Critically acclaimed forgotten rock from 30+ years ago.Do you look at old books on rock like the trouser press or the allmusic guide and discover these great bands youve never heard of, that are sonically cooler than any rock out today?
I think I like LOAF
>>131965703>>131966595Buy an ad [spoiler]No, really, start buying ads again. I miss that era[/spoiler]
Don't know why we have loaf and AnCo shilling like it's 2011 all over again, but old /mu/ isn't coming backthat said, if anyone remembers the previous thread - I chickened out on calling Numero Group headquarters, but emailed Ken Shipley about interest in reissuing The Raymond Brake. They're the best to come out of North Carolina during that time.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EZtRmics7Ng
>>131968523There's no reason to buy ads now. I did so earlier this year and the amount of people here sitewide is probably 1/5 what it was back then (and back then wasn't anything special).Outside of the generals, here there isn't more than 10-20 posters here.If you want to discover actual great music beyond what /mu/core was and what rym is, just listen to these playlists https://open.spotify.com/user/o1fvr3cd8f47h2fxhckf937es
I just make custom charts on RYM for that.
>>131970384There's stuff that the critics liked that are completely forgotten on rym though.Like I've found several different critics' favorite albums, eps, singles during that era that have less than 20 ratings and no reviews on rym. Artists that don't even have 500 monthly listeners on Spotify.
>>131970637there's stuff the critics panned that were actually excellent too. I don't care what they think.
>>131970637>>131970675>less than 20 ratings and no reviews on rymThat's where the fun RYM is. If a late 90s/00s indie album is also forgotten but was a semi popular band and has a low rating, you also hit jackpot. Old 00s RYM sucked off whatever critics said and had no original thought. But yes a mix of reading old music publications + RYM + lastfm/discogs is a great setup.
>>131969208Numero is putting anything out these days, most is good but there ve been some duds , just send them a letter, what you linked is good
>>131972388For me it’s Passion Pit. Manners is a strong album but 95% of reviews stem from the early 2010s and contrarianism towards the previous hype. It’s completely forgotten and undervalued in online critic circles. This applies to many forgotten 2000s albums with thousands or reviews
>>131972420>Manners is a strong albumif that's the one with Swimming in the Flood and so on it is very good. the one after that I didn't like much
>>131972398They've been reissuing Ida and Tsunami records, so it's safe to assume they bought the rights to reissue albums Simple Machines put out back then. It's a matter of time and interest with The Raymond Brake, I believe. An email and maybe a call might suffice.
>>131970028>spotted Radiohead in one of the playlistsInto the motherfucking trash it goes. You have forfeited any integrity.
>>131972420that album's not completely forgotten as there was a Passion Pit reunion/revival style mini summer tour this past summer that I heard about thru the grapevine
>>131972438yes that one
Bump
LOAFLOAFLOAF
Cuckgau loved them.
Bumping the non 3rd worlder thread.
100% GRADE A AMERICAN ROCK
>>131980973Second that
>>131980187Shocking
GREAT ALBUM, OP!sounds like incesticide, kinda.
>>131965703Why is this band getting memed all of sudden? What happened?
>>131983824all of a sudden? loafposting has been around for years, it just died out recently. it's just not a very memorable or strong meme
Appreciated, big Loafer
Oooh, when the Loaf hits.
Vee Vee's an absolute classic, its bizarre that icky gets the hype.
Bumpz
>>131983824Idk I made a thread 1-2 weeks ago because I discovered their discography and preferred it over Polvo. That seems to have awakened an ancient spammer
>>131992568BASED.they deserve it.
I wish LOAF was brown coded so they could get necrobumped for a month as well.
>>131996964I do too.
Are Archers Of Loaf 3rd world core like the other 16 threads the brownoid is bumping?
>>131999818Nah they're just a good underrated band from Chapel Hill. Aged a lot better than most of their contemporaries. Have some Loaf anon.
>>131999830Don't mind if I do. Any other cool North Carolina bands like Superchunk or Polvo?
https://youtu.be/AZjH1U3XCJobetter than polvo and superchunk
>>132000834see >>131969208Seam, but they moved to Chicago not long after their first albumhttps://youtu.be/J-Ecawq_BTo?list=OLAK5uy_kAOLvEbNDJVgQNDNDT-0suPbrXiXHhNXY
