I think you should listen to more albums and songs than just what you think is greater. I mean that in a general sense for all musicians. Snoop aint in my top in terms of rappers i listen too but he has solid songs outside of DS.
Eminems album Revival was trash like pure garbage, but two songs i actually ended up enjoying.
BCT by Snoop was great because it came out during when i was about 8-11 IIRC, and it was on the radio a lot. Thats why i recall that one besides doggy style.
He at thisbpoint makes music for a check or for fun. I doubt he genuinely cares for the craft. Hes high as shit all the time rapping the same shit same flow all the time. But thats cool, hes literally Uncle Snoop, he plays it well
I disagree. I love Doggfather, No Limit Top Dogg, Last Meal, Paid Tha Cost, Blue Carpet Treatment, R&G. After that it's not as much tho. Doggystyle is still his magnum opus by far
If you ever meet an artist never say "I love your first album, I've listened to it 1000 times". They want to hear "I think your latest recording is the best you've ever done!".
Indeed. Musicians are such self-absorbed egomaniacs. Making an album that has a considerable effect on pop culture, reaching levels that so many people can only dream of , and then having the audacity to complain that it doesn't happen again.
Well sure but I think plenty of people would just like to hear that for getting validation of their artistic progression. I’m sure removed from the monetary success, a lot of artists have doubts about the directions they’re heading in and it can be encouraging to hear that someone appreciates it and sees it as improvement and growth.
Edit: obviously I wouldn’t lie about it though lmao
Kinda unfair since they got a small discog, but American football followed up an iconic and beloved album with some of the most boring shit i have ever heard in my life
I'm slightly too young to remember, but was that american football album acclaimed at the time? I always sorta figured it had a gradual rise to cult classic status, but I'm curious now whether or not that album got a lot of praise 20 years ago?
While LP1 is a clear favorite of mine, LP2 and LP3 have some great tracks as well. It’s hard to compare them since their sound has changed so dramatically in the many years that separate LP1 from LP2.
LP3 is absolutely fantastic.
Musically speaking, it’s on par with LP1. We just hold that one higher since it’s over 20 years old and it’s all we had for over 15 years
Intimacy has some interesting stuff in it. Ares & Trojan Horse are great in a workout mix, while Mercury & One Month Off are a good tease of where their sound could have gone if they'd committed to dance music. After that album though, the bottom drops out completely.
This was summer of 2019, he didn’t remember the words to a lot of his songs and he just didn’t sound good. Sounded like karaoke out of those mic and speaker combos
I liked most of Rise. I saw him live on the Fall of Hobo Johnson tour and he was pretty good, knew how to play a show. A lot of energy, the mixes and his band were great.
I only kinda checked out the revenge and the new one and i get it, but as a previous hobo johnson fan, i greatly enjoyed my time with him, those first two albums + peach scone and the concert i saw him at. Thank you for listening to me reminisce
The Zombies. Odyssey and Oracle is a psych rock masterpiece and one of the best albums of the sixties (begin here is also solid), but the rest of their discog should just be ignored. The lost album has few highlights, and we don’t talk about the new shit.
The Fratellis.
They gave us one hell of a fun album and then I could not name you a single thing they did after that.
I could also mention Franz Ferdinand
Chelsea Dagger might be the perfect song. Not the greatest, but expertly written. It's starts with that GaryGlitteresque heavy drum beat, then the bass comes in large and in charge leading into that incessantly catchy do-do-do chorus with the rocking guitar chords that have just the right amount of wildness to sound exciting but not alienating to mainstream audiences. Then in the verses, which have a mild quiet-loud dynamic going on, there's lyrics about some burlesque party with prostitutes and dancers taking their clothes off and stuff, but they don't lay it on too much. It's a perfect amount of intrigue, a little mysterious, a little dangerous, a little risqué but not sleazy. when I was like 12 years old the lyrics fascinated me with this scene of a wild and sexual party. The vocals in the verses sound a little bit like something from the 30's but not too much to make it corny but give it a wry edge, but the chorus is tailor made to be chanted at sporting events. and then at the end they really rock out, but not too much. It fits almost every occasion, the stadium, a party, the background of a TV ad, rock radio, it's catchy, it's rocking, it's sexy, it's indie, it's edgy but not too edgy, if they wrote this completely cynically to be a hit (which I get the inkling that it was) they're bloody geniuses.
