bro aeroplane vs madvillainy is not a first round match up that is crazy

[@winter1657]

⁠​⁠​⁠@@nl3064 here I am replying to this 6 months late but I understand your point. My opinion is that it is a perfect culmination of that early 2000s style, with one of the best original scores of all time, cast and acted wonderfully, with arguably the best written screenplay ever, maybe second to Broadcast News. It’s also visually stunning and was all shot practically, the sets were intricate and genius and the entire movie gives me an indescribable feeling that never fades no matter how often I rewatch it. I also watched it at the perfect time in my life and the overall message from the movie was one I was really needing to hear. Basically a perfect culmination of circumstance and taste has made it my pick for the best movie ever made.

[@winter1657]

Also Jon Brion who scored Eternal Sunshine also produced Swimming by Mac Miller along with many other incredible albums from a variety of artists

[@gyuvinistics]

my favorite album would have to be SAWAYAMA by rina sawayama ... every single song is a hit for me personally

i'm new here and i'm just now watching this video but revolver by the beatles is my favorite album of all time. i feel like it's a perfect album to show people who say they don't like the beatles to break their preconceived notions of who the beatles were as a band.

[@sewerentropy5217]

i 100% agree with this and think being introduced to Revolver first really helps you appreciate the rest of the latter half of their discography as well

Oh yeah, the music critic community is gonna shit their pants over this one. It’s honestly refreshing to see people be honest about the music they like and not pander to certain projects just because they’re classics

[@losisd3ad]

most people just like music they like

[@isaiahromero9861]

They still love most of those critically acclaimed albums though, and also most critically acclaimed albums are acclaimed because they're unique pieces of art that are important to music in some way, no one is saying you have to like them. There are def some music critics like that but most people in that community just like analyzing and discussing music which is a good thing imo

[@jigsaucemusic]

@@isaiahromero9861 I agree. All I’m saying is, a lot of people bend their opinions and maybe put albums that are “culturally more important” at the top of their list to avoid criticism. Peer pressure in this space is real and there’s no denying that

​@@jigsaucemusicyou speak facts

[@arkayv]

@@jigsaucemusic I am just speaking my two cents here but, even they aren't consistent with their reasoning between match-ups. If Riley was true to this ideology since the start, LP! would've beaten Illmatic for example. In the end, it is just about what they wanted to go through and the justification comes afterwards.

[@YesNo-yl6ws]

Interesting

[@YeaItsCrab]

i honestly think Drukqs - Aphex Twin truly deserves a top seed spot in this conversation. What it did for not only electronic music, but he made some of the most impactful piano pieces of the last decade as an interlude, and then mixed with the concept of how drug use (druk qs) affects the brain through sonic pallets is nothing short of genius. It gets overshadowed sometimes by select ambient works but man it really is just incredible

[@charliejames57]

[@Nerdz2]

His best album, it really deserves a critical reappraisal

[@firstnamelastname7244]

Easily one of his best. Ziggomatic 17 is his most underrated track.

[@chaaander]

Graydon’s worst take for me has to be Plastic Beach. That album is basically perfect. Nearly every song would be the lead single on another artist’s record. It honestly sounded more like he’d never heard it. Bobby Womack, Little Dragon, and Mos Def’s features are all incredible. Gorillaz are animated precisely to separate the music from the perception of the artist as well as to conceptualize the stories they try to tell on each record. You don’t have to pay attention to it though. The medium allows Damon an Jamie to feature anyone they want and explore music with way fewer expectations.

[@josephmangin7874]

[@anusername8350]

Graydon loves making the coldest, deadest takes

[@feelingveryattackedrn5750]

Yeah unfortunately plagued by the popularity of the music video of Feel Good Inc which after NFT's (or maybe if you just hate animated stuff in general) now seems uncool. TBH im just surprised to see Gorillaz up here; just like with MCR I know only their most famous song and have never had anyone try to get me to listen to their albums. I saw Gorillaz do a collab with Elton John and it was not impressive to me.

[@hthumbs4072]

I really relate to Graydon's Taylor Swift take. She's fine! I have no issues. I just don't care!
