/mu/ will nitpick this because they're faggots like that. But you can't deny how similar the progression are. Or you're just a try hard.
Those albums actually do line up pretty well. OKC/GKMC were the critically acclaimed "masterpiece", Kid A/TPAB were ambitious changes in direction, Amnesiac/Unmastered were a collection of unreleased songs that still come together fairly well as an album, and HTTT/Damn were both okay but kind of underwhelming compared to the others.

i don't see the point of comparing band two different artists who don't make the same music.
this is actually fucking my mind
>>73553545
There is no point. Besides being blown away.
>>73553503
Nope
HTTT is a very natural progression from Amnesiac, includes some of their most "out-there" tracks ever (The Gloaming, Myxomatosis, Sit Down Stand Up, b-sides such a Paperbag Writer and I Am Citizen Insane), at least in the top 3 of their discography
Meanwhile, DAMN. is Kendrick's most accessible album to date and a sell-out album, it's unlistenable garbage (HUMBLE. in particular is terrible)
Kanye is hip-hop's U2
And by that I mean their early career, not the later shit
>>73553613
Don't compare garbage to greatness.
saw that, blew my mind
>>73553613
this works better
>>73553569
Everything you said about DAMN. is what people said about HTTT when it came out. You probably werent there for it but trust me, give it some time
I always thought that Kanye was the Radiohead of hip-hop

How is HTTT a sellout album? DAMN. is so painfully bland and sterile it's not even funny, how could that possibly apply to HTTT?
>>73553503
TPAB is OK Computer desu
>>73553543
hoping Kendrick releases his equivalent to in rainbows then because i love the shit out of that album.
>>73553503
OD comparison fails considering its actually really fucking good.
>>73554228
Pablo Honey isn't that bad either
>>73553503
>Kendricks next album will be the In Rainbows of rap
I don't know how but he is somehow going to make the best album of his career according to this.
