Now I Got Worry
The Jon Spencer Blues ExplosionLike your drunk neighbors are having open mic night
Like your drunk neighbors are having open mic night
Really carried by the two huge songs, I’m not interested in British faux honkey tonk
Dude played for 25 mins barely coherent, stole half his set from little Richard, and then went home and slept with his cousin? Wack
Not bad but not good enough to justify his personality
Dude sounds like that blue CGI alien in Star Wars episode 6 after George tinkered with them. Just goofy
Cool grooves and like the drum sound. Second favorite Steely Dan album next to Aja
Pretty mid but wasn’t a fan of the vocals which seemed as if they were punched in on an intercom. Plus the percussion mix was way lower for a good chunk of the album
Really samey and boring if I’m honest. Something about southern twang singing irritates me but I love Southern accented rapping, not quite sure why
Appreciated more than the Lucinda Williams country-adjacent album. I always find myself just trying to push through and not intently listening to country (however loose)
Solid but nothing amazing
Wish the music was as cool as the band name
Pretty basic but interesting how old this album is
ROCK LOBSTAH
U2 does U2 things
Knew the big song but pretty solid all around
FONK
Iz jazz
I can hear the passion but that’s about it
Good energy and fun to listen to albeit a bit samey
Good alb. Bigger fan of crooked rain
Still fire. Sparrow is *chefs kiss*
Feels like someone giving a condescending rant, I don’t think that’s the case but that’s the vibe
Really diverse set of songs, good for mind wandering
Cool and laid back
It is indeed an Elvis album
Chill af, still good
Real smooth, solid listen
First relisten and something about the looping or extended beats come across as monotonous. I always have this issue with LCD Soundsystem for some reason. Enjoyable songs that get dry quickly
Another reminder to listen to more Radiohead
That 80’s ass bass, fun, and the Pleasuredome track was my favorite. Also never knew the band behind Relax
Typical Thin Lizzy, sounds like the regular album tracks
Not bad but not really my cup of tea either
TV commercial punk
Solid, I always associate with Modest Mouse for whatever reason but prefer the latter
Billy Joel’s country cousin, better than I thought but still not a fan
Really diverse set of songs, and not off the wall weird just unique
Fine, run of the mill R.E.M. It’s kinda crazy how mid or non important they feel as a whole while still having multiple generational hits that everyone knows
Like your drunk neighbors are having open mic night
Right around the middle on this one. Preferred LA
More dull than a spoon
Start of the decline, maybe it would have gotten stale but more thrash Metallica would’ve been dope
Hey man, my favorite Bowie album
Too ballady for me but the big singles still slap
RIGHT ABOUT NOW. Continuing the trend of learning where random one/two hit wonders are. Overall music loops>vocal loops
Pretty disappointed tbh. The album was just kinda boring
Ok. Liked songs that added horns the most
My mind always connects Nick Drake and Bob Ross for some reason. Both are calming, pleasant, and highly regarded by some following. But both I’m just kinda indifferent to
Happy 50th bday to metal. Still real good
Classic. The west side branch of native tongues imo
Goofy but harmless
Solid grooves, s/o to Pat for recommending this before
Always enjoy how Spiritualized build their songs into this huge cacophony
Great Computer
Still a fun listen. Crazy how this was outlandish punk music when released
Solid and the album art reminds me of the ‘jazz’ paper cups
Great alb but not my fav Jimi. Although Little Wing and If 6 was 9 are top 5 Jimi songs
Liked it, already familiar with the title track and season of the witch (unknowingly). I feel like this is The Doors lite, or without the edge at least
Good re-listen, I like the more orchestral parts of Arcade Fire especially the last track
Really hated the vocals on this and otherwise was only semi interested in the music
Kinda mindless techno-ish, not my bag
Quality boom bap but a degree under the classics from that era
Not bad but I think I would have liked it more without vocals. He sounds like me mumble singing to myself walking to the car or something
Feels like I should be driving through desert mountains, or I’m at a local Mexican restaurant set to a calming radio station
Absolutely slaps, closer to a 5 but not quite there for me. S/o Jake making this my 5th (?) Listen this year
Best Ice-T project I’ve listened to, always thought of him as a lesser Eazy E (even tho he came first). I dig the body count stuff too
A welcome relisten. Big sound like The Cult guitars, PS2-ass, 90’s tone.
