The point of these threads is to encourage people to look for new and interesting music. We do this by listening to and ideally discussing albums we've never heard before. Many of us already listen to new music daily, these people are in it to venture "out of their comfort zone" by listening to albums they otherwise wouldn't have, or just to have a good time.
i wonder what Consume Red would sound like in reverse.
Ian Clark
even worse?
Easton James
It makes a completely different album. It inspired Kendrick Lamar's latest album.
Lincoln Rogers
some shit been on my mine lately..
aside from maybe a dozen artists ever, lyricists aren't even worth half a shit as poets so evaluating lyricism, especially in popular music, (or at least holding it as such an important aspect of music) is essentially pointless
in the world of semi-well-known music, I can list maybe a dozen artists who are good lyricsts AND songwriters
stephin merritt the friedberger duo dylan cohen mf doom van zandt /maybe/ nick cave (usually not though) elliott smith mitchell walker elverum jamie stewart
at least in the english language that's all I could come up with
holding lyricism in such a high regard, occasionally on the same level as the actual music (looking at you christgau and r/hiphopheads) is a stupid way music nerds have made art more academic and less accessible
idk I'm really jetlagged atm so I'm more prone to shit takes. Debate me or don't ig
Grayson Jones
also holding lyricism in such high regard makes your taste in music very anglocentric and ur probably racist for doing so sorry sweaty ;)
Ryan Gutierrez
lyrics are a meme anyway
though i did a panera bread commercial a 4.5 so what do i know
Isaac White
>lyricists aren't even worth half a shit as poets but would poets even be worth a shit as lyricists? they're meant to be consumed differently so they're written differently so you can't hold them to the same standards. doesn't mean you're not allowed to let them influence your score or anything like that. they have an effect.
Zachary Clark
Seek counselling for your autism, jesus fuck.
Jack Reed
These are just artists who write like written-word poets though. You’re conflating the two. It’s an overly highbrow outlook on songwriting. Everything looks like a nail when you’re a hammer, etc.
Who’s to say Hank Williams or Woodie Guthrie don’t write just perfectly for their music? This should be the better yardstick.
Thomas Jackson
ALSO ANYONE THAT DOES THAT SHIT WHERE THEY CITE ONE MEME LYRIC AS A REASON THAT A RAPPER IS BAD (ex: "I keep it 300 like the romans", "doritos, fritos, or cheetos", etc.) YOU ARE 1000% A COP
I've probably had this take before, but when I see albums like Pure Comedy get so much praise for being essentially good poetry set to mediocre/bad music it really confuses me and makes it seem like people care about lyricism almost MORE than they do the actual music
>doesn't mean you're not allowed to let them influence your score or anything like that. they have an effect. Not at all what I'm saying. There are plenty musicians (specifically the ones I listed, plus probably many others) which are very worth evaluating for their lyrics. My central point is that the list of people who are good lyricists is so minuscule that placing music on the same pedestal as the lyrics is worthless. Lyrics are a tiny aspect of songwriting, and to many songwriters, almost an afterthought.
>they're meant to be consumed differently so they're written differently so you can't hold them to the same standards I agree. This also means we shouldn't evaluate music like it is poetry then.
Again, my point is how music reviewers look at music in a poetic "academic" sense which is imo harmful to the artform and pointless
hii ;)
>It’s an overly highbrow outlook on songwriting this is actually a really good point and part of what I was trying to say. Writing lyrics that suit your music is a million times more effective than writing "good" "poetic" lyrics.
The list I made was just the small list of people I could think of that were good poets in a traditional sense and good songwriters just as proof that the list is so small and evaluating all music on that scale is worthless.
Thomas Gomez
sorry about the autism I have homework to do bii
Aiden Thompson
ah yeah we pretty much agree then. i suspect most people would principially agree as well but still do this "meme one awkward line to make a song look ridiculous" thing you're probably talking about to be cheeky cunts?
Dylan Walker
Yeah, I agree then. Critics ought to care more about lyrics to the extent that they work with the music. I think successful lyrics should just go by unnoticed a lot of times. Doesn't need to be literary or bold or extravagant unless the music calls for it
Kayden Miller
idk I've seen this image plenty times as "proof" mf doom is bad but idc if it's a meme anyone that shares it is a cop 1000000%
>I think successful lyrics should just go by unnoticed a lot of times. Doesn't need to be literary or bold or extravagant unless the music calls for it yes yes yes
Jason Taylor
>I think successful lyrics should just go by unnoticed a lot of times. wtf no that's not it why
Hunter Flores
Because it’s a sign that music and meaning are simpatico
Aiden Wright
Just because you consume music too fast to understand the lyrics doesn't mean they are worthless and not important.
Jeremiah Brown
Looks like you forgot all the jazz and classical.
Jacob Martinez
this seems like it's more about how music nerds take a goofy ass album like madvillainy as seriously as they do than how doom is bad, could be about iaots as well for all i care no you see your generalization fails at the most basic principle which is lyrics i like > lyrics i don't like fuck off racist

