Albums currently kicking your ass

[Master_Yoda77]

The goth rock that involves a giant black dildo shoved up his tiny white ass while he humps a lifesize cutout of JAGEagent's lips.

What goth rock do you find enjoyable?

The "deathrock" wing (Christian Death & co) is enjoyable. If more synth-y stuff like Clan of Xymox counts, I can usually be OK with it. I guess The Birthday Party/Nick Cave/etc isn't generally considered gothic rock, but it's the kind of thing that was influential on the style and I like the gothic country niche that they helped spawn.

Jesus Christ that is some neckbeard shit. You got your fedora on m'lady?

This album is essentially perfect.

Yes, it is.

Not seeing the connection m8. Metal is full of neckbeards anyways so who cares?

do you like the cure's PORNOGRAPHY?

Haven't heard it (some songs probably several years ago but don't remember well enough to say), but Disintegration bores me.

 

[crimsonfloyd]

You clearly have a fetish for being wrong. I bet you jerk off while repeatedly scrawling 2 + 2 = 5 on a piece of note paper.

We have more common ground than I thought. You're still wrong about metal people having shit taste in non-metal.

Disintegration bores me.

same, the first three cure were all way better, culminating with PORNOGRAPHY

edit: wait, i always forget about THREE IMAGINARY BOYS. the 2nd, 3rd and 4th albums are way better, i should say.

 

[no country for old wainds]

most metal people have shit taste in non-metal because most metal people have shit taste in metal

 

[HamburgerBoy]

If I still listened to all the stuff I tried forcing myself to enjoy a decade ago because other metal people did, I'd be listening to...

The Cure
Dead Can Dance
Death in June
Depeche Mode
Joy Division
Porcupine Tree/Steven Wilson
Sigur Ros
The Sisters of Mercy
The Smiths
Swans (post-Children of God)

In other words, my life would suck. Granted, I probably wouldn't have gotten into prog rock or "artsy" pop like Bjork and Kate Bush as quickly if they weren't popular among metal peeps as well.

CLOSER (aside from 'isolation' and 'heart and soul') and especially PORNOGRAPHY are pretty devastating records, but otherwise i'm with you on that.

 

[rms]

I'm still a huge fan of The Smiths..s/t and Queen is Dead are pretty awesome. Never could get into Joy Division or The Cure.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

I prefer Unknown Pleasures tbh. Day of the Lords ftw.

 

[no country for old wainds]

the majority of CLOSER is completely wonderful tbh. such intense, despairing, perfectly composed music. i don't like joy division when they get even remotely upbeat or poppy though. 'love will tear us apart' is dogshit.

 

[no country for old wainds]

i don't think UNKNOWN PLEASURES really compares, it's so much shallower and tamer. more of a pop record which i don't think suits the joy division aesthetic.

 

[crimsonfloyd]

Unknown Pleasure is damned good, but Closer is on a whole other level.

 

[no country for old wainds]

yeah, don't get me wrong, i do like UP. it just feels like a lark to me when compared to the overwhelmingly bleak, haunting emotional journey CLOSER embarks upon (aside from the two songs i mentioned previously, neither of which i like at all). kind of like the relationship between FAITH and PORNOGRAPHY.
