What the heck? Is anyone else surprised by the critical response

The albums should have their scores reversed imo

I guess I can see how it'd be polarizing. It really is AOTY so far for me though.

Yeah, Crack Up is incredible. It would be my album of the year, but Paramore's After Laughter is still a little better honestly.

No, I don't think it's that great. It is quite annoying at times tbqh. So many great ideas either lazily or just pretentiously executed.

>>73583074
seems like the critics were trying to jump on the bandwagon so they didn't seem out of touch. pathetic desu

>>73583074
Rap has lower standards really. So yeah, DAMN really is that good by those standards.

>>73583074
I like DAMN but 96 is ludicrous. That means its better than GKMC and as good as TPAB.
>>73583119
Crack Up and After Laughter are very different albums pretty hard to compare desu. I enjoyed Paramore album a lot though

>>73583158
They're both albums, you can compare them.

>>73583176
You could but they're so dissimilar that it would be a pointless exercise. They offer completely different experiences. May as well argue if Batman is better than Superman while we're at it.

>>73583158
I know. They're quite different. I was just trying to get across that Crack Up isn't my AOTY, because After Laughter currently holds that spot. And also, yup, DAMN. is good and all, but the critical reception that's followed is downright ridiculous.

>>73583424
The music videos for the Paramore songs were so great. That record has an awesome aesthetic

FOR
ALL
I
KNOW

lol children and their corporate folk

>A fucking indie folk band attempt to be progressive is a "masterpiece"

you people are complete vacuous human beings. It's almost like all of society has become dumbed down to the point where utter stupidity is promoted and praised. Here is an actual masterpiece:

my pleb friend told me it was generally good but nothing stood out and it all kind of sounded the same

>>73583488
they're not even on SubPop anymore, and this album is barely folk, shut the fuck up.

Serious question here: how long did it take you to become this fucking dense? Really, I'm planning on "getting into" classical music so that I can moronically patronize people by simply referring them to a performance of a piece by one of the most popular composers of all time. Since it's evidently low-effort and appears to require no real knowledge of music theory, I surmise it'll take me at least two days of reading this board's classical threads. Is my guess correct? Please, do tell me.

Come back with a serious response when you're ready. I'm not putting classical music on a pedestal; I'm putting a piece of music on a pedestal.

You asked me to tell you and I did. You cannot read.

Alright
You're discarding an album because it is an attempt at being progressive and because of its genre. You then proceed to post a so-called "masterpiece", which is a boring piece of trash by one of the most entry-level composers. Now I understand that classical music seems very complex to you because you don't understand music theory and there's a lot of instruments, but Beethoven didn't even attempt to be progressive.

Of course you do

>>73586182
I've been playing it since they made everyone play an instrument in fifth grade.

i was on your side for this argument and think the guy who posted the concerto was either baiting or a retard, but you lost me here.

I was not. What's your problem with it? It sounds like you are an elitist.

So? I play the harpsichord and I don't know shit about music theory

>>73586216
comparing beethoven to indie rock is fucking stupid and you know it unless you're just a sperg. but him calling it trash was also stupid

73586218 can stop now

you didn't go through any classes or training?

>>73586278
No, but srsly, is blowing the trombone that good?

>>73586278
I did, but I somehow managed to forget anything I learned there. I can read sheet music though, which is enough to play any pieces I guess.

Also had carillon training, and managed to leave there without picking up any knowledge of music theory as well

>>73586286
Is this some sort of homophobic joke?

I like playing the trombone.