>Zach Phillips - I Can't Predict My Past Actions >pop like a sad, gross ball of pop synths, young adult angst, and bill wurtz conglomerated together. 5-
>Joanna Wang - House of Bullies >Art Pop, Avant Prog The poppier, more broadway based version of Kilo Kish - Reflections in Real Time. Both are very polished, and the strange slice-of-life songwriting exude charm with loneliness. Interesting backstory, and also kinda shows why this isn't nearly as diverse sounding as it could have been.
7
>Hail - Hello Debris >Prog Pop Probably the cleanest and most consistent sounding album I've heard on this chart thus far, making the album very consistently enjoyable. Lighter on the zany aspects, but the, subtle synths, excellent drumming, and stolid vocals work very well. Songs like Hello 1 and The Bridge Song Not an outright shocking album, but just about as comfy as a warm drink. The drifting between rock jams and pop melodies is even more curious when the instruments accompanying said structures can travel anywhere between psychedelic to baroque. Gladly handing this an 8.
Only girls or dudes? Welp, looks like I'll have to sit this one out.

I've been filling in what I've been listening to when on holiday on rym and aside from the Candy Claws LP my ratings have been literally the same as Accel am I a subconscious drone or something Some albums lose a lot of their inherent value when listened to without lyrics though. I also dislike pure comedy but for artists like Kate Tempest it's vital to be paying attention to lyricism

Alright r/daily, since I never did that stupid daily chart and I'm getting sick of this equally stupid freeform chart, I'm going to be doing a tournament, so you fuckers better join. The rules/guidelines are as follows:
All entries require three (3) albums of any length for each stage of the tournament (nothing over 2/3 hours unless you really want me to). Entry can be any album, even ones I've heard before (yes even Bryter Layter). I have NOT listened to any of the classics/mu core/daily core/poseur core, so anything is fair game. My rym: rateyourmusic.com/~crunchmiser so plebs can custom tailor their submissions. Be strategic with your entries, I have incredibly impressionable taste so really do save the best for last.
Hopefully this'll give me something to do for a good week or so, don't disappoint and good luck.

Right but you doubt this phenomenon exists? That a song can have a really ill-advised or meaningless or stupid or clunky lyric without any second thought that really misses the mark. It's not at all in line with the intended meaning or mood. And the added dimension...is that it's bad?
I get it, you'll say there's no objectively proving something is bad.

Who is the most mysterious /daily/ user?
Jonathan Green
haino's been shilling his music in here for years he doesn't even have an rym.
>Hobo Cubes - Timeless/Mindless decent progressive electronics. i wish the tracks had more time to develop. hobo cubes hits be hardest when they develop on a sound for so long you just melt into it.
>Sun Araw - The Saddle of the Increate some real weird shit, which is surprising from what i had heard from araw up to this point. everything i had heard from him up to this point were psychy tropical jams, so i was surprised when someone suggested this for my "post internet" list. while i can't really say it fits that label (sadly) i can say it's fairly unique. it turns out that mr. araw ha not changed in seven years as much as he did distill, and not in the normal ways of either becoming extremely poppy or wallofsound noise drone. araw has converted the summery slime into a paradise of midi controllers, ragas, and bleeps not out of place on a bbc radiophonic workshop compilation. the sound is both alien and familiar, playing well off the rest of araw's discography. don't take this as me saying it's just a cool gimmick either. you could easily put this on and drift away regardless of how avant you go. hoping to see more cowboy fetishism from this boy in the very near future.
>A. G. Cook & Life Sim - Xtreme Mixology i wish it was harder. life sim's minimalist style held back cook's primal urge to make this into the nu style gabber masterpiece that it contains in its web. there is a lot to like about it though. big bratt is a bump.
Ethan Thompson
>Michael Pisaro / Barry Chabala / Katie Porter - Asleep, Street, Pipes, Tones bass clarinet and electric guitar imitate the sounds of urban environments, or is it the other way around? for those still iffy on onkyo/eai stuff, there are a lot of melodic passages on here. the technique of alternating waves of silence and audio is used to amazing effect here. there's such a wonderful variety that every passage is welcome and memorable.
>Leyland Kirby - Eager to Tear Apart the Stars the album suffers in a lot of the same ways that many of his other acoustic works do. too much space with too little structure, and fairly muddy production. no longer distance than death contains an exciting passage that consists of in key bass distortion threatening to destroy my computer which is really exciting.
what next?

