I think what makes these videos so special (and in turn what makes them so successful) is the way your long, detailed exploration of each album perfectly encapsulates the way many of us music nerds feel about them. Sometimes you are even able to further my own enjoyment and appreciation of albums purely through your descriptions (you finally made me give Godspeed the chance they deserved and now they are one of my favourite bands of all time). I watch a lot of video essays on albums and read various different analysis pieces on new releases, generally by well established critics. I don't think anyone really imerses me in their videos like you do. You deserve to grow to one of youtubes biggest music critics.
I second this, I couldn't see the appeal of skinny fists when I heard it years ago but your description helped me appreciate it so much more even without listening to it immediately and just thinking about it. Really appreciate the videos describing things so there's a way to latch onto things before you dive in. Thanks for making /mu/core accessible.
i love these videos so much. its so amazing to hear somebody go in depth on some of my favourite albums ever made that aren't talked about enough on yt and that have emotionally impacted and resonated with me. albums such lonesome crowded west, moon and antarctica, slanted and enchanted, grace and almost everything you've covered in these videos have had such large impacts in so many people's lives and it's just so sweet hearing how other people interpret and relate to the art that you love. i hope you make more of these videos, keep up the good work
As someone who is a big fan of Les Rallizes Denudes, a member of their online fanbase, and someone who has learned how to play their songs and sing the almost incomprehensible japanese lyrics by heart, it's such a joy to hear someone discuss '77 Live like this!! I was stunned to see this as high as it was in the /mu/ core list (let alone placed there at all) when I first discovered LRD and it's been the moment in this series I've been looking forward to the most! I almost couldn't sit through the whole video for it at the tail end, but your engaging and informative approach to every album and your honest and passionately-informed opinions kept me hooked and put me on to some new ones I haven't given a chance yet. Thank you very much!!! :)
i was obsessed with modest mouse when i was depressed in college. maybe it's time i returned to them - it's not like i'm any less depressed now. i've listened to a lot of pavement-adjacent bands (many of which are in this video) so idk how i haven't really gotten into them yet. never cared for grimes too much so your hot take isn't that hot to me. pinkerton for life, it's an easy pick over blue for me. i love this emotional stuff. "real industrial music" like throbbing gristle is borderline unlistenable for me - maybe i'm too soft but i'll take pop conventions over ear-piercing tones any day. also never listened to siamese dream or a promise (never even heard of les rallizes denudes), i'll get right to it! thanks for the vid!
your tale of A Promise made me think back to the first time la disputes Somewhere at the Bottom of the River Between Vega and Altair really got to me, ive listened to it a little bit before but it was a bit too angsty, especially the vocals and then one day Fall Down, Never Get Back Up Again came on my ipod while I had it on shuffle on the bus home from school one day and suddenly the entire album just clicked for me and I had to do everything in my power to not just completely lose my marbles and start loudly wailing at the back of the bus lol. been one of my fav albums ever since
i love the way you resonate with a promise. you get that shit. especially the importance of fast car which i think a lot of people underrate in the context of the album. xiu xiu for life.
I was really worried when I saw A promise was on this list because it's one of my favourite albums ever and I know it's not exactly for everyone, but you really get it haha.
just want to put it out there and say that Billy Corgans 2017 solo album is such a hidden gem in my opinion. Very personal quiet, somber songs. No one i have talked to seems to know of it.
Whoa whoa whoa... That Boredoms tease is too much, I can't wait to see that video. I had the good luck to get to see them live in Tokyo in.... 2015 or 2016 and it was one of the best concerts I have ever been to.
Sorry that this post will be super long, but I really wanted to thank Boundo and put out all of my ideas. I feel really sad because I tried to make a comment on this video a while ago that was fully written out, but then my computer died before I could post it and unfortunately I didn’t save it… So, I’ll try to write it again here because I have been thinking about it so much that I just need to try and get those ideas out again. I do want to say that It’s Boundo’s channel is one of my favourites on the entirety of RUclips and has introduced me to so many beloved albums of mine (notably ‘Deathconsciousness’ by Have A Nice Life, which is one of the most impactful albums of all time to me and I see as a perfect allegory for my depression). I think what really makes me enjoy this channel and especially this /mu/ core series in particular, that despite its overused ideas of reviewing /mu/ albums, it is the way that Boundo describes the music with such passion and incredible descriptivism that I truly love and really reminds me of some other favourite music reviewers of mine such as Polyphonic and Pad Chennington (side note: I’m super excited for the next episode to come out mostly because of hearing Boundo’s opinion of Floral Shoppe by Macintosh Plus because I am a massive fan of Vaporwave and I really want to see their opinion or critiques of an album I love and even of the vaporwave genre as a whole). The perfect example of why I enjoy this channel so much is Boundo’s review of ‘Perfect From Now On’ by Built To Spill; just as a quick background, I was introduced to Built To Spill not through this album, but instead through ‘Keep It Like A Secret’, specifically the song “Carry The Zero”, which is my favourite of the band. The song is beautiful and just fills me with such joy to listen to, along with the rest of the incredible tracks on ‘Keep It Like A Secret’, it is still my favourite album by the band. Around that time was when I found Boundo’s channel through this /mu/ series and I watched this video the same day it came out and after seeing ‘Perfect From Now On’ receive such high praise and hearing “Stop The Show” in the background, along with my love of ‘Keep It Like A Secret’; I knew I had to listen to it. Boundo said it perfectly that this album “It's like a human record conceived by aliens, or vice versa” because this album is so particularly made that I couldn’t see it any other way. The only thing that I see differently to Boundo’s opinions is that the songs despite being ~6 minutes long on average, are that every song feels as if it were an entire hour long, all within that time. I personally love songs