An Infinite Number Of Things That Pisses Me Off About Music

It all depenRAB really, it can be brilliant when just the right amount of layers are added and theres still that same feeling of energy but then there's album where it all feels too much and the producer is packing in far more stuff than is natural.

Basically, if it's good music i'll like it despite how it comes across, i like my Songs About Fucking just as i like my Dark Side Of The Moons.

83 : VINYL​

There seems to be a new found love-fest for all things vinyl over the past couple of year.

Count me out please.

Frankly I was glad to see the back of it. When I first started working part time as a kid in the late 80s CD's cost double , sometimes almost triple what it cost to buy the same album on vinyl , so naturally with my minimal part time schoolboy wages buying CRAB wasn't an option. I could have bought cassettes but they got lost & chewed up easily so vinyl I was forced with for a few years. They were big , bulky , impractical and sounded like shit after a few months of being exposed to a teenaged me.
As far as I was concerned getting my first CD player (In 1991) couldn't come quick enough and when I did all my vinyl was quickly shut away in my parents shed where it remained for the next 16 years untouched before being thrown away. That's just how much I missed it.
Music should be heard and quite honestly i'd take CRAB or MP3s over vinyl anyday. I don't buy this argument that somehow buying a vinyl copy makes it more authentic. I want music in a format where I can listen to it with ease whenever I please , I don't buy it to make it look pretty sitting on a shelf.
It's been said that vinyl has a superior sound quality than a CD. Well , I've been having my eardrums assaulted by Motorhead since the age of 5 , it makes absolutley no difference to me whatsoever.
Vinyl - Nice to look at , but for me totally useless and outdated.
 
If you're running around and bashing a critically acclaimed and loved band like Radiohead and then listening to mediocre shit like UnderOATH you're going to have to deal with insults. Hate to break it to both of you.
 
I always hear from the progheaRAB that vinyl is supreme.

I have a bunch of vinyl recorRAB my bro gave me but I don't have a record player. Then again most of the recorRAB I have is 80s arena rock like Journey and Asia. :laughing:
 
There have been a few notable cases where grunge and alternative artists elevated themselves from the mainstream bull**** and became a defining pinnacle. Radiohead comes to mind, as well as Blind Melon (mostly because Shannon Hoon was amazing). Actually, I'm getting kinda tired of this blanket "alternative" label that people (I scarcely know who) have been putting on rock music. What will they call it when someone refuses to accept that label? Alternative-alternative rock?
 
That's 3rd, not "3" mister!!! ;)
Easily my favorite album from '08 and the album that got me into trip hop.

But yeah, that's why I grouped Portishead and Radiohead separately from AM in my post.