Classic. Part of my first purchase at Toms too
Solid but still feels like they’re finding their footing. Killer Queen is a top 10 track tho
Anthems for horse girls but actually good
Not my steez but i liked it better than old man Cohen
Not sure why this is here it’s a run of the mill Christmas album. Also getting it on Christmas makes the random aspect sus, unless it’s just holidays?
Bjork is cooler
This was the first Zappa album I listened to in HS. Willie the Pimp is underrated and Peaches En Regalia still slaps
Great alb, not the most technical stuff but the raw energy makes the band
Nice relaxing listen to end the new year
Sounds great stripped down and the covers are dope
Surprisingly didn’t hate it
Boring and tbh not sure why it’s here
AKA Atlantis Morsefest. 90’s as hell
Surprised to see them on here but honestly held up nicely. The drumming is really tight
Not really a Neil Young guy but this was some good classic rock
Classic, but a wholly overrated band
Really beautiful in parts, a little long
Ok but pretty mundane, like their name
A 50’s artist I’ve always fucked with. Fats was that dude
“You know who’s good? Nirvana, y’all should try to sound like them” It didn’t work
Absolutely lives up
Heavy one week by barenaked ladies vibes. Not bad tho
Probably my favorite Slayer album and without the immensity of Raining Blood I’m not sure they would be remembered with as high regard
Dude played for 25 mins barely coherent, stole half his set from little Richard, and then went home and slept with his cousin? Wack
Decided to look up the story this time and cool no one knows what the hell its about either. The music and ideas are still fun tho
I like the one that went bee boo boo bop
Eh. Not bad but eh
Really chill and easy listening. Surprised at how early this was too, I’m a fan
Dusty is the correct adjective
Cheesy 80’s pop-rock, that has 3 of the biggest genre defining hits
Not bad but the music portion always seems ancillary to the lyrics
Silent and chill
Now that’s what i call country Vol. 6
You already know
Alright but not really in a folk mood at the time of listening. The last track was eerie and probably my favorite despite the simplicity
Prolly my fav Alice Cooper album. The drums are just so good, especially on the eponymous track, that opening fill is too catchy. This time around I was impressed by the amount of piano too.
Interesting but real long
Quiero bailar a la musica
A lot of the record sounds like the opening theme for 70s/80s sitcoms. Which isn’t bad but not the best
Yaaaaawwwwn. NEXT
Really great and sad it was his last album. Jimi and Mitch went off and you feel like you’re experiencing the experiments firsthand. Also the intro to voodoo child is still so fuckin cool
Did a quick Wiki on this and mad props to Fela Kuti. He showed integrity and the importance of making your voice heard through your art, and he suffered so much from it. The music itself lacking context is also really good
Their best album, fight the power is still anthemic
Cool album, favorite parts were where the keys and drums work in tandem as the guitar builds on a winding solo
The best
Meandering but really chill
Ol Frank songs to chill and fall asleep to. Work environment didn’t help my engagement
My favorite Dylan album I’ve listened to, certainly the most “musical” one as well
Really carried by the two huge songs, I’m not interested in British faux honkey tonk
Charming, in his bag, sexy Frank absolutely > sleepy wee hours Frank
Peak U2 and prolly peak ‘stadium’ rock
An ok album with a lot of ideas that just keeps goin and goin, oh hey jackass, anyways not bad
Finding their footing but still solid
Being sex positive? Cool. Doing it like an after school PSA? Not so much
“God MC, me, J HOVA” with beats from Ye, Just Blaze, and that one Eminem. Issa classic
Some small twinges of late stage Beatles in here
Voice still kinda grates against me but thank god it’s not Brown Eyed Girl level
This is a review, I’m writing it right now. I love to write reviews online. Take that to the melody of Cars and slap some basic synth melodies and you have this album
Still impressive for the time and a great listen every time
Surprised R.E.M. has more than one on the list and this not being my second choice I may be very surprised they have 3 on here
Not my thing and the singer sounds like Carl Weezer from Jimmy Neutron on some songs
Really like the grittiness of white stripes despite their simplicity
Never really dug her stuff before but pleasantly surprised to like this album
Some classic dad rock anthems on this jawn
Papa still a classic but even the Intro is a but droney for no reason. Solid alb
Pretty solid, 10cc always exist on my peripheral of interesting bands I remember existed
Why is this here?
