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

^^^^^^^^

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.

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!

NOOOOOO

some publication, i think it was P4k, was talking to Barnes abt instruments and he said he loved his Rickenbacker bass which is OTM b/c the bass tone on Hissing Fauna is killer

i really hated the hubcap snare of st anger, but when lars explained it as "expressionist" because he really loved expressionist art, i kind of thought it was a pretty amazing and ballsy move tbh

there's no way he actually said that

i think it's more like, Bob Rock doesn't know how to get a decent fukken drum sound out of Metallica w/o making it sound like the drums on Black Album

varient question: ever fallen for huge bullshit and known it was bullshit while you were falling for it, but fell anyway?

I thought LArs snare sound was more Basquiat tbh

i love Metallica, but James's "aaaaaaaccccccccccchhhhhkkkkkk!" in "Invisible Kid" is totally priceless

j0rdan & k3v otm, Hissing Fauna is unimpeachable. the follow-up yeah not so much.

hissing fauna is the one of montreal album from satanic panic on that i ever listen to. some great stuff on there.

you not alone, bro. kind of weird b/c i can see the hype machine re: burial, dizzee, (britishes + blogs, what can ya do)... but of montreal, kinda don't get how you could feel tricked or fooled. but then the whole concept of being embarrassed by what you like(d) is for gaywads.

hey guys -- in the interest of this thread, i'll now link to reviews of indie rock albums that i wrote in my freshman year of college that will probably embarrass me if i read them again

(with the joanna newsom one, i stayed up all night writing 4 600 word reviews, one of which was menomena & the other of which was fujiya & miyagi, so i think convinced myself that the album is actually good)

haha just those urls are pretty lol

yeah, i mean, i'd like to note that i had no input on headlines

"Bird's latest album just as good as his last one" lol

btw, i hate that the internet stores all of my bad writing, wish i had used a different name

there's a good chance that i never even listened to that annuals album all the way through including in the time that i wrote the review

oh hey my school

word?

i mean i graduated two years ago, but yeah. didn't work for the maneater though, just vox.

i still rep for hell hath no fury definitely. i much prefer it to the re-up gang mixtapes people raved and raved about.

i don't really get regret w.r.t music tho really. when i was tween we listened to nu-metal, black+death metal, hardcore punk, emo + rap and now i just find anything that was corny really hilarious and it brings back loads of memories. as a teenager its easy to convince yourself that stuff is good when its not...kind of miss those days tbh.

being a teenager in the first half of the decade and listening to loads of pretty bad music with my friends

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.

the latter half of the decade where you might buy a bad CD because of bullshit blog hype (e.g my diplo example)

when i went off to university i was mostly still listening to rap exclusively and then when i realised my friends who stayed in london or went to university in 'cooler' cities were all listening to blog house, minimal house or terrrrrible ed banger bullshit i tried to read kewl blogs and bought a few cds to try to catch up. never really got into any of it tho beyond some of the mimimal stuff which i still love.
