Revival. It was not near Eminem's full potential but it was still pretty great AND was 10x better than most rap is right now...
Birds in the trap
Realistically the most underrated album of all time wouldn't even be rated enough to get on a video like this
enormous brain take
No it was Lil Pumps self titled album
Incorrect. The correct answer is Saul Williams self-titled album. Saul Williams self-titled album is the answer we were looking for.
Most unknown good album? I'd rather think of an album that a lot of people are aware enough about to form some kind of prejudice or vague perception.
Crimson by Edge of Sanity. I will never understand why nobody talks about it

0:11 Radiohead: Planet Telex
On one side I'm like "How do you even know that it could be from so many other songs instead" but at the same time I feel like you just know it for sure.
Words cannot describe how much I love that song
Damn you’re right

@ECCO but they're extremely popular

ECCO false
First listened to Black on Both Sides this year. It was my first exposure to Mos Def and it's already become a top 10 if not top 5 hip hop record
It’s phenomenal along with Black Star’s self titled album.
I've just listened to it! I might be biased for already liking Yasiin for for work on various Gorillaz and Kanye projects, but I did really enjoy the album
velocity: design: comfort by sweet trip is so fucking underated and the album cover is amazing
My favorite album
I think since it's /mu/ it's getting enough recognition
wdym its top album in rym and constantly talked about in /mu/. not that underrated in the underground
@@justanotherfishinbikinibot6060 this comment is 7 moths old, it was much less popular back then
a friend of mine on discord just recommended me this project so imma see how it goes but judging by the genres alone, I'm pretty hyped for it
I know nostalgia critic’s The Wall is criminally underrated, but calling it the most underrated album of the decade?
Crow Reputable it’s a horrible album
It ain’t underrated
It underhated
Nostalgia Critic's The Wall is underrated because no one listens to such bad music
It's underrated because it's genuinely funny and doesn't get the praise it deserves because people take Nostalgia Critic too seriously and can't handle when someone "disrespects" their little favorite bland album.
@@pudge5174 is this an unironic comment haha
@@gabeh1839 it's a joke
"Not Underated, but Overhated" is a t-shirt slogan if I ever heard one.
Sounds like a similar line from Melon’s favourite album MBDTF...
You won't believe it but when I tried to think of the most underrated album in the beginning og the video I could only think about decent albums that are given too much hate, "over... hated... albums" I thought to myself "most overhated albums; that would be a good next topic! With like a little wordplay in there as well! Kind of brilliant, let's suggest that in comment and..."... I had lost what Fantano was talking about at this point but after like five seconds he came into that very frase - M7nd a bit blown
Audioslave's debut album is one of my favorite rock albums of all time, but grossly underappreciated. It's one of the rare examples of albums from which every track could be a hit.
Literally one of the most beloved rock groups and albums from the early 2000s
@@namijmi8179 at the time their albums were kinda panned.
I was so pumped when I first heard they were getting together cause they came from 2
Bands I adore but it sounded more of a "make money" project than anything else. Album is ok but I don't see why ppl should praise it unless by exclusively personal taste.
Second time I've read this so I'll listen and hope not disappointed. Check out supergroup Handsome from 1997. Heavy melodic 90s
PREAAACH!!
"Scott 4" by Scott Walker. HOW is it not more famous? Genius album that sounds like it came out yesterday (I think it's from 1969).
I personally think Scott 3 is better, but they are both incredible, and have aged well
Nite Flights by the Walker Brothers is another album that just blew my mind.
@@daveysaturn7232 I like two of the Scott songs off nite flights but other than that I can't get into it
Anthony: tell me the most underrated albums of all time

Greeze exactly, ahaha Animals go
s t o n e
S T O N E
Yeah,but Floyd pre- Darkside is total trash. Only Saucerful and Pipers are good. And my favorite PF album is also Animals
Bernardo Carneiro sir they wrote their best song pre darkside,Seamus and Echoes
shawn cee’s unreleased album doesn’t count wtf
Shawn Cee’s obscure sample identification skills are underrated
Melon had a private listening party thats why
if u buy a physical copy of his album it comes with a leg reveal dont tell anyone i told u tho
is he making music?