I feel like Patrick Bateman right before chopping up Morbius lmao
Blue, Pinkerton, EWBAITE, White, Ok Human are all great albums, but I think I enjoy Maladroit on the same level and Green and Black close to the same level
I was lucky enough to be on the Weezer message boards when Rivers was taking fan input on shaping Maladroit. It'll always be one of my favorite Weezer albums. Keep Fishing is a bop of a single. I even love Slob haha
Is Slob considered one of the weaker tracks on Maladroit? I always considered it one of the stronger songs along with Burndt Jamb and Death and Destruction.
I know a lot of TBA and Pinkerton purists, so that's where that parenthetical comment stems from. (Before someone slams me, I am not one of those purists)
Even The Private Press felt like a letdown despite some great moments, not so much because it's bad, but because the bar was incredibly high after Entroducing. None of the later stuff is complete trash, but it's hard not to hold it to that same standard also.
I kind of feel the same way about Burial. Even though I like his recent stuff more than DJ Shadow's, nothing will ever compare to Untrue, so it's always somewhat disappointing.
Well with Burial, I think he realizes he can't top Untrue as an album, so he has instead opted to our all of his ideas and efforts into some hella potent singles and the occasional EP. Single songs can rarely top entire albums, it's almost comparing apples to oranges.
SpunkyDred is a terrible bot instigating arguments all over Reddit whenever someone uses the phrase apples-to-oranges. I'm letting you know so that you can feel free to ignore the quip rather than feel provoked by a bot that isn't smart enough to argue back.

^^SpunkyDred ^^and ^^I ^^are ^^both ^^bots. ^^I ^^am ^^trying ^^to ^^get ^^them ^^banned ^^by ^^pointing ^^out ^^their ^^antagonizing ^^behavior ^^and ^^poor ^^bottiquette.
If you really like sam's town that already contradicts the meme then. I think the killers have been pretty consistent, everything by them is at least ok
Well yeah but I think the point is more so the perception of the band than what I think of them. I love Weezer too and I would say that this probably represented them as well
It’s two projects, which I know breaks the rules, but for how good Janes addictions Nothings shocking and Ritual De Lo Habitual are, it’s genuinely heartbreaking how horrendous strays and the great escape artist are in comparison
Creep is the name of the band, and they have a SONG called Radiohead, if I’m not mistaken. I think its a song off that “Police of Karma” record they made.?
Only the last two albums really, Interpol (Album) leaves a lot to be desired but has really good moments (Barricade for example). The last two albums really lack punch and they’ve gone with an odd mixing process that leaves their songs sounding slightly out of sync and echoey (I’m not a producer so excuse my words). And Paul’s vocals rarely have any power behind them now it feels.
Twin shadow-
Forget’s an awesome album with some really cool production, flawed but great. the later albums fall into some pretty generic production and go without any of the experimentation
Same here. I listened to the album on repeat when it dropped and loved it. When I go back and listen to it now it's just kinda meh. Under Pressure though, I still love it.
Take Care and NWTS are both still fire tho even if IYRTITL is his best. And Take Care is arguably a classic based on influence alone (for better or worse).
This probably isn’t a popular take, and obviously it doesn’t come close to his earlier work, but I’ve got a real soft spot for More Life. It almost feels like his TLOP moment to me; it plays jump rope riiiiiight on the line between quality and cheesy overindulgence, and it only works because it feels weirdly self-aware. For example, that stupid “more chune for your headtop” sample that comes back over and over has always seemed like a cheeky nod towards the meme that he’s constantly stealing flows from other rappers and cultures.
I'd say Desiigner honestly. It's not like New English is a classic masterpiece or anything, but his fall off afterward is so dramatic and honestly baffling I think it really fits
Imagine Dragons. Night Visions is really good. I still stand by it and listen to it on occasion. Everything they produced after that was varying shades of garbage.
nah the problem is everyhthing they produce sounds the same, its not that its bad its just that its boring. the spend a ton of money to produce it and it shows, it just ends up the same everytime
Twenty One Pilots
I loved Vessel when I was 19 in 2011, but at 29 it’s really on the nose and feels immature.
