TPAB is a really long and dense record, i wouldn't blame people for not making it all the way through, at least the first time round, it took a million listens for me to "get" that album, and it's amazing for sure.
i feel like i need to get on genius or watch some vids to help break down the meaning of this album bc it’s so lyrically and musically dense. 2nd listen and there’s some stuff that i don’t understand
@@gabriieIl personal recommendation if you've got the time, just listen to the album, and then whenever you get to a song you feel lost in, (lost meaning that you're not really feeling or understanding it) restart the record, get acquainted with the previous songs again, if you still don't get the song, just get past it and get familiar with the rest, when in doubt, restart the entire record, put songs on repeat incessantly, they're really catchy you've just gotta give them time in your ears!
It’s really just not that type of album that is supposed to be in daily rotation. You have to be in a specific mood to listen to it most of the time, although you can still take songs out of it into your daily rotation, like alright, king kunta, the blacker the berry, etc.
@@milamberyt don’t do any of this shit. if u don’t like it it’s fine, ain’t nothing wrong with that but u don’t gotta force urself to like it by pointlessly listening to it 10 times before “finally getting it”
@@kanyewestgaming5043 Yea I think there are albums where people forcefully shove it down there throat and convince themselves that they like it when they really don’t. That being said, there are albums where I’ve had to listen 3+ times to fully understand and appreciate what I’m listening to
69 love songs is 1 of my favorite albums ever but you really just need to leave it playing while you go about your day and let the best songs stick to you before you try to, like, sit down and listen to it track by track
a crow looked at me is too real
I was going to comment the same. That album makes me cry for a week straight after listening to it. It makes you feel the worst loss of your life all over again.
I listen to 69 Love Songs at least once a year. It's really easy to do because it's one of the best albums ever.
The new Sufjan Stevens record. I know its phenomenal but i just lost a cat and despite the album being about the loss of a person it still hits too home for me right now. Ill come back to it
Wait, it's about a loss of a person? I actually lost my father recently and I'm still grieving. And I just added that album on Spotify to listen to it later without much info about it. Looks like this album will make or break me. 😅
@@21minute it will definitely break you but I promise you that it's worth it. Even if you just come back to it later on in life. I listened through last night and it was honestly really helpful with my grieving process. I am so sorry for your loss. I also would recommend giving Mount Eerie's "A Crow Looked At Me" a listen bc it's another album about mourning that is so phenomenally done and very emotionally impactful
@@21minute also I should have mentioned that this Sufjan record is about the death of his partner back in April and the diagnosis of Sufjans own health problems
@@xBIGFLATSxOh, wow. Thanks for the feedback! I did notice in the past that sometimes it helps me go through sadness by listening to songs about it. Kinda like a projection or defense mechanism? Haha. I'll definitely look at the Mount Eerie's too! Oh, and I'm sorry about you cat too. I definitely know how that feels. Some people invalidate the grief in losing a pet because they're not humans, but I know from experience that the emotional attachment and connection with cats (or dogs) can be just as strong and valid.
This album is so amazing. So comforting on top of being devastating.
Scorpion for me as well. It was actually the first Drake album I got into during quarantine and hearing it, I just wanted the album to be over so badly and thank god I reached the end as I just let the album play. At least I was able to listen to more of Drake overtime mainly from 2011-2015 and Her Loss. That alone was something else way more better compared to an album like Scorpion or Dark Lane Demo Tapes
Dark lane demo tapes is fire
a crow looked at me absolutely destroyed me for like a month
Soundtracks for the Blind
69 love songs is phenomenal
Invincible by Michael Jackson is the longest MJ album objectively looking at it by runtime, but it definitely feels like it. The first part is cool, with some heavy beats and sweet R&B balladry. If the album stopped right there i'd be happy. But then in the second half there are so many songs that feel half-baked and unfinished and are just boring/cheesy ballads that drag the record longer than it should be. The album ends kinda nicely but by that point you wish you were listening to Off The Wall instead.
a crow looked at me is the most valid answer
ESPG by Foo Fighters. For many years, The Pretender (Opener) was the only song I enjoyed of it.
Trout Mask Replica
I feel like that’s unfair to 69 Love Songs, but maybe it’s just a casualty of streaming. On CD it’s split up into three volumes which makes the listening more manageable, as well as making the three, twenty three song, chunks feel more distinct from each other. For my own benefit I ended up making separate playlists for each disc but I get not everyone is going to be that hung up on it. But yeah, damn, I would not be able to listen to it straight the way it’s on Spotify, & I hope that the way it’s presented doesn’t scare people off of this record cause it’s so so good.
