Date: October 27th, 2025 6:22 AM Author: chrome soul-stirring parlour he was just too successful in his thuggery. i don't blame him for wanting to keep the Death Row racket alive. they had some real names on there even after dre and snoop started branching out. nobody really predicted the popular turn to ny/east coast in the late 90s and 00s and by all accounts it seemed like it was going to stay as a california thing indefinitely regardless his career as a real banger was over when he got diced by MC hammer's crew of all people. some people say his "career" was over after the infamous bail hearing stroke out but it was done well before that he only seemed to respond in force when a big name went after him and ignored eazy-e/heller, ice cube, hammer, and i think even that one crip guy who was part of WC there were so many vids on Worldstar over the years of him getting slammed by random people in front of his bodyguards and staff that he became more of a joke than anything 2pac era suge went after anyone and everything that so much as looked at him wrong so i guess it's just another case of $hekel$ corrupting the real warrior soul of a man |

Date: October 27th, 2025 6:36 AM Author: chrome soul-stirring parlour There were maybe 3-4 years in 00s pop music where the radio was just dead air Gwen Stefani (highly underrated, at least as a musician and not as an artist, post no doubt) and that was about it. Nickelback 🤢 |
|
Date: October 27th, 2025 6:44 AM Author: Shimmering rehab yeah agreed
2003-2005 is IMO largely just dead air for pop music and same with rock

Date: October 27th, 2025 6:48 AM Author: chrome soul-stirring parlour Room on fire was 02 or 03 Highly Evolved was the same either 02 or 03 I think those were great years for real Alt Rock but it was also when Billboard got into the field bigly and started trying to be the Authority on Life regarding what was and wasn't legible in the field For pop I only remember JT and Stefani really. Maybe a couple of the Latin artists but ~05 was when you really started having the big push for nigger shit all over the air (and that push was relentless) |

otoh you had the killers and franz ferdinand etc blowing up which was good (although towards the later end of the dead zone period i identified) and it's a pretty wild era when freaking modest mouse was able to get widespread name recognition

Date: October 27th, 2025 6:52 AM Author: chrome soul-stirring parlour Hard to call the Strokes or the Vines indie tho. And what really was "indie" in that era, pre-Pitchfork's spotlight? Casablancas had a silver spoon in his mouth as far as industry connections went; I've never really considered the Strokes or on to be indie stuff. "Indie" as we think of it now wasn't really a thing until the OWS era and onward. I think I was first introduced to it as a marketable "genre" in 09 or 10 at a show featuring cage the elephant and against me type stuff (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5790305&forum_id=2:#49378128) |
|
Date: October 27th, 2025 6:54 AM Author: Shimmering rehab i respectfully disagree
if you were reading spin back then they were definitely constructing a concept of 'indie' similar to the 90s branding of 'alternative' |
|
Date: October 27th, 2025 6:55 AM Author: chrome soul-stirring parlour i was not but i believe you. this was just my experience with it. "indie" as a label for a genre only hit a fever pitch around the arcade fire/foster the people era ime. until then it was just "alt rock" or "garage rock" the only spin i had was stuff bought second hand from the blur/oasis era and it was much more dance music focused than anything to do with what we'd later call american indie stuff i guess |

|
Date: October 27th, 2025 7:00 AM Author: chrome soul-stirring parlour I would hazard a guess that that genre as it came to be had to be constructed as an alternative to "alt rock" which was mainly just a pool of fratty bro DMB/ska shit to give that OWS crowd an outlet for their fundamentally volkish frustrations (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5790305&forum_id=2:#49378136) |

I feel like I am missing a ton of shit but this was peak alt rock. There were a ton of talented bands getting financial support from the record labels. Rock was still very mainstream. There was still a lot of CD sales. It was a mini silver age. Maybe for Green Day fans it was a fallow period. St. Anger too pissed a lot of people off. |

Date: October 27th, 2025 9:24 AM Author: chrome soul-stirring parlour Haul to the Thief was seminal and probably peak for underrated Radiohead.