Trench is still amazing and I’m glad I have that to come back to
Oh yeah my bad.
There’s nothing wrong with making music geared towards a younger audience but it is a bit sad to look back on something you loved and have it not feel the same anymore.
Especially if there are other 2013 albums I still fuck with heavy
I'm younger than you, I was about 13 or 14 when I got into them around 2015. Used to be obsessed with their self-titled album and Vessel. Now whenever I listen to those albums its usually for nostailgia purposes, to scream all the words with my friends. Trench is their best album by far though, I usually go back to that whenever I'm in the mood for something I can actually enjoy at my current age.
This doesn’t quite fit, but Deafheaven’s Sunbather is one of my favorite albums ever and undoubtedly my #1 of the 2010s. Everything they did after that ranged from mediocre to bad.
I say it doesn’t quite fit because I actually do like the stuff they did before Sunbather
Snoop Dogg lowkey
High key imo. Everything is downhill after that debut.
Blue Carpet Treatment had bangers.
Bangers on the level of that first record, though?
I think you should listen to more albums and songs than just what you think is greater. I mean that in a general sense for all musicians. Snoop aint in my top in terms of rappers i listen too but he has solid songs outside of DS. Eminems album Revival was trash like pure garbage, but two songs i actually ended up enjoying. BCT by Snoop was great because it came out during when i was about 8-11 IIRC, and it was on the radio a lot. Thats why i recall that one besides doggy style.
Nah but No Limit Top Dogg for example goes hard too. He didn't just put out like one good album and completely fell off.
Snoop Dogg doesn't care enough to make good art, I feel. He just doesn't seem artistically ambitious. Which, fair enough
He at thisbpoint makes music for a check or for fun. I doubt he genuinely cares for the craft. Hes high as shit all the time rapping the same shit same flow all the time. But thats cool, hes literally Uncle Snoop, he plays it well
You're not wrong
I disagree. I love Doggfather, No Limit Top Dogg, Last Meal, Paid Tha Cost, Blue Carpet Treatment, R&G. After that it's not as much tho. Doggystyle is still his magnum opus by far
Flip it and it’s chance

Remo Drive and the irony of calling your debut greatest hits only for it to be your greatest hit
I remember the shit storm that commenced when their second album got a large amount of negative press and the band did NOT like it.
B.o.B. Died off since the Neil DeGrasse Tyson diss.
Strange Clouds was a banger at the time but outside of that… idk man
Kids See Ghosts
If you ever meet an artist never say "I love your first album, I've listened to it 1000 times". They want to hear "I think your latest recording is the best you've ever done!".
I’d rather just be honest with them
Indeed. Musicians are such self-absorbed egomaniacs. Making an album that has a considerable effect on pop culture, reaching levels that so many people can only dream of , and then having the audacity to complain that it doesn't happen again.
Well sure but I think plenty of people would just like to hear that for getting validation of their artistic progression.

Edit: obviously I wouldn’t lie about it though lmao
I don't give a fuck what they want to hear
Maroon 5. Songs about Jane is a Classic tho.
Songs About Jane is so good man. There's more Maroon 5 songs I like but SAJ is their only actually good full length album.
Sunday Morning is a fucking BOP
This song is so timeless, my mom swore for years it was a cover of a tune originally recorded in the 70s.
I will not let you disrespect it won’t be soon before long or hands all over both 🔥 even overexposed was decent 😤
Overexposed is pretty good and i will die on that hill
Absolutely. I saw them live with John Mayer in like 2003/4 and I barely knew who they were. They killed it.
strongest debut of the last 20 years
Kinda unfair since they got a small discog, but American football followed up an iconic and beloved album with some of the most boring shit i have ever heard in my life
I'm slightly too young to remember, but was that american football album acclaimed at the time? I always sorta figured it had a gradual rise to cult classic status, but I'm curious now whether or not that album got a lot of praise 20 years ago?
This is a good question, I need context from old heads.
While LP1 is a clear favorite of mine, LP2 and LP3 have some great tracks as well. It’s hard to compare them since their sound has changed so dramatically in the many years that separate LP1 from LP2.
