Unpopular Music Opinions

I never got the Remain In Light love either. It's like you stick a bit of world music in something and music critics fall over themselves to praise it to high heaven.

Fear Of Music is so much superior to that album.

Please don't kill me for this!
I think Korn's See You On The Other Side was a very good (not great) album. Most people just completely discredit Korn's last three albums, but I really enjoy SYOTOS.
It's definitely not comparable to Untouchables, but imho it stomps both album before and after it.

Remain In Light isn't their best but great nonetheless.

My review from RYM:

Quote:

'The Great Curve' could go on for hours and I would still love it. Brilliantly layered with great syncopation on drums galore... Most of the rest of the album is good, though it grows tedious at certain tracks. I find myself legitimately waiting for it to end a few tracks after 'The Great Curve'.

This album is so ingrained in repetition, and so many of these rhythms and melodies do not justify being repeated for this long. The instrumental aspect of 'Born Under Punches (The Heat Goes On)' is boring by the one-minute mark, and it rarely changes. The vocal efforts do, but it does move the song in any particular direction, and leaves me bored for a good 4 or 5 extra minutes. The same can be said... For almost... Every song that isn't 'The Great Curve'. That song is the only one here with the rhythms worthy of such excess repetition. Not to mention I'd be lying if I didn't say the vocal patterns in the song are unbelievable, something that if they'd done with more deserving instrumental parts, would have been great.

tl;dr It's repetitive and doesn't justify its own repetitiveness.

Sgt Peppers is my favorite Beatles album because I feel it's their only album that lacks throwaway. Every track on there is decent, and I feel they peaked musically with that album.

Revolver..

Or Rubber Soul.

Rubber Soul, and sometimes Revolver are the only Beatles albums I can listen to from front to back without eventually becoming bored. Needless to say... I think... The Beatles... Are.... Over...R-r-r-....

No, that's been said too many times.

I love how after what Urban said my King Crimson comment was ignored

Because they're shit, well.. They probably aren't. But most people know where I stand with Prog rock.

~~James~~ · 06-06-2010, 03:25 PM

I love Prog and still find them overrated.
