I think plenty of 'good' albums lack talent. To me, its an expression of technical skill. If you create something original that's easily replicated, you're not talented, you're creative and enjoyable. Talent is being able to work your instrument to its highest, most complicated parameters. If you can create a piece of art for any person, no matter their preferences, no matter how difficult it may be, you're talented. Otherwise you're just a musician trying to reach others with your own brand.

Which is not a bad thing.
