peaccoks are you saying that wayne/dream/clipse records AREN'T better than the ones that blew them up in indie circles or are you saying that indie ppl were always up on these artists to begin with

let me just say shame on a Pitchfork for including 3 of Brian Eno's awful pop albums in their top albums of the '70s list (and the David Byrne collaboration in their '80s list) when Music for Airports and On Land and Thursday Afternoon are on a whole 'nother level. and no fucking way does Another Green World deserve their 9.8 rating.
let me also say I HATE DRAMA & I don't care who started it, god.

10 is really amazing, the first mvt. is perfect in every way, along with 1st mvt. Bartok Music For Strings+ it's my favourite 'unspooling' in the canon. 2nd mvt. is fun when Dudamel does it; 3rd mvt. is good jokes I guess, the DSCH thing is cheesy; 4th mvt. well idk I read that at the premiere all the starving Leningradians ran out into the street crying with joy at its conclusion but to me it just sounds like a snooze alarm that won't quit
― flamboyant goon tie included, Saturday, 1 December 2018 15:31 (five years ago) link
"For The Roses" isn't "light years" ahead of "Blue" but I do think it deserves much more love than the three more-celebrated albums that followed it

FTR seems entirely in Blue's shadow and appears to be a bit of a blank spot, some songs are every bit as beautiful, fraught and confessional as Blue.
― MaresNest, Saturday, 1 December 2018 16:02 (five years ago) link
The 11th Symphony is decent film music disguised as Soviet agitprop. Not a bad work by any means, but it lacks the tragic heft of his less populist pieces. I like my Shosty either morbidly despairing or caustically mocking the powers-that-be, head-on, so I tend to gravitate towards his later material. Anyway, in keeping with the thread's premise, I do agree that the 4th is a better work than the 5th (I may even prefer the 1st, overall) but it doesn't top the 10th.
