Having grown up late 90s into the 2000s I went from buying cds to lime wire to spotify.
In the last 6 months I have found such a greater appreciation for just putting on a whole album and listening to it front to back.
I feel there is a huge loss when going from one artist to another to another all random.
Today I am listening to Refused, The Shape Of Punk To Come
For many, absolutely! That’s how they were intended, and they deserve it.
Others, it’s just ten songs randomly arranged.
Pretty good litmus test on whether they’re good musicians or just corporate karaoke.
Yeah that’s what I think too, an album if approached as a whole piece of art is great compared to random singles
9 times out of 10, I prefer full cohesive albums.
That said, this is an absurd statement. Musical talent has nothing to do with it.
I’m not saying that the musicians in corporate karaoke bands aren’t talented, but I’ll give more credit to a composer than a talented cover band any day.
You’re free to feel differently.
Who is talking about cover bands???
I could probably name dozens of amazing albums that are not “cohesive,” that contain no cover songs.
You honestly seem confused.
You didn’t understand my point, and I’m over it, so let’s just move on.
I understood it just fine… It just wasn’t really related to what we were talking about.
Nobody was talking about covers or “corporate karaoke bands,” but you.
Listen to a (nearly always incohesive) Ween album, and dare to call them that. No cover songs either.
Not my favorite band by any means, just the first that came to mind when thinking of bands who usually opt out of making their albums sound cohesive.
Guided by Voices is another that just came to mind.
You’ll just have to trust me when I say you’re arguing against a point I never made. I don’t disagree with anything you’re saying. I don’t know who you are arguing with.
