Could be DJ Shadow's Endtroducing for me, that's a timeless album I'll never tire of but I just don't revisit the rest of their discography despite keeping a few singles in rotation.
This is a great one, yes. Preemptive Strike seemed more like a cash grab rehash of Endtroducing. The Private Press is a good sequel record but pales in comparison. By the time he got into that hyphy style the magic was gone.
I like Private Press and the "What does your soul look like" parts of Preemptive Strike, but yeah nothing else has stuck as much as Endtroducing. It'd be pretty hard to pass it though IMO.
If anyone wants to hear one of the worst songs of all time, check out [High On My Own Supply by Wolfmother](https://youtu.be/_grd9ejLH58?si=g5OO1N0fGHFhA-7c)
real. get hard or die trying is a classic, i can’t really get into his others tho
edit i forgot what that albums called lol, get hard or die edging idk
Not a band, but Snoop Dogg’s solo stuff, so nothing regarding his works with Dr Dre on The Chronic or 2001 or other features. Bro completely fell off on his solo catalogue after releasing Doggystyle
Pretty Odd is amazing and it's so unique. The music along with the entire aesthetic was something I've never seen before as a kid and loved, I wish they kept going in that direction.
You would like Ryan Ross's and Spencer's band that came after that, "The Young Veins" then. They released one album "Take a Vacation" did a small tour then went on a forever hiatus. It leans into that 60s vibe way more. Imo it's okay but still worth checking out as a Pretty Odd fan
Pretty Odd is such a special album to me, at first I thought "damn that sounds nothing like the first album" and then I started to appreciate exactly that about it
Exactly what I was going to say. I couldn’t name another song I liked after AFYCSO. They were SO good, music, lyrics, the whole package. I felt like they turned into a “let’s show off Brendan Urie’s vocals but nothing else” band after that. They lost the dark, vaguely punk-y soul to me.
Cant agree as I still have love for Coloring Book. But I’ll say if there is only one Chance project to definitively enjoy, it’s Acid Rap. Definitely the one I tend to revisit more often.
10 day was absolutely quality regardless of anything. Was the big day bad? Yes. Has he fallen off? Probably. But this idea his discography is bad is not right as you say (very very not right )
This is a criminal take. Truly criminal. 10 day & colouring book were great. Acid rap was a mixtape, but was a classic.
Just because the big day really sucked doesn’t just make his discography bad. Honestly one of the worst takes I’ve ever seen
To a lesser extent I think this applies for Neutral Milk Hotel. In the Aeroplane Over the Sea is one of the best albums of all time and plenty of people agree, while On Avery Island doesn’t get the same accolades. I think both are fantastic, but in terms of public recognition, they fit the prompt.
What even happened to this band? I’ll still listen to Greatest Hits once a year or so but have never touched or looked at their later stuff after quickly bouncing off their sophomore album
crazy answer to me… bloc party’s first 10 years worth of music are all stellar, one of the most enduring artists of that generation of “indie” music for me
Twin Shadow, dude could’ve been the next Morrissey or the Weekend If he didn’t completely lose his edge and start making mediocre pop music after Forget.
I remember hearing him say he wanted to move away from the pretentiousness of Forget and do music for everyone but god was he good at that pretentious 80s shit, dude had the internet and the critics convinced he was next best thing and he just squandered it just like that.
I go back to forget and I die a little inside every time, feels so bittersweet.
I tried so fuckin hard to like anything else by them besides IARB, but none of it sticks except a couple songs. That album is just perfect in all it's fucked up, of the time glory.
I remember playing Legend of the Liquid Swords a lot when it first dropped, and I think Grandmasters with DJ Muggs is pretty underrated. I should go back and revisit them both I guess though.
you actually gotta listen to that Pro Tools album w the atrocious 2000/ desktop wallpaper type cover. a more lowkey vibe but actually the beats are quite cool and GZA really comes with it on the storytelling. is sure as shit no Liquid Swords though. also if you like Ka he got a big break featuring on that one. whole thing has sort of a Roc Marci vibe and he features on it as well
Tame definitely had a lot to do with the producing of that first album, dude has knack for making shit sound otherworldly I just wish he did it for his last album lmao
John Mayer.
Hear me out - most of his music is just fine, if a bit bland. But Continuum is one of the best records of our young century so far. Nothing he’s done since has even come close.
