Not the guy who replied to you, but I had an experience with the Pixies where I could not get into them at all initially and only started to appreciate them when I'd stopped largely exploring and listened to them more casually. I feel their fanbase does disfavour by hyping them up as something inventive and as you say inflammatory when in reality they feel hilariously average by alt-rock standards - but I guess that's the thing of inpsiring so many artists that would take from what they did.

I will say though the production in my view does disservice, none of the instruments have any punch to them and Frank's vocals are the only thing that's really 'loud'. That being said when you come back to them they're fun albums to just switch off to and are catchy when you aren't looking for some deeper meaning to them or whatever.

I suppose it has to be said that they are washed up and their live shows are boring as shit.

Yeah, but Nas ruined it for me. The song sounds too much like a single in context with the album. Heard it played forcibly on radio so much I'm numb to its effects.

>>123644132
I guess the hype sort of did kill the experience, if there was one. I'll take ur advice and give them another go. I wasn't expecting to have my mind blown and go into hyperspace or for them to be my new favorite band. I'm just trying to listen to more music, different sounds, different bands, see what they're about, gave surfer rosa a go and it sort of fell flat.

Anyone in /prod/ a part of the Maschine/Maschine+ 3.0 Beta? What did they add/change? Do we finally get tempo and/or time signature changes in some form? Can we color code lock-states? Does the sampler get Round Robin or better time-stretching? Or did they just add the lowest-hanging fruit & make the piano roll audible so that you can hear the notes you're selecting/entering? What about additional instruments?

The only two rock guitarists that got away with fast playing and showing off. All the others like Vai, Satriani, Yngwie are always criticised for "masturbatory" solos and overindulgence.

How come when she accused Jimmy Page of sleeping with her when she was 14, everyone got all like “#BelieveAllWomen” and wanted to cancel Page, but when she accused David Bowie of sleeping with her when she was 12, her story came under scrutiny and people decided “Bowie’s tour dates don’t align” or whatever?

There's always a chorus singing how you can find better post-rock or better math rock or better slowcore than Spiderland, but I think Slint does a really good job with atmosphere on that album. I dropped a bunch of names and links here a few weeks ago that got called slintcore, so I'll mostly be copying those; the OP then wanted "heroin-slow tempos and sultry noir chords" and "jazzy slowcore" akin to some tracks from Codeine and the Dismemberment Plan (>>123383773). (Nothing I posted really did it for him, so hopefully this is a better match.)

Enablers: very atmospheric, spoken word over post-rock.

End Note and Output Negative Space have been big favourites of mine for a while, and everything else I've listened to from them has been similarly good; seriously impressive discography. They're quintessential lonesome dark night music.

There's also the defunct Montreal band Sofa which plays something a bit similar, though their discography isn't nearly as large or as consistent.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3rL2ukntJ1E
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3s6LNhw2nrI
They got a compilation release titled Source Crossfire from Constellation Records recently, which is mostly their album Grey plus a mix of about half their other two full-lengths. Town Unsafe and Record are their two earlier full-lengths, though there's another with a red cover (I think it's on YouTube) that I didn't like very much.

If you're willing to tolerate more jank and even less consistency than Sofa, then check out Smallmouth. Another Lower Canada band from Sofa's era, but playing something more like math rock and more often instrumental.

Grenadilla Splinters by Exhaust. Haven't given a good listen to the rest of their discography, but this album is sinister and slow.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0uoSNaAX00M

A sinister and bitter slowcore band (one of the few, I think) is Picastro. Red Your Blues and Metal Cares are great for this, though I sorta dislike their other full-lengths.

Monopot is terrific for the coming fall. Another slowcore/post-rock band that does something darker more than it is depressing. Something Is Like Nothing Was is terrific; Optipess and Taran aren't as dark, but have some very good lows.

The For Carnation, the band Brian McMahan formed after Slint.

S/T is a fantastic album, and Britt plays drums on one track.

>>123643850
>>123643869
Of these, my biggest rec would be Enablers since they do such a good job with atmosphere.

Spiderland was really influential in general, but you could find a lot of albums that all took that inspiration differently, so figure out whether it's the slowcore, post-rock, vocals, whatever, that you like about it and go from there.

>>123643882
The For Carnation is great, though I personally prefer Fight Songs. Was about to mention them before I saw this reply.

>>123633651
Lowercase is another good rec. I think the Going Away Present hits the feel best.

>>123643850
>>123643882
>>123643939
Thanks for the effort posts.
I especially echo Enablers (there's great songs on almost every album I've heard) and The For Carnation.

I would only add that even though the sample is tiny, I can't believe how good this melding of Spiderland and old delta blues is by this old Eric Chenaux band.

I refuse to believe that All Around The World is a serious song, and not some kind of prank. With the reprise added it's 11 minutes 29 seconds long. What happens? A few verse-choruses, a key change at 3:36 (yes you thought the song was rapping up by then) including the most ugly NA NA NA NA NA section known to man, chorus, ANOTHER key change ear-bleeder, more choruses, a fuzzy mess of guitar solo overdubs, a couple more lalalalala nananana sections, outro and then (including reprise) a trumpet section. By the end your ears are in pain, or you skipped it because it's so damn long. How on earth did they green-light this song in the studio? They actually thought that 11.5 minutes of this was listenable, let alone musically good. Somehow the most loud, over-produced, and yet down-right boring songs of all time. That's not to mention that it's clearly a tacky Beatle's rip-off song, the gimmick so strong you can smell it through the speaker. And, no, it's not even successful in creating a hypnotic soundscape to bathe in. Absolutely not.

But it's not a coincidence. This is what happens when your band, in this case Oasis, runs out of its already very limited and cliche artistic vision. When you can't make anything other than the same formulaic guitar-pop sensory overload, its no wonder you'll end up with the final song of their most hyped album being a parody of the creative direction they had used an abused (as well as the coke, which surely played a big part in this mess of a song as well.)
