06.21.20 | not sure what my fave album is tbh, so imma go with Boris - Feedbacker for being an all-or-nothing deal. no dipping in and out; gotta hear it in full
what's the catch with WYWH? |
loveisamixtape
06.21.20 | souvlaki is perfect in every way how could you ask such a question |
BaselineOOO
06.21.20 | souvlaki acts all vegetarian and pure but the title refers to some evil carnivore food lazy people eat - the truth |
JustJoe.
06.21.20 | worse part about “loveless” is that it’s the greatest album ever |
JustJoe.
06.21.20 | i hate when albums are the greatest album ever |
loveisamixtape
06.21.20 | don’t think i’ve ever had souvlaki the food bc it doesn’t exist in the south |
JohnnyoftheWell
06.21.20 | lol loveless has justjoe in its fanbase wow rekt |
Mythodea
06.21.20 | Everything went downhill afterwards, because what makes it my favourite album is a fragile balance of emotional connection, wonder, childhood nostalgia and sense of discovery, unmatched by the continuing consumption of music in a fast-food mentality in my adult years. |
JustJoe.
06.21.20 | i’m in your fanbase johnny |

06.21.20 | the fade-out to end the record kinda feels like a cop out |
Tb1114
06.21.20 | Jerk-off answer: Because I question if there will ever be an album of its caliber released again.
Pragmatic answer: The first disc is beyond flawless start to finish, the second disc has a few songs that clearly outweigh the others.
(In reference to Stars of the Lid And Their Refinement of the Decline) |
JokineAugustus
06.21.20 | Calculating Infinity - I wish it was longer |
RogueNine
06.21.20 | It has that one song on it. |
ArsMoriendi
06.21.20 | The Mothers of Invention - We're Only in It for the Money
1. The original 60s version has perfect production, but the record company censored multiple lyrics behind the band's back.
2. The 80s remaster restores the censored lyrics, but ruins the production by making it sound too clean and 80s and Chad Wackerman dubbs over the original drums with his robotic technical shlock drumming.
3. 2000s remaster tries to fix this by marrying 60s production with the uncensored lyrics and gets it to be at it's best yet, but...
4. Later on, some fan mixed it better, and it's embarrassing that some fan did a better job remastering it than professional mixers. Thank god I have this version. |
loveisamixtape
06.21.20 | ok fine, souvlaki should not have ended with dagger, it’s a great song, but a questionable closer
i had the torrented version of it in like 2010 and thought for years that the last song on the album was country rain, bc I guess my torrent had the 5 ep attached to the end, but also weirdly the some velvet morning cover. still my #1 but country rain will always be the real closer |
Tb1114
06.21.20 | @ RogueNine, are you talking about Mamacita off Aquemini? Accurate. |

06.21.20 | In Rainbows
House Of Cards kinda kills the momentum and should've been replaced with one of the b-sides |

The album cover is beyond horrible, don't even know what it's supposed to be, is that a fucking weregoat? |
ReturnToRock
06.22.20 | Nirvana - Nevermind
The fact that it has become SO FAMOUS that it has come to be regarded as overrated. |
JohnnyoftheWell
06.22.20 | scrappy backend + cookie cutter production are reason enough why a) most realworld nirvana 'fans' have never heard it in full and b) it's most defo overrated lol |
ReturnToRock
06.22.20 | Scrappy backend how?
7. "Territorial Pissings"
8. "Drain You"
9. "Lounge Act"
10. "Stay Away"
11. "On a Plain"
12. "Something in the Way"
13. "Endless, Nameless"
^ This is the back half of the album. MAYBE Lounge Act or Endless can be construed as slightly weaker songs, but otherwise it's all killer no filler. |
mrsaturn123
06.22.20 | Brand New - The Devil and God are Raging Inside Me
(ignoring the obvious)
It's become so popular on this site that now half the userbase hates it and claims it's overrated. |
Coast
06.22.20 | Lick Doo [2] |
Icebloom
06.22.20 | Something in the Way is cool but the other songs are definitely weaker than the first half. Always thought the stretch from Drain You to On a Plain was uninteresting |
Snake.
06.22.20 | "It's become so popular on this site that now half the userbase hates it and claims it's overrated."
you're forgetting something important |
JohnnyoftheWell
06.22.20 | copy/paste the degausser bridge lyrics and tell me TDAG's biggest flaw is overpopularity lol
re. nevermind, Drain You + Stay Away are ok (even if the latter sounds like an inferior draft of what they'd do way better on In Utero), Something In the Way is a bold closer, Lounge Act and On a Plain are filler and Territorial Pissings is just kinda silly |
Yotimi
06.22.20 | The same three seconds of music repeated over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over. Unutterably boring and redundant. |
Maniac!
06.22.20 | Godspeed Y!BE - F#A# Infinity fits a very specific mood and is so sprawling that it makes it difficult to sit and appreciate it as often as I'd like to. It's probably my favorite album if I had to pick one, but it's also an album I listen to very little. |
garas
06.22.20 | Burzum - Filosofem
I pretty much love everything about it, but maybe "Gebrechlichkeit II" could have been a little bit more different from the other one. Maybe more synths and stuff...? Still a nice mesmerizing piece of noise, I'd say. |

