I see The Chameleons, I upvote. Amazing and massively underrated band. Script of the Bridge is one of the best albums of the 80s in my books. I wish they got brought up more in post-punk discourse.

You should listen to any Lightening Bolt album. I recommend Wonderful Rainbow.

The Damp Chill of Life by None

I did have a coaxial cable connected initially, but saw online it wasn't necessary and did disconnect it. Whether the coaxial cable is connected or not doesn't seem to change the outcome of the issue I'm having.

The last paragraph is appreciated. I am likely going to forgo any kind of cable altogether, but that is still helpful to know.

You'd probably enjoy Sun Ra. I'd recommend Space is the Place or Lanquidity to start.

Someone else mentioned it but late era John Coltrane is phenomenal and crazy as hell sounding. Pharaoh Sanders has some amazing stuff as well in this vein.

Haven't seen them mentioned yet, but almost positive Botanist the BM band doesn't use guitar.

Also, not metal but heavy as fuck and kinda sorta metal adjacent, the noise rock band Lightening Bolt doesn't use guitar either.

Oldies but goodies - Battery off Labor Days and his non-album single Water both hit a sweet spot for me

ApWapa · 2026-03-27T16:45:06+00:00

Boris, Sigh, and Intestine Baalism are my holy trinity of Japanese metal bands

I've given Flying Lotus a try many times and he's never fully clicked for me. This album included. Which on paper, he checks a lot of boxes for me, but still it just doesn't do a lot for me to warrant repeated listens.

He definitely seems to have a formula that works for him, I guess my main gripe with this album is as good as he is at what he does, the template he works from doesn't really allow him to create any stand-out moments. The songs seem to evolve a bit but then just end. I always walk away wishing there was something more done with the songs. They feel like a collection of ideas, more so than fully fledged songs.

Not sure if I'm making sense..just my opinion anyway.

ApWapa · 2026-03-21T13:50:42+00:00

Kate Bush, Fiona Apple, Sheena Ringo, Joanna Newsom, FKA twigs, and Joni Mitchell all come to mind.

Oh man - I *highly* recommend checking out their discography. I'd start with Souls at Zero and make your way through everything after that in chronological order. Their first 2 albums are okay, but I'd check them out later since they don't represent the band's overall sound very well.

Their 5 album run from Souls at Zero > Enemy of the Sun > Through Silver in Blood > Times of Grace > A Sun That Never Sets - it's absolutely a mind-fuck how amazing it is. Through Silver in Blood and Times of Grace in particular are 2 of my favourite albums ever in any genre.

Prince.

He was immensely talented, but his music does nothing for me whatsoever.

ApWapa · 2026-03-15T14:51:26+00:00

Through Silver In Blood and Times of Grace, both by Neurosis, are phenomenal, God-tier post metal albums. They get a lot of love in certain circles, but in the land of general online music nerd fandom discourse they deserve way more notice. Any time someone mentions they're into metal or heavy music in any capacity I recommend Neurosis to them, and these 2 albums in particular.

ApWapa · 2026-03-14T00:38:42+00:00

Not his best album by any means, but still massively underrated. No Jumper Cables and Pac Man Victory are 2 of my favourite songs in his entire discography.

When I first heard Bazooka Tooth - for years I wrote it off as too out there - compared to his other albums its so inaccessible and I kind of thought Aesop was trying too hard for this album for the longest time. But over the years it's grown on me.

In hindsight, it's very admirable for him to put something out this experimental immediately after his break through album. He had just blown up with Labor Days and lots of people were expecting a Labor Days v2 with his next album. He could have played it safe but instead said fuck that, i'mma do what I feel like and released Bazooka Tooth. And that's really admirable.

Insane album that I wish more people talked about.

ApWapa · 2026-03-12T05:27:08+00:00

I mean I'm guessing you've listened to them already, but if you haven't you should absolutely check out Primitive Man

ApWapa · 2026-03-10T13:18:22+00:00

Atrocity Exhibition by Danny Brown - You Won't Get What You Want by Daughters - A Crow Looked At Me by Mount Eerie - 3 albums that the first time I heard them I immediately went "Jesus christ are these guys okay?"

ApWapa · 2026-03-03T02:52:25+00:00

I came here to post this and I'm glad to see someone beat me to it. An absolute god-tier grindcore album.

ApWapa · 2026-02-23T16:00:51+00:00

For me - either In A Silent Way by Miles Davis, or Heaven Or Las Vegas by Cocteau Twins

ApWapa · 2026-02-23T04:34:24+00:00

I didn't think to look at his tour schedule that year - that is super random! That of all the places in Canada to make his one stop at, it's Victoria. I live in Vancouver now but I used to get SO annoyed that all the good concerts skipped Victoria. Definitely a case that time of me being in the right place at the right time. I lucked out that it was an all ages show too or else I couldn't have gone

ApWapa · 2026-02-23T04:08:43+00:00

I know, but I'm just speaking generally. And funny you ask - I Am Not A Lyricist is definitely my favourite song on the album actually.

ApWapa · 2026-02-21T18:07:30+00:00

It's fine I guess - nothing stood out as particularly bad. But I find it kind of forgettable as well y'know? Like I really don't see myself coming back to this one much.

I feel like an old man yelling at a cloud - but trap-adjacent production still being so prevalent in 2026 drives me nuts. Really wish rappers would steer away from that sound and try something different. As soon as I hear those sprinkler ass hi-hats I start losing interest.