take this with a grain of salt, because Torment Saint isn't the best source, but I think a lot of Elliott's lyrics were co-written, or entirely written by someone else, at least around the roman candle/self-titled era.
Aiden Long
The Unkle Adams shitposting got me to try one of his songs, I regret it
That was pretty good, how is the rest of the album? Rabbota Ho's music took very different approaches on each album, their most famous is like DEVO while Tanets is like some extremely demented dance punk music.
Ryan Anderson
hello pick something from this i haven't numbered even if it just looks neat
The Twin Fantasy remake made more sense on Famous Prophets, which I actually liked much more. Rest of the album is ehhh, so it turns up to be just ok in the end.

Isaiah Cooper
I even decide on the rating before opening rym to ensure that I'm not subconsciously affected by the overall score or "the most important tastemakers on the Internet" score, I suspect the similarity has something to do with the extreme bias towards electronic music in general we both seem to have
>Head and Leg Absolutely one of the most oddball albums I've ever heard (and actually relatively difficult to find in good quality). It has a few really intense sonic moments (some dreamscapes, put the cow into the machine) but a large section of the appeal of the album is in the spoken word (I dream of Jesus, with in, womb room, teeth, I've all memorised accidentally from repeated listens). Each track is so polarising, a few even I really hate (Billy, Hey fat lady, Hits Keep Comin') but it's all so memeable and fun that I can't help but love it
Brandon Anderson
Famous Prophets is the only song that was significantly better. Everything else was just a slightly-worse version of an existing song or unnecessarily dramatically overhauled production-wise.
honestly same except antifa instead of furry (same thing??)

Dylan Carter
just wanted to have a moan about yer hot take
how many people actually judge lyrics on their own as poetry? i think most people do realise songwriting is different with having to account for rhythm and the like more.

An album from an obscure Dutch electronic musician, this is isolated and dreamy as hell, grasps a new age aesthetic without being kitschy, and is complete synth wankery. It's a damn shame it was Enno Velthuys' last release before his passing, he manages to reach that same little world that Mark Pritchard does in Under the Sun.
but the original version sounds like fuckin trash, his songwriting didn't deserve that. the remake should of been even more polished tbqh

Juan Evans

Camden Powell
>Tropic of Cancer - Restless Idylls (2013)
Gothic, cold, mysterious, but always mercurial. Minimal- or Darkwave seems to be the consensus...I’m an expert on neither and this is the outer limits of stuff I typically look out for, but I’ll still say there’s something really appealing about it. There’s this lo-fi, haunted, Dirty Beaches feel to it. Actually, Twin Peaks isn’t a bad analogy. It’s always on the verge of something simple and uplifting (or alternatively, melancholy) like shoegaze or something one could dance to, but always slightly off-kilter and with unresolved melodies. 6.5/10
>Carla dal Forno - You Know What It's Like (2016)
I’ve listened to this about this minimal wave album about a hundred times now and it’s getting no easier to get a handle on. I can connect with it all right but the music is of a fleeting nature...lo-fi, nostalgic, gothic, emotionally detached, but never without any catchiness at its heart. It’s like Carla dal Forno wanted to deliver this perverse, deconstructed form of pop music—the simple, downtrodden, yet undeniably catchy hook of “What You Gonna Do Now?” set to an almost danceable best. She’s glaringly removed only the joy from pop music. Which isn’t to say I get the feeling this is avant-garde or satirical or overly self-aware to make a cultural statement. I’m aware that these sound like hurdles to an enjoyable work, but the end product is a tense and poignant album. 7/10
Henry Jones
neither, i just generally think this idea that a holistically coherent song is the ideal is boring af
Austin Flores
Ok so what's a better rule? Keep in mind, I made no generalization to begin with and said that lyrics should be what the music calls for
Nathaniel Miller
>lyrics should be what the music calls for implies >a holistically coherent song is the ideal , >music should be this or that implies >generalization
Andrew Johnson
Oh right, that part is a generalization. But I think an all-encompassing one. Even an instance of lyrics standing in stark contrast with the music can be beautiful if done well and arguably in line with my point of lyrics fitting the music. You know, as an intentional, meaningful jarring juxtaposition if that's the angle. But the flip side of course is that jarring lyrics aren't automatically better and more meaningful than holistically simpatico lyrics
Aiden Reyes
ehh yeah okay sure but intentional and meaningful are ofc iffy and i only got needlessly hung up on your original statement anyways, which implied you don't like any lyrics that hit you and obviously no one does that, also the thing that i got at with this is too far removed from that original misunderstanding that i feel like this is getting pointless and stupid but i don't get hung up on offhand silly lyrics so that it ruines a song too often i think. if you listened to it a couple times because it's otherwise good you'll have just accepted that as a part of it anyway
Logan Powell
Oh right, I just meant that lyrics don’t always need to hit you like a brick wall and that it’s ok for them to blend in. I’m glad not everyone’s trying to be Dylan
Owen King

