Hot Music Takes?

[Deleted member 257420]

I want to hear your controversial takes regarding music, any music or artist or whatever; let your feelings fly!

I’ll start; I think Madvillainy is MF DOOM’s most generic/bland album, and I don't see how it’s considered one of the best in hip-hop when Mmm…food exists.

Also, Alestorm is unironically good.

 

[No-Bo-Dy]

Well Pop music is just pure trash designed to be catchy to kind of in away brainwash you to like it.

Hatsune miku is not music it is just a computer voice with 0 soul and feelings behind it and utterly sad and empty and I will never understand it´s popularity.

 

[Tonberry]

Crush 40 (Those hacks who made the old Sonic Adventure music) is utter abysmal dogshit. If you like them, odds are they're the only rock "band" you've ever heard.
(I had written something way more jokingly inflammatory initially, but I don't want people to actually feel bad, I just had to get it out)

 

[No-Bo-Dy]

Modern DJ's just push buttons.

Ironically, my music hot take is that Vocaloid tends to be more soulful then any other form of pop music due to largely being made by indie artists, but to each there own.

Sugar Ray "Lemonade and Brownies." (I'd say the cover is a little too NFSW. You'll have to google it.)

I can listen to that album years later and still absolutely love it!

Alright gamers, here's a bunch of rapid-fire takes because I have a LOT.
Remember that this is a 'Hot Takes' thread, so these are supposed to sound irreverent, so try not to feel to personally targeted by these, as they're general opinions I have, not aimed at any one individual's taste <3

• East Coast hiphop >>>>>>>> West Coast hiphop
• People singling out any one musical genre they dislike as "not real music" is a gigantic red flag. You're not supposed to get/like everything
• Power metal is almost universally garbage, except for Blind Guardian, who are one of the greatest metal acts of all time, due to their virtuosity and prog influences
• Ed Sheeran's first album (+) is a genuinely great album, but he plummeted INSTANTLY afterwards and turned into another vapid megastar faster than they built Rome
• Gorillaz' first album is their best one
• 'Bohemian Rhapsody' isn't Queen's best song. It's not even their best prog song (That would be 'The Prophet's Song, on both points). BR is important because they knew to release it as a single, but other than that it's not a particularly "out there" Queen song. It's just their "biggest" song.
• 'Suffer' is Bad Religion's only good album, but it's a 10/10 album
• The same goes for 'Operation Mindcrime'
• Rush and Queen, two bands accused of copying Led Zepellin early on, were always better than Led Zeppelin
• "Not getting" jazz is part of the appeal
• Modern classical music focuses too much on the piano (which is logical since most composers are pianists), give me some HORNS, man!
• "Nu-metal" music like Disturbed and Korn is embarrassing
• That being said, there's literally nothing wrong with elevating music that resonated with you when you were younger, because so much of music is emotion, and having "irrational" opinions on it is good because it prevents you from snobbifying completely
• The Beatles are exactly as "rated" as they deserve to be (which as we all know is very highly)
• Black Metal is better without nazis. In fact, everything is.
• Metallica sucks forever and all the other "Big Four" thrash bands are better (only Anthrax are actually good though)
• A big part of the appeal of heavy metal are the theatrics themselves. It's supposed to be fun and not take itself too seriously
• Primus sucks
• The American soundtrack for Sonic CD is better than the Japanese one
• Ska should come back...
• Eurovision is GOATed

I’ll start; I think Madvillainy is MF DOOM’s most generic/bland album, and I don't see how it’s considered one of the best in hip-hop when Mmm…food exists.

It's been a good long while, but I think I agree.

Yes, Gorillaz first album is their best album. I'm not alone

I also like their b-sides rarity album, especially for the "Soulchild Remix 0f 19-2000".
It seems Noodle as a second singer went bye-bye after their first album:
"Gives me conniptions."

 

[mrmoe273]

you can be a fan of a band even if you only listen to one album, one song, whatever, don't need to know every inch of a band to be a fan

TOTALLY. I've probably listened to the Phi Life Cypher mix of Clint Eastwood more than the original at this point.

 

[Aisf]

Country music is complete garbage. I hate country music. I don't care if it's catchy. I think it's surf music but bad. It's just songs about big guys liking woman, liking trucks, and drinking alcohol. Country music is garbage.

While I wouldn't call them shit, they're definitely overrated as hell. Then again what do you expect from Sonic Adventure fanboys? Especially since there are much better Sonic soundtracks like Sonic R.

 

[Newk]

i almost wanna smack people that think that music made with electronics and computers has ¨no soul¨.
On the radio I heard more noise posing as music of acoustic guitar strumming with someone wail over like a horny teenage monkey that made me painfully cringe so much more then some cheap cheesy eurodance ever could accomplish.

 

[Vetusomaru]

Dunno if it counts as controversial opinion but everyone who praises Mega Drive ear rape soundtracks like Street of Rage 3 one and everyone who defends Mega Drive's sound must have serious problem with their ears.

My jimmies get particularly rustled when people try to talk about them as something other than the soundtrack to a 20+ year old video game.
Thankfully it's only happened in actual real life once (which is still one time too many for me to not file twelve restraining orders).

Wait! You defend electronic music while at the same time you mock Eurodance music that is electronic?

Fair, I think calling any genre ‘lacking soul’ is strange in of itself because that’s such a weird claim.

There is a reason said band keep milking themselves as "the band behind Sonic Adventure soundtrack" and act like greedy bastards over "their music" being used for Sonic movie 3. Why Sega mostly works with stupid people when it comes to Sonic franchise?

I feel the same over all these schizos who cry like bitches about Ai art while the art they make and shill for is anything but soulful, it's lazy-made as hell and they also use computer to make them. And many of them don't even draw with pencil on paper.

Dance music is not music, DJ aren't musicians.
The Beatles are overrated.
'70 music is 80% garbage, '80 is probably even worse (mainstream music).
Techno is trash and garbage, it should not exist. If you listen to that £$%& you don't undestand music.

'Suffer' is Bad Religion's only good album, but it's a 10/10 album

Now I'm interested in knowing what you do consider music?

Regarding your quote; I think it's their definitive album. Everything before sounds rough and unfinished by comparison, and everything after it sounds derivative and weaker.
