Sugar's Journey into the Unknown

Its only really the start of stress thats annoying, its a great song once it gets into it :D I'm so happy you overall liked the album, yay! :D
 
I'm the same way of course, in fact most of what I've listened to in the past month or so I would never have even heard of without being part of the forum. I know exactly how you feel, with movies, books, and music, but I just wanted to say that listening to a recommended album is one thing, and making yourself like it because it was recommended is another, so please don't do that.

But I did read your post. I trust that you won't.
 
I've actually discovered a lot of music through this forum.
I didn't just start.

I admitted that I was very close-minded at the start, I didn't even join to stay. It was a project for school.

The basic reason for this thread is for me to listen to music that I hear a lot about but don't know a lot about, not for me to necessarily like it.
There are millions of musicians out there. So I didn't like one of two I reviewed, that's alright. And I'm okay with that.
I've actually heard Public Image, if I'm not mistaken. I didn't like them either.
I don't have to like everything I hear.

If you understand that I'm trying to step out of my comfort zone, you should also understand, by actually reading my reviews, that I'm learning a lot about the way I judge music. And I'm also stepping away from that.
 
I don't think everyone loves Massive Attack. I listen to Mezzanine once in a while and it's a great album, but oddly enough despite my love of trip hop I've never been into anything else by them, Tricky, or Portishead. Just make sure you don't try to force yourself to like anything, though I don't think you need to hear that :)
 
I've only listened to the one Flaming Lips album, all though I own them all. I listened to Soft Bulletin or something while camping once with my sister but it was more of background music and I only spun it once so it didn't get a fair chance. From what I've heard At War With The Mystics is their pop album, so I think it would be fitting to put it on a list meant to introduce someone into more banRAB. I was hoping with many of these artists that she would like, and then go explore their other stuff and give it the light of day- maybe even love it.

Awwsugar, definitely I will get you a link. Do you want me to pick which album I give you the link to? If not just send a PM with the name of it and I should be able to get it to you lickity splickity.
 
Glad you liked that album, it was one of my firsts. Just keep an eye out on that list of mine, they're all pretty good albums all though a few may take just a tad more spins then this did to hit ya. Who knows, maybe not, they all hit me pretty easy.

I'd suggest that Gram Rabbit album next, it's pretty good but odd. Also it's pretty accessible, and was again one of the firsts things I found that I liked. My next two choices out of the bunch would be the Tears For Fears album or The Murder City Devils one. Both easy listening but again both pretty good and have something interesting about them.

I'm sure there's going to be stuff in your journey that rubs ya the wrong way at first but those are usually the things, in my experience, after a while I end-up loving the most about the album and also the things that make them good even a year later. Also those rough spots for me are usually the things that eventually end-up opening my taste up, widening my acceptance, and letting me really enjoy truly great albums that I wouldn't have been able to enjoy otherwise. It's a slow but fulfilling process and should never be forced but rather not even be acknowledged- it's much better to enjoy it while it is happening by simply keeping an open mind and letting the music get to ya. Music is so fucking amazing when the time is just right.
 
Goodness gracious, all of you.
Please take this as a positive experience with me.
As much as I respect you all, I would never adopt your taste in music just for the sake of popularity.
 
(May I ask) what type of music is that?

In a way I feel the same way about the I music I listen to, too. I could write most of what you said, except the part about The Beatles.

Are you taking suggestions, or are you writing about the experience of discovering new music you find?
 
More of the new age "emo" like I said. I try not to bring it up a lot cause I'm not good with genres.
Think Baraboozle.

I'm absolutely taking suggestions.
Thank you. [=
