So stoked to see Cardiacs on here! I disagree with your opinion (they are my favorite band so I’m biased) but happy to see them here nontheless. I think it’s not just how zany it is that appeals to me, but that underneath its surface presentation there are beautiful melodies, excellent song writing and instrumentation and musicianship, and there’s a deeper sort of sensibility to me that resonates with me, more than just being random and spastic rock music. But maybe your shoutout will bring some new fans! one can only hope :)

[@grimblegrumble]

Precisely what you said!

[@chrisc5029]

i have never heard the Cardiacs before last night, but i have to agree. this album has a very narrower following that is apparently an acquired taste. i think it is one of the most amazing records i have ever heard, and deserves much wider appreciation.

[@Lucas-dy5mt]

Boards of Canada "The Campfire Headphase", it got some really good songs like Chromatic Dreamcoat and the album is forgotten because of "Geogaddi" and "Music has the right to children", those albums are great but Campfire Headphase deserves a little more of recognition in my opinion.

I’m a huge John fan and his solo stuff in general is extremely underrated, but Niandra Lades is at the bottom of the barrel for me and same with smile. Anything he did between To Record Water For Ten Days through The Empyrean would make for a better case for being underrated than his 90s albums.

I'm glad both Naked City and Cardiacs got some attention, but comparing them seems a bit weird considering that one sounds like a blend of jazz and grindcore while the other is more Punk meets Prog. Also, Cardiacs formed in 1977 and were more likely an influence on Naked City than the other way around. Still, great shoutouts!

Hail to the Thief by Radiohead. Is often dismissed as a Proto-In Rainbows, and in many aspects this is true. But the album is much more. It has an unique personality, it's arguably the band's biggest political statement and has some of the best songwriting in the band's discography. And 2+2=5 is their best opener ever

[@benpugsley296]

[@sabe11a39]

Why are you comparing Sing to God to Naked City? Naked City is a collection of minute-long avant-garde jazz and grindcore freakouts. Aside from both being experimental there's not really much that links those two albums... Plus Cardiacs have records that predate Naked City and Zorn has records that predate those Cardiacs records and so on and so on. It's not like they're two artists from totally different eras, they're both from the early to mid '80s. I'm sorry Anthony, but I declare shenanigans on that opinion.

[@corruptedmilk2481]

It was a bad take but hey, at least Cardiacs got a mention

[@tmthycnnlly]

I can understand the hokiness complaint at least, even though I personally prefer the cardiacs over the constant genre switches of Naked city. Could never get into constant genre switching stuff it always comes off as a gimmick.

[@freakingjames1820]

He tried to compare them because he though the tweet was somehow saying cardiacs is more abrasive than a lot of bands before their time. And I honestly can't see how he can possibly interpret in that way

[@k-leb4671]

Cardiacs are from 1977.

[@Evildandalo]

I really appreciate The Cardigans section at the end. Emmerdale is one of my favorite albums and Lovefool will be my guilty pleasure till I die.

[@brendanspaulding7930]

Yeah I really appreciated it too. Those first 3 albums along with the mentioned one in the video are killer

[@kmcorrea5805]

Lovefool is a perfect pop song

[@toddbridgemanart]

Cardiacs are by far my favorite band, but I think that's mostly because I explored every nook and cranny of Tim's brilliance on several other projects he's been a part of. I did a cover of one of my favorite songs of all time, "Don't You Ail, Flash the Sea to Steam". There's probably a KZbin video of it somewhere if anyone is curious. If you know what's good for you, just listen to the original and skip my cover. I found this review because a fellow Cardiacs fan was freaking out about you saying anything negative about the record on Facebook, which I think is pretty ridiculous. Everyone comes from their own frame of reference. There isn't really a right or wrong when it comes to art. What surprised me was when you said you thought it was OK. I've never heard a lukewarm reaction to Cardiacs before. It seemed like people either loved them or hated them because they can be a bit extreme at times, as you mentioned in your video. I listened to and played a lot of metal as a teenager, so I'm guessing my tolerance for noise is probably a little higher than normal - whatever "normal" is. Anyway, thanks for even mentioning the record. I hope more people will at least give it a chance because their music can be pretty life-changing for some people (like me). I haven't listened to John Zorn in a long time, so I'm going to hunt down that Naked City record you mentioned and give it another listen.

