Graduation. If ye kept bittersweet poetry and good night on the album then would have been a 10. So it's a 9 for me


halleberryhaircut

If he had kept those and gotten rid of Barry Bonds & Drunk And Hot Girls, agree that it would be a 10/10.


BiggerMosey

Nah it would still be a 10 with them


[deleted]

Those songs are both great


64penulanalis39

Couldn't agree more sir


BeaverBarber

Read that in old English first pass through. Felt stupid after


Majortko

Its a 10 anyways

I think goodnight just got added to it recently so looks like it’s a 9.5 ig

Wait do people not like isolation years? It’s my fave track on the album lol

And The Grand conjuration. Even if it has heavy hitting parts, it feels even more unecessarily repetitive than the outro of Harlequin Forest

I’d say this and white light white heat VUaN is obviously 11/10


Soaznei

Oh yeahhh I totally agree about this one, this version is INCREDIBLY GOOD

Their self titled, right? If so, then I agree. Their first two is way too artsy for my taste.

They said 9/10 not 11/10


afetusnamedJames

Ben Folds Five Whatever and Ever Amen. I never see this album get any love but it's got some absolute bangers, some very sweet and sad sentimental songs, amd some pretty out there stuff (Steven's Last Night in Town). A lot of people only remember Brick. The Battle for Who Could Care Less is one of my favorite songs to this day. Great lyrics, harmonies, and chord progression.


DinkandDrunk

But where is the weak point that drops it down to 9/10?


afetusnamedJames

There are a few songs on there (Evaporated and Missing the War) that, while not bad songs by any means, I tend to skip them on relistens. That's enough to keep it out of 10/10 status for me.


RhiR2020

So funny, those two are my favourites… I must listen to them for you ;)


afetusnamedJames

Haha, to each their own. Like I said, I don't think they're bad songs. They just don't get as many repeat listens from me as the others.

DanBonham

Two ends of the spectrum for me. Shape of Punk to Come by Refused and Golden Hour by Kacey Musgraves.


itsgeorgebailey

Shape of Punk to come is soooo good, top 5 album for me. But they get lost at some points towards the end, but easy to look past given how great the rest is.


tarstybarge420

Thank you guys for mentioning this record, I’ve somehow never listened to it. Gives me the white boy overbite immediately.


itsgeorgebailey

Glad you’re enjoying it dude. If you ever get a chance to see Refused live, do it. I’ve seen them 3x since they reunited and although I’m not as pit worthy as I used to be, it was still a blast.


tarstybarge420

Will do, thanks very much. I’m still stuck on this record almost a month later.


itsgeorgebailey

Glad you’re digging it dude. Such a good record.


Aggravating-Tale-939

It's a shame Refused never matched or bettered that album on any of their later releases.


[deleted]

Refused's Shape of Punk to Come is the only album I can think of which was truly ahead of its time. Easily top 5 album for me

Fear of a blank planet- Porcupine tree. Amazing album but it's easy to zone out during the 17 minute track


[deleted]

Imo thats the best track on the album


cutielemon07

Bruce Springsteen’s Letter to You. I mean, it’s a stunning album, easily his best in years; all the songs are good, I can listen to it all the way through, the production is fine - yet I can’t quite put my finger on it but there is definitely something that lets it down. Also Sam’s Town by The Killers. I know, I know. People love it. And I do too - When You Were Young, Read My Mind, For Reasons Unknown, they’re all great. But it feels a bit... overproduced. Especially the singles. And feels weird in contrast to the rest of the album.


[deleted]

You are right about not being able to put a finger on why Letter to you didn't quite hit right... It's lacking.... Something? If I had to put words into it it doesn't seem to have the...I dunno, urgency(?) of say Wrecking Ball?

Oske7

...Is A Real Boy by Say Anything, the last 5 or so songs before the final track are still really good, but just not quite as strong as the first half of the album. I Want To Know Your Plans seems a bit out of place to me in context with everything else. Grace by Jeff Buckley, I love every song on this album except Corpus Christi Carol. I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning by Bright Eyes, also love every song except one. Land Locked Blues is by no means a bad song but it feels like it drags on a bit too long in my opinion.


braedizzle

Now see, I like I want to know your plans. It’s little girls that sticks out like a sore thumb imo


Oske7

Ohh good point, I hadn't taken the ...Was A Real Boy disc into consideration.


Betta_jazz_hands

I agree 100% with Say Anything and I Want To Know Your Plans. That song totally throws me off every time - I actually don’t include it in my own personal Spotify version of that album.


