    ugh, battle of the mediocre albums by major artists

    well, views is clearly the worst one in my book. i mean a few of the songs were good, but its very underwhelming and too long

    so that leaves TLOP and Compton. i'll reluctantly pick TLOP. its not kanyes best work, but it still had some good songs throughout.

    dre's album isn't bad, especially considering how old he was when it was crafted, but i can't help but to think how much better the prior 2 albums are compared to compton

    @WPG did u see what he just called us :emoji_blush:

    Compton is a very solid album, but I can't say it has a lot of replay value. It lacks the innovation of previous Dre efforts, but it's honestly far better than what I expected from a 2015 Dre album. Kendrick and Anderson thank u for killing it

    Dre is actually known for his melodies, but on this album the beats are very generic...

    I agree individual tracks having more replay value than the whole album (Darkside/Animals etc).

    And yeah still waiting for a follow up to the WTT review you 2 did it was epic.

    All 3 are mediocre albums. Tlop is the best out of the 3.

    good man, how are you? yeah, I've mostly been lurking in the past while...I should post more.

    anyway, I feel it's Compton > TLOP > Views

    I was really really surprised by how good Compton was. The only song I don't like is the one with Eminem. TLOP is a good album, but I can't help but feel a little disappointed. Many of the tracks feel unfinished, and lyrically, I think it's Kanye's weakest album. I also feel the album doesn't even have enough verses by Kanye. I dunno, maybe I'll change my mind when I see Kanye perform songs from it at the upcoming concert.

    Love it or hate it, Views joins the likes of NellyVille, Graduation, and C3, albums that got mixed feelings from hip-hop fans but were widely loved by the general population. Views is still breaking records because of how good it is

    Side question: which album had the highest highs and the lowest lows?
