Reminded me a lot of The Beatles in that quirky way. Very British sounding. Perfectly pleasant, if a bit odd, background music.
It's easy to forget just how insanely good NY's guitar is, but this album really showcases it.
Live music that's so well recorded and performed that you can barely tell. Classic!
Listened to half of this. None of these were particularly special in any way.
My vague knowledge of The Temptations remains vague, but now I know for sure that I love them
I always forget there's CSN & CSNY. This is classic easy, chill, jamming music.
Had some moments where I vibed with it, but just not generally my preferred style. I can see why some love this though.
Such a beautiful voice. Great laid back background music. Will be adding this to my record collection someday.
Fantastic early-90s east-coast rap.
Always a fan of Ice Cube. Turns out I knew several of these songs already, but have just never listened to the album in its entirety.
Been a long time since I've listened to this one. Still got instant chills when the bells toll at the start of 'The Way I Am'. Forgot just how violent this album is though!
Never knew the song "Alright" was by them. Genuinely enjoyable album. A poppy-punk vibe. Great listening.
Had no clue what to expect with this one. Very 90s angsty rap feel. A couple songs I liked the vibe of, but not something I'd listen to regularly.
It's The Beatles. Classic album.
Just good pure rock.
Reminded me a lot of The Beatles in that quirky way. Very British sounding. Perfectly pleasant, if a bit odd, background music.
Interesting. Has some fun rhythm
Fine, if a bit weird. Not my speed.
Pleasant listening music but nothing I'd get excited for.
Couldn't get through more than the first half. Feel like it reminded me of the Clash? Idk, just not for me
An album that I've probably only previously listened to once or twice, but love several songs form it. All-timer.
Never heard anything but the Shaft theme by Hayes. Some really good background vibing tunes.
A bit 'whiny' at times I think? Not bad. (Wish I had actually written better notes right after I listened yesterday.)
Familiar British pop rock, a la the Beatles
So many classics that are simply fantastic.
Live music that's so well recorded and performed that you can barely tell. Classic!
Short but oh so sweet. Their voices are so calming.
Just so so beautiful. Will be buying this vinyl ASAP!
My vague knowledge of The Temptations remains vague, but now I know for sure that I love them
Testament to GNRs success that I knew most of this album just from the hits, but liked hearing some new things by them from this album.
Will never complain about a Metallica album, especially not this one.
Funky British rock
Classic good times vibes
What's not to love?
Bowie is great but this was just good to me.
Great NIN, but just not my typical speed.
This just doesn't sound like the PF that I grew up with at all! It's very Brit rock, a la The Kinks and Beatles. Immediately after the album finished Dark Side of the Moon played - much more what I think of for PF.
Their sound is very... sexual, for lack of a better term.
What I expect from Talking Heads pretty much. Solid.
Fantastic album! Live in a way that I really actually enjoyed too.
All of my existing favorites, plus a handful of others that are also bangers. Led to a great continuation by Spotify also.
Really nice! Another where I discovered - oh hey, he sings that song.
Really enjoyed way more than I thought I would!
This album slaps. Sir Elton don't miss!
Just such a naturally appealing voice.
Classic after classic.
More familiar with The Blueprint 2 prior to this, but still so good. (And H to the Izzo is the worst song on this album tbh.)
Great album but for all the hype that it typically gets I was a little underwhelmed on my latest listen.
Fun live set!
A perfectly fine album just a genre that's not my usual fav. Good listening music though.
Just kinda creepy sounding almost. Not a fan.
Perfectly good background music for a scene at a beach cabana.
Great album with a few exceptional songs.
La Grange is an all-timer and the rest of this album slaps alongside it!
Listened to half of this. None of these were particularly special in any way.
An underrated classic artist. Need to remember Waylon more!
Reminds me of The Pixies I think? Not bad for just a little offbeat uptempo rock.
Great listen
Probably good for what it is, but I just don't dig it.
Every track sounded the same. I tried to get through all 2+ hours but gave up a few tracks short of the end. It's perfectly good for what it is, but I don't care to have to listen to it again.
Fine country music.
Bowie always great. Favorite part about doing these albums is listening to things I haven't heard from greats like him.
Surprised by how good this was outside of the couple I already knew!
Very enjoyable, lots of new Who for me here.
Fucking funky and weird. Definitely 80s electronica?
The opening track being so long threw me but it really got my ears jumping at about 8 minutes in. Fun listen!
Good, led me down a nice path in Spotify after it finished. Better for that than the full album was but still enjoyable.
Kinda weird overall?
Veryyyy southern rock. Dig the political vibes to this also.
Chill vibes.
Pretty fun Brit rock feel.
Had to listen off of Spotify but the whole album was a treat!
Fun & upbeat. Reminded me a bit of some popular artists, one that comes to mind is Billy Joel.
Punky rock. Not something I'd listen to regularly, but nothing offensively bad.
Crooning.
Pretty nice little techy, almost electronica, vibes. Fun listen!
Funky piano, nice mostly peppy sound.
Pretty fun, groovy listen.
Will never cease to amaze me that Neil somehow manages to make his voice sound so good. All-time classic album.
Really enjoyed The Byrds. Fun and upbeat, a little funky. Great album.
Fun!
If you told me this was The Beatles I'd believe you.
Fine, not terrible, but not particularly good either. Just not for me.
Classic album.
Several great songs that I forgot about, a good reminder of how much I actually enjoy The Police.
All of their best, some of the non-popular stuff isn't as great, but still a classic album.
The Cure is always a bit odd sounding to me.
Just a bit odd, didn't mind it being foreign language though.
Pretty groovy, alt Brit rock vibes. I enjoyed!
Has it's moments of good, moments of odd. More like 3.5 to me.
Really pleasant listening album
Idk, just wasn't anything that caught my ear in a good or bad way.
Nice background music.
Pretty nice, chill, ambient background music.
This was pretty weird at first but then I kinda came around to it. Like a British Eminem who just talk raps.
Listened to about 3 songs from this. Fuck this Jesus music.
Good enough but not super memorable.
Have never really been 'on' the Radiohead train, but it's a good album
His voice is great and so is the music, but I just don't love this album.
Meh, kinda weird and crooning.
Such a fantastic album, always great
There's just something about this type of old-school rap that's so easy to listen to
So many classics that I often forget are Dire Straits
Surprisingly great album, even outside of This Year's Love
Never would have listened if it weren't for this 1001 albums, and I really enjoyed!
Really fun album! 4.5
Reminded me a lot of a slightly worse Metallica
Got through disc 1 and the start of disc 2 but boy it wasn't easy. What a weird band.
Pretty generically fine to listen to, nothing caught my ear, but provided good inoffensive background tunes.
Not as many of the hits that I love but still fueled my afternoon work nicely
A bit of a bizarre album, but enjoyed it a good bit.
Peppy, kinda funky, but fun.
Eh, idk, just a little too out there for me to really enjoy.
Love it.
Actually pretty enjoyable and I didn't immediately recognize the artist, but it sounds so familiar! Such a smooth voice. 4.5
These are all actually really great and catchy!
Crooning but in a way that I actually didn't mind? Melodic and smooth.
Very unmemorable. Nothing much to dislike, but nothing I particularly enjoyed either.
Ugh, just so good!
Happy vibes
Actually enjoyed the most listened to song the least, but the rest was solid
Love a lot of this album!
Goodish
Classics that you can listen to all the time.
Honestly, it all sounds the same to me.
Really fun listen. Peppy.
Chill alternative rock, a little bit peculiar, but generally a pleasant listen.
New York, I don't love you; always bringing me down
Easy 5, every time.
A bit of a weird vibe but pleasant background listening.
Great album!
So fun and upbeat! Felt like I was in a Latin club while working on the couch!
Enjoyed the last song the most. The rest was just smooth listening, uninteresting tunes.
3.5. All of this sounded like it should be a in a Matrix film
Eh, whatever, nothing caught my ears but it wasn't offensive to them either.
Not a 5, but not a 4 either. Idk, U2 is good but never stands out to me.
Classics that led into more amazing classics. Timeless!
Uninteresting but unoffensive.
Aside from Paper Planes, this album was a dud for me.
Beautiful voice. Nice to hear it outside of Fast Car for a change.
Pretty fun, good vibes and voice
Classics!
Really pleasant, smooth vocals.
Easy listening
Can’t put my finger on who it reminds me of but I like it
Kinda like a mix of ska and rap? Reminded me a little of like Atmosphere or 311? Enjoyed it.
Nothing bad just didn't really get into it.
Kinda has a funkier Rolling Stones vibe. Pretty solid
She's got a beautiful voice.
Love this album
Grunge at its finest
Groovy is an apt description for this album!
I don't listen to Beastie Boys nearly often enough.
A little trippy but chill to listen to while working.
Bangers
Upbeat, kinda fun
Reminded me of like 4 different bands smashed together. Not in a terrible way, I still enjoyed the music.
Like a mix of ska with rock and something almost psychedelic at times. Weird but fun.
Hell of a fun album. 4.5
Who doesn't love a little S&G?
Unremarkable.
Enjoyed the live half of this more than I typically do. Lots of classics, and of course got Pinball Wizard stuck in my head for hours after this.
A lot of TSP's songs sound very similar, so I typically don't realize just how many of them I really enjoy.
Idk, I just don't really get them
Didn't even have to listen to know this is a 5 for me (but I listened anyway.)
Had its moments. Reminded me of a couple different artists mashed together - maybe some overlapping members or influence? 3.5
It's the B-52's, but without arguably their top two songs. Solid album, nothing to turn your nose up at, just not a 5.
Meh
Always love older Metallica! And this came up on the 3-year anniversary of my last show of theirs!
Many of my favs on this album!
WTF did I just listen to?
I mean, he's fine. Soul Free was my favorite song, even above Freedom. 3.5
Good for background music at a restaurant or something, but not something I'd ever go out of my way to listen to
So beautiful
Surprised to see that so few of his songs are 'hits' given how famous he seems to be in my eyes.
A bit sing-songy
Very similar to like Rancid and The Ramones but without quite as much pep.
Pretty fun listen, had a good rhythm and vibe
Good, not great. Would listen again.
