You picked quite a controversial album to judge

If you don't like Stress then get off this board.

>>72461067
Kek m8 that's not even in the top 5 songs of Cross

I don't think anyone here considers it a masterpiece, but as far as dance albums go, you can't deny it stands tall above literally all of it's contemporaries

listening to this yesterday I realised that TTHHEE PPAARRTTYY would actually be one of the best songs on the album if the kesha-esque vocals weren't there

>>72461217
pre-Kesha though. Not my favorite song but not as bad as people make it out to be

Album is mostly great and like >>72461195 said it's much more striking and memorable than most dance albums. Especially when it came out

>>72461217
the fuck do you mean "without the vocals"
if you don't scream along to that track about taking dudes back to your hotel room and sleeping with them, i'm sorry to tell you, but you might actually be a faggot

almost anything p4k has give a 10.

You are doing god's work exposing these talentless hacks. Most of their songs are stolen from Debo, Michael Jackson or Thomas Bangather(Daft Punk). AVD shows how uncreative and delusional they are at actually composing music.

If by "comtemporaries" you mean rest of the ed Banger shill gang, then yeah. It has a few good songs, but the rest is literally overhyped hipster garbage.

Listened to it a few times and dont see the appeal

>>72462424
The end of Epilogue doesn't make you curl up into a ball and cry like a bitch over some future cancer victim QT you'll meet?

>>72462448
this loop is just absolute genius, sorry man

>>72462458
Not really. Cancer victims are usually all skinny and bald after chemo, not qt 3.14 tier

>>72462424
I had to go through a really shitty relationship with a very psychologically unstable and damaging person, so Hospice actually is one of my favourite albums, but that's purely because of personal reasons and because I relate to it and find comfort in the lyrics.

>>72462458
The album is not literally about falling in love with a cancer victim, but I guess everyone's interpretation works

>>72462464
please explain

>>72462489
Yeah, I know it's not literal but the imagery is so strong it's hard not to think about that when discussing it.

>>72462242
>the ed Banger shill gang
what the fuck are you even talking about

get off 4chan for a bit mate your brain is being melted by 16 year old shitposters

>>72462162
Didn't they steal more songs on AVD though? What compositions did they steal on Cross?

>>72462515
Yeah I guess everyone thinks about something different in their own personal way. The imagery of emotional abuse strikes me the hardest, though.

When has this ever been considered a masterpiece ever? It's a solid 7/10 if you enjoy electronic but far from a masterpiece.

You should have posted pic related.

So I agree the album has a whole isn't as good as everyone wishes it was but When Doves Cry is one of the best singles of the 80s and no one will ever tell me otherwise.

This guy is just being edgy, cross has always been liked here

>>72462269
Too many big features that keep the album from having any personality. I would like to hear the version of same drugs with Regina Spektor though, and Finish Line / Drown is a guilty pleasure

>>72465069
How many times did you listen to it

>>72465086
Atleast 3 or 4 times all the way through, but I've listened to certain songs more. I've never had an album I like take longer than that to hit me.

Also FWIW I'm a big fan of most of their contemporaries and influences.

>>72462269
Acid Raps was way better

>>72461033
Aside from Thhe Party (the one with the annoying kesha sounding girl) and DVNO all the other songs are pretty tight though, and they work very well together as an album.
I wouldn't say it's a masterpiece, but it's a great album. Calling it mediocre is just being contrarian really.

>>72462269
>i don't understand how much praise this was getting
Ok I'll explain it for you. He's the first artist to make rap bubbly and friendly in a majorly mainstream way. Watch the trend take hold. He got away with it on acidrap cause he was rapping about drugs, without acid rap nobody would know this album. I love acidrap but I'll admit it's objectively pretty shit, lyrically as well as musically.

It's a perfect hip-Pop album

>>72465116
yeah I don't really get this one either. Seems like above average synth pop at best

>>72465069
You haven't listened to it enough

>>72463134
Not his best, but your opinion is still incorrect.

>>72465545
It is. You know a better synth pop album?

this

>>72462424
I thought this too but the way he describes the end of life and cancer is too fucking real. Epilogue really hits the nail on the head in regards to describing how emotionally turbulent a dying person can be.

>>72465545
You can't take Grimesposters seriously. They're like Kanyefags in that they call everything their artist makes genius, except subly jokingly? Or maybe that's just wishful thinking.

Literally any other. Grimes is mega-shite.

>>72464193
I completely agree. it's corny as fuck, and by far the worst song on the album.

>>72463134
Just quit listening to music, you've failed too hard on a fundamental level . . .

>>72465558
Yeah that's what everyone says. Guess I need to go back to it. What about it makes it such an inaccessable listen?

>>72465499
What was it about it that made it click? Also, what makes it so hard to access in the first place? No other 80's underground rock takes that long to hit you.

>>72465517
>pop music
Alright, I'll bite. If Run the Jewels is pop rap, what do you consider authentic hip hop?

>>72465558
Since when has that ever stopped anyone from having an opinion on this site?

>>72466113
>>72466137
It only took about 2 listens for me to start seeing what was good about it, but I'd say it's one of those albums that grows on you rather than "clicks" suddenly.

It's one of my favourite albums because it sounds like a culmination of everything they'd attempted so far in their career brought together into a single package and infused with the minimalist improvisatory style they were experimenting with in the studio at the time, as well as a general higher level of songwriting quality, featuring effective use of counterpoint, jazz harmonies and infectious, anthemic melodies.

I'd say the reason this album is generally less accessible than other 80s college rock is that SY's music is informed much more strongly by Krautrock, jazz and the classical avant-garde. Most people I imagine go into it expecting either a fairly straightforward indie rock album (in which case they should be listening to Sister), or abrasive noise rock (in which case they should be listening to Confusion Is Sex). I'd say DDN fits most accurately under the label of "art rock" or "experimental rock", although those are both fairly vague terms.

literally every radiohead and kanye west album

>>72462269
It's not that good of an album but it got some good cuts on it.

>>72461033
I think it's good but not very consistent.
Would've prefered the whole album to be noisy electro/house with the funk elements instead of those cheesy dance songs. There's not many of those type of songs, but I still skip them to get to the actual meat of the album, which are songs like Stress and Waters of Nazareth.

>>72466553
Thanks. Yeah 2 listens is about normal for good music to click.

I listen to a lot of Krautrock, and I'm big into Minutemen, Dinosaur Jr, Husker Du, Pixies, etc etc. I went into Daydream expecting it to become a favorite, but it just bores me.
