ok, heard some of these before as classics. a bit yobby

spoken word, poppy, hard to get into at first but quite liked overall

i mean it's rumours, i already like it and would probably have it in my top 50 albums of all time, one of those albums you can listen to anytime

not bad, pretty old sk00l funky thing, imo 'le freak' doesn't actually fit with the album too much and is arguably it's worst song (holy shit the album version is 5:30 long, it gets old by two minutes in) fav track: happy man

the first of the "new metallica" after Cliff's death, don't like it as much as MoP / RtL but it's a good album! fave track: eye of the beholder

maybe i was simply not in the mood but this is just noise and wailing. at least the instrumentals dont suck least bad song: jackie wilson said

> female vocals > i simp > but it's spoken word > mfw fav track: free money

when was this made ah yes the 60s makes perfect sense trippier than expected but honestly, no amount of drugs would carry this fairly mediocre album. im sure it was good for its time fave track: balloon burning (sounds like an ancient king gizz song)

ehhhh this is the album equivalent of a weetabix served with lukewarm tap water

the man can sing and carries this album. some of the instrumentals are a little bland. if i listened to this 5 times it might become a 5. fav song: dream brother

whoever decided this album was a good idea should "blast off". it's the sort of music you would hear in a movie when the protag walks into a seedy dive bar to help you get the vibe for how shit the place is some of the instrumentals are decent but, it's too little too late. im sure in the 80s this was good, its not good now.

a really nice house(?)/techno(?)/??? record. a pleasure to listen to. sick drums. maybe a little too vocal for my tastes and it loses a bit of its punch towards the second half. fav track: Banstyle also, going by the vocals from "pearl's girl" this is the band that did "born slippy" as famous from trainspotting

starts off funky. sounds like music from "the sims" at times (especially Percolator) I was sad when the album finished as I wouldn't mind more.

OVERRATED, 2.5 from me don't @ me yes it has some bops. yes it invented trip hop. it's not that good an album fav track: strangers

very inoffensive, struggle to find anything wrong with it but at the same time, it doesn't really impress?

fine, song writy stuff

funky. some tracks go on a bit, but overall enjoyable. (3.5)

luv me punk it's a classic alert. definitely an album that started a lot and still holds up surprisingly well, while not sounding exactly modern it still sounds crisp, pleasanat and relevant. not a daily driver but nice in a while

nice! reminds me kind of white lies. the vocal style is interesting especially having two very different singers I thought the album didn't actually flow that well and felt a little disjointed. fav track: all the kings men

reggae innit did you know jamaica is running out of weed? https://news.sky.com/story/jamaicas-marijuana-shortage-branded-a-cultural-embarrassment-12209752

it was alright, nothing amazing but a pleasant listen. 2.5

I didn't manage to listen to the whole thing unfortunately

starts with cult of personality? yeah boiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii pretty decent, 3.5? makes me want to play san andreas again

nothing offensive, but very forgettable?

i'm quite surprised by how much I liked this. lots of tracks sound fresh and relevant which is impressive given this is nearly 40 years old. funky, catchy, easy to listen to with a nice range of songs. i could see it going up to a 5 with more listens fav track: something in the water,

i don't listen to much beatles, but this is what the beatles sound like in my head based on their image. is this a beatles clone from the same time period or something innovative before their time? 2.5 - inoffensive, short and tolerable

not as good as the other prince album, but like with 1999 i could see this being a grower.

bangers all round, nice to see where all these classics come from as i have heard many of the songs on this before. i liked it a lot, i actually liked it so much i listened to it again. I think some of the songs would get old after time. 4.5 fav track: save a prayer

i like it! jazzy, catchy rhythms, smooth.

show biz kids was a bit annoying. sounds like a different record to the other steely dan one. (thanks jesse for pointing out it was the same band ...) not bad, not great? 2.5

the other bob marley seemed to sit better with me. This was mostly wailing

LJ would like this. 1.5

short, punchy, catchy and rythmic tracks, just as you get into it a new track comes in. sounds really clean (but i guess that's the remaster) really enjoyable, can see why this punk thing caught on...