Just listened to Batsumi s/t, enjoyed it quite a bit. (Having relatively few references for African jazz,) it reminded me of what Machito might sound like if he evolved his sound from big band to a more modern (60s/70s) jazz sound. Or maybe if the Wild Tchoupitoulas didn't have their funk/Mardi Gras ingredient. Wow, bad take.

Okay I should’ve stopped trusting RYM for hip-hop a long time ago but this is the last straw.
Little Brother - The Listening (2002)
Honestly, I could write the same exact review here that I just wrote for Nia. The theme of the album is engaging listeners on a deeper level, because they’re concerned for the genre and casual fans who don’t pay attention to wordplay or subject matter. At the turn of the century, this was a huge concern because hip-hop was breaking into the mainstream with hits but Little Brother tackles this shift awkwardly. They spend the whole album rapping about how hip-hop needs a lyrical focus and end up talking about nothing! The irony is I got sick of listening to them ramble on about stupid shit because they said the same thing over and over again. 9th Wonder is also clearly the star of the show here, his beats ooze with positivity and have this soulful sound I dig. He also flips a bunch of random samples fantastically, from Gil Scott-Heron to Stereolab (twice!), Bobby Womack and Pete Rock. Honestly, without his beats this album would be bland and even then, his style is a bit one note.
I think an album like this was important in the underground - since hip-hop needs a bit of a balance between street and conscious lyrics. But on its own, it’s dated and nothing too special beyond 9th Wonder’s beats. Not nearly as exciting as The Minstrel Show.
Eh.

i am going to see the fish movie soon but i'm discouraged because the conversation online is getting really bloated. like people are strictly discussing the fishfuck meme. plus i feel like it's gonna be some very heavy-handed metaphor that's really obnoxious and obvious can anyone confirm or deny

