i was just kidding above! actually the albums poll is ruined now like everyone said
from this early stage it is ruined and everyone likes bad music and bad formats and everyone is bad and should feel bad and something something variable bit rate magnets

tape distortion can be used to great effect. see kyle hall.

You can do interesting things with tape aesthetics.
Not that I have one but I thought this was pretty cool. Guy gets cool sounds on his demo tracks.

good cover art on metal albums is ubiquitous enough to be almost boring but baronness cover is pretty neat

I couldn't have imagined being relieved to listen to Baroness today. I loathe this cover art.
― tangenttangent, Monday, 25 January 2016 15:49 (eight years ago) link
my feeling about baroness is that, while in theory i could have a place for a 2015 alice in chains in my workout playlist, in practice the final fantasy ambiance nixes it.

Baroness is a band that I've wanted to like, but it just never completely clicks for me.
― Check Yr Scrobbles (Moodles), Monday, 25 January 2016 15:53 (eight years ago) link
Not my thing, but I've always loved Baroness cover art.
Artist John Dyer Baizley has a gallery.

project pablo is great, was p high on my ballot iirc, i may have even been one of the #1s on some strategic shit. if you are really allergic to any lo-fi i guess i can't convince you of its merits but it's really best thought of as a light spritzy melodic house trifle. it's like a lemon soda by the pool, and one of the best attempts at mixing house + the am gold softpop pallet. the production and sound design is really good and well-suited to the music imo; it sounds bright but not murky or excessively melted-in-the-sun, the drums aren't loud cause they don't have to be but have a good scrappy breakbeat feel. the one thing that annoys me about it being lo-fi is it doesn't sound great played at loud volumes, the one time i played it out i had to cut it halfway. also i'm sure it's not really a cassette, as in they didn't bounce it off a cassette on the mp3 you're listening to.

The first track on the Eek album is very funny and would be a lot better if it had a discernible bass line
