All of Rush
Sunbather.Vocals killed it for me.
>>51261106no
>>51261106Wrong
>>51261176yes
>>51261106the lyrics make that album what it is
>>51261106This.He sounds like a 16 year old taking a shit while trying to sing

All post-punk

>>51261318no no no

Everything Thom Yorke has ever done.Every Nirvana album.
>>51261058Only correct answer ITT
>>51261350Le fedora man
Maybe Atheist, idk Kelly Schaefer is just kind of a shitty metal vocalist. Doesn't ruin the band because they're amazing but if there's one bad thing about the band it's the vocals
It's only on the last track so it isn't much. Great album otherwise.>>51260669>>51261106>>51261318God no
>>51261350Confirmed for only listening to nevermind/in utero
>>51261433i like the last track and it surprised me how often people say it ruins the album
>>51260761sonic youth's vocals in general turn me off. they sound so bored.
>>51261456It didn't really ruin it for me, but hindered my final impressions of it for a bit.
>>51260740>>51260788I like his voiceIf you compare it to the singer in New Order it's pretty much amazing
>>51261501wrong
>>51261501this was bound to be posted eventually
Not really vocals, but albert's playing definitely ruined this album for me.
90% of metal albums
>>51261676thisi can't enjoy metal at all because of the vocals
>>51261676>>51261693seconding
Fuck you OP. The janky, amateur vocals on spiderland only add to the experience. You're a faggot.
>>51260669El-P in RTJ2, too white, too new york, makes the whole album sound like Mike Shinoda is making a hardcore comeback in a really weird way.That's all I can think of right now, I'll porbabby post again
>>51261536>not really vocalsmore like not vocals period. Anyway this album is hard to get into, It took me like 4 tries to get through the first track alone
>>51261770Its because the music isnt desperate enough to have screamed vocals, check out better screamo like Neil Perry, Kaospilot, and Envy
>>51261797>>not really vocalsYea, he uses his instrument like it's his voice.>It took me like 4 tries to get through the first track aloneit's not like it's too inaccessible for me or something like that, it's just that albert ayler is awful.
>>51260669agreed, this was awful, cringe-worthy delivery>>51260899disagree, his voice is fine if you grow accustomed to it>>51261676>>51261757fucking agreed, i feel like i could like the genre if not for the hilarious screeching
>>51261676Metal has some amazing vocalists, you're either listening to the wrong bands or listening to the vocals with the wrong expectations.Try the song Orphans of Sickness by Gorguts. If you don't think Luc is a good vocalist, then I guess you just can't into metal
>>51261839I see what you are saying, I dont like him either
>>51261797>>not really vocalsYea, but he uses his instrument like it's his voice.>It took me like 4 tries to get through the first track aloneit's not like it's too inaccessible for me or something like that, it's just that albert ayler is awful.
>>51261757Yeah, the screaming definitely ruined it. Especially as I was reading the lyrics on MusicBee.
Every "Yes" and "Smashing pumpkins" album
>>51261863What was wrong with the vox?
Every time I hear Mike Loves voice I wanna burn down a tree.
>>51261917>smashing pumpkinsFUCKING AGREED
>>51261939TREES LIKE ME WEREN'T MEANT TO LIVEIF ALL THIS WORLD CAN GIVE
>>51261963>>51261939DON'T GO NEAR THE WATER
>>51260740Completely this.
>>51261676Especially Arch Enemy
This could have easily been a 8.5/10 album if not for these horrible vocals
>>51262099This is my favorite punk album of all time.And I guess I do understand your point.But I would remind you that good punk vocals are supposed to be snotty, arrogant and abrasive.
>>51260669>>51260899>>51261106>>51261318>>51261501>>51261757>>51261770>being this wrong.>>51261274Correct. The Smiths have some damn good songs but fuck Morrissey's voice.
The entire the Joanna Newsoms discography.
>>51262209>fuck Morrissey's voice.>being this wrong
>>51261873Those are good vocals, but a lot of metal bands have shitty vocalists
>>51262246i've been baitedfuck you anon
>>51260899Meh, I can understand its something of an acquired taste but imo his vocals complete the album
>>51262253>Actually liking his retarded posh boy with nutella in his mouth style of singingCool.
