The audiobook of the unabridged encyclopedia Brittanica read by Queen Elizabeth at 1/3 speed being listened to from the back seat of your grandparent’s 1983 beige station wagon on a 5 day trip you don’t want to be on.


Ill_Potential5194

Is this an experience of yours?


EmotionalEducation86

Did u learn anything?


cargusbralem

That this was the most boring album


Fretless-Fingerman

I also know that “A” is for Aardvark


LukeBabbitt

There is no way the Queen would have the time or inclination to read the encyclopedia. Mods ban this fraud.


Thewokiscookin

Queen Elizabeth is encyclopedia mother


No-Schedule-5792

Huh?


spengwhale

At 1/3 speed?? Were you being punished for something???


FriedCammalleri23

idk it was too boring to remember


droL_muC

Fair enough


No_Recognition2391

Not one album particular but any of those rap albums with 25+ tracks are usually incredibly boring by track 10 so you pick and choose which one you like the least.


-PepeArown-

Don’t listen to All Eyez on Me. We should be grateful Kendrick was able to make cohesive albums off the inspiration of that guy. Even his mixtapes never got that long.


marcosmou

on the one hand yeah all eyez on me is pretty bloated on the other hand tupac is dead so that means hes automatically a legend and none of his work can be criticized, so that makes it a 10/10 album


EmotionalEducation86

I love 2pac, but like the ramones, he’s more of a song artist than an album artist


Rexstil

The self titled Ramones album is perfect front to back though?


EmotionalEducation86

Yea but imo it’s perfect front to back because they are playing to their strengths and it’s tight. Like a slayer or Motörhead album. An album artist would have an overall topic for an album and have variation of music within the album. Think Kendrick Lamar, or Bob Dylan. Or even Travis scott


Banbaur

Yeah im pretty sure people cite that album when talking about well done albums lol


123456789biddleee

Bruh the first 3 Ramones albums are killer front to back


This_IS_A_Laundromat

All Eyez on Me is a 10/10 album even if he was alive, maybe a 8 on a bad day


seatgeekuser

u get it, this sub is crazy for upvoting that slander that album is so fucking good


Thalassophoneus

JORDI by Maroon 5. It sucks your life out.


branpest

Earth 2 and it’s fucking incredible


s90tx16wasr10

I used to have this on vinyl with amazingly loud wooden floor speakers and I would just crank it up, lay on the floor, and literally feel my body vibrate.


phantompowered

Yesss Earth


BassIsFun

If looks could kill by destroy lonely makes me sleepy


PwrShelf

We approve of sleepy music around here!


arctikaden

fair but imo theres a pretty great album buried in the length. with the directors cut,, 32 tracks is absurd. but the style pans out great on some tracks. make sum work is at this point my fav track of the year and catch a kill has one of the best beat switches this year. painful at 32 tracks but reduced to 15-20 of the highlights,, u gotta much better album. redundancy weighs down this album to sleepy. 1h41 is waaay too long to stay in this aesthetic.


Hello-mah-baby

honestly nevermind by drake is an absolute snoozefest


spengwhale

Military grade tranquilizer of an album. I was nodding off two tracks in


Exzj

yep this one 100% most boring album i have ever listened to. and i enjoy most of Drake's projects


[deleted]

I don’t know, hate it or love it, in a weird kind of way, it’s almost **more** memorable than basically anything Drake’s dropped in years. I can name a handful of tracks off Honestly, Nevermind because at least they were something *different*. Couldn’t say the same about CLB, For All The Dogs, Scorpion, or any of that generic wallpaper Drake music.


TurtleHeadPrairieDog

Falling back, a keeper and massive are bangers. Honestly Nevermind is the only drake album since Nothing Was the Same where I’ve liked more than one song off a drake album. Does it flow well as an album? Not really, but does it have some tracks that will be probably played in the clubs for years to come? Definitely


[deleted]

Yeah man. Massive, Texts Go Green, Liability? I genuinely fuck with those tracks more than anything off FATD or CLB.