69 Love Songs is my favorite album ever lol.
Soundtracks for the Blind
And i love post-rock so i have no issue with long, droning records but man that one is rough
good call on a crow looked at me, i still haven't made it more then a few songs in because i just get inconsolably sad every time
I misread the Wikipedia page and thought Donda was an hour long, shorter than TCD, so by the time I got to the pt 2 tracks I was too mentally exhausted and confused to realize I was listening to tracks I already listened to
honestly i can understand not finishing tpab, especially in terms of getting past track 6, “u”
i struggled with twin fantasy by car seat headrest, not because it was sad (it isnt) but because it made me physically cringe on many situations, also wasnt a fan of the vocal performance
A Crow Looked at Me. I’ve tried it a couple of times now but couldn’t finish. It’s simply too crushing.
As soon as I heard the lesbian line on Girls Want Girls, I turned off CLB, and I haven’t tried to listen to it all the through since
Captain Beefheart- Trout Mask
Lou Reed - Metal Music Machine
I like humanz more than I think a lot of people do but I don't think I've ever gone through it all in one sitting even if it's not an insanely long album. I think the all the interludes kill my attention, like doing something else during a commercial break and never getting back to what you were watching
I feel like Humanz' songs on their own are really good, but there's something in the album track placement that makes it a slodge. It happened to me with the latest Vampire Weekend album. Every song is awesome, but listening to them in one sitting is an ardous task. Is it filler? There may be songs in both albums that could be taken out, but then you listen to those songs and they ARE great. However, both albums have interludes and spoken word parts that just cut the mood instantly. It may be that the reason they feel so long, like you say.
For All the Dogs. It was so long it was like scorpion sequel
Atum...
There is absolutely no way i could finish it all in one sitting. I ended going through each act individually
Any swans album minus the beggar since i listened to it while reading smth. Its just hard to find the time for them. I listen to soundtracks for the blind for like 40 minutes then i pause, get busy wirh smth else, someone posts some music to listen to, and then i forget to finish
*_One Wayne G_* by Mac DeMarco and *_Glitch Princess_* by yeule come into mind immediately.
I've listened to One Wayne G all the way through and that day was f*cking horrible
Daughter of Darkness by Natural Snow Buildings is 7 hrs long so idk if ill ever finish the record ever
Mr. Morale and the Big Steppers honestly
Gonna watch this all day and wonder what other albums you couldn’t finish melon
I’d love to listen to all of Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness by the Smashing Pumpkins, but it’s too long of an album. It’s 2+ hours long, and even though I love the Pumpkins I’ve never listened to it all the way through! I know Melon loves that album though
That mac demarco one, and there's a lot of really good stuff on there but come on
Someone tell fantano his sweater got some stains on it
For all the dogs made me tired
Mellon Collie. Not a terrible album but also one i definetly couldve been made shorter.
A crow looked at me is too sad to finish
I love how no one mentioned SWANS
lit thinkinng of a crow looked at me i cant finsih that album im in tears eveytime i think abt it
"You should enter prepared" 💀
I struggled with Songs in the Key of Life the first few times I listened to it. I love it now, but I still wouldn't choose it first if I wanted to listen to a Stevie album the whole way through.
damn i listen to this album all the way through multiple times in a row back to back multiple times a year its by far my all time favorite :(
It kinda was like that for me the first time as well. I was just overwhelmed by the length. However, when i really sat down and listened to it, i realized it was one of those albums which you don't really feel the runtime, it flies by because of how good every song is. One of my fave records ever, although for a more brief and concise Stevie listen i go for Innervisions or something like that.
I thought i would end up struggling due to the length, but incredible songs get coming and coming. So what actually ended up happening was i couldn't turn it off
I listened to it for the first time this year, all the way through, and I loved it!
Most of RHCP records (especially Stadium Arcadium)
I hated Utopia first listen but its grown on me ever since and i love it now
Daughter of darkness by natural snow buildings. The album clocks in at about 7 hours, so it’s a bit too much for me.
may i recommend the shadow kingdom instead? it's shorter and has some great highlights that sound a bit like what's on dod (and some great folky songs to break it up if it's hard to keep up)
@@maryfreegirl2029 thanks for the recommendation. I’ll make sure to check it out.
To be honest, I don't find 69 Love Songs too hard to get through. So much amazing stuff in it
All I could think of is Use Your Illusion II by Guns N’ Roses.