[@justingrignon8749]

I'm a big fan too. Stepping away from it, I can understand being lukewarm. The album is really long, and probably feels longer if you are put off by Tim's voice, or prog fiddling. I also reject notions that no one can say anything bad about them. Sometimes it feels like prog fans judge regular people who don't "get it," as if they are failing themselves by expressing a contrary opinion. I still think the band is immensely underrated, but it just took me a long time to find them. And when you bring The Sea Nymphs into the question, there is no question that they are unusually obscure. Not to mention the brilliant lyrics, which even some fans forget to mention. Tim was a brilliant workaholic.

[@HankSasquatch]

Pretty well rated though. Got a lot of indie buzz when it came out and made it on best of the decade lists. That said I think it was released when soul revival was really booming, and the staleness of the genre these days may be contributing to it's slight fade from glory.

[@DeflatingAtheism]

At the height of the psychedelic rock phase, the Kinks went decidedly anti-psychedelic with Village, which is why it might be overlooked in the era.

It was written was my introduction to Nas, funny thing was that I was fairly young and it was the first hiphop album I ever owned and Wass also my introduction into hiphop. It's funny that when the album came out I remember a lot of reviews were lukewarm to okay about the album. I remember there being a lot of talk about how he had sold out because the album sounded like money with the production being what it is. Over the years, although I love some of his more classic albums, this one in particular holds a special spot in my heart. Love your take on the album.

[@GabrielSanchez-wh8xm]

Death Magnetic by Metallica is extremely underrated. It has some amazing riffs like the ones in "All Nightmare Long", "Cyanide" and "That was just your life" to give a few. The unforgiven III is at the level of the first one. I can say that is easily the best metallica record post "black album

[@osamayomama]

[@aaronmcdermitt9179]

The quote was that Sing to God was beyond anything THEY had done before, not beyond anything ANYONE had ever done before. Though even so, you'd be hard pressed to find an album so imaginative, creative, zany and chaotic as Sing to God. It's probably the best album of all time.

[@FELCommentary]

Yes, I genuinely think it's a 10 and the best thing they've made since City of Evil. I made a top 100 songs of the decade playlist and Exist ended up being my favorite song after Kanye's Runaway

[@chazhook4477]

Absolutely. I seem to listen to it at least once a month.

You'll never listen to my messages about Streetlight Manifesto's 'Everything Goes Numb' as a masterpiece because of your deep resentment towards Ska.

[@paulmoore5392]

Don’t know if you’ve talked about this band too much, but would love to hear a Sonic Youth: Worst to Best. Really only heard the hits Teen Age Riot and Kool Thing and some other tracks off of Daydream Nation. Been diving into their other stuff and have loved stuff off their older albums like Evol.

[@joshuajones2360]

Have you listened to Sister? Their best album, in my opinion.

[@paulmoore5392]

Joshua Jones a little bit. As of right now, have definitely given a deeper dive the aforementioned Evol, Bad Moon Rising, Master-Dik and Dirty. As of right now off of Sister, mainly listened to Beauty Lies In The Eye, but will definitely listen to more. As of right now, although I do still really like Daydream Nation and will say it’s probably still say it’s my favourite of theirs, I can’t deny Death To Our Friends, Green Light and Marilyn Moore off Evol amongst the other tracks

[@miguelm.5275]

The Residents' discography as a whole is amazingly underrated. Being active for 40+ years and you don't see them even being considered. Although I can see why...

[@Nicholas.Murdoch]

Trompe Le Monde by the Pixies for me. People generally overlook it because Kim Deal’s backing vocals aren’t as prominent as other Pixies records but I love it and it has some of the best pixies tracks in my opinion.