that distort time to make it an enjoyable experience with nearly no time passing at all and this album does it so effortlessly that I couldn’t imagine any better at it. The album has such glistening highs and sombre lows throughout that expel such emotion and meaning when listening to it in a way that nothing else other than Built To Spill can do to me. The crescendoing peaks of every song create such an atmosphere that it really feels as if it truly is intergalactic in scale and is only destined to expand more. The twangy guitars and bombastic basses with filters to make them so soft and lush one moment, just to flip the switch and explode in such magnitude and intensity to fill all of the world around you in a sonorant landscape. The solidity of the drums keeps the tempo and beat constantly flowing and changing to places that you would never expect, but always staying just prominent enough to bob along to and keep in time. Most of all though is the incredible subtleness of the vocals throughout the music, speaking such graceful and meaningful words whether joyful and exuberant or downtrot and depressing all at a moment's notice throughout the song that just pulls you in and leaves you to reminisce on it for long hours after you hear them, even on the first, second, tenth, or hundredth listen. I truly love ‘Perfect From Now On’ and Built To Spill as a whole, but I realize that I have Boundo to truly thank for that because without these impeccable videos, I may have never expanded my musical taste to such interesting places nor had had such meaningful experiences with this album, anything by Swans, or ‘Spiderland’ by Slint, or especially ‘Deathconsciousness’ by Have A Nice Life. I really want to thank you for your incredible work Boundo and I hope to see as much as I can from this channel in the near future to take me on whole new journeys of music I would have never found otherwise. I’ve recommended your channel or albums you reviewed to many of my musically active friends and they all agree that your creativity and passion for your work is exceptional and deserves as much recognition as possible. From a fellow Canadian, I thank you for your videos, keep up the great work!
_This is a long drive_ is arguably less accessible than _Lonesome Crowded West._ Not by much, but Long drive is rougher, less polished, more trashy in my opinion. It has some really damn ugly (non-pejorative) songs like Ohio, Head South, She Ionizes among others. Lounge starts off really aggressive and then turns into a meditative sort of jam after the fact, but you have to get through the panic-attack of the first part to even reach that moment. The thing that probably makes it slightly more accessible at a first glance is how it starts of with dramamine.
@ghost mall Yeah I showed dramamine to a friend and he went into the album expecting more of that. Instead he got slapped with breakthrough immediately.
I don't know if you've listened to it, but I'm disappointed you didn't mention Art Angels in the Grimes section. I don't get much of anything out of Visions either, but I love that album, and it actually did grow on me a lot. I kept going through a moment of "oh hey, this song is way better than I first realised" with basically every song. Except Belly of the Beat. It's a solid song, but also clearly the weak point. I'd say it's one of my favourite albums.
Your siamese dream hits close to home because I really love all of their music pre breakup, although I think Mellon Collie is the better album, Siamese is still a masterpiece
@@itsboundo. would you mind posting the chart you are going off of in the community tab or a link to the image to see whats coming up since I know theres like a million versions with small differences so im just curious on what version/order this is going in
love these videos honestly do not like most of the mu/core picks though, only really like 77 live and i love harsh noise and noise rock, and just generally lrd lmao, their best is probably 81-88 live n soundboard but 77 live is 2nd easily. love the boris mention too. recs for lrd fans: Suishou no Fune, Yamatsuka Eye, Aihiyo and probably Hijokaidan
@@itsboundo. actually, that comment is in reference to calling TLCW their least accessible. it is ultimately a matter of opinion, on a personal level, though without a doubt the debut is the more low-fi, noisier album, at least
@@cl8804 I don’t necessarily have an opinion one way or another but I think just in terms of starting the album Dramamine is way more accessible than teeth. I do think they both pretty similar in accessibility though
Built to Spill rocks and influenced the early modest mouse albums, and i mean that in a positive way. They even opened for BTS only for BTS to end up opening for them after they blew tf up
Dude, how the moon and antarctica is more acessible then Lonesome Crowded West? Moon and Antarctica has a lot of different sounds and experimentation. You really heard the same album as me? Just look at The Cold Part, Alone Down There and The Stars Are Projectors. How that is more acessible than Heart Cooks Brain, Trailer Trash and Polar Opposites? Lonesome Crowded West is way straightforward than Moon And Antarctica in any sense, just look at the metaphors about Moon that you explained on the video man, or the sonic experimentation with the production, orchestra and reverse guitars.
I think I understand why you dont get Merriweather Post Pavilion. Forgive me if this is offensive, but you arent happy. I was so confused at your reduction of MPP to a fun, well produced psych pop album, and missed all the meaning its chockful of. The reason you didnt put much emphasis on the climax of In The Flowers, described the "woos" on My Girls as cute, and said the album started to fall off around guy eyes is because you've never experienced the transcendent freedom, love of life and the world, and the gratefulness of being created the songs express. The way you describe relating to A Promise while being isolated I think highlights our exact opposite music taste and probably broader worldview, because I found MPP when I was most isolated after moving across the country with no friends to talk to. I listen to MPP on 3 day solo backpacking trips and just soaked in the beauty of the world, and of being alive. By contrast A Promise is like watching a horror movie, and I kinda like it for that reason, but never related to it at all. Cheer up man. 😁👍
I don't know if I agree with this? Sure, I wasn't in the best mindpace I've ever been when I released that first video, but by the same token the past year of my life has been about the happiest I've been in my life, and even so my multiple relistens of MPP haven't left as much of an impression as some of the band's other masterworks like Spirit and Strawberry Jam. Both of those records are, I believe, just as joyful and impactful, but I find them to be more coherent as full records and contain much more consistent highs than MPP. And I love that record, mind you, but in the grand scheme of the discography there's a lot I'd rather be listening to.

