don't agree with prefuse 73 though, One Word Extinguisher is his best album for me

To be fair - NaS' output after Illmatic isn't necessarily bad - but Illmatic is a fucking classic.

Well.. His choice of beats has been absolutely dreadful on all his albums after Illmatic. With very few exceptions on a couple of tracks.

Dj Shadow really is a shining example.

I always wondered if there was something George Lucas-y about DJ Shadow, ie being surrounded by people who were really talented at their craft and carried him quite a ways, while reaping all of the benefits. I have no evidence to support this, it just seems so odd that he was able to make an album like Entroducing, and then do something like this...




Granted, i like a lot of the instrumentals on UNKLE's Psyence Fiction, and I think his Entroducing influence had more to do with why I liked that album more than anything. I don't like any of the Unkle releases there after.

gotta step in and disagree here.

He worked with Del later and also did the Only She Chapters and, well, a shitbucket full of other stuff that's just as surprising and fresh as OWE. love the guy.

[ThatSpanishGuy]

Slipknot

MFKR showed a lot of potential, self-titled is an album I still love and listen to from time to time. The rest is shit

[Awepittance]

Wu-tang Clan - Enter the 36 chambers (not counting any post debut album solo efforts)


Christian Death - Only Theatre of Pain (this is probably the biggest tragedy since the debut album is perhaps the greatest goth rock album of all time)


Front 242 - Geography (the first album has a very analog , minimal wave darker industrial sound to it, then they just went into cheesy belgian new beat territory with bad vocals for the rest of their career)

the next one may make some people actually pissed off, but i strongly believe that after the first 2 Primus albums (suck on this and frizzle fry) it was a slow downhill trek

I agree about Bloc Party, disagree about Goldfrapp - I think Black Cherry was a good 2nd album.

Oasis - Definitely Maybe
Interpol - Turn On The Bright Lights

Vol.3 is better imo. And I liked All Hope Is Gone as well, especially the melodic parts.

i think most of that is wrong.

i haven't heard some of them but, for example, 'Demon Days' was much better than the first Gorillaz album... etc.
