    In fairness 85-90% of Metallica does kinda suck

    when you split the record up like this it really comes across as side a being a daytime record and side b being the nighttime record.

    Listening to Notes now and I can understand how this was a lot to chew for some people. However, I love sprawling albums filled with all sorts of strange directions so I appreciate it. The ambient/electronic stuff is actually sometimes the most enjoyable.

    For the longest time Notes was fun when I was in the mood for the full journey but I had a hard time picking out favorite moments.

    every other 1975 album is handily better than self-titled

    I mean, it’s not surprising he thinks that. I think most artists should believe their more recent albums are better than their older output.

    Maybe so, maybe not.

    This is their best record since ILIWYS. Focus, cohesion, and a distinct lack of bloat compared to NOACF and ABIIOR, with all of their best attributes on display.

    I don’t find A Brief Inquiry to be bloated at all, honestly. I think it’s cohesive and flows very well

    If you combined the ABI and Notes eras you’d have a standalone greatest hits album

    To each their own! The highs are very high but it's very rarely an album I am going to listen to from to back. BFIAFL is another story in that regard.

    I’m curious which songs you aren’t into on that album. Not to be combative, just interested!

    TooTime is probably their weakest single imo
