Drunk

Like the music from the Diet Coke Advert for 55 minutes. It just floated by in the background.

Real weird

It's boring and of the same type, sometimes it catches, but I don't think I'll listen to this album again and again. not a classic

Some great bass rifts in these songs, but it's like he didn't know what to add to the bass, so he added nonsense.

such an odd mix of great hooks and crap

i don't get it, how is this part of the list. this is just random songs to make love to. 80s type of BS.

2/5

A weird weird album. Like a comedy album at times. Hated it at first but I grew into it a bit the more I listened. However, there were way too many songs and each song was much too short. In the end, not really my thing. I find the drum machine sound annoying after a while.

Definitely a Pharrell/Frank Ocean *almost* lo-fi lovechild. Tokyo has interesting lyrics. The drums really pop on Them Changes - probably my favorite one on the album. It feels the most cohesive. This one didn’t blow me away but it was worth listening to.

Woozy RnB with some humour. Definitely not my thing.

If you like this sort of thing. Light vocals, hip hop, soulful music, it's a good album. I don't and therefore it isn't

Mhhh

Different, it's Ok.

4 songs in and I would love to turn this off. Are we listening to the same album?! How does this have so many high ratings? It is so boring.

I think it’s easy to see why this would be popular, as it gives off a confident air and sounds daring and innovative, but upon closer inspection it’s all a veneer. Some fun beats and some squiggly bass make for appealing background music, but nothing leaps forwards and demands further unpicking. It all ends up a morass of loose ideas thrown together without any shape or discernible identity. So: we find behind that veneer of glossy novelty, a gelatinous mass claiming to be the Great and Powerful Wizard of Oz. Too harsh? I did enjoy it as background music.

nice with something different ngl

If someone put this on at a party is enjoy it, would I come back to listen? Probably not. But bits of it are fun, the lyrics are funny in places and if I could give it 2.5 I would.

hm

Lame

Mellow. I'm not sure how this album made the cut onto this list to be honest. With that being said, I did enjoy it

When Robert Trujillo left suicidal tendencies....he joined Metallica. When this guy did it.....he wrote some weird jazz funk shit. I'll stick with the Bass Crab.

Cool jazz, jazz fusion. Suena bien, pero me aburre.

Jesus, grab the turntable...

Meh

¿Por donde empezar? Las letras están bien. Las letras 'divertidas' creo que no estorban. Las letras de las canciones cortas creo que están decentes pero ahí comienza mi conflicto con este disco. 51 minutos y 23 tracks me resultaron muy cansados. Los tracks pequeños que no son sólo piezas musicales de transición pero tampoco son canciones completas estorban, no portan mucho realmente y podrían eliminarse sin que nadie las extrañe. La música en general está muy bien armada, muy bien producida pero a mi gusto el exceso del sintetizador que suena como computadora de programa de tv de los 70s es repetitivo, muy espacial y todo pero repetitivo. Aunque las letras están bien y la música está bien, no me encanta el resultado, sobre todo porque que la letra no cuadra con la música y se siente forzado su fraseo. 2.5 estrellas que bajan a 2 ya que, aunque sí me quedo con un par de canciones, seguramente no volveré a escuchar este disco completo. Songs: Lava Lamp, Drink Dat, Show You The Way

Fuera de la portada que me pareció difícil de ver, el resto del disco no me provocó gran cosa. Es evidente que es un gran músico y que tiene ideas interesantes que quizá con otro humor podría tener ganas de explorar, pero en el par de vueltas que le di no dejé de sentirlo como R&B súperproducido y salpicado de detalles exagerados o intentando ser chistosos. Si tengo ganas de eso me gusta más Michael Kiwanuka.

Okay

I woke up with a raging migraine this morning, and listening to this didn't help in the slightest. Like Disney Channel-ified call holding R&B-funk music and I couldn't stand it. It's like it's trying so hard to be quirky and a bit experimental but it's actually incredibly boring at its core and all just a bit daft, particularly lyrically.

Que mierda es esto? Horrible!.….

Oof. A hard one to get through. And not gonna lie I did not get through it. Far too much bull shit that it exceeded my tolerance level.

