Derek™ Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 ^same vote as Derek this time too. I find that we listen to a lot of the same artists and genres. I can generally relate to what you're jamming, or at least more than I can relate to 98% of VC's population. Makes me think I should perhaps listen to a Built To Spill song at some point.

Listen to Perfect from Now On right now. I also agree with both of you a lot quite a bit *hugs* Derek™ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Russian Circles - Geneva This single album kicked my musical taste in a brand new direction & is responsible for all post-rock related bands I now listen to. This is a great pick. Fun fact about Geneva - I didn't really "get it" until the year before last. I fell in love with Russian Circles via Station, so I was greatly anticipating Geneva. When it was released, I ordered it and maybe spun it once or twice before shelving it for quite some time. It wasn't until Empros was released that I went back and revisited it, only to discover how much more that it has to offer. Those string segments are just bliss, on Melee and Hexed All. I'm really glad I was able to appreciate the album -- for a while there I considered it a weak link in an otherwise splendid discography, but now I'm just all the more confident that RC can do no wrong.

Derek™ Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Are you fucking serious? Listen to Perfect from Now On right now. Yeah, I'm way behind. I see your guys' posts in a lot of ambient / post-rock / etc. threads. And those are the topics I find myself active in, more often than not, but that certainly doesn't mean that I don't enjoy or appreciate artists and genres that fall into the more "straightforward" side of things, if that makes any sense. (i.e. indie rock, alternative, etc.) Built To Spill are one of those groups that I've been meaning to check out for ages, but just haven't gotten around to. I'll have to fix that.

cwhitmuzik Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Ooof, this is a bad one for me. Probably have to go with Kendrick Lamar - Good Kid, m.A.A.d City. H may be even worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebiglebowski Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Can't tell if sarcastic or not. I hope it is. No sarcasm. The best music tells a story. It's impossible to do with out words. Instrumental music is just noise. Might be interesting sounding noise, but that's it. I don't care if people want to listen to that stuff but I don't get how it can be considered superior to the best albums with lyrics. Don't the lyrics bring a lot to the table? It's at least half of the value in any album to me, maybe more. brandy and mindless 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deadreckoning Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 I just lurked through the last few pages and noticed some errors, the answers should have been.. E: Entertainment! - Gang of Four (with a highly Honorable Mention to the Embrace S/T) F: Fuel for the Hate Game - HWM (with a Honorable Mention to Frigid Forms Sell - Milemarker) Somebody already mentioned the S/T Gorilla Biscuits 12" for G, backed. Not sure when i am going to pop back in, but to jump the gun H is a solid Hello Bastards by Lifetime. randomfortunepa 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
