- /mu/ is a 4chan board that is there to discuss music but ultimately turns into a complete mess in any thread. Today I'm taking a look at the albums that they deem to be "essential" and ranking them in a tier list!

There are a lot of fantastic records on this chart and it made it very difficult to rank! We got the obvious ones like In The Aeroplane Over The Sea by Neutral Milk Hotel, Merriweather Post Pavilion by Animal Collective and Loveless by My Bloody Valentine but theres also some albums in there that I've never heard before that shocked me like In The Court of The Crimson King by King Crimson and Soundtracks for the Blind by Swans.
Overall listening to all these albums rank them was an absolutely incredible experience. Please let me know how you guys would rank these albums because I'm very curious!

Bro ur channel is based, subscribed. Also thoughts on Spirit They’re Gone, Spirit They’ve Vanished?
@@JohnnyDeppSmashedOnCocaine Thanks dude! I unfortunately haven't given it the time that it deserves but after like 3-4 listens, I really really like it
@@KyleReidMu Same it’s my fav album ever also I love ur videos.
Hey have you heard the first album from Black Country, New Road? They have a huge influence from Slint, its called 'For the first time'. Its really good
I could smoke them litttle arms.
I can't believe you gave MBDTF a 6
Fantano!
Should be a 2
being generous
I give it a 3
literally the definition of “no bro you don’t get it, it’s supposed to sound like shit”
Lmao. Trout mask replica in a nutshell
yeah like im a noise fan, i love trout mask and anything that hurts to listen to. melody pisses me off sometimes lmao
Me trying to convince my friends to listen to some banger black metal albums
@@chickenbutt420 cringe
@@user-xu4xw6jm7d cope
I listened to all of Trout Mask Replica while working a particularly hectic sandwich shift at Wendy's. It was the closest thing to having a stroke without actually having one.
LMAO that sounds like a fever dream
Pet Sounds works MUCH better when you know the context, since it’s basically an album about depression. Brian Wilson recommended that you listen to it in a dark room with headphones
Woah interesting. Yup that is not how I was listening to it at all and I definitely didn't get that vibe from it haha
I wouldn't say it's about depression as much as it's an album about adolescence, touching on themes of the excitement of young love and infatuation, the inevitable heartbreak and loneliness attached to it, and the longing to find one's place of belonging in this world.
Plus the fact that he was going head to head with the Beatles and (almost) winning. They put out Revolver, he put out Pet Sounds. They put out Sgt Pepper, he puts out Good Vibrations. Then he tries to make album of songs as good as 'Good Vibrations', and he has a drug induced mental breakdown. John and Paul then take the severed head of The Beach Boys and put it over the mantlepiece. Next to Gerry and the Pacemakers, the Rolling Stones, The Byrds, and all the other bands that had dared to compete with them.
@@marktaylor6491 You could say he had the last laugh though. Even if Brian couldn’t finish the album he still made great music with the band long after the Beatles broke up and well into the 70s. They deserved to be remembered as one of the greatest experimental pop groups and more than a just another act who tried to compete with the Beatles. Reaching greater heights although much less consistently
@@KyleReidMu Also, try Smile Sessions, thats probably their real Sgt Pepper
I feel like I've listened to enough shoegaze to pretty confidently say that no album before or since Loveless truly sounds similar. It's practically its very own subgenre of shoegaze.
Correct
yknow how for japenese music the vocals become an instrument itself thats what I get from loveless where there really is just the music and what qualities you derive from it thats why I love the dreamy vocals on it so much. its like souvlaki is shoegaze but loveless is instrumental shoegaze.
Yea I have MBV in their own separate playlist
if Medicine had leaned more into the “pure noise” aspect of their music instead of jumping around to experiment with electronica and R&B, and breaking up and reforming multiple times, i like to think they probably could have come close to replicating Loveless. other bands like All Natural Lemon & Lime Flavors and Fleeting Joys also approach the pure hallucinatory qualities of MBV but were never quite punishing enough to reach Shields’ level. i’d have to say i agree though. it’s sad no one else has unlocked the mystery but speaks so much to the quality of the work, even the band themselves couldn’t quite bottle the same lightning a second time.