Classic. Beyond classic and over loved often but still tight. Also forever connected to Paul Blart now
Nice soundtrack for a weekend of family fun
His voice is just goofy and this album put me to sleep
Makes the granddads go crazy
What does Depeche Mode mean? Cool album tho, one of those bands where I should listen to more but I never do
I enjoyed it, especially while making breakfast, but the language barrier creates a sameness throughout
Iconic... album art but what’s with the music tho? Not very special or interesting or good really
Still great and fun to listen all the way through. S/o to my cousins and their Limewire plug
Sus band name but solid tunes
Not bad but not really my jam either. Happy dad-adjacent rock
Aight, very general appeal but nothing mind blowing inside
Feels like a rock opera/musical and maybe it is but I haven’t paid much attention to the lyrics other than the weird furry dialogue. Dude can sing but not really my thing
So he is alive?
Really good energy that works for the straight up rock/punk music
Bizarre beats that never really work for me but it truly is unique
Just Supa Fly but go Missy
RIP Cliff who knows what may have been post And Justice For All. This album still slaps
Enjoyed it and couldn’t grasp what it reminded me of until I saw the suggested Spotify page for Blur
It’s hard to not prefer the Bruce fronted band but the first two albums kick so much ass too. Great songs that they still play live like Running Free and Ofc Iron Maiden is just a testament to how timeless this album is
Should have taken their own advice, there’s another album with that name already ya na?
The guitar on the self titled track was tight. The other tracks were cool too but that specifically stuck out
Ok but not great. Never hear anything about this band either
Sleep and boring. Not my jam
Not my usual thang but p solid
No prejudice activated. I liked it, guess he really carried Wham! huh
I understood most of it, not so broken after all
Dang they snuck me with Man on the Moon and Everybody Hurts. Still can’t believe they have 3 albums on this jawn
Honky Tonk Beatles strikes again
Solid rock album with a lot of notable tracks. S/o Guitar Hero Aerosmith
Super quality reggae, much needed
Dude sounds like that blue CGI alien in Star Wars episode 6 after George tinkered with them. Just goofy
Again and again. Solid
I enjoyed the jam stuff, just sounds like a fun show to be at
Not my favorite NIN but really good. Hurt is a classic
Probably my favorite Em project even though there are some stinkers. His attitude and image work a lot better before he worries about being heralded as the best rapper ever
Hooked me from that sample that Passin Me By uses. Chill beats to zone in with
This was a fun album, but not the greatest for sitting at a desk at work. Also wish I knew the name of that whooping instrument in the back of some tracks
Doesn’t take itself seriously which makes it a fun listen
Not sure what they fall under (new wave?) but I dig it. The bass tone and up tempo beats get me
Not bad but way too long for the type of music they’re playing
Oh this album fucks
Enjoyed it and really appreciated the brevity of this album. I’m not grasping why it’s super revered tho
He do be ramblin’
Cool beats and an off vibe that I liked
Great album, I really love the strings, horns, and other accompanying additions
Ok but nothing special
Ok but I’d categorize it as music for boring hippies
This album has already faded from my memory and I listened to it yesterday
Not bad but not good enough to justify his personality
Solid Bowie but doesn’t hit as many peaks as his top work
Honestly much better than I expected. I had always thought more energy went into his image than his music from songs here and there.
