Title: Classic albums that you don't enjoy
Post by: seagrams hotsauce on May 29, 2016, 11:01:14 PM
Anyone have any of these? Two off the top of my head

(https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/6/6b/NasIllmatic.jpg)

Let me get this out of the way; I recognize this a classic of any genre, that Nas is a very talented rapper, and that he's at his peak here. That said, apart form One Love there isn't a single cut I have any urge to revisit on a regular basis. It's fairly personal, but Nas is so technically on point that most of it comes off as kind of clinical, almost sterile at points. I dunno if it's because I was too young to catch it when it came out, but listening to it has always felt like homework in a way to me, though I do enjoy most of the 'classics' from that era much much more.

On the other hand, I don't like this, nor do I get it at all, or really any Pink Floyd record besides Piper At The Gates. I listened to it a bunch when I was like 13, and didn't get it. Then a few years later, one of the first times I got stoned, a friend put it on and it was like "WOAH HOLY SHIT DUDE." I thought I finally got it, but every time since has been as unimpressive as the times before, sober or not.

I have a LONG list of classic rap albums I don't like all that much. 

On the Nas tip, I don't much care for IWW outside of I Gave You Power (Black Girl Lost is outright embarrassing).  Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik, 3 Feet High and Rising, Moment of Truth, The Infamous, and a whole bunch of other albums just didn't really connect with me.  There are quite a few albums from that era (probably a higher percentage than the ones I found disappointing) that I do fuck with.  Something about the ones I listed makes them sound "old" in a way that makes it tough for them to even hold my attention.  Stuff like the production (I still need to read that article on minimalism the other PD linked in the hip-hop thread) down to how the vocals in older albums tend to sound like they were mixed lower than modern ones keep me from getting the same enjoyment out of them.  I won't act like that's good reason.  I wish I could hear those albums the same way most other people do.   

Outside of rap I was pretty bummed out by Since I Left You.  Frontier Psychiatrist is hot, but on the whole the album wasn't all that memorable to me.

I question my taste each time I finally get around to something revered, then end up not liking it.  I'll never call them wack they just didn't move me for whatever reason.

I'm weird with Wu-Tang albums.  LS is now one of my all time favorites, but I didn't really like it all that much the first few listens.  I put it away for months then loved it once I went back.  I've given Cuban Linx a lot of tries over a few years, but I still only like about a third of it.  ODB took some getting used to, but by now I'm almost ready to call the Dirty Version better than the OG 36 Chambers.

I think the highlights of Cuban Linx either eclipse or outshine the rest of the album. Criminology, Rainy Days and Verbal Intercourse make everything else on the album seem weak

I also never really got SILY. It doesn't do anything Endtroducing didn't do before it and it doesn't sound nearly as good. I thought they were kind of hacks until I heard Girl Talk, who actually embodies the fraud shit I projected onto the avalanches

The early Pink Floyd albums are stoner records.  They moved away from that in the late 70s when stoner music wasn't as big.  If you don't smoke weed when listening to them or at least understand what smoking weed does when you listen to music, then the early Pink Floyd stuff won't register with you.  I hated them until I smoked weed.  I don't care much for them now but I understand why they were so big in the early and mid 70s.

I don't really know anyone who stans for Eminem past 2003.  There was a brief flare up with his 2010 album but it went away pretty quickly after that.

I feel sorry for anyone who thinks any Kanye album is a classic.  Most songs do not hold up because they were never really good in the first place.  Now that Kanye doesn't even produce his own music, I have to wonder why he even bothers considering how poorly his shit sells these days.

"if you don't smoke weed you don't get it" is a really corny excuse for any band/album, and also not even true for pink floyd esp dsotm, as noted

- The Bends is my favorite Radiohead album but I never got into Kid A or OK Computer.

- Can't really bother with Gang Starr albums anymore; again some classic songs in their discography but Guru kind of sucks without a dope Primo beat to carry him.

- Wu-Tang Forever never clicked with me, maybe if it was deflabbed into 1 CD. Liquid Swords, Cuban Linx, 36 Chambers, Ironman, all classics.

Jay-Z hasn't put out a single worthwhile effort since he came out of "retirement" in 2006.  I feel like his albums are classified more as marketing than as an artistic effort.