Yellow loveless and blue loveless
suprised you didn't talk about deathconsciousness here, I thought that was a /mu/ staple. Personally I FUCKING ADORE it, but looking back i feel like it was best in its first listen. Some tracks in the middle i feel like i could skip because they weren't worth re-experiencing to me. But all in all it's a gorgeous album (Especially with songs like HFS:40,00, Bloodhail, Earthmover and some others).
Dude ya Deathcon in an amazing album. I think I saw it on another /mu/ essentials chart but it sadly wasn't on the one that I used. If I do part 2 to this video, it'll definitely be talked about in that one
@@KyleReidMu yeah do a part 2, and if possible for a part 3?
I mean it has many good songs, a few great ones-and Earthmover. That's basically its problem.
I disagree. The middle songs that you refer to like telephony or black metal records in the mail eventually clicked for me on relistens of the album and now I can't stop listening to them. The only songs that haven't clicked for me yet are the future and maybe there is no food
@@cl8804 are you disrespecting earthmover??? wtf??
if you liked the 'movie' aspect of In the court of the Crimson King, i simply must recommend De-loused in the Comatorium by The Mars Volta. an absolutely insane trip based on a friend of the band slipping into a coma-they paid tribute to them by creating an unfathomably deep but absolutely bangin concept album. loved the video btw!!!!
I've never listened to The Mars Volta but I've always heard the name get thrown around. Will definitely have to check it out. Thanks for the rec! I'm glad you enjoyed the video :)
@@KyleReidMu fuck De-loused, do mdma and listen to Frances.
the song in the court of the crimson kind or literally feels like ur watching the scene of dune 2021 of like the desert itself and the giant worms there swallowing the ship. you feel so small and insignifigant
wow kyle, love that you're breaking new ground as the first white guy to review music. subscribed. incredible.
Saying that Kanye ruins the last 3 minutes of Runaway is a HUGE red flag, lmao
Lmao dude it's so hard for me to get through
i mean it's just bad
Cool video idea. Loved the inclusion of Soundtracks for the Blind. It's probably the only album that has genuinely creeped me out, but I can't help loving the awesome ideas scattered throughout it. It's a gem, and I recommend it to anyone looking for a truly unique experience.
I'm glad you liked the idea Diego! Ya dude SFTB was so eerie. One of the most unique albums I've listened to and it hasn't even fully clicked with me yet
Only time I tried to listen to that was when I was incredibly depressed after dropping out of school in 2019 and I noped out after about 15 minutes cause I just couldn't handle it though I understood why people like it so much. As of now I don't really have any desire to listen to it again tbh but that might change eventually.
@@lola210 yup, this makes sense
Ending of runaway is the best part
Idk I just don't vibe with it
True
If u liked Loveless I'd suggest Souvlaki by Slowdive, and for King Crimson, check out Larks' Tongues in Aspic!
Souvlaki has been on my list of albums to check out for a while now. Definitely need to check that out along with Larks Tongues
larks tongues in aspic is INCREDIBLE
@@KyleReidMu also heaven or Las Vegas. Maybe more dream pop than shoegaze but they’re still similar in terms of the atmosphere they create
@@tucker8904 I love that album!! Really catchy melodies on there
Heaven or Las Vegas is more chill, love the album, also, if u want something more depressing in the "shoegazey" realm, try deathconsciousness, cry, then thank me lol
an album similar to spiderland for me in terms of atmosphere and sound is laughing stock by talk talk. it came out the same year as spiderland and has a lot of similar sounds and emotions albeit with a less distorted and more jazzy sound. definitely recommend it
Ooo sounds interesting! Will definitely check that out
@@KyleReidMu Yo kyle you heard the album yet
@@mylegssting4350 Not yet! I have it added to my playlist of albums I need to listen to though
my all time favourite album
@@KyleReidMu also check out leaves turn inside you by unwound
So close to getting you to talk about The Glow, Pt.2. So close.