id love this on a saturday afternoon. mellow and easy on the ears. not a bad record, can't think of too much wrong with it. murder mystery was a bit much with the different voices 3.5

middle is good but tracks 1, 5 and 6 fucking suck maybe if i was drunk it would sound better

lighthearted fun, makes your head bob and some of the lyrics are surprisingly wholesome. little weak towards the end (e.g 2much 2 young), solid 3.33 (recurring)

pretty average 2.5

i like a few of the songs, but this really doesn't flow like an album should. it's more of a dodgy mixtape. cannot give it more than a 3

i like the instrumentals quite a lot but the voice just really doesn't do it for me. It sounds like a budget "the national" but kind of fake and just not good? a bunch of the songs sound familiar - definitely heard DLZ before (maybe on Mr Robot?) ah, i looked it up and it's Breaking Bad • S2E10 from 2009, the 'stay out of my territory' scene :) other than that one track i actually have very little desire to listen to this again even though i feel it could grow on me. 1.5

nice piano mellow loungey jazz variety of vocals is nice some of the later tracks were a bit too bluesy? but i liked it 3.5

not as good as some of their earlier stuff. lacks a bit of the magic / soul that they used to have. still a decent listen - 3.5?

alice's kind of 'theatre rock' is not everyday listening but the album is well polished and flows nicely. i heard he's a lot of fun live 3.5

light hearted, short and sweet. sounds a bit like johnny cash but it's all nashville country innit.

folky, alright but not very memorable? the bonus tracks gave me deja vu

how many times can someone say nigga the tracks with flying lotus / thundercat are groovy as fuck. some other tracks have their moments but ones like 'alright' drag the album down quite a bit. it's also pretty long for a rap album.

manic piano, poor quality recording and crowds jeering? no thanks, 1.5

eh some ok tracks but loses points for the "n word" 2.5

nice album cover lol holy bland, on every song either the instrumentals or the vocals just let the song down. 2

on the whole pleasant but it didn't seem to have much identity as an album. is this dnb? is it... trip hop? i dunno? 3

not that bad, some of the tracks are a bit of a slog to get through (slavery days) but some (jordan river) are actually good.

death grips samples hehe cult album with very many references in later works by other artists. not as good as sex pistols. 3.5

surprisingly enjoyable.

real mixed feelings on this, sometimes there are cacophonies, but some tracks (burst) are pretty good. in fact, second half is a lot better i think.

2.5

unpleasantly long, not cohesive and just strange

not bad, would probably listen to again

didn't really resonate with me, found it pretty dull.

a bit weird, especially some of the lyrics. the instrumentals are fine, i like 'everybody knows'. I think on the whole i like it, it's something different

"romance" themed funk... marvin is pretty good but this album is a bit samey and goes on for too long.

bit of bowie, not his best, a bit kinky. but still decent. 3.5

CLASSIC ALERT one of the first albums i regularly listened to, back in high school. (though i usually listened to my whole collection on shuffle)... anyway, i already know it quite well. there is not really a bad track on this, some are overplayed sure (teen spirit) but the rest are relatively less known and very very good. it's close to a 5....

eh

nice blues, shitty live version. even despite that it is good enough for a 3

's alright

my favourite part was when it fucking finished

sick guitar but just feels a bit dated at this point

started off weird but i got into it. i think the vocals are a bit weak to get to a 4 but a couple of the tunes (x-ray eyes) are catchy

needs to come with a trigger warning, the first track is the theme to "jamie's 15 minute meals" pretty dated hiphop but fairly enjoyable

fantastic example of 70's rock from the UK, some really classic tracks on here. not a 5 but a dece 4

i dont think i listened to all of it in the end cos work got in the way, but it was some 80s, not that bad?

like a bit of nina - this is fine.

it did not bring me much joy

i know this one :) not a bad track on it, good variety, great instrumentals, unique style. tempted to 5 it

this made me see the light really tight album with lots of pleasant elements solid 4, nice

another one from raf's high school years (oh god) i like vol3 from slipknot a bit more than this as a cohesive album, this has some good songs though.

