Nah f*** him

Will give some of this a listen now as I start my workout

Just realized I put Smiley Smile on my list instead of Pet Sounds at 49. Definitely should have been Pet Sounds lol.

definitely not a workout album lol

try 13th Floor Elevators second album Easter Everywhere. More refined than the debut might hit.

That's why I said to start. When I get past the initial little warmup I always throw on Rap or metal (lately). This is very pretty so far though

"Glass"
That subtle sitar in the back

Tbh I was gonna post but figured it might sound the most cliched to you

Why lol

The sitar and the way you said all random psych bands sound the same lol

Oh

Because even by 1967 the use of sitar was sort of cliched. Used to pretty tremendous and distinct effect here though.

I mean I'm sure there are some lesser psych bands that to you, would sound more cliched, even if you disagree with my statement overall. And I doubt you'd rec the bands that you would maybe think slightly less of. This album is pretty cool though

Family still better than anything you've shown me thus far though

was gonna watch something but realized i havent given it a concentrated listen since i got to '67 havent even seen this weird marble rekkid in years

You ever listen to Billy Woods?

Nae

Highlight

I'll check it out tomorrow sound a little haywire for rn

Song to the Magic Frog vs The Gnome

Song the what??

Sagittarius track 2 rivals Syd for silly psychedelic whimsy

Re-falling in love of all things El-P. Kinda dismissed RTJ after 2 but after some more listens, I'm convinced El-P is probably among the most consistent rappers/producers ever. Whatever shortcomings that he may have as a rapper is balanced by Killer Mike on RTJ and his own production on all his work (El-P is probably a top 10 (maybe 5) hip-hop producer ever but this thread ain't ready for that conversation.

Consistency from front to back IMO

Get a Life >>

I guess I’m realizing one of my issues with Piper is that Syd doesn’t really have the melodic sensibilities for that kind of psych music. He’s much better for me solo because he’s lost and deranged sounding and it works when he’s intimately the focus but less so when there’s a band of ambitious musicians around him trying to tap into a style. Matilda Mother is the one where it all kinda lines up for me. Then I’ll listen to something like this and realize I like it more than most of Piper.

I still really like Piper, it made my list after all, but it just doesn’t fully connect with me the way it seems to with a lot of you.