This made me sleepy. Too long and middle of the road
Hey it’s the Jojis. But absolute classic and very accessible Prog Rock. The album art is so iconic too. S/o Chris Squire
Still probably the best female MC of all time. This album is fantastic in about every way. Lauryn is also the most equal in talent between rapping and singing
Spoken word or something this close to it shouldn’t belong here imo. I’m here for music not poetry
More disjointed than I typically enjoy Bowie albums but he still fits the album sound to his personal style well
Masterpiece
Some absolute bangers on this one. The organs, synth, electric Guitar, and bongos are all perfectly utilized. Loved it
Guitar tone is super clean and solid all around
Solid punk but a little samey, which i could say for most Punk I’ve heard
A truer sentence has never been uttered since
First Mingus album i listened to and still really good on the relisten. This shit drips
Radiohead vibes but more opera-tinged(?) music
Solid blues jams. The first track blew me away and I was like “holy shit he sounds like Santana”.... the track just featured Santana tho lol
The talk box is fun and this dude really loves Da whey. Wasn’t this like the most sold album of the decade or some shit?
Real solid and shows the potential this band has, but not my favorite QotSA. The Josh Homme guitar tone is sick
Really liked the layering of this project. There’s a lot going on and it all meshes really nicely, sick alb
That super bowl performance tho
Interesting but never wowed me
I don’t recall a Wizard. Interesting take on borderline genre bending but nothing blew me away
Enjoyable and easy listen
Solid and enjoyed the drumming on this project
I lack the knowledge and intelligence to articulate how I feel about different jazz albums. But I liked this
Epitome of aggressive early hip hop, it’s crazy to see his rebrand (top 3 with snoop and ice t). No matter how shitty my day is “It Was a Good Day” will always hit
I’m going to stick with the Bob Ross comparison but I enjoyed this album more than Pink Moon
Pleasant but my girlfriend asked if we were listening to elevator music
Beautiful and possibly the best album ever made. The interstitial poem is ingrained in my head. RIP Pac
Not bad, does everything a punk album is supposed to do, probably won’t come back tho
Comes across as a dork but the music is solid
Really underwhelmed the first time I listened and had the same dull play through this time as well
Love OutKast but in the minority of not absolutely loving this album. It’s got joints for sure but a smaller chunk feels like filler. Still great
Missy is dope and whew that feature list
Upbeat and pleasant but nothing wowed me (2.5/5)
Really cool beats. I dig it
Really good still but I think I prefer badmotorfinger. The hits are all time on this one
Fun dad rock, nothing groundbreaking
Another miss for me from the Stones, it’s lacking something. Coincidentally listened to this the day Charlie Watts passed. RIP
Pretty dated but she does well as any emcee from the era. She reminds me of the female Ice Cube just not as aggressive
Really appreciate this album for starting the experimental Beatles arc. The songs are all good but nothing way out there AND on the level of The Beatles hit popularity. Shockingly the most well known song from this album is probably Yellow Submarine, which kinda makes my point.
Groovy, still wanna get funked up
Cecelia is a song I know but never known the name of, which is always fun to come across
Bass lines were the highlights, I guess this counts as Disco?
Absolutely slaps, way cooler than I thought it would be
Not sure if it’s in his best but still really good
Entertaining and I like the diversity in instruments
Amazing album. The first time I ever listened I was very mixed, especially jarred after the intro On Sight, and gave it like a 5/10. But now everything has clicked and I love this like his earlier work. Bound 2 is top 3 Ye songs
Real simple and just ok
Insane he pulled this off his debut, I mean the production alone Is stacked. The cover is literally one of the first images in my head when I hear “hip hop”
Never liked their song on RockBand which was my introduction so happy to say this was a solid album
Pretty good!
