Dropouts
by Luigii

Well, I have done it. I have finished my revisits for my greatest chart. That list will get a massive update real soon due to having a set list ordered out by hand. Though it did come with a bit of a predicament where I don't have 100 albums that I would guarantee a 100/100. It's at least 92 albums. So this list will be dedicated to albums that I thought were "perfect" until they somewhat shrunk on me. And who knows, whenever I decide to do something like this, I'll revisit these albums for a redemption to see if these belong on the list or in the long run can get a 10.

Also whenever I get the opportunity, I'll give a short synopsis why these albums fell out of favor.

This album gets a huge disclaimer where even though the grade is staying as a 100, I didn't have the whole album available where it can get its revisit. So as of now, this album is disqualified unless the album comes back onto YouTube or available on I Tunes. [First added to this chart: 10/01/2020]

Probably the biggest upset for me. Maybe this still likely a 100 in retrospect. It definite keeps a vibe and ushered the modern Uk Garage album that was appearing during the 2010's. But I feel there where other records that kept this lush vibe or felt one of those erotic albums. Former would be Vocalcity. And the latter would be Vocalcity but also Draft 7.30 sounds oddly erotic. And for the UK Garage sound, I felt Caracal was better. And some newcomers might be shitting themselves for a statement like that, but it's true. Still a high recommendation.

This is one of those records where while I have lost a bit of luster, I wouldn't be shocked if this came back with a vengeance for me. I enjoy the majority of this album as well as find this quite creative for 1999. As well as even if this didn't climb back up from its hole, it would be a high contender for its year end and an honorable mention for the 1990's. A 95 but a pretty high 95.

This might still be a 10. I just have a sinking suspicion that there are better city pop albums. [First added to this chart: 10/01/2020]

I'm glad I gave the type ups a bit of a break due to getting to listen to new albums. I would say if I was combing through 1995, Larry Heard had a better album that had that particular retro feel but still feels more timeless than this. But both albums would at least be a 95.

This might still be a 100. Tracks like Technopolis, Rydeen, Castalia and Behind The Mask would be 10/10 tracks. Especially the latter two. And for being over 40 years old, this still sounds cutting edge. I think the issue for me would be tracks like Day Tripper and Insomnia sound a little hokey due to the vocals on those tracks feeling a little off. But this is still one of the best albums of 1979. And if you haven't listen to it, give it an opportunity. You might enjoy it. Even if your not a big electronic fan. [First added to this chart: 10/01/2020]
