"Spinoff: Albums that met or surpassed your high expectations"
Thu Oct-26-17 05:59 PM by Anonymous

  

          

In the LWFC vs BOBS poll we had a quick convo about how those projects were both highly anticipated and ended up either meeting or surpassing those high expectations.

Expectations can kill an album if they don’t stand up. A good/very good album can be seen as wack if they don’t meet those expectations.

On the flip side, an album that meets and even surpasses high expectations can be lifted into the all-time great stratosphere.

What albums met and surpassed your “high” expectations.

And I put “high” in quotes because I’m not talking about albums that you really didn’t expect much from. For example, I’m banging this Dilated Peoples - Director of Photography and this shit is dope as fuck...however I wasn’t expecting much from it. At the same time, maybe that boosts its status for me too. Maybe that could be another post.

GO!