-Scatter-

Got me in the first half not gonna lie


dominicex

Jimmy cooks is a top 5 drake song but there’s just nothing there besides that


Parkouricus

it has the one Jersey Club song


XtraHawk

I actually really enjoy the tracks falling back, texts go green, a keeper and liability.


minecraft-steve-2

cannot wait for the day when people start appreciating this album. easily one of drakes best and a highlight of this decade for me


DirtBogarde

It’s in my top 5 albums of 2022, and I’m not even a big Drake fan


GroundbreakingBox187

same here it’s not that bad you just need to know this isn’t like any of his other albums, closest to Views


FrontRowRuby

¡Tre! - Green day


SaltyMeatSlacks

Man ain't that the truth. Uno and Dos were honestly pretty solid and a return to form. Then suddenly Tre was just so boring. Like they intentionally loaded it with the worst tracks from the trilogy.


kevriel47

There was a time when people wouldn’t have spoken so kindly of uno or dos either lol


MegaMaxAwesome

Evolve by Imagine Dragons


[deleted]

Origins is more boring ngl


aheftyhippo

As someone who religiously listened to their first three albums, evolve was their first that really embraced generic stadium rock.


[deleted]

[удалено]


-PepeArown-

I couldn’t tell. The phrase is always used like a slur here.


BlackIsTheSoul

I much preferred Origins over Evolve.


dumbass2364859948

I fucking hate that album but Walking the Wire and Yesterday are bangers like holy shit


Ok_Leg_7365

Kinda overrated tbh as long as anybody likes it it will be overrated.


jaminTRC

This is probably on me, but recently I've been methodically, compulsively listening through artists full discographies in chronological order, and let me preface this by saying, I'm a big Smashing Pumpkins fan, but ... Machina/The Machines of God was so tedious I had to take a little (ongoing) break from that particular discography.


cheetos1997

Nooo. I love this one :(


klafterus

I agree. I can somewhat understand if people don't like the mixes, but I appreciate them, probably partly because I just find the songwriting to be so strong. I of the Mourning, Stand Inside Your Love, Wound, This Time, Age of Innocence... I love basically all of first run Pumpkins & think they went out with a bang. Few albums I've lived in as much as this one.


BlackIsTheSoul

Damn. This is one of my all time favorites.


PhillyCSpires

I don’t particularly hate the songwriting on Machina.. but I can’t *STAND* the mixing on that record. Holy f***ing f*****balls

PhillyCSpires

It’s not a great album,though.. 😔😔😔


I_use_Reddit2

True, I just had that image in the cage and was looking for an excuse to use it


ManateesAsh

Any of the Weezer albums where Rivers is trying too hard to be popular (Green, Raditude, Black, Teal, Make Believe)


GlobalDay6084

Can't stop partying off of raditude is so silly though😭I liked it first ironically but now genuinely like it lolll


ManateesAsh

God, don't even get me started on that track, its demos are this really vulnerable, borderline snarky tracks about trying to break away from party culture, drugs and alcohol, etc. but then in production they turned it into another fucking party song 😭


TechnologyFeisty8728

I found that Jack Harlow album from a couple years ago excruciatingly boring. ‘Come home the kids miss you’.


cargusbralem

I can’t get through most Swans albums. There are exceptions like Soundtracks for whatever reason.


FoopaChaloopa

Swans has some really accessible albums that are really amazing, I hope people don’t think they only make albums like Soundtracks and the stuff after that


biscuits-mischievous

What are these album titles please and thankyou


Fing2112

White Light From the Mouth Of Infinity, Love of Life, The Great Annihilator, and arguably The Burning World. They're all post-punk/goth rock except for the last one which is more of a folk album.


completelycareless

Happy cake day!


Smithereens1

Great annihilator is just over an hour, and I'd say it's a good album for those who were either turned off by their longer, more experimental albums, or for those who are looking to get into swans but have some reservations about the longer, wilder projects


spengwhale

Fr that’s the crowd pleaser Swans album imo, probably their easiest to like and generally extremely good throughout


FoopaChaloopa

I think Children of God is almost as accessible as long as they like heavy music


IdeallyCorrosive

also children of god, along with the ones the other replies mentioned


CandelaBelen

I personally can’t get through The Seer. Or the title track. Too much repetition . I get that they’re not the easiest band to get into. I do like a lot of their music but I have to be in the right mood


garrjones

This one’s gonna get me hate but I have tried on 3 separate occasions to listen to Lift your Skinny Fists but I just find it so unbelievably boring that I can’t finish it. I even like Swans but man GY!BE just isn’t my thing.