One day..
It's funny hearing you describe Pet Sounds as Beach Boys' Sgt Peppers.
Literally the Beatles wrote Sgt Peppers as a response to Pet Sounds. McCartney was like, "Oh snap, the game just got upped. We need to dig deep to keep up with these Beach Boys".
Sgt Peppers came out the year after Pet Sounds.
That makes sense! Thanks for sharing :)
King Crimson has such a vivid discography, I really hope you’re able to get into them. In the Wake of Poseidon is very similar to Court in its format. I will say, 80s Crimson while on a totally different vibe, blew me away.
Awesome! I'll definitely end up diving into their discography at some point. They seem like a very talented and influential band
Honestly the only king crimson album that I dont consider good is the power to believe, aside from the title tracks theres not much going for it. Other than that their discog is great
The Sound off Soundtracks for the Blind is the single most moving piece of music I’ve ever heard in my entire life. It brought me to tears the first time I listened to it. Next time you listen to Soundtracks I think you should keep in mine what the concept is behind the album, it makes it a little bit easier to get through. Michael Gira wanted to make an album similar to Brian Eno’s Film Music, which is essentially an album for a movie that doesn’t exist. When you listen to Soundtracks you’re supposed to create the imagery yourself. When I listen to it I usually try to imagine myself traveling through some sort of wormhole with the dark ambient tracks being the foggy wormhole and the more cohesive songs being clear vivid set pieces or stories that the wormhole takes me to. Then you get sucked right back up into the darkness. It’s truly an album that exudes the most extreme positive and negative feelings. I also recommend you check out Swans Are Dead. It’s a live album that accompanies Soundtracks. The live version of Blood Promise is just as beautifully transcendent as The Sound and Helpless Child.
Did you just give MBDTF a light 6?
Lmao yup
i don’t know if it’s a good thing or bad thing that a lot of my favorite music is apart of this list
some may say its a bad thing because of the website it comes from (4chan) but these albums make the list for a reason. that reason being bc theyre
legitimately memorable and amazing records.
Ya I agree with Wilo. There's a reason that most of my favorites are talked about in this video. They are genuinely great albums
Spiderland heavily influenced a lot of other Louisville bands so I'd suggest maybe checking out some bands like Rodan, Shipping News, and June of 44. But ultimately these are just influenced by them, so i guess Spiderland remains a unique achievement.
I'll definitely check some of those bands out. Thanks for the rec!
@@KyleReidMu A lot of people have called bcnr the new slint so there's that too
@@KyleReidMu rodan is so good
F# A# is god tier music, probably the best Godspeed album.
Also your jokes in the captions of photos in this video were great
Thanks Kate! F# A# is incredible
Pet Sounds is my favorite album ever - I’d suggest listening to the stereo version when you can. The appeal behind it (for me at least) is the gorgeous harmony, the super detailed instrumentation, and the Mood. Stereo makes that clearer for me. The more you listen, the better it gets as you notice all the intricacies. Totally understandable if it’s not fully your jam though tbh; seems like it bores a lot of people
I listened to both versions before making this video but I agree, the stereo version feels more full in sound. I liked it but it just doesn't seem like something I can see myself jamming to often
@@KyleReidMu 'God Only Knows' is one of the best songs ever recorded imo.
@@pizzatime2001 Paul McCartney's favourite song too !
@@ytcorporate9237 I can definitely see why. Pet Sounds was a big influence on Sgt Pepper.
This is the fourth time today has talked about spiderland unrelated to what is going on in my day. I saw it on Twitter a friend recommended it, saw it mentioned on Reddit and now you just talked about it. I should probably put it on a future listen playlist
Dude PLEASE listen to it! Not sure what you're into normally but it's definitely worth checking out
@@KyleReidMu I’m kind of all over the place. I was actually playing on listening to The Who for the first time today, but I’ll make sure to leave some time to listen to the Spiderland album.