i like some of their more recent stuff. this is actually pretty dated but some very solid electronic music. not sure which genre to class this as, it's a bit all over the place but with a debut album i guess they didn't have a clear identity? i like this but im not sure it tips into a 4

i like wu tang, i like 36 chambers and this has more of the same method man aesthetic. a defining 90s hip hop album

its alright. sounds quite dated

the first track (and the last) both gave me a major headache. this has some potential in places but is otherwise unfortunately just onanistic 60s drivel. #boomerreview

not bad. reminds me of (the band) beach house good vibes and a decent contender for another listen

monotone british man moans into microphone

folky, some nice tunes and nice demonstrations of the singer's talent but at times it gets a bit screechy reasonably pleasant to listen to but ultimately forgettable, none of the songs grabbed my attention and that is a shame

warming and gentle, this was a pretty mellow record nothing outstanding but very little to complain about, solid 3

it was a 3 until space cowboy hit funky music but the vocals dont really do it for me

i know this one :) this is one of the best hip-hop albums of all time, for me. it has a unique sound, great lyrics, terrific delivery, is catchy and never gets old. the only criticism i have of it is that some of the skitty bits between the tracks are a bit over the top or dated, but its a very solid 4 for me

holy moly this album has a lot of banging singles on it, to be honest i had no idea this is where they came from and that these were all from the same band. very decent blend of r&b / disco that i will almost definitely listen to again (even if as singles..)

this is not too bad, the tracks are alright and it flows fairly well, would need a few more listens and maybe its get a 4?

this was actually, fairly epic. very solid very pretty tracks. i have heard of this record and a few of the songs before.

MUCORE ALERT decent album, pioneered its genre, inspired billions, yadda yadda i do find it a little bit grating and not something i want to listen to often but it's a damn good album

not too bad, some tracks reminded me of muse, others of radiohead. however it fell a bit flat

boring and annoying indie drivel

some recognizable tracks, nice beachy rocky punky number. 3.5 from me

didnt realise this album was so recent. love depeche but have not listened to a full album, only singles. this is really good, strong 4.5

some of his later stuff is a bit better (Runnin' Down A Dream) but this is still alright

classic alert :) i like this a lot very strong opening track one of my favourite uni memories is when suffragette city got played at crash and me and another guy were rocking out to it :D i think its a 5 because you can put this on anytime and i will be in the mood for it, and it will make me smile

really solid actually

nah

pretty good, like a strong 3? no strong identity but inoffensive and alright im running out of vocab for the reviews, can you tell

fairly enjoyable, nice cover on track 2 (thanks Jesse) 3

i enjoyed it more than i thought i would. i assumed it was country but was actually some pretty clean (if cheesy) pop

i know this one. maybe its nostalgia bias... gets a solid 4, a couple of the tracks are weak. drumming bass and tom morellos guitar all have some very iconic riffs on this one. a groover with strong lyrics, whats not to like

pretty good actually, closing track was unexpected and great I don't think there is anything that exciting to have me come back so gets a 3

a pretty decent album but a bit gritty, not the best the chillis have to offer. strong 3

i knew a couple of singles from this (aqualung and locomotive breath). really strong prog record that i thoroughly enjoyed

slow paced but pretty decent rapping and flows. however some of the beats get repetitive quickly also there are quite a few moments in this that are sampled by other artists, i think i liked the cereal one. average 3 i think, its just a bit too dated

pretty nice actually, strawberry letter was either sampled or ripped off in the song 'ms jackson' - its so similar. doesnt quite earn a 4

"For most of his career, Brown had a strict drug- and alcohol-free policy for any member in his entourage, including band members, and would fire people who disobeyed orders, particularly those who used or abused drugs" and then he ends up having a drug addiction using PCP and coke... he also beat his wife with a metal pipe anyway, apparently this is rolling stone's best live album of all time we all know where we stand with live albums so it's a 2 from me.

im gonna give him a 2 because its country and he doesnt seem to be able to write a song longer than 2 mins a bit too lovey dovey

decent, nice lyrics, nice beats. a bit long

i like a bit of deep purple (see previous review? :D ) banging solos, album goes quite hard good stuff

ended up enjoying this more than i thought i would.

