Deconstruct the Classics!

"Feedback loops" and "angelic" in the same sentence

Just when I thought the praise for that album couldn't get more ridiculous

This coming from someone who purposely used guitar feedback on several tracks on my most recent album. I actually used it to enhance other sounds rather than passing it off as being worthy of carrying an entire hour+ long album

It's pretty whacky when other people have opinions different from you huh? It's a matter of taste and MMM pleases mine. Don't go ****ting on other people's opinions, especially when they're not returning the favour.

Lol what even are you talking about? I'm not ****ting on anybody's opinions, I'm ****ting on the album. Quit going for this copout when someone doesn't think highly of some of your favorite avant-garbage

**Frownland** · 06-25-2015, 02:56 PM

I guess I misconstrued it when you called my praise for the album ridiculous.

Guys, don't start fighting again.

It's an important predecessor for a lot of noise/industrial/drone, but I think this thread isn't about influential proto albums of obscure genres.

It's about whatever you want it to be about. I would say MMM qualifies, as it's certainly well known, and I did say any genre. Frownland, are you looking to be signed up then, and is this the next battle? Anyone else want to sign up?

YorkeDaddy · 06-25-2015, 02:58 PM

I'm down to sign up for something but I don't know what yet

**Frownland** · 06-25-2015, 03:00 PM

Sure I'll sign up, but how about a real classic.

I might sound like the most pretentious person here, but it actually MMM calms me down.
Industrial is the key word for it's after effects on an influence scale, but this seriously helped me form my opinions on how I listened to these works. On a Cinematic level, this would work great in a Future Shock film as it sounds like the breakdown of everything electronic, especially the Lock Groove - It was actually a major trend of film by the time of it's release.

Experimental Music fans of the day caught the jokes as well as saluting the fact that a major music star who decided to do a sonic FU did it in a way they can understand right in the middle of the John Denver and Boogie Rock era. Unlike George Harrison's Electronic Sound, this was a stone cold attack of sound with a bleak beauty.

Try listening to this in an abandoned building!

OK, Frown and Yorke ye're signed up. However Frownland stick to the one album till it's decided, try not to be throwing others out as you may confuse people who will start voting for that.

So just to be clear:
It's currently Frownland's turn
His album is Metal Machine Music by Lou Reed
The score at the moment is 2-1 for Yes.

**Frownland** · 06-25-2015, 03:37 PM

Didn't you ask if this was the next battle? I mentioned that I threw it out as a joke but I guess we could keep MMM, if only to piss YD off
