One of mine is Commit This to Memory by Motion City Soundtrack. I basically took the title verbatim and know the album word for word. And while I would love if it did, the rest of MCS's stuff just doesn't hit the same way.

And if you're not an album person, maybe a period of time in the artist's work? Whatever works for you.

*Lots of mentions of hit debut albums that subsequently petered out, which follows with the dreaded sophomore slump that hits many artists. Anyone with mid or even later career albums that stand alone? Those always intrigue me.

Daft Punk for me. Random Access Memories is perfect from start to finish but their other albums don't do much for me even though I like many of the songs.

I’m the exact opposite, but I’ve been into house music for 20+ years

I wonder if The Avalanches have a simial divide of fans.

[–] Cornucopiaofplenty@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

Honestly I love each of the avalanches albums, I understand that their sound changed a lot and that isn't gonna sit well with everyone but I see the genius in each one for their own reasons

[–] SHOW_ME_YOUR_ASSHOLE@lemm.ee 2 points 7 months ago

It's not an age thing as I've been listening to electronic music since Prodigy dropped The Fat of The Land in the 90's. I discovered Orbital and Daft Punk shortly thereafter. I was into the music at the time I just don't think Daft Punk's albums are great except for RAM.

[–] Mechanite@lemmy.world 6 points 7 months ago

Makes sense considering how musically distanced RAM is from everything else they've made, it's a lot less house-y than their earlier albums. Talking as a die hard daft punk fan.

Haven't heard that take before, interesting. When did you start listening to their music? No judgement, no quip coming, just interested; sometimes the order we hear music from an artist gives us a very different impression than someone who followed them chronologically.

[–] GrayBackgroundMusic@lemm.ee 2 points 7 months ago

Lol, I'm the exact opposite. I really dislike Random, and love everything else.

[–] readthemessage@lemmy.eco.br 1 points 7 months ago

I have the same opinion! Once, I had the idea to check the album reviews on reddit, and I was surprised by people not liking it so much. As people commented here, Daft Punk fans do not like it because of the same reason hehe
