If everyone is calling an album/song GOAT first listen, it often means it's generic, palatable and not boundary-pushing. it's not 100% true, but it is - most of the time

ayy op can u tell u something

Shut
the
f***
up

Music can be great without pushing boundaries

original

Depends on what you mean by "great"

why do i feel like every single one of op’s threads is a sly effort to push his music

Counterpoint: I am very intelligent

Daytona was a classic after one listen and it wasn’t anything ground breaking

One day I’ll listen

don't derail tho

I coulda played for that damn florida state

Exception

100%, so much of the best s*** ever sucks on first listen

True, PARTYMOBILE OUT NOW!

gotta admit 8 Years A is pretty divisive

must be great music

Yup

PND’s discog is perfect example

It is

Exactly every album is a grower, except maybe p1 for me

any album i truly loved I was put off by it on the first listen. if it doesn't challenge your tastes, it won't stick with you.
