SciFiDownBeat posted:I should give these a re-listen. Are they narrative in a general emotional sense or in an actual "here's a fictional character a, x happens then y happens which leads to a doing z" kind of way e.g. The Wall Illinois could be seen as a collection of thematically related short stories all taking place in that state. So, in effect, each song is a character's complete story. The Suburbs is more structured towards a through narrative, but Arcade Fire is always a little abstract no matter what they're doing. The only ones from my list that follow character(s) through multiple songs are Radical Face's The Family Tree, Zappa's Joe's Garage, and Beulah's Yoko, which is about a band breaking up after their last tour (which Beulah actually did, after touring for that album) funkybottoms posted:Michigan and Illinois(e) are autobiographical Haha, no offense, but no they aren't. Age of ADZ and Carrie & Lowell are, though. Age of ADZ is about Stevens dying from a rare neurological disease. The orchestral music is his body and mind and the electronic music is the disease killing him. It's neat.

The Flaming Lips - Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots Coheed and Cambria - all of them, but Second Stage Turbine Blade is where I like them best. Not a fan of their hair metal/prog-influenced stuff Both very obviously narratives following a character

Franchescanado posted:Haha, no offense, but no they aren't. i always assumed that he dropped the fifty states thing because he didn't have enough of his own poo poo to talk about, but it obviously wasn't his own poo poo in the first place; i'll be darned. from wikipedia: "Before creating the album, Stevens read literature by Illinois authors Saul Bellow and Carl Sandburg, and studied immigration records and history books for the state—he made the deliberate decision to avoid current events and focused on historical themes. He also took trips through several locations in Illinois and asked friends and members of Internet chat rooms for anecdotes about their experiences in the state... Stevens has since not released another album focused on a state, saying in a November 2009 interview with Paste that "the whole premise was such a joke," and telling Andrew Purcell of The Guardian in October 2009 "I have no qualms about admitting [the fifty states project] was a promotional gimmick.""

Not a fan of their hair metal/prog-influenced stuff "The Color Before the Sun" is not related to their "Amory Wars" story, and "Vaxis – Act I: The Unheavenly Creatures" might be a restart/reboot/new characters. I don't follow them that closely to know about that last album. Also, the first album is a bit rough. "Good Apollo, I'm Burning Star IV, Volume One: From Fear Through the Eyes of Madness" is my favorite, for a mouthful of an album title.

vektor's "terminal redux" is a concept album but it's not in the style you're looking for. it tears rear end all over this earth though so if you like this song maybe give the whole thing a whirl https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2vEWDRs9ZJ8

hey thread recently i've been listening to mind.in.a.box and like about 40% of it. My favourite songs are probably Unknown and Unforgiving World both of which, I think I'm mostly enamoured with the auto-tune/vocoder thing they have going on. I've tried looking at similarly-tagged artists but they all seem to lean a bit too heavily in the shouting german man direction. Does anything else sound like this?

I have a terrible knowledge of hip hop/rap and am very picky but I'd like to explore it more. I really like $uicideboy$ so I guess I'm looking for more stuff like that: dark, agressive, almost punk-ey but also listenable and has elements of melody. Stuff like Death Grips I find is too "electronic" for my tastes, I'd still like it to be rooted in hip hop. I realize this is kinda broad so just throw anything interesting at me.

I am surprised you didn't find Denzel Curry to have enough aggression, that's one of the things he is known for. Check out this cover he did of Rage Against the Machine's "Bulls on Parade". When you say edge and aggression, what specifically are you referring to? The production or the vocals? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZY4ywyFXdik If you dig Three 6 Mafia, maybe check out UGK.

Yeah I dug a little deeper into Juicy J and I like it but for some reason it's not quite hitting the spot. I think it might definitely be a production thing, I feel like when I listen to Denzel Curry even if his songs are aggressive the production is very high-end and I get less of that "underground" style production. I think another aspect is the vocals sometimes distorting or being harsh or shouted, or use of like vocal fry and stuff. I did enjoy Denzel's cover of RATM, but I have a hard time getting into his rap stuff. Here's another song/artist I like that has a lot of the same elements: Aggressive, harsh vocals with a less "produced" sound https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ALxr1dTz68

Since this is kindof on the topic, are there any recommendations for rap that isn't, for the lack of a better term, focused on toxic masculinity? That is to say, the lyrics don't talk about how they're the best rapper, how they're going to kick the rear end of people, etc. I like stuff like Aesop Rock and Del The Funky Homosapien, but couldn't get into Run the Jewels since the lyrics were such a turnoff for me. And it's a genre I have so little of to even know where else to go.

Not to stereotype white rappers but pretty much any white dude on Rhymesayers fits the bill (except Brother Ali, who is very much a battle rapper). I also get why RTJ bothers you but El-P’s solo career isn’t really like that lyrically. Most of these rappers and groups can be braggadocios but not as aggressively so. They’re all pretty highly respected as well: Public Enemy OutKast Kendrick Lamar A Tribe Called Quest De La Soul Earl Sweatshirt The Pharcyde Jurassic 5 Blackalicious Cage MF DOOM will certainly do what you’re bothered by but in the style of a comic book supervillain.

I'll try that list, although I hear "Hey Yeah" on the radio the other day and just laughed, I don't think I could take him seriously anymore. Too many high school memories. I should also add that I'm really into P.O.S. and I'm trying to listen to a bit of everyone from Doomtree, but haven't started that yet. EDIT: Ah, I tried MR Doom before, but as Danger Doom. I was immediately turned off by the Adult Swim tie-in nature of it, and never tried to seek out any more from them. IUG fucked around with this message at 14:56 on Mar 19, 2019 |

OutKast is a duo—one of the greatest of all time in fact—and Hey Ya sounds nothing like the rest of their catalog. Listen to Aquemini or Stankonia. Off the top of my head Chance the Rapper might also interest you. There are also plenty of female rappers like Noname, Rapsody, Missy Elliott, Lauryn Hill...

I'd like to add Tierra Whack to that list. Chance the Rapper's a good suggestion. Kid Cudi's first album is still good. Wale's cool too. Binary Star is a great duo, as well.

And it's a genre I have so little of to even know where else to go. Here is a list to get you started. Some of it is braggadocious, but you will be hard pressed to find any classic hip-hop that doesn't have at least some of that. Rap was very competitive back in the day (still is to some degree) and that's why you hear a lot of that "i'm the best on the mic" type lyrics. But these artists definitely have diverse content: Deltron 3030 (Del the Funky Homosapien and Dan the Automator) Hieroglyphics Souls of Mischief De La Soul A Tribe Called Quest Masta Ace (new album A Breukelen Story is incredible) The Fugees The Pharcyde Locksmith (check out his project with Apollo Brown) Diamond District (In the Ruff album) Little Brother (any of their albums) If you have any questions, definitely let me know. Hip-hop is by far my favorite genre and I am always down to talk about it and share recommendations.

If you're specifically interested in the song tradition Clancy Brothers and Planxty and their members' (particularly Christy Moore's) solo records are an obvious way to go. Other major Irish folk bands like Chieftains and Bothy Band focus on the instrumental jig tradition which is obviously quite different BVSC have almost nothing to do with "latin american folk" as if such a thing existed so I don't really know what to answer

If you really dig those then there's a really huge world of afro-cuban jazz for you to dig into, with interesting recordings stretching back to the 1920s