@@normalguy4548 Please let me know what you think of it when you check it out. I think it can take a little time to get into so I'm curious to know how your first listen goes
@@KyleReidMu currently 30 minutes into the album and I’m enjoying it. In terms of difficulty to listen and understand, it’s a very easy album to listen to and enjoy. I’ve never had the difficulty of being unable of getting into a great album. Definitely one of the best albums I’ve heard. I don’t listen to Post Rock at all really, I can probably count the amount of post rock albums I’ve listened to on my hand (including this album) never had the will to listen to post rock b/c the name of the genre sounds weird (what could post rock possibly mean?) But I’ll definitely check out more post rock albums b/c of you. Thanks.
I'm glad you're enjoying the album Sidney! Definitely check out Black Country, New Road if you haven't. They're a newer post rock band from the UK that takes a lot of influence from Slint (at least on their first album, I think the second album stirs away from that but it's still REALLY good)
My beautiful dark twisted fantasy is like my favourite album of all time and hearing you rip on it made me wanna scream.
Anyway great video will probably check the rest out too
Haha I'm sorry! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Definitely check out these other albums!
@@KyleReidMu i will! Im always down to check new music, it might be cool to check out kanyes other stuff as his discography is quite varied, espicially album to album
PLEASE listen to weatherday if you havent. their Come In album consumed my life for a time and still is. the opening track made me headbang harder than anything else Ive heard on first listen
Come In is a fantastic album!
Come in such a beautiful album! Nothing hits as hard as those cuckoo clock sounding noises on water dreamer the same, it's so fucking addictive
Hey mang I’d love to hear what you’d have to say about anything and everything King Gizzard has to offer!!
I actually surprisingly haven't listened to any of their stuff yet. I'll eventually dive into them and make a video about it though
@@KyleReidMu Can’t wait man! Have a great day!!! 🙏
These are very influential albums for most bands.
Especially Loveless.
A whole genre was made from that album.
Also, am scared of 4chan too.
Ps. AnCo is rad.
"if I refer to it as m-u instead of myu, m-maybe they'll believe me that I dont browse 4chan."
we're on to you
😳
Love your style of talking about this stuff, I bet you're gonna get way bigger, keep up the good work.
Thanks Sebastian! I appreciate that :)
I am Happy to see the Slint Cover :) Right before I heard Spiderland again since a long time! And now I See this Video... perfect Timing and great Album:)
Spiderland is incredible. I'm glad the timing of this video lines up perfectly for you haha!
For a long time that was my favorite album of all time.
It is definitely a really good Album. But its one of this albums that you must listen in a special mood. Especially the last song hits the feelings..
@@jonathankruse9275 Yes, the fact that some teenagers did that album still amazes me to this day.
it's hard to encapsulate all of King Crimson with one album lmao
Ya I need to check out more of their stuff
Have fun with the King Crimson discog, they've got some fun ass albums. Highly recommend 'Red'
For me, loveless isn't great for background music because it automatically grabs all you attentions and distracts from other works I do so, anything else but loveless...
BTW did you try any of Bright Eyes album? Please let me know how was it...
lol yup that's exactly why it didn't work for me. I haven't tried any Bright Eyes yet, I need to though!
Yooo I'm so happy you made a video on this!
I'm happy that you're happy!
This twelve year old has a great future on TH-cam. Great video.
Lmao thanks!
8:45 I hope you end up diving into more of the prog scene sometime soon :)
If u want I can give u a couple of my favs
Yes please do!
Maximillian Colby's full discography (it's all compiled as part of an anthology and is in circulation as of this comment's typing since it's so short) is a good place to start when it comes to Slint-like bands
Others i'd recommend would really have to run the gamut of:
Hurl (A Place Called Today)
Engine Kid (Angel Wings)
Boys Life (Departures & Landfalls)
Kerosene 454 -- for this i recommend their subsequent albums and especially their last two
Hoover (Lurid Traversal of Route 7)
Hope i've done you a service with a few of these!
