Music Not Cool Enough For Indie Thread

Spoiler

but seriously listening to the new album now

 

This is a pretty great cover from a really cool artist:

 

Machine Gun Kelly. The absolute worst.

 

Gonna check this out but with the exception of a song or two off of Stadium they haven’t done anything worth a fuck since One Hot Minute and it’s sad.

 

It's funny. I hear fans of bands complaining when bands stray too far from the sounds of their "old stuff." You get (or got) a lot of that from Foo Fighter fans who want every album to be Monkey Wrench and Learn to Fly on repeat.

I happen to enjoy when bands try out new sounds and evolve the style a bit while always retaining enough of their own signature sound. It's just more interesting that way.

I'm a handful of songs into the new RHCP and it just sounds like cookie cutter Chili Peppers so far. Not bad, but nothing to get excited about.

Though so far, I do like the jazz influence on Aquatic Mouth Dance.

 

Was wondering if that was him, good lord that was brutal.

 

Take: No band has stayed true to their sound, while still exploring new territories, better than Deftones.

 

U2 is the only band I've heard sound almost completely different from one album to the next and it still work

 

I'd argue the same for Pink Floyd. There are ups and downs in the catalog, but really no total flops.

 

This seems like the thread to say nickelback wasn’t as bad now that imagine dragons replaced them as the obnoxious band

nickelback still sucks but imagine dragons is next level absolute garbage

 

Nothing to add now. Just posting up when the thought comes.

 

Really like Here ever after.

 

the new Chili peppers stuff is awful, like everything else they've done the last 20 years

 

By The Way was 2002 and it absolutely rips so I assume you meant 19 years

 

I don’t really understand the concept of this thread

what bands would this thread consist of? seems like it’d mostly be butt rock bands

 

it's not a serious thread, just a slightly cunty way of getting people to discuss a new rhcp album

 

I thought Dark Necessities was a good song but Kiedis lyrics make less and less sense as he gets older

 

that's the height of the awfulness iyam

By the Way, Can't Stop, Zepher, Dosed etc etc are terrible almost on the verge of being hacky at times

a real low point

 

Do not disrespect Layne Staley like this

 

This. Keep Laynes name out ya motherfuckin mouth.

Also, Layne WAS stoned. It was kind of his thing

 

I am a huge Frusciante fanboy, so I will not accept this slander. I really enjoy this new album. It’s not their best, but it is worthy of a listen.

 

Mother's Milk was the last Peppers album I enjoyed.

 

25 years ago the self titled Third Eye Blind album was released. It's still very good.

 

That album is extremely good

 

This is an elite coverup of your love for Machine Gun Kelly and his operatic covers of early 2000s Nu Metal.

 

Phife Dog's (A Tribe Called Quest) estate dropped an unreleased solo album recently

 

I’ll probably catch shit for this opinion but I’m prepared for the consequences of my post…

Alt J put on a very solid live show. This was my 3rd time seeing them and once again they sounded great. Visually it was super compelling and creative. Maybe I’m mellowing out a bit in my mid 30’s or maybe it’s because they’re noticeably heavier live than on their albums but either way they’re worth checking out.

 

Also Portugal the Man were hilariously fun too. Their set opened with a Metallica/Slayer/Pantera cover medley and included a custom Bevis & Butthead intro, In Bloom, Gimmie Shelter, & DayMan from It’s Always Sunny. Not at all what I was expecting.

 

It’s cool to hate Alt-J? Since when?

 

Always thought shaming people for the music they liked was very fucking stupid.