Yoooo this series got me into so many albums im rly glad ur back at it
i really wish boundo will finish that chart series entirely, that would be the best videos youtube ever seen
surely ghetto smosh “Legend of the Plug” will be included
I love your commentary, you are so well researched and impassioned with your analysis. Great series.
Wow you’re really good at explaining how these albums sound, subscribed

So glad your continuing this series!
Swag just in time! Just ended a long term relationship and your content will be sweet band-aid to ail my sorrows ty
Phenomenal writeup on A Promise. Your channel is such a treat.
LCW is the best album of all time
In my opinion the moon and antarctica is far more obtuse and inaccessible (relatively) than the lonesome crowded west. Love the video!
Most of these albums were huge for me 15ish years ago. Thank you for refreshing them for me. I'm going to give them another listen.

i love the way you resonate with a promise. you get that shit. especially the importance of fast car which i think a lot of people underrate in the context of the album. xiu xiu for life.
I think The Soft Bulletin deserves the comparison to Pet Sounds more than the Blue Album. Interesting video!

P.s also crying at apistat commander 🥲
Blacks will forever be my favorite song on that album. One of the most perfect songs about suicide ever written.
just want to put it out there and say that Billy Corgans 2017 solo album is such a hidden gem in my opinion. Very personal quiet, somber songs. No one i have talked to seems to know of it.

Return of the goat. Love your channel
Always looking forward to new videos from you! Great stuff as always
i love the first two videos, im glad you made this part.
Patiently waiting for part 4!!
Weezer is hardcore virgin music without trying to sound like hardcore virgin music.
I never understood the virginity joke when there is literally a song called tired of sex on it

also always great to see modest mouse praise

Lonesome crowded west was one of the first albums I owned. I’m glad it’s held in high regard
Bee Thousand is essential. Turns out it's kind of zoomer filter cause it's score on rym is dropping year by year
I'm not gonna say that's the reason I prefer aoty more than rym, but...

This covers several of some of my favorite albums of all time in one video. Awesome stuff love your reviews on these records!

_This is a long drive_ is arguably less accessible than _Lonesome Crowded West._ Not by much, but Long drive is rougher, less polished, more trashy in my opinion. It has some really damn ugly (non-pejorative) songs like Ohio, Head South, She Ionizes among others.