I really fail to see what merit this album has.

Junk

This is like if the famous YouTube video "History of the Entire World I Guess" was stripped of its interesting subject matter and humour, you removed the visual element entirely, and then stretched it into a shitty overlong album. Hate hate hate. If I were on a 12 hour flight with no forms of entertainment besides this album I would choose to stare into space in silence instead

The beats are alright at times, but often they are a mish mash of too much shit. It makes me feel overwhelmed The worst part of this album is by far the way he sings. Makes me cringe so hard I hate it. Perhaps a harsh 1 - I think the length just pushes it over the threshold. It's as if he's trying too hard.

This seemed to be trying way too hard to be weird for the sake of being weird. In an effort to stand out it revealed how bad it was; way too long, average production, mediocre beats/hooks… not good

Somewhere between annoying and boring. Often both in the same track.

This album is not exactly shit, but it’s also not very interesting. While listening I felt some initial appeal, but after a while it started to become boring and predictable. The whole record has that smooth, funky, slightly weird vibe Thundercat is known for, with soft bass and dreamy production. At first it pulls you in a bit, but the songs start to feel similar and the atmosphere never really develops into something stronger. It stays in the same chill, slightly quirky zone the entire time without much variation or real impact. It’s an okay listen if you’re already into this style, but for me it didn’t leave much of an impression. Nothing offensive, just pretty forgettable.

Wicked base - just not enough of it

Not entirely sure what I just listened to. Some sort of soul/r&b/jazz/pop fusion. Confusing and in no way good.

So bad. Awful.

No, just no.

Giving this a 2 would be an insult to the other albums at 2 stars. This album is stupid for sure. The bad heavily outweighs the good. The lyrics are awful. The songs are so short, they aren't even worth listening to. The ones that are longer are the worst ones. I am going to have a hard time actually rating this because I didn't hate the album, but my brain won't let me even begin to think about rating this anything higher than a 1.

Creative but kind of dissapears up it's own ass and the weirdness becomes nauseating and shit.

Fuck I'm old. There is this thing (it seems to me) where people born in the last 25 years or so celebrate things that are not good because they think it makes them seem unique or fashionable or clever. Clothes, hairstyles, music, etc. - if it has little to no merit or aesthetic value maybe I should like it? I kind of understand since everything good in the world has been ruined or put behind a paywall, which if that is all you have ever known I'd be off too. This falls into this category pretty squarely for me.

One of the worst albums I have ever heard. I really tried to understand, but this is rubbish. It sounds like elevator music with annoying vocals and moronic lyrics.

When I did some work with the Ulster Youth Orchestra, it surprised me how these young musicians - much more impressive and accomplished than I ever had the commitment for - had such terrible taste in pop music. Just completely incapable of telling a good musical idea from a bad one, identifying a great performance from a hackneyed one, confusing all lyrics for poetry or giving no consideration to any of it. I found the whole thing baffling and pretty dispiriting. All this technique, all this theory, and no musical literacy. Perhaps they had been drilled so hard with music appreciation in the School of Music that pop music offered a reprieve from making judgments and gauging worthiness. They could rub around in all of it, like pigs in shit. I feel much the same with this Thundercat album. Obviously a gifted musician, he seems too bloated with promise to make a lean, effective record. There are so many ideas - the good, the bad, and indifferent - that it becomes, like Aunt Florrie's eternal knitting, "an interminable beige thing." It may be facility or overconfidence on the part of Thundercat, but he pushes no particular idea forward with confidence. No hooks. No robust simple grooves. No melodies. Nothing central to the mix on which the rest of the musical material can solidly stand (except possibly the drums). Rather everything is thrown together without exception. Every chord an extended chord. Every vocal harmonized. And the lyrics? I don't even think there is any particular enjoyment in the whimsy, anymore than there is satisfaction in the features. These are just the people Thundercat knows. These are just flimsy things Thundercat thought. There are dense albums that reward the time a listener spends with them. There are albums that are dense because the artist didn't spend enough time making the hard decisions. 1 Nowhere, over the course of 50 minutes and 23 tracks, did I really feel like Thundercat‘s blood got up. Sure he can play it but does he really believe in the musical power of jazz-funk fusion as an expressive force - something with which he can create moments of dramatic power - rather than as a mere circus show? There’s no evidence of that here anyway. It’s mere musical whimsy. He’s *just* taking the piss. Which might be credible enough if it didn’t also double as an excuse to display his celebrity chums. A waste of a listener‘s time. 1/5

