It is just stunningly beautiful and so emotionally moving. Every song is so intricate and well written. The length of the songs allows him to explore ideas to the fullest without ever wasting a note.

what's wrong with liking the same sorts of music that an unaffiliated critic does?
Kayden Jones
>A man sits in a car on a tree-lined street, watching a fourteen-year-old girl walking home from school, hopelessly in love with her. I've almost come to blows with friends because of my insistence that much of Van Morrison's early work had an obsessively reiterated theme of pedophilia, but here is something that at once may be taken as that and something far beyond it. He loves her. Because of that, he is helpless. Shaking. Paralyzed. Maddened. Hopeless. Nature mocks him. As only nature can mock nature. Or is love natural in the first place? No Matter. By the end of the song he has entered a kind of hallucinatory ecstasy; the music aches and yearns as it rolls on out. This is one supreme pain, that of being imprisoned a spectator. And perhaps no so very far from "T.B. Sheets," except that it must be far more romantically easy to sit and watch someone you love die than to watch them in the bloom of youth and health and know that you can never, ever have them, can never speak to them.
Bentley Wood
the problem is that scaruffi has literal nega-taste.

there isn't some objective measure of "taste" we can access and apply to anything so subjective as music, which relies a whole lot on emotional content. i'm only a scaruffi drone because i love his selections, whether you do or not

Carter Morgan
my post sent late, after I'd seen your reply regarding that. i love that choice but you still never properly defended your position and i think rock bottom has much more merit than sgt. pepper's
Camden Moore
Pleb spotted
Cameron Lee
Wyatt had a very interesting career, but it only came to full force when he tamed some of the disjointed failures like Rock Bottom. Right around Old Rottenhat he started pulling together music that was more conventionally sensible, but it ended up less satisfying. It lacked his earlier wild freedom. When both sides were synthesized together, he was at his best.
Shleep is his true masterpiece.
Luke Rogers
now we're getting somewhere; that's an interesting take and it seems we diverge at what you consider "conventionally sensible" because i think that Rock Bottom has a lot of straightforward sensibility despite its free-form structures. its emotional content upholds is enhanced by the experimentation to me but that's just me
Joseph Brooks
a ton of what is presented on Rock Bottom is just straight up ugly. At times, like the "Robert Wyatt pretends to be a trombone." section during A Last Straw, the stuff is lame. Alifib is mostly a boring interlude, and the last few minutes of the album are just fucking awful.
There's great material there, and the album has a certain intensity to it that is pretty rare, but it's not refined. Alife is the pinnacle of it, and worth note for sure.
On Shleep, though, you have the same intensity on tracks like Was a Friend or Alien, with much clearer and better-presented ideas. It also presents a much larger range of emotions - from joy, to fury, to peace. It is both more creative and better refined music than Rock Bottom.
Camden Morales
you make a strong point, but i don't think any of it is downright "ugly" or "boring" because the emotive progressions and arrangements substantiate themselves as they change, and with extended listening they seem to evolve and reveal more emotional content. not only that, but the textures at play are vibrant and all of the melodies and harmonies reveal
their own purposes; the percussion follows the same line of quality and serves every piece perfectly. it all actually seems refined to perfection to me, a freeing expression with all kinds of beauty to it, but this is just all just a polarity in our emotional experiences with the material rather than just a problem of the forms Wyatt presents.
Cameron Thompson
reasonable + based
you don't understand music or the question
Lucas Ramirez
you can't tell me that the 1:40 mark of Sea Song is anything other than trash. A piano trill and aimless synth warbles beneath generally senseless atonal faff.
I mean, you can talk about the melodies. Plenty of the vocal melodies on the album are fine and sometimes phenomenal. But, they so often just stumbles back into the ugly zone. The section that begins with "Remind me of your rocky bottom..." on A Last Straw is just hideous in terms of melody. The guitar work during the following bridge (if you can call it that) is laughable, too.
Rock Bottom is... a mess. There's cool ideas at one moment, then suddenly you're hurled into a wall of just terrible stuff. I don't want to have to sit through bad music while listening to good music. I'd prefer just to listen to good music.

