Chrundle The Great

prices are.... not good

this ones been on repeat all week. crazy how different the vibe is from their last album, but this song is fire.

the absolute hilarious irony of their biggest and earliest hit being "my friends over you"

the hype video already shows various creases to the box from basic photo handling. probably could have gone with something stronger than cardstock for the box material at this price point.

I hear ya. So much research on metal bands to find out if they have fascist ties. Some don't give a shit, but I do.

It's awesome to see Black Metal bands that don't follow the typical ideology of your far-right leaning artists. I hate liking a band and then reading the shit inside the sleeve and being absolutely disgusted and then using the vinyl/cd as a frisbee shortly after. I think I'll pick this up and show them support. This is a good song and the one on the bandcamp is as well.

the heroes keeping the union intact. for the rest of us, thank you

this album turned out pretty good

a lotta hoopla for 2 mediocre albums.... (please dont kill me, ex-wife)

im honestly intrigued to see one person's list of 20+ current generation artists that each have 5+ great albums. ive gotten a lot of great recommendations here, but i dont believe people really like that much music. and if they do, then they have stockholm syndrome with the artists they have listened to.

I do get what you’re saying but it doesn’t address the point I made.  We probably all listen to a shit-ton of artists who have only released 1 or 2 albums in the last decade that have universally and unequivocally done “well” – with critics, or among a cult following, in sales, etc.  I’m saying that if you consume music as avidly as you’re suggesting you do – especially music that features “new” artists releasing  albums within the last decade – and you’re grasping to think of any more than TMV who have 5-6 consistently good albums… you’re doing something wrong.

theres 5-10 artists that I think each have made 5+ great albums in my lifetime. TMV is one of them. theres plenty of artists that i think have made 1-3 great albums. i listen to 100+ new albums in a slow year. my main thesis is that people that claim they love all these artists/albums don't actually like them all that much. and the proof is that they don't listen to them all that much. people that listen to TMV listen to all of their albums, even if deloused and FTM get played a few more times.

Yeah it makes sense now. You're just a casual. Not trying to be a dick or anything but you're right and I do just listen to way more music than you. There's probably not enough time in a year to spin my collection, but that's OK I'm not in the mood for certain things for years. Sucks moving but I'd rather be prepared.

totally fair. but if you think you "love" albums you dont listen to even once a year, we have a different definition

If you’re listening to as many quality bands as you’re implying you do, you should have 0 problem coming up with more than a few “active (or active in the last 10 years) bands that have 5-6 albums I consider ALL to be consistent”.

pareto distribution, bro. most bands that even make 1 good album make only 1. id say I'm a fan of about 200-300 what i consider to be "great" albums from the last 30 years. that's a lot of run time, even if you went a whole year without a replay. maybe 20 of those came from 4 bands, the rest of the albums are far fewer/band. make sense?

No wonder this band amazes you 😄

you must spend a lot of time listening to all your favorite bands. I listen to music for multiple hours a day, and if I liked too much more of it, nothing would be getting the deserving plays.

Let's maybe not use washed out, "over-the-hill" bands as a basis for comparison.  I'm basing these takes off of bands that don't blow ass past their prime because I don't listen to bands that blow ass past their prime.  And neither should you.  They're beneath this discussion.

 

 

Not sure about you, but I can name very few active (or active in the last 10 years) bands that have 5-6 albums I consider ALL to be consistent. I'm a bit picky, though. And again, you're saying a 3.2 is a bad score on that site (which has 1,500 voters - maybe 0.5% of TMV listening base). None of TMV's albums are below 3.4. But anyway - let's not try to make this a numbers game, there aren't any solid metrics to determine a band's "discography consistency". I could easily say "they sold 5000 overpriced box sets of their discography that are immediately selling for double", but there's no easy comparison there.

All I was saying - and it already got ascribed to my "superfandom", as predicted - was that in my experience, people I talk to about TMV don't say "the blue album and pinkerton were the only good ones, the rest suck". they may say FTM or deloused are their favorite, but it is actually often amputechture or bedlam that i hear, and noctourniquet has its day too. i am a superfan, specifically because i think all 6 albums are very good-great, and other than a few select bands, I can't say that about an entire discography.

different strokes and all, but I disagree that the not-top-2 albums go ignored

its weird to me to hear TMV called inconsistent, considering the output we get from so many over-the-hill bands these days, most of which should have called it quits a decade ago. and i don't agree that most TMV fans vastly prefer deloused and FTM, especially when compared to the reception of other bands' full discographies. its certainly not been my experience when talking to other fans. not trying to be the used superfan guy (and im certain that my avatar will disqualify my viewpoint), but all of these albums are appreciated. thats actually extremely rare, and rather consistent for a 21st century band, id say.

This has quickly become my favorite boxset.

Reserve judgment, bro. That Phoebe Bridgers box set next year is gonna have all her legendary albums.

Average Eilish listener took out loans to buy an entry-level Tesla. All in on the "next big thing"

gotta say - this is the best use of this globally iconic meme yet

Yes, sending such an aggressive email as your initial inquiry into a preorder status is pretty disrespectful.

Good point, reconsidering the intellectual value of going into a thread and just saying "Boring"

please go on with the mindset that people should live by your credo of: "if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all!"

it'll work wonders in the real world
