It wasn't close to niggas at all

>>60613795
correct, it was significantly better than niggas
>>
>>60613728
Every Beatles album
Every Beach Boys album
Every Bob Dylan album
Every Rolling Stones album
Every David Bowie album
Every Who album
Every Pink Floyd album
Every Led Zeppelin album

pretty much any "classic" album is wildly overrated and is actually very bad and extremely dated
>>
Everything pre-millenium.

YES

This album is one of the most absolute garbage I've ever listened
>>
>>60614076
first of all its not even close to garbage and second of all it becomes way better when you look at the context of the album
>>
>>60614109
>muh he was dying

that doesn't change anything to the quality factor, if it's shit, it's shit. the guy didn't turn into god when he wrote this when he was on his death bed
>>
>>60613728
this a good album
>>
>>60614188
>when he wrote this
im questioning if you even listened to the album
>>
>>60613728
>>60614188
lmao this album is top 5 all time. Easy contender for GOAT
>>
>>60613821
hahahahaha

wrong
>>
>>60614214
i wonder if you have ears
>>
>>60613865
>>60614054
Good
>>
>>60614235
and also i never said it made the music better, it just gives the songs more meaning
>>
>>60613728
Agreed, still like a 7/10 and the background to it is interesting/cool
>>60613773
Probably underrated actually
>>60613795
Nah this was just the most hyped album of all time. People like a good hype train, so they disregarded NOTM at first to get ready for this. When it just turned out decent, they got dissapointed and went back and realized how great NOTM was/is. TPAB is a very solid record tho
>>60613821
Graduation is to Kanye as JD is to DG: yeah it has some of his/their best songs, but it also has their/his worst.
>>60613825
>yes
>no
>no
>yes
>kinda
>yes
>some are vastly overrated, others are vastly underrated
>yes
That last statement is a terrible generalization tho
>>60613841
No
>>60613861
A little, still great tho
>>60614054
:-0
>>60614109
This, it's a dying man's last piece of life
>>60614188
No, you're missing the point. Unless you lack empathy you should be able to listen to Donuts in the mind set of someone who's dying and is aware of it. Regardless, it's still good to a degree.
>>60614217
No

>>60614374
>Graduation is to Kanye as JD is to DG: yeah it has some of his/their best songs, but it also has their/his worst.
this is a great analogy

it is, but it is no more than 'good'

it's still wildly overrated, see >>60614217
>>
>>60613728
>>60613743
I'd have to be in agreement. It's good, but this shit is only "amazing" because the nigger died.
>>
are there any other albums that have been written on an artist's deathbed?
>>
>>60614509
how is it not a GOAT contender? name another album that makes better use of textures to vividly paint emotional soundscapes into the listeners ear.

Only shit that comes close is MAYBE piper at the gates of dawn
>>
>>60614685
Warren Zevon - The Wind (sorta, he had been diagnosed with terminal cancer and died around the time the album was released)

You're correct. Both are stylistically, and musically differentiated by a very wide margin. Comparing the two is canonically fucking retarded. This album was overhyped, but not overrated. It did a good job on what it was aiming to execute, and some of the tracks that don't grab you before, really tend to grow on you if you care enough to give it a more in-depth listen.

agree
>>60613795
One of my biggest disappointments of the year
>>60613861
no
>>
>>60615330
Perhaps if you're a more left-brained person the album won't appeal to you on the same level that it would to an emotive person. I think it's beautiful.