The Wall by Pink Floyd. Love other records of theirs, but I can never get through a full session of The Wall for whatever reason.
The wall just got 10 feet higher 🧱
Half of it is just drivel and nonsense, the other half is like, some of the greatest music ever put to tape. It's a weird record
its so good tho
I’ve never had trouble with The Wall, it’s just so good all the way through
pretty bad album especially after coming with animals
Encore by eminem. Actually the beginning is pretty incredible. The first few songs had classics like toy soldier. Never enough with nate dogg. Yellow brink road. Mosh. It's focused. It's great hip hop. And then puke hits and that's when I quit
I'll ruin Toy Soldiers for you by telling you to listen to the drums next time you hear it 🗿
@@Tocinosthey not that bad
Tbf the original album had bully, we as americans, love you more, maybe canabitch. Just skip puke, my first single, rain man, big weenie, ass like that. He made those songs in minutes to replace the leaks
@@Tocinosthe drums go hard
I listen to A crow looked at me on repeat while I walk… am I broken?
It has some bangers but I can never finish Un Verano Sin Tí.
Currents. I understand that it’s truer to Kevin’s identity, but Innerspeaker and Lonerism outdistance anything he’s done since.
Goated Miles live album. What I Say is one of his best
@@justsomejusstsome8994 yee
a crow looked at me :(
I agree with the first one. TPAB is just not for me, I've never been able to listen to it in full cuz I just get bored. Still respect Kendrick though
I hardly finished tpab i listened couple of time after that i just don't understand what the big deal is even gkmc is better than tpab.
Meliora by Ghost bored me to death 5 songs in and I turned it off
I rarely see anyone not hating on Lulu while my favourits are berlin live in Italy and rock n roll animal I actually like that album a lot
I may be attacked...Un Verano Sin Ti. Mainly because of length, not really content.
First album that came to mind was OK Computer. First listen fucked me up Bad
As interesting as the songs on their own are I just can’t bring myself to listen to the entirety of Symbols from Noxious Emotion
Any deathgrips album tbf
Some people have never listened to Homework by Daft Punk all the way though in one sitting, myself included
Life is But a Dream
Coldplay's Music of The Spheres
Just came out but For all the dogs felt like a chore to finish
true, and i have been defending the album. I find drake to have some highlights on this album but theres like 6 terrible songs for each good one it makes it impossible to sit thru front to back
@@jaycyclondo❤
@jaycyclondo1848 I did not mean to do that, it was completely accidental and absolutely my fault. I'm very sorry about that, and I hope you'll be willing to forgive me.
@@sizarix huh..?
Pretty hate machine, it turned my stomach into a knot and something about it was fucked up and made me sick. Which might be ironic since songs for the deaf is my fav album and that’s also fucked up. Idk it’s a masterpiece and NIN fs hit the vibes right
Pink Tape
ella fitzgerald sings the gershwin songbook. i love ella, but goddamn that album does not need to be THREE HOURS AND 14 MINUTES LONG. and there isnt much variation. ive listened to it in full twice
another is any christopher cross album. i listened to one while reading american psycho and nearly went insane. my sight went red and my head HURT i had to turn it off
Mansion musik. Trippie is one of f my favorites and i really liked pegasus which was also 26 tracks long and stuffed with features, but this album felt like he knew people wanted more rage and SoundCloud era trippie so ge thru together a bunch of songs hes worked on and made an album. Multiple artists have multiple features. There's only 2 songs with only trippie. The mixing and production ranges from pretty great to levels of bad where you sit and think how the hell did dozens of people hear this and approve it. It took till last month for KRZY TRAIN to get its mix fixed because when the album came out the mix was straight up not finished like they had to mix the song with only 30 minutes till the album dropped. If he didn't drop a love letter to you 5 I'd say this was easily the worst year for trippie
I stopped a few songs into Pike Tape by Lil Uzi Vert.
That God awful Chop Suey cover
how tf did ppl say utopia nah they gotta just be mad about the tragedy cuz ain’t no way bruh
Im gonna be real i couldnt because travis scotts rapping is just boring to me. his production is great but besides some of his hits he rarely has a flow or lyrics that actually interest me.
not even gonna lie multiple swans albums 😞 i like a few of their songs but unfortunately the full albums i’ve tried to listen to felt very long and boring
QUIRKAY!!!!!!!
