How soon after release can an album be fully canonised as an all-time classic undisputed 10/10 masterpiece

Ahahahahaha

Actually agree with Eric about GKMCs production / Drakeness

Looking back a decade, the difference in how the most acclaimed albums are viewed now is pretty big, like Neon Bible had a better score on metacrictic (yeah it’s flawed whatever) than either Boxer or Sound of Silver, which seems pretty daft now

Can it be removed again after another 10 years?

Poor trolling.

Of course - you’ve got to make space for the new all time classic undisputed 10/10 masterpiece. But it’s crucial that this only happen at the end of a decade.

If it is the defining moment for a musician who has died, it can be very quick. See Nevermind or the Holy Bible.

Aggpass · 2017-01-18T12:41:21.466Z

nah, otherwise you’d have Back to Black, which no one wants

Coincidentally enough I was looking at one of these at my folks’ house over Christmas from the late 90s. There were a few ‘flavour of the month’ albums in that - although Placebo’s debut is the only one I can remember off the top of my head

I feel an “Albums that no one has thought about in ages” thread coming on…

ninetyeightytwo:

As an authority, do you think the last two Stars of the Lid albums qualify? I do.

Hmmmmm. I like SOTL but I don’t love either album. They do appear to be cannonised though so idk. Fwiw i thought the kyle bobby dunn album did the same thing much better.

MHTRTC definitely qualifies. It’s probably the best example of a classic for me. It sounds like nothing that came before it, is a hands down 10/10, has aged amazingly, sparked a whole bunch of imitators and still towers over every one of them.

Not a popular field though. In the context of ambient music it is absolutely a classic

bugduv · 2017-01-18T18:14:40.362Z

I’m not winding you up. I really think GK, MC is a very, very good record.

I don’t think TPAB is. I understand the relevance and importance of some of the tracks and all that…i just don’t enjoy the songs as much or think they’re as good a quality.

I’m absolute fine if you think opposite or like neither or both.

theShipment · 2017-01-18T18:44:14.815Z

I def go back to gkmc more. something like gkmc 9 and tpab 8 for me

coolerthantv · 2017-01-19T00:03:22.879Z

Whilst we’re on GKMC, has anyone seen the short film Khalil Joseph (music video director, made that famous video for FlyLo’s Until The Quiet Comes) made for it?

Managed to catch it at The Infinite Mix exhibition in London at the end of last year. It was incredible and really made me delve back into the album.

Only link I can find for it online is on reddit hiphopheads - don’t want to post it here in case it’s an illegal link but do try and seek it out if you can.

shrewbie · 2017-01-19T07:18:04.095Z

i also prefer TPAB these days actually, hits that sweet spot between weirdness and accessibility where most of my favourite music lies. binged GKMC more when it came out though

mouth_breather · 2017-01-19T10:11:00.033Z

Think I’ll still consider this 10/10 in 5 - 10 years time
