Taylor Swift - folklore (July 24, 2020) Album • Page 99

Weezer's Hurley is the best 8th album by a band ever

 

Sonofabitch, how didn't I think about Rain Dogs? That might take the pole position.

 

Real ones know the greatest 8th album is St. Anger.

 

I'm gonna buy that lol

 

It's just unbelievable that Aaron sent the song at 9 and received a full demo 5 hours later... unreal

 

I woke up at 5am this morning, saw the email about the single, and immediately bought it. Didn't even think about it, haha.

 

Strong number 8's?

• Built to Spill - You in Reverse
• My Morning Jacket - Waterfall
• Spoon - They Want My Soul

Weak number 8's?

• Death Cab for Cutie - Codes & Keys
• Portugal. The Man - Evil Urges
• Sufjan Stevens...I just couldn't figure out how to count his stuff, haha
• Wilco - Star Wars?

 

Star Wars is not a weak album

 

codes and keys or integrity blues gets my vote for 8th album, unless we are counting andrew mcmahons entire discography, in which case upside down flowers is up there too.

i think what i've really learned in this exercise is how few bands even make it to 8 albums. i know that's a lot of albums and essentially means 15+ years at it, but i still expected more options to choose from. if only northstar had lasted this long... *sigh*

def not their best album, but still really strong overall for me.

 

go slander mike judge some more

 

it's my favorite springsteen, thanks for playing

 

you dropped this crown, king

 

how does it feel to show your bare ass online and not make a single cent off of it?

 

It's been gratifying to me in the last decade or so to witness a serious broadening of support for that album. Peoples' prejudices against 80s production have always irrationaly hampered its reputation.

 

this is exceptional. thank you.

 

Lot of men being discussed here, lol. If y’all have not acquainted yourselves with The Cardigans’ album “Long Gone Before Daylight,” please do so immediately.

 

Probably unfair to call it a weak album as their 8th, but I thought Jimmy Eat World were done after Damage. Integrity Blues by comparison felt like a rebirth

 

you're right, @personalmaps, that's messed up.

sleater kinney - no cities to love
joni - hejira
Bjork - vulnicura

all great. it's an unfortunate side effect of misogyny that most women aren't given the leeway to have a career long enough for 8 albums that men with half the talent are

 

there are also some right on the cusp. I'm sure annie clark's next one will be great. same with laura marling.

 

I would have loved to list Sharon Van Etten's current record, but it's #7

 

Britney Jean is #8 @Kiana here is your time to shine

 

So many artists I kept checking were on albums 6 and 7.

except Cher and Dolly Parton.

 

right, and then there are plenty who have dozens, like aretha, but 8 is before they really got going or past the peak
