Give me a good reason as to why this wouldn't be the best pop album of the century.
unexceptional songwriting
here you go
Because this exists.
>>62409080
It is bad.
>>62409080
I LOVE this album, but it's way too long for its own good, and LA Hallucinations + Warm Blood kinda suck.
>>62409129
this is shit, and it's not good tier pop music. It's just moaning and generic indie "vintage" wannabe shit
>>62409400
clearly haven't listened to it all and are just basing your opinion on what you read about Born to Die.
why do people keep spamming this
was it that neo-/mu/ chart?
>>62409080
because its shit

>>62409400
>idiocy: the post
If it swapped Warm Blood with Favorite Color in the Deluxe edition and dropped LA it will be a 10/10 album. Still pretty good tho
>>62409885
>If it swapped Warm Blood with Favorite Color
true
>and dropped LA
nah
I'd prefer Black Heart over Favorite Color, but it's still a better song than Warm Blood.
>>62409922
LA is worse than Warm Blood tho
>>62409953
That chorus though.
>>62409978
And the lyrics just do not fit with the rest of the album. All the look at me - excess bourgeois - shit that comes out of nowhere really kills the mood of the album.
>>62409080
I liked britney spears in the zone album a bit more. Emotion is a pretty solid album though.

When I Needed You is my shit. That is all i wanted to say.
>>62409885
>>62409922
LA's lyrics are shite and the production on Warm Blood is awful, replacing both of them with any of the bonus tracks would make it a much better album.
>>62409585
But he's right.
>>62410140
Ok, now that sounds like a better idea. Both Black Heart and Favorite Color deserved to make it to the album.
Warm Blood is far and away the best song on the album. Are you guys kidding me?
Also, this is why. And "Back to Black" as well.
"Emotion" is up there, though.

Actually, I take it back anyway. I forgot about "All That"
>>62409080
>best pop album of the century.
I don't know all the pop albums that came out since 1916 but Pet Sounds is better than anything ITT.
>>62409080
>>62409129
>>62409237
Are all good albums, but the best from the past hundred years? Really?
is this shit a new meme or something?
>>62410372
You know what he means tard
because this is the best pop album of the century OP
>>62410561
IN DECEMBER
>>62410449
At this point, not really. What qualifies as pop anymore on this board? Does it need to sound like top-40? Pop music can describe a ridiculous amount of music, so narrowing it down might help. Pet Sounds was/is a pop album. Yeah it's old, and not an original pick, but for the question posed, it's probably the best answer I can think of besides maybe something by the Beatles or another highly influential group that was considered "a pop group" in their respective time period.

It's not even in the conversation you fag. Making 80s synthpop in 2015 isn't interesting or progressive.
>>62410654
Yeah, I guess I let my autism get the best of me there. Oh well, fucking way she goes.
>>62409129
her lyrics are terrible
>>62410766
but does it sound good?
it's like you don't understand what pop music is
daft punk discovery?
that one lykke li album?
>>62410865
There's a difference between a decent pop tune and the greatest pop album of the century.
I feel like Carly was really inspired by Lost in Translation when making this album
>>62410914
It matches up, considering only the most mediocre of creative minds could be inspired by Sofia Coppola
baby lets go get lost
i like that youre driving slow
keeping my fingers crossed
tbat maybe youll take the long way home
>>62410945
she inspires me
oh, i guess you're right
Jai Paul
>>62411020
u a basic
>>62411128
you don't like Jai Paul?
>>62411234
I like Jai Paul. I just don't like people who like Jai Paul.
>>62411247
why not?
>>62409080
Because this is
>>62411261
unpleasantly hipper-than-thou
>>62411286
Feels wrong to even mention Kala/M.I.A. among Carley Rey Jepsen desu
but you're absolutely right

It's all quickly downhill after Bamboo Banga (which is so good it's frustrating)

I'm just being difficult. Jai Paul is fine.
>>62410264
Kylie Minogue is a hack washed up nobody. We hate her here in Australia. She can stay the fuck back in England.
>>62411455
oh that sucks maybe you should hangout with different people
Jai Paul is fucking awesome and easily better than anything else posted ITT imo. MIA is pretty good though.
>>62409080
Boy Problems is def the best song of the century
>>62411500
and Contra forgot that one
>>62409080
It's not 1989
>>62411500
Jai is great but I wouldn't say he's better than MIA and he probably wouldn't say so either considering she's one of his favorite artists.
>>62411472
I'm sure she's not aching to get back to your island.
>>62410718

