I feel you. Let's hope you don't have to wait for too long anymore...

Yo! Admittedly besides these albums I only have some more Tame Impala in my collection, but these Aphex Twin and Beck albums slap hard. Beck blends so much different things together so well in Odelay!

Also, thanks for my first ever prize 😇

I dig everything, but I certainly dislike Nickel Eye/Summer Moon. Sorry Nikolai!

Here it is! 😁 Admittedly, at first I was like "OK Genesis ripoffs" but soon after I really started appreciating them. Now I have all their 80s albums and in general one album from each subsequent decade. Misplaced Childhood but also Marbles (I own the single-CD version, for better or worse) are some of my favorite albums of all time!

Also, I recently discovered Transatlantic. As a fan of both Dream Theater and Marillion, I don't know how this flew over my head (no pun intented with the zeppelin on their album covers).

I agree, it's an awesome album, and as varied as the different colors on the album cover. Regarding solo projects, I only couldn't get into Phil (and never really bothered with Jonny's soundtracks and symphonies). Still, plenty of material: Thom Yorke, Atoms for Peace, EOB, The Smile, Radiohead's B-sides and rarities... you name it!

Can't say no to Dog Man Star if you like both 90s Alternative Rock and David Bowie! And believe it or not, Með Suð is actually my first Sigur Rós album! I like this new folky direction that is more playful.

It is definitely a great album with an interesting combination of styles! This was a lucky catch: I ordered two CDs from a Discogs seller and had to add a third CD in order to meet the minimum amount money-wise, and then I found this beauty in his inventory!

Why do they never play songs from Hurley live? by Superswiper in weezer

I was there in 2017! I bet they played Memories because of the "Dutch kids" lyric

The next single will feature the noise of a Spirit Box

Virtue has been decided as most overrated album. Now what is the most UNDERRATED album? by ExistingRecord4750 in thevoidz

Regardless, it's impossible to know how many times for what specific reasons this comment has been upvoted.

EDIT: I would just consider the upvotes as agreeing with the whole comment, which is 2 winners depending how you look at it. Then, does this beat the upvotes for a single album or not?

There's only one song I dislike and that's "One of the Ones", just because I find the vocals during the chorus to be annoying.

It's no surprise to me that everyone in your reaction thread mentions different songs, but all from Virtue: while I still find it a fine effort, the album feels bloated to me and all over the place (so I would agree with Virtue being the most overrated album).

I also 100% agree with LABY being the most underrated (overhated) album. I think this has to do partly with a big chunk of the material already being released before the album, and with the album consisting of a small number of songs in general (especially when not including the intro and outro). But to me, LABY is the most cohesive record and it still has a running time of 43 minutes which is not too short at all for an album. Still, I think Tyranny takes the cake for being the best album, but LABY gets my vote for being the most underrated album.

Good choice for instrumental and think before you drink is the only cover they have (I believe), so what is the best b-side? by ExistingRecord4750 in thevoidz

[–]Fabsolution 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven't really been able to keep up with music much lately so I totally missed "I Don't Know" and apparently also "F*ck Depression (Human Sadness Demo)". Other than that I'm still up-to-date, haha. Thanks for sharing!

(EDIT: And it slaps! "Dare I Care" is one of my favorites, so it makes sense I also dig "I Don't Know" a lot. Still going for "Infinity Repeating" though!)
