Unpopular Music Opinions III: Friggin Cobbler Vs. The World

[GirlsAloudFan]

Hell yeah it is.

I've done my good deed for the day.

 

[cobl04]

Instant Crush, from the new Daft Punk album, sucks. Barely rates above the meandering bores like Game of Love or Within.

 

[LemonMirrorSky]

Popular music as a whole sucks. Classical is where it's at.

 

[bono_212]

Seeing the phrase "This Debaser tune" made me laugh for some reason.

 

[LMP]

Within's got a gorgeous melody. I agree that Game of Love meanders, made more apparent by its placement near the too of the album.

Instant Crush is a banger.

 

[phanan]

I love Instant Crush. One of my faves from that album.

 

[purpleoscar]

I love Instant Crush. One of my faves from that album.

Yeah, agree. Classic love triangle. Though classical is quite amazing.

Beethoven Piano sonatas.

What a weird thread.

Here's my contribution:

Atoms for peace is fucking shit.

 

[LemonMelon]

Amok grew on me a little bit on a recent listen, but I still find it pretty dreary. Considering the talent on display, the production is all wrong. It's all one long electronic wash. It sounds like Thom could have recorded it all himself.

Apparently it's far more impressive live, and I wouldn't doubt that.

 

[No spoken words]

Impy shat his pants during their concert.

I love Amok, but I get where you're coming from re the talent. I can't tell what Flea adds, and he's a brilliant bassist.

Every song on Amnesiac > House of Cards

yes

 

[nielsgov]

Every song on Amnesiac > House of Cards

Even Pulk? I can't imagine getting any enjoyment out of that noise.

 

[LemonMelon]

Pulk, Hunting Bears > House of Cards is just silly.

 

[LemonMirrorSky]

I enjoy Pulk in a way that I enjoy Treefingers. But I also enjoy House of Cards. So

 

[lazarus]

I think Pulk is really cool to listen to, and it's haunting in a way (specifically the line where he says "...and there are trapdoors...that you can't get back from").

But House Of Cards is beautiful. I think the guitar, drums, bass, Thom's vocal, and the backing vocals all sound spectacular. The song doesn't go anywhere, but so what?

And it's better than Bodysnatchers and Faust ARP. And Jigsaw.

 

[cobl04]

it's a beautiful journey to nowhere.

Kid A (song) does everything Pulk does a million times better.

I like this a lot

I'm currious about this Amok backlash all of a sudden. I don't recall many negative comments when it was released. I liked it then and still like it now.

Here's one: Mrs. Robinson is a terrible song in all of its versions.

 

[LemonMelon]

Awful opinion.

 

[IWasBored]

Here's one: Mrs. Robinson is a terrible song in all of its versions.

 

[cobl04]

Here's one: Mrs. Robinson is a terrible song in all of its versions.

I thought the original was by Roy Orbison, I've only just now discovered it was by Simon and Garfunkel. I don't mind that version. The Lemonheads cover is the worst.

 

[LemonMelon]

I have never liked The Lemonheads cover either. I always listen to It's A Shame About Ray without it.

Bookends is one of the greatest albums ever btw.

 

[cobl04]

Not sure if this is unpopular, but Back in Black is a great album. One of the many I grew up on, and the only AC/DC album I've heard in full. I don't need to hear another, because no one needs more than one AC/DC album because their sound has never changed, and all their big hits are that ubiquitous anyway.

But yeah, Back in Black is great. Hells Bells is a wicked opener, Shoot to Thrill is great, Back in Black too, You Shook Me All Night Long is a classic.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

I think in most places it'd be regarded as a popular opinion, actually. I have no time for that album or them in general though.

 

[Joey788]

Even though I've listened to it three times now, HAIM's album does nothing for me, aside from "The Wire."

 

[bono_212]

 

[cobl04]

The two best songs on Kid A are the title track and Motion Picture Soundtrack.

 

[RoKKeR]

Ha, just saw this bumped and wanted to come in with a Kid A comment. It's just not very good. Only songs I remotely enjoy on it are Optimistic and Treefingers. (which I think is the instrumental one)

I just don't get all of the love for that album.

 

[cobl04]

They are easily the two worst songs.