Peppy and fun at times, other times just kinda meh. 3.5
Had me in a west coast mood all day!
Great listen. I would like to listen to it a bit more focused with his guidance in mind from the opening track and middle, but the overall sound is so beautiful.
Fine
Reminds me a lot of the Beatles tbh
Outside of the one hit, I didn't vibe with much of this
Kinda middle of the road, not anything I'd listen to again but not bad. 3.5
Pretty techno-y, dug the vibe. Solid listen. 4.5
Nothing exceptional for me but I did enjoy the background listen. 3.5
A little like A Tribe Called Quest, felt like an east coast rap vibe to me, dug it.
A bit like The Pixies? Same vibe
This was very good. I wouldn't go out of my way to listen again, but it was really well done.
Meh. The sound is nice and the talent is there for someone who's more into this style. Just not me.
Nothing against The Mamas & The Papas, but I just don't want to listen to them often.
Signature Genesis sound without any that made me go 'oooooh'
Such an outstanding album
Low key and generally inoffensive, but not going to revisit ever. 3.5
Will always love Clapton - just need to separate the artist from the art sometimes
Reminded me a lot of MJ with a few other vibes thrown in.
Was surprised by how much of this I already knew and actually liked given that I'm not big on her music
Not a particularly big fan of this. Very weird stuff.
A lot of new Led for me b/c there are a ton of less popular songs on this album. All of them are fantastic.
Have heard this album praised before and this listen was good confirmation of that. Shocked I'd never listened before!
There were moments when my ears perked up and I was like 'damn this is some fun music' and then other times where it just felt weird. Solid and fun listen from a way out there band/album.
Kinda funky and odd electronic. Good background music. 3.5
A simple elegance to this album, easy listening, nothing fancy.
You could have told me this was the Matrix soundtrack and I'd have believed you. Not in a bad way, but not that great either. 3.5
A couple familiar tunes, but listening made me think of Hot Hot Heat. Throwback!
Interesting to see the different play counts on this album. Classic.
Groovy, fun listen. 4.5
All great. Surprising to see just how many listens Mr Blue Sky has compared to some of their other bops though.
Never heard Tusk before this. Loved it.
A bit on the bizarre sounding side, but it's upbeat and fun. Solidly 3.5+, so we'll call it a 4.
Brooding. Reminded me of the fake musical the guy writes in Forgetting Sarah Marshall
I'm sure there are reasons why other people love this album, I just don't see them personally.
Shocked I hadn't heard any of this before, but what a damn beautiful voice.
Not really my vibe, but I can understand where this gets some respect
Has to be a 5 everytime
Had a Lenny Kravitz or Prince kinda vibe.
There's just something about the way this sounds that's so pleasing to my ears
Having heard of this famous album, I never realized how it really was live at a prison. The small interluded comments about guards and prisoners were wild.
Fine but not my vibe
I don't love the whole album, but it's got plenty of parts to enjoy
Really good background working music, almost trance-y.
Duh.
Such a beautiful voice
Sounds like the 90s. 3.5
Always love this album
Really enjoyable listen, good vibes. 4.5
Her voice is just really unpleasant to me
Every song sounds like a less fun version of Once in a Lifetime. Just not my jam.
Generally a weird punk album
Eh, this had it's moments but not many. 3.5
One of my favs, lots of the non-hits on here that are still greats
Really an enjoyable album. Soulful and smooth.
Unbeatable voice
Even better on vinyl, one of the greats. (Despite how much Kanye sucks as a person.)
Could not finish this one.
Always a great listen. Voice is so purely amazing.
Classic, beautiful, Neil
All of their songs have the same upbeat vibe. Not a complaint.
Meh, idk, she's talented but I really couldn't care less.
Was surprisingly good. Reminded me of a few other artists, though now that I'm rating this a few days late I can't recall who they were. I think Bowie was one that came to mind?
Christmas tunes, they're always just fine
Beautiful, soulful, jazz.
First song, solid. The rest had their moments of pure WTF. 2.5
Just a vibe and a half. So good.
Fine, some moments I enjoyed. 3.5
I've never been a huge SOAD fan, more casual, but there are some tracks I really enjoy here.
Kinda funky (not like, funk music, just odd) but fine.
Shocked to see an album with so few listens show up in this list (per Spotify at least) but it was actually quite good. A strong flow with some strong highs, few real lows.
What?
So many under the radar hits
Had some moments that I thought it sounded like Smash Mouth? Overall, a smooth and relaxing vibe.
Knew Ryan Adams had something of a cult like following. Now I realize why. This was so so good.
Just fantastic, smooth, and enjoyable to listen to.
Punky, kinda fun and upbeat
Eh, not bad, just nothing that caught my attention either
I can see the wide-ranging appeal, but this wasn't overly fantastic for me.
One of my old favorites
Some new Queen for me, which I loved all of
Love S&G, such a peaceful and beautiful album
Kinda fucking weird, but I finished it. 2.5 cuz it had moments
Solid, had the vibe you expect from the era
Absolutely loved. Soulful, reminded me a bit of Leon Bridges for the vibe
Lots of good in here. Not a regular listen kind of album, but a really good one
Nice to hear Passin' Me By on here. Never knew who that was by. A generally chill west-coast vibes type album. 4.5
He's got a great voice, but I just don't think I'd ever listen to this recreationally
Just smooth and fun to listen to
Was hard to finish, very Afro-French inspired, just not my speed
So many tunes I just absolutely love!
Nothing notable, but standard chill jazz
Exactly what I expect from Depeche Mode tbh. Only a 3.5 for me though.
Kinda funky in a good way. Fun vibes.
Groovy, upbeat, fun
A really fun listen
Fine. 3.5
Eh
Too brooding for me to really like, but pleasant melody wise
A few of the classics, many others that I just don't hear very often. All great.
It's Radiohead as it is to be expected
Didn't expect the amount of just instrumentals in this.
Fucking weird but a little bit of a bop at times
Groovy. Pretty fun listen!
Beautiful
It's The Clash. Very good, but it does all tend to sound similar to me.
A classic that I always love revisiting
Had some reggae vibes at times. Mostly pretty okay
Lots of great songs in here. 4.5
Pretty good vibe. Beck isn't something I'd listen to of my own volition normally but really should change that. 4.5
Just a solid rock album even after School's Out
Fine
Talking Heads vibes? I think? Or maybe I'm confusing with Flaming Lips? Either way, pretty fun and upbeat but not my usual style. 3.5
Enjoyed a bit
Awesome album!
Upbeat rock, pretty good listen. Lives up to the band name!
His voice is beautiful but it just doesn't quite do it for me like it does for others.
Beautiful voice. 4.5
Dylan is great, but I do start to feel like the songs blend together
All-time great
Not particularly good or bad. 3.5
This is some real antebellum racist type shit. Who knew that the guy who sang 'You Got a Friend in Me' had such a shit past?
Have always loved them
All the vibes you expect from this era. Rap has changed so much since this
Not quite what I expected from her. Had an almost old-timey feel to it?
Smooth, good vibes
She's not my cup of tea but this isn't objectively bad music. 3.5
This is one of those albums I've always known of but never sat for a listen. I could stand to listen to this from start to finish with no distractions.
Pretty unremarkable but not bad. Know some other New Order stuff but this was all new to me I think. 3.5
I obviously knew We Are Family but the rest of this was pretty good too!
Nothing I would go back to. Thought they sounded like the band that sings Don't You Want Me until I got to the last track and realized that it was!
Old timey country in the best of ways. 4.5
The whole album was like a lesser version of Sweet Dreams. Like if you distilled it down and weakened the things that make Sweet Dreams such a great tune. 3.5
Generally perfectly enjoyable but nothing I'd be excited to listen to again. 3.5
He's The Boss for a reason~
Not my usual kind of stuff, but really liked this mix of grunge and metal, and the new to me songs
It's Bowie. It's great. But it's also not my favorite.
Stoner reggae at its finest. Nothing wrong with it, it's a pleasant mellow vibe. Just not what I want to hear.
Just don't vibe with them
I swear this was an album previously b/c I've heard it before I think... or maybe it was a different Kraftwerk?
Lots of great songs here that were brand new to me!
It's all Led to me. Which means some I love and others just sound the same. Idk, I guess it's a solid 4 for me
Exactly what I imagine this to sound like.
Beautiful background music
Moments of 'huh' and some of 'nice'
Sounds pretty good, easy listening background kind of music
4.5. Really good all around album, just not quite my fav
4.5. This is a fun album. Definitely didn't realize I knew this artist a little when it came up!
One of the few in this project that I have turned off before the end
Passionate in a soulful way
3.5. It's like a mix of The Beatles & some other Brit-pop types. Not my usual, but fine
Have loved this album since my bus driver played it on cassette in 4th grade
Perfectly fine
Memorable in the sense that I remember thinking this was perfectly fine, but I also don't remember what it sounds like very much at all. 3.5
Standard for what I think of being of this era. Sounds like a knockoff Beatles that I enjoy a good bit
Sounds more like The Ramones type Brit-punk than I usually think of from The Clash. (A good thing IMO.) 4.5
What I expect from them
Older punk rock but without quite the same pizazz that makes me love The Ramones and similar
Eh, idk, it's fine
Amazing renditions. Otis was so immensely talented!
Gold
Good, nothing particularly notable though
Kinda folksy Indi stuff. Not awful sounding but not my vibe. 2.5
Old school run. Doesn't have quite the same bite
How was one album so freaking good?
Beautiful from start to finish.
Most of the album isn't available on Spotify, but found a decent chunk on YT. Actually a really great voice, soothing and upbeat. New artist for me that I really enjoyed!
Chill, mostly piano-y vibes with a bit more eccentric stuff tossed in. 3.5
Has some fun pep to it at times
This album isn't what I usually think of from Bowie. Almost all of these songs could easily have been in FFVIII
Less hard than I would have imagined for Iron Maiden tbh
Very 'Brit pop' esque. Perfectly fine. 3.5
I enjoyed but didn't love anything about it. Just all around a very easy and good listen.
Has some real bizarre moments but I found it to be a fun listen!
