Your favorite tepid funk terds!
- Thread starter faux_rillz
- Start date
Although faux gets credit for starting the thread, I get credit for mentioning Archie Whitewater. And no it's not really funk, but I had to share my hatt somewhere and this seemed to be the best place. Before I posted it here I thought I was the ONLY person on soulstrut who considered this a $60 Blood Sweat and Tears record. Now I know that I'm not alone and it makes me feel better inside.
Oliver as usual you are missing the point, that terd mentality is a subtle form of coersion / oppression and people have to fight back when it seems like they are the only ones who don't like something. It isn't about negativity but getting it off your chest that you are not part of the terd.

"a subtle form of coersion/oppression"? Dude, c'mon. Even I, who overstate everything, would balk at this characterization. It's just opinions about records; no one's forcing anyone to go out and buy (or not buy) anything.

You guys are confusing me. What's happening in here? Soulstrut is getting crazier each day. Strange stuff. I'm translating most of this into German and it ends up in nonsense. Is it me or you?

Oliver,
I am sorry if I got off tangent in this thread, but it's not like this was a wholly serious prospect from the jump. This was one of those threads that questions the veracity of something that is super subjective, collector tastes and trends. There are so many people here who are coming at music from so many different places and perspectives. Without a place to question these perspectives and aesthetic references, it is really easy to fall into the trap of believing that everyone has a similar opinion or frame of reference. That's why I love these types of discussions. They really open up a window to WHY people come to the conclusions they do and what moves them/doesn't move them. It ain't personal, and to me the only wrong answers are thinking that you know it all for everyone else.
I would rather see 10 contentious threads like this than one more vomitous-jpeg-orgy-I-love-every-fucking-jazz-LP-ever-released-spooj-a-thon. Boooooring. No offense to whoever started these, but 10 "recommend-me-an-'insert-genre-here'-LP" is just not needed on even Record Day!
shit, I love the "What's Up Front That Counts" lp. Pretty unique sound they had on that record, their best effort imho. In my mind garden I would even deem it as a "classic".
so sue me
p.s. doo wop disco!

Birdman,
I'd totally agree with you except that I don't hear a lot of explaining as to what makes an album tepid or not. Most of the replies here have been "I think this is boring" vs. "But wait, I really like this." I think the only LP that really got people to step up was that Archie Whitewater which, as most have argued, is sort of misclassified here since it's not a "funk" album in any real way, shape or form.
In any case, the terd mentality around these parts, these days is that funky = wack (or at least, way overrated). So this whole thread is basically "let's confirm that most funky LPs are, in actuality, wack." Except for Kool and the Gang's first LP. And the Meters' Josie LPs.
Jury is still out over "Trouble Man." I'm with JP on that one though. Album is great.
