rd
11.14.20 | It's true google it. |
JustJoe.
11.14.20 | “ok colton” is my 5th favorite radiohead album |
BlazinBlitzer
11.14.20 | For me, it's probably stuff like The Beatles or Metallica. |
evilford
11.14.20 | check death - symbolic |
evilford
11.14.20 | I havent heard a full beach Boys album
Also I still haven't checked any joy division or mbv |
Kompys2000
11.14.20 | Never listened to any Velvet Underground after I heard like half of white light white heat in high school and didn't like it
Never heard a full Smiths album since all their singles are obnoxious as fuck
I actually don't think I've heard a single Stooges song, discounting covers of their stuff by different bands
Those are the only *big* big ones I think, rest is individual albums by artists that mostly just have the one Important Album, stuff like Forever Changes, Ready to Die, Since I Left You etc etc |
Kompys2000
11.14.20 | Also Ars you should absolutely check The Residents, they're pretty up ur alley |
Kompys2000
11.14.20 | Dude This Charming Man is literally one of the worst singles I've ever heard. Pure dogshit |
widowslaugh123
11.14.20 | Smith singles and albums are pure anus |
Kompys2000
11.14.20 | Thesis, antithesis, and synthesis
The dialectic is strong itt |
Ryus
11.14.20 | "Dude This Charming Man is literally one of the worst singles I've ever heard. Pure dogshit"
no |
Kompys2000
11.14.20 | :/ |
YoYoMancuso
11.14.20 | believe it or not I have never listened to Paul Wall |
evilford
11.14.20 | Paul wall hahah |
Ryus
11.14.20 | wtf sowing |
theBoneyKing
11.14.20 | I mean not having listened to Loveless is understandable but confusing them with Bullet For My Valentine... |
JustJoe.
11.14.20 | only listen to “loveless” if you rate it a 4.0+ otherwise unlisten to it |
JustJoe.
11.14.20 | also five my 5.0s |
Egarran
11.14.20 | I was you when you fived your 5.0s |
JustJoe.
11.14.20 | 🤯 |
JustJoe.
11.14.20 | i am complete |
Egarran
11.14.20 | It was a glorious time, remember? The joy, the sublime ecstasy |
JustJoe.
11.14.20 | how could i forget
💞 |
Egarran
11.14.20 | we were as the gods themselves |
JustJoe.
11.14.20 | infallible immutable |
Egarran
11.14.20 | I remembered the effect that the view of the tremendous JustJoe had produced upon my mind when I first saw him. I had then filled him with a sublime ecstasy that gave wings to the soul, and allowed it to soar from the obscure world to light and joy |
JustJoe.
11.14.20 | 😇 🥰 🥳 |
JustJoe.
11.14.20 | can i get banned for excessive emoji use i wonder |
JohnnyoftheWell
11.15.20 | You are banned |
JustJoe.
11.15.20 | |
JohnnyoftheWell
11.15.20 | Also should I listen to Pet Sounds or Tago Mago today plz help |
porcupinetheater
11.15.20 | Tago Mago fo sho |
porcupinetheater
11.15.20 | Also love sum punk and still have never made time for London Calling.
Love some morose tunes and still holding Jeff Buckley at a distance. |
kevbogz
11.15.20 | i enjoy getting my ass ate |
Demon of the Fall
11.15.20 | I was going to finally check The Rolling Stones or Jimi Hendrix the other day, but then I thought ‘nah, let’s check this Oxbow band instead’.
I’m getting better at checking the obvious classics, yet sometimes I still find it hard to pull the trigger. You have to strike when the inclination is there, I probably won’t care about bands like Oxbow when I’m old and grey (hope I do though). P.S. No regrets so far. |
Egarran
11.15.20 | >i enjoy getting my ass ate
do you pay for that? |
porcupinetheater
11.15.20 | Oxbow is so much better than most of the bands we've been talking about here. I hope you still care about An Evil Heat in your December years, Demon |
JohnnyoftheWell
11.15.20 | Oxbow are fking great and I need to get further into their discog
was gonna check Can today but am listening to Long Season instead oops |
Mesm277
11.15.20 | I don't get the Jane Doe hype |
Demon of the Fall
11.15.20 | I’ve heard all 6 of these by the way Johnny, which surprises me somewhat. Maybe I’m not as bad at checking highly regarded albums as I thought. I guess there’s a noticeable difference between ‘mainstream classics’ and the stuff us music nerds include alongside them.