This album is great from start to finish. Such a listen
Had an eclectic mix of vibes. Overall nothing struck me that much but it was a pleasant listen. 3.5
Would indeed be great Latin dance music (just don't know exactly what style due to my own lack of knowledge there.) 3.5
It's just a good easy listen
Groovy bluesy vibes. Very enjoyable listen!
A bunch of the classics I love!
Just fine, I feel like it sounds like a lot of the music from the era and not really distinct to me.
Kinda funky vibe, but in a way that was pretty good I think
This entire album belongs in a Tony Hawk soundtrack. 3.5
Groovy, pretty upbeat and fun
Grungy like I expect from Alice in Chains. Mostly newer songs to me with a couple old classics I knew.
Beautiful
Not the usual enjoyment I get from this genre, but probably just because it is a touch less upbeat.
Opens with some bangers but really the later half of this album doesn't offer much to me. 3.5
All so good, probably like some of the less popular ones most too
Damn this was a great listen. I forget just how many great songs are in his collection, many of them on this album
Meh
Dug the vibe of this but it wasn't available on Spotify
Love the whole damn thing
It's easy to forget just how insanely good NY's guitar is, but this album really showcases it.
Kinda groovy. Good rhythm. 3.5
The last song was particularly moving, deep and passionate. As a whole the album is a laid back listen, a beautiful crooning voice (honestly reminds me of Alanis a bit maybe?)
Soooo many killer songs
Enjoyed hearing some of the off-the-beaten path Queen songs!
Pretty okay. Had some melodies I enjoyed intermixed with pleasant listening. 3.5
The feel of Deep Purple throughout, but almost completely new to me!
Eh, kinda just fine
The King! I just want to dance when I hear anything from Elvis
Had some moments that were a little Pink Floyd-esque in the vibe. A little psych-ey. Not my speed overall but can see the appeal to some.
Love me some Miles Davis
I kinda grew tired of LDR years ago, but this album had a lot of tracks I enjoyed
Some beautiful, iconic tunes in this album
Sounded to me like a mashup of a bunch of different artists and styles. All kinda fun at least
Really enjoyed this listen, and had no clue that they sang 'Stepping Stone'
It's Neil. It's great. Loved every second of this album - it's got a bit more rock than folk to it I feel.
Comes off to me like a mix of Beach Boys and Elvis. Upbeat and tickles the ears nicely
Not my usual go-to but this was solid throughout and had some moments that caught my ear
Fairly good but unremarkable. 3.5
Folksy vibe with a moody feel to it. Solid instrumentals for listening.
The vibe of all of these sounds similar to BSS, but less brooding and sad maybe. I'd listen again.
Kind of a mixed bag for me.
The amount of the album that was like straight answering machine recordings was bizarre. I get they were going for a story of sorts but it didn't work for a casual listener like myself
This is just a kooky album, especially a few of the tracks
Has that strong, edgy, East coast rap flow to it. Makes for a good background listen that still gets your head bobbing a little
Just a genuinely fun album - plus I love his Higher Ground
He's got a great voice but outside of the hits it kinda fell short for me
It's brooding in a way that I just don't enjoy. His voice also just is not great
I feel like he's got a way better voice than you ever really realize
Beautiful voice - had to listen on YT b/c half of the album was hidden on Spotify?
She really did have such a beautiful voice
Has a voice that reminds me a bit of Rod Stewart mixed with Led Zeppelin's lead. Guitar was definitely elite
Has a funky, Brit-pop kinda thing going on. Not bad. 3.5
Pretty much west coast rap as I expect. Really enjoyed the Body Count's rap hew. But still for me, east > west I think... 4.5
The vibe/sound of a lot of their songs is similar enough to me that I can't quite give this a 5. But I don't deny that this album is great (even if it is long af, hah) 4.5
Learned a lot about Rod Stewart last week. #1 thing I learned is that I just really love his voice. Faces was a new band to my consciousness, but I knew a couple of these tunes already.
A bit of a weird, funky, techy vibe.
Sounded like it belonged in The Matrix or a similar late 90's - early 2000's sci-fi type film. An overall fun listen.
Pretty standard but unremarkable classic rock feel
His voice is so soothing to me on any non-hyped up songs. A lot of this album is like that.
Pretty moody for my tastes
Can't go wrong with Sinatra, I love his music so much
Had a little less pep than I expect when I think of The Beach Boys
A bit melancholic in sound with a vibe that still sounds peppy? Also weirdly brooding in some ways. Just generally a bit odd.
Just a great vibin' album
Pretty ominous electronic ambient music. Every track seemed so similar. The eeriness of it was just too much, closed out with a couple tracks left. 2.5
Kinda soulful, old school country vibes. Really a nice listen.
Pretty great power rock vibes, highlighted by Walk of course. 4.5
Eh, not my bag.
I guess they're just not quite in my wheelhouse but they're not objectively bad.
It's all pretty similar, upbeat and poppy. 3.5
All of this is beautiful, such a voice. But I was surprised by the more up-beat, faster Smackwater Jack. Reminded me of Jim Croce's energy.
Really enjoyed this. Reminded me of Marty Robbins! Will seek out this on vinyl
Beautiful voice with some familiar tunes that I hadn't really known well before
Nothing particularly notable, but not objectively bad. 3.5
Really enjoyed The Band even prior to listening to this. Great album here. Was shocked to look at their discography and see that Atlantic City was 24 years after this first full-length album of theirs!
I like it but it all sounds pretty similar, not much range.
Fine
Less high energy than I expected, but a pleasant background listen. 3.5
This album was shockingly awesome
Typically beautiful that I expect from PF. Interesting how the first and last tracks were done to be one long track but also like 4 songs in one?
The album is overall a solid listen but nothing really stood out to me, aside from the bigger hits. 3.5
80s synth-y with a bit of an ominous, brooding, vibe at times. Nothing to write home about for me, but a simple enjoyability. 3.5
Gave me White Stripes vibes. I actually enjoyed quite a bit considering it was so random and unknown. 4.5
Missy created a classic album with this one!
Brings back memories of translating his songs in French class. It's a good vibe for music, even if I don't understand most of what is being said!
I just love Van's voice so much
Really loved the sound of this
Nothing notable
Loved as expected
It’s such a peaceful album, for better or worse
Nothing particularly good or bad here. Just a pleasant listen
There's a little something to the Stones that I just don't quite love the same way I love a lot of other classic rock artists. Great overall album but falls short of excellent for me. 4.5
Had some Deep Purple kinda vibes (I think, that's the first artist that comes to mind.)
Just easy listening and smooth. Enjoyable.
Has that good sorta edgy punk feel that at times seems Brit punk to me.
Kinda croony and melodic
Yea, no. This is the extreme shit I just can't listen to. Let it get about halfway through the album and called it. Hard pass.
Punk rock vibes without any aspect that really stood out to me. Just fine.
I kept thinking this was The Cure and waiting for a song I knew. Then the album finished and Spotify played one and I thought it was the same artist still. 3.5
Kinda chill folksy feels. Pleasant.
Reminds me of middle school
Good vibes
Voice and vibe of this album reminds me of the Dead actually. Groovy dad rock, as Wilco does
I have always loved this album so much
Muse all sounds similar to me. I like it but nothing stands out much
I always forget that they're Blister in the Sun. The rest is nice too
Grunge rock, pretty standard sound for the genre/era. Solid but nothing caught my ear
Pleasant listen
Unremarkable but a good listen
Really fun album, very unique sound that was still distinctly Metallica
Soulful, impassioned. 4.5
Nothing but good listening here. Love Paul Simon
Just what I expected with some good vibes that were new to me.
Great, start to finish. Final track on Spotify isn't one I'd heard before though. Extended?
Exactly what I'd expect from Muddy Waters. I won't listen to this often, but it's a vibe.
I swear every time I listen to The Kinks they remind me of a trippier versions of The Beatles
Every song sounds like it belongs in a 90's teen movie. 3.5
Man, this album is full of all the hits from LS!
It's typical Marley, good but not my usual type of stuff
It's a little upbeat and fun, but I don't find anything about it to be particularly great. Just good. 3.5
A bit off beat and groovy. Jam band-esque in some ways. I could listen in the background again easily.
Gave me some Smashing Pumpkins feel at times.
Honestly, this is pretty boring for the most part. Who would ever actually dance to Joy Division?
Had a west coast feel to it, a bit groovy, with some times that felt like block party jamming. Pretty chill for the most part.
This album is just so chill and ethereal from start to finish
Always a fan of breaking out the Led
Kinda peppy new wave electronic vibes with some east coast rap blended in at times. 3.5
Oh hey, it's that song from the Geico commercials! Kinda far out trippy melodic electronic. Pleasant.
Honestly sounds like most Radiohead to me. Just melodic and a bit somber, perfectly good but never noteworthy to me. Maybe if I listened with more intention to the lyrics, but that's not how I'm doing this project. 3.5
Bowie through and through. 4.5
This is weirdly a lot like Bowie, which was my album right before this. Sort of a brooding, melodramatic, alt-rock
Kinda groovy and jam-y. Pretty fun listen.
It's such a mellow album. Really like their chill energy
Soulful and kinda groovy. Surprisingly great. 4.5
Reminds me of some different voices / groups of classic rock. Simple voice. 3.5
Smooth and soulful. Would be a great record.
Brooding and melodic. Very 80s. 4.5
Just so groovy and fun
Every album has that groovy rock and roll twang that Dire Straits perfected
Just good vibes
Has a lot more rock than I normally associate with Jimi for some reason. And then one random song that sounded like The Beatles?
Grunge-y, overall just kind of a downer it felt like. Not my speed.
When I first saw Coldplay come up I rolled my eyes, but after listening I really enjoyed this album more than I thought. 4.5
Kinda generic dad rock that was didn't inspire any real feelings. 2.5
So many of these are great and were totally new to me! Particularly enjoyed Tell The Truth as a new-to-me tune.
Just all so smooth
I just really love the energy of Steve Winwood's voice, throughout this album and all of his music
A lot of this feels like re-made versions of Tainted Love with less catch
This is by far the worst album I've listened to in this project. This isn't music so much as it's ethereal mumbling and randomness. I can see why some might call it music, but I disagree. Wish I could give this a full 0.