This is awesome! Thank you so much!
>filtered by MBDTF
the state
King Crimson is so good. I hope you check out their other albums. Highly recommend Larks, Red, and Discipline. But honestly, listen to them all damn it!! Super worth it.
I'd say if Crash Thompson (I like his channel by the way) made a htgi king crimson, those four albums would be the must listens
The pacing of Remain in Light is fantastic. Starts with its most upbeat and careless track with intense energy, then with each successive track it gets just a bit more sinister to the point where the second half of the album is full of these depressive and thought provoking slow-burners. The Overload is IMMENSE, and I love how it closes off the album on a really dour note that you didn't even realize the first few tracks were lyrically setting up, and I love how they kind of nailed the Joy Division sound without ever hearing a Joy Division song.
That mountain background you had. I'm pretty sure I've actually been there. It's in Flän, Norway. There's an old Hotel that overlooks it.
I forgot where it's from because I downloaded it a while ago but I'm 99% sure Norway is correct! That's awesome that you've been there
the most blasphemous take in this video is that the last 3 minutes of runaway ruin the song. that is exactly what elevates it to MASTERPIECE material imo
great video!! really entertaining :P the jsr music in the bg really adds to the experience, 10/10~
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it. The jsr music is a staple on this channel :)
If you want more stuff like Spiderland, Black Country, New Road is a good place to start. Especially their latest album Ants From Up There. Maybe listen to Xiu Xiu cover the Twin Peaks soundtrack too.
Love me some Black Country, New Road! For The First Time was my favorite album from last year! I gotta listen to more Xiu Xiu for sure
Very cool video. Slint is one of my favorite bands of all time and each member was involved with some pretty unique stuff outside of the Slint project. Dave Pajo has great solo work on Live From a Shark Cage and Whatever Mortal, and Brian helmed another similar project called The For Carnation, both worth checking out. For a peer into the more avant- side of music coming out around that time, US Maple, MX-80, and Storm & Stress are also very important and fun listens.
That’s awesome! I didn’t know the members of slint were involved in other projects so thanks for letting me know that. I’m glad you liked the video and thank you for the recs :)
In the court of the crimson King is a great album to start with King Crimson. You should definately check out their 70s and 80s albums. Also since you mentioned the album sounding like a soundtrack for a movie, the movie children of men uses the title track for a great scene.
I haven't checked out their other stuff yet but I'm really excited to! I'll have to check out that movie, what is it about?
@@KyleReidMu King Crimson changed their sound every decade, so there's a lot of variations.
As for the movie, I dont want to spoil anything, but the main story is that in the near future women suddenly cant get children anymore because of some sort of disease.
It's worth to watch for the uninterrupted long shots alone, also there is a pink floyd reference in there.
Have never seen any of your content before but I loved this, an absolute masterpiece of a video and your opinions and commentary are really interesting. And if you want another album like Spiderland the closest thing I’ve ever heard is “For the first time” from Black Country, New Road (though the band’s second album which is albeit a lot different but is genuinely one of the best albums I’ve ever heard).
Aww thanks Elliot! I really appreciate that. For The First Time was my favorite album from last year :)
@@KyleReidMu oh no way mine too! My other favorite from that year was Twin Plagued by Wednesday (which I would also highly recommend). Excited to see what content you come up with next!
The Money Store/Exmilitary are definitely two essential albums
Considering what you’ve said about Antennas to Heaven I strongly suggest you to listen to Slow Riot for New Zero Canada. It’s short, sweet and gets straight to a point. Much easier entry to gy!be discography imo
Sweet! Thank you
I love Trout Mask Replica but it took a lot of listens to get into it. I'd recommend listening to Shiny Beast, Ice Cream for Crow or Doc at the Radar Station by Captain Beefheart first. They're more accessible albums so helps you to ease into what they're going for.
