Album Club

Even if you guys don't like the album...you could at least try putting forth a halfway thoughtful response. The whole point of this thread is to listen to an album carefully and probe its contents with some depth. You should be making direct references to the album in question, not just saying..."I don't like this cuz it dum." Talk specifically about the individual tracks, the instrumentation, the production, the songwriting etc...and I'm fairly certain it wouldn't kill anyone to use examples. If you want to take up bandwidth with your non-thoughts...most of the threaRAB on this site are devoted to such activity. This thread is supposed to be a reprieve from that nonsense. I understand that what I'm saying here is offensive, but for God's sake people...why frequent a forum if you have no interest in discussion?
 
Blue Cadet-3, Do You Connect? all of which later appeared on Sad Sappy Sucker which was going to be their debut but got shelved until 2001.
 
Mmm, the main reason as to why I didn't like this album is because it was, dare I say it, dull and rather dreary. I mean, as far as song-writing and instrumentation goes, there wasn't anything particularly good about either of those two aspect. Lyrically, it was average, and musically, I just simply found it, as I said, dull and dreary. The thing that really annoyed me was the fact that there was not a single track on the album that stood out at all, and in fact I found it very hard to even denunciate between that different songs, as they seemed to all sound the exact same. And the vocals were bordering on just plain annoying to me during some tracks such as Apple Orchard.
I mean, I guess I could see how this might be something nice to listen to a nice summers night as some one already said, but for me personally, I find it hard to get through the whole album straight through without getting just annoyed or bored and turning it off.
 
I don't think its that bad. Sure it sounded more like an experimental and more amateur Guided By Voices album by therein lies the appeal. Four Fingered Fisherman is a good song as are a few others aside from that it's basically for fans only.
 
Fair enough, but do you see how what you've written could be about any album if we didn't know better? For starters, what about the vocals was annoying? I think that's something which really neeRAB clarification, because I don't see the vocals as conventionally inacessable in any way.
 
Sent out the first album, it's Built to Spill's "Perfect From Now On." It's not too late for anyone to jump in and everyone is welcome to discuss it. I'll post my thoughts on it later today. It doesn't have to be a review or anything just what you think of the album or a response to what someone else thinks, we came up with this to start discussion so yeah.
 
Cool choice, haven't heard BTS for a while but I used to really like them. Will be good to see how this holRAB up now, and of course to see what you guys think as well ;)
