My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy by Kanye West. The first 6 songs are great but the other songs is a mixed beg. It's a 7/10 not a 10/10.

Probably anything with the subtitle (Taylor's Version)

Sometimes they sound different enough to make a difference (regardless if I prefer the original or not), other times they sound exactly the same.

Maybe Taylor Swift just isn't for me. And I'm someone who has the balls to call her 2020 album "folklore" his favorite album.

I was a huge, massive, we're talking tattoos-of-the-bands-logo-on-my-body levels of fan of Avenged Sevenfold before Hail to the King came out.

That album is re-hashed 80s thrash garbage, but everyone loves it. The first 3 hard rock/arena metal albums they made (City of Evil, self-titled, and Nightmare) are one of the best trilogies in heavy music. Then Jimmy passed away, and the band hadn't been the same since. I'm still a fan of the 2001-2010 A7X, but beyond that, I'ma take a pass.

Some years ago, a friend recommended me the following albums:

  • Atom Heart Mother
  • Animals
  • The Wall
  • Dark Side of the Moon

I liked some tracks of the last album, but overall none of the albums clicked for me. I am aware they are respected by the wider community, so I guess I didn't get them.

in my opinion, minus Atom Heart, those are all objectively great albums. But taste is a subjective thing so not liking them makes sense.

Anything is a bit harsh, but I can understand where it comes from. Before Nirvana, rock was hairspray, glitter and spandex. Grunge put us in ripped jeans, flannel and not giving a fuck.

A lot of it is "technically" not great music, and since many bands have taken that grunge sound, improved it and put their own spin on it, listening to them today isn't very impressive. In fact, I rarely get excited when Nirvana comes on the radio, and I wore a Kurt T-shirt in the 90s!

What is NOT overrated is the impact they made on rock. The whole game changed because of Nirvana, and they definitely deserve credit for that.

How dare you have an opinion when asked for one. Have some downvotes! /s

Isnt that a clothing brand?

Cowboy Carter. There. I said it.

I enjoyed Renaissance, Break My Soul is an absolute banger of a song, there's nothing comporable or remarkable on Cowboy Carter.

Nine Inch Nails' The Downward Spiral is unlistenable.

Yes.

The greatest industrial album is horrible.

Correct.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

Agreed. It's the greatest, most terrible industrial album.
