this but replace 5.0 w 0.5

An album full of really great standard length songs is so much more boring than an album jammed with weird shorter filler (and one minimal 10min+) and just 3 or 4 stand outs.
Probably not controversial around here

xpit's hard to explain.
Having tons of terrible ratings is a whole different ballpark animal. I don't understand how anyone would want to invest their time into reviewing bad music

Rating ≠ reviewing.

I find washed down pseudo funk bands from the 90’s like say Jamiroquai or Fun Lovin Criminals to be laidback and cool and think they have aged better than most rock music from the decade.

Drukqs is a well-sequenced album. I like how the ultra-dense, aggressive d'n'b tracks alternate with brief ambient interludes, little odds & ends, prepared disklavier tracks, etc. It makes for a less exhausting listen, with moments of relief and odd beauty/humor.

Sometimes I get a kick out of reading bad user reviews for albums I love. Then I click on the user to see shitty music they like.

some music fans' desire to classify things into neat one genre boxes is one of the most frustrating part about talking about music. not that controversial imo but for whatever reason people start to defend their right to listen or discuss however they want etc which is not really what i was getting at to begin with

’80s music is overplayed/overvalued. Now that Boomers are no longer steering the cultural ship, music from the ‘50s & ‘60s has become slightly undervalued. Music from the ‘70s and ‘90s is appropriately valued.

Fill scores are not meant to be listened to on their own (even though they’re made available that way).

I know this is a space for challops but a Grouper song came on last night randomly as Spotify was left to its own devices and it was strikingly beautiful enough that a conversation I was in basically stopped mid sentence and I think we were all OK with it.

Acts like Daphne & Celeste only work if you didn't loathe sing-songs as a child. Otherwise it's a dual nightmare: not only is it insufferable in the present, it also recalls long-buried sonic traumas.

This sounds like a comment on their 2000/2001 releases, not their new album

I've only heard their new album. Well, the first three tracks or so – I had to make it stop.

Extended/12" versions of beloved radio-length pop songs are almost always disappointing.

Listening to a 90s live set by Ernest Ranglin and being reminded about wondering if the Skatalites were an influence on math rock. INtricate repetitive details niggled at by various instruments to a rhythm.
Also Sister Ray as a great monolithic funk jam. Always reminds me of gogo

I mean I've never heard a good thing said about Puff Daddy's "Come With Me", but maybe I hang out with the wrong people.

Tenacious D's first album is a front-to-back classic.
LIVE had some great singles. Shout out to Dolphin's Cry and Lightning Crashes in particular, I can even forgive them for the Her Placenta Falls To The Floor bit.
The singles off the first Matchbox Twenty album are great.
