What a fantastic piece of pop music. It might not be the greatest or most impressive pop album out there, but it's absolutely one of my personal favourites to listen to. I come back to it often.
Edit: holy fuck the more time goes on the more I love this album. Lorde is my GOAT fr.
Yea, I do think this one is slightly overrated. It's absolutely not Kanye's best, and there are a few less-than-impressive tracks here. But... This album also has some of Kanyes greatest songs, and some of my personal favourites.
It might be overrated, but its still great. Any rating under an 80 is just wrong.
Definitely an underrated one. Stellar album with no fuck-ups in my opinion.
A very dark and emotional post-punk album that deserves the high praise it recieves. I have the feeling that this score will go up when I listen to it again.
What were the critics listening to? It must have been a different album because this one rules. There is definitely a mix of genres here, but I feel like it works in the albums benefit by keeping things interesting, and making every track sound different from the others. This might just be my favourite Faith No More album, which says a lot because I really like this band.
Edit: Fuck it, it's my favourite. 85 -> 90
I love Indie / garage rock like this. Simple, groovy and enjoyable. The mixing and production is a bit rough, but I'm sure that was the point, and it really only adds to the experience for me.
What a crazy debut. Gotta be one of the best and most influential debuts of all time.