Sounds good! I'll have to check out those projects along with listening to TMR more
Safe as milk is a good starting point aswell
Jet Set Radio and Jet Set Radio Future music in the background mmm. Jet Set Radio Future is in my top 5 favourite games of all time probably I love it, also love the original
Those soundtracks are incredible!
@@KyleReidMu Honestly the Jet Set Radio soundtracks are like the only video game soundtracks I actually listen to outside the context of playing the games themselves and this is coming from someone who loves gaming.
not only that the game’s themselves are incredible and I don’t think I have decided on one game I decided that is my all time favourite but Jet Set Radio Future is definitely in my top 5 favourite games of all time if I made a top 5 list
I recognise that greenscreen. See you soon
This sounds so ominous haha should I be scared?
Here’s a few records to check out if you like Spiderland:
Moss Icon - Lyburnum Wits End Liberation Fly (or discography collection)
Shellac - At Action Park
1000 Hurts
Rodan - Rusty
June of 44 - Four Great Points (LP)
Anatomy of Sharks (EP)
Codeine - The White Birch
Tortoise - Millions Now Living Will Never Die
Mogwai - Come On Die Young
Unwound - Leaves Turn Inside You
Big Ups - Before a Million Universes
Awesome! Thank you so much for the recs
Another good album similar to Slint is Ben Hur by Bitch Magnet
An album that keeps getting better for me is Patrick Wolf's album: The Wind In The Wires.
It's kind of a concept album: after the media circus of his first album he took off to a seaside shack and wrote and recorded his second album in isolation, and it's just a really fantastic album.
subscribed, 20k channel thats straight to the point. can you do a /tv/ vid too? i'd enjoy one for found footage general
Thanks! Unfortunately I only talk about music on this channel
I don't think Trout Mask Replica was meant to sound "exactly" the way it does. A very common thing that's brought up is that there are like 3 or four different riffs going on at the beginning of Frownland which are all in different time signatures, and these were just diddies that Beefheart shat out and told John French to fit together exactly the way he did it, in what I can only describe as a mixture of ignorance and stubbornness. He was explicitly physically abusive towards the band during the recording of this album in order to assert his dominance. Truthfully I don't understand why they even put up with him and stayed with the band, and the fact that the album was ever even finished at all is a miracle in itself, let alone the fact that the band continued for decades.
It's been a while since I've actually listened to the album because its two fucking hours and it's a demanding and draining album to listen all the way through, but it's an album that requires you to appreciate the absurd, as it is absurdist in nature, but I don't know if we'll ever truly know whether or not Beefheart intended for it to be absurdist or if he genuinely wanted to release a psychedelic blues record. It's truly an enigma that few have come close to replicating.
I really enjoy the court of the crimson king, it’s a really good album. Ironically I’m not a a huge fan of I talk to the wind, but probably one of my favorites on the album is moonchild. It’s so atmospheric I love it. The lyrics intro is great and always makes me imagine the lyrics. The rest of the song is also really cool, I just really enjoy the song.
Moonchild was probably my least favorite but that's not saying much because I love the whole album haha. I find that track super interesting though
Runaway outro is goated idc
American Footballs debut is incredible, one of my all time favorites, cool to see you enjoyed it. Also I agreed with your take on my beautiful dark twisted fantasy. Loved the video, a few records I really like were talked about.
Thanks John! Glad you liked the video. Lots of really great records were talked about in this video :)
A very obvious one that sounds like, spiderland is black country, new roads debut for the first time they even joke about being a Slint tribute act in science fair I think.
I love BCNR! Their debut was my favorite album of last year!
Woah your yearly Spiderland relisten is on my birthday so cool
I'd hugely recommend listening to Red by King Crimson, many fans argue its better than Court of the Crimson King, but I think both have their strengths and weaknesses. But Starless is probably a top 100 or 10 song of all time.
MBDTF...repetitive?? What?? Dude...what??
