Damn, that's a lot of 10's.

To me, a 10 means PERFECT. Or as perfect as an album can possibly get. Hmm..

well to me they're perfect. but then again i think A LOT of albums are perfect.

I rated them harsher than I did last time, I've been listening to amazing music recently, and it just seems to make SY's music pale in comparison.

i don't like RR too but Pink Steam is one my favourite songs that i've ever heard in my life.

Same here. I don't like getting too anal with rating music. If an album's positives far outweigh the negatives, I have no problem awarding it a ten.

Like...I'm not going to deny Revolver is a fucking great album because of Yellow Submarine.

doh!

You're not alone. I was really disappointed when this first came out, and it's my least played SY record.

It's only since posting on here that I became aware of its "classic" status.

Why do it the simple way when you can do it the mathy way? huh?

indeed, who doesn´t like a good mathematical challenge before the weekend?

maybe I should fix it, so people don´t have to go looking for their calculators

ha ha

I honestly cannot rate any of their albums under a 7. While I do favor some over others, I find them all to be good in their own way.

yes but isnt the thread about rating their albums in their own universe? liek there wouldnt exist anything else, hrhrhr

I think that's a good mindset to have for this thread. Otherwise we'd be comparing Daydream Nation to Pablo Honey and hence be rating DDN 100/10
