Album of the week

Townes van Zandt is a straight-up genius, and honestly, my voice could probably pull off 👍

Popol Vuh were basically pioneers of ambient music. Florian Fricke was definitely one of the most underrated Krautrock artists out there. Back in '72 they dropped 'Hosianna Mantra,' then followed up with 'Tantric Songs' in '79. Both are huge pieces of the American electronic avant-garde scene, heavily blended with traditions from places like Eastern Europe, the Far East, Africa, and South America. But I wonder—do these tracks actually sound fifty years old, or do they feel brand new? Is it meditation or religious music? Maybe it's just a mix of the ancient and the modern? Or maybe it’s just timeless. I guess you'll have to decide for yourself...

The only Factor

Rather than throwing out more suggestions on a thread that honestly lost its point a long time ago, I’d like to ask if someone could just hook me up with some partial PDF music files instead.

Are you on your period again or something? I honestly don't get what the issue is here, or even what the point is.

Nooo. That was just Dennis Hall41 back in the day. 🐔

Well, Dennis Hall41 loves a bit of drama too, just in his own special way! But honestly, there are plenty of others just like him. 😁

Charles Ramos4 and I totally screwed that one up—we definitely prefer Springsteen’s voice over Hope Sandoval’s. It reminds me of what my cousin always tells me—"watch out, kid, or you'll end up losing your head."😁

Lisa Davis46 said:Seriously, are you having one of those days again? I honestly don't get why there's such a struggle with this topic—it's pretty self-explanatory.

If you aren't seeing it, then I have nothing left to say—especially considering the general activity level and the sheer volume of posts in this section of the subforum. What am I supposed to do, chase you or Amanda Robinson4 around just to get some traction? We already agreed to set the petty grievances aside.😁>

I can see we've got some new top-tier recommenders and listeners joining in; the thread is really picking up.

And what am I supposed to tell you? Just wipe it however you want, with or without the mess.😁
Besides, why are you guys even looking for that kind of partiality? I mean, you can't just get that easily...

Maybe try practicing some self-control. Post if you feel like it. Or don't. Some days are just like that.

Dennis Hall41 said:The Master and I both called you out—we just prefer Springsteen's vocals over Hope Sandoval's. As an old uncle of mine used to say, "Watch your step, kid, or you might end up tripping over your own feet."😁

You’re puffing your chest out a bit here, but honestly, you’re completely irrelevant to this situation. And regarding Hope—take a look back at those two posts of yours on this thread; they're totally contradictory. It’s clear you're just someone without a backbone who shifts their stance depending on which side is easier to defend. Now, you’ve gone and suggested the most overrated album in history for Album of the Week. You clearly don't have a clue about rock music—you don't even actually like it; you just read reviews and parrot whatever opinion seems easiest to justify. Just leave me out of it.

Lisa Davis46 said:I don't see it—there are plenty of new high-quality recommenders and listeners, the topic is thriving.

And what am I supposed to say to you? Go ahead, push your luck—with or without the fallout. 😁
Besides, why are you even chasing partiality? You can't just stumble into that kind of validation...

Practice some self-control; fast if you feel like fasting. Just post and move on—that's just how life goes.

As for the album threads, the discussion is booming everywhere, starting with you and everyone else. You haven't exactly been some elitist snowflake preaching about "high art" for just two posts. It's hardly a struggle for you to suggest Nica, Doors, or whatever else...

brightwolf48 said:If you don't see it, then I've got nothing else to say—especially given how much everyone's been posting in this section lately. What, am I supposed to drag you or Amanda Robinson into this just to get some attention? We already agreed to drop the petty stuff.😁

Just because people have zero taste and care more about whether some kid of Šuput’s last farted doesn't mean YOU should be looking for a penalty.

But hey, if you're really that desperate to get banned here, just say: "Dennis Hall41, go screw yourself and your stupid American ways," and I'll head over to the main board and happily demand justice on your behalf.😁

brightwolf48 said:Look, you’re trying way too hard—honestly, you don't even matter in this conversation. And regarding Hope, just go back and read your own posts on this thread; they totally contradict each other. You're basically just a coward who shifts his opinion whenever it's convenient to sound smarter. Now you're suggesting the most overrated album in history for Album of the Week? You clearly don't know anything about rock music—you don't even like it, you just parrot whatever critics say to fake an opinion. So just leave me out of it.

I AM SO DONE WITH THIS!!!! I'M OUTTA HERE!!!!

🤣

🤣

brightwolf48 said:The album threads are actually thriving with discussion, starting with you and everyone else. You haven't exactly left more than two posts about that whole "snowflakes crying over art" thing. It’s not exactly hard for you to suggest Nica, Doors, or whatever...

And look, I do jump into certain threads regularly, just as much as my current schedule allows.
The discussions on specific bands have been pretty active—solid debates, decent amount of posts.

Or are you talking about your own threads specifically? Maybe the issue is just that your intros are boring... 😁

I don't get why you're being such a jerk; it feels like you just came here to vent. I'm moving all of this to the chat because you're cluttering up the main feed with pointless suggestions. If you need to blow off steam, go ahead and do it there, but let people here suggest and listen to the albums they actually like without dumping your frustrations on us. There's a sub-forum for that.

Dennis Hall41 said:Just because people lack any sense of taste—to the point where they care more about when Šuput’s kid last let one rip than the music itself—doesn't mean YOU should be hunting for a penalty.

But look, if you're truly desperate to get banned here, just say this: "Dennis Hall41, go screw yourself and your stupid Americana," and I'll head over to the FCC and gladly file a formal complaint on your behalf.😁

Easy there, amigo—I won't be doing that. Personally, I love Americana, but even then, context matters. This week, the Master suggested a fantastic album, and naturally, that kind of country or folk music needs to be viewed through a different lens compared to other similar albums from that era.

I’m moving this over to the chat because you’re clogging up the main feed with pointless arguments. If you need to blow off steam, go ahead and do it there, but let people here actually suggest and listen to the albums they love without all this personal frustration leaking everywhere. There's a specific subforum for venting for a reason.

Talking about "leaking" emotions... how ironic.🤦 Viva placenta!

What am I supposed to do, force you or Amanda Robinson to get a passing grade? We already agreed to put the petty stuff aside...😁

To be totally honest, it kind of bugs me too that way more people jump in to suggest albums than actually bother commenting once the threads finally go live.

And yeah, I’ve noticed our activity levels just swing wildly from week to week, depending on the album. Obviously, the biggest debates happen when opinions are split, but I also think the quality of the content matters—from the intro itself to those other posts that actually provoke me enough to chime in...

Speaking of Album of the Week, I’ve listened to Mazzy Star a few times now and I’m digging it, but man, I just haven't had the headspace to write anything meaningful about it. But hey, that's why we keep the threads open! Anyone can jump back in whenever they feel like it.

I haven't even finished the second album yet. So much has been going on this week... it's not even related to this gorgeous weather, which is honestly a shame because spending it all on the internet feels like a waste. It's just one of those things where nobody's online right when the weather turns beautiful... 😁

So, my advice? Just hang tight for a bit before we hand out any grades. I'm sure there are plenty of reasons why things are a little quieter this week than usual. 🙂