What??
Yaaaa I know.. I'm sorry :(
No Glow Part 2? :( Could have sworn that was on the essential charts.
I think I saw it on one of the lists that was out there but sadly it's not on the one that I picked
I always put Red over ITCOTCK because Starless exists
Interesting.. looks like that’ll be my next king crimson album!
Good video. You should make a part 2 in the future
Thank you Sean! I want to dive deeper into the essential chart in the future
I watched the whole video after that perfect first four seconds.
Also, I've been listening to ITCotCK for ten years now and I'm still not bored of it.
Haha that's awesome! The album truly does sound incredible
@@KyleReidMu If I, a retired /mu/tant can give you any advice on Trout Mask Replica, I suggest approaching it for fun. Many people fixate on its complexity, which is rewarding, but the spirit of TMR is silly hippie fun times :)
3:47 valid but outrageous opinion
Lol
Lift your skinny fists like antennas to heaven is my favorite album of all time. Listening to it after a long time kinda recharges my energy and gives me will to live. I wish I was friends with someone who enjoyed that kind of music
Hate that MBDTF take a lot.
Me: casually listens to Soundtracks for the Blind as background music
Def check out Black Country, New Road or Black Midi for that Spiderland sound
I love BCNR!
this would make a good series :)
I agree! Could even expand it past the /mu/ essentials. I've been wanting to do a video about the albums Fantano called "not good" and I think this might be a good format for it :)
@@KyleReidMu definitely ! i’d watch all of it, i can guarantee you that much
Very exciting for an old guy like me who actually grew up with most of these old albums that you're reviewing quite favorably
Theres a severe lack of Ween here.
imo LSD and the Search for God is pretty similar to Loveless, also pretty shoegaze-ey. I really love that EP/artist. Check it out if you're interested :)
I've heard of that. The name has always stuck out to me. Definitely gonna need to check that out soon
Frownland is nearly impossible to play on drums live if you're actually good at drums.
Although I’ve heard some albums with Spiderland similarities, I’ve yet to hear one that’s scratches the same musical itch. Perfect balance of post hardcore/ post rock that I never knew I needed.
Leaves Turn Inside You is on the same wavelength imo
the song in the court of the crimson kind or literally feels like ur watching the scene of dune 2021 of like the desert itself and the giant worms there swallowing the ship. you feel so small and insignifigant
Hahaha yes dude totally
If you liked the best the experimental songwriting in "The Velvet Underground and Nico", listen to their second album "White Light/White Heat", that shit literally invented Noise Rock.
Also, Soundtracks for the Blind is the best album of all time and each time you listen to it you gonna see that.
Oh I think I listened to that a few years ago when I first listened to TVU+N. Definitely gonna need to give it another listen though because I'll probably enjoy it a lot more now.
I can definitely see myself enjoying Soundtracks for the Blind more and more with each listen. I just have no idea when I'll be ready to go back to it haha
Soundtracks for the Blind sounds haunted and cursed
Dude fr fr
ypur tier list in this video is my whole ranking system lately, I need to take a break lol
Great video, I really enjoyed it!
Thanks! I'm glad :)
Pro tips:
"Perfect from now on"
"The Lonesome Crowded West"
"Red" (King Crimson)
"Souvlaki"
"Wish You Were Here"
"To Be Kind" & "The Glowing Man"
Also, for a bonus, try the track "Ascending Forth" by Black Midi.
“Kanye ruins the last 3 minutes of this song…”
damn man you really don’t get it. I wish you would someday
and you callled American football background music?
Jesus man find God
Lmao do kanye fans really think he is some kind of genius and is misunderstood? that shit is hilarious
Lol idk man maybe it'll click someday. I do like his first 3 albums a lot though so maybe it'll happen
@@taxcilvaxax2929 you can acknowledge his many flaws and still see his tacit musical genius
And the first 3 are swell but it’s his run from 808s to Pablo that I think cemented him as a visionary, and which have widely influenced the development of many genres in the late 10s and early 20s
If you're looking for something like Venus In Furs you should check out All That Is My Own by Nico, Desertshore is an amazing album
Awesome, thanks for the rec!