Reggae kinda vibey. Chill but not what I particularly like. 3.5
Just easy listening smooth jazz. Makes me wish I were sitting back with a cocktail.
Pretty weird. Kinda Talking Heads like?
An electronic funk spin on what feels like east coast rap to me
Kinda trippy and foreboding
One of those 'wow I know a lot of this' kind of albums. I guess I kinda really like DD?!
One thing I always appreciate about The Beatles is how succinct each song is and how clear it is when a new song starts. 4.5
Celtic-esque and passionate crooning. Pretty pleasant listen overall, if far from my normal listen.
I really like ABBA - even went to their museum in October - but I just don't love ABBA. 4.5
Sorta Clash-esque 80s Brit rock to my ears
The usual punk rock I'd expect from the Sex Pistols. Nothing I go crazy for but solid
Love Frank, this album is particularly smooth and easy
Tres bien! Je peut entendre cette disque longtemps
Eh, I can see the appeal to some but really just not for me outside of a few glimmers of a fun vibe
I had no idea this album was so old. A lot of really good tracks here
Angsty femme rock. Just okay IMO 3.5
There's a passion in her voice that I like. Also shout out to what appears to be the inspiration for some Lion King songs?
Beautiful voice. Passionate.
Now this ABBA album I did love
Gritty and vibrant. Such a soulful voice.
Emotional, kinda brooding. I don't dislike it but I don't particularly enjoy it either. 3.5
Not really my jam. Kind of hard punk Brit rock towards the end
Indie, emotional. Simple but pleasant instrumentals. Her voice is raspy. 3.5
Reminded me of a grungier Rolling Stones in some ways? Or maybe I'm thinking more Led Zepplin? Idk, can't put a finger on it right now but it had a familiar enough vibe.
Idk, it's Radiohead. It's somber and crooning and I'm sure there's a depth there that I just don't really resonate with... but it's fine. 3.5
Very chill, vibin', rap
Ethereal and brooding. 3.5
The whole album gives rock opera vibes. 4.5
Clangy guitar and peculiar lyrics and vibe. It's just all a bit weird, but in line with the time. 3.5 for me
He's got such a soothing voice, but really nothing about this spoke to me outside of Call Me Al.
The whole album has the same vibe as Come On Eileen, not sure why more of their music never broke through. 4.5
Kind of a plain, mellow, 90's grunge vibe.
A little obscure. Has a slight Indian twang to it that reminded me of that style but more ethereal and out there. It was fine for background listening. 2.5
Sounds quintessentially 80's
Has some moments that feel very Beatles adjacent to me. Overall a good listen, think I heard this album about 6 months ago previously randomly. Good stuff
A few classics and a mix of other stuff that lives up to their earlier, somewhat 'softer' sound to me. 4.5
80's as fuck. Synthetic feeling. 3.5
Oddball, groovy punk sound.
Quite enjoyable for a band I've literally never heard of. Singer gave me some Rod Stewart vibes I think?
The difference when Neil sings is wild. The band still sounded the same musically but his voice is just vastly different. I think I prefer when the other three are more prominent though!
It's just Nirvana live. I don't prefer recorded live music, so it's just like listening to Nirvana to me, but worse... 4.5
Soulful and some groovy to it. Loved this
Learned a lot about Living Colour today, mainly that they have other songs that I like. 4.5
Unlike any of the new Arctic Monkeys stuff I've heard. Has an almost Sublime vibe?
It's The Stones but in a more subdued way. You can tell it's their very early stuff. Sounds and feels like them but punches lighter to me
Just so fun and groovy. Beautiful rich vocals too
Classic East coast flow. Pretty laid back. 4.5
Reminds me of Missy Higgins' voice. Fine but nothing to write home about for me. 3.5
It's just a whole album of sounds, a little funky and groovy. Doesn't really do much for me though.
She's got such a beautiful and soothing voice
Yea, I love this album for sure
Little bit of twang to this, a pretty enjoyable listen
Haunted Dancehall seems pretty spot on for what this album is. It's a lot of jangly eccentric tones strung together with just enough rhythm to sound like music. But it's overall just kinda bizarre and almost eerie at times.
Classic late 80s early 90s country sound. Easy to forget about Dwight but he had some great stuff
What a voice!
It was fine. 3.5
Has a vibe very in line with CSNY, a little more edgy and rock like than I picture from them. Segued perfectly into more of my favorite era of classic rock on Spotify too!
Ethereal and a little annoying to listen to tbh
I just really love Rod Stewart's voice
Excellent album
The back half of this album seemed a lot more electro than the first to me. Preferred the first half by a good bit.
Really the album is good but the incredible intro really does the rest of the album in because the rest falls short of that. 4.5
Honestly, it just sounds too much like they're jamming the instruments and not playing? Really unsure but the whole album left me un-enthused.
I vibe more with the big songs for sure, but I don't dislike the rest of it either
The whole album is just a good vibing flow.
The lead singer from Arctic Monkeys is apparent. The sounds are very similar also. Peppy at times and eerie at other times.
Really a funky kinda groovy thing for the most part. Kinda fun. 3.5
Really reminded me of a Jim Croce vibe in the first half. Second half of the album was a bit peppier and more groovy almost. Had a few I really was bouncing too. Almost a 5 for me
Such a passionate and soulful voice
Had a little bit of a Bowie vibe I thought. A fun little upbeat listen without anything that really made me excited either. 4.5
I enjoy R.E.M. songs, but to some extent they do all sound the same to me. This is largely due to the vocalist being so distinct I think. It's a little fun and peppy for most of the album. 4.5
Hate Kanye but this was one of the best of its time...
Shocked at how low some of the play counts are on this album. Classic old-timeycountry here!
Hard to pin down how I felt about this one. Kinda Clash-y at times, maybe some The Doors sound too at times. Overall, fine but nothing great to me.
Pleasant listen but nothing earth shattering. 3.5
A perfectly unoffensive and otherwise fine album. Just... boring mostly. 3.5
Enjoyable and easy to listen to, even if it doesn't really interest me particularly. 3.5
Great, classic old school Snoop. Just lacks a bit of something for me to call it a 5. 4.5
Beautiful. And it has that crackle you love to hear from records of that era
Hard to argue with Cash, and this is one of the few times I've actually really liked a live album. The reprise was fun to listen to, hearing the crowd and Johnny talking to them. Great stuff!
So many really great tracks on this album!
Gave me 80's Brit pop vibes for sure. Had some kick to it
Just generally quirky and peculiar. Not bad, just... fine
It's Marley through and through.
Melodic and mellow. 3.5
Kinda somber and smooth. 3.5
Eh, idk, it wasn't bad but it was fine.
It's very aggressively punk. It's just take it or leave it for me.
Love his voice. The music doesn't always hit perfecy notes for me, but it's overall very good. 4.5
It's just a mellow but almost weird vibe. Not unpleasant but certainly not my jam either.
Pretty standard sound for this era of punk, not edgy or too upbeat, but perfectly ok. 3.5
Indifferent towards this one. Nothing particularly notable to me.
They're so easy to listen to and I love the lead vocals. 4.5
A little bit of a psychedelic synthy kinda vibe. Pretty mid for me. 3.5
Groovy and a little funky. Just fine. 3.5
Really beautiful and mellow. Highly enjoyable to listen to. 4.5
Groovy and upbeat. Fun listen!
Perfectly ok to listen to
Pretty fun listen even aside from Take On Me.
I'm so used to hearing live Dead recordings that this took me by surprise for how crisp it is.
Groovy and peppy. Vocals remind me of the Black Keys (heh) a little bit!
Damn, this was a vibe. Really dug this one
A very 70's vibe to it. It's got a smooth feel to it with a twangy, folksy kind of rock sound
Eh, not really a style I want to listen to but I could catch glimpses of why others would
I was digging that late 80's early 90's indie rock vibe... until Don't. WTF was that? 3.5
The whole album sounds the same to me. And that sound is James Bond movie theme song. 2.5
It has a distinctively weird and creepy vibe to it that feels like it matches perfectly with the artist, album title and artwork.
Talking Heads songs almost all sound the same to me, which is fortunately a groovy and fun vibe that I can get down with
Eh, nothing offensive or to dislike, just didn't like it much either. 3
Idk how TF Leonard Cohen has 4 albums on this list but they all sound the same to me and it's just plain boring
Has some moments (Harry Flowers especially) that remind me of a Final Fantasy soundtrack. Pretty chill background vibe music. 3.5
Pretty jam-band feel throughout most of this. Just a nice little groovy ditty
Kinda like he was just talking for large parts of the album? Generally a little odd but nothing really off-putting either. 2.5
Kinda gives that late 80s alt vibe. It's perfectly fine without making me really like it either.
Pretty fun older alt vibe. 3.5
Shocked I've never heard this whole album. This had several great early alternative rock classics and even the songs that were new to me were great!
All-time great album for me. Love it from start to finish!
Groovy and pop-y. Good bopping your head music.
Honestly a great album top to bottom, didn't expect to jive with all of the non-hits this way
Fuck Kanye. But GDI his early stuff is just so good. Have to separate the artist from the art sometimes I guess...
He's great, but I also just feel like his voice lends itself to every track having the same vibe
Sweet and melodic - enjoyed this a lot. 4.5
Has a familiar 2000's indie alt rock thing to it. 3.5
A swaying, crooning album. 3.5
Has a voice that reminds me of Alanis at some times. Punk and angsty. Not my vibe. 2.5
I guess I can see why some would enjoy this because the guitar got my foot bouncing a bit at times but the screaming and barking really made this a no for me.
Don't even need to listen to know where I rate this - a solid 4.5 - just due to the 100 times I listened to this as a teenager. But I'm re-listening just to see if anything strikes me this time around... Still really enjoy this album but some of the croon-ey, mopey, singing parts just rub me the wrong way to this day. Thus the .5 point docking for me.
Elvis Costello kinda always sounds the same to me. Which isn't altogether a bad thing. Just gives me pretty simple 50's rock n' roll vibes.
Generally kinda weird but not awful
Pretty generic moody voice with a bit more upbeat tone, overall just fine.
