>it's just a bunch of fucking stupid wacky broadway showtunes
Extremely overrated album. I don't get the appeal, and I wanted to like it.

>my patrician thread
ok dude
The problem with Song Cycle isn't that it has no structure, it's that the ideas don't flow together. You don't have to have form in order to have a good piece/album, but you do have to have some semblance of progression or development. Otherwise it's just a hodgepodge.

That isn't really a pop album
It's still better than the beach boys tho

Both of these are correct.

Right? But everyone on /mu/ seems to think that anything that uses the typical conventions of music or isn't just random noises is pop. Sigh.
