radiohead probably not, that would be the unpopular opinion since so many people here have a hard on for amnesiac

Dropout and Ocarina are 8/10s that get remembered as masterpieces because of nostalgia and the context in which they came out. Majora's Mask and MBDTF are the go-to "patrician's choice" even though they're universally loved. Wind Waker/Yeezus were hugely controversial when they came out despite being critically acclaimed and later become acknowledged for the masterpieces that they are. TP and LR refine earlier formulas to the point of making them bland and uninteresting but are still undeniably solid. SS/TLOP are a clusterfuck of ideas, some of which work but many of which don't.

But do you think that some people can have a deeper appreciation for an album because they have a greater understanding of music theory?

Following that line of thought surely then some albums must exist that are only accessible to those on the deeper level of understanding.

I just find my personal observation that after taking like 2 years off from /mu/ I come back to find daily Swans threads and Le Cowboy Hat Man xD maymays. Looking back I do remember reading a thread about their reunion but that was like a whole year or two since the last time I heard about them here. Even Exmilitary was talked about more here

I could definitely can see the appeal of Swans to the easily impressed youth transitioning from their metalhead phase into "softer shit yo" or indeh kids getting more into "heavier shit bro". Beach Boys I can see because of the dismissive knee-jerk "You mean that 60's rock band that sings about girls, cars and surfing?" only to come out as "oh, huh" when listening to Pet Sounds at some party or whatever. Also, it's the 21st century, there are multiple others ways of discovering music on the internet than reviewers giving numbers or stars to pay for the rent.

Pet Sounds is 6/10 at best and the only remarkable songs are WIBN, GOK and SJB. Revolver, Rubber Soul, MMT, SPLHCB and Abbey Road are better.
Spiderland, as many 'genre starters' albums could be good at its day. Now it's mediocre.
Miles Davis is a hack.
The only decent songs in Selected Ambient Works vol. II are Stone in Focus and Rhubarb. The rest are pretty boring and without substance.
Wish You Were Here is one of the best albums of the 20th century
The King of Limbs is the best Radiohead album
Like Clockwork is the worst QOTSA album

Almost objectively incorrect. I will agree with you on The Black Parade being great. Waking the Fallen is also a decent album, but everything else A7X has done is complete fucking garbage.

In Rainbows is mediocre as fuck
GYBE is the most pretentious band with the most pretentious fanbase out there. Just read any of their RYM reviews.
AnCo from MPP onwards is their best material. Early AnCo is trash.
Donuts by J Dilla should be considered one of the greatest albums of all time in any genre.
Kanye's decision to release TLOP as streaming only is the right decision.
>>
>>63669130
>250 million streams
It definitely was a good decision but he fucked a lot of people around.
>>
>>63669147
The only bad thing about making it streaming only was making it platform exclusive to Tidal. If TLOP was released on multiple streaming services and exclusively on those services, people would be saying how much of a genius Kanye is. Physical releases are overrated anyways.
>>
>>63669130
>AnCo from MPP onwards is their best material. Early AnCo is trash.
MPP, Fall Be Kind and CHz are all probably their best material, but I wouldn't discredit Strawberry Jam or Sung Tongs. They're both really solid records.
>>
m b v was a great album and the most logical follow-up to Loveless they could've made. Any disappointment that stems from the record comes from people expecting another game changer like Loveless when in reality MBV always made slow, incremental steps forward in their music. People forget that it took Shields almost 10 years to make his way to Loveless, that shit didn't happen overnight. m b v simply takes the sound they perfected, disassembles it after the first third, and plays with the pieces a little bit.

Townes Van Zandt is kind of overrated/overhyped in the sense that Johnny Cash also is in country or 2pac/90s conscious hip-hop in general is. There are dozens of other artists in the genre who talk about "real shit" and aren't just hicks. Yeah, Townes is probably one of the best on a poetic level, but he's not the only one in the running.

With Hip-Hop becoming the next big genre of the generation, the overall quality of music decreased in response.

Literally anyone can talk about women's butts and shooting up imaginary people with a single drum note repeating, that is if the rapper decided to use drums instead of computers and mashed it with dubstep or electronic, which are arguably even more worse in comparison.

Fuck you, Lichen is boring? The closer (who gives a fuck what the names are t b h) has no substance? Blue Calx isn't good?

The first half def drags with the ominous dissonant stuff but the album overall is a goddamn masterpiece and out of all the "dreamy" fucking music out there SAW II is the only one that actually sounds like dreams and for that I will always love it

Get out

I said it in another thread but Broken Social Scene kicks the shit out of Arcade Fire and is definitely the best Canadian band of all time. And Elliott Smith never wrote a bad song (except for maybe some of the instrumental demos from Heaven Adores You but that's not an album and I resent it for sort of ruining his perfect streak)

Gorillaz is the best band ever. There i've said it
>>
>Ocarina / College Dropout
both retardedly overrated by people without taste (but pretty good). Great launching points that changed the game and set a solid foundation for the studio/artist and others even if they aren't GOAT tier by themselves
>Majora's Mask / 808s
Pretty much objectively not the best in the series even if it had some great ideas. People who want to stand out will say these are their favorites
>Wind Waker / Graduation
Watered down (ha!) projects that lose touch with what made the formula appealing in the first place. Again, still good, just disappointing as shit
>Twilight Princess / MBDTF
A throwback project that's a bit darker, a bit more grounded in 'realism', and is more grand in scale, yet harks back the stylistic origins of the artist/series. Personally my favorite in both and I think there are significant artistic choices that really give these projects life and longevity
>Skyward Sword / TLOP
Out of touch trash that tried to do too much and failed spectacularly in an attempt to 'modernize' a successful formula to give it new life. Basically, a failed reimagining of WW/Graduation, in that its attempts to become more modern actually distance it from its predecessors quality wise

They're not bad. Depends if you're into that music. There's decent complexity in a lot of their music too if you're interested in learning about writing music and theory.
