Yes, I did consider that. And I don't think it was scary. Or necessary.

For more relevant discussions about Faust's eponymous album, feel free to make your way to the February SRE Week 2 thread, as Faust is one of the five albums to be listened to and rated this week, and we have yet had anyone share their thoughts about that particular album, or its songs. 😁

Don't like it.

Not TMR either.

Rock bottom is really good though. About half of it.

Why?

I'm just really not into the "experimental" stuff.

Just find it to be rather pretentious.

I mean, sure, if I listened to it like 10 times I might end up liking it somewhat.
But I think the same could be done with Britney Spears.

TMR is certainly not pretentious. It is an entertaining, enjoyable and awesome album, IMO.

That's fine, it's all just opinion anyway.

And there seems to be a lot of people who agree with you.

Because, apparently, Faust is a great album.

So is TMR. Rock Bottom..........well, almost as great.

SamTheMan, Faust is one of the trippiest records I have ever had the pleasure of listening to. If you haven't checked it out yet, you should give it a try (or a few). If that doesn't do it for you, check out Faust IV(1974). Also very far out but not quite as odd.

You've already rated these two albums but Dark Side of the Moon and Kid A are great albums which to me sound 'far out'. Give them another listen if you're interested. I would also have to recommend The Beatles' underrated gem of an album Magical Mystery Tour. It's not quite as mysterious as the two I already mentioned but still far out.

They're quite good. Get round to Faust Later 😮

'far out' is quite vague criteria. If you are you talking exclusively about pyschedelic rock, I think Beefheart is a great suggestion.

But, IMO, other genres do psychedelia better than rock, for example Juan Atkins and Sven Vath are incredibly far out but in another sense, it's just really dreamy and trip-like electronic music. Better known than this, perhaps Ennio Morricone, Brian Eno or Kraftwerk. All not rock, but music that takes your mind to a different plain and if that's what is meant by 'far out', it does it's job perfectly.

Why,on this website does everybody rave about the Faust album?
Also Trout Mask Replica isn't as good as specified (IMO), neither is Rock Bottom. This is just my opinion. Mabye I'll have to listen to them in a more in depth way, I don't know!

PS. What are the most farout albums ever. Can someone post some here for me. Would be well appreciated. Cheers! 😎
