one of the starkest and most stressful rock albums ever, no relief or release at all (or when it comes it feels mocking)

You're really selling it Simon!

I mean, it also rocks and has riffs and stuff

WAY too low
― gr8080, Friday, 10 March 2017 14:38 (nine years ago)
oh whoops forgot that one lol
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Friday, 10 March 2017 14:39 (nine years ago)
this album comes so close to being too clever for its own good so many times but just barely stays course
― gr8080, Friday, 10 March 2017 14:41 (nine years ago)
also this post-reunion braid track would be high on my tracks ballot https://youtu.be/BF4r32HxhFs

Don't sleep on No Coast either
― gr8080, Friday, 10 March 2017 14:43 (nine years ago)
Oh now this is too low
tt played me about two songs off this and I put it in my top 5 I think?

I voted for the fugazi but had to cut the Braid album from my longlist as I hadnt heard it in years
― Odysseus, Friday, 10 March 2017 14:55 (nine years ago)
it will sound better than you remember
― gr8080, Friday, 10 March 2017 14:57 (nine years ago)
2 down, 1 to go:
Promise Ring - Nothing Feels Good // Braid - Frame and Canvas // Get Up Kids - 4 Minute Mile //

haven't been able to stop listening to lp2. goldsmith's ghost notes on "iscarabraid" are incredible, i don't think i ever noticed them before. can u believe dave grohl recorded over all of goldsmith's drum tracks for the colour and the shape? (i can but what a shame)

It's going to be fun when 4 None Blondes top this poll
― Odysseus, Friday, 10 March 2017 15:34 (nine years ago)
well yknow you can't spell "4 non blondes" without...oh actually nevermind

― Mordy, Friday, 10 March 2017 15:47 (nine years ago)
YES!!!
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Friday, 10 March 2017 15:49 (nine years ago)
can't stand bright eyes but this record is indisputable
― devvvine, Friday, 10 March 2017 15:49 (nine years ago)
Listening to Braid again for the 1st time in years and it really should have been on my ballot.
― Odysseus, Friday, 10 March 2017 15:50 (nine years ago)
This is also great and also went straight into my ballot after a couple of songs
― an uptempo Pop/Hip Hop mentality (imago), Friday, 10 March 2017 15:50 (nine years ago)
this album proves that oberst is emo cause the only way you wouldn't make a bunch more records like this was if you hated fun
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Friday, 10 March 2017 15:50 (nine years ago)
I thought Desaparecidos would be top 10. Great album.
This was my number one!!
― cajunsunday, Friday, 10 March 2017 15:51 (nine years ago)
the perfect situation for conor oberst's voice is extremely loud electric guitars, which is why bright eyes records always sound like gross miscalculations to me
― the raindrops and drop tops of lived, earned experience (BradNelson), Friday, 10 March 2017 15:53 (nine years ago)
haven't heard any of the last three.
― Lebro v. Wade (Spottie), Friday, 10 March 2017 15:54 (nine years ago)
amazing album
― gr8080, Friday, 10 March 2017 15:55 (nine years ago)
can't imagine you wouldn't love desaparecidos spottie
― the raindrops and drop tops of lived, earned experience (BradNelson), Friday, 10 March 2017 15:55 (nine years ago)
will def check it
― Lebro v. Wade (Spottie), Friday, 10 March 2017 15:56 (nine years ago)
love the keyboards on this album too
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Friday, 10 March 2017 15:57 (nine years ago)
lol

He wanted to move away from the sound of Commander Venus
― Odysseus, Friday, 10 March 2017 16:00 (nine years ago)
lol I forgot how ridiculous the "candid" "man on the street" clips on this album are <3 <3 <3
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Friday, 10 March 2017 16:01 (nine years ago)
hate bright eyes so much that I've never listened to this despite all of the praise. need to finally break down and check it out.
― cwkiii, Friday, 10 March 2017 16:01 (nine years ago)
to reiterate brad's earlier point I'm extremely stoked that this soundly defeated all the bright eyes albums
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Friday, 10 March 2017 16:04 (nine years ago)
I love that the b-sides flow into each other with a segue, classic rare advanced wanker move
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Friday, 10 March 2017 16:05 (nine years ago)
Someone had nominated this album as Read Music/SpeakEnglish, and it almost ended up that way in the rollout, if only just one person out of nine hadn't corrected it :)
― ArchCarrier, Friday, 10 March 2017 16:11 (nine years ago)
I had no idea Billy Milano was an ilxor
― Odysseus, Friday, 10 March 2017 16:14 (nine years ago)
xpost Yeah I noticed that when voting - I couldn't very well put the wrong title for my number one. It deserved better!
― cajunsunday, Friday, 10 March 2017 16:18 (nine years ago)
I'm not sure if anyone has linked to this masterpiece of experimental criticism yet: http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/2288-read-music-speak-spanish/
― ArchCarrier, Friday, 10 March 2017 16:22 (nine years ago)
lol I did earlier, though there's plenty more where that came from
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Friday, 10 March 2017 16:23 (nine years ago)
this album was so good it transcended my teen pitchfork-reader bias
OK, I wasn't sure, and too lazy to check.
This is a great album btw. Hadn't heard it before.

this album set a template from which emo is still recovering
― the raindrops and drop tops of lived, earned experience (BradNelson), Friday, 10 March 2017 16:28 (nine years ago)
still: great record