Dusty Computer it’s a meme between the fan base
Atom Heart Mother definitely is the most underrated. Summer 68 and Fat old sun are classics, even if is really good. But it was the perfect middle ground between the early stuff and what Floyd did on Meddle.
If anything, Meddle is the most underrated album from their work. While Echoes is absolutely incredible and it carries the albums on its shoulders, the rest of the tracks, apart from Seamus imo, are utterly fantastic as well. Fearless is golden, A Pillow of Winds is one of the most relaxing songs ever made with a close 2nd being San Tropez later on, and the opener One of These Days is brilliant as well. Echoes obviously gets a lot of credit, which it 110% deserves, but it’s not the only exceptional track on the album.
jsmarty1 meddle really doesn't get the praise it deserves
Fuck yes, I adore that album
I think the reason why AHM is rated the way that it is is just because Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast is just that awful of a track.
@@samt3412 Alans psychedelic breakfast is my favourite pink floyd song :( You just dont understand the vibe of epic psycheldic piano music and breakfast noises :)

Hany M.Gamal asking what the most underrated albums were WAS the trick question...
Only if you assume that there is an objective answer, but there isn't, because the question is inherently subjective.

Oh man. Better late than never. And now you have a huuuuge amount of content to go thru. I'm actually kind of jelous. Between the 2 channels theres tons. And on one of his TND videos (the response to the Fader article) he linked a ton of unlisted videos from his long gone channel, thatistheplan. You have such a good time ahead of you. And your Spotify will grow 100000x over and you'll be a better person for it. Have a blast dude.

If any Kid Cudi album is underrated, It’s Satellite Flight.
I second this
EpicJake35 idk man half of it’s like instrumentals and rest is just ok imo
Aryansh Chauhan true still great though
Hell Yeah
I thought it was j strange. Kinda good but mostly strange
The Mollusk by Ween (the guys that did Ocean Man), that album is fantastic but it doesn’t get talked about nearly as much as it deserves
Anyone who doesn't know Weens catalogue front to back has a huge hole in their game
True
Quebec as well. Ween’s catalog is great overall, but those two are definitely a step above the others.
@@jacobneylon647chocolate and cheese??
@@bert7109 Great album but not their best work
Humbug by Arctic monkeys is my favourite of theirs and I think criminally underrated for me. The musicianship, trippy concepts and as a drummer. The best drumming from them.
The New CALassic is a criminally underrated mixtape and should’ve gone at least triple platinum
Ya agree 💯

At least
Everybody knows Abbey Road Anthony, stop calling it underrated

@@x99ribs hmmmmm nah
Electric Light Orchestra’s Discovery was pretty much universally panned by critics at the time and I think a lot of people think it’s cheesy but I love every single track. It is also a huge influence on Daft Punk.
thanks for introducing me to Mos Def! I used to only really listen to modern hip hop music, but you've introduced me to tons of old-school rappers, so now I listen to a mix of 80's, 90's, 00's, 10's, and 20's
We all know that the most underrated album is Neutral Milk Hotel's "To Pimp A Butterfly"
I still think they were better on Wish You Were Here.
Neutral Lamar “To Milk A Butterfly”
Kendrick Milk, "Lamar the Butterfly"
NOBODY that really knows hip hop underrates The Mighty Mos Def.
He doesn’t get top 10 status for most people. I never see him up there with Nas Big Pac Em Jay even 3 stacks.
@@mrtesticles889 Because he only has 1 great solo album, and one great collab album. IMO Biggie has more great tracks then Mos, and Biggie died at 24. If Mos died at 24 no one would know who he is, outside of maybe Blackstar and a couple of lyricist lounge tracks.
Having said that I would definitely put him over Em, and probably over 3 Stacks, because 3 Stacks doesn't have a solo album, unless you count the love below, but that isn't a rap/hip hop album, he only raps on like 3 songs from it.
3lancer Officialmaybe The Ecstatic is a great album as well
Totally agree
Wish he did more though.
I'm just gonna have to mention my favorite album of all time here: Honeysuckle Strange by Howlin' Maggie. It got some critical attention for a very short while after its release in 1996, and a few of the tracks got some indie and alt-rock radio play, but its themes of self-destructive behavior, industry bullshit, frustration, and mental health are well-executed and eternal. If you are reading this, there is a chance you have possibly heard either "Alcohol" or "I'm a Slut", but I'd implore anyone with even a passing interest in 90's alt-rock to give the album a full listen as it is a masterclass in cohesion of the seemingly disparate elements of grit and haunting.