Monotone talk-singing mostly. Has a country twang with a bit of an alt flair to it. Enjoyed the music, but maybe not the singing so much.
Had no clue that I knew a couple songs by them when I started this album. Overall pretty mildly enjoyable outside of the couple bigger songs. 3.5
Hard not to love Steely Dan. Just so enjoyable to listen to!
It sounds like several other early punk albums from this timeframe. A lot of 'talky' vocals that are angsty and not really enjoyable to listen to. There must be something lyrically here that gives this album a good review but I don't really listen for that so it ain't working for me...
Kinda eerie and had some spooky vibes at times. Just unoffensive synth tones for the most part. Just fine.
Folksy country. Reminded me of some others I have heard but can't put a finger on what. Perfectly fine. 3.5
He's really got some great songs on this one. Obviously starts out with a hit but the rest are so enjoyable too!
There are moments in the album that are a lot heavier on the grunge than others. I didn't particularly enjoy those. But still many old favorites. 4.5
Beautiful old school country voice. 4.5
A lot of differing sounds on each tracks, but overall this was actually pretty pleasant to listen to.
Pretty great guitar throughout, definitely my favorite type in the 'metal' arena
Pretty much on par with this era of sorta grungy alt rock. Quite literally nothing shocking to me.
Not what I expected but mostly pretty boring and moody to me.
A smooth R&B vibe, soulful. Some more upbeat African pumpup too. 4.5
A tech-ey musical element with nonsensical lyrics. Just not my thing. Had some good rhythm which I didn't dislike.
Beautiful voice, really enjoyed the soothing nature of this. The last track (Boy from Tupelo) especially
Groovy and lots of his beautiful voice!
I'm sure there are things about this album that have a redeeming quality if you know the language. But I don't so my entire reaction to this is just 'WTF am I listening to and when will it end?'
The voice is hard to mistake from Come On Eileen. But this was all new to me. Some nice little ditties!
Smooth vocals, groovy vibe. Nice listen!
Ace of Spades just reminds me of Tony Hawk, haha. Overall a solid album, it doesn't hit hard or make me bounce around in my chair, but it's a good listen.
This album felt like it was all over. At times a grungy sort of rap, felt like Tribe almost, and then parts were like alt rock from the late 90s. Not a complaint, a perfectly enjoyable listen still
A synth-y sort of electronic music. A bit eerie at moments. Mostly pretty basic. Fine.
Really enjoyable, easy, listen.
Gave me some Elvis Costello vibes at times. It was fine.
Idk, I guess I listened to this but it was just... Spanish? Pleasant but whatever
Moody and melancholic at times. It wasn't 'bad' but I didn't love it either. 2.5
The music is pleasant and enjoyable. I just don't particularly love John's voice.
Mostly a bit oddball but fine. 3.5
Sing-songy, almost like it's a musical. Kinda fun to listen to for a random Thursday. 3.5
Honestly, this album goes way harder than I ever realized. The passion in the songs is evident. Also I cannot for the life of my figure out why 'I'll Be Waiting' is the least played song on this album. It's a jazzy, fun, bop. So good!
Nasally French voice that exudes a heavy passion for the storytelling. I catch words here and there, which is neat. Some cool background music too.
A little peculiar. Had some Indian vibes (I think a sitar?) towards the end, especially the last track. Nothing noteable for me personally but pleasant listen. 3.5
Has some feel of something like Ramones in the tone, but very annoying to listen to overall. Creaky music and scream-y. Just not my jam at all. 1.5
Decently peppy grunge vibes
Eh, the French part made me chuckle but the whole energy just wasn't for me. 1.5
All-time classic album. Just cover to cover great!
Pretty chaotic energy in this one, not a lot to love for me personally aside from some generally nice drum action
It's Indie female. At times almost brooding, some melancholy vibes, but overall fine. 2.5
A little folksy, a little early rock n roll. Reminded me of several different artists throughout the album. One notable one was Elvis Costello. Nice listen
High energy and great guitar. On the trash-y side but not overall too hard or hair banger. Really liked this listen!
Pretty mellow East coast vibes. A little punchy at moments, but never really reeled me in. 3.5
Ethereal in some ways. Sounds French without being in French, somehow. 3.5
The vocals dominate in a way that makes me feel like most songs are similar, his voice is just so powerful. But it's a really chill listen that I enjoyed still.
A bit like The Clash or maybe Talking Heads? Little bit poppy, very 80s feeling (despite being 79).
Gloomy and ethereal, but still pleasant. 3.5
Smooth overall sound. Great background music with a fun vibe
Really enjoyed this album front to back. Nothing about it was particularly supreme for me but Cornell's voice was amazing as always. Closest to 5 I can be without a solid 5 IMO.
Somber indie
You never really hear about how beautiful Willie's voice is but this album showcases that perfectly.
Sweet, melodic, folk tunes.
Every bit of 90's rock with a female lead that you'd expect. Similar to Sheryl Crow and Meredith Brooks in vibe for me. A good mix of some moody, some peppy.
Pretty unremarkable. I wouldn't be mad about it being on or anything but I wouldn't really notice either. 2.5
Sounds to me like standard Brit punk pretty much. Fine
Her voice is so dominant that I feel like their songs blend together in terms of overall sound. I enjoy that sound, however, so this was still a pretty good listen. 4.5
Just pretty boring angry metal, my least favorite kind of metal.
Had to listen on YT. Pro-tip: when you search for this album if you find it in the search results and select play directly from the Google window (under the Videos results), it will expand the video and play it *without* ads! (The video I found was uploaded by MazNour II.) I don't normally love live music as much, but something about this Thin Lizzy performance just really worked for me. Absolutely loved this from start to finish!
Classic old blue eyes. Really enjoyable listen
Pretty decent 90's grungey kind of alt rock. Nothing outstanding or bad. 3.5
Some of these low play counts surprised me. Enjoyed the album as a whole a good deal
What an exceptionally beautiful voice. Just so easy to listen to.
Lowkey R&B vibes with some reggaeton-esque moments. A little bit indie alt. 3.5
Quite beautiful without being as 'catchy' to my ears as I'd have imagined. 4.5
What a powerful voice she had
I like Arcade Fire just fine, but this album is just okay to me. 3.5
Just a nice little groove of an album
Perfectly good for the exact vibe I expect from Slipknot. But that doesn't mean I want to listen to it frequently really.
Passionate and a little groovy.
A nice little flair sprinkled throughout this.
In line with the other 3 Sonic Youth albums for me. Just pretty uninspiring for me.
Didn't find it to be super ear-catching but I did enjoy the listen. 3.5
Passionate vocal energy, rhythmic. Not something I'd listen to a lot, but a lot of beauty in this.
Kinda fun, alt indie mix
Every song just sounds like the same brooding, gravely, voice of his. It's not offensively bad or anything but it isn't anything special to me.
Kinda generic sounding 90's alternative.
Just some very good background jazz. 4.5
It's a milder sound than the Boss I love most, but not in a very bad way. Just different.
Eh, perfectly fine for what it is, just not for me.
Eh, it was fine but unremarkable
So many great songs on this album, hard not to rock out to this one!
A bit sing-songy - would not surprise me if this was made for or to be a musical? - but overall just a very pleasant and enjoyable album. 4.5
Calm and mellow, almost brooding at times. Just a little sad sounding. 2.5
This album is so smooth
Honky tonk vibes for the most part. Pretty relaxed vibe
This was a fun listen. Had some groovy pep to it, foot tapping jams. 4.5
Grungy, hard guitar. 3.5
Fun, a little like the Beach Boys and others of that era. 4.5
Fun poppy little album
Has some moments of great guitar. A bit odd ball at times. Overall a good listen if unexpected
Old country twang.
Not on Spotify. Good YT album available though! Pretty eclectic west coast rap vibes. Enjoyed quite a bit!
Classic 80's vibes. Feels like it could be the soundtrack to a John Hughes movie.
Beautiful sax all around
I've never quite been on the same Radiohead worship level as others, but I do think it's pretty enjoyable
A lot of Genesis I wasn't familiar with but the overall vibe matches my previous experience. Pretty solid all around but nothing groundbreaking for me either. 4.5
Whole album was a nice smooth ride. 4.5
Groovy and fun. Really loved this listen!
Psy-trance in some ways. Just good background vibe music.
Some of the more off the wall Beatles tunes but all pretty enjoyable 4.5
A bit of a folksy crooner.
Relaxing indie vibes. 3.5
Just a great classic rock album all around
Kind of grungy punk rock with less sharp edges.
Pretty great album. A couple songs not on Spotify?
A bit of a Brit pop punk kind of vibe. Gave me some Ramones feel. 4.5
Grungy punk rock. Upbeat but lacking some extra punch for my liking in particular. 3.5
Surprised myself that I'd never listened to this entire album. Pretty fun all around, just not something I'd go crazy for either
Pretty upbeat and fun, sounds just like the 80s era in this vein
Has a catchy synth-y 80's vibe. Voice reminds me of a young Michael Jackson. Spunky.
Solidly good all around but really only highly impressed by the album's title track. 3.5
Smooth and melodic. A bit sing songy at times but really enjoyed the listen.
Peppy and fun, enjoyed the rest of the album that was new to me!
Chaotic in a way that made my head spin. The album and artist names represent how odd this album is perfectly.
The slower more somber songs are good but vastly different and not as fun to listen to. But they do showcase that he had a really nice voice at least! 4.5
Soulful and low key for the most part.
It's all very beautiful and great energy. A fun listen, but damn it was long! 4.5
A bit of a crooner, a la Van Morrison almost? Just a low key and chill album that was pleasant but unremarkable overall. 3.5
Just a pretty fun album start to finish. Love the long outro track. Chicago just has a good vibe about them always.
A bit ethereal and trippy but a pretty nice background listen.
It's Bowie. He doesn't speak to me in quite the way he speaks to others (like my siblings) but he's so talented still. 4.5 for me.
First rate guitar. Love the accompaniments throughout too.
