    Compton. No question. I was expecting Detox. The mythical album with the greatest production and features of all-time. Instead we got Compton, literally the worst album I've ever heard in my life.

    Earl Sweatshirt - Doris

    Man, I really wanted to like this album but there's some great songs but the album just has no idea what it's trying to do.

    I've got Arch Dogg on ignore but I'm going to assume that's in reply to him. Surely he's not still going on about it?

    And yeah I was going to say MMLP2 but it hasn't died down that much for me. I just consider it average I don't hate it.

    you have such perplexingly awful taste

    i think it knows exactly what it's trying to do, which is to be intentionally off-putting

    I get wanting Bangers but whats wrong with Pro Black? Would you have rathered him be Anti-Black? Or did you just mean you prefer the West coast b-----r filled narrative of GKMC over the political & personal reflections of TPAB?


    EDIT: And for me Encore. Three Classics in a row and he drops that? Whats so painful about it is that it had real potential, In fact take off the bad songs and replace them with the good songs he kept in the vault, plus throw in all his diss tracks on a bonus disk and boom. You have a classic. Relapse is the same. looking at some of the leaked tracks from Relapse/Relapse 2/King Mathers, there was enough material there to create a great album. Recovery I don't hate but I didn't like it either. MMLP2 is a disappointment for what it could have been. If he had done that album with The Bass Brothers and Dre instead of Rubin, It could have been something really special.

    An album doesn't have to have one specific theme or go in one specific direction, every song on Doris was dope as s---

    I disagree with this as well. It was simply a culmination of all the conflicting thoughts of his life at that point. Working with Tyler and trying to recapture his old life through childish odd future songs, family problems, substance abuse, depression, and hiding all his problems to still be silly ol earl we saw before the camp. It's better BECAUSE it's seemingly directionless because that's how his life was, which makes IDLSIDGO all the more fitting

    Yeezus, MMLP2, The Growing Process, Animal Ambition(s?) are ones that come to mind recently.

    The Game - Red Album. I remember that big thread on SL, everybody was hyped as f---.
    I think it has some great tracks on there, but mostly fillers.

    Snoop Dogg - Everything after Tha Blue Carpet Treatment

    G-Unit - T.O.S (Terminate On Sight)

    Ya Boy - Rich Rocka.
    Might be the biggest disappointment of them all

    Bone Thugs N Harmony - Uni5: The World's Enemy and The Art of War: World War III

    I was gonna say this. RED was hyped up for years man. I was really looking forward to that album and it turned out to be a huge let down. Ricky is a great song though.

    I have a more thorough review of the album here, which explains my thoughts on it a lot better:

    It's not the worst album you've ever heard you're just saying that to get attention. I can't believe you're still going with this.

    Back to ignore you go.
