The album artist is Alan Brown, goes by Medusawolf on the internet, and did the last Esoctrilihum cover as well! Really swell dude, really amazing artist. Also I hardly ever comment here so I'm really sorry if this image link is broken! https://wowxwow.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/Alan-Brown-005.jpg

Oh god, as a visual artist with carpal tunnel issues that I largely just power through, this hit waaaaaay too hard. As ever, good tunes, but FUCKING YIKES at bodies.

Music is an aural tradition, art is a visual one (sometimes aural/oral if we're talking interdisciplinary art).

(Which implies that collage isn't art which 100% isn't what I mean but oh god I just opened up the opportunity to discuss what is and isn't art and I REGRET EVERYTHING)

That Yob cover always looked to me more like collage using old etchings/engravings/drawings that are already in the public domain—a good piece of design, not a piece of original art.

It should also be noted that the artist behind the blog who is levying these criticisms isn't an outsider, and that he has compiled these examples with other artists who, again, don't exactly sound like outsiders. And if you're using images in a collaged piece, that's one thing—but at least one of the bands featured on the blog didn't know that the piece was collaged and not original. So at this point, it goes back to an issue of professional honesty. Are the artists featured on this blog presenting their work as something other than it is—either with lies or lies by omission? (Admittedly, I've been obsessing over this blog for most of the week.)

I made the mistake of reading the comments for a lot of these articles (I know better, but I did it anyway), and at least one person used Warhol's Campbell's soup cans as an example of plagiarism in art.

And that I want them to GET OFF MY LAWN. Er, sorry, "wealthy garden."

Deafheaven's lyrics, to me, read like a high school kid wrote some poetry that he thought was profound, and then fed it in and out of Google Translate until he got something he was happy with. I'm gonna go with objectively bad.

Nope, still marveling at the pretentiousness of it all.

That album is killer. They're fantastic live, too.

Too many songs to have to cull to a top 10. Loving your take on the list since it's pretty different than mine—may have to revisit a few of the songs in your top 10 with some of your thoughts on the songs in mind. Thanks!
