Like I tell everyone, just because you like something, doesn't mean you don't see the flaws in it. It's objectivity while still remaining the ability to think uniquely, which is why I like the album, even though I'd rate it low. It has lots of cliche parts; weird, hackneyed repetition, shit lyrics, but it also has good qualities that make it enjoyable. I try to understand what I like and have an objective view, just so I remain open to everything.

Quote from Nobody In Particular

Top 4 would have to be…

1. Pink Floyd - Dark Side of The Moon 10/10
2. Godspeed You! Black Emperor - F♯A♯∞ 10/10
3. Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven (i just really really love this band okay) 9/10
4. Boards of Canada - Music Has The Right to Children 8.5/10

I'd touch you tbh <3 :)

I mean I understand liking something despite it's flaws, but that's an entirely different subject, saying something that you can give a 6/10 is one of your favorite albums of all time goes quite a bit further than "even though this isn't very good I like it"
Music doesn't have a definite scale where you could come up with these scores, saying it's a 6/10 means that you yourself don't think very highly of the music, and that's why I don't quite understand how it can be one of your favorites

It isn't music, but Christopher Titus 5th Annual End Of The World Tour has brought me to tears before.

If it's just music though, I found Starset: Transmissions to be pretty incredible. It flows really well from song to song and has an overreaching space theme through actual transmissions at the end of some songs. I liked the whole thing, but Halo and It has Begun where my personal favorites. If you've heard something by them though, it was probably either My Demons, Carnivore, or Telescope.

Oh shoot, 7 minimum.

Alright, I'll throw in Broken Iris: The Eyes of Tomorrow
All the Right Moves: When Your Compass Breaks
Otherwise: Peace at All Costs
Three Days Great: Transit of Venice
Skillet: Rise
And if comedy ones don't count, Sick Puppies: Connect is pretty good too

I think he's trying to say it's like someone whose favorite restaurant is Mcdonalds, they realize it's not the best by any means but they still enjoy it for what it is.

so I guess the 6/10 was his rating of its objective quality, not how much he enjoys it. I have no idea why he'd do it that way but it's probably the reason you're confused.
