I don’t think music is that deep. If it’s a “demanding” album then to me that sounds like an excuse to like something you don’t really f*** with

Yes it is

Not everyone is gonna consume music the way you do tho. I don’t get why that concept is so hard for some of y’all to understand lol

The most important factor in my eyes when it comes to music is how much people like it

The idea that a project is soooo good that I only wanna listen to it once every two years is flawed to me

Replay value is very real but it’s all subjective

Just like almost everything in music

Recovery is a top 5 rap album of all time by some of y’all logic

One listen classics lol

Niggas will claim classics for albums that they literally never ever ever listen to 😂😂😂

And replay value isn’t the same thing as accessibility

The most easily accessible thing in the world may not have replay value to some people. Some people would rather replay Illmatic than an Ed Sheeran album

Some music gets better with age
Some music gets old quick
Stupid thread tbh

Its something only Drake can do

All the way through from front to back? S*** idk lol

But Elevate, Is There More, Jaded, Mob Ties, Nonstop, Emotionless, Can't Take A Joke, Blue Tint, all get daily spins. They're on my AM workout playlist.

I think it's unrealistic in this playlist centered climate to consistently play albums all the way through, but you should find enough moments in your life to play chunks of the record if you genuinely like it to the point of calling it a classic.

Yall really feel like this ?

I can put on any Frank album at anytime and enjoy it

I just feel like a lot of what we feel about Albums in general is conditioned to us. Like, Idk.

How can an album be a classic, that people rave about, get 10/10's on pitchfork, but no one gives a f*** about it within two years after it's release?

Just me, and I know i'm in the minority on this

replay value is for video games

you just press play and listen. the f***

nope it totally is.

not gonna toss on "u" in the car

But like if you're in your room chillin you could listen to it again and again right?

Well that is what the album is about

Nigga is 30 I hope his next album is his most mature

Is replay value not real for other art like movies? If you like a movie, do you watch it every day for a week?

I mean yeah maybe not "again and again" but I feel like for that song in particular a lot of it's charm comes within the context of the album

personally I really dig the super dense introspective stuff for the context of an album listen but I'm not gonna put it in a playlist to

def seeing your point though now to an extent lol

It’s real
