Happy Sad is better, but Goodbye and Hello isn't exactly terrible.

Goodbye and Hello is great, Carnival Song and Phantasmagoria in Two rank among my favorites from him but Happy Sad is the beginning of his finest work and it's just so impressive to hear it so early, he was only 21 when he recorded it.

Marble Index is without question my favorite thing she has ever done and it's a shame that The End... doesn't get the same recognition and I'm one of those people that likes the solo stuff from the members of Velvet than Velvet itself.

Spirit of Eden is great, but you're really undermining the Colour of Spring now. Sure it has some pop tones, but tracks like Chameleon Day, April 5th and especially the B-sides are more-or-less Spirit of Eden level.

And then another with OK Computer, and then another with Kid A.

To contribute, Illinois, Feels, Loveless, Spiderland, Pet Sounds

I agree with this. Half of Construction Time Again was pretty weak.

Danny Brown - XXX
The Fugees - The Score
Freddie Gibbs (and Madlib) - PiƱata

I am still the only one on this board that loves his funk stuff
It was so cheesy but very endearing

Not bad I think it's decent, Voodoo is a big step up from Brown Sugar but I think Black Messiah is multiple times better than both

i mean, it can be enjoyable, but it's just such a massive artistic regression compared to what he had been doing for years prior

>>65597786
eh, he could see it, but he couldn't quite grasp it yet

It's what makes Tim Buckley the GOAT, no artist in the 20th century was more daring. To go from hippie folk to wild psych rock with avant-garde touches to sexy funk music takes an artistic ambition that few can even dream of and when he died at the tender of age of 28, he had 9 albums out, an entire saga of music.

that's not artistic ambition, that's commercial ambition
he was fucking great but don't kid yourself, his funk stuff was an understandable attempt to get more popular after starving for years and is severely lacking in real substance

It was still miles better than his debut, though. If artists had a canon, his 1967 album would have been retconned a long time ago. This was his true debut album.

Kill yourself, Goodbye and Hello is the second best album of 1967, just because he changed so much and remained so good, doesn't mean his early work was bad

It's great, but not on the same level as his other work

>>65597898
>has never listened to Metal Circus
Why?

And if you want to get technical, Zen Arcade is their first album

Everything Falls Apart was an LP..

and it's a Replacements tier leap over it.
>>
>>65598066
It more or less was retconned, though. It's constantly left out of compilations and reissue series.
I distinctly remember the 1999 album reissues including a pamphlet listing every album, even Buddha of Suburbia, but not the 67 album.
