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.
You know I never really understood how the fuck these threads work. Like what do you do here guys

John Price
I got that but whenever I click on these threads I just see tripfriends making inside jokes and sharing charts with "+1", "+5" and stuff like that and I don't know how do these work
Jace Fisher
ok well here are a bunch of albums recommended to me by an old daily user called Terminus (he's dead now, really rude of you to bring it up). I'm going to listen to them all eventually, and maybe give them scores and write up reviews to share here as well.
having trips/names helps us track one another's tastes and history.
Blake Anderson
The term "drone" on this chart just means that it's a deeper look into another user's taste (or sometimes an artist's full discog). There are also tournaments, like the one posted here that Terminus won which led to the drone chart as his prize.
Henry Allen
Or just make a chart out of whatever the fuck albums You want to listen to next, then rate and write about them.
Josiah Carter
>he's dead now, really rude of you to bring it up But I didn't... Ok thanks, I'm slowly getting it I think. How do tournaments work?
Robert Scott
you go "hey im doing a tourney for __ number of folks" then everyone submits their albums, you pair them up then listen & rate, and the better of each pair wins, and those users submit a second album, etc etc. like in the lower left of , Baby Huey beat HANL because it's objectively better, so Rudi rec'd Jlin which lost to Max Roach, etc etc
Cooper Sanchez
Don’t want to jinx it now but this is the only thread left on Cred Forums that doesn’t use “soyboy”
John Harris
bad post, get lost
Bentley Davis
RIP Terminus you're dearly missed
Michael Murphy
too much music, not enough time...
Elijah Torres
seriously and yet im just rewatching the office anyway
Liam Carter
You know the drill lads. Post qt monstergirls, discuss qt monstergirls, write about qt monstergirls. Especially qt birb girls. No futa, no traps. If you're into that kind of thing, please make your own thread instead.
Samuel Anderson
better use of time desu

Go and make this an actual thread on /h/ or /d/ man i havent beat my meat in like 4 days
Grayson Edwards
I find this album to be a bit of an oddball in No Wave scene, as ironic as that statement may be. The music and very structured and catchy, especially with its basslines being tasty as fuck. Elephant is the best track.
Camden Smith
Double albums, triple albums, etc
Try to listen to the whole thing in one go at least once, or don't worry about that?
Is it different if it's a proper album vs a compilation?
William Watson
Jordan Peterson is actually hunter hunt hendrix
Leo Bell
i usually try and listen to the whole thing. depends on how long/good it is, but i'm down to let most things three discs long and below go as long as they need to. i do the same for comps if it's not a greatest hits type thing. it's the job of the people organizing the comp to keep me as engaged as if all the tracks were new material.
Xavier Jones
we listen to music a lot, post about music a little, and shitpost a lot
It's not complicated. Everything else is just daily metagame
also its really rude of you to bring up terminus like that
iirc Jangle had some hot takes on this
do whatever makes you happy tho
rip term

