I just want to point out that Adam has been OTM throughout this thread.

I am kinda coming around to Turrican's theory that if you removed Paul's genre exercises, "Revolution No. 9", "Goodnight", and Ringo's country song, you p much just have a collection of fairly conventional rock and folk songs. Miraculously, the album is also about 2/3rds shorter.
― Οὖτις, Tuesday, 7 November 2017 16:23 (six years ago) link
I'm still working on the logistics of this but also if you remove every track except "Revolution 9" you p much just have a collection of fairly conventional Stockhausen-derivative, dissonant sound collages, to which the 1968 pop-buying public was thoroughly inured thanks to the avant-garde boundary-pushing of Dickie Goodman and Dave Seville.

I don't find any of Adam's examples spooky at all. If he's evacuating his bowels over 'Cry Baby Cry' and 'The Continuing Story of Bungalow Bill', then I'd shudder to think of what happens when he hears 'Blue Jay Way' ... that probably eradicates his bowels, and in the big scheme of things that isn't particularly spooky either, but it has a "bad vibes" feel that pretty much every track on The Beatles lacks.

seriously are you eight years old or whatdude just stop it with this "wahh what a widdle baby" schtick, it is the most boring possible response to people describing what they hear in a record

Well firstly, I registered here in 2011 so technically you're not far off.
Secondly, I seriously can't help being amused when something is described as something that it clearly isn't and when people read things into things that aren't there - it makes me seriously question their abilities as a critic.
― Gholdfish Killah (Turrican), Tuesday, 7 November 2017 18:36 (six years ago) link
Turdican isn't interested what people hear in a record, they're interested in what THEY hear in a record, and they NEED you to be interested in that too
fortunately there is a way to avoid them

i seriously questioned your abilities as a critic after you spoke favorably about a bunch of shitty music for several years straight
is it cool to post on this thread if i'm not a critic? oh please, just let me be a silent observer of these hallowed grounds where those who can hear The Way occasionally gift us commoners with a glimpse of their wisdom

I mean, there's some decent songs on The Beatles in amongst the crap, and there's some enjoyable moments, but if you're spooked out by Desmond and his barrow in the marketplace, then there's professional help available for that.

I mean, it's 2017... if the Beatles cult can't accept by now that not everything they did was up to par and that quite a fair bit of the mythology is bullshit, then fucking hell...

I mean, there are some decent scenes in The Shining in amongst the crap, but if you're spooked by two girls wanting to have a playdate, then there's professional help available for that.

I mean, people keep talking about the hotel being cursed by Native Americans, but there are no Native Americans in that film. When something is described as something that it clearly isn't and when people read things into things that aren't there - it makes me seriously question their abilities as a critic.

Nobody ITT said that they were frightened of Obladi Oblada. However plenty of people have cited multiple specific moments on this record they found creepy in tone. Love it when Turrican reads into things that aren't there

I don't hear "bad vibes" in "Blue Jay Way" personally. it's (yet another) Beatles song about being sleepy/tired!

The Shining is the wrong example. See The Beatles as being more like Despicable Me 3, if the film was nearly 50 years old and had a dedicated cult fanbase over-analysing it over numerous years to the point where the myth has spiralled out of control.
― Gholdfish Killah (Turrican), Tuesday, 7 November 2017 18:54 (six years ago) link
Frederik, you'll have to point me to some posts you've made on funk threads... all I seem to see you talking about is the Arcade Fire.

There was that thread about famous funk and Talking Heads who are the musical equivalent of Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs 2 had it bombed at the cinema in 1933 but grown a passionate cult following to the point that in the mid-80s meatball sales sky rocketed
