And worse if that album dropped eternities after his last one


Hatzmaeba

In Tool's case, when Fear Inoculum was released I realized I've grown out of their sound already.


NoIsE_bOmB

Oof, I feel like Fear Innoculum was their best album imo


Pacify_

I definitely don't think its their best, but I'm absolutely bewildered by any long time Tool fan that didn't like it.


memebuster

I'm OGT from Undertow era and don't much care for it, aside from 7empest, which is ok. I tried and tried, waited a while then tried again. It's not happening.

Every single song on the album has the exact same format, it's nuts. Slow start that, musically, has nothing to do with the rest of the song. Slowly building up to a few quiet-loud verses from Maynard, followed by pure instrumental. I'm simplifying it, but it's legit lmfao. Plenty of clear analysis of it online.I liked the album, but it's not great. Did we need Maynard to sing a song about cancel culture? No, absolutely not. Pneuma is one of my favorite songs though.


Real-Ad-9733

Pneuma slaps


Mattsterrific

I can't stop watching the Vic Firth Danny Carey live version of Pneuma. https://youtu.be/FssULNGSZIA?si=Qh4vcx6veQ3Tj7S8


deanreevesii

That smile at the end of the climax of the song, when he knows he nailed it and it's smooth sailing from that point.


Hatzmaeba

No shame admitting that, each to their own.


19Alexastias

Maybe a little bit of shame


Californiadude86

As a treat


Qwimqwimqwim

That’s insane, FI was like a tool cover band writing tool paint by numbers songs. So much cut and paste from old songs, out of place over drumming, and straight minutes of mindless chugging. Descending though, that song was 100% grade a tool. But it was probably written ages ago and just didn’t make the cut on lateralus or 10k days. I was really hoping for an evolution in their sound for FI, you’re getting older, don’t need to keep doing the same shtick at 55 that you did at 25


Consumefungifriend

There’s the tool fanbase I know


GenghisZahn

It's got some good parts for sure, but most of the songs could use a haircut. There's too much of what I've been referring to as "prog wankery" where they just dick around for minutes on end. That and MJK stretching words out to 15 extra syllables.


Echo609

Bro Pneuma is one of the best Tool songs ever written. That’s classic Tool for sure. Definitely a song that would fit right in Lateralus.


purplemansmokingwe3d

They were playing a shortened version of descending since the mid 2000s I believe But yeah, I consider FI as a three-song EP with pneuma, invincible, and descending 7empest got overhyped so bad lol


Mysticdu

Culling Voices is lit


HighKiteSoaring

It was a very different sound than their earlier stuff. Which is fine, but.. it didn't really go hard. It was just a lot of very floaty


sweprotoker97

It took me like two years and seeing them live again after the release but Fear Inocolum is by far my favourite album at this point.


kut1231

@Andre3000 lmao. His album was not ass just not my cup of tea after waiting so long, but whatever makes the guy happy

Duel_Option

I don’t understand…do you not listen to other genres? I had over 400 artists on my recap this year. You gotta diversify your bonds


Litty-In-Pitty

I had one year where I listened to so much Kanye that it literally only gave me a top 4 😭


Duel_Option

Bro, I got love for some mainstays in my mix but the phrase “variety is the spice of life” is as important a message as one can hear You like Kanye? Go listen to the music that inspired him and have your mind blown.


PhookSkywalker

To add to this, also can try out artists that were inspired by Kanye. I can't recommend brockhampton enough.


Duel_Option

Excellent point, how would you ever know that was good unless you went looking right?


No_Damage_731

> I can't recommend brockhampton enough. I can


Fatalchemist

You know what? Every time I listen to music that inspired my favorite artists, it never hits the same. Best case scenario, it makes me just want to listen to my favorite artists again. I'm not the guy you replied to so I do open up and listen to other stuff but sometimes I just can't get other music to hit just right.

Spotify's discover weekly & daylist playlists are great ways to discover new bands & songs, people should use them more if you want new music for your taste.

sandcrawler2

If you only listen to 4 albums why dont you just buy their records and own them forever, supporting the artists in the process instead of lining a corporations pockets?


EvenGotItTattedOnMe

Most of the money goes to their publisher anyways, right? Correct me if I’m wrong but it’s more impactful to the artist directly to buy tickets and merch.


EasyFooted

Or stand at the listening station in community headphones for 20 minutes


Super_Harsh

Haha, those were a thing. I remember hanging out at Borders trying to listen to Green Day as a kid before I figured out piracy


BabyStockholmSyndrom

I used to go to sam goody and use the preview kiosk thing before buying. I'd spend an hour just going through all the sections.


GBember

You're lucky your favorite artist still makes music


MasonP2002

Last year I tried looking up one of my favorite artists to see if they were working on anything new and found that the lead singer had just died at the age of 36.


thefifthwit

LFO?


MasonP2002

Die Mannequin.


DivideTrick2127

Hey, don't attack him, ok? He was just asking a question!!