Jack Lewis
the general cycle of getting into music goes
listening to the well respected and popular albums -> listen to the older more influential albums that less people talk about -> go and listen to the other albums by these artists, albums that inspired them, things there were involved with etc. -> slowly getting more obscure and developing your own taste -> after a lot of hard work find a roster of not very well know albums that you really love -> after many years decide to listen to the well known albums for a bit of fun -> after years of sifted through a very mixed bag of things finally appreciate why theyre so well regarded -> listen to them all with fresh ears and a new appreciation
most people who actually know a shit ton about music usually have a mixture of 'classic' stuff that everyone knows and obscure stuff theyve found themselves
maybe one day youll reach the point where you can appreciate these 'classic' records and not shit on be this pretentious about it
i used to be like you, then i continued listening to music and a few of the well known albums in this thread would be my picks too
dont worry you'll get there friend, you just need to listen to more music before you start throwing your opinion around

David King
Within the genre there's no competion
Joshua Ortiz
To me, Hounds Of Love is a gorgeous collection of refined baroque pop and art pop pieces with a phenomenal story-telling and atmosphere crafting. The Ninth Wave is a masterful motivational story with abstract metaphysical tracks. I see no flaw. By the way, The Ninth Wave (Side B) is a story of a girl who gets lost in the middle of the sea. In “Under Ice” she remembers it, then there are a few tracks where she sees the past, the present and future; and last but not least, “Hello Earth”, in which she is close to death and feels herself ascending to the space. After that, in “The Morning Frog”, it’s revealed that she survived; and now she will appreciate life much more. She’ll tell her father, she’ll tell her mother, she’ll tell her brother... how much she loves them. That’s the beauty of Hounds Of Love and why I find it the best album in existence: it wasn’t just ahead of the curve in terms of production, had a glorious and grandiose vocal performance, a highly optimistic way of thinking and a great creation of abstract trips full of psychological introspection: it is also the kind of album to make you appreciate life. No album has ever made me feel like Hounds Of Love, both sides.

I have Astral Weeks and I find it unlistenable. The music doesn't DO anything. The melodies don't GO anywhere. His Moondance album which came out 2 years later fixed all those issues. So, while many people ADORE Astral Weeks, it says something that Van Morrison never made a "Son of Astral Weeks".
And not that sales are a barometer of artistic value, in fact, the inverse is often true, Astral Weeks failed to make the Top 200 U.S. albums. Moondance, by contrast, made it to #29.
Nathaniel Walker
That's unfortunate, I fine that album and On the Beach to be among the most emotionally moving albums I've listened to.
Adrian Ross
A valid choice.
But also, the self-titled album that came before it in 1975 was in the same league. But perhaps a LITTLE less polished.
Gabriel Fisher
I wonder if live albums should be excluded (much as we would for compilations) from this discussion. Yes, they are "albums", but they are also "concerts". They are shows where an artist often plays material from all over his career. Live albums, in my view, should be a separate -- but worthy -- category.
Oliver Watson
Underrated in this thread, best Mingus album and one of the best jazz/classical albums ever
Aaron Ward
Incredible album.
I have heard people say that all the time, and mention other albums that are better. Every time I go to listen to the other albums, they're nothing special. I think it's just contrarianism. Love Supreme is one of the greatest albums ever recorded, and I say that as not much of a Coltrane fan.
Jeremiah Robinson
My personal GOAT album.
It's everything you'd want in a TRULY great album. Every song tells its own little story. MANY different musical genres are on display. All done well. And yet, for all of the variety, there is the one unifying thread of Sparks' *sound* as a band that holds it all together.
My 2nd greatest album ever is Sgt. Pepper, just to give you a baseline measurement.

It's his best but he really doesn't set the bar high. TPAB is the only album he's made with lyrical substance apart from Good Kid, and both albums are highly overrated
I really don't understand why people herald it as the pinnacle of music. Yes the songs are enjoyable, but the lyrics aren't that deep, the songs aren't as ambitious in composition as many of Pink Floyd's other albums, let alone taking in the scope of progressive rock as a whole before the album was released, or afterwards. You can't argue that it wasn't a highly successful album that has influenced a lot of people, but you can still critique the content. It's still good though
These are all albums that push the envelope of what music can be.

A Thousand Suns by Linkin Park will always be one of my favorites. Extremely underrated, it got so much hate because of all the fillers. It's important to listen to the whole thing from beginning to end if you want the fillers to make any sense. Other than that, the actual songs on this album are godly and filled with so much emotion. I cry every tiem
John Price
none of your arguments... are really fleshed out beyond: i don't know why people like astral weeks
the music doesn't do anything:.... i guess you mean it's repetitive? There's progression and buildup on every song, it's pretty well-done songwriting wise too... even a simple song like Madame George is a template for the musicians to improv wonderful things
moondance fixed issues: moondance is great but astral weeks is transcendent
says something he never made a son: I'm guessing you are talking about commercial appeal due to the next sentence, qualifying your lack of enthusiasm for the album with the general lack of enthusiasm you think it elicited, with the broader public...
definitely not unlistenable, listen to the lyrics, fall in love and listen to sweet thing.