>>51261501>>51260669>>51260740i didn't even know it was possible to be this plebiean
>>51262401liking these bands is
>>51262360>retarded posh boy with nutella in his mouth style of singing>Morrisseykek'd. Fell on the floor. Pissed my pants. Spit Nutella all over my computer screen.
>>51262360I like morrissey's vocals but this is the best description I ever saw - well done
>>51260669>>51260761Fuck off.
>>51262517
>>51261536You don't deserve to listen to this. There's so much wrong with your post. Go back to meme rap.
ITT: people criticize edgy /mu/core for having edgy /mu/core vocals
>>51262553this post, this retarded post, is the epitome of everything that's wrong with this board.I hope you're proud, anon.
>>51262246No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, noWrong>>51262553This
I just listened to this album today and I absolutely fucking adore every second except that one part in I.The Sun>HAAANDKERCHIEFthe pronunciation is so fucking ugly
>>51261350you can't be serious
>>51262555
conversations with /mu/tantsyall are some uninteresting sounding people
>>51262555>>51262654
>>51262674you take that back
>>51261262>>51261318>>51261433i poop on you
And while we're on the subject.I can't fucking stand Robert Plant's voice either.
>>51262680if only I was baiting and not serioustheir production overshadows their lyrics
>>51260669>not realizing the shit vocals are part of the charm
Everything Kate Bush has ever done.God!! That bitches voice makes me want to kill people.
>>51262654
>>51261925No. Their cartoonish sound is the only thing that makes it bearable to listen to songs about raping people.
>>51262807the vocals are part of the charm
>>51261615HEREIN A FAMILIAR PLACE
>>51262842good one, almost had me there
>>51262813
>>51262842there were vocals in this?
Anco entire discography.Avey Tare especially, has the most obnoxious voice i ever heard.
I dunno how half you people can even say you like music.
>>51262601>this thread, this retarded thread, is the epitome of everything that's wrong with this board.I hope you're proud, anon.
Any Animal collective album, but especially Strawberry Jam
>>51262873Yeah. Some cunt is trying to sing way deep in that shitty production. You have to listen really carefully, though.
>>51260669>>51260740>>51260761>>51261262>>51261274>>51262807>>51262842
>>51262878>>51262896Weird, I always liked Avey's vocals more in this album than the others.
>>51262807This.
>>51262884if you are the guy i replied to, please kill urself.
>>51262919THIS
>>51262877>>51262896How could you dislike Panda's vocals? They're extemely accessible, he sang on a Daft Punk album ffs.
>>51262946>urselfI'm not by the way, but you shouldn't be samefagging and arguing with yourself to start arguments
>>51262965meh, i'm not paying much attention to him, there's not much depth to his voice, it's pretty "normal" i guess. it's mostly Avey Tare that makes me despise AnCo
>>51260669you're a faggotplease leave now
>>51262965"accessible"Lol.
>>51263050wow, rude
what i am gathering from this thread is that all vocals ever suck.
If the mods banned everyone in this thread the board would be infinitely better
>>51260899Yes so many times. Although I have got used to them it would still be better without
>>51262919fucking this fuck that whiny voice
>>51261073>Thinking Ian Curtis has a good baritone
>>51263079maybe music sucks
>>51263124My fucking sides, did Curtis even know what notes he sang in?
>>51263140>My fucking sidesWhat about them?
>>51262871THIS for sure. Toki's falling off for me
>>51262807
Pic related is the only correct answer.
>>51261464>missing the point
>>51263228No it isn't. Shut the fuck up with your retarded meme cliches.
>>51263100pThat would include you too jabrosky.;P
>>51263228Oh shit. I forgot about Alvin and The Chipmunks make some cool noise rock.
>>51261274aaaaaaaaaaaaaa im so mad because of your post anon
>>51263251I'd rather listen to samples of nails on chalkboard on the album then that dumb cunts voice.
>>51263273No one gives a shitYou are a fucking faggot
no AJJ so far? i'm seriously surprised
>>51263228if we were playing "spot the plen" i'd have just won
>>51263294That would imply that AJJ's music itself isn't terrible to begin with which we know is not true
>>51263285>>51263305I'm sorry, but I'm afraid there is no help for you.
