Every Album Ever
Winston Rowntree is the author of Subnormality, the popular webcomic which he describes as containing "weird characters, endless opinions and occasionally huge walls of text."
Today, we bring you the fourth installment of an original comic Mr. Rowntree will be updating here on Cracked.
Check out past updates, in which Winston illustrated The Circle of Life for Jocks and Nerds or weeks before when he showed you How To Win At Panhandling and How NOT to Get Revenge on Your Ex.
Some idiot forgot to add an end-italics tag.
ReplyApparently the writer of this comic doesn't listen to Bob Dylan.
ReplyClearly you haven't heard Revolver.
ReplyI wish all subnormality comics were like this, unfortunately 90% of the ones on the comic's site are just the same vaguely lonely, soul-searching message and/or observation/complaint about society in general.
ReplyIt's worse that it's then rehashed into unrealistic dialogue between two complete strangers both somehow having the same vaguely lonely soul searching message and/or observation/complaint about society in general, when it was obviously first Rowntree's inner monologue on the bus, then he realised he had to awkwardly shoehorn into dialogue with a truckload of 'I know right?'s and 'yeah, what the f**k is up with that?' so it seems like the audience is just being talked straight at.
Rowntree look a lot of us do actually want to live in a world where we don't have to wear a facade in public, and live comfortably in semi-nubile mutual trust. However, not everyone does, and, in fact, it would feel awkward after eight minutes, because people just don't think like that, so like communism it just wouldn't work anyway.
I really want to like subnormality but it, frankly just has to be better.
The art is bang on though.
nobody cares, quit trying to act like you're smart
how cynical. i can list off a dozen albums that don't fit that.
Replyhow do you miss the "except for the good ones" part?
To be honest, this must be the third time I've read this, and *I* just noticed that for the first time, so I don't blame him...
Actually the Hit Song tends to be number two or sometimes number three on the cd. Normally the first song is an opener that is neither good or bad just kinda there.
ReplyWhat about polka albums? They rock!
ReplyCute.
ReplyI know this is supposed to be a joke, but I just don't recall listening to many albums that are actually like this at all...
ReplyReminds me of a pop album.
ReplyI do not own a single album that reminds me of this.
Reply14 tracks is just too long and s****y bonus tracks are er .. s****y
Replyare you saying record labels are Nazis, or they're as incompetent as those that screwed up the invasion of the Soviet Union?
ReplyI think it's calling them incompetent, like the Nazis who forgot that they were eventually going to be fighting in the inhospitable wasteland that is wintertime USSR.
I think what they are saying is that they heard about WW2 and did all their learning watching HBO series. There was nothing wrong with the supply of ammunition to the Wehrmacht during Barbarossa/1941, the screw up that cost them was the fact none of them allowed for the fact it gets F.CKING COLD in Russia. So they froze.
Strangely the SS (ie the hard core Nazi Scum) who used their own supply system managed to foresee the problem and provided much better quality winter clothing to their Nazi Scum troops.
Mores the pity.

ReplyWhy I buy songs in the net, instead of buying a bunch of bad songs with only one song I want. I will never use cds again.
Replywait, is that a vinyl album?
ReplyThis doesn't apply to MY favorite band, because they are so unique. That's why they don't get lumped into a genre where every band sounds exactly the same.
Reply Hide All See All 9 RepliesHow very hipster.
Nickelback?
Well, la-dee-frickin'-da.
Lies! Your just trying to sound cool! I bet you like Justin Bieber!
They're unique, just like every other "unique" hipster bullshit band
lol I like how he was being sarcastic, and everyone took it as him being serious. :P and btw, if you guys didn't care to look, on the side, it says "well, except for the good ones"
although he does sound like hes joking, and probably is a d-bag, just because a band is different from the generic trend doesnt mean they ought to be condemned as being "hipster." its just another word to make people feel bad for having an interest in something that isnt shoved down everyones necks
Yeah but *I* was into them WAY before you were.
Oh my god, you guys, it's so obviously satirical.
To allow common judgment, how would the Agent Orange album fit into this? It's entirely badass, but others might see it differently..and has less tracks.
ReplyHeh. TLDR666 was clever.
ReplyMeh, kind of. Sgt Peppers was quite good.
ReplyYeah, this doesn't at all apply to The Beatles. Still hilarious though.