Red Medicine by Fugazi definitely seems to get less love for an inexplicable reason. One of their best in my opinion.
Absolute masterpiece, definitely my favorite from them
it seems like it hurts Melon to even day "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy"
That album is not underrated.
Max Smart who said it was?
@@diegoflores8764 it seems like jack was inplying that.
Max Smart not really bud
Max Smart i never said or implied that it was underrated
Big problem with Ye is that almost immediately after it dropped he released Kids See Ghosts so a lot of they hype went that way instead (and Deservedly so)
*Undeservedly
Nah they both around the same in rate
I think both projects are very good however I prefer ye personally tho it's really neck and neck
Yeah, I was guilty of that too. Also the Pusha T one before was epic too so he kinda lost his own project in the shuffle. That who producing binge he went on was epic though. Ye sounds like a great album to me now and Daytona and Kids See Ghosts were straight up classic.
@@DumbBaby daytona isn't a classic, ksg is though
Black On Both Sides is imo one of the few flawless hip hop albums. As someone who is most familiar with hip hop and not other genres, this was a gap in my 90s knowledge and holy is this thing amazing. I think I could name maybe 10-15 flawless hip hop albums and this would be one. Genius album
which albums would you call flawless?
@@joeyterheide5426 MBDTF (I hate giving Kanye praise rn but this is a perfect album imo and one of the only ones), Atrocity Exhibition, TPAB, Madvillainy, IGOR, Yeezus, GKMC, Piñata, Aquemini, The Blueprint, Illmatic, and The Forever Story (if it ages well, so far it has). The only ones that are a 10 or near 10
@@coastercraziness respect for including piñata
@@franchise5527 Freddie and Madlib are one of my all time favorite duos
@@coastercraziness I already strongly disagreed with MBDTF but calling Yeezus a perfect album is insane to me.
I always thought that Neurosis as a metal band have always been underrated. I feel like their songs and albums deserve millions and millions of listeners but they don’t. Their album Through Silver in Blood is a real classic. One of the heaviest and darkest albums ever and I think, one of the best metal albums of all time. A lot of people love them, but I still think they deserve more recognition in the metal scene as they basically created post-metal single handedly
Through Silver In Blood is probably my favorite metal album period
The takes be sounding like that Huey Lewis American Psycho scene

I would love to see this series broken down into genres. There’s a big opportunity for everyone to listen to some new music

Fantano crying over Pink Floyd? I’m in.
rip this comment
Roger Waters tear is the best
He wrote it down but then David Gilmour's guitar solos made him weep all over it and it washed away, forever to be unknown. Truly a tear list 😔
😢
Avantdale Bowling Club's self-titled debut may be some of the best live tonal jazz instrumentation to ever grace a hip hop project. Sharpest Tool in the Shed by Bambu seemed to fly under the radar for even a lot of his own fans considering it has some of the harded bars and beats ever dropped by any Filipino mc. And idek where to start on Gist Is by Adult Jazz
So happy you finally talked about Fishmans. Their version of “In the Air” on that live album is my favorite song of all time, just absolutely astonishing
The whole thing is probably the beast live album ever made
He's only 10 years or something late to the party lol
they're not underrated whatsoever tho
Yes! In the Air (live) is the greatest song I've ever heard also. The second half of the track that starts midway through the violin solo is absolutely cosmic, Shinji's vocals get me every time.
I had to click on this video once I saw that 98.12.28 cover
Seeing somebody with this level of influence talking about Fishmans makes me incredibly happy. Over the last year or so I've become a bit of a fanatic and nobody who I've ever discussed music with has even heard of them. They've definitely got some of the most underrated albums out there
Adam Flynn same, i actually found out about them quite a while ago but only listened to some songs but i recently decided to listen to their albums and im hooked,, i wondered if tnd did do a video about them so im happy he did talk about them, and yea they’re a pretty underrated band
Ye same, like obviously I wish he appreciated it like the rest of us who have discovered Fishmans, but at least he recognized them because yeah they deserve so much more
Friend showed me them last week and I'm also hooked. Really dig King Master George
Aren't they like the top rated on rym? Also, deep cuts has a video on them
@@featherycoffee1401 Their live album is #17 on RYM for best albums of all time. Like fantano said - overrated on RYM and underrated everywhere else
Sparklehorse in general is underrated, but I’d love to give some shine to their debut Vivadixiesubmarinetransmissionplot (1995).