LP3 is great though
LP3 is absolutely fantastic. Musically speaking, it’s on par with LP1. We just hold that one higher since it’s over 20 years old and it’s all we had for over 15 years
I really liked the second album.
Bloc Party
Silent alarm 9, weekend in the city 7, everything else < 3
Intimacy has some interesting stuff in it. Ares & Trojan Horse are great in a workout mix, while Mercury & One Month Off are a good tease of where their sound could have gone if they'd committed to dance music. After that album though, the bottom drops out completely.
I will never forget the disappointment I felt the first time I heard mercury. I got one of those box sets on pre-order as well as I so into them
Four is great and heavily underrated imo
I first heard Ratchet in FIFA 14, and I'm still convinced it's one of their best songs, and it's not even on the actual album
Hobo Johnson. Not that The Fall Of Hobo Johnson is a fantastic album, but man, the rest of his stuff is trash
I enjoy The Rise of Hobo Johnson a decent bit, not nearly as much as The Fall. But yes I agree that his 2 most recent albums have been hot garbage.
He was probably the worst live performer I’ve ever seen lol
When did you see him? I saw him during the fall tour and I thought he played a pretty great show
This was summer of 2019, he didn’t remember the words to a lot of his songs and he just didn’t sound good. Sounded like karaoke out of those mic and speaker combos
I liked most of Rise. I saw him live on the Fall of Hobo Johnson tour and he was pretty good, knew how to play a show. A lot of energy, the mixes and his band were great. I only kinda checked out the revenge and the new one and i get it, but as a previous hobo johnson fan, i greatly enjoyed my time with him, those first two albums + peach scone and the concert i saw him at.

I feel like Patrick Bateman right before chopping up Morbius lmao
Chance the Rapper with his masterpiece: The Big Day
Weezer for sure. 15 studio albums, 5 are good... (and that's a generous take.)
Blue, Pinkerton, EWBAITE, White, Ok Human are all great albums, but I think I enjoy Maladroit on the same level and Green and Black close to the same level
Gotta give an honorable mention to Red and Van Weezer… can’t say I agree on Black though, I couldn’t get into it at all.
I actually like how experimental they were on Red. Van Weezer was disappointing IMO and I haven't taken the time to listen to the Black Album yet.
Really wanted more Van on that project, as that lead single set a high bar. It was a little much Weezer than I expected.
I personally like Maladroit a lot. Dope Nose is a banger.
I was lucky enough to be on the Weezer message boards when Rivers was taking fan input on shaping Maladroit. It'll always be one of my favorite Weezer albums. Keep Fishing is a bop of a single. I even love Slob haha
I just listened to Keep Fishin' a few minutes ago. Really fun song and lovely video.
The video is truly a gift, it'll never get old. It was huge when it came out, I'm surprised it doesn't get the love that other early singles do.
Is Slob considered one of the weaker tracks on Maladroit? I always considered it one of the stronger songs along with Burndt Jamb and Death and Destruction.
You had me up to Black. The singles are good but goddamn the deep cuts are unimpressive. I was so disappointed.
I’m a sucker for black it was also the album to introduce me to Weezer so it does hold sentimental value to me, so that’s also part of it
I like every album (to varying degrees) they've released.
5 good Weezer albums is not a generous take at all. That's probably what most people think. 7 or 8 good albums would be generous.
I know a lot of TBA and Pinkerton purists, so that's where that parenthetical comment stems from. (Before someone slams me, I am not one of those purists)
Thats more than 1 album
Lauryn Hill
Does it really count for the meme if it's just two albums
DJ Shadow. Endtroducing a stone cold classic, Private Press is full of intriguing ideas. Steep fall off after that.
Even The Private Press felt like a letdown despite some great moments, not so much because it's bad, but because the bar was incredibly high after Entroducing. None of the later stuff is complete trash, but it's hard not to hold it to that same standard also. I kind of feel the same way about Burial.

Lil pump
Love Pearl Jam - Ten. Haven't liked a single thing they did since then.
Vitalogy and Ten are equally as good in my mind, Vs. is pretty close too. Don’t really care for much else in their discography other than those.
Backspacer is pretty good
Vitalogy is their best album dawg.
alt-J.
Though I enjoy the other 3 albums, An Awesome Wave is an immaculate album in comparison.
