Here's an example of when the contrarian as fuck choice is also the correct one.

>>70691029
Lodger is great it's in my top 5 Bowie albums.
I guess The Campfire Headphase By Boards of Canada

The live tracks give it that sense of organic grit that to me makes it their best

Massive Attack - 100th Window
Aphex Twin - Ventolin
Einsturzende Neubauten - Perpetuum Mobile
Boards of Canada - Boc Maxima
Burial - s/t, Ghost Hardware
>>70690482
the true contrarian choice is Biophilia

>>70691154
Except biophilia is the patrician choice

The Antlers - In the Attic of the Universe
Pink Floyd - Meddle

>>70691029
Fuck off, Lodger's a perfectly viable pick for Bowie's best album, I'd say almost every one from '69 to '82 has rotated between being my favourite at one point.

AnCo - Danse Manatee

Death Grips is legitimately one of the worst bands of all time.

This is what happens when a bunch of faux-artsy numales really want to be cool and different but are too dumb and uninteresting to do it any way possible and also think they're too good for anything that conveys any kind of emotion. Or is catchy. Or is written well. Or has anything redeeming.

Listening to this god-awful band is like having an 8th grader beat me over the head with a finger painting. It is so contrived it's agonizing. These guys so hard to be edgy it sounds like the members have veigns popping out of their forehead.

It goes out of its way to be different because it has no other ways to be interesting and the way it's different is just random bullshit. It's lame as fuck and them cranking that factor up to 11 doesn't change that.

I don't expect any kind of rebuttal because their fans are the worst kind of hipsters that act like babies when someone doesn't like what they like and think insulting someone is an argument.
The problem is that Death Grips are a special kind of unlistenable; their albums don't reward active engagement, but they don't make good background music, either. Their brand of angst is cloying and grating like an attention-starved, sugar-crashing eight-year-old who wants you to admire his finger painting, while you're trying to wash the dishes.

>>70697591
implying this isn't the greatest album of all time

>>70694570
this one actually triggers me

>>70690482
just grab a popular artist (has to be relevant so people will actually give a shit and call you names) and choose their less acclaimed album. not that hard.

>>70697805
2/10
too angsty

>>70690482
I actually agree with you, anon. Debut is unironically my fave Bjork album. (I prefer her more electronic sound.)

Yes - Big Generator

>>70691070
> i need some money for heroin - the album

>>70698815
literally my favorite (and scruffies) th album

>>70698842
Their later work is objectively better. Speaking in tongues and Remain in Light are flawless

>>70690677
>never let me down
who even thinks that is the best bowie album

>>70700430
Prisma, probably.

Biophilia is by far my favourite Björk album. I will never understand why fans don't like it more.

>>70694484
This is unironically my favorite Beach Boys album.

>>70690677
>stevie at the beach

I fucking love young Stevie's voice

>>70692401
I listened to that one again recently. I'm a huge Radiohead faggot. But Jesus, that album is just so damn boring. I nearly fell asleep. What were they thinking?

>>70697805
0/10 nice copypasta

Admit it you fags.

not exactly what OP is looking for, but the US release of Rubber Soul is superior to the UK version.

UK version is the only version that was released on CD worldwide, though. Which means that was what got ripped, so most internet versions are UK.

I love the song "Drive my Car," but the US version of Rubber Soul has a very sustained, somewhat melancholy mood that the UK version--which starts off with DMC--never attains.

>>70692529
the only people who like fear of music most are dads who were around when it came out.

also freedom of choice? kys

>>70692401
If it weren't for Kid A it'd be my favorite. No need to call someone dumb for having a completely reasonable opinion.

>>70701412
this is contrarian? its his only worthwhile album

>>70700430
Piero Scafurri

>>70701979
The whole point is that it's contrarian you fuck.

>>70701393

Pink Floyd: The final Cut
Sure it's great if you like Roger Waters but as a Floyd album it's really lacking. Prime Pink Floyd was between 1969-1977 IMHO

Roger Waters: Amused to Death
It's a shame he can't sing like he used to.

It wouldn't be contrarian to prefer any of Kanye's studio albums over another, they're all masterpieces.
