What albums do yall listen to from beginning to end? There are plenty of artists and bands that I like with great songs but sometimes the album has filler in between the main tracks. Which albums do you feel like have little to no filler? I’d put up Chief Keef’s Finally Rich (debut album) Licensed To Ill by the Beastie Boys, maybe Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band by Beatles, Curtis (1970) by Curtis Mayfield and Cuba Libre by Carlos Puebla. What are your favorites?

    No Gods / No Managers by Choking Victim is all bangers. The songs Money, Fuck America, and Praise the Sinners all sample Parenti speeches lol should definitely give it a listen all their stuff is great. Another ska-punk album I love is the self-titled Operation Ivy.

    Warlord by Yung Lean and Eversince by Bladee are my favorite albums though.

      Hell yeah, those ska-punk albums are great. I always find it funny that the first time I ever heard parenti was in a choking victim album.

        I don’t think it’s correct to call them a fascist band.

        They disbanded in 98 and the allegations against Stza are from the 2010s, the fact that a single member became a POS over a decade later doesn’t determine what the band is a whole.

        Idk, I fell that saying that is like saying that “I Want To Hold Your Hand” is leftist only because John Lennon became one years latter.

          Its pretty ironic that John Lennon had a line in the song”Revolution” that goes “But if you go carrying pictures of Chairman Mao, you ain’t gonna make it with anyone anyhow” and later on John Lennon became a supporter of Mao. He said that Mao was doing a lot of spectacular work in China and making it more equal and that he regretted the line in the song. Kinda sucks tho bc there are a lot of old people that uphold that line like its a bible verse

          the band as a whole more or less never existed, they where active for a single day then broke up lol, based on that though I think its fair to disavow the ‘band’ because they themselves have distanced themselfs from Stza

          I do agree with your wider points and if you still enjoy them thats fine, I really like the albums they put out too but it can be hard to seperate the art from the artist for me personally.

    Lately I’ve been really into PetroDragonic Apocalypse; or, Dawn of Eternal Night: An Annihilation of Planet Earth and the Beginning of Merciless Damnation and Fishing for Fishies by King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard. I have listened both like more than 30 times already.

    Any album by La Dispute’s Rooms of the House on back will pretty much never get a skip from me. Anti-Flag is also essentially my living anthem in band form.

        Absolutely. It’s my go-to protest punk band. I was watching some live footage and I really wanna see them perform at some point.

        Every time I listen to them, it makes me want to write poetry and scream lol. I do need to give Panorama another listen tho.

          also also: I really recommend listening to Panorama with headphones or earbuds if you have them. A big criticism is that the mixing is shit and you can barely hear the vocals, but using my raycons that was rendered a complete non-issue.

            I might do the headphone treatment today. I was listening to it yesterday in the car just because and my car speakers leave a lot to be desired.

            I haven’t creatively written in a long time but I can sub to that comm. I wanna start writing light theory related stuff right now but don’t have the time. Maybe fiction short stories with socialist overtones might be fun.

          Same. I use to write poetry prolifically, working on starting that again. Also working on making music – I love to scream!

          There’s a creative writing community here if you ever feel inclined to share!

    I’ve been listening to 2000s electronic lately, mostly Boards of Canada’s “Geogaddi” and “Campfire Headphase” and sometimes The Unicorns’ “Who Will Cut Our Hair”

    Edit: I don’t know how I forgot this, but “The Fire This Time” is an audio documentary about the us intervention in the Middle East that fans of IDM should definitely listen to.

    its quickly becoming a favorite, but king gizzard’s new album petrodragonic apocalypse definitely ranks up there. overall favorite albums are probably human by death, shed by title fight, or fear of music by talking heads. all of kraftwerk’s albums are also pretty close to favorites, especially “the mix”, a re-recording of all their hits where they somehow take their masterpieces and make them even better. i own the mix on tape and listen to it almost every day lol

    Slowdive self-titled is perfect. Isaiah Rashad’s Cilvia Demo. OM’s Conference of the Birds.

    I can sing every word of Songs: Ohia - Magnolia Electric Company. If you think you’re not into country, give that album a listen.

      Ooh the 36 Chambers is insanely good. Like for a group with that many people, I think they really made it work giving each one their style of flow and personality. Not easy to accomplish bc they had like 7-8 people I think. Protect Ya Neck will ALWAYS be a legendary track, the energy of that song is just incredible, great music to exercise to also

    Achievement by PilotRedSun

    His music channel though is PilotRedSky so it’s interesting that he put Achievement on his animation channel. He’s more active musically nowadays.
