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.

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.

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.

Shelby Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 Eh, I thought like that when I was 20 too, but music fatigue is a thing and special albums deserve special attention. You'll get over flaunting your limitations when you get a little older and spread your taste out more. It's not hard to enjoy something without overdosing on it.

Chrundle The Great Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 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.

Derek™ Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 Well, a great album is pretty subjective in the first place, isn’t it? You’re veering way off the course here and arguing for the sake of arguing, because I never said you (specifically) were prohibited from feeling TMV’s discography is equally great. Your music consumption sounds an awful lot like mine when I was a teenager. Listening to a smattering of stuff but insistent that there was only really a handful of consistent bands worth following, with complete discographies worth revisiting often. Simpler times. The truth is that you’re clearly in a bubble. “Everyone I’ve talked to who listens to TMV listens to all of their stuff so I dunno, it’s all celebrated if you ask me.” Maybe inside of a TMV discord or subreddit, but not elsewhere. Probably not what you want to hear, but it’s a harsh reality. Sorry dude. So you listen to 100+ brand new albums in a slow year. And there’s 200-300 albums you consider to be “great” that you often come back to… right? Do you listen to those 200-300 exclusively, sprinkling in new releases? Do you listen to good (not necessarily great) records? For some background, I just checked and I’ve listened to 152 unique albums in the last 30 days. (And it was a pretty slow month for playing tunes.) Those were full album plays, front to back. A handful of them were checking out new releases for the first time – and I’m also not counting repeat spins of the same album, if I get on a kick during the month – but the overwhelming majority I would deem “good” or “great” enough to buy and presently own on my shelf. This is no flex because I’m sure there are truly voracious music enthusiasts that put those numbers to shame. But I’m trying to gauge where you’re coming from, because it’s asinine to me that TMV are one of the only bands you can think of that have a completely “consistent” discography – an opinion you can hold, that I can respect you hold, but is in no way factual to reality.

I love De-Loused and Frances as much as the next guy, but apart from Octahedron, which I adore but is a bit tame, I would rate them all pretty much the same. Amputechture and Bedlam are my go-to albums most of the time. Tremulant through Frances is 5/5, the rest is hot dog shit Shelby and Derek™ 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
