I ADMIT MY CRIIIIMEEEE
Tfw I realized no-wave had plenty of decent albums but as a whole, is only worth remembering as a weird little scene in New York and not for it's music. Tbh it's music has only influenced shameless reviewer bait which is appropriate because music writers love writing about no-wave.
This is coming from someone who enjoys The Pop Group. Actually enjoyed their 2015 album Citizen Zombie alot
The concept behind no wave Is interesting, but the music itself is not enjoyable at all for me
Yeah same. Some of the more musical acts are solid enough but the white noise and proto-industrial stuff has no standing for me outside of minor curiositys.
I definitely remember No Wave for its music. Glenn Branca, Sonic Youth, Swans, Contortions, DNA, and 1/2 Japanese have all made some excellent music that definitely transcends a "weird little scene in New York"
It's ok, only like 4 songs are genuinely good
The Modern Dance >>>>
>The Modern Dance
>Not realizing that the other three albums released in this era of Pere Ubu are way better
why do people never listen to anything by pere ubu other than modern dance
The whole yelling really loud over le wall of sound shit got old fast.
It is their best album
Modern Dance > Dub Housing > Soldier-Talk > New Picnic Time > Art of Walking
Pop group weren't a no wave band
They're lumped into the no-wave scene/genre. How many of these bands became no-wave or were no-wave either. I feel this proves my point that no-wave was more of a movement/art-style than a defined sound.
>The Modern Dance
>Zen Arcade
based
>Modern Dance and Dub Housing first
>Art of Walking last
lmao. betting 50 bucks this guy hasn't even heard Song of the Bailing Man or anything later
YOUR HAIR IS ON FIRE OH WHEN I TOUCH YOU YOU MEELT
this.
I think you may have autism :/
It's their most famous album, user. It's like how people only talk about Loveless, Y, Suicide's self titled, TMR, Faust's self titled, ect, despite the fact that all of those bands have other very good albums. That's the one everyone knows, and most people don't care to dig deeper than what a band is most famous for.
Listen to this right now
this except I'd take The Modern Dance over Dud Housing any day
sorry buddy but even if you're looking at 'no wave' purely as a style The Pop Group don't fit in at all. Their stuff has wayyy more in common soundwise with the more out there dub stuff than it does with the angular and atonal sound of no wave. I guess Boys from Brazil is kinda no wavey but that's it
Double Nickels on the Dime?
I'm the person you replied to; here are my rankings of Pere Ubu releases:
1. The Modern Dance
2. New Picnic Time
3. Dub Housing
4. Datapanik in the Year Zero
5. 30 Seconds Over Tokyo / Heart of Darkness
6. Terminal Tower: An Archival Collection
7. The Art of Walking
8. Final Solution / Cloud 149
>he hasn't listened to anything after Art of Walking
I've listened to their entire discography; everything after 1980 is just shit (other than the Terminal Tower compilation which actually does have some post-Art of Walking singles on it)
Great group
>DUDE FUCK RICH PEOPLE LMAO
it's bad
based scaruffi drone
Actually I haven't listened to their whole discography bc I haven't checked out Live at the Longhorn April 1, 1978 yet but I've listened to all of their studio albums/singles/other live albums
