Bad opinions • Page 674

I've come around about FJM a little more in the last year but I still really can't enjoy any of his records except Fear Fun, which holds up extremely well

 

ok here's mine

my beautiful dark twisted fantasy is not a very good album

 

lots of people telling on themselves in here that they care more about manufactured narratives than actual music. you hate to see it.

the chorus of god’s favorite customer is more emotionally effecting than the entirety of the hotelier’s discography. if you’re gonna come into this thread, come equipped with something at least remotely interesting.

 

want to jump in on FJM talk real quick,

a semi-big local music site my friend worked at wrote a bad review of his concert and FJM sent them a private email that was about 8 paragraphs long shunning them out and calling everyone who works their a fucking idiot who just doesnt understand real art and ever since then i havent been able to take anything that dude does seriously.

thats my unpopular take, FJM is a loser

EDIT: example snippet of the pretentious garbage that spews from this mans mouth when hes not praised as a musical genius

"However, the kind of pseudo-intellectual, pluralistic, speculative hair-splitting perpetrated by mush-brained millennial bloggers like yourself ignores the fact that music, and culture’s high water marks in general, derive its vitality, as an art-form and a dialectic through the ages, from dualities

Accounting for the liquid nature of “capital T” Taste quickly leads into a quagmire of particularities, and a jockeying by the critic, and tastemakers to claim some kind of innate partiality to it ... The intertextual acrobatics skeptical-of-skepticism post-post-modernists such as yourself (“How blasé and paranoid in 2015 to posit that most pop music is industrially manufactured like Whoppers or drones and require untold publicity to sell to the public!”) to justify your - let’s just call a spade a spade – bourgeoisie preferences may make for great Dadaist poetry"

 

I’ve talked at length about why I don’t like his music, you’re being ridiculous. Take a break, Pat

 

lol ok pat

 

couldn't give less of a shit about what josh tillman does in his "free time"

 

Nope. Honestly had to revisit it right now to remember how it goes, lol. Like maybe the first minute? But the sum of the parts just falls so flat for me personally. And, it came out in the midst of me being in love w/ The National, when Boxer was my, like, second favorite album ever, & I was/am very into FEFA. Something about the album just... doesn't... work for me.

 

Tbh the song’s held in such high regard that I can’t imagine any cover would be considered a proper tribute. Killswitch did their thing with it, and I’d say it’s fine for what it aims to be.

 

what i mean to say is this thread is garbage because it encourages everyone to indulge in the most insufferable parts of music fandom with reckless abandon

 

Yes and that includes people doing it for a living

 

Yes

 

im mostly talking about them lmao

 

This is wild

Hotter take: it’s the last actually great kanye album

 

yeezus is a lot better but i don't want to turn this into a kanye thread for obvious reasons.

 

what were the 200 best live bootlegs of the 2010s huh u fuckin lames???

 

I know this is a joke but I bought a nice one by the Beastie Boys this decade but it’s like from when they were a hardcore band

 

it was most definitely not a joke

 

I think I might have also bought a Green Day one actually lol oh God why am I like this

EDIT:.... I also bought a Miles Davis one.. on yellow vinyl.. in France

 

Every single person has bad taste except me

 

unpopular music opinion: any band that doesn't release recordings of their shows is silly and if they don't do it because their shows aren't interesting enough then i dont want to see them!
