Heralded a Radiohead that took itself way too seriously, sucked any and all of the fun out of their music, pushed them into a spiral of self-parody that culminated in The King of Limbs

>>68174809

The cheap and cheesy sound of "sexy" quiet storm for white people having vanilla sex in their suburban homes soon spread like wildfire and became the background muzak of endless waiting rooms, supermarkets, mall food courts, and mediocre rom-com sex scenes, retroactively making Sade responsible for audio torture of the general population

>>68174811

Full of annoying Spike Lee-style respectability politics, misogynistic, romanticizes "the hood," another album that contributed to the ironclad macho posturing of hip hop and forced all the weirdos of the eighties to get in line with gangsta or get out, resulting in the negative image that rap accrued over the 90s with the mainstream, and the existence of 50 Cent

The Bends

>>68176004
>raw s/t elliott is best elliott
I can respect that but if anything Figure 8 is the overproduced one bruv

That's why I like XO so much, he plays around with interesting strings and arrangements without making every song a generic mess

>>68176059
I love a lot of songs on The Bends but probably half that album is Pablo Honey atrocious and you know it

Blackstar

>>68176102
>Pablo Honey atrocious
when will that meme die? Pablo Honey is not bad. It's just really, really average. You will find 100 other alt rock albums from that year that are the same kind of "meh, alright I guess". It's the fact that the later albums are really good that puts it in exceedingly bad light.

>>68175545
lmao but it aint mah dawg!

>>68176102
I have to disagree man, while I'm not huge on Pablo Honey, I think it warrants some alright riffs. But the bends was, for me, the perfect blend of amazing guitar work, synthesizers, mellotron etc., Thom's voice had peaked, and they weren't too big for themselves yet.

>You will find 100 other alt rock albums from that year that are the same kind of "meh, alright I guess".
That is exactly what makes it a bad album. It is indistinguishable from the rest of the early 90's Nirvana-aping alt rock landscape and does nothing interesting enough to warrant attention

>>68176171
>the perfect blend of amazing guitar work, synthesizers, mellotron etc
I agree that when they make it work it goes pretty well (Planet Telex, Black Star, My Iron Lung) but honestly I can barely remember a lot of the songs on it (and Fake Plastic Trees is the most overrated thing they've ever done (including the unmentionable song)). Agree to disagree.

lmao this nigga so insecure he has to throw up caveats

anyway smith is embarrassing, thinking he can coat his one-note twing-twangs in Respectable Orchestration and get away with it. truth is the execution is as clueless as it is clunky, shooting for beatle evergreens but landing in the lowest depths of britpoppy knees-up treacle. "independence day" and "question mark" is stale white boy groove 101, the 'rock' tracks are bland and smith's usual stripped-down fare, while as boring as ever, is let down by that awful, mannered voice. a trainwreck, courtesy of one of the worst artists of the nineties

Because those are the inevitable baseless criticisms thrown at the album. See: >>68176241

>one-note twing-twangs
Elaborate.

>truth is the execution is as clueless as it is clunky, shooting for beatle evergreens but landing in the lowest depths of britpoppy knees-up treacle
Meaningless Pitchfork-tier nonsense

>"independence day" and "question mark" is stale white boy groove 101
Also meaningless. But fyi he played Independence Day acoustic more often than not and the drum machine was an afterthought. And Question Mark is one of the worst on the album (even though I love the chorus).

>the 'rock' tracks are bland and smith's usual stripped-down fare
XO is where he started to use actual arrangements other than guitar-bass-drums for the first time what the fuck are you talking about. Unless you ignored almost every song and decided fucking Pitseleh and Tomorrow Tomorrow were the only "rock" songs on the record

>let down by that awful, mannered voice
"awful" and "mannered" are not substantial criticisms

In that entire block of garbage you got like one actual criticism in good job

The only thing that sucks about your pick for favrorite is you, for picking one of most universally agreed-upon best albums in history as your favorite for this thread. I bet you're fun at parties

The fact that so many books still name the Beatles as “the greatest or most significant or most influential” rock band ever only tells you how far rock music still is from becoming a serious art. Jazz critics have long recognized that the greatest jazz musicians of all times are Duke Ellington and John Coltrane, who were not the most famous or richest or best sellers of their times, let alone of all times. Classical critics rank the highly controversial Beethoven over classical musicians who were highly popular in courts around Europe. Rock critics are still blinded by commercial success. The Beatles sold more than anyone else (not true, by the way), therefore they must have been the greatest. Jazz critics grow up listening to a lot of jazz music of the past, classical critics grow up listening to a lot of classical music of the past. Rock critics are often totally ignorant of the rock music of the past, they barely know the best sellers. No wonder they will think that the Beatles did anything worthy of being saved.
