Album Rating: 4.5

my 4.5 for this is based on how i love about everything this album does, but i don't particularly have a strong connection to it. I don't care about the rating descriptors the site uses

@flag There are tonnes of albums I consider perfect personally, but regardless wouldnt it make sense for the top rating to remain attached to verbiage that encourage using it sparingly?

Potsy I understand what you're saying, yeah "classic" is not the best descriptor either, but honestly no idea what would be

Do you have any “perfect” albums that you have a deep emotional attachment to that you wouldn’t consider “classic”

I have lots of those

i like sweet trip for specific musical reasons that i would only waste time articulating for better users and none of that has anything to do with “online nerdspheres” in which they’re still not even that popular. I also haven’t even figured out what type of enjoyment I’m capable of deriving from their music anymore so thank you for trying to leverage my fandom against me before ascertaining that, dick. but I do know that Roby could commit 1000 heinous crimes and still not have it in him to write something as dry and musically inept as Wandering Star

Car Seat Headrest's Teens of Denial and Twin Fantasy are nearly perfect to me and I have strong connections with both, but would not consider them classics

What Pots is saying and what he is doing seems contradictory, maybe that’s his point



I don’t bloody know anymore.



I’m pretty sure he has actively attempted diluting the importance of the 5s and why you just shouldn’t give a damn, which I was buying (almost), but now it seems like he actually cares. I’m confused. Fuck this timeline.

Did not realize me bumping this album randomly today would turn into a discussion about rating descriptors

2.5 = not good but not bad

3 = good album

3.5 = quite good but not mind blowing

4 = amazing album, one of the best of the year probably, probably no glaring flaws

4.5 = one of my favourite albums ever

5 = one of my very favourite albums ever



very simple

this is a frustrating 6.5 that could have been a 7.5-8 if they tried harder

that's kinda crazy to me yoyo, there are so many albums that I wouldn't change anything about but they're still 3.5s or 4s. it's like lasagna. the best lasagna in the world will still only be a 7/10 max, there's nothing that can be done to it to improve it without making it into something different than lasagna entirely
