In regards to the fuss over the perfect 10 this got, didn't Discovery by Daft Punk receive like 6.7 back in the day? Metascore of 70 or so? These numbers don't really count for much a huge chunk of the time. I feel like some people need this to be an event album...it sorta completes a narritive and bitches crave resolution.

this album is very sonically interesting at times but also EXTREMELY horrible at others. overall it was a difficult record that i will never listen to again.

6.7 is about right for Discovery, I'd say.

also, I would rather an album make me feel exhausted as in 'partied out' than 'ffs, when will this track end?!'. Discovery's mediocre rating doesn't reflect it's cultural significance. I mean if you ask most people, I doubt many of them would rate it two stars.

it really is galling that Taylor never ONCE came to his defense

― spidermark, Sunday, 28 November 2010 19:57 (thirteen years ago) link
she may not have come to his defence, but it's not like she actively capitalised on it either. she mentioned it once, and then refused to talk to the press about it iirc & also wrote a song about it obviously, but I think it was a situation she wanted to deal with in private.

i mean interviews about her ordeal w/ country radio, an snl monologue, a song on her album - yeah she totally didn't milk 'this one time a black man interrupted me when i was speaking' like she was elie wiesel.

also this album is hella boring, luv "power" as a single tho
it's crazy how simultaneously belabored and lazy this album can sound. how is it doing on radio? i have a hard time picturing anything here being unavoidable like 'stronger' or 'gold digger'. then again eminem's been having huge hits with miserable sounding shit all year so who knows.
― balls, Sunday, 28 November 2010 20:33 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah but Eminem is an emo white dude, nowadays that's what ppl expect/want

― lotta diamonds ... but prolly more display names (deej), Sunday, 28 November 2010 20:47 (thirteen years ago) link
I'm actually kind of consistently surprised at how low "Monster" is on the R&B airplay chart (currently #36 after peaking at #30) because it's felt like it's been at "hear it every time I get in the car, often as soon as I start the car" levels of heavy rotation for a while now.

attempt at getting back into standard mode album after moody breakup detour album only you can't go home again esp if you lack the willingness or ability to do so? could be; would explain why even though i keep thinking use yr illusion that album was at it's most amusing ('get in the ring') or compelling ('estranged') at its most dark twisted moments, mdtf never approaches those highs or lows.

rehash of his old style with some jams?
this doesn't have a beck comparison. this is how i see blonde on blonde imo. i.e. no fucking quality control, stupid direction to go to, too long and yet at the height of his fame and bummed straight into the canon.