It’s a versatile, emotionally potent, lo-fi masterpiece.
Good Morning Spider and even his last album with Danger Mouse go super overlooked. One of the most underrated artists ever really.
Cruel Melody by Black Light Burns I feel is really underrated. I feel like most people have no idea about Wes Borland's side projects and he definitely is one of the most underrated guitarist out there. Such a great rock album and I really wish they would release some new music soon. I'm pretty sure whatever they're working on they have Travis Barker on the drums for so I really wanna hear that shit
Let’s argue: Melon kinda looks like light skinned bald juice wrld
Let’s agree*
Wait Anthony’s White?
Fantano is birracial
It’s his friendly face
Very intriguing, valid observation king. However, in my humble opinion, he looks more like a Thicc Moby.
I've never in my life heard someone speak ill of Black on Both Sides.
Your Name Here on god
Your Name Here I haven’t gotten to that point in the video but I can’t trust someone’s music taste if they dislike BOBS. Every song on it is great.
my friend made fun of me for liking "Mr. Nigga" but fuck that guy he likes lil peep
@@Rohit-jv7nl cmon why u hadda drag peep into this
Yeah right. Now the Ecstatic, maybe.
Yasiin Bey aka Mo's Def definitely deserves MORE flowers while he's still with us. I do wish he'd make more hip-hop even if it was independentally. Purpose? I'd say to educate the youth. But he seems pretty far gone from music nowadays. I get it. He was never gonna play the industry game in the long run but you can do your own thing independentally and fans will always support. Another Black Star album would be insane if that ever happened.
Deceit by This Heat: it's noisy and abrasive as hell but as a soundtrack for nuclear armageddon (and any other sort of armageddon) it really works. SPQR, Cenotaph, and New Kind of Water all are awesome in very different way.
Critics love that record. So not underrated.
Part of me wants to have your centrist and reasonable take on Fishmans, and I definitely think overhyping is in itself a problem. But damn, this band is probably the only time I've ever legitimately agreed with any music circle's niche obsession. No other band gives me such a life affirming feeling.
Tom Williams it’s really hard to think of a song with a climax as great as the one from the live version of long season
@@rashotcake6945 For sure. In the Air is my personal favourite cut from the album, but just the scope of Long Season alone is insane. The way they reinvented it on the live album is so bloody impressive.
I know right! Even though I personally love the more reggae tinged tracks of their career, the psychedelic ones are king. Songs like Long Season, Nightcrusing, Oh Slime, 幸せ者,
なんてったの, and In the Air hit me on an almost spiritual level.
cant believe MBDTF is underrated
If anything it’s overrated
If anything it's a 10
If anything, it’s mundane.
Albert Garcia If there are skips, then it’s not a 10
I mean you're kinda right, I do think that Who Will Survive in America and that Chris Rock feature was lacking some punchlines, so I'm feeling a light to decent 6 TRAN-
Melon needs to review fishmans
3:03 AGREED.
THERE WAS A TIME
in particularly is in their top 5 songs written at ANY era.
The guy with the Weezer take has likely been in a coma since 1996. Literally no one thinks Pinkerton is underrated.
also why do i feel like every time Melon does a let's argue some idiot throws in their stale Weezer takes. There's other goddman music out there!
I was just going to comment the exact same thing! It the only reason they could think this!!
weezer fans are worse than tool fans
Jacob Parsons Thats a stretch man. Tools fans are something else sometimes.
Yeah I agree. Pinkerton is my favourite album of all time, and even I agree it's far from underrated
Anthony, I didn't think you were going to rate my family's 2005 holiday party photo album as the most underrated album of all time. But honestly I'm flattered. You can definitely come thru this year bro, HMU if you're in the area!
Cardiacs Sing To God is one of the best and most underrated albums of all time, Odd Even, nurses whispering verses and Dog like sparky are great tunes in there, although all of them kinda are
Cardiacs are the most underrated band ever. One of the best and know one knows who they are.
