ITT: Albums where you can't possibly understand how anyone can dislike it.

>he's okay with cultural appropriation

Please go back to and stay there.

granted i still haven't met anyone who disliked it

I still have no found anyone who can come up with a reasonable explanation to why this is a good album. Once in a Lifetime makes me want to stab my fucking eardrums.

Illmatic
SILY
Entroducing...
Donuts
Low end theory and midnight marauders
Madvillainy
LONESOME CROWDED WEST

...

It bores me, the only track I still like is Listening Wind. 77 is so much better.

At least anyone with a conscious understanding of the plight of Black America's struggles

more like you reject all the explanations you don't like desu

I wish I was baiting, I can't stand the album and especially that track.

>SILY
Robert Christgau of The Village Voice was less enthusiastic and said that the Avalanches deliver "the long-promised new-songs-from-old-songs trick, in which untrackable samples are stitched together until they mesh into compelling music that never existed before. Unfortunately, the music in question is string-section disco."[34]

Blacks are making it worse for them selves

Once in A Lifetime is the worst one on there. For me why I like it is the funky grooves of The Great Curve.

I mean the song Once in a Lifetime is good but tbqh I thought the rest of the album was just... weird.

It's because you're a pretentious fucknut who hates fun

i really couldn't get into this one, too messy

...

I know that it's considered to be pleb here, but I just don't get it.

...

the opening track is so tediously repetitive. There are a few good tracks on it, but Fear of Music is sooo much better

my god horrible opinion. seriously stop listening to music

also reminder that if you have ever used the words "boring" or "repetitive" to describe music you are a pleb of the highest order and should leave this board immediately

It bored me to death

>y-you just hate fun
If I wanted fun I'd play a video game, not listen to ear grating music

too fast and bulbous for me, tight also

>muh musacks es superior

I like it, but it's too goofy to be one of my favourites.

...

just use any word other than "repetitive" because that doesn't make any fucking sense. born under punches isn't even repetitive, it changes throughout the track, there are tons of different melodies and motifs. just because it has the same beat doesn't mean it's repetitive.

is prog your favorite genre?

I watch hardcore BDSM porn to this

bait

AS YOU CHOKE MEEEE THAT WAY

As a a whole I don't think it sounds as chaotic as it should because he doesn't challenge the form enough, just makes a lot of noises around the fairly conventional developments. Dissapointed that he abandoned the Steve Reich worship of Seven Swans and Illinois because most longer instrumental passages on this kind of drags. I also think Sufjan sounds whiny when he raises his voice and the lyrics are also a lot of the time not that good. I still like it, but it's my least favourite of his mature albums.

...

audible kek

It's fun but sometimes it drags too long. I like it, tho.
If your taste doesn't have leaning close to this album or if you don't have a certain sensibility or simply aren't in a particular mood when you listen to it, it comes like some pretty bland 60's baroque pop. I think it slays, tho. Beautiful album.

It just doesn't live up to its hype. Don't get me wrong, I like it, but people make it sound like it's the mightiest of rock albums, the all time high of mind melting psychedelia and the unparalleled amount of musical experimentation. It's just some pretty good prog pop leaning into psych with very relatable themes. It's prog without prog's extended wankery, short and sweet.

...

>cultural appropriation
>a real issue
nice meme my dude

>It's prog without prog's extended wankery, short and sweet.
this is a very good description of DSOTM, good job user :)

Prog died in 1969 desu

Literally no one in the entire universe dislikes this album.

...

I don't like Talking Heads because David Byrne sounds like a bridge troll when he sings and it's terrible.

i'm a liberal, but even if youre a right-winger who hates blacks, you are retarded if you think this is bad music

ur right.
also nice trips

I love Once in a Lifetime. Though the first track of the album is by the far best. This album is a masterpiece.

I hate every album you just listed

When You Sleep is the only good song

This desu. It was ok, but I just don't understand the fanboyism for this album. Maybe I just don't get it.

I saw them like last week, and comparing the horrible post Brian Wilson stuff they played to anything from this album is fucking staggering.

Fear of Music is somewhat better and More Songs About Buildings and Food is best.

I just don't like hip hop man, and the only thing people ever say when they try to defend it is that it's "jazzy"

I don't like Low End Theory or Midnight Marauders, LCW is okay but really over-hyped.

Agree with the rest though.

Best answer so far.

Grannycore garbage.

I've been listening to this a lot lately, I like it
It's kind of hard for me to get into their older stuff that's not on stop making sense

As a fan of post-rock, I find shoegaze to be a watered-down, more wild version of the same genre. I can't get into this

>I find shoegaze to be a watered-down, more wild version of the same genre.
What did he mean by this?

This pretty much, actually.

is this better tho

only a little, of all their albums it's the one where the tracks are improved the most live though pretty much. fuck eno

2fast2bulbous

Tbf only Heaven is that much better on SMS

Check out the name of this band is talking heads if you haven't. although sms is great too, I think I like it even more

but also, life during wartime on sms is by faaaaar the best version of it imo

He knows what's up

Happy Mondays in general really. I love that fuckin' band!

I agree that I think for an album so focused on inner turmoil and chaos and apocalypse it's decidedly not very chaotic most of the time but I personally just like it a lot for what it is, a few great pop songs with some really cool electronic/orchestral arrangements.

I would love to see some of the same ideas from that record pushed to get a little weirder and more unconventional, though.

Shit, guess it's time to listen to this again. Thanks for reminding me.

I understand the story behind the album, but I don't really like it sonically. Not my kind of music.