[@guzzopinc1646]

both Digable Planets albums deserve more credit. they both get a lot of respect but I think they are both borderline masterpieces that people could and should still learn more from today... the lyrics take rap in a serious poetic direction that I wish other rappers picked up on.

[@basman2006]

Cocteau twins - Victorialand. An underrated band but especially this album. They are either remembered for their gothic sounds and dream pop but this was an album creating moods and ethereal sounds well before talk talk started creating the beginnings of post rock.

[@alejandroarizpe3226]

Glad you put "Angelic 2 the Core" here. Such an underappreciated project.

[@thesensiblesocialist]

I think Tom Waits is kind of like the Beatles in that there are fans of his that specifically like his early 'sad, barfly ballad' stuff or specifically like his later experimental albums. And, kind of like the Beatles, it seems like most people who want to cover him fall into the former category.

[@drcaughlin]

RZA’s Bobby Digital in Stereo is severely underrated even amongst Wu-Tang fans.

[@mariosuena]

Any Depeche Mode album besides “Violator” before Alan Wilder left in my opinion. “Music for the masses”, “Black Celebration”, and “People Are People” are just so good

[@derrickgoble8976]

If “Starsailor” by Tim Buckley isn’t on here imma riot Edit: looks like it’s riot time

[@FucklesTheEnchilada]

Tim Buckley in general is underrated. He definitely deserves more discussion.

[@andreeee98]

Buckley's 1967-1971 discography is a music miracle imo.

[@DrSpikeSpiegel]

Starsailor is his most well known album, and can hardly be called underrated.

[@rebeccahopkins9522]

Here are my top 6 (I had to add one more because I couldn’t definitively decide that 5th one 😂) most underrated albums IMO 1. Mos Def- The New Danger (my favorite rap album of all time), AND The Ecstatic. Mos Def does NOT get the recognition he deserves. In my all time top 2 favorite MC’s to ever pick up a mic. 2. Geto Boys- We Can’t Be Stopped- I feel like even in their day, they were maligned, misunderstood, and completely overshadowed by the forces of nature and fate that were the Biggie/Pac years. When actually, they were artists before they’re time. Now they’re all but forgotten. But this is horrorcore perfection, truly a perfect album. 3. Santigold- Santogold- This extremely gifted, beautifully skilled singer songwriter and highly original artist is horribly underrated and under known. This album though? It’s a masterpiece. 4. Yeah Yeah Yeahs- It’s Blitz!- In a post punk world, it’s actually NYC’s Karen O who reigns supreme in her queendom 👑 to sum up this particular album (and they have some incredible albums) in one word: BRILLIANT. And horribly underrated. The whole band is underrated and under known actually. Criminally so. 5. Kings Of Leon- Come Around Sundown- Widely known as the band who has Sex On Fire (yes, that’s a double 😂), it’s actually this album that serves as their most underrated, under appreciated, and under known. When it’s the most incredible journey to go on. LOVE this album. It’s just gorgeous music…where “California (is always) Waiting” 6. The Shins- Wincing The Night Away- This is a band that remains underrated to this day. So rare is it that I hear someone mention them, that I remember the measly two instances when they did 😂. This album. Oh my lord. Words are insufficient to describe the superior cerebral trip this alt band takes you on with an album that you literally cannot help but close your eyes to and get lost in. It’s incredibly magical & dreamy. Perfect use of Synth and sound, haunting vocals that soar, lyrics that get way down in your core, it’s literally a perfect album. Inspired by the band’s primary singer/songwriter’s lifelong chronic insomnia (I relate 10,000%), this concept album is truly one of the best, most underrated and forgotten alt rock albums to come out of the 00’s. However, the album’s music remains fresh and undated, and incredibly timeless. I don’t use this term lightly and always sparingly, but this criminally under mentioned album is ICONIC. A MASTERPIECE. ONE OF THE GENRE’S GREATEST ALBUMS OF ALL TIME. If you’ve never heard it, give your ears the gasm they’ve been longing for. I promise, you won’t regret it; it’s breathtakingly beautiful and brilliant. Honorable Mentions, and just like the above, they’re all albums I ❤️- Stereo Lab*Dots And Loops, La Roux*La Roux, Shabazz Palaces*Lese Majesty, Placebo*Meds, Prince*Under The Cherry Moon (soundtrack), Led Zeppelin*In Through The Out Door, The White Stripes*Get Behind Me Satan, *Fleetwood Mac*Tango In The Night, Queens Of The Stone Age*Era Vulgaris, Stone Temple Pilots*No. 4. And finally, I’m going to stop writing. If you made it this far, give yourself a frikin medal; I know I wrote a novel that exactly zero people asked for. 😂this was fun though. Hopefully he’ll do this listing again one day and I can copy and paste all this 💩 and post it to him 🤣for now though, I’m gonna go listen to The Shins-Wincing The Night Away. Talking about it made me want to hear it right now. Suchhhh a great album 👍🏼