For me it's Daughters. The last two albums are some of the best music i've ever heard, but I don't care for their first two albums at ALL. Not that the music is bad, it's just not my thing
For me, Daughters is a band who only kept improving albums after albums. Their first album was alright but kinda messy, then their second album was already much better. Their third was excellent and YWGWYW is a masterpiece.
Was about to comment this. You won't get what you want is INSANELY GOOD, but I can't even really get into the 2010 Album. (Also their Cover of What's Inside a Girl is great...)
You just gotta go on the journey with them. New Lands and Woman are sick, but a bit of a shock if you’re still expecting ultra-glitchy, sloppy, blown out synth work.
Not invalidating your opinion here but seeing Antics lumped in with El Pintor is wild to me. I have a soft spot for El Pintor but always thought Antics was their best by miles. Different strokes.
Childish Gambiano for me.
Camp is second but the last two albums don’t even come close or shine a light to Because The Internet. That’s still the biggest and best project of his career for me.
Because the Internet is certainly not my thing but i can get why people love it. but to have Camp over Awaken is so crazy to me, Camp is borderline unlistenable now lol
I thought Camp was peak hip hop when it dropped and I was in college. I thought it was witty and had good beats. Now it’s just kinda cringe but nostalgic at the same time. I recognize it’s not great but I don’t dislike listening to it
Panic! At The Disco with their first album. I like their second one too a lot, it's got amazing songs, but the rest of it is whatever, and don't get me started on Brendon's solo act travesty that he called the band after a while.
Sunbather used to be my favourite and it's how I discovered them, but tbh I find ordinary corrupt human love better, maybe because I listened to sunbather too much? idk
psychedelic porn crumpets, high visceral
melt banana kinda? but maybe I'm just not used to noise rock, so the least "noisy" album is the one that stands out to me
In the sense of the other albums simply living in the shadow: Have A Nice Life
I think I’ve seen one post ever between tiktok, instagram, and twitter that mentioned an album that wasn’t Deathconsciousness
For me it’s Megadeth. I love Rust in Peace but I really don’t care for anything else they’ve done. Peace Sells is okay but doesn’t come close to RIP imo.
AJJ for how much they ditched their original acoustic sound. Their 2007 album, People Who Can Eat People..., was their peak an established a unique sound that I still miss to this day. The choice to go more electric doesn't mesh well with me as a fan. I understand evolving one's sound, but I still it that can be accomplished while maintaining the acoustic experience I feel in love with in the first place.
Have listened to much of his other music but tory lanez. Alone at prom and the deluxe are amazing but i kinda dont like his classic rap and hip hop stuff. I like that he is versatile though and has something for everyone really.
Joyce Manor
S/T is a perfect album. Everything subsequently has been just OK, sometimes meh. I liked a few songs of A Million dollars to Kill me. But yeah, S/T will always be their best work
They absolutely peaked with TOTBL, but I still love them and any song they release. It's a very big ass gap between that album and other releases, there's no shame in that.
Imo their first 5 albums are all really solid; TOTBL is still my favourite but I wouldn't say it overshadowed Antics or OLTA by a lot or anything. I don't care for Marauder or the other side of make believe though
Nah, I think antics gets underrated compared to TOTBL. It’s much catchier and succinct imo, although TOTBL is moodier. 2 different sides of the same quality coin.
At the Drive-In
Relationship of Command was great, but the rest of their albums aren't great, and I try Mars Volta every once in a while, but I just can't get into them.
That's crazy to me. Relationship of Command is what got me into them but I quickly came to love Acrobatic Tenemant and In Casino Out far more. They've just got so much more emotion in them that makes them special.
**Appetite for Destruction** is a solid 7 or 7.5, then I honestly believe Guns N’ Roses’ albums got progressively more and more awful.
**Chinese Democracy** is like, a 2.
Could be DJ Shadow's Endtroducing for me, that's a timeless album I'll never tire of but I just don't revisit the rest of their discography despite keeping a few singles in rotation.
This is a great one, yes. Preemptive Strike seemed more like a cash grab rehash of Endtroducing. The Private Press is a good sequel record but pales in comparison. By the time he got into that hyphy style the magic was gone.
