What is your standard for a good album?

[Sdm]

I rarely like all or even most songs on an album. So if half or more than half of an album is to my taste then I consider it to be good. Idc much about cohesiveness or concepts either.

[coreofsoul]

I have to like at least 70-75% of an album's songs for me to consider it a good album

[Velveteer]

i rarely like all songs on an album, either, so if i like 75 percent of one then i consider it to be good. i also take cohesiveness and song order into account though; otherwise they’d just be good songs to me individually rather than a good album

[Ðœimi]

when i like more than half of the songs

or when it's half but the songs are just TOO GOOD

[WinnerWinnerChickenDinner]

when the album has a theme but the songs don't have the exact same vibe. i like it when the songs are connected in a way but the songs have different sounds. like Hixtape i guess 

[ANBU]

Songs has to have their own color. Doesnt sound repetitive, never the same, spectacular, brilliant, intelligent

Yeah I agree with this. The half that is good has to be really good with stand out tracks. In fact I prefer this to albums that are consistent in quality but nothing very special.

[pikkuromana]

Ideally, more than half of the songs should be high quality, and there should be a stylistic and conceptual cohesion without the songs ending up sounding too similar to each other when played back to back. But nowadays with everything moving to digital, a sense of cohesion and a unifying concept within one album isn't nearly as important as before when people listened to LPs/casettes/CDs, so generally speaking as long as 2/3 or more of the songs contained are good to great it should be considered a good album. Or, there can be one or two songs that really stand out as an all-time-fave and the other songs are all good even if some are not to my taste, then it's still a good album.

when i like half or more of the songs. and by like i mean that i could listen to those songs individually on repeat, not just that they are good enough i don't skip them 

i prefer when the album doesn't have a similar sound throughout. just trying to listen to those types of albums in full the first time makes all the songs blend together so i end up put off

[amal.ha]

To consider it good I have to not skip any songs if it's a mini or at most 1 or 2 if it's a full album

[bronx.]

well i know some really excellent albums, so standard for a good album is quite high for me. i need to like, as someone said, at least about 70 percent of it.
but if im really into that music style and if i really really like couple tracks, i would consider it as a good album. 

[Wonderwall]

Liking 75% of the songs is a pretty good metric. I also have to enjoy the album after taking a break from it. There's definitely been a few albums that I was obsessed with at the beginning, but then after taking a break and coming back to it, I didn't like it nearly as much. Also, a few true standout tracks can skew my opinion of the album into thinking it's better, even if I don't like half of the songs. 

[Iceprince]

A good album is the album that i can play it again and again without getting bored

[Minatosexy Sana]

80% of the songs is good.

 

The order of the songs in the album is a factor as well. With a good opening song for hype and ending song for finishing the album.

[whoo]

Depends on the genre.

 

Like obviously I wouldn’t impose the same standards I have for björk to, say for example, snsd. They are two completely different artists, with their respective musical backgrounds.

 

For K-pop, generally I tend to consider albums “good†when they have a clear, cohesive musical concept executed well within or outside expectation. That’s why Pink Tape and Modern Times are some of my favorite k-pop albums.

diversity of genres and topic of songs that being delivered by solid and variety of vocal and rap style.
