ITT: Post albums you believe are overrated.pic related; honestly very boring to me.
What do you consider not boring OP?
I have to agree, I know it's really influential, but it doesn't really stand out from the imitators.
>>49990415Most recently? Syro.
>>49990389I sincerely do love DJ Shadow... maybe I like it 'cause I'm a pothead but organ donor just gets me everytime...
Really? Endtroducing... is a 10/10 for me and one of my all-time favorite albums.
kk I believe this is overrated
>>49990673agreed
dilla is my nigga, but honestly this album is not as great as everyone makes it out to be. he's had plenty of better releases.
Anything by Kanye West, especially pic related
>>49990632Naw, he's gud. I was in a weird bboy kick and had to listen to him yesterday.
>>49990781never understood why it gets rated above an 8.5
ITCOTCK. Why does this get all the attention when they have better releases like Lizard
so dull
>>49990794sounds cool... they dont play this shit around my city... even tho' we've got a great hip-hop culture/background... I'm sick of this decade already (I betcha they said that every single decae...)
>>49990736Really? I liked it. What do you recommend?
>>49990781Agreed.I just don't get the hype. His stuff is alright but nothing super noteworthy imo.
>>49990673obv
>>49990805It was their first, and it was a hell of a first. Lizard, LTiA, Red, Discipline, and The Power to Believe are all better though.
>>49990869for me, his first album is my favorite. also his first 2 albums with slum village, fan-tas-tic vol1 and 2.
just sounds pretty middle of the road to me
>>49992737this is true. what really irritates me is the fanbase that JUST NOW sprung up over brand new. shit when i was in middle school it was good but now seeing scene teens worship it makes me want to hurl
>>49992810>tfw
>>49992737deja entendu is their masterpiecedon't really understand why this always gets put on a pedestal above it
>>49990997is Power to Believe the track that samples Kanye?
criminally overrated.
>>49990389I just do not like Thom Yorke's voice, Everything In Its Right Place would be a great song, I just cant listen to him sing Same with Kid A (title track) I mean you can barely understand whatever the fuck that thing is saying
Like, I get what it did for the indie hip-hop movement by pushing that shit out of rawkus lyrical empirical spiritual miracle battle rap and preforming the creation of def jux, and its got some great lyrics,but bigg jus is boring to listen to on it idk. and some of the beats are wack to me
>>49992896literally every time this is brought up on moo is to rip it to pieces for being "emotionally manipulative" because >muh can't deal with such a simple metaphorthe lyrics are beautifulthe instrumentation is lushit can not be your cup of tea (In the Attic of the Universe is 100x better) but seriously the only criticisms i've actually ever heard are so autistic is laughable
>>49992946I think it's ok. It's super overrated though.
all highly rated albums are overrated.no work of art is perfect that's what makes it art
>>49992980how can it be overrated when the vast majority of people who listen to it or even know about it always talk shit about it
>overrated albums >>49992920thank you
I think the tinny production almost ruins this album. I love it, but it's very way over-hyped regardless.
>>49993030Maybe hating it is the new meme. For a really long time all I heard was how perfect it was.
Never understood the appeal.
>>49992946You're the one who's coming off autistic
>>49993159c-can someone rec some GOOD shoegaze beside this and souvlaki?i'm so bored, and the stuff i usually see in the shoegaze threads are kinda amateurish and boring
>>49992810Yeah, even when it came out and Brand New was my favorite band ever I only really thought the first half of the album was good
>>49990389>>49990673>>49990736>>49990818>>49992737>>49993040>>49993159Agreed.>>49990781>>49992896Agreed, but still like.>>49992920>>49993071Agreed, but still love.If we're being honest here, most albums that some portion of listeners consider "best ever" or even "top 10" material are overrated. No problem with that, really.I don't know what kind of conversations this post is supposed to stimulate.
>>49992810>what really irritates me is the fanbase that JUST NOW sprung up over brand newwhat the fuck are you talking about
>>49993211here's a good rec all other shoegaze is shit. hell even souvlaki was shit
>>49992930I knoooooooow, the lyrics are mind blowing but the album really fucking boring to the point it feels like it will never end. Bland production value at some points. Interesting to see how far El-P has come production wise though.
