>ITT: Bands that should never regroup or release another album ever again.
MBV should've never regroup or released that fucking abomination of an album.They're just tarnishing their legacy.Same with GY!BE and 'Allelujah! Don't Bend! Ascend!, same with Radiohead and The King of Limbs, just disband already, or stop making albums, you've released enough of good material already and you're not capable of making good music anymore, it's time to quit.Boris also. Continue touring, but stop releasing mediocre or worse than mediocre shit.
>>37729236i think i'd bone wata, she's so tiny
>>37729146hah, too bad. david pajo said that they might "surprise fans" this year
Deerhunter
Pavement
>>37729300>implying they aren't still greatretard
Talk Talk and Fugazi
>>37729378Monomania was painfully mediocre.
>>37729236I disagree so hardSo much edgeADBA was good and mbv was decent
>>37729426umm well pitchfork doesn't agree with you :)
genesis, the real version
>>37729378>Deerhunter>great
>>37729426>band releases one album that you think is mediocre>OH MY GOD STOP RELEASING TERRIBLE MUSIC OH GOD
Fuck you a slint reunion would be awesome.
Viper the RapperInterpolArcade FireThe Antlers (they should have just stopped after the legendary Hospice)
>>37729485might actually happen, toohttp://pitchfork.com/news/48555-echo-chamber-david-pajo-on-the-return-of-slint/
>>37729236Seriously mbv was an abomination? and ADBA tarnished GY!BE legacy? Why are you so harsh about music?
have a nice lifeavey tare/ancoasap rockyit sucks when your first album is also your best album huh :)alsonmhthe national (last album was unneeded)death grips (i dont feel like they have more to show or come up with something new)arcade firegalaxie 500the avalanches
they had 3 perfect records
>>37729236nigga u mad as hell
>>37729583i'd wear something like that
...And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead - only one good album lel
>>37729691it's a great shirt, they made it from a very nice, light and stretchy material that makes it super comfy and I've even met GY!BE fans from it.
>>37729670Raw Power, Fun House and Iggy's The Idiot were the only good things related to The Stooges.
>>37729746where can i get it? do i have to buy the album?
>>37729236I've never listened to Boris, but the other 3 released perfectly fine albums, although TKOL is a bit spotty for its place in RH's discography. Kind of hard to follow up In Rainbows, though. Allelujah and m b v are great.
The Seer was garbage and fucking boring.>b-but MUH EPIK MONOLITHIC DRONING AND TEXTURES OF NOISE LE GREAT WALLS OF SOUND SO IMMERSED IN IT IF YOU FIND IT BORING YOUR A PLEB XDKill yourselves.
>>37729705They could be worse. Way worse. At least they're not total shit.
>>37729438No they weren't. Those were fucking awful albums, should've just remained quiet about releasing new material and never released anything new again. Instead we got shit albums in otherwise their perfect discographies.
>>37729832I finally got around to it recently. I thought I was going to hate it after how dreadfully boring My Father was, but I found The Seer to be on par with Soundtracks. Shit was a lot better than I expected it to be.
>>37729870Agreed, TMV should have never happened.
>>37729832I liked The Seer, it wasn't perfect or anything, it was only about a 6.5/10 for me. But I liked how Michael Gira was able to combine his more matured song writing techniques from his folk-rock oriented side projects with Swans' reputation for noisy soundscapes.Also, you don't have to be a dick about it.
I really hate to say it, but probably the Chili Peppers.
The Mars Volta
>>37729873oh shut up, they were okay>>37729832fuck you, the seer as great.>>37729908TMV are fantastic>>37729937nah. noctourniquet was ace. they could have put out some more quality material (plus more el groupo nueve)
>Faith No More
>>37729873Why were they awful? In m b v's case, they started playing around with the Loveless sound. Loveless was all about the sound, but the songs themselves weren't that adventurous for the most part. They had a chance to improve on that, and I think they did. It certainly had more variety, which I think was an appropriate way to follow up Loveless. As for ADBA, the short, droney songs were okay, but the long compositions were excellent; We Drift Like Worried Fire in particular was amazing.
You guys are retarded."Legacies" don't mean shit. Releasing a bad album now doesn't make me enjoy previous work less. I wish every single broken up band would make new music. Why? Because at best, we get good music by bands we like. At worst? It's bad and we just go back listening to their old stuff which is unchanged.
Not completely relevant, because they're still releasing albums, but Mercury Rev needs to stop making albums. They sound so boring now, it's almost unreal. All is Dream was terrible, and it's just been downhill from there, you can't even call them psychedelic rock anymore. It sucks because they used to sound so unique, but now they make some of the most snooze-inducing alt rock in existence.
The fact that the "Pixies" are back together without Kim Deal is fucking retarded.
