Looking back, what's the biggest bullshit, musically speaking, that you fell for in the 00s

Are FNM and Bungle nu-metal? If so, them.

― Davek (davek_00)

we are talking about the 00s here, not just things you regret. neither of those bands released a record in the past decade.

i fall in to the decemberist & sufjan camps as well. i still like sufjan's work, but i think a lot of my interest in him dwindled after he failed to deliver a timely follow-up.

i regret liking coldplay. i really, really wanted to like them, but they never delivered on what i thought was great potential.

i bought an audiovent album. that's pretty regrettable.

i regret owning a thursday cd

had dalliance w/ that kitsune sound for a while there. the good bits are still pretty good! the bad bits are 95% of the catalog.

as a child of britpop i got most of my getting swindled out of the way during 95-99.

In the future we should take bets on which trending indie bands and mini-genres will be called "bullshit" seven to ten years later.

chillwave, but it was more like seven to ten minutes after the first track was released

"this whole paisley underground rap movement...it's all bullshit, Larry. Get out while you can."

were the beta band bullshit? i haven't listened to them since they got called the tampa bay buccaneers of rock

source tags and codes was not bullshit, musically speaking, but that album title was

source tags and codes is some comp sci madlib shit

HTML mouse and Wikipedia was their other working title iirc

Track 3 was great but the rest, not so much. It always seemed like they were trying way too hard to just really go for it man!!!!!

do your future self a favor and don't delete/sell everything. taking a scorched earth approach to your own taste usually leads to more remorse than listening to something you later dislike

with two external hard-drives, i ain't deleting shit. and i have all of my old CDs-- many of them burnt since i was in college 2003-2008-- in many different places around my parents' house on the other coast. i still have ALL of my old punk and hardcore records from 95-2001, and only sell records when i am truly in financial straits and would rather depart with some half-good Luciano single than have sex with strangers for money. which i've also done.

Decemberists and Fiery Furnaces are both pretty abysmal IMO.. I pretty much always thought so.

However "Sunlandic Twins" still sounds great to me, so I can't say the same for Of Montreal.

At some point or another, I did fall for The Polyphonic Spree, The Vines, Dandy Warhols, The Streets, and Green Day's "American Idiot." I'm pretty sure I liked Cody ChesTTnutt at some point also.

"Why" by Jadakiss is definitely bullshit, and I used to love that song.

Same goes for "Fallin'" by Alicia Keys... Everything related to her is bullshit.

And of course "Are You Gonna Be My Girl"... God, what a shitpile that was..

Metallica's comeback record.

in terms of what i fell for?

- freak-folk = everything except the first two devendra records, ESPERS (who are still awesome), and WWVV live is absolute garbage and makes me feel like a dumb hippie retard when i re-listen to it.

- TV on the Radio = no matter what anyone says, nothing will ever top that first EP. in fact, i will argue to the death that TVotR have legitimately sucked shit after that EP.

- Deerhoof = after i saw them live twice in one year and they sucked hard both times, i gave up

- Wolf Eyes = i will stan for early recordings, esp. Slicer, but post Burned Mind is all downhill

also bsj, u crazy, "Fallin" is ace.

Yeah an ace piece of shit

This thread in five years: Joanna Newsome, Dan Deacon, Vivian Girls, Kurt Vile, etc

I'm just sayin' this thread pretty much sums up the short shelf life of 'indie' - not because the music suddenly starts to suck or something (even though the music of three of the four examples above could be used for interrogation purposes round my house), but because yall are fickle and ungrateful and this is why bands getting Best New Music reviews on Pitchfork are still working at Barnes and Noble.

Enjoy your binary code, you spoiled brats.

Metallica's comeback record.

― in movie 2001 resurrect thread on planet jupiter (Pillbox)

if you mean "St. Anger," i am fucken madly in anger w/ you

i'm not generally too ungrateful... i mean, i won't touch Joanna Newsom with a ten-foot pole. Dan Deacon records bore me, but he's helped bring a great scene together. i find Wilco so insufferable that it pains me to imagine myself liking them, but they do know how to make commercially-appealing pop-rock records. i love the guys from TVotR, they're sweethearts but haven't made a good record in years....

that said, i never would have thought that i'd be pining for my Man is the Bastard records that burned in a squat fire when i was 16, or that Born Against would become one of my favorite bands again more than ten years after i bought 'Rebel Sound of Shit and Failure.' so eh.

actually i did get that first vines record on someone's recommendation, then sold it on for more than i paid for it once i realised how shitty it was

I enjoyed The Vines lofi-sounding demo recordings and pretty much hated the watered-down album versions of those songs after I bought it.. partially because it helped me to realize how boring the songs actually were.

The records the Flaming Lips put out, post-Soft Bulletin, pre-Embryonic, all succumb to BS in ways that none of their older records ever do. Yet because I was a long-time fan I put up with it.

^^^^^^^^

if you mean "St. Anger" - take yr pick

I RAGE I GLAZE I HURT I HATE I HATE IT ALL WHY WHY WHY ME I CANNOT SLEEP WITH A HEAD LIKE THIS I WANNA CRY I WANNA SCREAM

COLOR THE WORLD BLACKENED

as a child of britpop i got most of my getting swindled out of the way during 95-99.

this, but i still managed to buy a stupid amount of cd singles up until 2006ish, barely one of them worth the cost of materials to me now

of montreal h8 is making me ;_;

i still like that 1 oM album

i have a feeling i'd be embarrassed if i revisited the Go! Team but don't quote me on that yet

You can't really parody James Hetfield any more than he has himself at this point.

the first half of Hissing Fauna is so good but man the second half (w/ the exception of the closing track) is O_O and the followup record is -_-

DO I HAVE THE STRENGTH TO KNOW I WON'T GO
CAN I FIND IT INSIDE TO DEAL WITH WHAT I SHOULDN'T KNOW

MY LIFESTYLE DETERMINES MY DEATHSTYLE

the revolutionary drum sound pioneered by avant-garde percussionist Lars Ulrich

Hissing Fauna was always overrated, and I never understood why Sunlandic Twins has remained so slept on.

aldhils is where it's at for me

yeah, this one too

otm ksh about the closing track, it's my favorite i think but i dig that whole record & skeletal lamping is my shit too. i was very lonely stumping for that one though

xp *rolls eyes* at old OM contraristanning, peace

the revolutionary drum sound pioneered by avant-garde percussionist tin can banger Lars Ulrich

hissing fauna is a damn classic, you fucks

the one after that is a mess tho

An overrated classic, yes

Only thing I regret is placing Aly + AJ's Insomniatic in the #1 spot on my J+P ballot in 2007. And I don't hate the album, but I definitely overrated it that year (which I blame on the now extinct teenpop cru who made me see beauty in the album and then left me holding only sad regrets).

all i had to do was wait until the supermarket had soup on sale and now i have a full set of drums thanks to Lars's basic insight into the true nature of the snare drum

Also to person who regrets owning Thursday album: U suck I hate u.

hissing fauna is a damn classic, you fucks

― J0rdan S., Wednesday, April 14, 2010 12:12 AM

classic if you ignore the second half, sans the final track

treads a thin line between great and totally fucking cloying

"standing at a Swedish festival, discussing Story of the Eye"

stfu

overwrought Jeff Buckleyness

she's a rejector is one of the best songs on the album!
