Nah this is trash for no reason
I skimmed though it and wth is that solo at 1:02:27??? 💀

Some parts sounds like bootleg SpongeBob music

The drum patterns are scust and idk what those vocals are supposed to mean

Maybe one day I'll listen to it in full don't have the patience just right now though

You see lmao

I know vox did video about it

Also many famous musicians love it

Pretty David Byrne (Talking Heads) said it was on his fav records oat

Is it 6 separate parts or 6 whole projects?

It's one project in 6 stages
Those stages apperently represent stages of dementia
Take it like a play with different acts

imagine judging someone elses music choice while u have a death grips avy as if people aren't allowed to make music alternative to what people are used to

Stage 3 where it really hits its stride with the subject matter imo

fam lost it and couldn't tell what the weather was doing or if it was all in the mind

Clearly its a piece of art more concerned with extrinsic concepts rather than the music itself. You can do whatever you want, i really dont give a s***, but i cant relate to wanting to listen to 6 hours of dementia simulation at all. Seems terribly boring and unnecessarily negative

And i really just do not have the time for it but if you do i envy you

How is it like dementia what

just listened to this after seeing this post earlier and this honestly might be one of the saddest albums i’ve ever heard the lines about her buying a backpack for her daughter was so precious

Great Show ^

NOW ONLY >>>>

keep listening bro, absolutely masterful composition and playing. lyrics/poetry too

but i really dont like the angle that people say it "sounds bad on purpose". it sounds great to me its just very different (mostly rhythmically) from what most people are used to. and its the exact opposite of just random noise or poor playing, everything is very complex and extremely calculated. his vocal style might be offputting for some as well but hes one of the better vocalists in rock history imo. does a disservice to avant garde/more "challenging" music and too reductive to just explain it away as it sounds bad on purpose and thats a good thing

it helps if you have more of a reference point of similar music/music it draws influence from. especially free jazz on songs like Hair Pie just sounds like noise to some people until you really know how to listen to it. or basic raw blues songs like China Pig

i think it really speaks to its greatness in the fact that its been so influential but simultaneously one of the most unique albums ever. (ex: it influenced basically the entire strain of "experimental" rock music encompassing post punk, math rock, progressive rock, etc.)

the way i recommend people get into it is by focusing on each instrument at a time. Start with the drums first, listen to the whole album mostly focusing on the drums and you will pick up on the super interesting rhythms and it actually grooves. then listen once focusing on one guitar, then the other guitar, then how they interplay. eventually you will hear how it all comes together. maybe start with another one of his more accessible albums like Safe as Milk or Shiny Beast so you can get a feel for his style

its endlessly listenable to me, i can always find something new in the playing. but i do have to be in the right mood for it, i dont really listen to it playing in the background as much

idk why i wrote all that but it makes me want to listen to the album again lol

My mom is showing early signs of dementia, I just hope she doesn't end up forgetting who I am

genuinely do not understand a single thing that is going on in this thread

an album that breaks you huh

Only album I ever felt uncomfortable listening to was woundfucker by atrax morgue