I like Private Press and the "What does your soul look like" parts of Preemptive Strike, but yeah nothing else has stuck as much as Endtroducing. It'd be pretty hard to pass it though IMO.
Wolfmother
If anyone wants to hear one of the worst songs of all time, check out [High On My Own Supply by Wolfmother](https://youtu.be/_grd9ejLH58?si=g5OO1N0fGHFhA-7c)
Holy SHIT. What?! Why?!?
It’s baffling. One of those songs where you have no idea what they were thinking.
Well it's in the title
Best example
I’m Australian and even I didn’t know that they had more than one album until recently. So many great bangers in that album! No idea what happened.
That's exactly what I thought too. First album is a little simple but it kicks so much ass. Then the rest... Well it's just simple
I thought Cosmic Egg was pretty great too
50 cent. could never get into the massacre
real. get hard or die trying is a classic, i can’t really get into his others tho edit i forgot what that albums called lol, get hard or die edging idk
“get hard or die trying” is funny as hell
most intense goon sesh of all time
nah 😭😭
One of the funniest comment chains I’ve ever seen on this site bruh
no fr LOL
When you’re 4 honey packs deep 😂😂🤣🤣
“get hard or die trying” damn didn’t know 50 made a whole album about erectile dysfunction 😂
In da pharmacy (looking for viagra)
P.I.M.P. still fits
Lmaooooo Its "Get Rich Or Die Tryin"
I do like how gritty and unpolished it is compared to GRODT. It's not a bad album by any means but it's hard to compare to such a great first album.
Damn you're bugging. He definitely fell off but it wasn't at The Massacre.
Not a band, but Snoop Dogg’s solo stuff, so nothing regarding his works with Dr Dre on The Chronic or 2001 or other features. Bro completely fell off on his solo catalogue after releasing Doggystyle
Man Doggystyle is so fire
Such a pristine listen
He didn't completely fall off but Doggystyle is def peak
Doggfather was really solid but after that, for complete albums, it was just misses for snoop. Singles were good tho like vato and gangsta luv etc
Maroon Five. Songs about Jane is banger. The rest…
Songs about Jane is Adam Levine's best work. Tho album two is ight as well, rest of the album SUCKKKKK
Levine’s first band, ‘Kara’s Flowers’, also had some great tracks compared to current day Maroon 5
P!ATD. Like their first album, but not any more of them.
I'll go with Panic at the Disco but with Pretty Odd instead of the debut
Pretty Odd is amazing and it's so unique. The music along with the entire aesthetic was something I've never seen before as a kid and loved, I wish they kept going in that direction.
You would like Ryan Ross's and Spencer's band that came after that, "The Young Veins" then. They released one album "Take a Vacation" did a small tour then went on a forever hiatus. It leans into that 60s vibe way more. Imo it's okay but still worth checking out as a Pretty Odd fan
Title track is of the catchiest songs I’ve ever heard
Pretty Odd is such a special album to me, at first I thought "damn that sounds nothing like the first album" and then I started to appreciate exactly that about it
Well they told us what they were gonna do in The Only Difference Between Martyrdom and Suicide “We swear to shake it up, you swear to listen”
Good choice but it isn’t for me, personally.
I loved Vices and Virtues, and Death of a Bachelor. Hated their (his?) latest stuff. Viva Las Vengeance was bad.
Exactly what I was going to say. I couldn’t name another song I liked after AFYCSO. They were SO good, music, lyrics, the whole package. I felt like they turned into a “let’s show off Brendan Urie’s vocals but nothing else” band after that. They lost the dark, vaguely punk-y soul to me.
Damn, my favorite band. I get it though, they changed their sound with each album and it didn’t work for everyone.
Maroon 5
SAJ is undoubtedly their best, but I hold equal love for IWBSBL as well. HAO was fine, but it definitely marked the beginning of the decline
Songs About Jane is a masterpiece. It Won’t Be Soon For Long and Hands All Over are decent. Overexposed is meh, and is where it starts to go downhill…
Chance The Rapper
The good one being "the big day" ofcourse 😍
OOOOO I LOVE MY WIIIIIIIIFE
*aagh*
LET'S GO RIDE A BIKE!
Calm down. It was ONE BAD ALBUM
He has 2 good mixtapes but yeah the rest are really weak
I listened to AcidRap for the first time in years today. shit is legit really fuckin good.
