What makes a great album great?

--- Quote from: Paper Beats Rock ---I like originality, I like it when you can barely describe how a band sounds without referencing four or more other bands.

That statement does not compute.
TrueNeutral:
I think he means as opposed to bands you can just say 'it sounds like [insert random band here]', so instead you have to mix a crapload of bands together to get a sound even remotely similar.
But yeah, the comment doesn't make a lot of sense.
KharBevNor:
True originality is when you have to reference four other bands that also have to have four bands each reference to describe him
"Whoa, dude! This sounds like Nurse With Wound vs Current 93 fighting ...And Oceans on an icy slope whilst Ulver urinates on them, all to a backing by Captain Beefheart!"
Luke C:
--- Quote from: Storm Rider ---Great albums have uniform quality. Not that every track has to be a classic, but when listening to a great album you should never have the urge to hit the 'skip' button.

This is true but that would make an excellent album not a GREAT album IMO.
GREAT albums just have that extra something.

Yeah, that's what I meant and I think it does make sense. I'm just kinda basing it on the assumption that no music is really that original, you can always compare it to something, it's just the really 'original' stuff takes lots of different bands.
That's what I think makes an album 'great', an indisposability that comes with originality.
