General Music Discussion III

[Mirrodinia]

Your name definitely seems familiar, but man its been a while.

Last time I was on here regularly was probably 2012.

[Mirrodinia]

I'm interested in exploring this kind of Y2K era paranoid doomed experimental early internet vibe that I think the below albums get across really well. Anyone have any more suggestions as to what might fit with these?

Radiohead - OK Computer, Kid A, and Amnesiac
Wilco - Summerteeth and Yankee Hotel Foxtrot
The Flaming Lips - The Soft Bulletin and Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots
Grandaddy - The Sophtware Slump
PJ Harvey - Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea
Porcupine Tree - In Absentia
Muse - Origin Of Symmetry
Björk - Homogenic and Vespertine
Modest Mouse - The Moon And Antarctica
Jimmy Eat World - Clarity
Microphones - Mount Eerie
Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas To Heaven
Deftones - White Pony
Coldplay - Parachutes and A Rush Of Blood To The Head
U2 - Pop
The Shins - Oh Inverted World
System Of A Down - Toxicity
OutKast - Stankonia

Obviously there's a pretty wide variety here, and I think some of them are only kind of tangential to this vibe I'm talking about. So I've ordered them so that the stuff at the top is more what I'm getting at and the stuff further down kind of spins off in different directions, though I believe it's still related. I haven't heard the full discographies of most of these artists either, so feel free to recommend other albums from these same artists. Other than Radiohead, Muse, Coldplay, and U2 there's a lot I don't know from them!

[Corrian]

Did you have a RYM? I can't remember if I am remembering properly.

[Mirrodinia]

Did you have a RYM? I can't remember if I am remembering properly.

No I didn't back then. I do have one now, but I really only use it to catalogue my record collection. I think I reviewed like two albums, and one of them I only reviewed because I had to go through the process of adding it to the database so I could put it in my digital collection.

[Anollasia]

I used to post in the General Music Discussion thread a lot when I was first getting into music years ago. Well I'm older now, much more into music, and back on NS. Hello Corrian! Hello Anollasia!

That was such a long time ago! Welcome back!

Out of those, I've only listened to the Radiohead ones and the U2 one. I think the album Gran Turismo by The Cardigans sort of has that vibe, though it's not an album I like that much (the singles from it are good though).

Pop isn't that great imo. For U2, I'd recommend Boy, War, The Unforgettable Fire, The Joshua Tree, Achtung Baby, and Zooropa.

I'll check that out!

Also I may not have been clear, U2 is one of the ones I do know their discography very well. I agree with everything you said though!

Ah, yeah, I think I remember now. Man it has been a long time. Its weird to think how much all of our lives have probably changed since then.

A whole lot has changed for me (I was about 12 or 13 at the time). I can't imagine how much it's changed for you as well!

I'm 27, for some reason, working in retail throughout the pandemic.

Its been something, certainly.

I'm also not a fan of U2's 90s albums. To me, everything between 1988 and 1999 should not have happened.

To me it's the stuff after Pop where U2 bought too much into their own legend status and forgot they should be pushing boundaries rather than living too comfortably in them. I will say there are some decent songs spread across the 00's stuff, mostly the hits, but as records they don't stand up to anything Zooropa and prior. Although No Line On The Horizon does take a shot at getting out of their comfort zone again and mostly succeeds. That one is worth listening all the way through. But otherwise it's been a creative drought forever 20 years.

I would recommend Selected Ambient Works 85–92 by Aphex Twin, it’s not for everyone but if you liked Kid A, you’ll love it

[Corrian]

Dude, there's a new Porcupine Tree song.

Its been 12 years.
