Like all other Radiohead albums, it just takes time.

That's the thing. It's not "done right".

there are plenty of bands that pull it off well. maybe you arent aware of them or maybe you just dont like them. but that doesnt mean it isnt done well.

I think Pinkerton and In Reverie are perfect examples of being poorly received. Their reception also caused both songwriters (Rives Cuomo and Chris Conley respectively) to kind of step back and re-evaluate everything.

lotta hate towards Death Grips' The Money Store when it came out, I can see it being pretty significant in the future
I think T-Swift's Red will be looked at under a much nicer light, too (or at least should)

uhhh those are the only ones I can think of from last year

You're implying that T Swifts new album hasn't been praised by everyone? It's all over the radio, and I'm not denying I like a song or two.

Scary Kids Scarring Kids first CD was absolutely BLASTED by critics (think it got a 1 in Alternative Press) but I feel it became a relatively well-liked album within the scene since.

That compelled me to listen to My Darkest Hour again for the first time in like 5 years. Still good.

I think that Guilt Show by the Get Up Kids was pretty poorly received when it was released... Not sure if it's ever really gotten the recognition that it deserves, but I'll stand behind it.

I can't say I see a lot of merit in a lot of these answers, so far. And a couple of them are sort of inaccurate in the sense that we're already at a point where the album's are classics, meaning there is no speculation involved (Pinkerton, In the Aeroplane Over the Sea), or the album was just really highly praised when it came out (Brand New).

That being said, the best response so far has been Sam's Town. But that being said, I'm not trying to bash anyone's selections; just trying to add some input, because I can't really think of anything myself. This is a pretty tough topic. Closest thing I can think of is the last Hot Water Music album, which seemed to divide a lot of their base fans when it was released but I don't see nearly as much criticism when it's discussed now.

I brought up Pinkerton in response to the original question in the thread.
