Go ahead. I'm in, but only if we make the trenches with trash bags... I'll bring them.

to briefly summarize: the guitar is very prominent, the kick drum sounds like a ping pong ball, the bass is tinny, with vocals and keyboard standing out... perhaps the mastering is cut on the high end?

Sure! Please provide the text you'd like me to translate into English.

You are one of the best. No bullshit.

The Giunti atlas was the pinnacle of life at thirteen; who knows where it has ended up now. Anyway, the Wipers are the first, not just from a mere qualitative standpoint (it wouldn't take much when compared to Green River)... this is evidenced not by the Giunti encyclopedia but by the shirts of J Mascis, the covers of Thurston Moore, the covers by Nirvana or Melvins. Blackdog, the championship is marked... this and the next three. Haloa

Wipers - Is It Real? ...1979, holy Christ.

I replied to you in private.

A significant factor is that the 2000s are still ongoing. If you think about it, even the 1990s didn't undergo a sword of Damocles, not of historical revisionism, but of simple cynical evaluation, detached from sentimentalism. The 1980s are mandatory, and that's why healthy individuals remember the 80s not for synth pop, but for the American underground... when some time passes, with a cool mind and subdued memories, nothing will remain of the various Smashing Pumpkins, Pearl Jam, or Stone Temple Pilots, or what will remain is simply what they are, that is, major-label bands, crafted on the drawing board for everyone's wallets... and so from a hundred groups, twenty will remain... in short, the 90s are still remembered for goosebumps-inducing bands and not for quality, so much so that many of the bands I consider valid from the 90s don't even have a dedicated page on Debaser... as for the 2000s, I don't know... it will take much longer, partly because there’s more to listen to, just from a quantitative standpoint, and then because these things come out without anyone noticing; I believe this is due to the fact that labels around the world are now just criminal associations, not of a mafia type, but almost... a big mess, in short. Time will tell :)

Easy, I think you won't find a suitable interlocutor. I don’t like Spiderland, I like Loveless, but slowly, slowly. I prefer conservative screams to Nevermind (conservatism understood in the Rehberg sense) over all avant-gardes. The fact remains, however, that this album, released by Atlantic, is out of print, while Novelty and Grippe, released by Dischord, are still available. Then, my personal opinion is that it doesn’t matter who you record for, but how you do it and why you do it... if Sonic Youth, after years and years of hard work, just like Dinosaur, reach major labels, that’s one thing... if you get there with your first album (all the shitty bands of the nineties hit major labels with their first album) there’s something wrong. There’s something beneath it that makes me hesitate from the start. You might tell me that it's an extremist concept... and thank God it is :)