|
Date: October 27th, 2025 9:33 AM Author: chrome soul-stirring parlour Thom Yorke's typical whininess really hit home with the vocal crescendos on Wolf at the Door That whole album is filled with lightly dusted gems For the record I also think In Rainbows was better than even OK Computer and Bodysnatchers off of that is probably my POTUS track by them |
|
Date: October 27th, 2025 9:38 AM Author: Odious clown mother Love In Rainbows but I wouldn't say Bodysnatchers is the best.
Nude, Weird Fishes, House of Cards, Reckoner. Lot of tracks I would put ahead of Bodysnatchers. I feel like it was a guitar riff that never got built out all the way into a full song. |
|
Date: October 27th, 2025 9:41 AM Author: chrome soul-stirring parlour It's euphoric in the way that a lot of crunchy layered MIDI dweeb stuff can be, which is the genre Yorke would've found himself working in if he had started his music career 7-10 years later than he did. It's the most spiritually Radiohead song that doesn't actually sound like Radiohead Reckoner and Weird Fishes are both very good too though |

|
Date: October 27th, 2025 9:50 AM Author: chrome soul-stirring parlour not a bad track but tbh i find OK Computer to be overrated with a few great tracks and Kid A is basically unlistenable vis a vis competing albums from their contemporaries never got "karma police" as _the_ hit off of there in the same way that i never understood "new slang" being the stand-out on the shins debut album (full of far better tracks) |
|
Date: October 27th, 2025 10:19 AM Author: Odious clown mother You're completely wrong about Kid A. And OK Computer as well. Hard to take anything you say seriously. Kid A was an achievement as big as the Pyramids and if you don't get it it's because you're artistically defective. The best Shins song is Caring is Creepy and it's not close. New Slang seems like a watered down pop version of the Same Song. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5790305&forum_id=2:#49378432) |

Date: October 27th, 2025 10:27 AM Author: chrome soul-stirring parlour it's overrated and while i include "temporality" or "context" in album reviews kid a doesn't really stand out even with the adjustment upwards for breaking the ground also outed as a guy who never had a fuzzy moonlit teenage romance https://youtu.be/XlukREZX-9c?si=7Wvsx5J_K8AJZQou

Date: October 27th, 2025 10:37 AM Author: Odious clown mother It's not underrated though it is in fact criminally underrated. Your argument makes no sense. You just don't get it and don't like it which is fine. But saying songs like Everything In Its Right Place doesn't hold up? It's used all the time in trailers. Like it's borderline overused. I hear it all the time in mish mash internet content. The songwriting is top tier it's just over your head. You're trying to shit on something you don't understand. I don't understand free jazz but I don't go around telling people who like it that they're wrong. You're just an asshole and you've overrated your own intelligence.

|
Date: October 27th, 2025 10:49 AM Author: chrome soul-stirring parlour It's a good album. I just don't see it as particularly listenable and it's not something I'd pull off the shelf unless I was giving a music crit course and wanted to talk about Radiohead in particular All of the stuff you are saying about my very germane criticism of the album and your assumptions of my intent in saying as much are completely in your own head. I am not shitting on you for liking it (I think it's a respectable like and I could easily see why someone would consider it a personal favorite) and as I said I think it's pretty good (I think I gave it an 8 in my arbitrary itunes rating notes) albeit not their best work |
|
Date: October 27th, 2025 10:58 AM Author: Odious clown mother But you're just fundamentally wrong. You continuously diss it and admit that you don't think it's good. If anything you are giving it an 8 rating because you think other people like it. You're not rating it based on how you actually feel. By your own admission you think it's like a 4 but you are calling it an 8 because you wouldn't want someone to see your iTunes and think you gave Kid A a lower score. I give Kid A a 10 because I really feel that way. I'm living a life of honesty and truth and beauty and you're cowering to the perception of others even when no one is watching. We are not the same.

i think the popularization and mainstreaming of rap in general meant that the harder core stuff from the west coast just seemed increasingly outdated
i personally prefer west coast rap tho

|
Date: October 27th, 2025 6:28 AM Author: chrome soul-stirring parlour it's more real east coast has better lyricism but all the rawness and heart comes from that squelchy synth 70s derived ronnie hudson/george clinton west coast sound Geto Boys have more raw "feel" in a single track than Bad Boy had in their whole discography imo |