Great smooth background jazz. Would be a pleasant night at a club listening to this. 4.5
His gravely voice is a bit off putting at times, but there's some interesting story telling at play. The overall vibe is peculiar with some really weird moments, but as a whole it's not actually as bad as I thought it would be at the start. 3.5
Has some really great instrumentals. Enjoyed those a lot! The vocals leave something to be desired but I'd take more just for how fun I found the rest.
Grunge-y 90s rock. Sounds like it could have been in the soundtrack to something like Cruel Intentions. Perfectly good but nothing that struck me too much. 3.5
The opening tracks varied quite a bit from each other, I feel like the music took a hard left turn. Neither in a bad way, just flipped the script on me unexpectedly. The overall album has an uplifting chorus vibe with some nice instrumentation. Would listen again.
A groovy little album at times with some oddball moments. Pretty average as far as enjoyment went, but nothing bad about it. Solidly fine.
Has that distinct groovy rock feel from the early 80s. Reminded me of some other things I've heard that I know have come up in this project. Another Elvis Costello adjacent vibe album. 3.5
Felt like I was being serenaded by Cold War propaganda music that at times had some slight redeeming qualities. But no thank you still. 1.5
Great album, better than I remembered even outside of Rollin' being such a banger
Smooth southern blues rock. Love the Bonnie Raitt track. A nice mix of upbeat tunes.
Beautiful and soulful throughout. Really easy to just listen and vibe to.
Nick Cave just has this weird brooding thing for me. Pretty sure I said the same thing about a different album of his that I've had in this list. Reminds me of the vampire musical that is in the plot line of Forgetting Sarah Marshall.
Idk, just kinda fine? Didn't really pull me in in any way, but perfectly decent background tunes.
Great album, really fun to listen to from start to finish
Found this one to be slightly more 'listen-able' but I really just can't get over his voice. Not a big fan. 2.5
Kinda generic 90's alt grunge kinda sound. Didn't catch my ear much but wasn't bad. 2.5
A little groovy, nice guitar and instrumentals. His voice is great too. Tragic to find he died shortly after this album!
Pretty classic east coast rap vibes. A slightly grungy rap feel. Solid if not spectacular
Liked Backwater quite a bit. Really drew me in. Pretty high energy first havlf, which made it feel more enjoyable overall.
Generic rock from this era. British feel to it? Pretty generically fine.
Not quite what I would have expected from Miles Davis in my mind, but I still enjoyed the groovy background music it provided.
Groovy and classic Prince. He falls just short of my favorites, but still very good. 4.5
This feels like the Kings of Leon I know well (Only By The Night) but with a little less refinement. My listen tracks perfectly with the timeline of their albums too. Still really enjoyed this! 4.5
Pretty generically uninspiring rock to me. It wasn't bad, just didn't pull me in much either.
Had some instrumental bits that had a nice pep and sound to them, but the vocals I found to be terrible.
Generally pretty decent R&B but nothing that I need to listen to again.
My kind of classic rock. Very much hits that 70's era vibe from start to finish.
Had some great flow, fun to listen to
Outside of Good Times the rest is just kinda fine. Peppy but uninspiring for me. 3.5
Just not as big of a fan of JA as a lot of people I know I guess? It's decent but that's it for me. 3.5
U2 is and always will be just fine in my book. 3.5
Pretty standard 90's alt rock vibes. Pretty solid.
Was a big fan of this album back in the day. Still is pretty great. 4.5
Some fun little Irish jams.
Pretty modest and calm old school country vibes. Didn't push the needle for me but enjoyable nonetheless. 3.5
Several songs missing on Spotify, but didn't seek them out due to this being over 2 hours when complete. Whew. Overall a pretty weird album, not really much that caught my attention other than Genius of Love due to the many samples other songs use from it. 2.5
Distinctly 90's alt rock. Was a pretty solid album overall, would listen again.
Fine, but just fine.
Her voice is really beautiful. A really easy listen. 4.5
Voice gave me Cat Stevens vibes at times. Overall a nice album, kinda middle of the road energy wise but gave overall happy vibes.
Instant 5 for me. All-time great album. RIP Chester
Very mellow, low-fi kinda vibes. Been a while since I listened to their other main album but from what I recall it is very similar! 4.5
Groovy and fun Spanish flare. At the very least this was very fun to listen to!
A little groovy. Had some moments that reminded me of an Elvis Costello type voice? Nice little listen.
A bit of a Celtic vibe (might actually be?) with some nice peppy songs sprinkled in. Was a particular fan of 'And a Bang on the Ear'!
An overall solid album, just doesn't move me really
A great, classic, album. 4.5 for me
Just didn't really do much for me.
Made me want to dance a little. Seems like very good tango music!
Still listening to this but don't need to to know that it is a 5 for me. CCR all day!
Kinda fun and upbeat. No clue at all what they're singing about but it is a mix of an Indian vibe with some rock flair to it. 4.5
Kinda jazzy at times. A little bit of a foot tapper. Reminded me of someone else that I just can't quite put my finger on...
Most of the rest of the album was better than The Humpty. None if it was exceptional really but it was solid. 3.5
Maybe it's that this is a relatively newer album for Bob Dylan but goodness I hated his voice throughout this. Musically great, vocally awful.
Smooth R&B, nothing groundbreaking other than Back to Life. 3.5
Actually a pretty great listen for a live album, they're not usually my preference. 4.5
This whole album gives me big Beatles vibes. The vocals sound very familiar in that way to me, a bit like... I think it's Paul that it's reminding me of? But it could be Lennon and I'm just an idiot. Solidly enjoyable listen. 4.5
Pretty classic Peter Gabriel. Voice is pretty unique. 4.5
It's a pretty good album without blowing my mind. Solid 4.5 for me.
Just about all of this sounds like Beach Boys, which tracks. Fun stuff
It all just sounds the same, in a perfectly good and reasonable way.
Peppy and dancy. None of it made me really excited but it was a nice little jumpstart to my day.
His voice really sounds like RATM to me. Same music tone/vibe to me. 3.5
Perfectly fine
It's a bit of a sad album overall. Not particularly fun in any way.
A kind of smooth and melodic album. Easy listener without being great in any way to suck me in deeper.
One of my first ever albums so I didn't need to listen to know this would be a 5, but was glad for an excuse to re-listen!
Gives me a little bit of Leonard Cohen vibes? 2.5
Groovy and a bit of swank. Mostly solid but average to my ears. 3.5
Brooding and foreboding. An ominous listen that just isn't my cup of tea, though I can sense why it would be well received by others.
All of Beck sounds so similar to me. It's perfectly fine but nothing that's gonna excite me too much. 3.5
This definitely features Neil's voice more prominently. It's a nice album overall.
Fits right in with this era and genre but doesn't do much for me. Fine. 2.5
Her voice is pretty nice but her music doesn't do much for me.
Vibe sits right in that early 90's alt feel. Pretty okay.
Had a couple moments I got into the vibe but overall a pretty average album for me. 3.5
Standard early 90's alt to me. Nothing bad or great. 3.5
Pretty standard beachy vibes for their stuff. It's perfectly nice and enjoyable, but I'd never listen to this album straight through again either.
This one seemed like it had a little bit more energy than the one I had literally a week ago, so slight bump over that one but still only a 3.5 for me.
A bit 'yell-y' for my liking. Musically it's solid, but the singer just isn't my fav.
A fun listen, really good energy. None of the songs really caught my ear but I was enjoying it the whole time at least
60's era vibes for sure. A bit of a groovy synth feel. Perfectly fine.
He has such a beautiful voice that even without any songs that I really 'knew' I still really enjoyed just listening to this in the background of my work day. 4.5
This has a lot more of a Reggaeton vibe than I ever expected from UB40, just based on my only knowledge of them being 'Red Red Wine' prior to listening to this. Anyway, it's fine and nothing too exciting for me.
A bit of a skat-ty kinda vibe at times. Has a pretty generic sound to me but not in a bad way. Solidly ok. 3.5
Not as big of a fan of this one as the album prior to this but still a good listen for me
Went from Celtic to Indian vibes and all around. A bit like he was singing hymns or prayers at times? Pleasant to listen to at least
Vocally reminds me a little bit of The Cure. Perfectly nice listen. 3.5
A pretty solid, if generic, alt-rock feel for me. Just barely gonna give this a 4 over a 3.5.
Arcade Fire has never really moved the needle for me for some reason. It's a good listen but doesn't break through for me personally. 3.5
So similar to the Beatles, as intended. A perfectly pleasant and joyful sound.
One of those annoying 'talking as much as singing' kind of voices and albums. Musically I kinda liked it at several moments but not a voice that I love. It's like Wish.com Neil Young in some ways? 2.5
Angsty and a bit annoying to me
A little bit of a creepy vibe. Idk about this. (Fuck this is almost 2 hours long? Might be one of the few albums I haven't listened to in full...)
All pretty enjoyable to listen to with a vibe similar to Come On Eileen. I enjoy the vocals!
Just an insanely good album from start to finish. What a legendary album.
The good kind of early 90's rap. Flows that are simple but effective.
A little ethereal and trippy. Simple but just not my fav.
A bit of an oddball record overall, but inoffensive and decent to listen to
Distinctly early 90's alt vibes with a little less angst. Pretty uninspiring to me but overall solid. 3.5
High energy with vocals that verge on annoying at times. It's not my thing.
Quirky is the best way to describe this album. Still kinda fun. 2.5
Pretty classic James Brown. It's very good but it doesn't wow me in any real strong way.
Very oddball album. Creepy vibes at times. Fits the era for sure.
Always loved this album, just such good energy and some classically fun james!
Singer reminded me a little bit of Dave Grohl? A nice little alt album
A very solid album that just doesn't blow me away. Vibe and sound seem similar across it to me. Fun listen at least!
A bit funky and peppy. Pretty chill background listen. 3.5
Pretty groovy vibes. 4.5
A bit of a groovy thing. Pretty generally enjoyable to listen to without any real kick to it. 3.5
I had no clue they were *this* old of a band - I'd only ever heard their stuff from 2000 onward. Album wise, a familiar sound with some periods of brooding somberness. Enjoyed it.
