  • I haven't heard thew new Weeknd album so this doesn't pertain to that, it just got me thinking.

    I remember when like Yeezus was critically acclaimed this website was still torn on it and a lot of people at the time didn't think it deserved all the success, but after time has passed I think everyone can appreciate that album in some way.

    So my question is when have critics actually gotten it wrong when it comes to acclaiming an album? What's a really high rated album that actually sucks?

    I know people are going to say one of either DAMN, Currents or Because The Internet

    Yes but I can’t give an example because that would require me to have a list of “critically-acclaimed albums” in my brain, and fortunately I do not

    there are many highly acclaimed albums I don't think are that good but an album that actually sucks?

    Beatles - Let It Be (tbf I guess it's only this acclaimed because it's The Beatles. often considered one of their weakest efforts.)
    Tame Impala - Currents
    Dr. Dre - Compton (sry but not even remotely close to being as good as The Chronic or 2001)

    idk what's going on with the new weeknd album, I just saw 'critically acclaimed' in the thread title and it spawned this question in my head.

    im tryna figure out if critics who sometimes get a bad rep actually have merit and how many times they've actually gotten it wrong.

    like outside of 1-2 albums itt I think objectively a lot of albums named are amazing lol

    My dad tried to play the Weather Station album in the car and it was complete ass. Personally I'm of the opinion that critical acclaim is almost as irrelevant as commercial acclaim, both just something you use to validate your opinions