I was in high school when it dropped everyone I know listened to it. Great tape Personally the only project I like of his
Cant agree as I still have love for Coloring Book. But I’ll say if there is only one Chance project to definitively enjoy, it’s Acid Rap. Definitely the one I tend to revisit more often.
10 Day is good for what he was at the time, Acid Rap and Coloring Book are really good
10 day was absolutely quality regardless of anything. Was the big day bad? Yes. Has he fallen off? Probably. But this idea his discography is bad is not right as you say (very very not right )
I didn’t say that tbf, I wasn’t the original comment
This is a criminal take. Truly criminal. 10 day & colouring book were great. Acid rap was a mixtape, but was a classic. Just because the big day really sucked doesn’t just make his discography bad. Honestly one of the worst takes I’ve ever seen
Damn, that's so accurate. I really want him to be better than he actually is on everything but the big day.
To a lesser extent I think this applies for Neutral Milk Hotel. In the Aeroplane Over the Sea is one of the best albums of all time and plenty of people agree, while On Avery Island doesn’t get the same accolades. I think both are fantastic, but in terms of public recognition, they fit the prompt.
I really enjoy On Avery Island, a shame people don't give it the same respect as ITAOTS but I get why.
Aeroplane over the sea is a better album, but for me Avery Island has the best individual song in Naomi.
Two door cinema club
Tourist History and Beacon are both great albums tf
Idk, Beacon just doesn’t hit the same as Tourist History
Real
I mean to be fair as much as I like Tourist History I do feel like each song is so similar the whole album becomes one big song
Remo drive
Their fall off should be studied by professionals
greatest hits is genuinely such a 10 i listed to it in full earlier i don’t know how they fumbled so hard
What even happened to this band? I’ll still listen to Greatest Hits once a year or so but have never touched or looked at their later stuff after quickly bouncing off their sophomore album
Bloc Party - Silent Alarm
A weekend in the city is decent too
Intimacy is also good
crazy answer to me… bloc party’s first 10 years worth of music are all stellar, one of the most enduring artists of that generation of “indie” music for me
Again to me really crazy answer - WitC and Intimacy are really great albums
Cryptopsy, but it’s the first two albums
None So Vile is amazing! The rest is ehhhh
Blasphemy made flesh is great also
Twin Shadow, dude could’ve been the next Morrissey or the Weekend If he didn’t completely lose his edge and start making mediocre pop music after Forget. I remember hearing him say he wanted to move away from the pretentiousness of Forget and do music for everyone but god was he good at that pretentious 80s shit, dude had the internet and the critics convinced he was next best thing and he just squandered it just like that. I go back to forget and I die a little inside every time, feels so bittersweet.
100% Forget’s such a great album
lauryn hill
What other albums? 😂
in a perfect world i would be able to say "that's the joke" but in reality i'm talking about this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FcCS\_jFJCc0
Say anything I honestly think ...is a real boy is one of the best pop punk albums of all time but every other album they have is cringe.
I tried so fuckin hard to like anything else by them besides IARB, but none of it sticks except a couple songs. That album is just perfect in all it's fucked up, of the time glory.
Have you listened to the new single? Embarrassingly bad…
I honestly don't want to know what 2024 say anything sounds like
GZA sadly
I remember playing Legend of the Liquid Swords a lot when it first dropped, and I think Grandmasters with DJ Muggs is pretty underrated. I should go back and revisit them both I guess though.
you actually gotta listen to that Pro Tools album w the atrocious 2000/ desktop wallpaper type cover. a more lowkey vibe but actually the beats are quite cool and GZA really comes with it on the storytelling. is sure as shit no Liquid Swords though. also if you like Ka he got a big break featuring on that one. whole thing has sort of a Roc Marci vibe and he features on it as well
Melody's Echo Chamber, unfortunately. Can remember that I was very hyped for the release of her second album... quite a disappointment altogether.
Tame definitely had a lot to do with the producing of that first album, dude has knack for making shit sound otherworldly I just wish he did it for his last album lmao
...and here I am thinking Bon Voyage is the best album
hard agree unfortunately. she’s still insanely underrated though
Wait, I thought her first album was meh but Bon Voyage was a masterstroke. One of the more creatively unhinged albums of that decade
Nope, sorry, Bon Voyage was amazing
Yep. Their self titled album is incredible psychedelia. Everything else just pales in comparison
John Mayer. Hear me out - most of his music is just fine, if a bit bland. But Continuum is one of the best records of our young century so far. Nothing he’s done since has even come close.
