albums where the first track is absolutely fantastic but the rest of the album is shit/isn't as good
come together fucking slays i don't understand this opinion

>>65990634
>>65990657
face it, the album never gets to that melancholic high again where you feel truly alone in outer space
>>65990590
Cop Shoot Cop is the best song.
>>65990709
Cool Waves is about as good as the opener
>>65990694
The first 4 tracks are each literally flawless
>>65990694
Not true. Although I Want Wind to Blow is incredible, so are a lot more songs on the album. The Moon, I Am Small, Headless Horseman, and Samurai Sword are just as good.
>>65990709
no it moves on to other places and explores the rest of human emotions
for me the best tracks are think im in love, home of the brave, cool waves and cop shoot cop
I did used to think the first was the best though but only on my first few listens
>>65990615
Come Together is fine, its simply bad placement.
Placing a fairly standard rock song after a heavily layered dream pop song is a sudden shift, which makes people less favorable towards it.

>>65990841
i'd argue if you know what spiritualized generally sound like, and what spacemen 3 sound like, it's not bad placement at all, in fact i love the shift, it infuses a ton of energy into the start of a fairly long album and just generally rocks your shit, but i'll concede it is a little jarring when you go into the album relatively "blind"

the beginning of stay with me really grates on my nerves to be honest
sounds very cheesy
>>65990590
>>65990694
Nope, these albums are pretty bad as a whole.
>>65990947
Nope, even the first track is mediocre.
>>65990954
>mfw most artists are aware of this trope, so they'll try to be clever and put their best track second
>or worse, make it the last track
>>65990947
I feel like this album really encapsulates the extent of my music knowledge in 2009.
>>65990954
>>65990974
boy i'm glad you came into this thread
>>65990990
in a perfect world all track are equally as good, but in reality i think your last track should be your best track
actually now that i'm thinking about it, your best track should fall somewhere in the last quarter of the album, but before the last
Unknown Pleasures
The B-side is like Neu! 2, but worse, since Kraftwerk didn't have the excuse of running out of money.
>>65990977
Nope, I just prefer to listen to good music. If you'd like to start listening to good music, I recommend you start here.

you forgot to put pic unrelated there anon

holy kek
>>65991020
>>65990990
This is all stupid all tracks on an album should be placed regardless of quality, obviously a track that works as a closer should be last and a good introduction to the album should be first, all tracks work differently upon hearing depending on the place considering flow with other tracks and investment required for the track (can't put a really "dense" track on the last quartet of the album because you'll zone out).
I fucking hate this marketing based album crafting of putting singles first and making albums just a tipped over mess.
I don't know if it's just my autism but trying to hear a greatest hits album is fucking earbleading
>>65991108
Nope, pic definitely related. You just hate good music. I bet you think these piles of crap are masterpieces too, you pleb!
>>65990590

if i switched like 3 things from your chart into this one it'd be better.
>>65991187
And which would those be?
>>65991212
probably aphex twin, madvillain and antonio carlos jobim. i have a soft spot for that Goldfrapp one too (supernature?) but I think it only appeals to a specific audience.
>>65991081

>>65990590
This is a meme i never got.
The title track is great, yes - but I Think I'm In Love and Cool Waves are much better. All the songs between are decent too.
This meme would work more in the context of Loveless - not that i think that Only Shallow is the only good song, but moreso because it's the immediately accessible song for plen who are listening to it for the first time.
>>65990977
So who is viper for?
Retards who don't listen to rap and think it is funny still to shit on it, or is it actually a good parody of rap?
>>65991081
Holy shit

>Placing a fairly standard rock song
The top line isn't unprecedentedly great for a waltz tune rock tune and the chord prog is pretty standard but the arrangement around that fairly simple backbone is fantastic.
It's got all the cool timbral elements of a shoegaze track with crazy Talk Talk-tier guitar playing, cool synth tones, horn arrangements and a fucking gospel choir doing the harmonies. Don't know what rock you've been listening to where this is run of the mill but I'd like some of it plz.
>>65991292
no parody 100% legit
This so much
>>65991284
if im being honest, when i first listened to the record i was pretty perplexed because of how different the whole album was from the title track
if they started out with come together instead i would appreciate the slower tracks more and incorporate it to the space vibe and enjoy the rock songs
but like they made this fantastic fucking song which what i expected after looking at the title
Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating in Space and the really minimalist and kind of 2001 a space odyssey looking cover with the sample in the beginning and the vocals that put me in me in a trance but still feels depressing and the random electronic beeps like i'm in a spaceship or something
the song is just fucking fantastic and i love it but the rest of the album doesn't feel unique whatsoever
hopefully i get a recommendation of an album that sounds exactly like the beginning song though w/e
>>65991338
Okay so retards who just out of high school.

Everything after Graduation sucks.
Madvillainy has impeccable grooves.
While not the best produced album of 1967 (that would be Jobim's Wave) Sgt. Peppers has great production.

>the album never gets to that melancholic high again where you feel truly alone in outer space
I don't understand how people get that out of the first track and not the rest of the record. I Think I'm In love, Home of the Brave/The Individual, Broken Heart, Cool Waves, and Cop Shoot Cop easily surpass the first track several times over.
I say this with it being my favorite album.
>>65995415
kek
>>65991754
Absolutely not. The mellower acoustic tracks are among the least inspired moments of the album. Nothing comes close to the industrial goodness of songs like Bloodhail and Hunter.
Seriously, though, I believe that Spiritualized is one of the most underrated bands, dude's been in the music industry for like 30 years and he hasn't gotten the recognition he deserves. Sweet Heart, Sweet Light is on my top 5 and LAGWAFIS is GOAT.
Compton by Dr. Dre
The intro and opening track are incredible. Truly feels like you're about to hear something groundbreaking. Then the rest of the album happens. Theres some decent tracks and even some other genuinely good songs (Deep Water), but the album mostly falls flat afterwards. There's great moments, but even these songs are inconsistent. There's a song with The Game where he really delivers one his best verses ever, but then the song just ends with this technically good, but misguided chorus/hook. It just feels so rushed and uninspired. It's really disappointing after the opening.
Fuck you OP. Whole album 10/10.
>>65991952
>>65990590
/r/ing the version of this album cover where someone whited out half the letters so it said "Spit lid" instead of "Spiritualized"
One of his best songs.
Rest of the record isn't bad, just way too long.
>>65990590
Red Rain is a great track. Sledgehammer is also OK but it's lost it's appeal to me over the years. Everything else is hot garbage.
Think I'm In Love is the superior track, OP.
