Lmao @ rae’s Album Being a Letdown. That Whole Album Save for like 2 joints are Rae at his Best. I Agree It isn’t better than Its Predecessor, but damn if it doesn’t come close.

Now im Looking Forward To That Collabo Album. Wu-Tang Bitches!

I never really got into the band, but I did enjoy a lot of The Crane Wife. Since then, I’ve found them to be a bit dull for my taste…

Thought of another record that could’ve been baller but was bunk: Street Sweeper Social Club.

The Hazards of Love is only a let down if you were already a fan of the Decemberists. If, like me, you weren’t all that familiar with the back catalogue and didn’t particularly care to know it, Hazards was a pretty great album even better when heard live! xo

Man, Noble Beast is a very fine album and has no business being on this list. Of course to each, their own. I just had to offer a rebuttal. Sorry, don’t usually feel the need.

I think you nailed these.I guess a lotta bands are happy with all that filler.I find most albums don’t inspire complete listening anymore.

OB4CL II is hip-hop best record. Are you fucking kidding me? Well received?
The 4th highest rated at Metacritc.

Ghostface, major letdown.

I agree with Andrew Bird being on the list – don’t know what happened there. Flaming Lips on the other hand is definitely one of my favorite albums this year.