The second half of Olsen Olsen is pretty damn cheesy. i still love it though |
davezillaMP3
06.22.20 | DAZZLE VISION -Karai
It makes me too emotional,and very much destroys me with the last 2 songs with how bittersweet they are |
Tb1114
06.22.20 | @Pangea, those type of nitpicks on that album is pretty valid
Sometimes I listen to AB & am like "Blegh this is too wholesome" but also that's why it's so amazing yeh? |
Project
06.22.20 | Anberlin - Cities: "Hello Alone" just a worse version of "Paperthin Hymn" from their previous album
"copy/paste the degausser bridge lyrics and tell me TDAG's biggest flaw is overpopularity lol"
why are you hating on my favorite song on that album aside from BN being extremely problematic =(

Minushuman24
06.22.20 | The 59 Sound - The Gaslight Anthem
There's nothing really earth-shattering about it, plus it is a bit of a grower. I feel like it is hard to convey and convince someone just how good this album is. |
Pangea
06.22.20 | @tb1114 oh yeah definitely. i love the album to death and i wouldn't have it any other way, but i would definitely get it if it's somewhat irksome for some |
loveisamixtape
06.22.20 | can’t believe this got featured he didn’t even add the other cop outs |

SgtShock
06.22.20 | Isis - Wavering Radiant. (Sorry Cult of Luna - Mariner)
1) The Pliable Foe should have been on the album's tracklist.
2) I love love love how this album is dripping in a murky, dreamlike atmosphere but that also ends up working against it. It sort of aimlessly floats about and it's not until the last two tracks that we really get a coherent sense of direction. |
Avagantamos

"I can't believe they got a tesseracT ranked list featured."
Yeah, I was suprised by that too. |

06.23.20 | The vocals on The Wild Hunt by The Tallest Man on Earth are too loud. Some of the production on Pet Sounds is weak by today's standards. But Jeffery by Young Thug is pretty much flawless |

06.23.20 | Talk Talk - Laughing Stock
Part of me doesn't much care for the way 'Ascension Day' abruptly cuts out at the end (despite the fact that its abruptness was intentional per Hollis) and would've preferred a traditional fade out or somesuch. But album is so perfect and pristine otherwise that it hardly matters. |

"Fairweather Friends" isn't as essential as the rest of the album and is almost skippable if it weren't for the insane Elton John guest spot |

rockarollacola
06.25.20 | Judas Priest - Defenders of the Faith
Definitely it's wonky ass running order. The second half needed a couple faster tracks; the tempo of the last 4 songs just get slower and slower. |
Point1
06.25.20 | Interpol - Turn Out the Bright Lights
Has Obstacle 2 on it, which takes everything cool that they do on the rest of the record and makes it as clunky and awkward as possible. Total momentum-killer after Hands Away. |
aydross121
06.25.20 | Props to OP for adding the albums. I am always too lazy to do so in my lists. |

evilford
06.25.20 | Meshuggah - Nothing (re-release)
While I feel that the production job on this overall is much better than the original, it sometimes sounds like Jens is screaming into a tin can. Other than that, literally perfect. |
Shuyin
06.25.20 | Damn Ford, I though your favourite was Neurosis TSIB but can't go wrong with some shugga tho |
mrdogthrow
06.25.20 | Fallujah - Dreamless
front to back listens only, usually gotta be in a certain headspace since the album will probably make me emotional. Closer always gets me. |
evilford
06.25.20 | @ shuyin - yeah it was close. It honestly could have been either but I'm particularly feeling nothing rn |

06.26.20 | can i add to no 3. The last song can be a bit much when you're already almost 2 hours in |
AlwaysSmooth
06.26.20 | Life of Agony: River Runs Red
Those freakin talking tracks. Sure, on the first listen, they built the story culminating in the final track. BUT THE STEP MOTHER ON EVERY SUBSEQUENT LISTEN is cruel and unusual. |
Zeuzo
06.26.20 | The Cure- Disintegration
Lullaby, Fascination Street and Disintegration don’t last forever :( |
Sevengill
06.26.20 | Giant Squid - The Ichthyologist
The pacing gets a little languid in places because of the track order. |

06.26.20 | The Flaming Lips- Zaireeka
It's a massive pain in the ass to actually listen to it properly |
RichRamp
06.28.20 | Swans - The Glowing Man
It takes two hours. |
solrage
06.28.20 | King Crimson - In the Court of the Crimson King
The improv section of Moonchild is pretty bad compared to most of their actual live improvs and the album is actually better without it (you can hear the abridged version on the Frame by Frame compilation). Only thing that sucks with the abridged version is the lack of the beautiful outro. |
JohnnyoftheWell
06.28.20 | Woah Zaireeka on a fave album list nice - how many times have you heard it properly Kompys? |
Kompys2000
06.28.20 | Only 2 or 3, I made my own stero mixdown that I also listen to semi-regularly, but it really does pale in comparison with the real thing imo |

06.29.20 | I put it on the last one of these, but:
Queensryche's Operation Mindcrime. I literally cannot listen to a single song individually at this point. It's all or nothing.

07.04.20 | The Mars Volta - Frances the Mute
The long ambient pieces meant to balance out the more prevalent chaotic sections often come off as overlong or filled with pointless soundclips that don't feel relevant to the album as a whole. |

07.25.20 | Faith No More - Angel Dust
Doesn't shred as much as The Real Thing |