Thundercat is known in the industry and has a made a name but I don't really know why all the glory. This cat can tickle a bass guitar but the music is sub par. It's some pretty bad loungy muzak with lame collabs in my opinion. Almost a parody album too with the content. Tracks like "Captain Stupido" and "Tokyo" garner a light chuckle but the record walks a fine line and doesn't work. Drunk would probably be a much better listen while drunk. 1.25 stars for Lionel trying to bring the thunder but falling way short.

Hey, I've never heard a whole album from that guy who was on Sugar Ray's Fly. Oh. That was Super Cat. Not Thundercat. Thundercat doesn't bring a lot of thunder. Kind of wish I had the super version of the cat.

A unique style but tries too hard to be weird when a preferrable blend of truly weird already exists in its purest form with They Might Be Giants. The world can definitely survive without listening to this 23 track lackluster album

Not necessary

Not for me 1/5

what was it? Reminded me of old Sunday radio programmes, Sing something simple ets, Mike Sammes singers or something. It was annoyingly bad

Man, this just wasn't my cup of tea at all. I wanted to like it more, but I think this style of R&B just doesn't click for me.

dms raro, no es mi onda

The worst one so far. I can't think of anything today I really remember from listening to it. Completely uninspiring. Can I give it no stars?

He’s very technically proficient at playing the bass. That’s about the only nice thing I can say. The singing is trash. The lyrics are garbage. It’s a mess.

This felt like it was trying to hard to be cool.

Opened with 2 ⭐️ tolerability, finished with 1 ⭐️ tedium.

Really groovy, I love the bass ! A really unique vibe, really interesting. Not really my vibe though. Fav song is ‘Captain Stupido’.

неровный альбом, фанк, джаз. дропнул на середине

What a mess. Ew.

wtf was that wtf is that album cover? a strange apocalypse now reference?

Nepp

I believe this album should not have been in the Top 1,000 albums at all. Sounds like a gimmicky version of other artists, nothing original. Did have a nice verse of Kendrick's tho.

What the fuck

Absolute garbage.

Keech! Pure unadulterated keech!

Ziemlich alben

Tää oli aika hissimusaa. Liian löysää. Muutamassa biisissä omi hyvät konetaustat.

Un serie di canzonette di rara inconsistenza che sembrano uscite direttamente dalla pubblicità di un detersivo. Arrangiamento trito e banale, voce monocorde che risulta seccante dopo mezz'ora di ascolto.

Made it half way. Sonic hot mess. Showy and flashy in spots but no real soul, like a Mustaine solo. Trying very hard but not getting there. And the lyrics. Wow. This geta in lists like this because people vote for it to seem cool or musically intelectual, then if you say you don't like it they say you don't get it.

Meh

Nope

sorry thundercat even with listen years later still not the biggest fan.. i can see its objective glory, yet i just don’t enjoy his vocals theyre anxious and the tone throughout makes me itch

- I don’t like his thin, strained, high voice or jazz/jazz-fusion, so this is a struggle. - It also mostly feels like a joke. - The songs are almost all really short, and so nothing really has time to take hold and they tend to end abruptly. Yeah, I guess it gives you the feeling of being too drunk. - It’s not for me, but to say something nice, the bass playing is good and there are some nice grooves throughout - the treble and meandering kills it for me, though.

One of the worst albums I have ever heard in my life. I have no idea how or why this has been included in this project.

Total fucking fuck kack. Or Comedy? 23 Songs????? Never. Time for some Death Metal! Entombed will reset my brain.

Sometimes I feel like this list is some kind of art project to make people listen to the most worthless music.

23 tracks with very little difference. Just heinous jazz-based bollocks.