surprisingly good, but not really memorable enough

good, i mean classic singles but the rest is fairly standard, soft 3

funky, fine, nice marley cover... would have on in the background in the morning

i actually really liked this, decent variety, nice vocals. lots of catchy and fairly unique songs. decent, genre maybe not the most interesting but a nice album overall

decent as a debut, but their later work refines their style into something truly special. this record is pretty mediocre, though it's nice to see a blend of their kyuss desert rock roots and what would later become their signature style. 2.5

It was fine and that's pretty much what I have to say about that

I've listened to this before i think. Expectations is a classic. some clever lyrics, creative instrumentals. good stuff

It's a little quirky 'holds up spork' but damn I liked this album

sometimes this kind of new wave music goes too far and just doesnt sound good. i think unfortunately this is one of those times although there are enough redeeming moments to drag it up to a 3

a bit weird, 80s poppy arty farty shit

has some classics bunged on it, really decent pop album of the time.

sounds better on vinyl (alex has a copy) i like it but its a little long and the second half is not as good as the first.

BECAUSE MAYBEEEEEEEEEEEEEE my attention span might be bad because i ekep saying this but first half was better than 2nd.

i was expecting a bit more new-wave shittyness but this was fairly good. relax has been ruined as a song by the movie 'zoolander' but on the whole this was a 3.5, round up to 4

mmmm kraut good opener and some nice ideas but not that great

story time: i know the opening track well because it's used in the final scene of the pilot for 'the shield', a US cop show we watched in GCSE media. it's a really good sequence and a very good show https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=61Pt5GYsx_w anyway the album is kinda bad

nice bit of doors, classic sound light 4

jayz's style is pretty well defined and this follows that BLUEPRINT HAH it's alright, would have to be in the mood to appreciate it

good!

some nice listening but quite short and it doesn't really do anything novel. a strong 3

surprisingly good for country style music, solid 3

better than rod solo actually enjoyed 3/5

i dont mind ice but this album doesn't really do it for me a bit long and a lot of the flows are just a bit janky

aside from track 2 which is a banger, this seems like britpop past its prime.

was way better than i thought it would be punchy catchy short and sweet penetratiooooooooooooooon

just a gigolo but good, upbeat, gets ya moving

some nice ideas, some fail quite hard for me. no incentive to listen to again

a little monotone and pretty gentle singer songwriter, but clever lyricism keeps it afloat at 3

this is really really bad i made it to track 10 it all sounds out of tune none of the vocals or instruments sound good random song writing surely not just me?

peak 80s catchy, all round pleasing

maybe it is the first hardcore punk album but, it's not incredible. cool sound though. also, produced by joan jett :D gets a 2.5 generously rounded to 3

pretty enjoyable, i definitely had low expectations going into this one. all good though, solid 3.5

pretty good, got godspeed vibes in a way. nice jazz

another half arsed listen from me, some generic rocky number? not impressed

tinny, warbly and generally just strange? 1.5

should now have time to properly review things again some classic tunes, massive /mu/core album that i have listened to once or twice before i think this lives up to the hype, its a pretty good album for 1980, interesting instrumentals and vocals that very from track to track. sort of reminds of frankie goes to hollywood fav track: born under punches

quite interesting, i would listen to this again. though the latter 2 tracks are not as good

quite a funky, mellow sound but somehow missing some of the bowie charm that his other records (and vocal performances) typically have

damn, when i saw XTC i got excited this would be electronic music. :( i did like it though, good variety and pretty good stuff. its like, a strong 3?

nice art i liked this, very clean rock / punk record. fave tracks: something about you, broken face

i wanted to like this, first track was good but it was just boring after about track 4 maybe it's the mix or just the vocals that are so flat at times

what a BANGA you must be a SOYA eater if you dont like this record and BETO get a better music taste! this is pretty unique, i like this way more than the recent african record. has some real good groove and character to it, nice melodies.

i think i like the concept of bjork vocals are good, songs are definitely not lacking in variety just the whole thing seems a little bit disjointed and doesnt fit as an album. 2.5

some jazz! i like the drumming on pt3 other than that... it is jazz!