Better than living in a country full of mulsims and lebbos.
>>62411598
Lebbos is the most hilarious slur ever
>>62409129
Yeah if it weren't lyrically atrocious
>>62411535
It's much better than 1989, which is good for the first three songs and not a moment longer.
>>62411598
>Aussie rationalizing his sad existence
>>62411020
Jai Paul is literally Craig David with a bunch of effects on his voice
>>62411634
>Britfag rationalizing living with refugees
kek
>>62411651
Craig David is way softer dude, he's much more of a sex artist, you play him when you're trying to make sweet, passionate love. Jai Paul is a lot more energetic while still being sexy as shit. I prefer his instrumentals more as well.
>>62411527
+1 for boy problems
>>62411527
Because of Sia, right?
So you admit that Sia is the best artist/songwriter of all-time. You admit it. You basically said as much.
>>62411652
Where was I doing that?
Also, I live in California. You know, with all the kale and progressive retards.
Still better than Australia. ;)
>>62411312
it's a 10/10 till timbaland
which bumps it down to a 9.5
>>62411527
listening to it now, underwhelmed what do you like so much about it?
>>62411848
>kale and progressive retards
We have that here too. It's called Melbourne, in Victoria. It's embarrassing mate.
>>62411652
Enjoy the abos.
>>62411894
You guys do have pretty good movies, though, I'll give you that.
>>62411936
Yeah they're pretty scum.
>>62411973
We barely have an industry. Hollywood and other film makers just come to Australia for our great landscapes.
>>62411535
And 1989 isn't Speak Now
While I loved Emotion, I can't say it topped this
>>62411992
>We barely have an industry.
touché. why did i think nicolas roeg was australian?
what about painting
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heidelberg_School
>>62412041
no way dude emotion doesn't come anywhere near this, the only reason people claim emotion as being so good is because it was labelled as total shit before it even came out, nobody expected it to be good so it was a nice surprise when it wasn't garbage it's like a decent 7/10 maybe but nothing special
>>62412024
Red is her best album
>>62412041
Nothing on this album holds up. Everyone was just excited because "ohh black woman makes Metropolis concept album"
And she ran out of steam so fast. The only enduring thing about her is her wardrobe (which is just a ripoff of Diane Keaton and Grace Jones anyway).
>>62412138
That's what I'm saying though...
>>62412159
Name another pop concept album in the past forty years that's as good as Archandriod.
It wasn't hyped because "lol blacks". It was hyped because it's fucking good
In all honesty, it's probably 808's and Heartbreaks
>>62412255
My point is that the fact of it being a concept album got everybody really hot but the appeal dried up really fast because concept albums aren't that special, ESPECIALLY when they're pop albums.
And the songwriting just isn't there.
>>62412098
Maybe. Music is probably more our forte.
>>62412367
What do you find lacking in the songwriting?
>>62411286
yfw christgau is entirely right about kala
>>62412367
What are you talking about?
The lyrics are ten times better than any top 100 pop album in the past ten years, bud.
>>62412159

It's a close second.

>>62409080
No, bastardized top40 synthpop isn't the best pop album of the century.
>>62412567
I wasn't complaining about lyrics anywhere. Learn to read, dumbass.
>>62412545
They aren't NECESSARILY important. They don't compensate for lackluster melodies, arrangements and studio production
>>62412664
Ok so what about the melodies, arrangements and production is lackluster on ArchAndroid?
1. Class Actress - Rapprocher
2. Lana Del Rey - Ultraviolence
3. Junior Boys - Last Exit
4. Julia Holter - Have You in My Wilderness
5. AIR - Original Motion Picture Score for The Virgin Suicides
>>62409080
Because...
Grimes - Art Angels
Robyn - Body Talk
Tegan and Sara - Sainthood

"Tragedy" was only quasi-poppy, but her subsequent albums were definitely pop music.
>>62414589
new album is pop