It was nice to hear a black man sing nicely and not talk about treating women like meat. It was a shame it was a load of rubbish. I don't mind a bit of gibberish, but mixed with some tedious soul vibe, it was too bland with little variation over the album. The quirkiness was in a similar vein to Fiona Apple, maybe Americans just can't pull it off convincingly. As for making cat noises, he's hardly Robert Smith.... stick to Hardcore Thrash.

Has anyone with an ounce of talent made any music since 2000? If they have, I haven't heard it, and this did not change my mind. 1

1. ho - 0 2. captain - 0 3. uh - 0 4. buz -1 5. mail -1 6. lava - 1 7. jethro -1 8. day -1.5 9. zhouu - 1 10. uualk - 0 11. black- 0 12. tokyo - 1 13. Space - 0 14. Friend - 1.5 15. Changes -1 16.

Jazz and soft rock equals extreme boredom. 1 star or F.

How does this make any list

No

So bad

Absolute dross - never again

"Drunk" was a waste of my time.

insanity from the 70's

I thought this may be good with a name like "Thundercat." How wrong I was!! I don't even know how to describe it. It's not even decent background noise as the music sucks and that castrato voice is like fingernails on a chalkboard. Couldn't wait for this piece of shit to end

It's the kind of album musicians love. But I don't.

As a hip-hop, metal and jazz fan, I was excited to see that today's album was made by a guy from Compton, who had played in jazz bands and with Suicidal Tendencies before starting a solo career. I was expecting a wild experimentation in stylistic crossover, and I was really looking forward to it. What I got instead was a pretentious and nonsensical soup of bad RnB, childish lyrics, forced high-pitched voice and Nintendo sounds - a Frankenstein Monster stuck in the Twilight Zone somewhere between "unintelligible rambling", "cringey hipster joke" and "boring elevator jazz". It does indeed feel like being drunk, I'll give him that. He’s also meowing at some point. Literally. Although I’m not sure which is the worst – the meowing, the unsufferable RnB voice or the absurd lyrics about anime characters. My cat certainly shows more depth when he’s meowing at me. At least he’s actually got something to say, and he's actually a real cat. Just to be clear, I'm usually completely on board with weird experiments... That's not what's bothering me here. It's his horribly grating voice and the "hipster ironic vibe". The only thing I didn’t actively hate was the electro / astral jazz vibe. Had it been a purely instrumental album, I might have tried to find something good to say about it... But the singing was so maddeningly irritating that I just can’t be bothered.

It sounds drunk

Generic R&B melody and beats with strange lyrics.

Track 2. Captain Stupido. Pretty much sums it up.

Can I have the hour of my life that I spent listening to this back please?

Very poor, didnt enjoy one second of this

I imagine critics LOVE this. I don't. It seems like it's trying too hard OR not trying at all . In either case, it's not my thing.

It makes me irritated

Absolutely awful music

Hard no for me.

Not for me.

I love good music but I also hate some music. All that I hate about music is encapsulated in this album. 1/5 21/7/25

Not my music

Influences include Funk, Hip-Hop, Jazz, Pop, Ppsychedelia, Punk-Rock, R&B, Soft- Rock, and Soul - so it's no surprise that this album is musically all over the place. Many tracks are under 2 minutes, with the longest track being 4 minutes - more a collection of insipid vignettes, than an album of songs. After a while, all the tracks just sounded the same to me. I just couldn't get into this album.

Thundercat er bra, men kan bli litt intens.

Just because he says bitch don't kill my vibe doesn't make this good

1 Star (2/15)

Drunk is one of the most recent albums on the list, released in 2017, and I was curious to see what made it an “instant classic” in the eyes of some. Personally, I didn’t feel that way at all. Maybe I just didn’t get it, but to me, the album felt like background noise. It lacked a clear narrative or emotional direction, and I struggled to connect with it. Nothing really stood out—no big moments, no memorable hooks. It didn’t take me on a journey; it just drifted. That said, “The Turn Down” and “Walk On By” were okay—probably the most listenable tracks for me. But overall, the album felt flat and unengaging. Favourite song: The Turn Down, with Walk On By as a close second Least favourite: Honestly, most of the album felt “meh” Album artwork: Very unsettling and kind of creepy

dull, duller than a very dull thing

2/5

Awful.

