― Tim F, Wednesday, 1 December 2010 20:39 (fourteen years ago)
Weezer - Pinkerton1) definitely flawed, but in the most interesting way that Rivers Cuomo has ever been flawed2) for better or worse (mostly worse) it has influenced a decade's worth of pop-punk and "emo" bands, also a pretty common touchstone for people of a certain age3) this is probably the weakest of the criteria for this album, but an argument could surely be made
fuiud
oh, also...4) "El Scorcho (After School Celebration Mix)" is fantastic

Yeah, I would totally give this one a 10.0 on my own rating scale. I think it definitely meets criteria 1 & 3, but I believe it is too soon to tell how historically significant this will be.
― one pretty obvious guy in the obvious (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Wednesday, 1 December 2010 20:51 (fourteen years ago)
Burial likes to make "hauntological" music but people actually came back from the dead to be on Natalie's album.
1 - 0 to Natalie.

2) historically significantA landmark in the career of James Lavelle and probably some other people.
3) captures a zeitgeistWell, obviously.
4) Has an "After School Celebration Mix" of key track.I think the Mike D song is called that anyway.