>>37729885>I found The Seer to be on par with SoundtracksNo.
>>37729870I'd be okay with infinite ATDI regroupings
I don't want to say it, but The Cure. I like most of their post-Disintegration material, even their self-titled, but 4:13 Dream might be a sign to pack it up.
>>37730068Okay.
>>37729966>noctourniquet>not the album where the guy injects rat poison and morphine into himself and is dying
>>37730056They aren't going to release anything tho
Has a band ever reformed and made an album better/up to par with their pre-break up work?
>>37730123Deloused was just okay.
>>37729981not that guy but droney songs were unnecessary imo, it would have been a great EP without them, but it seems like they wanted to make an album even though they didnt have enough material so they just came up with random shit
>>37730124They just released a new single and a few sources have confirmed it's going to be from their new album.That's while Deal left, she didn't think they should make a new album
>>37730135I personally think that m b v is better than anything that isn't Loveless, but that's just me.
>>37730030isnt yerself is steam their only good release anyway :Safter that vocalist left them they turned to shit
>>37730123theyre both good tmv is one of my favorite bands broe>>37730144wrong
>>37730135Dinosaur Jr.
>>37730056what the fuck no way?
>>37730179bocces too
>>37730195http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lGdSYPh5_BIjust released their first song since bam thowk yesterday
>>37729236so mad lel
>>37730166really? i read that they weren't going to do shit. well fuck.>>37730179if you're a nigga maybe. deserter's songs is the superior album
>>37730179Boces was still with Baker, but I still think that their albums up to Deserter's Songs were pretty average. Not as terrible as the shit they make now, at least.
>>37730087http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=32udqal_lyQImagine if The Cure sounded like this today.
>>37729146they look so young, I thought it was the cast of stand by me at first.
>>37729236MBV are whatever. No one gives a shit.
ITT: Arguing semantics.Stop.
>>37729236>all that edge
>>37729426It was great, you probably are a new fan.
>>37729572Cool, I'd love to see Slint. Also, did anyone catch ATD-I on their recent tour?
>>37730192top pleb
>>37730279I kind of like the discussions in this thread. Thanks for your two pennies, tho.
>>37729776fuck the first stooges album was great!
>>37730295The best songs on Farm/Beyond/Sky combined is a 10.0 album, plebby
>>37730242baker was like crazy and unstable isnt that why her left right?
>>37729832Agree, trying to make rock into Jazz is beyond gay.
The Dismemberment Planoh waitfuck
>>37729870Agree, could've been on of the greats. Love them.
>>37730351>trying to make rock into Jazz is beyond gay
>>37730333Sorry, but nothing will ever top You're Living All Over Me :)
>>37730346Yeah, the guy was fucking insane and the rest of Mercury Rev was terrified of him. Still, the crazy ones always seem to make the best music.
>>37730270MBV releasing a follow-up to Loveless kind of was a big deal, actually. The fact that the band didn't treat it like a big deal probably diminished its impact, but if you think about it that's probably the best thing they could've done. They actually didn't set out for a Loveless 2, instead opting to release an album they probably would've released in 1993. I respect them for that.
>>37730384YLAOM has 5 amazing songs, but the rest of the album isnt that goodso its really a god-tier EP if u ask me
>>37730407I just don't give a shit about that band.
>>37729400agree>>37729832pff you'd change your opinion if you saw them live
The Smiths
System of a Down.
>>37729519I really hope that Interpol makes a "back to their roots" album and gets rid of the strings and horn sections, it would probably be pretty good.
>>37730247If The Cure went full-on electronic with Disintegration-esque riffs on top of that...that could be interesting. That could be really good.
IsisThey released four great albums in a row, their sound evolved over the years, and I'm glad they knew when to call it quits. Shame Neurosis are still existing and putting out mediocre releases.
>>37730478Johnny marr should tour with modest mouse again
>>37730388Also, on a slightly unrelated note, Baker on stage was fucking hilarious.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YPQp_7U_4KQ&feature=related
>>37730388Word, he was the Syd Barrett of Mercury Rev.
>>37730447Then that's just you. Don't say "no one" gives a shit about them. Makes you sound self-important.
>>37730500you mean five great albums in a row. celestial is dope as fuckyeah i'm glad they didn't keep going. it's pretty laudable
>>37729776>not including their debut album
Is Baker fat now or he was always?
>>37729236praparat was p good, i have it on vinyl
>>37730439Don't forget Poledo, the worst piece of shit ever.I hate it when they do something like that, like Sonic Youth with Providence, fucking filler garbage.
>>37730610he was always fat
Journey
>>37730485They lost Carlos. They will never be as good. Bands fuck up their chemistry in ways they don't even think exist when they switch members. The think a bass player is replaceable or a better drummer can be brought in, but they can never achieve the same chemistry.