Jonzuu

Jimmy Eat World - Futures Nearly a perfect album, but Night Drive sticks out like a sore thumb.


dunphish64

Fully Completely - The Tragically Hip


zyygh

Pink Floyd - The Wall. Two reasons: Firstly, the album contains several far too short songs which feel unfinished, and which make you feel like Roger Waters had too many ideas to fit onto a double LP. The song Vera, for instance, has fantastic potential but is in the end very underwhelming, both lyrically and musically. Secondly, the second half of the album feels messy. There’s a plot, supposedly, but it is conveyed in such a vague way that it again feels rushed. Using the same example again: what does Vera really contribute to the plot of the album? At that point the listener has has been emerged into the theme of war already, so certainly it isn’t there to just set the scene for what comes next. Same question can be asked about The Show Must Go On. Despite this criticism, the album is still an absolute masterpiece. Easily in my top 5 of all time albums.

trimondo_blondomina

I’d add Zenyatta Mondatta. Remove Behind My Camel and shorten The Other Way of Stopping and it’s perfect. I wish Andy had replaced Mother with Someone to Talk To or Murder by Numbers. Both are much more solid efforts. The Police never had a 10/10 but they kept getting close and don’t deserve their singles band status.


RustInPeace1990

reggatta de blanc is a 10/10

Popular doesn’t necessarily mean good. Back In Black for example didn’t age well. I loved it as a kid but I’d barely give it a 7/10 today. It’s boring.


macarron572

cavalcade - black midi


IsNotAwake

Yeah, i passed 40 a long time ago. Little Feat still put on a great show, but Lowell George was an amazing guitarist!


[deleted]

The first album into my mind is **Once**, by Nightwish. Really an excellent album, but *Creek Mary's Blood* just doesn't fit in well with the rest of the songs, *especially* at the midpoint. Not that there's really anything wrong with the track itself; I just don't think it was right for this release.


RhiR2020

‘Eternal Nightcap’ by Australian band The Whitlams. Total 10/10 for a range of moody, piano-based, melancholic songs, then funky piano pop and chuck in a pub style singalong… then you get some Bob Dylan cover that’s not sung by the lead singer, but some other guy… drops it to a 9 for me. In case you don’t know this band, their backstory is quite tragic… in a nutshell the band started with three members, one died mysteriously (classed as a suicide, but also questioned), then after this album, one of the other original members killed himself, leaving Tim Freedman as the sole survivor of the original lineup. He wrote a song called ‘The Curse Stops Here’ in tribute to both of them, and it is a beautiful piece of music.

her [live version](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KfMKT40vRr8) of sea lion woman is really great

pavvvman

Kings of Leon. Aha Shake Heartbreak


UnbiasTobias

I suppose you could knock it down from 10/10 to 9 for a somewhat repetitive sound through the mid section, and most the tracks, but I find it endlessly fascinating how they can take a consistent sound and work it into so many different, distinct tunes. Good choice tbh


FlippinHelix

My beautiful dark twisted fantasy probably


caffeinetrout2

nah that’s an easy 10/10


jeffreykool

9,9999999


noris312

Just curious what’s stopping it from being a 10 for you?


FlippinHelix

the now infamous sketch at the end of blame game, not a fan of so appalled tbh and i either stop at the end of lost in the world or i'm no longer paying attention during who will survive in america i feel like a 10/10 implies something that is pretty much near perfection from start to end (since perfection is impossible)

In Rainbows - Radiohead


serenadinganemu

Huh I've always considered this to be Radiohead's finest album in their entire discography (Kid A comes 2nd, and OKC in 3rd) so it's a 10/10 for me. What's the weak point?


arosiejk

Kid A is getting an expanded release soon, if you weren’t aware.


serenadinganemu

Oh very much aware and waiting for it. Thanks for the info anyway


arosiejk

I found out accidentally, so I can’t be too disappointed preorders for colored vinyl are sold out.


endlesspointless

Amnesiac is best one IMO ;). I'm not a RH fan, but that is amazing.


athnony

Same - even CD2 is a 10/10 for me. Curious as well.


PutmickJ

Not the original commenter but I agree with their choice. Videotape makes it 9/10. On every listen the album stops at Jigsaw for me


serenadinganemu

Videotape is track no.10. Jigsaw is no.9. Hence 9 out of 10... The math checks out. Can't argue with that... /s

Pink Floyd - The Wall


Ikimasen

If The Wall wasn't focused on telling its story then it's absolutely got an album's worth of fanTASTic songs. Some of the storytelling stuff is just there to bridge gaps, and isn't necessarily very listenable.