Cooper Ramirez
Buck Biloxi and the Fucks - Streets of Rage (2015) >garage punk, punk rock
Anything I can say about this record is better summed up by its only RYM review: "Young, dumb and full of scum. Charmingly inept and surprisingly tight". This has a very '90s, Goner Records vibe to it, like a Reatards album that doesn't quite have Jay Reatard's songwriting prowess. So yeah, the songwriting is certainly weak, but that's mostly made up for by the sheer youthful energy of the whole thing, and that absolutely ripping guitar tone.
2.5-
Creedence Clearwater Revival - Bayou Country (1969) >swamp rock
Probably the weakest out of the three CCR records I've heard so far. I like my CCR either low-key, country-fried, and poppy (Green River) or long, drawn-out, and jammy (Cosmo's Factory), and this is kind of an awkward middle point between these two styles. It's very indebted to straight-up blues rock, and it's rather awkward, Fogerty's vocals really don't do too well here, and I normally love him as a vocalist. "Proud Mary" is obviously a great track, and it's a fine album overall, just not up to snuff with the band's normal quality.
2.5+
oh hey what's up dude?
William Sullivan
hey nat how u?
found out I have lyme, so that sux. tired af all the time been playing/hosting a bunch of shows w/ the band did my first solo primitivism set last night, went well
Joseph Wilson
Various Artists - The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975) >film soundtrack, glam rock, rock opera
I could go on for a while about Rocky Horror as a film, and, of course, as a viewing experience. I've seen it about 5 times, and I can safely say that listening to the soundtrack offers a more cohesive story line than actually watching the film with a packed audience, shadow performance or not. This is an incredibly entertaining, campy album, just like the film. Problem is some songs really aren't that great. You know all the great, famous songs here. "The Time Warp", "Science Fiction/Double Feature", "Sweet Transvestie", and the absolutely sublime "Over at the Frankenstein Place". The rest is a lot more hit-or-miss, ranging from pretty standard glam rock to some decidedly sub-standard rock & roll attempts. It's entertaining, just know that some of these songs work a lot better with the film in mind.
2.5
Ryan Young
anyone else here still eat their boogers?
Ian Lee
doing good! catching a lot of films, doing really well in school, good shit.
sorry to hear about the lyme dude, what do you do to combat that?
and that's fucking rad dude, any video of it?
Oliver Sullivan
>catching a lot of films I've been catching up on a lot of last year seen anything good?
>what do you do to combat that? antibiotics and about 50 thousand probiotics and vitamins and supplements lucky for me my mom started working as a Lyme specialist last year with like the leading Lyme doctor in the US lol
>any video of it? sadly no :'( gunna make recordings soon tho
Zachary Bennett
The Jayhawks - Tomorrow the Green Grass (1995) >alt-country, americana
I drove back to school on a dark highway road listening to this, and that's just a totally ideal circumstance to be listening to an album like this. This is a massive improvement over Hollywood Town Hall, which is a palatable if really uninspired country rock album. This is still incredibly indebted to its score of influences, but the band carves out a more unique, singular sound here with the addition of a lot more strings and a lot more syrupy melancholy stuff. The opener is an absolutely fantastic track, with a heartbreaking melody and a full, lush sound. This drags quite a bit towards the end, with a couple tracks that really just don't go anywhere, but it's a really enjoyable experience as a whole.
3.0
The Go! Team - Semicircle (2018) >indie pop
This is a lot more decent than I thought it would be. The Go! Team's brand of hyperoptimism can easily be grating, and this is certainly a weaker version of something like Thunder, Lightning, Strike. It's still got a certain charm to it though, the melodies stick in your brain and the whole thing has a really effortless, contagious energy to it. Still, like I said, a weaker, more overproduced version of Thunder, Lightning, Strike, but hey, it's fun.
2.0+
Wyatt Price
>seen anything good? well sadly so far i've only dug into the most acclaimed movies of the year (oscar nominees, peep my RYM list), and out of all those my favorite was by far Call Me by Your Name.
>antibiotics and about 50 thousand probiotics and vitamins and supplements yuck
cool about yer mom though, that's hilariously convenient.
and i'm hype for the recordings!
Brody Fisher
>my favorite was by far Call Me by Your Name. I heard that was really good. The description didn't really grip me but now that I've read ur review I am definitely gonna have to check it out
sad that Killing of a Sacred Deer didn't get any nominations. Too weird to be an oscar contender though. Definitely my fav movie of last year.
Andrew Lopez
i liked menashe a lot probably just as much as call me by your name. did you check that one?
Julian Price
Okay shit I finally found this so here's a review.
[1/2]
Keak Da Sneak - Counting Other People’s Money (2003)
Why does every rapper from the Bay sound like a damn cartoon character? Keak has one of the most hilarious, unique flows I’ve heard, he bounces around this album in an eccentric mix of styles that all sound equally ridiculous. His voice is scratchy, stuttered and often staccato - he sounds like he can’t quite pronounce his lyrics fully and it’s the wildest thing. That being said, Keak doesn’t have the following I’d expect him to - he coined the term “hyphy” back in the 90s and the Bay people I know go absolutely nuts over anything unique, whether it’s enjoyable or not. I would almost go so far as to label this abstract hip-hop at times because it’s so weird but RYMers and Bay fans would probably both refuse the label.
Regardless, this is the epitome of Bay area hip-hop - it has funky production, a one-of-a-kind rapper, extensive crime show / police scanner samples (which tie this together so well) and an absurdly fun atmosphere. Songs like “Know What I’m Talking About”, “Copium” and “Set Up Shop” thrive off this style much more than I’d ever expect. They’re eccentric and goofy as hell but still so engaging. Most importantly, Keak’s wild ass rapping style is balanced with an equally puzzling production style, with a weird mesh of west coast g-funk, southern bounce and that tropical Neptunes / Timbaland approach. “Copium” has this lasery Tetris sample thrown into the beat that’s a bit off-putting but also /so/ damn funky, “What It Do” has these wild clanging percussion samples and “Freakalistic” has some sci-fi synths that wander around in the background of this reggae-ish hook.
Brody Edwards
yes
Sebastian Ross
[2/2]
Though this is incredibly unique, I can’t say that’s always a good thing. Keak on his own for 65 minutes is a bit much and even though there’s variety, there’s not enough to balance his crazy personality out. The album’s standout is “T-Shirt, Blue Jeans & Nikes” and it’s because E-40’s equally weird persona meshes brilliantly with Keak. I don’t think this album would be the same if it weren’t excessive though.
A damn fascinating piece of Bay area hip-hop but one that definitely deserves some trimming.
didn't check out sacred deer, really liked the lobster though.
i didn't, but it looks really good! thanks for the rec
Evan Rivera
>really liked the lobster though. Lobster was p good, Sacred Deer is a totally different feel though. A lot Darker, way less comedic than Lobster and Dogtooth. Probably one of the more fucked up movies I've seen this decade. The cinnamon topography is downright Kubrickian