Gave me Beatles vibes. Def fits the era's sound. Pleasant and calm. 3.5
Distinctly 80's vibes. A little weird how like half of this album is the same two songs in different variations. Nothing groundbreaking to me but alright. 3.5
Probably my favorite album from this project by an artist that I had zero awareness of prior to it coming up here. Mostly a 90's alt vibe but there was even a bit of a country twang to some of it. A fun listen!
Enjoyed the instrumentals on this. Soulful feeling lyrics and vocals.
Nothing that rocked my world but solidly enjoyable. 3.5
I thought I knew this album really well but apparently not as well as I thought. I find a lot of it to be really great, but there are definitely some duds too IMO. 4.5
Had to listen on YT. Fits the era sound-wise. Pretty fun at times. Enjoyable.
Solid album, not many of the traditional favorites but can't knock it still. 4.5
More instrumental focused grunge. Another that gives me 'could be in The Matrix' soundtrack vibes. 3.5
It all is easy to vibe to. She's got a soulful voice. 4.5
Groovy with a bit of a Sublime/311-esque vocal flow. Love the instrumentals. 4.5
Definitely 80's vibes. Vocals remind me of something like Joy Division or a similar group. Easily could be featured on a soundtrack to a Hughes film. 3.5
Didn't pull me in the same way that Your Arsenal did, but the voice is the same one that I really enjoyed in that. Solid 4 this time.
The great Van Halen sound I love.
Very cool listen. A bit of a synth psychedelic feel to the finish which I really dug. A bit up and down as far as how much I enjoyed it, but overall a cool album
A bit weird. Gave me Talking Heads vibes I think? Not my jam but had a couple interesting moments.
Just a really smooth classic rock album. Big fan of a lot of this album. 4.5
A sweet melodic album for the most part. Easy listening and smooth.
It's all that I expect from Talking Heads. The voice isn't nails on a chalkboard for me, but it's not something I really love either. 3.5
Never really appreciated just how many Beatles songs that I really liked were sung by George until I listened to this. A lot of this felt like it was just the Beatles itself, mostly just pleasant and calm vibes. 4.5
This is all a bit low key but not in a bad way. Just more emphasis on her pure vocals I feel like. Really chill and enjoyable listen! 4.5
Just a fun, groovy album. Pretty sure I enjoyed previous album(s) by Fela Kuti also! 4.5
Fits this 60's era softer rock feel with a bit of jive thrown in.
It's McCartney, so it's pretty easy to enjoy and great. 4.5
Very sing-songy. Was this a musical? Or something more like an opera? Very beautiful voice. I don't need to listen to this again, but it was a pretty listen. 3.5
It's all Garbage. Not in a bad way. It's just a sound that is familiar across the album. Solid and enjoyable without really knocking my socks off.
Signature Morrissey voice that I've now discovered and really enjoy.
Sounds so very Beatles adjacent to me. Enjoyable.
The somber stuff is brutal to listen to, very sad. The upbeat stuff makes my feet all tippy-tappy, great Irish energy. 4.5
It all kinda blended together and sounded like Cars with different lyrics. 3.5
Some fun peppy songs that my ears perked up to, good instrumentals.
Eh, idk. Kinda boring to me, and there were times where there was a weird reverb thing going on that bothered my ears. Not atrocious but just not for me.
Gave me Talking Heads vibes a little. Was a good listen
Easily gets a 5 without even needing to listen to it. But I still did. Also highly recommend the 'You're Wrong About' podcast's episode about this album. What a messy group and album to create, but what a beautiful thing they created!
It threw me a bit because it's mostly in Spanish as far as I can tell, but there were snippets of English and French sprinkled in to some songs. A nice little peppy album for the most part, the kind of music I'd like to move around and dance a little to
Couldn't decide if this gave me Missy vibes or someone else but damn the flow was *on point*!
It's U2. I like it just fine but it doesn't move mountains for me
He had a much more enjoyable voice than I ever really think about. This had some nice moments vocally that made me realize that fact.
A fun little ditty. Makes me want to swing
Pretty standard stuff from Aerosmith. I like it but it doesn't rock my world either.
Some solid flows. East coast vibes to me?
Pretty generically fits into this era of music. Voice is nice but not much else does it for me. 3.5
I was digging the simplicity of the music here. Good energy without being overpowering. 4.5
Calm and easy listening. Reminds me a bit of Sufjan Stevens. 3.5
The voice just grates at my ears. Radiohead is just mopey to my ears. I'm sure there's some great depth to the actual lyrics but that's not what I listen to so it just doesn't land for me.
Absolutely fantastic album. Love Peter Gabriel
Did not enjoy as much as the previous Byrds album I heard on this project, but still a perfectly solid listen. 3.5
Smooth crooning. Nothing that makes me super excited but a very nice easy listen. 3.5
A lot of really good tracks that showcase just how great her voice is.
It all has the same lyrical spoken word vibe to me. None of it really pulled me in sound wise. I'm sure if I listened to it more closely I'd see the lyrics for their message but that's not how I listen to these albums...
Just a little weird but had a fun little groove to it too. 2.5
Smooth listening. Pleasant to my ears without being anything I love extra special. 3.5
Honestly can't say I knew any of the other songs, but it was a great listen. 4.5
A bit techy sounding. Not bad, sounds like a new-age 90's movie?
Now this is a fantastic album. I love the vibe and how smoothly it all flowed together. The interview at the end of the Special Edition of the album was also a really great listen!
I expected this to be 'harder' than it is due to the artist name, but it was really just a pretty standard, easy-going, 60-70's rock feel. Perfectly good without knocking my socks off either. 3.5
She's a bit of a crooner but it didn't bother me. Just a perfectly pleasant album to listen to. 3.5
A few obvious standouts from the rest of the album but overall something I really enjoy for the musical talent.
Just a touch of twang, nice easy listen.
More sensual (for lack of a better word at the moment) sounding than I ever realized from them. It's got a little bit of a groovy funk to it.
Pretty generic folksy rock to me.
A sort of funky Brit rock. Interesting and a little fun.
I like the musical sounds but not the vocals. The 'yelling brashly' vocal style just isn't for me. 2.5
Had to cobble together a listen since it's not on Spotify, but YT has a playlist that is all but two of the songs. I had to seek out E'Dir E'Sseba & El Harba Wine separately but I'm glad I did, particularly for the former. A really fun peppy tune! Overall the album flows nicely, really good vocal sound and enjoyable instrumentation too!
Loved the guitar and instrumentals here. 4.5
The second this started I thought 'fuck, that's Tom Waits again' - and not in a very good way. Pretty shocked I gave one of these a 4.5?! The gravelly voice grates at me still but there's definitely something about the story telling and music that stops me from fully hating it...
It's the same candy pop that I remember. A few bops but the moody stuff is still not my fav
Pretty alright, a little bit of a peppy rock flair. 3.5
Vocals from all three are really nice in this one. It's not something I'd listen to often, but will enjoy when I do hear parts of it again in the future.
I just can never get behind Björk fully. I can tilt my head around and see the appeal, but I just don't like the somber, lilting, vibe of it all. 2.5
There's just such a fun energy to this album. The vocal fry of the lead singer lends to the subtle sarcasm that the album projects to me. 4.5
A few elite songs mixed in among a really great album to listen to generally. Love the emotion his songs evoke so easily.
I believe this is a sitar and I love the sound. The covers were a bit whatever to me and I enjoyed the music that was unique but all around really enjoyed. 4.5
You could easily convince me that this was the Rolling Stones. Very similar vibe and sound.
Great album to just vibe out and chill to.
A smooth jazz feeling album with mellow vocals. Not at all what I expected based on the album cover and artist name, but pretty pleasant for the start of my day!
A light techy-vibe, sound has a little bit of bounce to it. Nice overall groove to it.
Love Peter Gabriel. Which is probably the exact same note that I left on his other album in this project...
As with other Nick Cave albums, I find it to be a bit brooding. This one less over the top in that sense at least. 2.5
Smooth and easy listening. Enjoyed his voice.
A great album and definitely a fan of the best version of WYTWM
Great guitar, good groove, fun and funky!
Very 80's. A vibe that reminds me of Bowie just in the slightest I think. 3.5
Love a lot of this album
All Coldplay sounds the same to me and it’s perfectly fine. 3.5
It’s like Rancid almost? Nothing special about it that pulled me in though
Really didn't know this side of Rundgren. It fits nicely with the other greats of the era. 4.5
Rocks pretty hard, don't love the live half as much but a great energetic listen.
A solidly enjoyable listen. Fits this era nicely. Great for an artist I don't think I know anything by. 4.5
A lot of this was missing from Spotify. With most albums, I seek those songs out. In this case, I get the drift enough to just rate with the 50% or so that I could easily access. Pretty upbeat early techno/house vibes. Fun.
Angsty Brit pop-vibes. Brit thing may just be the singer's vocal fry but that's the feel I get an I'm not gonna Wiki it to see if I'm right or not. 3.5
It's just smooth and mellow. A very 'walking through a park on a sunny spring day' kind of album.
Had a couple of shifting vibes but overall a nice steady rhythm and mellow sounds. Pretty solid.
Very soulful and great musically. Enjoyed this listen!
All around great album, an easy, fun, listen.
Just an all around solid listen but it didn't knock my socks off in any major way either. 4.5
Very mellow jam-band vibes. A little like some Dead that I enjoy. 4.5
A little bit of a Ramones kind of punk rock sound. Solid energetic album.
Just too mopey and moody for my liking.
It's all so similarly beautiful. His voice is just fantastic.
I couldn't figure out who it reminded me of, but I really dug the vibe of this. A little grunge-y new alternative kind of feeling? Will re-visit TWOD for sure after this
Liked the fun, peppy, energy of this one overall.
This was such a fun and groovy album to listen to. Really dig this. Adding to my ISO for vinyl list!
I wonder if anyone else noticed the inconsistency with the volume in the recording? Or was it just my Spotify playback when I was listening? Either way, love this album. The rock and energy of this are just so fun!
Groovy with some great rock guitar. I'd love this on vinyl so adding to my wishlist! 4.5
He's got a good twang that I find pleasant and enjoyable. 4.5
This one is a pretty somber and mellow album overall. Not a bad thing but also just doesn't make me as excited as other stuff by The Boss.
Solid but not blowing my socks off either.