1 is not the same as 2, or 6. |
Egarran
11.15.20 | I have listened to Endtroducing one time and it didn't do anything for me so I should prolly try again.
Because I just saw a 'get into trip hop' video where it was mentioned as essential alongside MA, Portishead and Tricky, so it should be my jam. |
Jots
11.15.20 | believe it or not I have never heard a full Tentenko album yes it’s true |
JustJoe.
11.15.20 | jotw is the only one that has heard tentenko it’s true |
JohnnyoftheWell
11.15.20 | long may that continue |
Drifter
11.15.20 | It brings me great shame to say I’ve never heard a Big L album 😔😔 |
Jots
11.15.20 | big L on your part then |
Kompys2000
11.15.20 | @Eg I remember there being a full drawn-out discussion in the Endtro thread abt whether or not it was trip-hop a few months ago, I may be misremembering but I believe the conclusion reached was that it is not, in fact, trip hop |
Kompys2000
11.15.20 | That said its amazing so if u don't like it u should listen to it until u like it |
Egarran
11.15.20 | God dammit you can't trust anything these days
was this vid: https://youtu.be/UyXbUzm-Tv0 |
Masochist
11.16.20 | So much 70's prog, I have yet to listen to.
No Yes album
No Rush album
No Jethro Tull album
No Genesis album
No Camel album
Not all the way through, anyways.
At least I can say I've listened to Pet Sounds, and in the most spectacularly hipster fashion: I bought the CD at a Goodwill in the Haight-Ashbury district of San Francisco, then we listened to it while driving down the Pacific Coast Hwy. And to this day, I still contend that the Beach Boys were better than the Beatles, at least that era of them. |
ReturnToRock
11.16.20 | I have never finished listening to Dark Side of the Moon after originally giving up on it after track 3.
I have also never listened to:
- Led Zeppelin I
- Led Zeppelin II
- Any The Who studio album (only comp's and Live at Leeds)
- Singles Going Steady by The Buzzcocks
- Any Misfits albums
- Any Jimi Hendrix studio albums (again, only comp's and Live at Woodstock)
- Any Cream studio albums (just their Best Of)
- Judas Priest - Stained Class
- Megadeth - Rust in Peace
Off the top of my head. |
Egarran
11.16.20 | Looks like you win! |
dedex
11.16.20 | i still haven't listened to 4'33" |
Pheromone
11.16.20 | tinnitus eh dedex? |
robertsona
11.16.20 | Prog is my big blind spot yeah. I listened to Yes a bunch growing up but really mostly "I've Seen All Good People". I like RED too, but most king crimson/rush/genesis/jethro etc... |
Pheromone
11.16.20 | not even a blind spot but i actively dislike most classic prog - cheeses me out |
Squiggly
11.17.20 | I have not jumped on most of the classic progs, hip hops, or metals, not a single Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Beach Boys, Smiths, Can, Judas Priest, Cure or Who. The ONE album that I need to check, would be LZ4, Jane Doe, Tago Mago, Death Symbolic, Closer, Liquid Swords, Illmatic, am I missing anything? |
Demon of the Fall
11.18.20 | This thread is helping me feel better about my musical misdemeanours. |
someone
11.19.20 | i can't even begin to list every artist i completely missed out on and the realisation of that terrifies me |
Storm In A Teacup
07.25.21 | I assume Sowing thought My Bloody Valentine was Bullet for my Valentine. |
JohnnyoftheWell
07.25.21 | bullet for my valentine would be a more natural evolution of his brand new phase ngl
have since checked a whopping 33% of the bands wow what progress |
DavidYowi
07.25.21 | There's a lot for me to choose from but probably the most glaring for me is that I haven't given The Sound of Perseverance a full listen |