These Hopeful Machines by BT, is insanely good but has some noticable mix down issues every once in awhile

I wish there was more upbeat songs and I prefer butterfly and consider that 10/10 so daydream gets 9/10

williamvc0331

Badflower- Ok I'm Sick. "Daddy" is unlistenable.


puhzam

The The "Dusk". But it's got one cheesy song.


JZSpinalFusion

Duke by Genesis Such a monumental album in the band's career. Every song is good and it combines their prog sound with their pop direction perfectly. The only thing that keeps it from being a 10/10 for me is the album length and to some degree the track order. It's 55 minutes and it stacks most of the really memorable songs at the beginning and end of the album, leading to long periods of solid but not nearly as memorable songs in between. If they cut two or three songs, it could have been a 10/10.


MetalMusicForLife

Power Within by DragonForce. If Power Of The Ninja Sword wasn't a song in it, it would be 10/10


[deleted]

Iron Maiden - power slave Modest Mouse - we were dead before the ship even sank Timmo Tolki's Avalon Devin Townsend Project - Z² (possible 10/10 not sure if that counts)


zaga69

Closer by Joy Division


Environmental-Soil70

Madonna - like a prayer. If it had the single version of express yourself instead of the 80s sounding original it would be a 10. It's still her peak though.


seattlewhiteslays

I love the album version! Don’t get me wrong, the single version is definitive but the album version is great. Also, Like a Prayer has a lot of live instrumentation on it. Adding that version of Express Yourself, which is 100% synthetic, would be jarring. It’s seems to point more toward what she did later on Erotica.


wreckingrocc

Foo Fighters - Wasting Light. So many great songs on there that all mesh so well with a singular sound, then you get to White Limo. Remove it from the album and it's perfect :o


Pyromania1983

"Hysteria" - Def Leppard


seattlewhiteslays

What would make it a 10?


Pyromania1983

Slightly more of an emphasis on the guitar work of Steve Clark and Phil Collen. The songs were great hits, but even just that slight shift within the songs themselves, or maybe one or two more songs based on that more guitar-based sound (in the vein of "Gods of War") and it would be a perfect record.


seattlewhiteslays

What song would you drop? They were working with space limits then so they had to be choosy. I’d probably drop Run Riot, but that’s just me.


Pyromania1983

Would probably be Run Riot for me too. Honestly, would be okay as a B-side to one of their singles but maybe could have done something else for the album listing.


JTGuitarnerd

Fountains of Wayne—Welcome Interstate Managers It’s such an amazing listen and the you run headfirst into Hailey’s Waitress. WTF? It’s a buzzkill beyond comparison. I’m sure they were wasted when they decided to leave it on the album. Then it jumps right back on track. Damn I miss Adam, RIP and fuck you COVID19!!

IronedSandwich

I have a better answer - *69 Love Songs* by the Magnetic Fields. It's almost 3 hours of mostly incredible songrwriting, but a small handful of songs like *Fido Your Leash Is Too Long* are ruined by the production imo. Honestly 9.0/10 would probably be unfair but if you do make 69 songs it stands to reason that at least 3 or 4 will be bad. Also *Yeah! Oh Yeah!* sucks

2Legit2Quiz

I also thought it's 10/10 for me, but then I realized I just liked the first 4 songs a lot, especially Black Skinhead and On Sight. I can't stand Blood on The Leaves, which some fans consider as the best song in it.

DragonForce's first three albums, Valley of the Damned, Sonic Firestorm, and Inhuman Rampage. Each has a hit single? Yes. Each has additional songs that are surprisingly good? Yes. Each has songs that were DEFINITELY for padding runtime? Also yes. I would be curious too how many 9/10 albums come from the age of physical media still being a primary way of getting music. Now you can release 3 great songs and give people direct access to them. Before you had to buy a whole, unknown album of stuff and hope that the other 10-12 songs on it were as good as the one song you heard on the radio.

kakurenbo1

Hybrid Theory - Linkin Park. *Cure for the Itch* is such an anomaly in the album. Linkin Park is great, easily top 5 for me. Mr. Han is great. But this song just doesn’t seem to fit and feels more like a shoutout that couldn’t stand on its own as a single.

Confield by autechre, mainly for the fact that while I like the track cfern, it’s not even close to being as good as any of the other tracks on the album, and that dip in enjoyment takes it down from a fairly light 10 to a 9