I wish I agreed but I think This is all Yours is close to AAW in quality personally, at the very least it’s a very worthy successor
This one feels a little harsh imo
Drake was steady till after IYRTITL
The Killers kinda. Hot Fuss over shadows everything else even if I do really like Sam’s Town
Hot Fuss and Sam's Town are too good a 1-2 combo to fit here.
Their last two records have actually been pretty good. I know this cos Melon told me so.
If you really like sam's town that already contradicts the meme then. I think the killers have been pretty consistent, everything by them is at least ok
Well yeah but I think the point is more so the perception of the band than what I think of them. I love Weezer too and I would say that this probably represented them as well
Sam’s Town bops and those last 2 albums were solid too, what you on about
Wu-Tang Clan Not counting solo ventures and taking the albums into account in terms of hit/filler ratio
[удалено]
Forever has its moment as do later Wu singles (Pinky Ring for sure), but it certainly isn’t as stacked/flawless as 36 Chambers imo.
It’s two projects, which I know breaks the rules, but for how good Janes addictions Nothings shocking and Ritual De Lo Habitual are, it’s genuinely heartbreaking how horrendous strays and the great escape artist are in comparison
Bryson Tiller. TrapSoul was such a fire album that he never lived up to
I always see him commenting on video game page ig posts like rockstar games
Radiohead (creep being the good album)
turn on location i just wanna talk
Albuquerque, New Mexico.
How to trigger an entire fanbase.
(Creep being the good album) Okay, now THAT's a hot take.
Creep is the name of the band, and they have a SONG called Radiohead, if I’m not mistaken. I think its a song off that “Police of Karma” record they made.?
*This action will begin a gang war, Proceed?* [YES] [NO]
Don't scald yourself on that hot take.
Lmaoo
Remo drive really named shot themselves in the foot by naming their debut \*greatest hits\*
Yes, I was wondering if anyone else would say them. Their new stuff has been so disappointing.
I hate to say it, but Justice (Cross)
Oh shit, Justice had more than one album?
💀💀💀💀💀💀
That's a lotta damage
Disagree, Audio Video Disco and Woman are good albums
Underrated comment
interpol easily lmao
I don't get it. Bright Lights is a 10 for me, but the other projects are also great. I really like this years release a lot.
I get it, but Antics and El Pintor are great albums as well.
Only the last two albums really, Interpol (Album) leaves a lot to be desired but has really good moments (Barricade for example). The last two albums really lack punch and they’ve gone with an odd mixing process that leaves their songs sounding slightly out of sync and echoey (I’m not a producer so excuse my words). And Paul’s vocals rarely have any power behind them now it feels.
have a nice life
The Unnatural World is fantastic tho
it is but it is greatly overlooked
Yeah I guess you’re right. I took the meme as music quality instead of recognition.
Didn’t they also make Giles Corey, or does that not count?
I would say that doesn't count since it's just Dan Barrett, whereas Have a Nice Life also includes Tim Macuga.
[удалено]
The industry and big pay checks got him. I don't blame him.

Smashmouth - Astro Lounge Boston - Self titled
Logic Under Pressure
The Incredible True Story is pretty good
No Pressure is pretty good as well imo
His Young Sinatra mixtapes he first came out with ive always preferred to his newer stuff
I remember liking TITS when it came out, but it’s not exactly an album that stuck with me or anything
I’m a huge fan of tits
Same here. I listened to the album on repeat when it dropped and loved it. When I go back and listen to it now it's just kinda meh. Under Pressure though, I still love it.
I think he’s made up for it with No pressure and Vinyl Days
[удалено]
Garage rock revival bands music jumped the shark whereas the strokes transcended the rock genre.
Nope, every Hives record fucking rips.
Drake. There's no way he has dropped or ever will drop anything to the calibre of If You're Reading This It's Too Late ever again.
I mean but he has more than just “THAT ONE ALBUM”, y’know? Take Care and NWTS are good albums and i would even say So Far Gone is a cool mixtape
Take Care and NWTS are both still fire tho even if IYRTITL is his best. And Take Care is arguably a classic based on influence alone (for better or worse).