found this fairly dull, some nice guitar work and good to know where iggy pop came from but he should stick to insurance adverts. 2.5

i do quite like this, got a soft spot for this kinda era nu metal / alt rock. heard of the name before this is kinda linkin park meets deftones and i definitely fuckg with that

some pretty bog standard poprock psych? forgettable, 2.5

i ummed and aarrd about this, but there is not a bad track on this record, its one ive listened to for years and it is just fantastic.

kinda mediocre, the best tracks are a strong 3 at best. it's a lite 2.5

some decent ideas and a couple tracks stand up well. the others however,.... posh british bints wail in a mic. 2.5?

pretty cool, couple of classics. but gets old quite quickly. 2.5

kinda fine, though there is plenty of much more interesting psychadelia out there since.

actually good! trying to recall what i liked most about this, i think the instrumentals were interesting and i just really enjoyed it

in one word? sensual not sure where i stand on this to be honest "Sex is natural, sex is fun Sex is best when it's, one on one"

this is a meme right?

some interesting ideas and sounds. so excited to see some post-rock! first track has some... bits that sound like a toddler banging on pots and pans interesting that this is only a year before F#A#inf strong 4, i would listen to this again to get to know it better

fucking dishwasher advert song. also, zappa feature, nice. starts of okay and the idea is good, spanish electronic thing but some tracks (santa maria) get quite repetetive. some nice tracks that feel almost trip-hoppy at the end. 3.5, i dont think its quite captivating enough for a 4

having 28 tracks in total is pretty interesting... all in all not bad though, sound reminds me of slayer

funnily enough i just started playing san andreas again so i've heard smoking a few times ^^ pretty good album, not really a bad individual track on there even though the guitar tone gets a little stale, 3.99 recurring

spanish, pleasant, forgettable

2.5, some more indie rock from the 80s, yay...

Pretty good, I could see this going up to a 4 over time. Nice instrumentals.

I actually really enjoyed this. Surprisingly so.

canadian or not, i can't say that these vocals did much for me

pretty mediocre, i like some of the sounds but this feels like a collection of 'eh' singles more than an album im a man takes it down to 2

album sounds a fair amount like 'remain in light', they have quite a characteristic sound and its generally enjoyable, but nothing that blows me away

fuck, i saw brian eno and i got excited that we might get an ambient record (like airports or smth) it wasn't bad, the last two tracks redeem this to a 3 (2.75?)

fine, quite forgettable. would slot in fine in a playlist but you would never want to learn what any of the songs here are called because they are that bland. 2

idk, i feel like this is a good album but its not something i would listen to. she has a great voice and the instrumentals are simple and just work. but outside of hearing a single on the radio when would i reach for this off the shelf?

has a good vibe overall but its not fantastic, the last track was quite bad light 3

ehh

some smooth sunday tunes, pretty blase on this one

a bit long and thats the main reason for the 2, some decent soul otherwise

i can see why this is critically acclaimed, although one of the best albums of all time? dunno about that strong 3.5

really all over the place but otherwise kinda good strong 3?

fine, forgettable, giving a 3 because it was very easy listening

i was going to just give this a light 2 and dismiss as generic flat folk you'd hear at the beer festival or something but this has it's moments. still very vanilla though

holy shit that was funky

old school. fun!

so i watched the hot ones with her recently, why does her singing not have an NZ accent? doesn't even sound like her also she's only 24? looking at interviews she really changed between 2014 and 2017 (when this came out), almost like its not the same person i dont mind the voice too much but sometimes she does this... idk what to call it, inflection? that im not a fan of. some pretty good although bog standard poppy tunes with a gospel kinda vibe. her (not yet out) album and the singles from it are much more compelling, this is more of a 'talentedish girl pumping out pop tunes with a slight unique angle' Light 3

definitely a musical journey. hard to score this one without listening to it 5+ times to really work out what to make of it, it is quite long. im erring on the side of 4 because theres a lot i want to go back to and listen and the album flows very well.

this was really good!

