Talk Talk - AFTER THE FLOOD - 1991

Of course earlier stuff is better. I rarely listen to new music myself so I can attest to that. The point is bands are influenced by previous generations bands and absorb elements of their sounds, whether they are better or not is irrelevant. Do you just open your mouth to make yourself feel intelligent?

Right they started post-rock, so they were "ahead of their time" as I said. What is your point?

Okay so did I ask if you think they are on the same level, you smug little puke? I don't even like this ambient cunt rock in the first place I was merely saying that its amazing how this came out at this time, and I can see the influence and apparently so can you so what exactly is your counter? Next time you decide to open that condescening mouth of yours better have a reason.

i see people saying about lots of bands "they were ahead of their time etc" all the time, but I don't really see how that makes any sense in music and art, where sometimes earlier stuff are better. Talk Talk basically started all the post-rock thing, so they were the first.

No shit it influenced those bands, but personally I think neither GYBE or Mogwaii ever reached their level. The only band that is up there with Talk Talk that I can think of is Cul De Sac and 70s krautrock bands, which you can say were "ahead of their time".

ascension day,AFTER THE FLOOD (the cleansing),taphead, and new found hope, New Grass....talk talk's legacy is unmatched.

not a real big fan of this but i can't believe how ahead of its time it was. Sounds so much like more modern bands, and its amazing they were doing this stuff in 1991!

what modern bands sound like this?!!! they are ahead of everyone, there is no band that can be compared to them dude

Ummm....okay. The atmosphere of this album sounds much like a Mogwai or Godspeed You Black Emperor. Of course it's not EXACTLY like modern bands, but you can clearly see and influence, my point was it was very much ahead of its time and influenced a lot of the music of today. Get your dick outta their butt for five seconds and maybe you could see that!

this is the best album i've heard, fucking mind blowing.
