Greatest Album of the Decade Tournament, ROUND TWO

<< < (20/32) > >>

Hat:
who would have thought that a music forum full of nerdy white socially awkward people would not be pushing a massive hip-hop contingent

I shoulda nominated The Loneliest Punk though because that album is fucking dope.

The main reason I avoided nominating too much hip-hop though is that I mostly like stuff like Brad Strut that everyone here would fucking hate anyway.

Dimmukane:
As far as Dead Meadow vs Justin Timberlake goes, one act put together a phenomenal stoner-rock record for 200$ in a garage, whereas the other put together a pretty good (or so I've heard) pop/dance album (which admittedly I have not listened to in its entirety) with a whole lot of studio help and a previous career in a boy band.  One act pens lyrics involving Lovecraftian creatures, and the other act sings about bringing sexy back. 

When I listen to the opening strains of Sleepy Silver Door, I am visualizing the trees and mountains uprooting themselves to fight against the Old Ones; when I listen to Sexyback, I visualize some kids found those giant pianos you walk on and started stomping on a few keys at random and repeated that for a while because they thought it sounded cool.  For me to really like a record it has to paint a scene in my mind that captivates me and make me want to stare at it awhile.  It doesn't have to follow a theme, it just has to be pleasing to my inner eye or whatever you want to call it, and Futuresex/Lovesounds doesn't do that for me. 

That's the best justification I can offer as to why I would pick Dead Meadow over Futuresex/Lovesounds.  I don't think it's a bad album, it's just not one I like, whether it is superior to the other or not.