Any Drake album
Culture II
Happier Than Ever (I love Billie but this album was not it)
Queen (and especially the Deluxe version)
JESUS IS KING
Pink Tape (Uzi is cool but I can't do 1.5 straight hours of him)
Tha Carter V
BUSINESS IS BUSINESS
Nah I’m sorry utopia was good top to bottom
wdym ofc i have 9 hours to listen to bossa nova/pop/ambient album One Wayne G by Mac DeMarco
donda, shit is like 2 hours long
Mechanical Bull
Idk why Infinity on High got so many tracks clocking in at over an hour. It got some singles and ain't that bad but it's a slog, overpacked with filler. Kind of a slump in Fall out boys career. 6/10
Lil B's 855 Based Freestyles mixtape gets a pass, of course
Goblin.
Don’t forget about revival lol
I didn’t finish Whole Lotta Red, but only because it was the first time I had listened to Carti and realized fairly quickly that I don’t like his music very much
Die Lit is like the only good Carti album tbh...
Never even started a Kendrick album because I know I wouldn’t get through it
pink tape
There's really an album called 69 love songs
yeah and its pretty good
I know its so popular but Whole lotta red. I've tried a few times but carti is just not for me
I like his other stuff but Whole Lotta Red is just such a tacky, ugly, unpleasant album
new metallica
Love the Weeknd but I can't do Starboy in one sitting. It's too long and too repetitive
Madvillainy. I've tried to listen to it on 4 separate occasions but I just can't get past few first songs. I really don't get the hype for this album. For me, it's one of the most overrated albums ever
Damn really? I find it one of my most listenable albums front to back. You just gotta throw it on and chill
@@user-lo1tp1dq6i It's cool that you like it! It's funny how even in a small internet bubble people still can have wildly different taste on some picks;
Idk why i expected a crow looked at me
I remember doing an art project and decided to put this on and had to stop at the end of seaweed. TRACK 2.
Okay but like who is going to listen to One Wanye G all the way threw
By The Time I Get To Phoenix, i know it should be a soul crushing album given the background of it, but i seriously can’t listen to it all the way through
When I listened to that record for the first time, I stopped midway through Knees. My throat was hurting so bad and I couldn't take it anymore. Maybe I wasn't in a good place and I could relate to it, maybe that's a factor, but that album crushed my soul I swear.
The 1975, Notes On A Conditional Form.
Tones and I - Welcome To The Madhouse.... It's so awful in every way lol
That and A Day to Remember are the biggest goose eggs of 2021
Was gonna comment this one. I could barely make it past the 3rd song. And I've suffered through the Lil Xan album and the Doug walker parody of The Wall album
For me it’s Xiu Xiu’s _A Promise._ I listened to it on a whim about eight years ago now, thinking it would be some kind of indie rock album (even with that unsettling cover). Nope. I made it four tracks in before I had to shut it off because it was so deeply upsetting to me.
The resulting depression left me puking my guts out for the next 24 hours, and it took me at least a couple of weeks to emotionally recover. I also made the mistake of listening right before bed, so that was fun. I know it may sound like an overreeaction - and in retrospect, it may have been - but in my defense, it’s fucking Xiu Xiu. I still have no intention of ever listening to “Apistat Commander” all the way through.
dont ever listen to mary turner mary turner then off of girl with basket of fruit. youll feel disgusting afterwords
Ahhhh, taking shit on 2 Drake albums in one minute. Classic Melon.
Make Believe by Weezer. It's because of sheer disappointment with what the album is. It could've been great. But instead it was shit. Can't even get past the first song.
@ADifferentShadeOfUtop1ayeah I’m with you on that Perfect Situation is the best song on the album by a mile
Pretty much every Drake album
Except maybe Nothing Was The Same
"Drake bad" is the most NPC take possible in a Fantano comment section
@@no-vk2qe lowkey kinda wish i liked drake but ive tried listening to multiple of his albums and i just cant for some reason
@@no-vk2qe" 😢 he doesn't enjoy my favorite lesbian pop artist, must be NPC"
@@no-vk2qeI think people that watch fantano's regular content are those who are gonna look beyond the sound of a track and listen to things like lyrics, dare about song meaning, want to feel a connection to a track... drake offers none of that and his selling point is having a vibe and creating catchy tracks for radio. Ofc this audience is not gonna love his music and it shouldn't be surprising
St. Anger is actually such a bad album. I don’t know how many shots Lars had the night before to decide that it was a good idea to use that awful snare drum throughout the whole record. 😷/10