>>51263231i like cedric's voice on this. what don't you like about it?
>>51263305if we were playing "spot the guy who needs a Q Tip" i'd have just won
>>51263340Oh really? Because I've never heard that album.I'm just pointing out that you're a fucking moron.
>>51261676>Listening to metal>Sounds breddy gud>Some faggot starts growlingEvery single time. This is why I can't take metal seriously
>>51263352her vocals and agata's god-tier guitar are what set them above and beyond any even remotely similar band
>>51263355Memes.
>listening to music with vocalsgood one
>>51261058>>51261136>>51261274>>51261501>>51261615>>51261757>>51262133>>51262734>>51262871>>51262878>>51262919>>51263228Only reasonable answers so far.Everyone else is just posting to post.
>>51263268You forgot about one of the most well-known Japanese bands in the west? Pleb detected
>>51263231I can't believe how wrong you are. The emotion that goes into this album makes it what it is, without those vocals this album would be nothing
>>51261536>The entire focus of the album>Ruined the albumGo back to listening to The Stooges you fucking geek
>>51263460the stooges are good
>>51263372Maybe learn to appreciate the vocals and how they fit the tone of the music instead of being a little pussy
>>51263491>defending metal>back to /b/
>>51263518Whom are you quoting?
>>51263491>Incoherent guttural sounds>fitting with anything except maybe noise or industrial
>>51263491Are you new here?
>>51263456I like the vocals but you are so wrong. The experimentation and dub and post-punk influences make the album what it is. It's the first sign of Omar and cedric deviating towards the sounds they produced with de facto and TMV.
>>51263549>noise and industrial >>>/lgbt/>>>/b/>>>/hm/>>>/out/
>>51263456It's a joke. With the exception of maybe 1-2 posts this thread is just endless amounts of plebs and shitposting so I thought I'd help contribute.
>>51261873I like some metal, but that song is ass. That awful drum rhythm actually made me laugh, and then some guy comes in growling. That's the kind of shit that makes people belittle metal. There's plenty of good metal, but that isn't it
>>51263582You seem to be on the wrong board, manlytears.>>>/v/
>>51263582
>>51261917SEASONS WILL PASS YOU BY
>>51261131I knew someone would bring that up. It's certainly an acquired taste- I've come to like it through listening to primarily them for the past 7 years, though. Seriously, though, in the 90's... what the hell was he thinking?
>>51263614You seem to be 16 years old.
>>51263460I listen to jazz almost exclusively you fucking retard. Albert's tone is just really fucking bad, it just sounds awful, there's no other way to describe it. And it ruins the album because the bass and drums are soo good.
>>51261882Albert Ayler is great, nerd
>>51263582what
>>51263549Moron. guttural vocals did not originate in any of the genres you listed, and they don't have to be incoherent either.I wish kids like you would stop pretending to know anything about music.
>>51263582uh are you new?
>out of your rebellious teenager stage>listening to noise and industrialYou can pick only one.
>>51263685You must be, 'cos your taste is absolute shit.
>>51263696>posting bait that's already been postedpoor
>>51263598The drum beat is good, there is literally nothing wrong with it. I have no idea what you think you're getting at. Let me guess, the 'metal' you like includes bands like deafheaven, agalloch, woods of Ypres?
>>51263723You have to be 18 to post here, you miserable sack of shit.>I listen to industrial noise,,it's so dark and twisted >:)>It's shall I say...for the macabre and dark spirits that roam this earth >:)>ever heard buyer's market? totally twisted >:)
>>51263427Yes entirely yes. The instrumentals are actually very good and the lyrics are also pretty good, but Brendan Urie's voice made it into marketable teen music
>>51263745you having fun, anon?
>>51263745avant teens are truly the worst
>>51263424I'm glad to receive the validation of an anonymous internet user.
>>51263725Nope, I don't like any of those bands. Agalloch is kitschy, Deafheaven is ruined by the silly screeching vocals, and I haven't heard of Ypres. But yeah, that interspersed hammering drum beat of DUN DUN DUN just sounds fucking stupid, in my opinion. For metal albums I like the drumming on, The Satanist (Behemoth) and Remission (Mastodon) come to mind.
