I mean, I think the best hardcore record this year was Bison BC.. no doubt.. but F*cked Up did things on this record that are bigger than just "hardcore." They merged shoegaze and layers - 17 guitar sounds on one track? - and made a record people can strive to recreate... <br /><br />5 years from now, harcore kids writing songs will look to this record as a way to get better....ackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05729366675037743199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6395294324589385160.post-64403430005286050422009-10-03T11:25:47.846-04:002009-10-03T11:25:47.846-04:00Kurtis - I'll post a track with Jamaican gun n...Kurtis - I'll post a track with Jamaican gun noises in it next week...<br /><br />Maria - not obnoxious in the slightest. But, I guess with hardcore music I'm not sure that I have a real metric for measuring how good they are. With hip-hop, which I imagine a few readers here don't get, you can look at production (which to me is the most important thing), their rhyming, flow, etc.,etc., etc.<br /><br />With hardcore, I just don't get it, but I'm genuinely curious - what makes a good hardcore album?The R.O.B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17783754701495765900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6395294324589385160.post-90436687953314716872009-10-03T10:14:12.572-04:002009-10-03T10:14:12.572-04:00Well, I don't wanna sound obnoxious, but even ...Well, I don't wanna sound obnoxious, but even though you don't get the hardcore genre - and I'm okay with that - you should know that Fucked Up is widely considered (by many people outside the hardcore scene) one of the most important bands of the decade. I mean, there has been critical consensus about them, and their crowd is also not restricted to the scenesters: Fucked Up is not just another hardcore band, or it wouldn't get any attention. And their work has gained way more recognition (and check out the reviews on their albums) than, for instance, Metric's or anyone else on that list... So, it was an obvious pick, I think.Marianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6395294324589385160.post-27198666384650053822009-10-02T21:05:44.594-04:002009-10-02T21:05:44.594-04:00your taste in music is sub-paryour taste in music is sub-parKurtishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14643174580755797413noreply@blogger.com