Jellyfish Spilt Milk is the most overlooked, underrated pop record of all time. It deserves a full review, by you. A band that imploded before they had a chance. This album needs some love.
Let's Argue: Melon should do a classic review of 'Long Season' next year
JDPG 13 I... agree
nice pfp. fucking love gameun deut
JDPG 13 yes yes yes
Either that or the live album. One of those two.
JDPG 13 98.12.28 would be a great choice too
Morphine’s entire discography is criminally underrated when compared to the rising stars and one-hit wonders of the early 90s.
You're speakin' my language.
Honestly the live performances of KDots Untitled are just so much better. Before TPAB and Kendrick was doing one off full band performances of these rap/jazz/beat nick stuff, I was so hyped just to see him dip his toes into that. Untitled on the old Colbert Report is just so amazing. I love that it exists as it does, and it’s awesome for someone like Kendrick to have tapped into that. Hope we get something like that again
0:11 I thought Radiohead- Planet Telex was going to start
I looked for this comment
You can force it but it will not form
i didn’t expect miley cyrus and her dead petz to be on here and you agreeing on it being underrated but i understand
The silent hill 2 OST is incredibly underrated. One of the best ambient records and videogame soundtracks of all time
Kreek Kid Productions I bought a limited pressing of the first games ost and while I enjoy it. I wish I could get my hands on silent hill 2 ost even if only for that beautiful piano (I think it’s the theme)
Check out Jakey’s vid on Silent Hill 2. He gives it due credit 👌
Cole? Haha i’ve seen it, Nakeyjakey is the best man
I would add the "Beyond Good and evil" soundtracks to the list of underappreciated videogame OSTs
Ilenia Yessssss
It was a mixtape, but Young L's As I Float is still incredibly underrated to me even tho it got some love at time. Perfectly curated, beautiful beats that really perfected that cloud rap vibe and simple but meaningful bars. Very underrated artist in general, super unique and naturally artful. Crazy that both him and Lil B started off in the Pack
I'll add one that doesn't get talked about enough: Electric Circus by Common
It was dismissed upon release because people just weren't ready for that type of sonic experimentation in Hip Hop in the 21st century - even though people praised Andre 3k for doing the same thing on The Love Below only a year later (smh). Same thing Kanye did all of last decade (from Yeezus to TLOP) was what Common and Dilla were doing with that album. Yes, it lead to his Magnus Opus (Be), but it's a shame he never made another album like it, considering that sound is all the rage now.
Kid Cudi's "Passion Pain & Demon Slayin'" is severely underrated
Surfin is so fire
Fax. It’s like a 7/10
If he called it MOTM3 it would have blown up. Definitely fits the MOTM vibes
Definitely, I think cudi all around is very underrated, I don’t feel that he ever got the cred/ rep he really deserved. I also feel that Kanye could’ve been a better friend to him which I feel is also kinda why he isn’t as popular, he’s big on Spotify now because of Travis Scott which I’m not happy about but I hope it leads people to see that he really is a great artist. ( note I’m not mad that he’s big on Spotify I’m mad cause Travis Scott blew him up and travis is not good
Kid Cudi's - The Journey to Mother Moon
I just got into fishmans like a few weeks ago!! They should be more popular in the West
I think some of hella's early live stuff is just mind blowing. Throwing Primus, Squarepusher and a Smiths like sound in the mix just puts his later works into perspective.
Personally prefer Mesh and Lace to Unknown Pleasures. Love it's very gritty and experimental tone to it and I feel it's much more consistent than Unknown Pleasures. But I really love both a lot.
Yeeeeeee Fishmans made it to the channel. Anyway, i was like Fantano and dismissed the reggae tracks at first but the more i listened to the album (aswell as hearing their other stuff that wasn’t Long Season or Uchu Nippon Setagaya) the more the reggae or rather dub tracks started growing on me hard. There is something about the playfulness of songs like Thank You or Hikouki that just gets me going.
But overall tho, i am one of those people who think 98.12.28 is the best live album of all time. Not only for it being the last performance by Fishmans but also because every song just hits a chord with you. Whether it be the dreamy tracks like Night Cruising and In the Flight or the more expansive epics like Yurameki in the Air and Long Season. This album will always hold a special place in my heart and seeing it get more recognition outside of RYM and /mu/ makes me very happy.