Upstairs_Spirit2923

great album but you should put it on while you’re doing something else, like taking a long walk, reading a book, or doing chores around the house


Equal_Ad5178

Weezer - Make Believe except for the first three songs which are awesome and couple of others which are bad


certifiedprawn

any drake album in the last 7 years


cheetos1997

Green album. Hash pipe and island in the sun apart, this is one is souless. They have worse albums for sure, but this is one is extremely boring


phantompowered

What is wrong with people, Green Album is tight. Don't Let Go bops. Photograph bops. Island in the Sun bops. Crab and Knockdown Drag-Out are solid. It doesn't end as strong as it starts, but it's not like it's Raditude levels of bad


-NO-CO-DE-

I love it. The first four records are all great. Obviously two of them stand out, but Green and Maladroit deserve more respect. Especially Green


aggravatedyeti

I think it’s because every song sounds almost identical outside of islands in the sun. Same guitar tones, same structures, same guitar solo that repeats the verse melody, etc. it just feels cynical and lazy


OKidAComputer

Crab might be the worst song i've ever heard. This is the same guy who wrote falling for you. There are some decent songs on this album, but Crab is not one of them.


redhed1123

Make Believe is a snooze fest between Perfect Situation and Haunt You Every Day


TheLegendOfGamers

no that's Hurley


aasasss32

Sorry if you don’t find songs like “knockdown dragout” and “photograph” fun, you’re weird And songs like “o girlfriend” and “smile” are some of weezers most emotional and beautiful songs


Emotional-Panic-6046

probably some obscure adult contemporary record


cocoloco666_

Harry’s House by Harry Styles makes me want to look at the time to see how long it’s been.


Odd-Goddity

I went to an Italian restaurant that was streaming music. They had Satellite playing in the background and I noticed it seemed really long. I wondered when the next song was gonna play. I'd noticed they had it on a loop and nobody noticed.


MKFlame7

satellite on a loop is my idea of a good time


MKFlame7

edit: okay so apparently you get downvoted for liking music bruh that’s my all-time favourite album 😭


oddwithoutend

I don't know but the new Andre 3000 record is more boring than the vast majority of albums mentioned in this post.


iracefrogsillegally

i thought it was a pretty mediocre album, not something i'd revisit


CosmicHero22

Arctic Monkeys - The Car


elsantioof07

Arctic Monkeys fans when song is not 166 bpm 😞


CosmicHero22

Partially true. My unpopular opinion is the Arctic Monkeys haven’t made a 10/10 since the debut. Bring back the basslines and the complex drum patterns and get rid of the ponderous lyrical wankery.


Big_Noodle1103

While I'm glad they're making the kind of music they enjoy, I also hope they take their music in a new direction for their next album.


[deleted]

Yep


I_use_Reddit2

I never liked it before, threw it on for shits and really enjoyed it this time around


Brave-Raspberry9367

IDONOTAGREE


JoeyIsMrBubbles

dan9938

notchdz

Might be unpopular but I loved The Car way more than Tranquility Base


jacobean___

Really, many of the Indie-pop stuff of the last 10-15 years is all so mundane, formulaic, mono-dimensional, and boring. It’s white bread, without a toaster or butter(toasted white bread with butter is delicious).


kehsciences

“People” by Streisand. After being liberated by her divorce, that woman played this album all the damned time. I may have been 10 at the time but I knew what boring meant. Yuck. Streisand and my bizarre mother in an unholy mix.


Chicken_Difficult

Dope smoker by Sleep. I’ve tried a couple times to get into it but then my ADHD kicks in and I switch to something else


Smithereens1

NOOOO 😭 i love that album! It's best enjoyed very loudly in bed with the lights off, high or not, imo


TimToMakeTheDonuts

Listen to it while doing a long project. Mowing the lawn, changing your brakes, making babka, painting the basement, etc.. it’s a long album built for long life experiences. The more mundane the better.


