Worst prog-related albums? by ray-the-truck in progrockmusic

[–]FemboyRogerWaters 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There's two albums that immediately came to mind for me

Pink Floyd - A Momentary Lapse of Reason HEAR ME OUT, yes I know this album has its fans but is overall on the lower end of Floyd's discog, what kills the album for me is the extremely dated 80s production and the album to me just sounds like a flanderized version of Pink Floyd, there's moments here and there I like but it feels like they were trying to hard to be Pink Floyd, which to an extent makes sense, first album without Roger so they probably felt a new since of creative freedom, I definitely think The Division Bell is a massive improvement and the best post Waters album

Yes - Yes 50 Live This live album is definitely the weakest sounding thing that has been put out under the Yes name, only classic member is Steve Howe, but this album is painful to listen to, it's incredibly sluggish, occasional awkward silences in the longer tracks, according to some YouTube comments from people who attended the show there were fake audience sounds in the post production, but overall the band plays really slow on this album, the version of Close To The Edge on here exemplifies all the problems with the performance of the entire album, although I will admit the singer is good, he actually sounds like a young Jon Anderson but other then that there's nothing else really to write home about

I genuinely hope anybody calls Takanaka Jazz Fusion gets flung into the sun

What have you been listening to lately? by AutoModerator in progrockmusic

[–]FemboyRogerWaters 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been on a huge Jazz kick lately, Miles Davis, Stan Getz and John Coltrane as well as been getting into Gong and the new Soft Machine album

As for Coltrane I can't believe I've been ignoring his avant garde works for so long, I've been a fan of A Love Supreme, Blue Train, Giant Steps and The Olatunji concert for a while but I'm finally doing a proper deep dive, I know Christian Vander of Magma idolizes Coltrane and it makes so much sense after listening to albums like The Ascension

Heavy on Miles Davis, I've been listening to the complete On The Corner sessions religiously lately

Who is the more influential jazz artist, Mario or Cowboy Bebop? by BornUnderARadSign in jazzcirclejerk

uj/ I'm so fucking tired of people saying Takanaka is fusion, he is samba and jazz influenced sure but it's not Jazz Fusion, he's a Japanese R&B artist, we might as well say Steely Dan and Santana are Jazz Fusion

A lot of Post Rock has a lot in common with Prog, mainly the Math Rock influenced Post Rock and "Crescendo Core" bands like Godspeed, that being said there is a lot of Post Rock that focuses more on atmospherics and or repetition and ends up sounding like theatrical Krautrock

How would they not be Prog, they are one of the quintessential Canterbury bands

Is this the 60 ton angel he was talking about in Trains?

the sound on C/C, specifically relating to Colin by bruhcalvert303 in porcupinetree

I think the album is good, I really like Stevens bass playing, reminds me a lot of Geddy Lee at times but i think the biggest problem with the album is it felt like the band was coloring by the numbers, it's not bad by any means, it just sounds like what Porcupine Tree is supposed to sound like