Paul's Boutique, fucking cornball shite.

I don't like anything from the Beastie Boys.  I hate that one guy's voice that is higher pitched.  I have no idea whose voice it belongs to but it ruins everything that its in, which happens to be everything the Beastie Boys is in.

I remember WTT pretty fondly, Magna Carta had two tracks worth listening to, those tracks with Ross and Jeezy were real nice and a lot of people seem to like American Gangster.

Pantera's two albums, Vulgar Display Of Power and Cowboys From Hell. I love the Cowboys From Hell song, and like one or two tracks each on them, but I can't remember shit aside from that. I'm sure we discussed this several times before, but nothing about them really sticks with me.

And I'll say it, don't care much for Dimebag's guitar work, either.

I was going to say the same thing earlier, but I didn't know if there were any Pantera fans here to troll with the post, so I decided to skip it.

-Heaterz

which of those tracks are bad, fam

Not to mention nearly every beat is dope and RZA was doing orchestrated hip hop and sped up soul samples better than anyone at the time. Shit directly influenced the sound that later came on Supreme Clientele and the Kanye/Just Blaze productions for Roc A Fella.

Hey, I'm I personally a fan of multiple pedophiles--William S. Burroughs, Allen Ginsberg, Hakim Bey--pedophiles can contribute just fine.

Led Zeppelin, however, just blows. They don't justify their perversions.

(for the record, I don't consider Polanski a pedophile. The record shows he was just a general sleaze that happened to fuck someone underaged. It happens. I wouldn't consider Bowie by this measure, either. Page is because he fucking kidnapped the chick.)

So all those songs with Robert Plant moaning and making orgasm noises on the mic were all about nutting in a teenage girl they kidnapped?

Oh, Bleach is the only good Nirvana album. Nevermind and In Utero have good singles but overall are 5/10 albums.

This would apply if MJ actually made great music, but there's also another reason it doesn't apply..

For the pedo-genius principle to apply, I believe you have to somehow acknowledge your perversion in your art, even if only once. Show that you aren't afraid of it. Not only did MJ fail to do this, but he wrote ridiculous songs like The Girl is Mine that implied he was into chicks. If MJ wanted to be a true genius, he'd write songs relevant to his actual life, like maybe a song about burying himself in the bottom of a McDonald's Playland ball pit and hoping that a couple toddlers would piss themselves while he was down there.

Also, I"d like to nominate everything by The Eagles for this thread. I'd like to say they're overrated, but I don't know anyone in real life that actually likes them. Yet somehow they have some of the best selling albums of all time, and their shitrock was played all over the fucking radio when people listened to the radio. Where are these fans? I'm assuming the fans must be some large demographic group I don't interact with, like hillbilly country fans that maybe found a crossover rock act.

I hate Sublime, but I could listen to their second album. The dubby/tape loopy one. That's kinda fun. They should have continued in that direction.

I guess I'll contribute.  I can't listen to an entire Beatles or Queen album.  I don't think they're necessarily bad.  But I get bored.  And I listen to classic rock more than anything else lolololol

I almost forgot, which is poetic since everything they put out is extremely forgettable: Opeth is garbage.

I liked Orchid, Blackwater Park, and Damnation.  I didn't like their 2005 album and haven't really paid attention to them since.

Rumours from Fleetwood Mac.  I don't think that's a controversial statement here but I know more than a few people (usually older than 50) who act like Rumours is an all time classic.

ajfa is the culmination of their wanting to make more methodical, structurally dense music that started on master, except where the latter had more genuine thrash cuts to chop up the pacing and actual elaborate composition in parts, ajfa doesn’t have the strength in writing to justify itself. Every track is three minutes longer than it has any reason being and they aren’t even that much more intricate than the stuff they were doing on their first two lps. The black album gets pointed to as the moment everything started going south but there were signs well before then, and even before cliff died, that they were pivoting away from the punk + Nwobhm fusion of thrash that made them fun; those guys at their best is motorbreath, trapped under ice, and battery and they start to gradually lose whatever thrash impulse they have left after they kick mustaine out (this helps explain why the four horsemen went the way it did compared to the <<<<<<<<< version of it in the og mechanix).

I do like the guitar tone they go with on ajfa  :yeshrug