- insgesamt fühlt sich das ganze Album einfach nur nach einem Experiment an. Jedes Lied eher kurz, unterschiedliche Ideen drin - für einmal angehört ganz in Ordnung, aber nichts, was ich öfter hören würde, denke ich - holt mich einfach nicht ab insgesamt 1-2/5

No es para mi

Sound like Frank Zappa made a disco album while singing in a falsetto but somehow still made it uninteresting to the point that none of the songs were distinguishable from each other only worse

Virtuos skill playing the instruments, but definitively not my taste.

missold an album here. Not my thing.

This is like the worst of King Crimson without KC's redeeming features. KC has no redeeming features.

Really got on my nerves

Couldn't get into it

Yuck. Soggy, saccharine, soporific.

How many stupid joke albums are on this fucking list?

This 51 minutes felt like 5 hours. Too many songs that all have the same warbly, dissonant jazz chords. Not a fan of the man’s singing voice either. I was listening to this on a drive with my wife and when “Uh Uh” came on she said “what the hell are we listening to?” I was nervous for a minute she had developed telepathy because I was thinking the same thing.

Any album featuring Kenny Loggins and Kendrick Lamar has to get points for eclecticism. Unfortunately the whole record sounds like Kenny Loggins with naughty rap lyrics. Too smooth, too ridiculous, too boring. Thundercat can play the bass with the best of them, but his songwriting is not my thing.

snoozefest i cant make it through half the album lmao

I can only assume one version of this book was written by Thundercat and he’s managed to sneak himself in. Score: 1/5

I have exceeded my limit for listening to generic R&B songs for one day. On another day, this may have earned a second star, but this list has been full of bland R&B recently and I've heard enough.

This somehow managed to be both chaotic and boring. Not for me

No, just no. What a terrible time 2017 was to be alive.

This is America, and America has truly gone to shit!

I kept searching for something that I enjoyed on this album but I couldn't find it. The songs were pretty underwhelming, bland and they sounded too much alike.

Good bass but bad structuring, meh writing and AWFUL mixing, especially on the percussion. Not even kendrick could save it

Some funk or something. Could not bear to listen to it. This kind of music makes me angry... really annoying music.

Disliked this. It sounds like the first efforts of a 14-year-old who has been given a keyboard for their birthday. The songs all meander and change, no structure, seem to be about banal observations and nostalgia.

Proof that excellent musicians can make shitty albums and that music is more than just playing instruments.

# Album Name: Drunk # Artist: Thundercat # Rating: 1/5 # Comments: Honestly, i thought this was pretty bad. It wasnt the worst music ive heard but Each and every song was super repetitive. Nothing stood out. The album was too long when each song was crap. Interesting, because theres some decent collaborators on this album. Overall, it wasnt my thing. It wasnt the worst thing ive heard but i thought it was shit. # Top Tunes: None. # Would I listen to it again? No.

Started really hopeful with some 70's funky sound. But quickly degenerated into some dull MOR songs Kool and the Gang rejected.

This is so bad. Easily one of the worst albums I've seen here. How can you have 23 songs that just sound the same - all equally bad? There is some variety when other artists are included, but still not good enough to save this pile of shit.

Don't know what I expected but this certainly wasn't it. I wanted to like it on premise alone - but I feel it's weird just for the sake of being so. No soul in it. Not challenging, not consistent just sounds like they threw sounds against the wall and called it a song

What? Never heard of them Too bad there are lyrics and vocals; some of the music is pretty good One star

I love that a bass player got to make some solo albums, but this is weird.

Got bored with a few songs to go

Meow

No.

It was definitely not for me.

Feels very long, and not in a good way.

Not sure what I was expecting but it definitely wasn't that. Apparently a very well respected bass player. Not my cup of tea 1.5 stars

Yikes!

Sadboi gamer lyrics with dead mall backing tracks. If it was a comedy album, maybe it would be a 2.

A damn tedious waste of an hour.

I just don’t know what shelf to put this on, so it will stay in a bag and forgotten about. Then I’ll discover it again, but won’t recall the sound, give it a listen and wonder why I didn’t just throw it out. Life’s too short.