I could listen to Fats many, many, times. Just so easy to enjoy.
I feel like I'm in the minority but I only *like* Wu-Tang, but I don't love Wu-Tang.
Quite the fun album. Reminds me a bit of MGMT. Would definitely re-listen.
Nothing too special to me
A solid flow and background instrumentals.
Pretty easy listen, pleasant and enjoyable but that's about all. 3.5
There are quite a few classic bangers on here but even the rest that I didn't know at all was great!
A good little funky ditty.
A bit of a funky thing. Pretty solid listen.
Just classic BB King. Easy to listen to, plenty enjoyable. 4.5 for me
Dig the energy and vocals of this one. It's a great upbeat listen. 4.5
Aside from the couple of classics on this, I just really don't connect with it much. Her voice is a bit grating to me so hearing it for this many songs in a row got old. The tech-y musical notes were fun and so very 80's though. 3.5
Gives me a ton of Nick Cave vibes. Which is not really a compliment from me. Musically it has a mostly pleasant sound, but that crooning voice just grates at my ears a little too much.
Album that is out of my breadth for vocals, but it's got a fun energy to it. 3.5
A couple oddball tracks, but overall a pretty solid listen, electronic vibes, album.
She has a beautiful voice and musically this was very pleasing to listen to. It's a bit crooning so not something I'd want to listen to frequently, but I liked it a good deal.
Not as big of a fan of this one as my previous Tim Buckley, but still enjoyed the listen.
The flow and sound are steady throughout, but just b/c it is there doesn't mean I liked it that much. Idk, just not a big fan.
What a fantastic voice. I had probably only ever heard 2-3 of these songs before but I really loved this listen. There's a really soulful bend to much of this. Really enjoyed.
The vocals are all that very familiar sound of Bittersweet Symphony with a harmonious, lilting, musical side.
First song reminded me of the Neighborhood of Make Believe due to the heavy xylophone usage. I could just be mis-remembering that though. A pretty pleasant listen, lots of good instruments playing in harmony in some less typical ways.
Really long but a great live album. The Duke sure knew how to play. 4.5
Eh, it's got a few moments of fun grooving but overall it didn't really move me a lot. 3.5
This has a fun little vibe to it. Really had some good grooving going on! 4.5
Very solid Neil but far from my favorites from him. Just a little 'less' somehow. 4.5
Standard Brit rock vocal feel. Nothing bad but nothing standing out too positively either.
Had a few songs I really vibed with. Overall a pretty solid and mellow rock album.
Pretty standard 90's alt grunge kind of feel. Perfectly fine to me.
Showcases his really great voice a good bit. Something about it left me wanting just a little but otherwise a great album. 4.5
Really loved this album back in the day. Still a big fan but I can tell that it's also lost some of that old luster for me as well. 4.5
Mellow vibe. Pretty calm overall sound which meant it never drew my ears fully in, but it was a nice easy listen for my work day. 3.5
A little bit of a twangy feel good rock. Fine but didn't move the needle for me.
There were quite a few periods of this album that just left me asking 'wtf is this' but also a few periods of actually enjoyable music. 2.5
The whole thing has a bit of a mopey feeling to it. 2.5
Had some moments that the vocals reminded me of The Cars somehow? Overall something that is just fine by me but not moving the needle. 3.5
A standard vibe from a talented, empowered, female rapper. Powerful lyrics with a pronounced message, good flow. Not something I would listen to regularly but I can definitely see why it got recognized here.
I like this album plenty but Green Day falls short of 5 star worthy for me generally.
I have a hard time saying what this sounded like to me, but it had some good moments. 3.5
Has that distinct 90's alt sound to it with a little less energy. I like the sound pretty well still
Angsty punk that feels similar to Ramones. A few of the songs were catchy in their vibe
Nothing mind blowing but an easy listen to glide through. Angsty chick punk pup essentially.
This album was seriously so fun! All of the high-energy, positive, vibes. Definitely adding to my record collection someday.
The Boss sounds so similar across all of these tracks. It's an easily enjoyable and lovely listen but it also didn't drive me crazy. 4.5
Really enjoyed the more jazzy aspects of this album. A few new-wavey feeling parts that were a bit a nice spice mixed into the overall sound.
For an album from the 1993, this felt very 80's. Which is very accurate for PSB I think. Nothing stood out for me while at the same time it was perfectly nice. 3.5
It bugged me the whole time I was listening that it sounded so familiar but The Cult doesn't sing the song that I kept thinking back to. (And I couldn't place it...) anyway, this album was great. Tons of positive energy and great guitar. Loved it.
A lot of familiar old, jivey, kind of jams. Not sure if they're the original artists for them but they're all fun little ditties to groove to.
It's all solid and the rap flows nicely, but there's just a little something to it that doesn't pull me in.
Has a nice little foot-bouncing kind of feel to it.
Not the EATB that I'm used to from their other big album. A bit darker feeling? Not bad just not a huge fan of it either. 3.5
A sort of electronic-twang thing going on that was pretty fun to listen to.
Just some beautiful crooning from Ray across the whole album.
The sound of this album is consistent throughout, seems well produced. I don't think I'd care to listen to it a lot but it had some moments I enjoyed a lot. Solid 3.5
The whole album has the distinct vocals that we know from 'Brass In Pocket' (TIL that's the name of that song) with a bit of a groovy, upbeat, rock flair. Fun album. 4.5
A lilting and mysterious vibe, with a bit of a frenetic tone at times. I enjoyed it but the vibes made my ears annoyed a couple times.
Didn't really take it to a level that made me really excited, but a solid batch of classic rock featuring the noteworthy No More Mr. Nice Guy.
Very standard punk vibe from this era. Good, not great. 3.5
I'd never heard this album before and it's genuinely unique in sound. The rock blended with the lyrical flow is very different. But still not mind blowing for me.
It all sounds pretty similar to me, which is perfectly solid for an album. Not a 5, but enjoyed a lot.
Never realized before just how much Bonnie Raitt and Sheryl Crow sound alike at times, but Bonnie is a bit more soulful I think
Had some synth-y vibes, pleasant but uninspiring to me. 3.5
Great album. Steady sound, fun vibe, and a few classics that I love.
Reminded me of some other 80s era new wave-y stuff. Enjoyed the listen without feeling too blown away. Solidly a 3.5+ for me so we'll go 4 this time.
The whole album has a fun sound to it, well curated and it flowed well. 4.5
Sound reminds me of something a bit like... I think The Cure is who I'm thinking of? Decent listen, very 80's feel to it. 3.5
Passionate vocals, sweet general vibe. Vocally she reminds me so much of Sheryl Crow.
There's a bit of an unhinged feeling to it at times, frenetic. Overall a perfectly fine listen, but the voice gets to feel a bit grating to me too.
Pretty generic 80's rock. The singers vocals lean British to me I feel, even though they're American. 2.5
A bunch of familiar tunes that I didn't realize had bongos in them, or that could be played this way so well? A nice little album to listen to during my work day.
His voice is iconic and great, but this album is lacking in any real firepower for me. Just a perfectly solid album but short of greatness for me.
A great album. Missing some of the really heavy hitters that AC/DC is beloved for, but a lot of the middle tier stuff that still gets the vibes up high. They're a classic for me.
Parts of the sound reminded me of The Flobots. A bit of a peppy album, a fun but otherwise kinda of generic album to me. 3.5
It all sounds pretty fun, I was surprised to see such a high play count for Wall Street Shuffle compared to the rest.
A little groovy thing. Recognized a tune or two surprisingly. Didn't get me too excited but I enjoyed moments. 3.5
A soft and smooth album. A lot of very pleasing to the ears songs.
Reminds me of LCD Soundsystem, especially vocally. 3.5
Beautiful sound, easy listen
The standout songs are popular for a reason. The rest are pure Dolly in sound, but less moving overall. Still a very good album.
Fantastic album, front to back.
Reminds me of something like The Proclaimers? Pretty standard alt rock sound for the era. Solid and enjoyed it.
Pretty typical vibe for the era. Liked the rest of it more than Karma Chameleon though, weirdly. A bit fun and happy sounding.
This album just went on forever. Not really the worst thing, but I did get tired of the peppy vibe by the end. There were some vocal moments that reminded me of Bowie.
All a swingy kinda soulful sound. Easy listen that didn't wow in any way either. 3.5
I can't recall if I said the same thing about another Morrissey album but it reminded me so much of something like The Cure (there's another better comp that is escaping me as I type this.) A little melodic fun thing. Nice.
A little difficult to get a listen of the full album as most of it isn't on Spotify, but from what I got on YouTube... meh, this album is just kind of a dud for me. 2.5
A classic album, lots of greats in this one.
Just a little weird. Musically it was okay, but I didn't enjoy the vibe at all.
Eh, perfectly fine classic rock feel but overall nothing that really caught my attention. 2.5
Techy electronic music. Feels like it could have been the soundtrack for The Fifth Element. Good for background listening, but not my favorite of that type either. 3.5
Had to listen on YT. A little bit groovy and funky at times. Kinda nice energy to it. 3.5
Just so beautiful throughout. Easy to listen to and relax.
It kind of reminds me of like maybe The Kinks? Had some moments that were a bit frenetic. Idk, the energy of this album just didn't jive with my ears. 2.5
The whole album has a cool and relaxing vibe. Her voice is pleasant to listen to, but it also just doesn't really excite me much.
For me it borders between rock and punk in a way that feels a little lost at times. There were a couple glimpses of sound I liked but the rest just kind of existed to me. I guess this time (1990) would make sense to be on that edge of rock vs alternative in sound?
Soulful from start to finish. Really enjoyed this listen, even if it's not something I'm likely to return to. 4.5
Groovy. I enjoyed the listen, not something I'll go back to often but EW&F are undeniably great in their genre! 4.5
A classic voice. Easy to listen to and enjoy the whole album just by sitting and having it in my ears.
Didn't know what to expect with this but man, I really liked this album. The whole thing had a good energy and really kept me interested.
I like George Jones, but I just don't love him the same way I like similar artists from his era. A solid album that just doesn't move me the same.
Pleasant melodies. Didn’t know what to expect but enjoyed a few of these tracks for sure.