>>37730627lel
>>37730709Nah, they got that Mexican now, they doin aight.
King CrimsonHoly fuck, just get a heart attack and die already Robert Fripp, no one is interested in your tedious, unimaginative and uncreative progressive rock wankfest anymore.
>>37730627Not as good as Flood and Feedbacker :(I feel like they'll never be able to repeat something like that.
>>37730727Carlos hates to play the bass. ;_;
>>37730795Speak for Yourself. I thought Power to Believe was pretty good. And I caught them live 2001 ConstruKtion of Light tour.They were fucking incredible.
>>37730867based over 30 years old bro
brian enopls stop
>>37729461this. a lot of people in here guilty of this mindset
>>37729873*insert that one Big Lebowski quote here*
>>37730144I love it. Seriously though, shut the fuck up. Televators starting.
Hey guys whats going on in here
>>37729236lol get outall of the bands you listed are doing just fine if not better>>377298322deep4u>>37730500>fourbut yeah this 100%one of the reasons they cited for disbanding was that they'd seen "too many other" bands continue past their prime. neurosis immediately came to mind
>>37729870>tfw you will never be capable of having an afro
>>37731289>tfw you will never be in a post-hardcore band
>>37730352I'm really hopeful about Uncanny Valley
>>37730352nuh bruh, the two singles from it were ace
>>37729300Wait when did they break up?
>>37731842they never did but this thread is not only about reuniting but also who should just stop making music
>>37729236I agree on Radiohead, after Hail to the Thief they should've just given up. It was obviously the end. Other points made are retarded.
>>37729705I think the primary reason I don't take Pitchfork seriously is the way they treated Trail of Dead.They built them up to unbelievable levels after Source Tags, and then preceded to savage them on every subsequent review for failing to single-handedly "save rock music".Sure, Worlds Apart or So Divided weren't as good as SC&T, but they were still pretty solid. As was Century of the Self.Granted the rest is rubbish, but I still feel bad for them. What makes it worse is that they've failed to do it consistently to bands who're hailed as saviours that then fail to live up to expectations (Arcade Fire, Titus Andro, Death Grips).
>>37731875Ah. I see.Well then >>37729300 can just shutup.
>>37731913In Rainbows is when they finally perfected their fusion of electronic and rock. That said, they have pretty much nowhere else to go. Not without re-tooling their sound Kid A style again.
Pixies
>>37732088>In Rainbows is when they finally perfected their fusion of electronic and rockI think they perfected it on Amnesiac. If anything In Rainbows was a regression back into an alt rock sensibility. Not in a negative sense, I think it's a great record, but they really dialed back the electronic aspect.
>>37729146WHAT BAND IS THIS FUK
>>37732674Slint
they could have ended it thereit would have been perfectwelp
>>37732701There has never been a truer post.
>>37732674The animal collectives>>37732701I know right
>>37732088In Rainbows is average personified.
>>37732701Listen to Songs From the Black Hole
>>37729219If they had broken up in 1997 they would be considered gods.
>>37732693I might like them if they didn't have that sipping water track on that one album.
Radiohead should make an album like Pablo Honey again. Maybe I would like it and all of you faggots would rip on it for being "too loud and violent". Fuck you Radiohead fans that think Kid A is the peak of musical art. You don't know shit.Genesis - Invisible Touch is the peak of modern art in the last 30 years. Nothing will ever come close. It's an epic meditation on intangibility. At the same time, it deepens and enriches the meaning of the preceding three albums.
>>37732773>personifiedlel
>>377292366/10 you have me there until the bit about Boris. probably a 9/10 to the average /mu/tard.
>>37732781has it eve been releasedlikelegit
>>37732773i was asleep by the time i got halfway through itincidentally when in rainbows came out i stopped being obsessed with radiohead
Why do you want bands to stop making music? if you don't like it no one is making you listen to it jesus christ o much autism here
>>37729236ADBA has one of my favourite GY!BE tracks of all time on it though
>>37732755Deakin is wearing a Modets mouse shirt
oops....
But it's too late...
>>37734097and what's even better is that they're not even paying for the music they made let alone will make.
>>37732701Pinkerton was Weezer's last album. What are you talking about?
>>37734484I hope you choke on your boyfriends cum and die.
>>37733096>implying New Album, Heavy Rocks (2) and that one other album they released in 2011 weren't awful
Should have stopped after this
>>37736914It's true

This was their last good album.Just look what became of them ...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pWKfXxwmYpQ
>>37729236ADBA is the best Godspeed album tho.
>>37736984>implying that if they made another album, it wouldn't get a 11.0 from pitchfork
How come nobody mentioned this talentless hack yet?