Uninspired stream of consciousness set to a Casio keyboard. Well if that's not a five stars, I don't know what is.

That was truly awful.

might have helped

Wow. This was dreadful. Imagine Ross from Friends playing the music Mario puts on when he's railing Princess Peach and you won't be far off. As for the bestbthing on the album, I'm torn between the cover, and the bit where they make cat noises (which happens more often than you could ever expect).

I've never listened to this before, but after reading the wiki, was pretty excited. I was really disappointed with the actual music.

Just weird & not very musical.

I really could not get into this. Sounds awful to my ears

Not my thing

A friend really liked it so there’s a temptation to listen again to see if my opinion changed but personally really didn’t enjoy it. Firstly 23 songs is criminal and when the majority are just a collection of sounds from the DJ buttons on a school keyboard, it’s hard to stay focused on the album. Secondly, someone commented that Thundercat uses Reddit and it perfectly describes the random, misplaced modern references. Finally, 23 SONGS! The Kenny Loggins collab was good though, maybe annoyingly considering the whole album could’ve been like that.

Funky and chill but often the lyrics were annoying. I was surprised I did not enjoy this

bem estranho rsrsrs

Terrible, just terrible. I stuck it out hoping it would improve. I never want to hear this again.

It is not interesting. It is boring. It's not really hip hop or jazz. Tries to be funk at other points. It is better than a one but I will round down.

Crazy nonsense

I reaaaaally did not like this. It all had a resemblance to that YouTube video “history of the entire world, I guess” by Bill Wurtz. The sun is a deadly laser! And I wish this album was too, so I wouldn’t have had to hear the entire thing.

Hoped this 70s type of music had ceased to exist. Not m cup of tea.

Did not like this at all, thought it had a strange funk-jazz sound with even weirder lyrics. The album is like someone threw a load of stuff to the wall to see what would stick, but then decided to use the shite that fell on the floor. Highlight: Them Changes

Didn't get this album. Was a struggle to get through. Seems you either love or hate this...I am definitely with the latter

So bad. Annoying singing, annoying rapping, childish lyrics about Mortal Kombat, Dragon Ball, and Captain Planet. I did like Them Changes with the 70's funk vibe and one other track that had no vocals, but not much else good here. How did Michael McDonald get roped into this?

What a piece of trash album. Who let this nonsense get made? This is Jamiroquai's fault, isn't it? Whoever is responsible for letting Thundercat put this into the world needs a stern talking to. I mean, it's just so... dumb. Who's jam is this? I don't know but, after listening to this trash, I don't think I want to be friends with someone who's really into Thundercat.

1/5 Because I'm saving my 0 star review. I didn't think it could get worse than Pavement and Mike Ladd but it can... It can. This was definitely made while he was on a bender and his producer must have been on it with him so has nostalgic feelings about it and allowed it to come out in the world. It sounded like Bill Wurtz, but at least with Bill Wurtz you learn something and are less offended. *Insert Tim Gunn Gif Here*

Garbage. Irritating and immature. One song actually had meowing. Never again.

Kiinnostavia asioota joista voisi ottaa kopin. ohops lipsahti.. peräpuoleen.. kakkoseen.. kakkosta..heh.. ei ei ei.. VIHAAN TÄTÄ GENREÄ.. subjektiivisuuden paikka..

This wanted to be Prog, but it ended up being an album of nonsense & crap. This doesn't deserve to be on this list. I can think of 10 other albums that do. Awful.

Hmmm

I recall when this was released to critical acclaim I listened to a few tracks and was like, uh, no. Now I'm gonna listen to the whole thing and find that magic I overlooked. I don't get it, I hated this. There are some OK moments, but not enough to make the trip worth it. It felt like bad improv mostly.

Terrible start for me, gets better at “Bus In These Streets” and actually enjoyed “Lava Lamp”. Not a fan of this genre so far. Tracks 8, 9, 10 were alright. And some decent tracks towards the end with some food features. Overall not my style.

Mijn goed, nuchter niet leuk om naar te luisteren. Ik denk ook niet leuk om te luisteren met een potje bier erbij. Op een gegeven moment hoorde ik iets van een miauw en toen was het klaar