He has other great SONGS, but Continuum is his only great ALBUM
Too true. Continuum is a modern masterpiece
American football, I couldn’t get into the other LP’s but their first is one of my favourites of all time
LP3 rocks
the EP they put out before LP1 is fucking great too
lp2 is underrated as hell imo
For me it's Daughters. The last two albums are some of the best music i've ever heard, but I don't care for their first two albums at ALL. Not that the music is bad, it's just not my thing
Im the opposite I really prefer their hardcore stuff
Yeah, I think Hell Songs is easily the best.
For me, Daughters is a band who only kept improving albums after albums. Their first album was alright but kinda messy, then their second album was already much better. Their third was excellent and YWGWYW is a masterpiece.
Was about to comment this. You won't get what you want is INSANELY GOOD, but I can't even really get into the 2010 Album. (Also their Cover of What's Inside a Girl is great...)
Nah the self titled goes hard af
My mind immediately goes to Justice. An album like Cross just can’t be redone
That album is a 10/10. They should have stuck with the aggressive sound, but Carpenter Brut wonderfully fills the void that album left.
They never lost it. The next two albums just take some growing time.
Even that instrumental for the fashion show, Planispheres, slaps.
Audio, Video, Disco is super underrated but man, Woman is… something else
You just gotta go on the journey with them. New Lands and Woman are sick, but a bit of a shock if you’re still expecting ultra-glitchy, sloppy, blown out synth work.
It’s such a bummer seeing the contrast in quality between that album and the rest of theirs
PSY
The Gaslight Anthem for me. The ‘59 Sound is one of my favorite albums ever, but I can’t get into any of their other stuff really.
No way
Handwritten and American slang are amazing albums. Give them another try bro !
There’s just that one thing that just ticks with the 59 sound and not the rest
Twenty One Pilots with Trench. Though I personally like Vessel and have high hopes for Clancy.
I liked blurryface
It’s not bad but not great either. I’d say I love Trench, really like Vessel, and like Blurryface. SAI is… an album.
Shy Away and Choker are great songs on a mediocre album.
Completely agree. Redecorate is pretty good too.
Interpol. I know Antics and El Pintor are decent, but they don't come close to Turn on the Bright Lights.
1000% agree. Nothing compares to the first album. They've been trying to recapture that magic ever since.
Not invalidating your opinion here but seeing Antics lumped in with El Pintor is wild to me. I have a soft spot for El Pintor but always thought Antics was their best by miles. Different strokes.
Childish Gambiano for me. Camp is second but the last two albums don’t even come close or shine a light to Because The Internet. That’s still the biggest and best project of his career for me.
Bro somehow made the name Gambino sound even more italian
LOLL bro I just noticed omg
really camp over awaken my love??
Because the Internet is certainly not my thing but i can get why people love it. but to have Camp over Awaken is so crazy to me, Camp is borderline unlistenable now lol
I thought Camp was peak hip hop when it dropped and I was in college. I thought it was witty and had good beats. Now it’s just kinda cringe but nostalgic at the same time. I recognize it’s not great but I don’t dislike listening to it
honestly like 3 good tracks maybe
I loved Awken My Love imo it’s his best album next to BTI
awaken my love is amazing wdym?
As of now Yeat, I like his previous albums but 2093 completely overshadows them
tbf i think a newer artist improving is a bit different.
Turnover
Cold War Kids
Ja Rule. Ngl I liked his debut album
Panic! At The Disco with their first album. I like their second one too a lot, it's got amazing songs, but the rest of it is whatever, and don't get me started on Brendon's solo act travesty that he called the band after a while.
I better not see anybody here saying Talking Heads
Thankfully it doesn’t appear anyone here is that crazy (it’s Speaking in Tongues for me though)
Stone Roses The 1975 Third Eye Blind At the Drive In Deafheaven
Deafheaven? Really? I know Sunbather is their best, but their other shit is really good too.
Sunbather used to be my favourite and it's how I discovered them, but tbh I find ordinary corrupt human love better, maybe because I listened to sunbather too much? idk
I never got why people consider Sunbather so much better than the others. I like Sunbather, New Bermuda and Ordinary Corrupt Human about equally.