Not a fan of the white noise guitar effects on this one
Straight up rock. Aight
Confusing entry but not the worst
Not much noted but aight
Wheeeewww that SOUL man
Don’t know how to pin point it other than the obvious accent but big Brit vibes
This sounds like an album you’d put in the background of 50s movies when you don’t wanna use the music everyone knows
Really liked it despite limited experience with electronic stuff. Also cool to hear the missy/Ciara sample
Liked it a lot more than I thought I would as I imagined it as a Punk-ier album. Really nice atmosphere/vibe on the longer tracks, even the extended outro
Love their reggae/dub influence
Celtic colonialism vibes
OG rock legend. Simple and good
Really great thrash project and cementing Dave stepping out from Metallica. Devils Island is a jam
Too samey and I prefer Charles with some energy not commercial tunes from A Christmas Story
Some of the sound effects were grating but otherwise I enjoyed this album. Prolly under Dummy
Never heard of them before
Super 80s and the beats feel real repetitive and not all that interesting
Ah this is where the subpar Sheriff cover is, ok overall
That bass tone tho
Is Layla the rock version of “and I fucked your bitch you fat motherfucker”, obviously George and Eric weren’t feuding like that though. Have you ever loved a woman is also pretty cold too. Anyways it’s alright, and was deservedly called so before people figured out it was Clapton’s newest outing.
Shining star is the easy bop to single out but it’s all good shit
Not bad but buddy holly has always felt pretty lame
Sometimes it’s really cheesy but you gotta respect the boldness of this album
Has that beautiful melancholic tint that I love from The Smiths and is hard to find other bands that compare
What guns and how many, they never said
Surprisingly my first Chicago album and it slapped. Great stuff and fun playing
Soundtracks love this chick
Probably my favorite Black Keys project, just a lot of feeling bottled into these tracks
I was entertained!
Really clean sound but can lead to tedium
Very much of their time. I had forgotten that Hey Joe was a cover, Jimi was out here claiming people’s tracks and wiping them out of history
Can I get uhhhhhhh eh
Another overlooked band by me, the Cure is great
Wheres Jah!? Someone get Jah on the phone
But does Murder is Meat?
Avoided Willie albums cause I was afraid I’d hate the cool weed guy’s music. Happy to report it’s more folk vibes than country and I liked this album
Production is crazy and I have no idea how they paid for some of these samples (The Beatles!?). Rap wise you know what you’re going to get
The suburbs doesn’t need to sound this adventurous
Only heard the eponymous track before, liked the instrumentals but the vocals were a bit out there (as Bowie usually does). Solid
Like if tiny Tim went through puberty
Should’ve taken the girl as well
Such a sick variety of songs that you’re never bored or feel the length of this project. This time around Happiness is a Warm Gun has become a favorite
Oh hey, Aqualung. Maybe my favorite Jethro Tull album, good albeit corny (3.5/5)
I liked the vocals, most of everything else was fine, nothing really going on here
That onion article might be the realest review out there
Haunting voice that walks the line with being straight up goofy. A little sleepy
Thanks Todd, maybe shorten it up TODD
A good chunk sounds like the intro songs to James Bond movies. Or that’s just sway of what’s been around me lately, cause apparently everyone just kinda ignored the first song using Strawberry Fields’ melody. The most unexpected cool thing was finding a sample of an unreleased Tyler, the Creator song called “WTF right now”
Solid, kinda interested why this was chosen. I have to assume there’s a White Stripes album somewhere in here then. And there damn sure better be some Jack Black up in here
Caught me at the perfect time, I’ve been on a big Beatles kick after finally finishing the Get Back Series. I had realized I’m largely unfamiliar with the solo outings of each member. This album is really good and allows George to shine in his own light. Only complaint is the versions on Spotify have tons of bonus songs and I’m unsure where the actual album ends
Huh, yeah, what is it good for? A pretty decent U2 album it turns out
Very good and possibly the best of the boy band Beatles. In My Life is one of the most heartfelt songs in their catalogue. You Won’t See Me and Wait are personal favorites I return to the most from this album
Music made by space ghosts ooooo spoooky. I enjoyed it, s/o Moog
I think it’s been said already but a good album that gets a little repetitive. I just wanna know how they make the distinction between: Around the World at 4 mins? ❌ Around the World at 10 mins? ❌ Around the World at 7 mins? Oui oui 👌🏼
Thanks Ms. Rat, I like your voice but was overall bored (2.5/5)
First time I’ve heard him without the Funk, and I need the Funk (2.5/5)
“Stop Dr. Doolittle’s wave of mutilation before he gets YOUR pet”- PETA ad I thought of while listening Cool album tho
I liked this but I gotta wonder who selected this project. If the list maker was an English speaking native I assume they also had no grasp on the language like me, so like what if the whole thing is just praising genocide or something else despicable? Beats kinda go tho
Ok but like why? Really feels like guy who made this list had a fun uncle in this quirky band The Electric Prunes
So they have proclaimed so shall it be. RIP my guy (3.5/5)
Thanks for inventing cool Mr. Miles
Oh hey it’s the frozen Monkey man that’s cool (3.5/5)
Sounds great for it’s age. who tf is Roger (3.5/5)
If You’re Feeling Mid as Hell, why is this here?
