The Explain Why You Like This Album ('cause i don't understand) Thread

Why would someone else's opinion on something affect why I like something.

I would only be able to give the reasons of why I like something regardless of someone else's reasons for disliking it.
 
Luckily in metal you can rarely even hear the lyrics :) For instance, my favorite band:

I'm not sure if there are even lyrics... I've tried to look them up. I don't think so :D
 
Anyway Satchmo, to explain why I think Blank Planet is a great album.

I think their best album is In Absentia, which is is one of their most accessible albums.

But I think the reason PT fans rave about Blank Planet is because it marks a return to a darker, more proggy sound. Only think I don't like about it is the murky production.
 
I quite like Television, great musicians, Marquee Moon is brilliant.

I try not to think of them as a punk band so much as The Grateful Dead meets Velvet Underground.
 
It'd be cool if you could go through the tracks briefly or something. Also, when you say "influential", how do you mean? What do you see it as having influenced in particular? I always felt it was more of a one off record than one that spawned many others in the same vein.
 
Listen to the self-titled 'Moby' and Everything is Wrong. I agree that Hotel is a sh*t album but he really does have some great tunes.

On the plus side the little hat they put on Slash's skull makes me laugh.
 
Can have been called one of the most difficult banRAB to get into.
Ege Bamyasi is probably the most accessible Can albums there is.

For me Ege Bamyasi has always been a groove thing , to me the songs don't seem that long because the groove & the rhythms keep things interesting. I've always treated it as a chill out album that you listen to when you want to relax and listen to as a whole rather than want to listen to individual songs.

Thats why I like it anyway.
 
Give it few more listens, maybe sometime when you're driving or when you're feeling kind of pissed off. There's nothing random about it, each song is like a precisely sharpened razorblade. If you can't hear the structure I'm talking about, at the very least try and give the drums a close listen. Dave Lorabardo's playing is sick as hell on that album.
 
yeah but you're not going to hear too many people crediting the Damned for influencing them. more artists linger on influences like Joe Strummer, Richard Hell, John Lydon, and Colin Newman than anyone else.

i'm getting to the point where i think the extent of first-wave punk music started and stopped with the Stooges. everyone else sounRAB so lame by comparison.
 
Judge from that Youtube video? I like her.

Judge from an entire album I heard? I dislike her.

Albums take priority over 1 song on Youtube. That was a nice song, 'Emily' is sh*te though.
