ITT Your Favorite Album

Raw, unique, and timeless. You’d almost think roger waters wrote the lyrics.

m8, it sounds like you don't know what overproduced means. Every song on Be Here Now is the result of about 70 different guitar tracks overlayed on top of one another. All of Oasis' early albums were 'overproduced' in that sense. It worked on DM, it hindered Morning Glory but the songs worked in spite of that, and it absolutely destroyed BHN

>it hindered Morning Glory
u wot m8

I'm yet another guy jumping in. If it's not overproduced, then what do you call Noel Gallagher playing the same guitar parts over and over, 20 times or so, to get a saturated, dense sound?

The opposite of overproduced is underproduced (or not produced at all). In a word, silence. But let's go with underproduced. Examples of that would be Dylan's first album. Or Springsteen on Broadway or Songs Our Daddy Taught Us (Everly Brothers). Songs with very sparse, bare instrumentation.

Have you ever actually listened to All Around The World??

'overproduced' is such a meme term. Siamese Dream is 'overproduced' and is regularly hailed as one of the best sounding albums of the 90s.

The truth is overproduction is a good thing. The problem with Be Here Now is that it's BADLY produced.

It's not even the overproducing that ruins Oasis for me, it's just the terrible mixing, you can't hear shit, it would be one thing to have layered guitars underneath the vocals, but their mixed so high that i can't even fucking hear the vocals, or the bass. Be Here Now isn't even the worst csse of terrible mixing, honestly, that goes to Definitely Maybe, I honesty can't hear shit on that thing asides from the singles, I'm constantly adjusting the knobs anytime i put that cd in my car.

Jesus, imagine Oasis being one of your favourite artists

if you want to have a semantic debate I get what you're saying but usually when people say somethings overproduced it's just shorthand for to clean and polished sounding.

you must be deaf m8, the vocals aren't exactly buried in the mix

It's a lyrically dense concept album about a grief stricken author sinking into the depths of mental illness and madness. The album is considered a "book of short stories, poems and letters" that said author has written in order to understand his own suffering. The songs on the album can be divided between short stories, and letters/poems. In the short stories, the author writes about a tragedy and attempts to understand its meaning and its relation to himself, so he often writes himself into the narrative as a character or observer. The poems/letters are written to the author's friends and families where we can, to a much more clinical degree, understand his mental state and decline.

Take away the concept entirely, and you're left with one of the most compelling and interesting Post-Hardcore records you've probably ever heard. La Dispute seamlessly blends Post-Hardcore, Post-Rock, Prog and Spoken Word into a massively atmospheric juggernaut that is one part haunting and one part heart-pumping. All the instruments are exceptionally mixed, and every single one of them is doing something unique. Vocalist Jordan Dreyer gives his absolute best performance on the album, and understandably shines as the front man for his:

>Unique delivery
>Writing style (he says he writes stories, not poems)
>His command of the English language (read the lyrics; they're book-worthy imo)

The album has been incredibly well received critically and by fans.

Make no mistake, this is the 2010s best PHC record. I will die on this hill.

Just a short sample of some of the "stories" on this record. Sit back and take in all the unique instrumentation, the narrative unfolding, and the haunting atmosphere.

This album, besides getting me into harsh vocals, has some of the most contrasting dynamics I have ever heard in a metal album. It has simple but developing song structures, it is very heavy without being pulverizing, and it is wonderfully melancholic, but ends on a very hopeful note. It feels triumphant when the third track climaxes.

So why is this your favorite album, OP?

I used to like this a whole lot, but I came back to it after a while and didn't like the vocals or the music that much.

One of a few...

It's from a German musician who focuses on balearic themed music. Nowadays he does Meditative music and Film Scores/Orchestrals too.

His Sunlounger compilations have 2CDs, one with Chillout - "Unplugged" Mixes and one with Dance mixes, uptempo dance music.

I listen to the Chillout Versions to deep-relax but i love his Trancier stuff the same

You literally get tired halfway through the album.

Terrible album picks so far in this thread. This might be considered a compilation but I don't care. Both of Joy Divisions albums could be a pick as well.

Post punk

The one that goes duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh. duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, ting, tong, ting, tong, ting, tong, tingtingtingting, ting, tong, ting, tong, ting, tong, tingtingtingting, A...and so on and so forth. That one.

>Oasis
Pub rock chav tunes. Even though I don't like Liam, he at least isn't as much pompous inward-looking cunt as Noel. The only time Noel's vocals worked was when he did Setting Sun, but that was crafted entirely by the Chemical Brothers.

What's fucking hilarious is how the Chems are both about to hit their 50s and are commercially successful now than Noel who keeps churning out the same shit dadrock dross because he can't let go of the cocaine dreams of 1996. He hasn't been popular at all outside of the UK since the turn of the century.

OP, I love that album. It was my favorite for a few years but others have surpassed it since. What i love about Be Here Now is it sounds exactly like what Oasis was SUPPOSED to be (for better and for worse.) It sounds like it soars, it roars, in its majestic coke-fueled philosophy of "we are too rich and over-confident now to pretend be humble anymore". It is the promise of "Rock 'n Roll Star" being fulfilled. It rubs EVERYBODY the wrong way, because it is so self-indulgent and self-congratulatory, but that's the point of the album. Oasis had ALWAYS promised that was their end-game. Noel never wanted to be an artist. He wanted to be loud and rich, and this is the spund of its accomplishment.
It takes a particular kind of personality to appreciate BHN's aesthetic. I think most people are just too philosophically humble and not self-assured enough to have this music resonate with them in any meaningful way. Not sure if that's a problem with the record, or with music listeners at large.
Personally, i think it's the latter.
