What makes a great album great?
Spartan Pho3nix:
You didn't want to do that. I'm twenty minutes away. Here I come.

Can I see that argument? I'd be fun to read.
sketchyjoe:
A great album is one where you never think "That could be shorter" or "I wish they hadn't included that". The only dissapointment a great album should offer is when it finishes and you realise it's over.

If that's a description of an actual band, tell me it now so I can explode from amazingasms.
Tago Mago:
Not to try and ruin your thread, but I'm sure a big part of what makes those albums great is what the listener brings to the experience...unconscious biases and such driven by definitely non-musical inclinations, like the desire to fit into a certain culture. If we accept this, then I guess what makes those albums great for a lot of people is that they present interesting problems which aren't easily solved.
nescience:
Tago, I'll agree with you on the more holistic view of "greatness", but is the album really "great" because of the issues they present, or is the album "great" as because of listener response as a result of the listener being immersed in those issues?
