when did it ever go away
Christopher Jones
Ok, now it makes sense. The thread may proceed upon this basis.
Isaac Williams
What's with people not liking BC/NR's sophomore album here?
Jose Bell
it's okay, liked it more than their debut and can see what's to like about it sure, but it's simply not rock so including it in this statement is plain incorrect
Jose Stewart
It's more rock than Time Skiffs is. The album with Basketball Shoes is less appropriate here than the one with We Go Back?
All of the records here are great except for the Merzbow one; Skinty Fia or the Deathcrash album should be there instead.
Ryder Ward
What would you call it then? I agree it's definitely not Art Rock or Post-Rock this time around though
Can't speak on Time Skiffs (never finished it), but the whole Ants From Up There is really toned down opting for a more mellow vibe which can go matching with the climax of these songs
Kayden Phillips
I don't say it's not rock, it's just unremarkable through and through. Shouldn't even be in the conversation about rock coming back, bands have been releasing mediocre stuff for years.
Gabriel Hall
for me, it's Mush

turns out, as well as by inventing a new subgenre or discovering a new way to play an instrument, rock music can also be good just by having big chunky riffs and being fun

>rock music can also be good just by having big chunky riffs and being fun
Agreed, user, but what does Mush have to do with good rock music?
Evan Russell
Any good prog pop albums or albums like this one?
Isaiah Morgan
if you specifically enjoyed AFUT more than FTFT you may enjoy Field Music, try Measure, Flat White Moon, or Tones Of Town in that order

Thanks user for the names and links
Adam Reyes
Like AFUT or Time Skiffs?
For the former, I'd recommend Slapp Happy, Métronomie by Nino Ferrer, and Aviary by Julia Holter.
For the latter, I'd recommend Bruno Pernadas, the first Almendra album, (Os) Mutantes, and Tropical Dandy by Haruomi Hosono. Maybe Gal Costa if you like tropicalia.
And though you probably know them already, there are no better places to start for prog-pop than 10cc, The Alan Parsons Project, and especially Supertramp.

Christopher Clark
The band don't look or act like rockstars, their lyrics can be abrasive, the music is more measured and less enjoyably crazy, and there's a sizable counterjerk against hugely well-received albums on Any Forums.
Not to imply any of those other than the last are unreasonable, of course, but I like them just the same.
Lucas Wood
they pulled a full bait-and-switch on their entire sound, aesthetic, and live catalogue, I get bands switching up drastically from album to album, bm pulled it off, but bcnr are basically a different band and not the one I got into now
Austin Long
I get that their shift in tone and composition is pretty jarring, I've gone through that with bands too. That being said, is it really fair to call it a bait-and-switch? Do bands owe it to their listeners to hand over the direction of their creative processes?
Chase Ramirez
No, they don't, and it doesn't represent any personal animosity towards the band's members, it's just why I'm not really into their studio output beyond the first two singles apart from one or two tracks like Track X, Science Fair and Basketball Shoes
Elijah Ross
What's the yellow one under Squid?
Grayson Taylor
Ok, I get what you're saying now. They're definitely a different band now, though one I happen to like just as much. It's understandable to be disappointed though, given their new material isn't your cup of tea. No hard feelings, user, I was being gauche.