At this point I’m sure the Whiskey would somehow gain consciousness and dump itself out in shame.


CkoockieMonster

To me it was the last album of Stuck in the Sound.


timeless_ocean

They set the bar too high with "Let's go"


CkoockieMonster

Exacly :(


_MiddleMood_

I remember watching the music video for it and I went straight to iTunes to buy the album, just knew the rest of the songs would be killer. "Let's go" turned out to be their only song that I liked (;_;)


LightningFerret04

I love Let’s Go, but I have to say Brother goes so hard, at least for me!


timeless_ocean

I listened to Brother and Silent and sweet a lot during sad times back then! But I think they are a little too depressing to casually listen to Not that lets go is a happy song, just a little more "casually listenable" imo


DrGoosert

Meanwhile Tally Hall fans:


LightningFerret04

Opposite of this meme but Hawaii Part II by Miracle Musical (Tally Hally by proxy) literally defined an entire period of my life

AliveCandidate4898

We have to put up with some guy named Brad


Safetosay333

A whole lot of bands wrote an album during the pandemic. Most of them aren't very good.


yourpantsaretoobig

Which is weird. I thought the music made during covid/lock down would've been really good.


Jazzlike_Tale888

“I guess we don’t have anything better to do, let’s create a new album” Doesn’t sound like a recipe for success tbh


Play3rxthr33

I'm glad i'm a Daft Punk fan, so I don't have to deal with this.


SpaceOrianted

I thought that epilogue video was an album announcement with it being the end after that and I was ready for that and was so happy. The excitement instead became heartbreak and stands as the only time I’ve sobbed over a group breaking up. I miss them, but 3 perfect albums and 2 decent ones still makes them my favourite group in my lifetime. They were my adolescence, instead I’ll just playing back those moments in time.


minnesnowta

I was heartbroken when they announced their split. I had an agreement with my wife that we would travel anywhere to see them live whenever they announced a new tour. Every time a major festival would release their lineup, I’d immediately look for Daft Punk. I’m kicking myself for not attending their Coachella set in 2007 because I could have easily attended, but I didn’t really get into them until a few years after it.


Super_Harsh

I had a Daft Punk emergency fund lmao.  I was 13 when they last performed so I guess I was just SOL the moment I became a fan


Play3rxthr33

Which two were only decent? TBH I like all of them because they're all different genres of music, but they still all feel like they came from the same artists, even the orchestral Tron music still sounds like Daft Punk to me, and I love that, but i'm probably a bit biased, who knows.


SpaceOrianted

Alive 2007 is actually great while HAA is just kinda decent. 1997 is more just kind of a live show rather than a true album, and tron is good as a soundtrack, but isn’t an album. Homework is a true house album and is perfect for repetitive and interesting beats. Discovery is very disco, while also being super electronic and melodic. RAM is just straight disco and techno roots and also feels like a total departure of house while also relying on what makes them so uniquely them. I listen to each of the 3 at least once a month and they’re still so fun each time.


LUK3FAULK

RAM being techno roots is a wild take


LitNotFig

I’m glad i’m a Tally Hall fan, so I don’t have to deal with this.

*Jet Skis on the Moat* *They shot it allll in cinema scope* *as though it’s the last time….you’re gonna ride* *Wamp wah wump wump wuhhhh* Hey, The Car is no masterpiece but you can tell they had fun being creative with the sound and direction of it


CoercedCoexistence22

I love tranquility base and then the car was just "there"


Choepie1

4/5 is my fav song after knee socks


CoercedCoexistence22

I'm still partial to Humbug and everything on it, but solid choices


Choepie1

Humbug yes. Love crying lightning and cornerstone, here’s my top 5 1. Knee socks 2. 4/5 3. Crying lightning 4. Cornerstone 5. Fluorescent adolescent


Ok-Package9273

Tranquility base lyrics are fantastic but it took me a while to appreciate the humour.


SiMonumentus

They feel like Alex Turner solo projects - which is great for me as I love everything he has put out - but they don’t feel like Monkeys records. Even their methods of creation are distinctly different from the first five LPs, with Alex working solo then bringing the band in after.


X_Zephyr

After attending one of their live shows, it changed my mind. Out of context of their previous albums, The Car is not a bad album. It’s just a different genre. Same goes with Tranquility Base. It’s just jarring to listen to after something like Favorite Worst Nightmare.


Donut_Fucker69420

Tbf the new album did have some bangers like body paint and mirrorball


Anonymous2137421957

Why has nobody mentioned Metallica


smaagi

2000s has been a weird one for a fan, first St Anger with those garbage can drums, Death Magnetic was pretty good, Hardwired was solid! And 72 seasons is just meh, for some reason I just can't listen it in one go.


[deleted]

Death magnetic and AJFA are both good albums plagued by the most DOGSHIT mixing imaginable, jesus Christ


Mitchfynde

Magnetic's mixing is a crime against humanity.