CARDIACS SHOULD BE EVERYONE'S FAVORITE BAND'S FAVORITE BAND

[@k-leb4671]

They're one of one of my favourite band's favourite bands. (one of my favourite bands being Blur)

[@Risviltsov]

I'd argue for Bowery Electric's 1995 album, "Bowery Electric" as one of the most underrated shoegaze and drone albums of all time. It's one of my favorite albums of all time (currently rated 4th on my chart, as we speak). The textures achieved in the album, alongside the bass work, are incredible. The moods and images that the album evokes lets it compare itself to Loveless. "Beat" is well-received, but I believe it's slightly worse than their 1995 effort. I'd also argue for Drop Nineteen's "Mayfield" demo from 1991. When it gets remastered, it will be on par with the shoegaze trifecta of albums. It's one of the dreamiest albums ever made and the vocals reinforce the emotional tracks well. Finally, Tangerine Dream's "Alpha Centauri" is, in my opinion, one of the best krautrock and ambient albums ever made. It's an experience, rather than a musical production, and it's a very epic and one-of-a-kind one. It is the album that made me a music person.

[@LuciusGeronimo]

Definitely My Chemical Romance's debut album, I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love. I don't deny that WTTBP is more influential and will always be regarded as an emo pop classic, but their debut is absolutely fucking raw. The story telling is great, sometimes can be pretty eerie, which i like and the screamo/post hardcore style of the album influenced a lot of upcoming screamo/post hardcore bands with their DIY raw style of punk.

[@batman-sr2px]

Definitely. Its a shame that other MCR fans don't really like it, really only the people that listen to the harsher posthardcore/emo style dig it.

[@LuciusGeronimo]

@@batman-sr2px I love that it's produced by Geoff Rickly from Thursday. The similarities are definitely there.

[@WraithTimid]

I've always felt that Prefuse 73's One Word Extinguisher is a pretty underrated classic. Don't quote me on this, but he's gotta be one of the pioneers of the glitch-hop sound, and I think that album went on to influence a lot more producers and bands than most people probably give it credit for. Definitely my favorite of his records.

[@turboshazed7370]

[@corruptedmilk2481]

Bad take on Cardiacs but damn, nice to see them get mentioned. Given the history of the band and in the context of the rest of their work and who they've influenced I think regarding Sing To God as a very underrated album is fair. Especially given that NME gave it 0/10 when it was released.

[@sammo2560]

So awesome to see love for Cardiacs too

[@_-KR-_]

I have heard of Stereolab once or twice, but never delved in... Thanks to whoever suggested this I can't stop hearing various familiar components to other music I listen to, most specifically a lot of the instrument palet matches Grimace Federation. I put on Dots and Loops, and it hasn't lost a day in age, holy hell. Now digesting it every few minutes another song by another artist pops into mind which shares elements with something from Dots&Loops.

To me one of the most underrated albums ever is Nomad's Revenge by Billain, it is accompanied by a cyberpunk short story and it's sound is unlike anything I've ever heard. Incredible production quality- true sci-fi neurofunk. It is out of a very small subgerne of drum & bass, which in itself is a very polarizing gerne of electronic music.