Fuck that chipmunk shit he does
>>51261676>>51263187First song exempted
>>51263912Mastodon's vocals actually don't bother me. They're intense, but they don't devolve into silly bullshit like growling and screeching
>>51263848Mastodon and Behemoth are shit so that doesn't surprise me. You're just a metal pleb. You'll learn one day.
>>51264116You probably listen to black metal.
>>51264140For every song you listen to, you suck 2 dicks.
>>51264116lel enjoy your patrician death metal, friend. Plebs like me will stick to bands with competent musicians
>>51264255Mastodon is better than any black metal band.
Anything by julianna barwick...
>>51263381This, but only on the songs with Nico singing>>51264332Fuck no, why don't you like her voice?
>>51264140Rarely.>>51264261Mastodon are not competent musicians. They're talentless hacks with no originality or quality. I bet you listen to qotsa too.
>>51264379I think her vocals are beautiful. "Baby Birch" is sung so well
>>51264379What's with all the plens in this thread? She has an amazing voice, what's bad about it?
>>51264484Lol.
>>51264469I too enjoy the sounds of bleeting sheep.Got kik?
>>51264484I agree. If she didn't sing like a complete retard, her albums would be commonplace drivel
>>51264379there's nothing to ruin because the whole album is garbagio
>>51264461>Mastodon are not competent musicians. They're talentless hacks with no originality or quality. I bet you listen to qotsa too.Everything I've heard from Mastodon is better than that shitty song you posted. Poorly produced, kitschy vocals, uninteresting rhythm section... really bad in every possible way. Liking insufferable music doesn't make you special. Mastodon isn't particular original, but their songwriting is leagues better than what you posted.Also, saying "I bet you listen to ..." isn't actually an insult or any kind of worthwhile statement; in fact, coming from you, it means whatever band you mention is probably talented seeing as you don't appear capable of detecting that in a band.
>>51264553Nice essay buddy. You're still wrong. Poor production? It's not amazing, but it's not bad, you clearly just don't know shit about music production. Mastodons albums all have terrible production. You clearly got into mastodon through /mu/ and now think you know shit about metal. You don't. You're a robot. You're a sheep.
How has no one said Xiu Xiu yet?
>>51264623Nice ad hominem brah but there was no counterpoint.
>>51264484I can see the appeal but I can't stand listening to it for more than 2 songs at a time. Something about the overly child-like, high pitched, kinda shrill delivery rubs me the wrong way.>>51263228kinda, it fits the music but the vocals on themselves are pretty bad.>>51262626'Ruined' is a big word but jeez, if Phil had just hired a capable singer...I fucking cringe at the 'FIIIIIIIIIIIIREEEEEE' part.>>51262734>>51261136agreedPic related, close-to-decent noise punk ruined by her just yelling over it like a tumblr feminist Yoko Ono.
>>51264623>Mastodons albums all have terrible production.Never read this criticism anywhere before. You're trying too hard. The production isn't poor at all.>You clearly got into mastodon through /mu/ and now think you know shit about metal. You don't. You're a robot. You're a sheep.I've known about Mastodon since the early 2000s, so nope. And I don't claim to know a bunch about metal, but that's because most of it is really bad and silly--like what you posted. You're not cultured or knowledgeable because you like a band who's never earned any kind of meaningful praise from any critic and whose production is poor and whose songwriting talents are nonexistent. And please don't try to act elitist about such a musically vacuous genre like metal anyway. If you're gonna be a snob, be that way about Western art music or jazz, where the pretension is at least justified. Now kindly go back to listening to growls recorded through a tin can
mastodon is better than gorgutsit's not even close
>>51264809>And I don't claim to know a bunch about metal, but that's because most of it is really bad and sillyCouldn't have said it better myself.Death metal? Lol. Get out of here. Please.
death metal is death metal is death metalgorguts (lol) or cannibal corpose.it's all rubbish.
