"my hottest take is probably my score for Glenn Branca's The Ascension. My score is like a 46 when the average is well into the green."

"One take I posted on twitter was Quadeca's "I Didn't Mean to Haunt You" is a modern classic. Mainly because it's an album that sounds unique and has so many emotions that I have never heard in a record before, maybe even ever."

"My hottest take would probably be that Ants from Up There is not #1 AOTY worthy.
It's a great album (I gave it a 90), but it's not the masterpiece of writing that a majority of users suggest it is."

"Pantera is boring as hell in my opinion. The mixing and production on their albums is terrible, the vocals are shoddy, and I think they only have a couple of good songs in my opinion."

My take
Jeff Buckley is a far superior singer than Thom Yorke. I feel like Jeff has a more diverse vocal range and temper, he wrote better vocal melodies and his influations when he sings are more expressive than Thom's.

"I think my biggest one would be that I think "The Turning Wheel" by Spellling is just alright. It doesn't do much for me, as it's too theatrical for my tastes. I appreciate what they're doing, but it's not something I really wanna go back to."

i think it has the coolest story/world out of all their albums and as for the music itself it's super upbeat and fun it's just a big dance party"

@DemaCalling96's take
"my hot take is… LOVELESS BY MY BLOODY VALENTINE IS PROBABLY THE MOST OVERRATED ALBUM OF ALL TIME!!
It’s just so boring. There’s only a few times where I’m actually interested in the album, like with When You Sleep and Loomer. But most of the time, I just don’t care for the record and there’s just so many better shoegaze projects. I don’t see why so many people think it’s a masterpiece and praise it so much."

"I think that one I have is that I thought that Mercury Act 1 by Imagine Dragons is a good album. I thought that it was a good album and was a step up from Evolve and Origins. The production was good on this one, the instrumentals were quite good, and the vocals are really good in my opinion (even though I was mixed on them at first). The lyrics could use some past, but I liked this one."

"Gorillaz is overrated, their music just doesn't do much for me, people look at them like they're the pinnacle of music, all because they released Feel Good Inc. But their recent albums have been pretty stale in comparison to their previous stuff, which I think is good, but not the holy grail. While I did give Demon Days a 91, I barely listen to it at all, and that's probably on me, same with Plastic Beach which I gave an 87."

"MF DOOM is the greatest rapper of all time, period. He has the best discography with multiple aliases that come together to create a really immersive comic story, his storytelling ability is incredible, and his ability to rhyme each syllable with the next syllable is still unmatched by any other rapper, and it's all made better by the fact that he kept his identity secret."

"So in my opinion Tha Carter III by Lil Wayne is super overrated.
A lot of the songs on the album has aged horribly, Lil Wayne has plenty of corny and stupid bars throughout the album and the production is quite mediocre on a decent amount of the tracks."

"I listened to Soundgardens 'Superunknown', and I didn't really listen to it much to begin with, but, I started listening to the songs more often, and I've started to enjoy it more, and I personally think that Superunknown is better than Nevermind by Nirvana, but it also might be a case of recency bias as I've been going through and listening to the songs, and I just enjoy it more. Don't get me wrong, Nevermind is an incredible album, I love it a lot, but Superunknown has some really good songs on it as well."

@artyomin's take
"In Rainbows is insanely overrated. The fusioning of electronic music and rock is off-putting and even tacky occasionally, the songwriting is strangely formless most of the time, and the whole album experience is kinda incohesive tbh. The only two things holding this album together are its eclectism and its lyrics. Otherwise, it just leaves me more so confused than satisfied.
I mean, it's still kinda good, but would I say it's one of the best albums of all time like other people do? Nuh-uh, I don't think so."

"Bring me the horizon, linkin park, and other "pop-metal" bands are more important/valueble/influential to the metal community than they give them credit for.
While their more pop-ish output may be considered trash by people in either the metal community, rock community or pop community etc, they definitely got more eyes and ears on the metal scene and made lots of people enter the scene and discover a new passion. Some of these people may form metal bands that ensure a new kind of freshness in this scene in the future."

“I think How to Save a Life by The Fray is the 2nd best album of all time because it's a perfect reminder that cheesy music isn't a bad thing. The album also helped me cope after my first suicide attempt in December 2022, and shined a new light on the album. My peers [and other people on RYM & AOTY] have criticized it for being boring and lacking ambition, but it's an important album for me due to it saving my life.“

"Self Esteem - Prioritise
Copy from my review: The critics are bonkers. Prioritise Pleasure is miles away from an 80+ score, let alone a 93. This album took some of the worst parts of generic pop music and implemented them all with substandard execution. The vocals are iffy, the lyrics are shallow, and the production is absolutely horrendous at times."

