    that run of Connect - The Language - 305 to my city lowers the album as a whole for me

    Because he makes accessible music. Critics will always have a penchant for what we all like to call ‘mysterious music’. Popular, accessible music is harder to intellectualise and marry up with high ratings. That’s why the concept of ‘critic bait’ exists.

    but doesn't accessible music inherently have a ceiling in quality? it's virtually impossible to cater to so many different tastes and make something truly great.

    accessible music is easier to like but harder to love imo and ik this sounds crazy pretentious

    Its the truth man. Compare the deep cuts on NWTS and the deep cuts on Scorpion

    It depends. NTWS and IFYRTIL are accessible music but are truly great imo

    Yeah you're right OP. TC, NWTS, IYRTITL should all be in the 80s.

    Ok but how can 9/10 album not have a 7/10 song if it had loads of 10/10’s and 9/10s?

    That’s why those consensus “perfect” albums are rare only come across a few times a decade.

    I get this point and you expressed it cogently but I think we need to pretty much ignore critics when it comes to pop and mainstream rap. Critics will do an excellent job at reviewing stuff that is specialist and more left-field, but to us plebs with uncultivated ears who want to just listen to something sonically pleasing and not admire the “harmonisation of the underlying aesthetic with the distortion of the instrumentation”, it’s pointless.

    Too much fat and filler. If half it was cut it would be good but not a classic. and i'm saying this as someone who's enjoyed every drake project except Scorpion

    Not disagreeing but the "If you cut the filler out" is honestly the laziest form of critiquing any album or project in general because nobody defines what "filler" is that isn't synonymous with "song I didn't like".

    This perfectly sums up critic culture

    Lots of critics review people and not music

    Which is why they don’t matter in the grand scheme of things

    You need to revisit The Language. I think that was my favourite cut on the project when it came out.