>>51264809>I've never heard this before because I shelter myself on /mu/ so it's not true!!It's shitty, loud mainstream production.>no meaningful praise from any kind of criticMoron. Hundreds of critics have praised Gorguts, in fact they're considered very important pioneering musicians. But regardless, it's laughable that you base music's quality on whether or not a bunch of music critics shit themselves over it. Music critics are just normal people like you or I who happen to write down their opinions. You really are a sheep-robot if you think critical acclaim matters.>musically vacuousPlenty of it is musically brilliant. Again, stop talking about it like you know anything. >recorded through a tin canYou are deaf.
>>51264989why do you spend so much time on cartoon music?
>>51263912OI THINK THAT SOMEONE IS TROYING TO KILL MOI
>>51265015Nice meme.
>>51265111But it does, metal has the depth and nuance of a cartoon.
>>51264973Gorguts (yeah I admit their name is shit, English isn't their first language) sound pretty fucking different to cannibal corpse. Use your ears.
>>51263575Did you forget that Drive-In were a fucking punk band, influenced mainly by early Fugazi? What makes Drive-In better than TMV is the emotion and energy.
>>51265139That's a nice point you pulled out of your ass. How about some substance to back it up?
>>51265192Woah dude, no one said anything about them being better than TMV. And what exactly about TMV lacks emotion?
>>51261917>smashing pumpkins albums>every one of them
>>51264989>It's shitty, loud mainstream production.No it isn't. Never heard that anywhere before, but I guess I'll trust the unintelligent guy on /mu/! If you want bad production, listen to Death Magnetic. Also,>mainstream productionThis explains a lot. I wouldn't want to impugn your special snowflake status!>Hundreds of critics have praised Gorguts[citation needed]>You really are a sheep-robot if you think critical acclaim matters.In my experience, there tends to be a pretty strong correlation between critical acclaim and musical quality. There are obviously plenty of exceptions, but what you posted before certainly isn't one of them.>You are deaf.It sounds like poop. Perhaps the fact that they were dropped from their label when recording this album explains the shit production
The United States of America when Dorothy sang.
>>51265285I don't claim to be a special snowflake or anything. Mastodon just sound shit. You only like them because it's trendy to. And if you knew anything about Gorguts, you'd know they produced Obscura, a very highly praised and influential album.Regardless, Erosion of Sanity has better sounding production than any mastodon album. If you think otherwise then you are fucking deaf. I bet you don't even hear the individual parts when you listen to music.
>>51261963A Day in the Life of a Tree is great.Mike Love is still a cocksucker though.
>>51260899I agree for this album, but not for Horses in the Sky.
>>51264379When people complain about Newsom's vocals they usually talk about Milk Eyed Mender. Did you like that better or do you just not like her vocals at all?
>>51261917Jon Anderson is the greatest singer of all time m8
>>51261939GOOOOOOOOD NIIGHT, BABYSLEEEEEEEEP TIGHT, BABY
>>51261757>>51261863>>51261883>>51263424you are all massive faggotsit's a metal albumgo listen to my bloody valentine or something if you can't handle screaming
>>51261436Hey In Utero is a great album because of the lyrics. I can get why Bleach or Nevermind are better wordless, but In Utero without words is just blasphemy.
>>51265613> metal> not for childrenI would gladly listen to mbv over that awful shit
>>51265613i can handle it, i just find it fucking hilarious to hear some guy squawking in the mic. absolutely detracts from any music they make.i can't be surprised though, it's a genre where they paint their face with "corpse paint" and think they're satanic/pagan/whatever
>>51265647Kurts lyrics are mostly ok on all the albums. It's just he started out with great, raw screaming vocals on bleach/incesticide side 2, then neutered his vocal delivery for nevermindAt least he was aware of selling out, he wanted to call the album 'sheep' because that's who'd buy it
>>51265678>>51265714they neither paint their faces nor think they're satanici agree that some metal is just comical, but the screaming fits so well with the intensity of sunbather
>>51260669https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gcjhJLcIDOA
>>51261136actually made the album great
>>51262246incorrect
>>51262878but i like avey tare's screams
>>51264358nico's voice sounds like she's some kind of ice queen or some shitit's unsettling to listen to but it works for the songs she's on

>>51267513i know a guy that plays guitar and looks exactly like him but with long hair