Sorry if i was overdoing it with the gushing. I’m just so in love with this album.
I guess I can say that I love this album too.
I found Long Season to be pretty average to be honest.
98.12.28(live) is the best album of all time imo
it's a titanic masterpiece. i think every human being should hear yurameki in the air...
can someone tell ne what /mu/ is? I've seen it a lot but still don't know what it is
For anyone wondering what Melon was singing at the Patreon section, the track is Kiss Me, Son of God by They Might Be Giants.
Thanks a lot
Was really surprised when i heard him singing TMBG
I'm surprised that he's only reviewed them once.
@@joseferrada4999 in RYM he gave Lincon a 10/10, wich I disagree because is perfect/10
Him singing that was/is the Most Underrated Album of All Time
The most obscure and yet imo underrated album I’ve listened to in a while is Mariposa by Felly. Almost every track I enjoy and can pull things from. It’s got good themes and sounds. It’s not perfect but for what it is I think it’s severely underrated and I never see people even so much as mention it.
I remember someone saying they skipped your bass intro and that makes me sad bc I love it every time
Let’s agree: Anthony looks like he’s auditioning to be Joe Exotic’s next husband
Nah too many teeth
If Fishmans had songs on that live album that were just straight up reggae, I’d understand finding it unimpressive. But all of the reggae influenced songs on that album have been put through a psychedelic, progressive dreamy filter and that’s what makes them stand out and interesting
Even "Airplane", the straight up unfiltered rocksteady song on the album is a banger!
It isn't even accurate to call it reggae either. It's dub music
@@PaulRobinsonOk Dub is rooted in reggae, and several of the tracks on the album are, by definition, reggae, or at least reggae fusion, with melodic lead bass, accented rim shot beats and one drop rhythms, and skanking rhythm guitar on the upbeats. I dont think the fact that there is a decent amount of it on the album really hurts it at all either. Fishmans, in my opinion, were the best non Jamaican reggae practitioners. They had a very idiosyncratic, experimental, and uniquely Japanese take on it.
I honestly think Anthony has really boring taste and of course he wouldn’t find their dub influenced songs appealing.
I didn't even realize its influenced by reggae when I listened to that album every night haha
Personally I have a feeling that the whole Lake of Tears discography is underrated and somewhat overlooked, but their original send-off album The Neonai is overlooked even in the community. Recorded as a final album in the contract termination deal with their then label, Black Mark, it was basically recorded by frontman Daniel Brennare alone, with the help of synths and drum machines. The result was a trippy, somber, sometimes heavy, but mostly incredibly emotional adventure through a sugar coated, decaying fantasy land. As much as I love A Crimson Cosmos, it is well received and even relatively well known.
Another album I could consider underrated is Swans' The Burning World. Fans of the band are quick to give it flak for ditching industrial elements and the noise, saying that it doesn't sound like Swans and so on and so forth… But. The hypnotic nature of their music is still very much there (the strings on Let It Come Down are mesmerizing, yet no one, NO ONE talks about that track), this, in my opinion, is the album Gira found his voice on, and I will stand on the position that, without The Burning World, we wouldn't get The Great Annihilator, Soundtracks for the Blind, Seer, and so on. Plus, it's an even better introducing to Swans than The Great Annihilator; I would know because I got introduced to Swans through it, and it showed me that there's more to them than just abrasive, violent, no holds barred noise rock they're known on certain places on the internet for.
Deadringer was definitely the thing I was thinking about as well and would probably have dropped myself. It's the only one I can think of that I really really like and isn't as known among people I talk to as I wish it were. It may be my lack of experience in the rap/hip hop field in general, but I find it an invigorating listen every time. It's either that or Roger Glover's massive joint-project rock opera "The Butterfly Ball and the Grasshopper's Feast", but truth be told, I have no idea what kind of reputation that one has. It was just something I borrowed from a library once and has been one of my absolute favorites for years now.
Other than that, while I definitely have albums I like alot that either get ignored or dissed, none of them I can really argue are underrated, because they deserve some if not all they get in those case.
I like Dio's "Lock Up the Wolves" quite alot, but if I were to loan an album for someone to get into the band, this is not the one I'm picking.
