I actually refrained from mentioning Sun City Girls in the discussions of the genre, as the band mostly played noisy rock wherein Arabic influences were difficult to discern except for particular tracks. And Zorn is mostly into specifically Jewish music, afaik, what with his label Tzadik releasing a bunch of old folk-ish Jewish records and such.

    Yeah, Suncity girls (Sublime Frequencies) and co (John Zorn, Mr Bungle/Trey Spruance, Estradasphere) have been around. The 60s had lots of influence from indian music through hippies.

    I mean the most recent phenomenon in the late 10s to mid 20s.

    Got it. I actually used their API for a bit, to find Youtube links for songs when people link to Spotify. The service advertise themselves as a promotion thing for artists and their representatives, so I assumed that's who creates the pages.

    I was pretty hyped for the album after The Hives showed that 2000s rock bands could still do it with The Hives Forever Forever The Hives...

    But not only is this a complete departure from their earlier work, it doesn't even sound well-done. Autotune can be used artistically (Justin Vernon, etc) but every song sounds like default Antares settings.

    Really weird choice from an artist (Julian specifically) I had a lot of respect for!

    I zoned out a bit when listening to the album so it might not be EVERY track but it's most of them. Massive disappointment all around from both the album and his behavior. Seeing his name on a track used to mean I'd probably like it!

    Yeah.. I used to be into the strokes. Ive not listened to them a long time, I clicked the link. I heard it a first and thought oh, it seems fine? Then the pre-chorus started, and, yeah, it sounds like hes under water. Highly distracting.

    He took one of the most iconic voices in rock and auto tuned it for a whole album then picked fights with fans and critics who weren't into it. Julian Casablancas is a chode, what a disappointment

    How do you feel about 2004 remaster of Rust in Peace? The vocals are re-recorded. It's different enough I have both of them and I don't even listen to that much Megadeth, I only have two versions of RiP and the original mix of Peace Sells...

    I thought I was hallucinating the link to Invidious on that page due to lack of sleep, under 'Buy' for some reason. But no, it works, and even leads to my preferred instance.