funky beats, a lot of these remind me of some retro video games. enjoyed the very 80s vocals, strong 3.5

bit like the beatles, not that exciting, might have some more appeal on another day but not keen to revisit

late 70s bops very nice album, songs past the banger opener were all up to scratch,

this is fine, a little bland but tolerable. surprised its only 2000, it sounds older. low 3

no thanks

iconic, but a bit long and at the end of the day it is rap / hip-hop. strong 3

nice sunday morning music? a bit too vocal, thats the main drawback. otherwise, pleasant lounge? light 3

strong 3. reminds me a lot of flogging molly

i appreciate that she had real singing talent, has some good songs. it's quite sad to listen to what she is singing about / going through.

not for me

i like 'little dark age' a lot, obviously ive heard the bops from this one but somehow never listened to the album. it's really good, im a big fan of the vocals, the synths pack a punch on every track... what's not to like? strong 4 that i could see myself growing on

love ballad kinda thing, fairly luke warm on it. 2.5

theres better kiss albums (older ones) with better bops. this was eh

banger to start and to end, pretty pleasant album in between. i suppose they had refined their sound well by this point. production seems very good for '69, as far as i could tell this wasn't a remaster "we all need someone we can cream on"

I'm more of a 'the eminem show' guy (love that album) but this too is eminem at his best, delivering dark, emotionally powerful lines while maintaining his tongue in cheek humour. all along a fast, aggressive and clean flow backed by excellent production? (produced by dr.dre btw) strong 4

hmmm, i wasn't feeling this too much but 'house of cards', 'jigsaw..' made me rethink my scoring. jigsaw is a very nice track. opener was not great. I think in the right mood it could be a 4 but too much of a mishmash after 1 listen. 3

pleasantish, kinda meh. nothing amazing

this guys vocals are a bit whingey

eh

pretty good, not as good as the other one from him we had. very pleasant though, nice beach vibes

man i could go for a decent hamburger

was excited for some soul but i cant remember a thing about this.

nice electronic. Mysterious Semblance is a beautiful spacey track like something from a movie. Movements Of A Visionary has a 4tet like 'twinkle'. will listen to again for sure

i quite liked this. fave track: Mausoleum 3.5

fun from cover to cover. maybe a bit too many drug lines?

pretty eh on this, i usually like this stuff but this seems like a bad version of korn? some of the tracks were interesting in their own way, like the bass work on 'woodpecker from mars' and i didn't enjoy the 'war pigs' cover, listened to original yday..

one iconic track followed by what feels like generic folky stuff. not impressed, harmonica gave me a headache.

im not 14 anymore but this is tolerable

thats fucking /mu/core i dont get why this is so highly rated

caddell returns was good but quite a lot of the drumming and other instrumental pieces were repetetive, grinding and just annoying.

thats a lot of piano overall this gets very bland quite quickly, though on first listen it wasnt so bad

like a 2.5, some psych that i wasnt especially feeling today

ew so cookie cutter and boring, the instrumentals are flat, the singing is flat, whats the point? i stopped at hoover dam on my first pass and came back to it later. I think 1 is too unfair but its not good 1.5

its bon jovi, full of classics, 3.5 round it up to 4. good but not incredible. very wetherspoons album

i kinda zoned out during this. streets of bakersfield has an oktoberfest vibe didnt mind this tbh

some of the songs are tolerable on their own but man i have zero desire to listen to this album ever again

i feel like i should compare this to his other album we had on here, but i cant be bothered. this is fine, got a bit used to his voice... 2.5

its ok, i found it a little bit slow and dull in places. very 3

some good old school shit scorpio was a bit janky but the rest is very good i love my mother

hey this is pretty good

probably good for its time, and so on, being 6 albums before pump. start was a little rough though i like the 'ac/dc' hard rock kinda feel. pump was better though. 3.5

going light 4 on this one, its a pretty good album with decent variety of songs

i enjoyed this more towards the start. in the morning of the magicians, are you a hypnotist were some highlights. after that, the album started to trail off a little. 3.5

novel (liked clockwork creep) but... nothing to come back for.

to be honest they get a bad rep for the album that was preloaded onto apple gear but this album is really rather good, that 3 track opener is almost 5 worthy and the rest of the album takes their music in a few different directions. happy to give this a 4 and listen again

thats a lot of piano. quite pleasant to listen to and decent backgrounder but not much more. 2.87

unrefined, uninspiring budget beatles?