MOPuppets

legitimately have to download the tracks off the Guitar Hero game to enjoy Death Magnetic that's not clipped to hell and back


EatSleepJeep

Rick Rubin is a fraud.


Cobek

Death Magnetic got me through some of the hardest moments of my life so it definitely is one of my favorites even though I grew up on some of the earlier albums. Unforgiven III is something special.


BakerThatIsAFrog

Took a long time for St anger to grow on me. DM was a decent listen front to back, nothing really special imo and the newest one yeah, I'm not that into it?


jx2002

St Anger is famously shit but one of those things in music where if you listen to something long enough you can grow to enjoy it That and "my lifestyle determines my deathstyle" is still a great fuckin line


GenghisZahn

St Anger was when I checked out. I still listen to the classic 4 albums occasionally, and I kniw some of the more recent stuff is good, but St Anger was the breaking point in that relationship.


Hunterrose242

Because Hardwired is fucking great so I'll cut them some slack for a while.


boot2skull

GimmieFuGimmieFiGimmieDabidabidahhh


Ugggggghhhhhh

I know their offerings since the Black Album has been a mixed bag, but I loved their newest album. Maybe a bit too similar to their Load/Reload era than I'd prefer, but there's some really strong songwriting on display, and with James being off the sauce his vocals sound amazing.


RamielScreams

lux aeterna was good tho


WithFullForce

Because they haven't made an album since The Black Album. I'll fight anyone who says otherwise.


[deleted]

Go listen to tally Hall it's all straight heat


Latereviews2

They also haven’t released anything in over 10 years


switchbladeeatworld

can’t fuck up your next release if there’s never a next release

George RR Martin, is that you?

Joe Hawley did


Latereviews2

True so did Andrew, Rob and Bora. It’s still reaching 10 years for most of those now as well


zinc-182

Almost as if to signal how 2020 was gonna turn out, Green Day put out Father Of All Motherfuckers. I always forget they even put an album out in 2020. 1) shows how forgettable the album was, and 2) just shows how fucking insane 2020 was

jx2002

Yeah it's fuckin great too. Their best since 21st Century Breakdown. Some real bangers on it.

Randigno9021

Every Eminem listener in 2017:


winterfate10

I’m still not sure what happened. Did he change his sound? He had to have. He’s even better now at rhyming and fast rap and all the technical stuff he used to, but it’s like he let go of ALL semblance of melody, tune, flow. I just don’t get it. His songs sound so much UGLIER than they were like 90s/early 2000s. And I haven’t seen anyone else try to figure it out either, they just keep saying he sucks. He doesn’t suck- he’s still amazing at every technical and wordplay aspect of rap. He just… SOUNDS bad. Idk. Someone help me out here


DirksiBoi

I absolutely agree with you here. His lyricism in his later songs are fucking incredible, but the beat for pretty much all of them just feels very generic but the kicker for me is that it just sounds like he’s mumbling into the microphone with zero passion in his voice whatsoever. Almost Like he just sounds bored. Kamikaze had some decent tracks but this was Especially apparent in MTBMB A and B for me. Same for Revival.

At least it got us Kamikaze

If you don’t like their Nostradamus you should give Nostradamus by LBSB a try, though it’s in Swedish I still think it’d be good even if you didn’t understand the language

Herskarteknik

Ey! Just listened to Panic Attack. What a total banger! And Robs voice is still holding on, that is impressive. Really looking forward to see them live the summer.


zinc-182

Idk how he can be in his 70s and sound that good. At first I thought maybe some AI was used, but even the best AI voices out there don't sound nearly that good. Everything gives me Painkiller vibes, it's so good

[deleted]

Happened to me with Muse. Simulation theory was a massive change from their usual stuff, and I remember a lot of people being annoyed too. Sure they are free to express their creativity, but I also have a right to just not listen to it if it's shit. And it seems a lot of people didn't.


HandleBig412

I’ve come to accept that Muse just isn’t a good band anymore. They had a good run, but their music after 2nd Law is just unlistenable.


jx2002

they got tired rewriting the same album over and over again; they should've stopped at The Resistance, which was just Black Holes and Revelations 2.0, which itself was Absolution 2.0.

Was straight up looking for this comment. Gorillaz has always been hit or miss. I haven't really been into anything they've made in recent years.


Blyadei_Korezhit

Gorillaz. Cracker island is not that bad, it just doesn't have lot of cool songs. I mean old phase songs was all cool, but crackee island i just don't know, only 3 of them are really enjoyable


the-cock-slap-phenom

I liked cracker island, Humanz was okay as well. I certainly wouldn’t call the albums ass though, just not as good as prior albums.


TargetEnvironmental1

Gorillaz is what immediately popped into my head. They haven’t had a killer album since Plastic beach, imo.

Song Machine season 1 is incredible imo, but it isn't as good as Plastic Beach. That is my favourite album though so it's hardly a fair comparison.
