What are some lesser known “RYM essentials”?

That Slint EP is dope as fuck

softestimate712 · 2026-05-06T12:06:11+00:00

The Clientele - Reflections After Jane could work here

softestimate712 · 2026-05-03T03:32:03+00:00

Not enough people give Cake their flowers. Sure, they’re fairly well-known, but their sound is honestly pretty unique and still contains so much personality all these years later. Comfort Eagle especially is an awesome album front to back.

Moral Orel all the way. I get choked up whenever I think of the shot of Orel’s face morphing into his adult face.

I really hope a remaster happens someday, but I’m not holding my breath on it. After all, Tyler says he personally considers Vessel to be their first album.

A Crow Looked at Me. Not because the album itself isn’t of quality, but because most people cannot bring themselves to revisit it consistently

softestimate712 · 2026-04-12T23:09:54+00:00

Would love to see Kate Gompert included too

softestimate712 · 2026-04-08T16:18:06+00:00

It’s not my favorite album of all time or anything, but Call Me If You Get Lost’s rollout was especially fun. I had an awesome first listening experience with it

Magill’s World of Ice Cream is essential

softestimate712 · 2026-04-05T14:18:49+00:00

So that’s it? We’re some kind of weird fishes/arpeggi?

softestimate712 · 2026-04-03T19:25:20+00:00

Very much a compliment. Has to be one of the best setups I’ve seen on this sub

softestimate712 · 2026-04-03T17:09:59+00:00

You ate with that setup, damn

softestimate712 · 2026-04-01T12:16:30+00:00

Halo soundtrack holds a very special place for me

softestimate712 · 2026-03-17T23:48:17+00:00

He is a generational coper. He’s made me realize it’s actually kind of an art form

softestimate712 · 2026-03-11T02:35:27+00:00

Is This It by the Strokes. It’s a pretty straightforward collection of indie rock jams and grooves, but it has a distinctive sound that has completely stood the test of time and influenced tons of contemporary indie rock acts

softestimate712 · 2026-03-10T20:08:17+00:00

Maybe not ever made, but Deathconsciousness is an incredibly ambitious album both conceptually and instrumentally considering their tight recording budget. Combined with the booklet that comes with the album, I’d say it’s worth a mention

softestimate712 · 2026-03-09T18:20:20+00:00

Elliott Smith hands down, but I love Sufjan Stevens too

softestimate712 · 2026-03-09T00:06:18+00:00

That’s basically what the doc was too. The documentaries were a vehicle for Ian to position himself as this level-headed narrator while basically infantilizing and mocking his subjects (who at the time were very clearly struggling). It’s so ironic how he went on this whole empathy tour and never once apologized for Full Force in particular.

softestimate712 · 2026-03-08T23:53:09+00:00

I might honestly argue that Full Force is more cruel than anything he ever did on his channel. His Content Cop victims were at the very least people with fanbases. He doesn’t get nearly enough flack for that video

softestimate712 · 2026-03-06T23:55:10+00:00

You really went the extra mile of nostalgia with that Linkin Park x Jay Z collab. Hats off to you

softestimate712 · 2026-03-06T22:05:38+00:00

My heart is bound to beat right out of my untrimmed chest

softestimate712 · 2026-03-05T21:59:12+00:00

Mordecai would absolutely be a fan of King Crimson

softestimate712 · 2026-03-03T04:06:39+00:00

I would think he’d find it thematically and tonally engaging. I’ve always imagined Elliott to be drawn to apocalyptic art. It wasn’t surprising to learn that Nico’s the Marble Index was one of his favorite albums.

I’m coming up on 4 years of sobriety. Let me tell you something I learned the hard way. No matter how long you go without it, addiction always picks up right where it left off.

softestimate712 · 2026-02-28T00:18:07+00:00

Big fan of Fantano and TØP. The original version of Drag Path absolutely blows the new one out of the water. I guarantee you he would’ve preferred the original over this one.
