Before I began coming on /mu/ I really enjoyed it. Now I'm incapable of seeing it as anything but a joke. Good job, guys. :D

wait...am I being trolled right now?

>>5940005
yesh

>>5939999
I still enjoy it. I really don't take posters on /mu/ to seriously.

>>5940029
Well you should. /mu/ is serious business.

I don't come to /mu/ often. What's the deal with the band?

>>5940067
They're the Beatles of the 90's.

never seen that record, must be 21st century crap rehashing so many years of existence, it is sad that at 1996 all genres were invented. and then little asspie kids decided to make up genres on the internets.

lol. nerds.

Genuinely boring album. I can see trolling with it, but liking it? That's absurd. Metallica has more ideas than this band, and they just rehashed Mqster of Puppet into radio rock and called it Death Magnetic. (Not that the album didn't suck, because it did.)

>>5940090
cool opinion, bro

>>5939999
Because that's what it is to the world of music. A big, unfunny joke.

>>5940090
2/10 troll harder

>>5940090
well duh. You listen to Metallica, so one could infer that an album that isn't filled with double kick and uber-distorted guitar would seem boring.
In other words, fuck your shit.

I have no idea what this album is

>>5940178
me neither

>>5940204
me threether

>>5940208
Seriously though...what is it?

>>5940219
>>5940208
>>5940204
>>5940178

>>5940219
i dunno

GODDAMMIT WHAT IS THIS ALBUM?!

>>5940219
something by neutral milk hotel

is it Mars Volta?

>>5940286
int the aeroplanes over the sea

>>5939988

My Son and I by Tambourine Head

They are my favorite band

>>5940277
okay, I'm really starting to think you're not kidding

what happened to that stinky cheese man thread that thread ruled the fuck out

i don't understand the hype over this album.

good songs from it to check out? I'M ASKING TO GET TROLLED HERE

>>5940309
why would they be joking? shit i didnt even know until i googled it 5 minutes ago. it's called being a newfag

what the fuck do the lyrics to oh comely mean? i don't fucking get this shit.

>>5940325
There are no good songs from it. I am not trolling or being sarcastic. It's just bad.

>>5940351
see i've always thought this since my hipster friend suggested i listen to oh comely... but i'm willing to give everything a second chance.

I would like to order 1 troll combo.

>>5940343
it's a really fucked up love song

>>5940360
Oh Comely would be the least accessible song, so your hipster friend is a dumbass.

Start at the beginning, because it benefits from being listened to as an album. Or if you're really unwilling, Two Headed Boy Pt 1 WILL get stuck in your head.

>>5940343
I'm not sure yet, but I think the narrator is singing to a friend/lover who has betrayed him. I haven't managed to work the whole thing out yet. Then it changes in the middle to be an Anne Frank reference, and finally just something I can't figure out at all.

>>5940379
WHY DO THESE LYRICS SUCK SO BAD?

>>5940401
do they?

>>5940408
have you listened to this shit?

I just googled some of the bands that you listen to. who the hell gives a fuck about unsuccessful failures the likes that this chat board listens to. does misery love company? or should someone introduce you to something called "billboard"?

seeing as any artist worth listening to is on there I'm pretty sure that anybody responding to this would be too busy ignoring what real music is, as you're all enthralled by what some untalented hacks could come up with

>>5940422

>>5940422
0/10

>>5940325

it's good to try listening to it as an album, but if you want individual songs try kinf og carrot flowers pt 1, in the aeroplane over the sea, two headed boy pt 1, and holland 1945.

that last one will get stuck in your head like a bitch.

>>5940401
Sorry bro but the lyrics are pretty much the best part. Looks like you're kind of hopeless as far as appreciating this album goes.

>>5940401

i guess you just won't like the album. oh well, different strokes. i used to hate this album. thought it was boring pretentious shit, but over time it really grew on me. not as amazing as some hipster-ass fucks make it out to be, but definitely an enjoyable album.

>>5940401
It's fucking poetry you nitwit. Go back to your System of a Down.

>>5940482
yeah, this shit is just waaaay too deep for me

the lyrics suck

Protip: The "two-headed boy" is a recurring character inspired by the brother of one of Mangum's friends who committed suicide. Both "Two-Headed Boy" tracks are dedicated to him, and he's also mentioned as the "dark brother" in "Holland, 1945."

"
And now we ride the circus wheel
With your dark brother wrapped in white
Says it was good to be alive
But now he rides a comet's flame
And won't be coming back again
The Earth looks better from a star
That's right above from where you are
He didn't mean to make you cry
With sparks that ring and bullets fly
On empty rings around your heart
The world just screams and falls apart"

That verse is all grieving the suicide, as is the entirety of "Two-Headed Boy Pt. 2."

What I like about it is how it isn't all explicit and stupid like Hospice. You can't find the pathos unless you dig for it, but it's there in spades.

im sorry but nmh is obviously too deep for me. thats why i can only listen to radiohead.

>>5940529
Jeff Mangum is a better poet than Thom Yorke.

>>5940529
Radiohead and NMH fan here

OMG DEEP POETRY

>>5940538
Seconded.

>>5940562
I'm sorry you're threatened by anything lyrically meaningful. Crawl back into your hipster-hole. I think there are still plenty of bands there who sing about oxford commas and having a good time at parties.

>>5940538
>implying that being better than Thom Yorke at anything is an accomplishment
That's like boasting about being better than the special kid next door.

>>5940583
There was no evidence of an implication in the post you quoted. It's just a direct comparison between two artists with no context given.

Are you new here?

>>5940580
>implying that there's something lyrically meaningful in this garbage

>>5940630
>implying you passed English 9

>>5940630
>if I can't understand it obviously nobody else can

>>5940646
i wish i was able to make assessments of someone's education level based on their opinion of the lyrical content of some shitty band's music.
>>5940648
i didn't say that. i just said it's shitty.

>>5940674
It's a talent, I know. You didn't deny it so I assume it's true.

>>5940706
you got me, brah. i still love to color, too. :)

>>5940674
How can you assess its shittiness if it has a deeper meaning you're ignoring?

>>5940729
the way the "deep meaning" is expressed is fucking terrible.

it's dumb that i'm arguing over lyrics anyway. i don't give a shit about lyrics. i pay attention to the music itself mostly when i listen to things which is why i absolutely love instrumental bands. pic related.

>>5940829
You probably don't read a lot of books, either?

"Music" isn't inherently superior to "lyrics," and vice versa. Just admit that there's an entire medium of creative expression of which you have minimal grasp.

>>5940896
at what point did i say it was superior to lyrics? stop trying so hard to prove that you're intellectually superior to another anon on a 4chan board. does it really matter that much to you?

>>5940924
>i don't give a shit about lyrics

I say we spam a new album, that say, never had a special place in thousands hearts before it became the laughing stock of a troupe of haranguing /mu/tants.

>>5940959
Bowie album?

>>5940938
at no point does what i said outright say or even vaguely imply that music is superior to lyrics. however, one can infer that i, personally, like music over lyrics/vocals. that does not mean that i will assert that it is fact that music is superior to lyrics.

shut the fuck uuuup.

>>5940959
See, if I hadn't loved ITAOTS for years before I found /mu/, I wouldn't find it's spammedness so funny now.

>>5940971
Oh, okay. As long as you acknowledge you're doing it wrong, that's good enough for me.

>>5940980
sigh. good day, anon.
