I'm pretty certain that the album will be getting a spot on those Rolling Stone best albums lists.

It's a 4.00 on RYM now. Wonder how far it'll rise.

Jean Genie, Major Tom, Satellite of Love, Ziggy... that's four Bowie references in one song.

If that. There hasn't been a single album from the 2010's on RYM that's kept a 4.00 average unless you count live albums which don't get as many ratings.

Let's not infect this thread with Def Leppard, it's disrespectful.

Sort of implies that the only way an album gets a 4 or above is through rose-colored nostalgia goggles

But probably also because fanbases aren't as big and monolithic nowadays, since music is much more diversified.