If you like Spiderland try Faraquet-The View From This Tower or L.Ron by Barkmarket. Thanks for the recommendations.
Thank YOU for the recommendation!
Faraquet is not talked about enough for how amazing that album is
Soundtracks for the Blind is probably my favorite album of all time. I can never listen to it all in one sitting though, I usually listen to disc 1 and disc 2 as if they're seperate albums.
You definetely need to do more videos on other mucore albums, there are other great ones youre missing out on like Deathconciousness, Souvlaki, Songs for the Deaf and many more
Oh wow I didn't realize that Songs for the Deaf was apart of mucore. I definitely want to make a part 2 to this in the future!
@@KyleReidMu Yess a part 2 would be amazing
Spiderland isn’t my favorite album of all time but I recognize it as the best album ever made
Good take and good name, Kyle
@@KyleReidMu you as well, Kyle. Keep up the content, I’m loving your videos 👍
@@Kyle_etc Thanks Kyle!!
when remain in light was made, there was this thing called vinyl, and it has two sides, so often albums would be split into two different vibes around the middle, so you could play each side depending on your mood
What's even more interesting is that vinyl still exists! Haha but ya I guess that makes sense as to why there's a sudden mood shift
that doesn't change that the latter half is a drag to listen to
@@cl8804 i enjoy almost as much as the a side, when i am in the mood to listen to it.
@@juliussw9153 i'm happy for you
Holy fuck did you have to be that patronising? Fuck you
Really cool video, in terms of Soundtracks for the Blind, it’s much better with the context that it was supposed to be the band’s final album and was supposed to be a combination of all their different sounds and eras they had gone through. While a lot of people start off with SFTB, myself included, I think it’s not really the best starting place and that a better one would be either White Light From the Mouth of Infinity or The Great Annihilator, both wonderful albums, that I’d highly recommend
I started from filth and onwards and I can definitely say that is the best way to listen to soundtracks
@@chungo2548 The Swans album that I first listened to in its entirety was The Seer and man it was fucking cool
I know hella great records that are in that spiderland lane, most post rock n post hardcore from the 90s will give you moments of this sound. But for good recommendations, I'd say check out
-june of 44- first 2 records
-shipping news- very soon and in pleasent company
- hood - rustic houses
- bark psychosis
- u.s. maple - talker
And
- sprain - as lost through collision
I would say rusty by Rodan as well
@@windthroughthesilos2495 knew I was missing one! Got a first pressing of it, what an amazing record
Yes yes yes THANK YOU!
Listening to As Lost Through Collision rn, thanks for the recommendations!
@@Hooded_Bongo I'm gonna be releasing my interview with Alex (their vocalist n guitarist), makin a video on em rn :)
Not sure if it’s really /mu/ core but I highly recommend Coil - The Ape Of Naples. Don’t see it talked about nearly as much as it deserves to be and it’s a crazy listen
Awesome! Thanks for the rec
As you said that if anyone knows another band like Slint, I strongly recommend listening to Aerial M - Aerial M, which is a project of David Pajo from Slint. You probably know them but just in case.
I don't know them. Thank you for the suggestion!
I really liked your video and you should do a video on person pitch, love that album
I'm glad you liked the video. Person pitch is awesome! I'll keep that idea in mind :)
just listen to all the albums pierro scaruffi has given an 8/10 or above, /mu/-core is pretty much just a watered down blend of pitchfork and scaruffis musical taste anyway. also i didn't actually watch your video because i generally can't stand hearing other peoples opinions on things but im sure its very good
Never listen to music again
An album that kinda reminds me of spiderland is Rusty by Rodan. It isn’t 1 on 1 and Rusty has a more distorted sound but I highly recommend if you’re a fan of spiderland!