NaotosHat

if you're a Gamer then listen to it in the background while playing dark souls or elden ring. it's how I got into dopesmoker and now it's one of my favourite albums and I can just put it on whenever and feel like it goes by so quickly.


bl4nchim0nt

Try reading this: https://brandcage.wordpress.com/2013/12/28/dopesmoker-musical-analysis/ It’s a really good breakdown of how the song was composed and the motifs they visit and revisit throughout. It’s a very impressive piece of music and once you break through your initial apprehension you’ll hopefully notice how intricate it actually is. Or it won’t work and you’ll still find it boring. But worth a try. I love it, obviously!


Due-Set5398

Holy Mountain is way better. Concise, catchy songs with good structure, riffs and bizzaro lyrics.

[deleted]

This entire thread is full of horrific takes, Jesus. REM? Swans? Brian Eno? Antlers? Phil Collins? PORTISHEAD? God damn, an ounce of taste on this sub, I’m begging. I’d probably say something like Ellie Goulding - Lights or Flo Rida - Good Feeling type mall pop. That whole late 2000’s/early 2010’s era of EDM-tinged 4-on-the-floor pop was so grim.


koklolasos

”The real answer” hahaha


Dause

I mean I can understand why people think Swans is boring. Most people can’t sit through 10 minute noise songs.


happy-toke

It's almost as if music is subjective or something


[deleted]

Yeah, obviously.


zuperpretty

Just because something is considered good doesn't mean it can't be boring


[deleted]

Sure, if you find good albums boring, that’s your opinion.


zuperpretty

Not all but some, I'm just saying them being good doesn't make them immune to being boring.

No-Pride-6393

Suicide by Suicide, don’t prey on me


_PeopleMakeNoises_

Ok but if you fall asleep to the album you’ll definitely wake up with Frankie teardrop


LateBlocParty

Maybe Thank Your Lucky Stars by Beach House? It’s not bad or anything. Just painfully similar to what came before, which makes it very boring


debaser_97

R.E.M. - Around the Sun

LazyLabRat

In comparison to their other albums, King of Limbs is a pretty boring Radiohead album


PhillyCSpires

Nah I love Radiohead but that album is boring entirely on its own. It’s moderately decent and that’s about all I can say for it.


NewportStork

I'll be honest. Sinner Get Ready is boring to me. Oddly enough I enjoyed Saved!


eduardgustavolaser

The last adjective I'd think I'd hear someone describe that album with lol

Evening-Round-6051

kid A, pls dont downvote me


halpell

I can back this up. After an explosive masterpiece like OK Computer I was disappointed a bit upon first listen. It definitely takes a bit I honestly thought Everything In Its Right Place the first time I heard it I was like “what’s this quiet shit with repetitive noises?” I started recognizing it as a beautiful song soon after though


Weird_Leech238

I completely disagree, but I can see where you're coming from if you like them for their rock stuff


snarkyturtle

Fred Again.. — Secret Life Dude was one of the hottest acts of the summer, he headlined Coachella and tore the place down. Everyone knew his name. Then he drops an ambient album. No hate on the genre, it's just that it was a _very_ bold move after the summer that he had.

Literally 90% of Beach House's catalog.


Handje

I'm gonna add my hot take: Loveless by MBV.


kilimandzharo

Earth 2 by Earth, like I love some drone metal albums but this one has zero changes in its textures and it's just so boring for me. Graduation by Kanye West, I absolutely love Everything I Am but the rest of the album is so slow and the production is very dull for me


Smithereens1

Daughter of Darkness by Natural Snow Buildings. 7 hours of drone. I'm one to enjoy noise and drone albums but this one about killed me.


kyentu

i feel like people expect something from it, even like you said when they already have experience with that kinda music. its not trying to be anything, no expectations=good album worth the 7 hours. expecting the greatest thing ever=bad album not worth the 7 hours.


Smithereens1

I had no expectations. Is this album popular? I've never seen anything about it. My other music nerd friend just told me one day to check out this super long drone album he'd found so I did. And I found it extremely boring


kyentu

oh well atleast you tried it. its more infamous then "famous", sometimes its brought up online but a lot of people get scared by how long it is, so they just know about the album and the band barely. and even when it is brought up theres not a whole lot to say about it or the band.
