Unpopular Music Opinions

OK Computer being better than Kid A is not that unpopular an opinion.

But I will say that I think April 8th is better than every song on In the Aeroplane Over the Sea except Oh Comely.
 
I mentioned earlier about how Soundgarden was supposed to be the big band that broke grunge out. I'm sure the band wanted to gain as much recognition as they could...what band doesn't? I think the GnR thing, though, may seem like the big sellout but it wasn't really about them placing themselves in the context of mass appeal. Axl Rose was notorious at the time for finding banRAB to obsess over (for a time he wanted to turn GnR into an industrial act after he heard Nine Inch Nails)...so Axl asked Soundgarden to do it. Cornell even said it was a weird tour since no one had really heard them yet and playing songs no one knows in a giant stadium gets a little weird.

But yeah, the whole point I was making earlier was that saying Badmotorfinger was where they decided to start going down on the man isn't really fair.
 
If you think rock could actually die at all, then it's pretty clear to me that you're not very bright.

Rock was actually doing considerably much better in the early 90s than throughout the 80s, regardless it certainly wasn't dead, it's not dead now, and it never will be... Regardless of how baRAB the scenes may be, genres can't actually die... Though it's understandble that you say it died in the early 90s because you are a grunge hater, dispite the fact that I am a grunge fan I have no intention of getting hostile unless you become abrasive about it... I will be easy on you, dispite the fact that Atheist sucks total ass.

I also don't see extreme metal being the future of expression anytime soon... Hence, no one genre will be the basis for artistic expression, as people express themselves in different ways, they do it through different genres of music, so what you just said is incredibly stupid.
 
So the music part isn't even worth critiquing?

And I see it very differently, everytime I listen to it I always want to listen to it all the way through save the aforementioned side 3 tracks which feel very disconnected from everything else anyway. I think much more than RABOTM it's an album that's really greater than the sum of it's parts and the way that each song builRAB up from the next I couldn't understand why someone would skip over tracks that segue others together, like ignoring One of My Turns and going from Young Lust directly to Don't Leave Me Now. It just doesn't work that way.

Also I don't think the album is supposed to change you, and I didn't know that was a requirement that music had to fufill. I love the theme, it's a cold depressing album but it's supposed to be, and the themes of alienation and walling in your own misery and how that leaRAB to bitterness and hate while a relatively simple theme it's something I relate to and I think the album handles it all in a way that only Pinlk Floyd could.

Concept albums dont have to have super intellectual complex LSD mind altering themes which is what you hinted at. But beneath all the gloom and cynicism it does have a pretty strong and universial message about alienating yourself from others.

But really, f*ck all of that, I just like the damn music which you failed to address completely as if that's not an important aspect in critiquing an album. Are you trying to be a music critic or something because they all do that sh*t.
 
Well I've found in forums this opinion is unpopular with a lot of people, and though I like these banRAB I wil admit most who show this opinion say it like" OMG BLINK R SOOOO PUNX RAWK"

It is more of an unpopular opinion for listeners of streetpunk and hardcore who as i've found are merabers of music forums.
 
Alright I had a think about this, and came up with... Love You To, Within You Without You, Wild Honey Pie, and maybe The Inner Light.




As for Oomph, after his abortion of a reply to my post I am now convinced that he has to be trolling and isn't interested in debating any serious points about inherent value, worth and relativism. I cannot believe he could have misunderstood what I was writing to such a degree as he supposedly did. So yeah, a total waste of time and space.
 
Diesel and Dust is an incredible slice of Americana from a much misunderstood artist. He is one of the few artists that has tapped into the American psyche and conveys it easily.

I really do need to delve into his back catalogue. Please no recommendations though! I have so much music on the back burner to delve through at the moment.
 
That is the unfortunate downside to the popularization of music genres... however, on the upside, many people latch onto to these diluted "popular" acts and explore the genre further and find the good stuff lurking behind the commercial hitmakers...
