Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not

Popular Reviews

Dirty

Sonic Youth

1/5

No. I can't understand why you would learn how to play an instrument to turn around and make shit like this. I want to sue them.

Arctic Monkeys

5/5

Just excellent. Laidback meaningful lyrics to fun, fast tempo-ed, smoothly played rock.

Portishead

5/5

This is what music is supposed to be. Beautifully composed, edited and sung. I can see how this was the springboard for trip-hop and I thoroughly enjoyed the sampling. Overall, this is nearly a perfect album.

Stevie Wonder

5/5

This album is amazing! I can't believe how great Stevie Wonder's music is. What a genius. I can see all the influences he's had on musicians.

...And Justice For All

Metallica

3/5

Loved the music. Not a huge fan of the lyrics, if you can consider them that. But damn is the music technical and awesome.

Blue

Joni Mitchell

1/5

The beauty of this album is layered in music and lyrics, however, the lyrics are damaged by Mitchell's vocal reach and the music at times does not seem to support the lyrics, and is simply a light exercise in composing. I don't think the music supported or enhanced the music and was simply a backdrop. Not bad though for someone who wrote the music and lyrics to the entire album herself.

Virgin Suicides

Air

1/5

Um, wtf. That was horrible. If I didn't already hate Sofia Coppola films, I would now. How is that in the 1,001 albums to listen to, unless music is really bad. What is happening in the world?!

Speakerboxxx/The Love Below

OutKast

3/5

The album(s) had some fantastic songs, but also many songs felt experimental. I think that's ok for maybe one or two songs, or a mixtape, but for a studio album, you really have to already be a fan of the band to not be thrown off by experimental songs like this. Andre 3000 is not a singer, btw.

Ten

Pearl Jam

4/5

Mad jams! I can't believe how many hits this album had. For Grunge music, this is probably top 3. Wow, well done.

Shadowland

k.d. lang

3/5

Music was enjoyable. K.D. Lang has a nice smooth voice, and I'd listen to her again. Not really my style, but was nice background music.

Raw Like Sushi

Neneh Cherry

2/5

I have no idea what's going on. But this sounds like it was a banger in the 80s. Good for her?

Cosmo's Factory

Creedence Clearwater Revival

4/5

Fun album with a lot of great songs. And some Jam Band stuff too. Very pleasing.

Talking Book

Stevie Wonder

5/5

This album is amazing! I can't believe how great Stevie Wonder's music is. What a genius. I can see all the influences he's had on musicians.

Killing Joke

1/5

Um, nah. I'm not listening to this. Too metal for me man. It does make me want to listen to the Arctic Monkeys though, so here I go!

Dirty

Sonic Youth

1/5

No. I can't understand why you would learn how to play an instrument to turn around and make shit like this. I want to sue them.

To Pimp A Butterfly

Kendrick Lamar

4/5

Songs In The Key Of Life

Stevie Wonder

5/5

Stevie Wonder is one of the most talented musicians I have ever heard. I'm grateful for this list solely on the fact that I was introduced to his music. Thank you!

Dummy

Portishead

5/5

Ramones

3/5

For an album that was barely a half-hour long, it was pretty good. I don't feel like I know the band any more than I did before listening, but I enjoyed it.

Electric Ladyland

Jimi Hendrix

3/5

Great guitar. Album was ok. I don't think Hendrix was a complete composer, so it felt very one-sided.

Fisherman's Blues

The Waterboys

2/5

Not really for me, but the music was good.

At Folsom Prison

Johnny Cash

5/5

Johnny Cash is the real deal. This is one of the coolest albums I've ever listened to. I love the crowd work, and you can tell he was playing for each individual in that room. Great great great work!

Live At The Regal

B.B. King

5/5

Dope. I don't think I've ever listened to a Blues album before, but to start with the best was a treat. I hope to hear a lot more blues in the future.

Oxygène

Jean-Michel Jarre

1/5

Can I give something zero stars? No, I'm just kidding, it wasn't that bad. It felt like Ross made an entire album with his soundscapes. Not my style, but to each his own.

Kenya

Machito

2/5

Alright. Great background music.

Follow The Leader

Korn

4/5

As good as I remember. They can play the shit out of some music!

Let's Stay Together

Al Green

4/5

Pretty good soul? album. Very nice voice, and enjoyable to listle to.

Kind Of Blue

Miles Davis

2/5

The music was fine, just a little slow for my taste.

Let Love Rule

Lenny Kravitz

3/5

Great music for a one-man show. I didn't realize Kravitz was so soft rock when he started. I feel bad only knowing him for his amazing cover. He's a great writer.

Remedy

Basement Jaxx

1/5

I can't listen to this.

I Never Loved a Man the Way I Love You

Aretha Franklin

3/5

More Songs About Buildings And Food

Talking Heads

4/5

Great album. Some really bumpin tracks.

Stankonia

OutKast

2/5

I thought the production was pretty good, but overall, the lyrics didn't speak to me, and it felt like an exercise in speed rapping. More is not better, especially if what you're saying is mostly meaningless.

The Hissing Of Summer Lawns

Joni Mitchell

2/5

Production value was better. Still don't care for the music. Joni Mitchell does not speak to me.

Who's Next

The Who

4/5

Some great songs. Double album way too long to appreciate. First half was boss

Ocean Rain

Echo And The Bunnymen

2/5

Fine. Not for me.