I liked it, a post-hardcore sounding Jack White/White Stripesy mix
Glad to get this since it’s a White Stripes I haven’t heard before. Personally I would choose Icky Thump, Elephant, and White Blood Cells before this one. So maybe there’s multiple white stripes on the list? Which is egregious imo. Wish this project was more Blue Orchid than Little Ghost
Captures angst perfectly and it still makes me pissed today while bobbing my head along. Noticed the drum playing more on this listen through and kudos. Also fuck 12
Not my thang. Is this the OG Love Hurts? (2.5/5)
I’ve always meant to check this band out. Neat
Smooth as hell and one of the best flows in hip hop. Not to mention his production. I could use a whole Q-Tip & D’Angelo project
I really can’t get over his voice which is wild cause it’s never this big an issue for me. Dude sounds like he’s taking the hardest shit of his life like 80% of the time. Otherwise the band and lyrics are solid (2.5/5)
Soulful class
A bit boring to be honest but the album is fine (2.5/5)
Interesting to hear some non disco work and it was fine (2.5/5). Super interesting that the other face of disco (ABBA) also has a Waterloo song hmmmmm
Sounds like a BBC teleplay interstitched with psych rock. The music is neat and I like the idea but fuck me is it hard to understand the narrated portions haha. (2.5/5)
Don’t know if there will be many albums I love as much as this one in the list. RIP Neil the best drummer and lyricist of all time
Maaan List Papa (TM) really likes Brit pop/rock. This was cool, but my favorite moment was a couple songs in when the singer’s delivery clicked in my head as the guy who talks on Glitter Freeze by Gorillaz. And hey I was right, that feeling of music inter connectivity is the greatest
GGGGGG-G-Unit. Crazy debut that he unfortunately never topped. It’s crazy that 21 questions isn’t produced by Dre even though his fingerprints are all over this.
Judging by the list so far I’m about it be bombarded by Bowie… which isn’t a bad thing. Solid pick but there are a handful Bowie albums I’ll take above it
Huh didn’t know off with your head was these guys. Pretty good all around yet nothing amazing
Oh hell yeah. I’ve been playing this a lot this summer, specifically Walk On By, my favorite being on my way to the beach. Sunny windows down driving with those fantastic orchestral stings sheeeeesh. And damn Isaac’s voice is amazing
First time actually listening to this one but I know all the bigger songs. Zeppelin is fucking great regardless and there’s a couple stretches on this album where they’re just knocking it Out of the park. There are some lulls and the album could be trimmed a bit but it’s a great listen.
Nice to come back to this one. Both synchronicity’s and king of pain are great, the rest is good to ok. Synchronicity II definitely my favorite, sounds like a cut from Signals by Rush. S/o Stewie Copeland. More miffed at the fact they can’t put aside grievances and make more music together (3.5/5)
All time classic. The synth and funk samples are amazing and iconic of the West coast scene. Nuthin But a G Thing is probably a top 10 rap song for me. Sure there are immature parts but Deez Nuts still makes me Smile and are more emblematic of the era.
Beautiful tribute to Syd and a nice segue into the new era of Pink Floyd. The mood does drag a bit but all of the songs are great. (4.5/5)
Been a long time since I’ve listened to rock like this. Straight up classic that has basically 0 misses. The first half of this album dominated radio stations since the day it came out as well, it’s kind of undeniable
Cool to hear a one hit wonder’s full project. Not blown away I gotta say
