Doesn't mean I think that they're bad necessarily, just overrated.

>>69216114

>>69216174
not a bad list, but if you seriously think those albums are more overrated than Blackstar then you are literally retarded

>>69216174
nice list man

>>69216198
1.It depends on what you consider "overrated". When I imply that something is overrated I am essentially judging its hype against the personally perceived quality of the music. By using this criteria I actually can argue that releases such as Art Angels or EMOTION are more overrated than Blackstar. I'm essentially measuring the gap between the perceived quality and perceived public opinion.

2. While it is true that not EVERYTHING on the previous list can be considered as "more" overrated than an album like Blackstar (in your terms) but it partly serves as a statement as well. These are albums that were either recommended to me by people whose musical opinions I respect, or I read about being essential. The statement is that music is subjective and just because we are told that music is good doesn't mean it actually is. Find what you like and stick to it.

When music is commonly accepted as good and untouchable because it is lauded by critics such as TMT or P4k it creates a hivemind and promotes a stagnant mentality. This is why I personally love browsing /mu/, for every person praising something, there is usually someone who will challenge that opinion. It must be the anonymity that makes it easier for people to handle/dish out scrutiny and tough-love opinions. A fantastic example of the "stagnant mentality" I previously mentioned is /r/indieheads. I initially tried to browse that place as an alternative to /mu/ as I have been browsing here on & off for about 5 years now. I have never seen so many people parrot popular opinions, offer comments on albums they've clearly never heard before, and just mindlessly discuss the same artists over & over until they are told by a "music journalism" site that they should be listening to a new artist. I am also not saying that doesn't happen here but definitely to a lesser extent as opposed to that cesspool. Without consistent challenge and criticism taste will never change. Sorry about this, just felt like writing.

>tfw huge bowie fan and still havent listened to blackstar

i dont want the feels

>>69216494
tfw it was your first bowie album and it sucked so youve never listened to anything else by memeie

>>69216534
nope, tbqh its partly because its gonna be heartbreaking if it's not as good as im expecting and also because most most musicians dont sound that good when they get as old as bowie did

>>69216469
agree w the last paragraph

reddits downvote system is fucking retarded and unhealthy. Not to mention all the Pitchfork articles on indieheads, literally pitchfork could tell them to eat shit and they would

>>69216174