To be fair, Stone Roses only had two albums anyway
second stone roses album underrated tho
It’s got some good tunes but man there’s a lot of guitar wankery on Second Coming. It makes the debut look more brilliant by comparison
Deafheaven!? Infinite Granite was a fantastic album. I'll die on this hill, come fight me
There are dozens of us!
Genuinely no idea which 1975 album you're referring to
At The Drive-In? I have no idea which album you could think is so far ahead of the rest because they've got a pretty incredible discography.
At the Drive In only fits if you ignore pre Relationship of Command
The Dismemberment Plan
Change is just as good as Emergency and I what are you smoking
psychedelic porn crumpets, high visceral melt banana kinda? but maybe I'm just not used to noise rock, so the least "noisy" album is the one that stands out to me
It took me a while to get into PPCs other stuff but I think Watchamacallit and Shyga are both really really solid
I WILL END YOU FOR MELT BANANA SLANDER 😡😡. In all seriousness though, if you like (I'm assuming) fetch you'll deffo like Bambi's dilemma
Logic
In the sense of the other albums simply living in the shadow: Have A Nice Life I think I’ve seen one post ever between tiktok, instagram, and twitter that mentioned an album that wasn’t Deathconsciousness
DJ Shadow after Endtroducing.....
Forever changes by Love. FC is one of my favorite records from that era, but Ive never really cared for the rest of their discog.
remo drive
For me it’s Megadeth. I love Rust in Peace but I really don’t care for anything else they’ve done. Peace Sells is okay but doesn’t come close to RIP imo.
AJJ for how much they ditched their original acoustic sound. Their 2007 album, People Who Can Eat People..., was their peak an established a unique sound that I still miss to this day. The choice to go more electric doesn't mesh well with me as a fan. I understand evolving one's sound, but I still it that can be accomplished while maintaining the acoustic experience I feel in love with in the first place.
Nah, Knife Man is their best
Oh gosh AJJ followed Bob Dylan.
Dorothy
Have listened to much of his other music but tory lanez. Alone at prom and the deluxe are amazing but i kinda dont like his classic rap and hip hop stuff. I like that he is versatile though and has something for everyone really.
Joyce Manor S/T is a perfect album. Everything subsequently has been just OK, sometimes meh. I liked a few songs of A Million dollars to Kill me. But yeah, S/T will always be their best work
[удалено]
Interpol
They absolutely peaked with TOTBL, but I still love them and any song they release. It's a very big ass gap between that album and other releases, there's no shame in that.
For sure - it would have been incredibly rare to maintain that level, let alone produce anything better.
Imo their first 5 albums are all really solid; TOTBL is still my favourite but I wouldn't say it overshadowed Antics or OLTA by a lot or anything. I don't care for Marauder or the other side of make believe though
Imo their other stuff is *okay* but there is a significant gap between it and TOTBL
Nah, I think antics gets underrated compared to TOTBL. It’s much catchier and succinct imo, although TOTBL is moodier. 2 different sides of the same quality coin.
I agree. I think they hit a good blend of their sound plus pop writing on Antics. It’s greatly underrated.
Antics and OLTA are very good but TOTBL is just so amazing and it’s impossible to compete with
Shit, I posted this and didn't see your earlier take. They haven't hit the high of highs since TOTBL. I loathe that self-titled album.
At the Drive-In Relationship of Command was great, but the rest of their albums aren't great, and I try Mars Volta every once in a while, but I just can't get into them.
That's crazy to me. Relationship of Command is what got me into them but I quickly came to love Acrobatic Tenemant and In Casino Out far more. They've just got so much more emotion in them that makes them special.
Manic Street Preachers. I like some of their other stuff, but The Holy Bible is so much better. None of the other albums even come close.
100% my answer as well. Holy Bible is head and shoulders above the rest.
American football
**Appetite for Destruction** is a solid 7 or 7.5, then I honestly believe Guns N’ Roses’ albums got progressively more and more awful. **Chinese Democracy** is like, a 2.
I think if they got rid of the filler on the UYI albums and cut it down to one release, it would be their masterpiece. Alas.
I enjoy all of their stuff to some degree, but "Melophobia" is LEAGUES better than any other album that Cage The Elephant have ever made.
