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

holy fucking shit @ rosetta stoned lyrics.. i can't believe those are real.

also i can't believe no one has mentioned screamo/post-hardcore bullshit.. i fell for that hard in the early 00s

And after calming me down
with some orange slices
and some fetal spooning,
E.T. revealed to me his singular purpose.
He said, "You are the Chosen One,
the One who will deliver the message.
A message of hope for those who choose to hear it
and a warning for those who do not."
Me. The Chosen One?
They chose me!!!
And I didn't even graduate from fuckin' high school.

unforgivable imo

knew someone was gonna mention Blood Brothers eventually - BPIB still bangs obv

i need to relisten to this song just to hear how maynard sings the word 'thingy'

Loving the YouTube comments for "Reflection":

It´s all about the fucking music... you don´t have to know anything about the band, just listen to the beautiful music they made for you...
I listen to Tool because i really LOVE their songs, I don´t even care for Maynard´s private life...
btw: Coke Zero sucks...

lolistening now - he's reciting most of the wacky shit which is buried under their standard math-chug. it would be almost cool if this sounded psychedelic in any way but its exactly like every other Tool song.

The Decemberists, specifically Picaresque O_O

this. my god.

blood brothers is a good one!

Comment on the "Vicarious" video:

I cried hysterically watching the baby drown. This band evokes the deepest emotions inside of me.

Sigur Ros version:

I cried hysterically watching the baby drown being born. This band evokes the deepest emotions inside of me.

loooooool

seriously though, listening to "Reflection" now and this is ace. Lateralus holds up

xpost Maynard sounds a little like Weezy on this part, needs more autotune

Strapped down to my bed
Feet cold, eyes red
I'm out of my head
Am I alive? Am I dead?
Can't remember what they said
God damn...SHIT THE BED

xpost i'll rep for blood brothers up until their last album, which i haven't heard. though my opinion might be clouded by nostalgia. i'll have another listen and report back

shiiiiiiittttt theeeeee beeeedddd agaaaaaiiiinn

how does someone come up with that in the studio?

i want a mashup of this and one of the songs from St. Anger

i rage i glaze i hurt i hate i shiiiiiiittttt theeeeee beeeedddd agaaaaaiiiinn

seriously though, listening to "Reflection" now and this is ace. Lateralus holds up

^

"Parabola" -- also ace.

indeed

that's suddenly turned into a hold steady lyric xxp

LJ your answers so far on this thread are disappointing to me.

What, in that I fell for them in the first place, or that I abandoned them? 14 year-old LJ had a big place in his heart for the second Coldplay album*, what can I say

*except for Green Eyes which was always ten tons of High And Dry esque bullshit

you will be the oneee screeaaammiinnnggg ooooouuutt

i shiiiiiiittttt theeeeee beeeedddd agaaaaaiiiinn

Suggestions for LJ:

65DaysOfStatic
Elbow
Late Of The Pier
Melt-Banana
Mew
Mogwai (post-2003 or so)
Oceansize
Max Tundra
Xasthur

groanworthy alt-rap circa 01 vs tryhard neon bullshit mid-decade, take your pick

that is more the sense in which i registered disappointment, yup xp

65DaysOfStatic - still fucking great, fth
Elbow - first three records are still very good, although I don't listen to them so much now and can understand the criticism
Late Of The Pier - jesus dude these guys are AWESOME and will get AWESOMER
Melt-Banana - WAHT, suggest fucking ban if you carry on like this
Mew - finally! a good suggestion! although again, some of their stuff still rocks
Mogwai (post-2003 or so) - never fell for Mogwai post-Happy Songs that much tbh
Oceansize - nope, still awesome
Max Tundra - nope, still awesome
Xasthur - nope, still oh cmon stop trollin' me

Mew is about as close as you'll get to an admission of culpability

max tundra = shite

actually my definitive answer here is destroyer's rubies

I still cringe with embarrassment after bragging to my friends that I had inside knowledge that it was going to get a pfork 10.0 thanks to getting duped by that ilm thread

:(

Was just hoping you'd show up, Herman.

What's your answer?

xpost

white rose movement too, was all excited that I was into a band's single before that single got a 5 star review from pfork, thus validating my ahead of the curve hipster taste

i actually bought a copy of the first coldplay album because i read somewhere that it sounded like the chameleons and talk talk! talk about a bum tip! this is why i stayed away from that other band that got compared to talk talk. the one with the singer who sounds like peter gabriel. i'm blanking on their name...

um elbow maybe :D

cast Destroyer's Rubies into the flames, trust dyao he had his reasons

suprised not to see the darkness in this thread

SSSHHHHHHHHHHIIIIIITTTT TTTHHHHHEHEEEEEE BBBBBBBBEEEEEEDDDD AAAAAGGGGGGAAIIIIIIIIIINNNNN

i shiiiiiiittttt theeeeee beeeedddd agaaaaaiiiinn

I'm gonna get shit for this but kanye west - graduation. still can't see why it's his definitive album. 808 and heartbreaks much better imo

gettttttttttttttttttt a fuccccccccccccckiiinnnnnnng bloooggggggggg you twwwwwwwwwwwwwo

xpost

Was just hoping you'd show up, Herman.

What's your answer?

i agree with whoever it was said that this thread is full of people who bought cds by bands who were hip and now they're not hip anymore they dont like them. (not in all cases though, but otherwise it does smack of that)

Yes that's mostly true but you're avoiding the question.

What's *your* answer?

I'm gonna get shit for this but kanye west - graduation. still can't see why it's his definitive album. 808 and heartbreaks much better imo

i don't think anyone wouldn't argue that The College Dropout is his definitive album

haha I just read through this thread and was surprised at all the revisionist history going on. definitely remember a large number of people itt and on this board stanning for graduation as album of the year when it came out

oh and its not the arcade fire, i still like their albums. So I cant think of anything I've bought that I regret. After buying the 2nd last Suede album (which was shit) with the internet making hearing things easy, i vowed not to buy so much stuff blind based on reviews. I d/l the last Suede album, it was even worse so I didn't buy it.
Im sure there's stuff I bought i might not play much of (i do like to get all albums by a band/act if i like something by them) but I honestly cant think of anything i really hate and regret buying offhand. If i do, I'll be sure to let you know.

i like graduation a lot. i even like the chris martin song.

i dont listen to a perfect circle anymore so that's as close as i can get. Will that do ,ilxor?

Still love Tool though, always have since the 1st ep came out.

Herman, you like the Arcade Fire?? O_o

That's not very metal of you.