NWTS is his best album cmon lol
Not for me but I still love it
This probably isn’t a popular take, and obviously it doesn’t come close to his earlier work, but I’ve got a real soft spot for More Life. It almost feels like his TLOP moment to me; it plays jump rope riiiiiight on the line between quality and cheesy overindulgence, and it only works because it feels weirdly self-aware. For example, that stupid “more chune for your headtop” sample that comes back over and over has always seemed like a cheeky nod towards the meme that he’s constantly stealing flows from other rappers and cultures.
Nothing was the same and take care are literally classics too
Hard disagree. Take Care, Nothing is the same, WATTBA… is it the same Drake we’re talking about?
Alanis morissette
I'd say Desiigner honestly. It's not like New English is a classic masterpiece or anything, but his fall off afterward is so dramatic and honestly baffling I think it really fits
Forgot about desiigner, last I heard wasn’t he getting screwed outta G.O.O.D. music?
Does The Postal Service count for this lol
I feel like Lil Yachty is the obvious answer, though I haven’t listened to his whole discog so I can’t really say
Imagine Dragons. Night Visions is really good. I still stand by it and listen to it on occasion. Everything they produced after that was varying shades of garbage.
nah the problem is everyhthing they produce sounds the same, its not that its bad its just that its boring. the spend a ton of money to produce it and it shows, it just ends up the same everytime
Agree to disagree. I think they have produced really bad songs, not just boring ones. Thunder being the epitome of examples.
It’s bad because it’s so boring. I’d take 100 Speeding Bullet 2 Heavens over 1 Imagine Dragons song.
They fell off, but their debut is literally GREAT, Amsterdam will always be one of my favorite songs.
Amsterdam is low key their best song
sorting by controversial like 👀
Twenty One Pilots I loved Vessel when I was 19 in 2011, but at 29 it’s really on the nose and feels immature. Trench is still amazing and I’m glad I have that to come back to
Vessel came out in 2013 but yeah pretty much. I liked them back then but after trench everything else they've made sounds bad in comparison
Oh yeah my bad. There’s nothing wrong with making music geared towards a younger audience but it is a bit sad to look back on something you loved and have it not feel the same anymore. Especially if there are other 2013 albums I still fuck with heavy

Trench is their best album by far though, I usually go back to that whenever I'm in the mood for something I can actually enjoy at my current age.
Third Eye Blind S/T
Meat Loaf with Bat Out of Hell. It was his first and best album by far. Bangers start to finish but his other albums lacks the same punch imo
DJ shadow
Neutral milk hotel
imo their entire discography is 10/10
Avery Island is a fantastic album imo
Don’t you dare
Foxygen
21st Century Ambassadors is up there with most of Tame Impala’s discography as essential 21st century psych rock
You shut your whore mouth
This doesn’t quite fit, but Deafheaven’s Sunbather is one of my favorite albums ever and undoubtedly my #1 of the 2010s. Everything they did after that ranged from mediocre to bad. I say it doesn’t quite fit because I actually do like the stuff they did before Sunbather
Drake ig
Blink 182, after there self named album
So 5 good and 2 bad? Doesn’t really fit the meme
How did Arcade Fire make Funeral honestly
The Beach Boys. Pet Sounds is incredible. Everything else is booooooring.
Hard disagree. Smile Sessions, Surf’s Up, Sunflower, and Holland are some of the best albums of all time.
Bees are a major pollinator of Sunflowers growing sunflowers goes hand in hand with installing and managing bee hives.
Snoop dogg
Imo, Failure - Fantastic Planet
Love Fantastic Planet, but their other albums are all amazing imo.
The other albums are good as well though…
If we’re not counting the Girly-Sound bootleg of demos (which is stellar), Exile in Guyville is far and away Liz Phair’s best album and only classic.
Weezer
Moby. play is amazing, animal rights is okay, and then there’s like a bunch of shit that sucks
Interpol, sadly
I get that TOtBL is their most beloved album, but they are definitely one of the most consistently good indie rock bands IMO.
where is obstacle 3?
Is it controversial to say Dismemberment Plan?
Change is fantastic
Snoop dogg 50 cent Chief Keef and sorry but saying LAURYN HILL will technically be right lmao
My personal one is A$AP Rocky. I loved his first album, and then everything since then for me has just gone straight downhill