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Blood Sugar Sex Magik
I cannot deny the talent that other band members bring to the table, and the creative effort behind this album is admittedly remarkable. But I find Anthony Kiedis to be an incredibly annoying vocalist, so it ended with me giving the album a 40.

Nick Drakes - Pink Moon is a perfectly average album (50/100). The lack of instrumentation lead to there being nothing that I could latch onto, which made every song end up meshing together in to something that I can't find anyway to hate on, but can't praise it. To make this take spicier, I am a fan of ambient/drone music which is also minimalist like Pink moon

Rainbow Bridge 3 by Sematary is better than DSOTM, Abbey Road, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy and even Illmatic. 101/100 made me hit a furious jig.

I've come back to give another take:
I think TOPAZ - High Society is the most underrated album ever, it may have 100 on AOTY but that's only from me. It's such an amazing album, and it doesn't have nearly enough attention for what it is. TOPAZ as an artist is generally insanely underrated, the production on all of his albums is absolutely amazing (except Faux Linear where it is a bit bland). And his projects, Phrases EP, High Society, and Welcome to My Garden are all perfect.

Hot Take: Melophobia by Cage the Elephant is incredibly incredibly overlooked and underrated. There are no skips and every song hits, and it deserves to be in conversation for best album of the 2010s

A hot take that I have is that I've always found GY!BE's debut to be unbelievably mid and overrated. I love the band, but I really do not understand how that album is so praised when for the half of it there's literally nothing happening. The cohesion is also not there at all, and almost everything that the band released afterwards is leagues better then their boring ass debut.

Thank you for adding me on this list! def one of the most creative list ideas I've seen

Coming here again to leave another hot take: All the Right Reasons by Nickelback isn't bad, whilst I can see why people would think it's bad, it's fun music that I don't need to focus on, their entire discography is just mindless music that I can listen to whenever I need some rock that is just filler. The same thing goes for LMFAO and Redfoo's music, it's fun, and whilst it's low value pop music, it does it's job just fine.
Just remember, it's fine to enjoy stuff like that, not every song you listen to has to be critically acclaimed in one way or another, as long as you enjoy it, who cares.

I actually just started to think and I've started to realise that I might not like LCD Soundsystems debut album. I gave it a pretty high score and I have a bunch of the songs liked on Spotify, but if I'm gonna be honest, I don't listen to it that much. It might be that there are other songs that I prioritise over them, but I don't like listening to them, I don't know if its his voice, or the wacky instrumentation that makes it hard to focus while listening to, similarly to Justices self titled album that's also quite on the abrasive side.
At the moment, I'd like to think I would still enjoy them, but I'll have to listen to more stuff from LCD Soundsystem as it could be that I'm unfamiliar with their style.

Here's my sad hot take:
The OOZ by King Krule is heavily overrated, and it saddens me. I really wanted this album to click for me, but all I ended up getting was to be let down more. My main issue with The OOZ is it's pacing issues around the middle. Most of the songs around there either made me want to go to sleep, or made me cringe to the point where I wanted to quit the album entirely. While I found a few songs, especially from the start and end to be tolerable, the majority of the songs around the middle made The OOZ feel bare-bones and straight up unlistenable at points.

My peers [and other people on RYM & AOTY] have criticized it for being boring and lacking ambition, but it's an important album for me due to it saving my life.

Alright, I'll bite. Here's my hot take:
I find Radiohead's OK Computer pretty overrated. It's not terrible by any means, and I liked some of the songs on it, but much of the album just didn't really interest me. The singing kind of grated on me, the instrumentation just wasn't really to my tastes, and the whole thing was a little too slow-moving to keep my attention.

ayy thanks for having me!! i loved reading everyone else's opinions even if i disagreed with some
also i agree that that tones and i album is kinda overhated, i certainly don't like it but it's definitely not the worst thing i've ever heard

i have a lukewarm take, but just to contribute to the list,
1000 gecs is one of the worst albums i've ever heard, the production is so over the top for absolutely no reason, and it feels like it's trying to "be hip and break the mold" with its production when in the end it's just glorified earrape, easy 5/100