I actually really dig Black Sabbath's "Born Again" for it's trashy aesthetic, but trashy is precisely the word and isn't really something I can safely recommend.
I wish people talked more about "Carolina County Ball" by Elf, but as far as Ronnie James' career is concerned, Elf isn't even close to his most noteworthy stuff.
FIREPOWER by Judas Priest has some of Priest's best chops to date, but I feel like that is widely acknowledged by the people this information is relevant to in this post "death of rock/metal" era.
Mos Def's "The Ecstatic" is also such an amazing album. Especially the track "Auditorium". A real legend of Hip-Hop.
I just discovered the album and I was looking for ANYONE talking about it. What a masterpiece man. Lisstening ot Revelationss as I type this
Criminally underrated album: The Cure - Seventeen Seconds
Joey Depp That's true, people go nuts for 'Pornography' or even 'Faith' but 'Seventeen Seconds' has a lovely, dark, homespun feel to it that really deserves more attention.
At Night is da fuckin' bomb, son!
this is so valid
Ohhh good call.
True!
Artist Nadine…album is Downtown Saturday. Absolutely love that album from start to finish. Also Back to my Senses. Hard to even find any info on the band on the web. Definitely recommend to check out.
Sybyr (FKA Syringe) - Hellhorse is a criminally overlooked record and an inimitable blueprint for the evolution of hip hop
Blu & Exile - Below The Heavens: most underrated rap album of all time.
correct
I... Agree
Yes and no. It isn't known in the mainstream and therefore is underrated as it isn't widely known, but to the heads it is heralded as one of the greatest hip hop releases period.
@productfromthe00s tyhat album is nuts. just heard it alst week and coudlnt stop listening...so weird yet so good
People need to know about it, it is mastercraft
Ka - Honor Killed The Samurai is easily one of if not the most underrated album of all time.
The5Head Agreed, love that album
I kind of feel like Orpheus vs The Sirens is slightly better but ka is super underrated considering how beautiful and consistent his discography is.
Also he's a fire chief and thats cool as fuck.
The5Head it’s not really underrated, most people love it, it’s just that not that many people have heard it
Bet no one knows/ remembers this but,
Blue Scholars’ 2004 album: The Blue Scholars
It’s one of the most consistent, unique, meaningful, and impressive albums I’ve heard. It’s got vibe and enthusiasm for both people. Deserves more recognition
*One of the most underrated albums of all time, has to be, Pete Rock's - INI : Center of Attention.*
Never thought I'd see melon talk about Fishmans.
Hey Anthony, just waiting to hear back from you about your request to join our D&D campaign. I think your character, Richard Strongshorts the Barbarian, would be a great addition to our party! Love to hear back from you.
Thanks
As much as people loved to hate Limp Bizkit, their debut album is insane and immensely underrated. The riffs by Wes Borland, the funky basslines of a then teen Sam Rivers along with his cousin John Otto with some tight drumming. Sam & John studied jazz in college and you can really tell, the groove, tightness and allround instrumental prowess is really something most people haven't discovered since they hate the band solely because of Fred Durst and the fact that they've only heard Rollin' and Nookie.
man that album had some really solid tracks
Counterfeit, the trio of Sour/Stalemate/Clunk
I will admit some moments of it have not aged gracefully (need I bring up the cover of George Michael's Faith?) but it's got some highlights for sure. Nowhere near as bad as it gets a reputation for being.
Love a good dead genre bargain bin rake. Hedpe 1997 8/10 incubus 1999 8/10 Taproot 2005 8/10 vanilla ice 2002 lol 7/10
Atom Heart Mother (and More, for that matter) is always written off as just 60's psych Floyd, too reminiscent of Saucerful of Secrets, but there are some really groundbreaking tracks on that album that I see correlate to Pink Floyd's heyday; they employ Rick Wright's vocals on "Summer '68" (which they went on to do on the also criminally underrated Obscured by Clouds and on the famous "Time"), Gilmour shows his psychedelic guitar chops on "Fat Old Sun" and "If" (the same guitar heard on "Money" and "Sheep," for example), and they can make epic swaths of sound (the title suite and "Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast" definitely played a role in the band's progression to "Echoes" and then DSOTM). Everyone says Meddle is the "turning point" for the band, but I think it was Atom Heart Mother.
