      I really enjoyed both this and the Deafheaven episode. Great picks from both, some stuff I've heard of, and some cool sounding stuff I'm going to definitely check out. I really liked that he picked up a Dino jr. record, the last Deafheaven record definitely forayed into that 90's grunge/noise rock sound. If nu-metal can make a comeback, then why can't 90s noise stuff?

He was able to speak his mind without holding back about things he loves and completely fleshed out his taste in all types of music, videogames and movies with a few tasteful picks.

      P33 interesting. Musically they are quite different. Alcest uses mostly Natural minor and Dorian modes in their songs, while Opeth is all over the place but generally harmonic minor, diminished, etc. So generally the point I meant is that opeth is more dissonant and dark, alcest is significantly more melodic and ambient

    • @Doomsterlobster
      @Doomsterlobster 5 років тому +1

      Original? It's only the biggest alt/indie/music nerd bands of the 90s and 00s, and a few well-known contemporaries connected to the band. What list by a 30-something pop music geek doesn't include Massive Attack, Dead Can Dance, Slowdive, Dinosaur Jr., Björk and at least some of the big crescendowanker post-rock bands? All it's missing is some Radiohead, My Bloody Valentine, GY!BE, and Have A Nice Life, ffs.
      I'm not knocking on the list, I found it very high quality but not exactly original or surprising. There was absolutely nothing (apart from the soundtracks) I wasn't already familiar with (except with the Chameleons only by name). And I am NOT a huge Alcest fan or particularly diehard about this type of music specifically.
