/mu/ is a 4chan board that is there to discuss music but ultimately turns into a complete mess in any thread. Today I'm taking a look at the albums that they deem to be "essential" and ranking them in a tier list!

In part two of our journey into /mu/ core we talk about some more classic albums such as The Glow Pt. 2 by The Microphones, Deathconciousness by Have a Nice Life, and Selected Ambient Works 85-92 by Aphex Twin. We also talk about some albums that I didn't expect to be considered /mu/ core such as Since I Left You by The Avalanches and Untrue by Burial. And of course we talk about some albums that I haven't heard before such as The Downward Spiral by Nine Inch Nails, Homogenic by Bjork, Daydream Nation by Sonic Youth and Souvlaki by Slowdive.
Once again, making this video was a lot of fun and I'm totally down for a part 3 if you guys are! But first, lets dive into some shoegaze.. So if you know any albums that you'd call an "essential shoegaze album" then put it in the comments below!

The problem with the Downward Spiral take is that its a concept album and some of the songs are meant to be a bit over the top and dramatic. He does mention the production but he definitely doesnt do the album justice in how unique and good it sounds. It hasnt aged a day since release.

@redheadken 2 года назад

I COMPLETELY agree with your take on Souvlaki and Loveless. While it's a pioneer for the shoegaze genre, I find Loveless to be pretty one note and not as dynamic. On the other hand, Souvlaki takes the concepts mbv laid out and takes them to the next level. I'm sure people find it to be a lot more pop when compared to other, more sophisticated shoegaze albums, but I can't not vibe to what Slowdive is putting down across the entire project. There's hardly a dull moment and the tracks don't blend together like they do in Loveless. A+ take my man

Also subscribed for Emergency and I and Souvlaki.

@jambulance 2 года назад

I want to fight you on Mezzanine but I actually respect people’s opinions on music so you get the pass. I also understand why you feel it’s pretty one note, it’s very specific moody, and it actually took me longer than I’d admit to get into since I was obsessed with Heligoland for ages prior to really enjoying Mezz, most of their albums are more up beat than Mezz too, Blue Lines has so many bangers comparatively. I just like melting into Mezz a lot more. And Protection too is just as spacey.

Untrue by burial is a stunning album and one of my favourites here but I don’t think you can get it unless you’re British tbh. I’m sure there are cases of Americans loving it but the way it paints a picture of grimy late night barely illuminated cold streets is something special. Every Brit can relate to going clubbing or a mates house and then having to come back at like 3am in the dark on a night bus.

@@gianmarcobulla223 exactly, ultimately it’s introverted. Being in some cold rainy British city couped up in a tiny apartment will lend itself to that but it’s hardly necessary.

“Try hardish” what is being tried hard? Like legit Trent Reznor actually was seriously addicted to meth and wrote an album about how dark it is to be so hollow and low. Why do you younger dudes think it’s cringe to genuinely express? Are black flag incel because they have angry words and is joy division cringe because of how Ian Curtis tries to describe how conflicted he is by the love affair he was living in? It doesn’t really seem like you shat on downward spiral but really seems you strongly missed a pretty real aspect of what went into making it.

@KelleyGreenEcstasy 2 года назад

I'm only 30 but I did listen to a lot of Aphex Twin growing up so I came in around the middle of his heyday, i suppose. My understanding, half remembering articles I've read over the years, is that first off, the selected works are catchy. but the biggest impact is Richard's use and manipulation of the technology at the time. Basically, he was making sounds with machines that shouldn't be able to make the sounds they were making, and he was using established e-instruments in a way that no one was thinking of. I'm not sure if that's why people rank it high, or if it's just the catchiness. But the reason I was always taught is that it was probably the largest leap forward in electronic technique and manipulation that we'll see until they make quantum instruments or something. And he just happened to record his practice and experiments and that's what the selected works represent. Like watching a documentary about someone trying to learn how to make a movie but then they end up making a banger.

@zuppadigamberetti7288 2 года назад

The Texas-Jerusalem Crossroads by Lift To Experience is one of the best Shoegaze/Post-Rock albums and album in general that I’ve ever heard. It has really cool spoken words Slint-like passages and a weird concept about apocalypse and Texas as the new promised land which i didn’t really understand fully yet and within all of that is also Christian rock. It’s often regarded as RYMcore so I guess it must be MUcore too.

@tylersquanto8938 2 года назад

In regards to your SAW comments, Aphex Twin may have more experimental records, but I think his debut is his most consistent. It’s easily his most influential and iconic statement of the 90s, but I also feel like it lays the groundwork for the rest of his records but introducing his strange personality to the public. A lot of electronic music producers didn’t really have that strong of an identity around that time. In that sense, I’d compare it to Ziggy stardust in how it’s probably not their most bold album, but it’s the best feat of songwriting and track-for-track consistency.

Listen to Mezzanine right after having sex and the album might click more I actually describe Dummy the same way except that's the album you listen to before sex Play Bjork's Vespertine during if you feel like you love yourself and your partner. Play Portishead's Third during if you hate yourself haha

My favourite Shoegaze-y album ever is Love Is A Stream- Jefre Cantu-Ledesma. Would love to hear your opinions on it!

@lammylalalajammy 2 года назад

Ceres & Calypso in the Deep Time and Two Airships/Exploded Falls (both by Candy Claws) are some of the best showcase album I've heard.

@KyleReidMu 2 года назад

Two Airships / Exploder Falls is a 10/10 in my opinion! Idk why I never considered it to be shoegaze...

I’m really glad you liked Laughing Stock! Ascension Day has been my most listened to song for like 3 years running. If you enjoy that sort of laid-back cerebral style of post-rock, I can’t recommend Hex by Bark Psychosis enough. It’s a fantastically chill album that is both easy to listen to in the background and surprisingly emotionally impactful when given greater attention. That offer for $20 if you decide to dive into Talk Talk’s discography (including Mark Hollis) is still valid, by the way.

@KyleReidMu 2 года назад

Thanks for the rec! I'll make sure to write that one down. I'll definitely be diving into Talk Talks discography but I'm still not sure if I'll make a dedicated video for it.. We'll see haha

So glad Ive finally found someone else who prefers Souvlaki to Loveless, I guess its vibe just suits me so much more. Loveless is like the atmosphere of a fierce storm outside your house while youre under your covers. Souvlaki is like the atmosphere of a 3am cigarrete looking out the window taking in the city at night. Edit: Also since everyone else and their dog has recommended Nowhere by Ride I think Its Immaterial by Black Marble is also a great Shoegaze album, nowhere near on the same level as the big three but a very underrated laid back sound that definetely takes more inspiration from Souvlaki than from Loveless

@KyleReidMu 2 года назад

That is a perfect way of describing both albums! Also thank you for the suggestion :)

I love Hospice and that’s how I ended up finding this video wanting to hear peoples opinions on it. Although I love this album, I do agree that there’s this ego stifling the whole thing. I feel like the storytelling is just so emotional and i really love how you’re basically listening to a story. Bear itself is such an amazing song. You can just feel the emotion and heaviness of the situation. How many songs are there about a couple having to get an abortion? Let alone many that are this emotional. I can really feel the main characters hopelessness and pain while being in this abusive relationship described. Overall, it is such an interesting concept album about being in an abusive relationship. I see why people don’t like it, but I feel like it just resonates for a lot of people