>Post qt monstergirls, discuss qt monstergirls, write about qt monstergirls. Especially qt birb girls slimegirls are best monstergirls
Jack Gutierrez
woke up feeling super grumpy for no reason
if it's super super long, I won't listen to it in one sitting, but it will usually be the only thing I listen to until I'm done with it.
Nolan White
also warm take: soundtracks, if released on their own outside of the context of what they were made for, should be taken out of the context of what they score. releasing a soundtrack on its own states that the music alone holds its own as a work outside of what it was commissioned for. while a soundtrack being fitting for a work is a good thing, and credit should be given to a composer who's scores fit the tone of the main work it's building on, this is to the credit of the main work and the composer, not to the soundtrack itself.
Robert Harris
Lots of songs about monstergirls here: Still working my way through this comp, it's 99 of the cheesiest hammiest songs I've ever heard. Also the "Nuggets" bit is a lie, these are definitely from the Sun Records or That Thing You Do eras, not the psych era.
Brody Allen
It really depends on the album. You could listen on a single sitting to 69 Love Songs or Kesto but they can be appreciated on single disc listening.
Cooper Morales
>releasing a soundtrack on its own states that the music alone holds its own as a work outside of what it was commissioned for I wish this were true, but I don't think this is always gonna be the case. Why would you want to remove context from a work of art anyway?
Typically one disc a day, but if its short enough, 3 hoursish, I'll just bust it out
Nolan Nelson
>I wish this were true, but I don't think this is always gonna be the case. yeah most soundtrack releases are cashgrabs sadly, which is a shame >Why would you want to remove context from a work of art anyway? i don't want it to be that way, but if you're listening to something that's a piece of something else on its own, and it was released on its own (with maybe only a title linking it to the work it was composed for), there's no reason not to only judge it on its own merits.
I want to try and get into some genres I haven't really listened to, so I'm going to do a tourney. The twist is, I want recs from a different genre of my choice for each round. Round 1 is rap, so gimme your best rap recs.
I think we're in agreement, could be just the semantics of "judging it on its own merits", but a soundtrack is always going to be dependent on another piece of art no matter how you look at it. It was created with that piece of art in mind. They complement each other. Yes, give credit to the music and the composer and don't speak to the merits of the film itself. That doesn't mean to pretend the film doesn't exist though.

Jaxon Williams
Thanks for the recs so far.
To be honest, the only rap albums I've listened to are MBDTF, Madvillainy, and the Marshal Mathers LP, so feel free to recommend anything essential or entry level as well.

I’m listening to a remaster of Casals playing Bach Cello Suites and it honestly sounds amazing. The remastered versions of the recordings are perfectly fine, especially compared to some of the Furtwangler tapes that sound like they were recorded on an avocado peel.

Can't find my wallet anywhere and just spilled hot coffee on my hand. Not the greatest day. Boutta listen to the new KKB EP. Hopefully that will lift my spirits.
Levi Cooper
this is exceptionally angry and violent. three cheers. it's different just on the basis of its intensity. i know mu has some huge revenge fans, so i won't rip it apart, but i'll say it can get boring after long listens if ur not in "the mood"
Gavin Russell
I haven't listened to this one so I don't know if it applies here, but it took me a while to figure out how to listen to grind and really appreciate the songwriting. That being said, there's plenty of grind and war metal with boring ass writing, so I'm not gonna guess which one this album falls under. Might give it a listen later today and follow up
Jackson Butler
it's riffless garbage

>Basa Basa - Homowo Good to hear this ghanaian gem got reissued this year, although not really surprising considering it has a following. These 8 tracks deliver a joyful fusion between traditional african music and club sounds, what at first is heavy focused on rhythm sections is boosted by the synths work, and let's not forget the flute and vocals that add life to the album. 8
>Grateful Dead - Anthem of the Sun Forget for a second about what these guys came to represent in a live setting and this might just be their finest output. I mean it's easy to recognize this as the start of the journey that was their career with the ever present jammings, the hunger for experimentation and a stronger dose of psychedelia had succesfully joined to the Dead. 8
this has been my life lately
would rec but I'm barely lurking these days and wouldn't want you to wait for me or smth
:c let us know if is good tho
John Baker
okay here we go
don't worry; you were too late to make it in anyways

Listen to it however you want. If you're really "serious" about it you'll probably have some opinion on it but who fucking cares

Ya don't say
Are you fucking kidding me this was my time to shine ugggghh

It was good! Glad to see KKB exploring new territories. I hope they continue to change

Grayson Perez
>Art Pop, Folktronica Glitch Pop
Zachary Cox
post-rock is a pretty quick turn off tag unless it's used with slowcore/chamber music, and even then it's iffy
warm take #2: electronic should not be a genre tagable on rym. calling kid a "electronic" is like calling visions of the country "guitar."
Christopher Carter
You're right but I love trying releases with just "electronic" on them anyway
The vagueness of it makes the music feel less categorized, and I've noticed it often shows up in releases that are harder to place genre-wise
I've started questioning whether this was actually fish bullying me or someone with who throws on his name
