Why the fuck do you all think Remain in Light is better than

77 is their worst album. Prove me wrong.

>>71759141
But it has their best songs. How could it be their worst?

>>71759141
You've clearly never listened to Naked

>>71759014
Still not as good as More Songs

No, you've clearly never listened to Naked, because that's their third best album.

>>71759014
Agreed, this has always been my favorite of theirs but /mu/ ignores it

>>71759141
No, but it is the worst of their albums considered a classic.

77 was mixed poorly, there's no "punch" in any song, it's all quiet and every instrument is equally loud.

More Songs is the superior sibling to 77

>>71759141
Not their worst, but one of their worst

Not him, but what's wrong with Naked? It's a criminally underrated album, and I'd argue that Blind, Mr. Jones, (Nothing But) Flowers, The Democratic Circus, and Bill some of the best songs of the band's entire career.

Blind and Nothing But Flowers are literally the only songs on Naked that are good, and they are pretty good for sure. The rest are genuinely bad- some incredibly bad.

Not at all, my friend. Though Speaking in Tongues is of course a good album, it's a very underwhelming one, with only a few great songs. To me, it's an album that just sort of happens, and is very forgettable because of that. Naked, on the other hand, is the natural conclusion to Remain in Light's African-influenced musical style. Not only does it have a very distinct sound to it that hasn't been attempted by too many other Western pop musicians, but the songs themselves are memorable as well. Sure, the lyrics are a bit cheesy at times, but if you told me to recall the choruses to all of Naked's songs, I could do it with ease. Also the production on Speaking in Tongues sounds a bit too 80s for me, but that's just nitpicking.

I guess it all comes down to personal taste, but personally I think many of the other songs are worth listening to as well. I will say that The Facts of Life is pretty shit, though.

Only correct list ITT

>>71759014
Remain in the light is boring as fuck if compared to 77.

>>71762363
>SiT that low

I used to hate it, but its a solid album with good bass and dance to it

>>71762363
Switch Speaking in Tongues with More Songs and you've got it

>>71762582
its not bad, just extremely normie tier and boring compared to the rest of their discography
