Absolute garbage, is this supposed to be a joke

because it's irredeemable trash of no discernible merit?

we get it. you got filtered

filtered out of a PILE of SHIT

tell that to any musician and they'd laugh at you.

musicians are gay

The people that like this album only like it because it gives them internet cred. It’s objectively shit, off-key, terrible music. There’s no redeeming qualities, it’s just shit. Screeching “LE FILTERED XD” like a fucking dumbass does nothing, it’s shit. I don’t care if it’s “supposed to be shit xD” or not.

too deep for you

this is probably one of the most overplayed opinions on this board, so no one is probably going to bother prove to you why it was one of the most influential and innovative albums of all time. Which is also why any musician would rather laugh at you, because you are only capable of digesting this record from a surface level.

muh "polyrhythm" is code for disharmonious cacophany

Go back to Radiohead.

lol pretentious fags in the comments saying how good this is even though its intentionally supposed to sound bad

>influence
The shaggs were influential to many artists doesn’t make them good. Musicians are not like the people on Yas Forums, most of them think this shits pathetic

China Pig is litteraly the best song of all time

Just listened to this album again
Thanks for the reminder OP

I prefer Moonlight in Vermont

Close second

Why do newfags keep on making these pointless threads? Just lurk more until you're not newfags anymore, it's not that complicated, stop shitting up the board.

Beatles were influential and yet their music was mediocre. Influence is an objective quality of music that isn't entirely based upon the content itself.
Innovation is the most important quality of course, and TMR did nothing but that. Probably why you didn't mention it. The Shaggs had little to none.

This reads like a Scaruffi shitpost. Anyway The Shaggs sort of pioneered that lo-fi twee sound that Beat Happening would end up perfecting, they definitely did something fresh at the time.

scaruffi reviews music in the least abstract way possible. if you really wondered why people disregard The Shaggs and praise TMR just read his reviews.

He just says they're technically incompetent, and makes the same point I did. They're influential precisely due to being completely childlike and incompetent, I'd say he's wrong here for disregarding them.

Don't know what to tell ya buddy, listen to a bit more music and expand your taste. From the looks of it you don't seem very open to that anyways so just stick to whatever it is you like. No need to make yourself look ignorant in the meantime...

This

Can you provide examples of all these famous musician friends of yours that "think this shits pathetic"?

Shaggs are only interesting as outsider art. The fact that they accidentally found a sound people hadn't come up with before is nothing but an accident of history.

never said he disregarded them
>stands out as one of the most incompetent musical works of the time.
but you can see now why everyone else did.

So? They still did it, it was new, it was influential, lots of great art is made by accident.
