    Just a thread to prove critics aren't always right, so let's list some albums were the critics completely f----- up

    I'll start because I made the thread and so well I automatically have the first post and I'm not @ConspiracyGang

    808s & heartbreak

    Trashed by the critics when it first came out but finished by being considered as a classic and having a huge influence on rap

    I just don't understand why people who like something can't come to grips with the fact that other people simply have different taste and accept it instead of constantly posting pretentious bs about their subjective opinion being superior to others. Like it's cool if you don't like their opinion because it's not the same as yours, but chill the f--- out insulting people over it.

    The MOTM series was praised by fans but the critics thought it was meh. To me and a lot of people they are classics.

    Should be an 80 at least, with the first getting an 85.

    @Pato v2 I see @Cyreides point, but I just think it's a bit of a cop out. We're humans, we can think critically about things such as music.


    Also at cy, my point with the rock music example is: not liking something doesn't make it bad music. I can't stand country music, to me it's terrible. However, I can acknowledge there are aspects to it that make it good music, like catchiness, writing, etc. But you believe there isn't any objectivity in music so I guess that doesn't apply to you. I just think it's closed minded to call something, as a whole, "bad" just because you don't like it.


    Edit: I think we're making the same points but just on opposite sides. Probably just some miscommunication.

    He does have a point, but it's a bit more complicated than what it seems

    There are objectively bad factors in music

    The example you posted "55 minutes of fart sounds" doesn't have basic composition, subject, rhythm, message, etc. It's just fart sounds

    But if we talk about, for example, a proper artist or group, that's a completely different conversation

    ICP for me might be the worst thing to ever happen to music, but they fill the basic requirements to be considered "art", therefore it's valid to have an argument about it

    Fast food is objectively bad for health reasons, but how it tastes is completely subjective
