Oh, I meant Botch :D

hell yeah.
I bummed a cig to Steve when I saw them live before Easter came out.
I told him I'll bum him one if they play Angela's Secret to which he just gave me one of those looks that translate to "duh"
also I just realized my user name on here makes it pretty clear I like this band haha
Sorry bud but those two bands are lame ha.
Magnitude wrote the best 90s/00s metalcore album this year and I think mya have finally capped off that revival trend.
If you like those (The Chariot) bands though you may like Vein and definitely check out narrows. It's a mix of Botch and Unbroken memebrs
I hate Vein, they way they incorporate nu metal stylings and for some reason drum n bass beats into this type of music doesn't jive with my taste buds haha
I dig Turnstile and Code Orange though.
oh also Yossarian don't sleep on Converge either. You Fail Me and Jane Doe are so good.
Weird because some look at Turnstile as like 311 like quality at times but unfortunately the nu metal influence is in right now. Tons of bands pulling it out all over.
Oh here's a liquid hot take: Power Trip is thrash metal for people who don't like metal. All their stuff is really rudimentary to me and they're quite one note. I'd much prefer to listen to a band like Judiciary
yeah the new Northlane has that influence in spades and it sounds so old already, esp for people like me who grew up with Nu Metal
Hip hop died in the early 2000's. Everything since is just pop music. Even shit from Jay-Z and Kanye. Shit, especially shit from them.
Funny story whenever I hear about ETID - the father of the Buckley brothers taught my capstone computer science course in college. This was when they were first getting popular, he mentioned to us that his kids were in a burgeoning band...
Being here at work on a Monday with the shittiest country station ever playing at ear-splitting volume reminds me of the hottest of musical takes, which I will now relate to you:
Country, hip-hop, and pop are now all indistinguishable except for who's singing, and even then not always.

I thought about making this thread, then did a search and found this one. Hope it's okay to revive it.
Mine:
King Crimson - In the Court of the Crimson King is just a so-so album. Maybe the most overrated prog related album?
Coldplay - Mylo Xyloto is an excellent album. Maybe the most underrated pop related album?

Epitaph is one of my favorite songs, period. But other than that and the title track, I don't care. I've largely found much of the following albums to be pretty bland. I know wrath will rain down on me for that one lol.
In pop/rock, no. We go wider into R&B/Jazz and it's a slaughterhouse.
I will say this much, it feels that unless it's a genre where a certain level of chops are the norm it feels like US acts don't even try. I remember reading a Led Zep autobiography and they made it a point to to say they were actively looking for a mindblowing singer. Meanwhile I am reading 'Please Kill Me', and while while punk focused it is still surprising on how often these seminal US bands were like 'Yeah, our drummers brother was at rehearsal one day so we made him the lead singer'.
Bjork was best when she made listenable dance music (Debut, Post). Homogenic is okay, but hard to listen to as an album. Outside of a handful of singles, everything afterwards is deeply uninteresting.
Radiohead's only good albums are Pablo Honey and The Bends. Any cover of Creep that isn't by Prince is terrible.
They are a discount store radiohead wannabe band whose albums since branching out continue to be either lamer or more generic sounding than the last.
mostly jk except I do really think they only have like 1 or 2 actually good albums the rest are just okay at best
Are these actually controversial? Particularly agree with the one about Foo Fighters and the Eagles lol.
The Clash are actually great though. Easily the best band from that era.
I know relevant avatar and everything, but I really don't agree with this at all. In fact, while I obviously love all their records, Kid A to this day remains the single most cohesive album of theirs, the one that feels like a single unit the most.
I...can actually get behind this? For a recent example, Madlib's Sound Ancestors is an exquisite example of this.
DOOM? Freddie Gibbs (especially the ones with the Alchemist and Madlib)? Kendrick Lamar? Run the Jewels?
Just to list some of the more popular ones.
Sorta agreed. This gonna sound pretentious af, but the shift towards playlists and streaming has led to people consuming music not as albums anymore. However, most great artists just don't care. They're still great albums coming out.
Mine:
Prince isn't that great.
Rolling Stones > Beatles.
The Velvet Underground is the single most influential band of all time.
AJR is a half-decent band with some of the most uninteresting lyrics I've ever heard.
Greta Van Fleet could be an okay band if they (1) chose a name that didn't drop out an asshole and (2) tried to get their own music style.
Lars Ulrich could have been a truly fantastic drummer if he had broken through the ceiling that is his own colon.