>>49993551yeah EL-P's production has def improvedfavorite lyric on fcrusher is "drinkin water out the well of life and ima piss it back rusty"
>>49993323how can you not process what i've just stated, unless you just jumped on the bandwagon...
a snoozefest
>>49993040>>49993676agree
>>49993733the first half of london calling is perfect but the second half sucks so bad holy shit
>>49993791It blows my mind how many people have repeatedly cum for 34 years about how "consistent" this album is. It's a great album that becomes a snoozefest. It's actually a relief when train in vain comes on.
>>49993869seriously agreed
>>49993211manon meurt's ep is good modern shoegaze
>>49993791>>49993869>>49993890nope.jpg
>>49993869For me it pretty much ends after Spanish Bomb.
>>49990673I think it's hard to get to the truth about this oneit was MASSIVELY overrated during its time, but it's still a good album that flirts with greatnessseriously wish Nirvana had never blown up the way they did. In Utero was so good, they probably had at least another 2-3 quality releases in them if Cobain had a different environment
>>49993938I agree, although Guns of Brixton and The Card Cheat are personal favorites. Definitely should have whittled it down a bit though.
This was my contender for AOTY at first, and the hype was exciting, but every repeated listen it becomes less and less rewarding. Now I can't even bring myself to listen to it.
>>49993091This, 2011-2013 /mu/ couldn't stop jerking off to how incredible it was.
it just sounds very generic and bland to mei really love >>49992920 though
>>49994242Thank you. It's so generic somehow.
5.7/10
>>49994256first two tracks are solid tho
>>49994359wrong
I don't really hate it but I'm kind of sad that this is most people's introduction to Autechre.
Every acclaimed work on this board
>>49994359Only songs worth really listening to on the album are Brother Sport and Bluish, for completely different reasons.Every other song is nothing other than good pop that is pretty forgettable.
>>49990736Totally disagree, but I can see why one would not like it too much if your personality is not totally chill.>>49994191Because the average dipshit on /mu/ doesn't have a mind of their own. It's definitely not overrated by critics, who gave it generally average reviews.Anyways, I would say a very overrated album on /mu/ would be Danse Manatee. It's mediocre noise that Animal Collective grew out of for a reason.
Interesting for a minute. Exploiting a tragedy for hype. Art con bullshit. Fuck this shit.
>>49994508Obviously you've never taken the time to fully appreciate In the Flowers, My Girls, Summertime Clothes or No More Runnin.
>>49994561>listened to it for a minute>gives up>on a drone pieceWow, anon. You really are a piece of shit.
>>49994612>taking "minute" literallyGuess I should have said month, more accurate
>>49992896Lyrics are amazing. Instrumentation blows.Vocals blow.Legitimately everything on this album blows except the lyrics.The dude should have just made it a poem and published it.
cant believe no one's posted this yet
>>49994680I agree. Would have been a great read.>>49994686Because it's obvious.
>>49994686Because it's one of the greatest folk albums ever recorded.
>>49994686why? very very very few people here would consider this overrated at all. in fact i'm willing to assume that you posted it for the sake of posting it and not because you actually think it's overrated.
>>49994738Nah tons of people here consider it heavily overrated. I don't, but, like Hospice, it's been a fad for a long time to hate on ITAOTS.
>>49994686Because it's better than everything except for the occasional semen on the occasional mountaintop
>>49994738OAI is a far better album
>>49990781Agreed
>>49994871I'm pretty much OAI's biggest fan on /mu/ buddy, and sorry but not even close.OAI has big problems with cohesion.
>>49994144>liking it in the first placelmao, it was trash at first listen
>>49994565or the album as a whole. it's basically a concept album
I like The Widow, but everything else is 6/10. Just another classic case of the vocalist ruining the experience of the instrumentation for me.
>>49995067Not even the best album though
>>49995142Never said it was. It is, however, overrated.
>>49994359yep.its not feels.
Le scaruffi epic rock album is overrated :=)
>>49993071Future Days sounds way better. Completely different style of music, though.
>>49995142>>49995171that title would obviously go to bedlam anyway
>>49990389
wouldnt call it boring, but it's not a must-listen for me. i mean it's ok but i don't see what makes it special
>>49995067De-Loused in the Comatorium>their best album imo
>>49994680I agree so much with this.
your childhood photo album
>>49995284you're a fucking moron. Bedlam is their second worst after Octahedron.
>>49990589haha, aphag twin fans always have terrible taste
obviousfuckingly
>>49997576
>>49995067The cover just looks terrible with the text, would be quite good without
