Album Nomination Game -- ROUND ONE
Alex C:
I wish Black Moth Super Rainbow well and all, but aside from some of the beats they use I'm just really not into it. It's a timbre thing; it's like someone took some talented people and then paid them money to create an album while only using sounds I find irritating.
Also, I actively like Public Enemy quite a bit.
Dimmukane:
Yeah, it's probably too much to expect them to win, but I was hoping some of the more edgy kinds of music would make it far. Most of this stuff is relatively inoffensive-sounding until you get to Dopethrone, Agalloch, BMSR, Opeth, Black Sabbath, and a couple of the punk albums.
Public Enemy is good and all, but take away their lyrics and you have an assortment of beats and samples that kind of form a song. Do that for BMSR, and it makes me feel like I'm in a secret field that no one else knows about. I was hoping more people would know what that felt like. But the whole weirder music/lyric debate is not something I want to start.
How many other people have music transport their minds to some alien location, which you could spend hours describing every minute detail of? I'm not talking about any kind of congruence between the music and a particular moment in time of your life, like in the 'I feel so happy' thread. Maybe I have some kind of half-assed synesthaesia?
Alex C:
My experience with them is more "Oh fuck, mellotrons and vocoders. I hate mellotrons and vocoders."
Dimmukane:
See, I've never had that problem with any sounds as long as they aren't too loud.
I think maybe I just listen to music the way Roger Ebert watches movies. If that makes any sense to anyone besides myself.

Couple of my non-votes were because I wasn't familiar with the music. Some others were just too hard to really choose.