cool debut. i suspect alex might like this one. I don't mind it being on, but its not especially my thing. definite 3

started off good, got kinda dull. 2.5

Bangers but inconsistent and it should be better.

its very average, 2.5 rounded up to 3 since i appreciate some of the instrumentals and beachy vibes

solid but the rest of the album doesnt live up to the 2 best tracks. 3.5

sure is sinatra, classic sound. bit short. nothing to complain about, decent sunday music

i tend to quite like ambienty edm sort of things, but this felt like a generic movie or video game soundtrack with not much going for it. shame, 2.51

pretty well written and thought out album. hard like

pretty good, nice voice, nice guitar, interesting songs, short and sweet.

fun album, not a 5 but a very solid 4

i was gonna give this a 3 for being average... but then it "floated away". started giving me a headache just due to sounding so samey after a while

beetles wa wa we wa that said i will give this a 4 because its not bad but its more of a 3.75

Some cool tracks but some equally boring ones. Xr2 bangs. 3.5

I like the piano work on this but that said, the vocals don't really do it for me and get kinda tedious. Very average 3

kinda dull, track 2 is a classic.

a bit boomer but short and sweet

good listening, very pretty, lovely voice, really clean instrumentals. can't fault this too much, strong 4?

you got a license for that album? the one famous song is overplayed in adverts. the guitar is actually solid but the voice teeters between decent and unlistenable. 2.5?

no wikipedia page eh? what the fuck is this record, random blend of jazz, with spacey ambient, upbeat vocal sections, spoken word tracks?? I'm not really sure how to rate this. it doesnt seem to have a clear identity.. light 4 because of some nice highs? fav track: in a moment of clarity, something wicked

an interesting assortment of sounds, loses half a point for the imagine cover and is pretty long for an album of this type. i could see myself listening to this once a year but thats about it. nice experience.

starts with a classic and spends the rest of the album chasing that high. still, a nice enough sound. strong 3

some of this is quite bland but a few of the songs and songwriting have some good qualities? the lyrics on 'no body' are criminally bad though

interesting. quite a bit of 'british' character to it. (especially the 2 famous songs) some of the tracks are well done but not really for me. fav track: the fix 3.33?

interesting idea that looked promising on the surface but the vocalist isnt that interesting and the instrumentals are SO flat that this gets old very very quickly. allegedly soul but actually just vanilla r'n'b, only real positive is the lil wayne feature... 2

feeling generous and giving it a light 4, an example of alt-rock that shows decent track diversity and is fun to listen to fav track: monkey

the band is an absolute staple of the modern dream pop genre, i do prefer 'bloom' as an overall album though. Light 4

pretty good, i didnt know that bjork was in a band and I think this showcases her voice quite well with a good variety of songs. feeling a light 4 on this record liked: motorcrash, sick for toys, mama

if someone asked me 'what is new-wave' i would send them 'the look of love'. decent album, strong 3 from me, not enough banger tracks to push it higher

strong first half that tapered off into something fairly mediocre. 2.5 good tracks: marine boy

life is hard and so am i

quite good, i dont recall many new-wave albums with female vocalists. starting to get a little sick of the genre though. strong 3

this is fine, her voice is quite nice but the songs are all fairly generic

so dull for a bowie album, no wonder i didnt know anything from this one.

this was pretty alright, not much to complain about.

its ok, his other album was better. quite sombre and can't see myself craving for this but its a good enough listen

just kinda boring, i was hoping for something on the alternative side but it's just slow and uninspiring

starts off ok but just devolves into random preaching over tribal instrumentals it has some redeeming qualities but im never touching this again

some of the tracks have potential but otherwise her shrieking is not that pleasant

actual banger, gone daddy gone with the xylophone is mental top tracks: confessions, prove my love, gone daddy gone strong 4 i think

its ok, definitely an experience. but i dont think its something i will listen to again

i know this one hehe i dont have to listen to it again to rate it, it's a 5. when i first listened to it i wasn't that blown away actually (apart from master of puppets, that bangs for anyone), but this definitely grows over time. a masterpiece of metal that is arguably metallica's peak rip cliff

its alright. somehow didnt mind the lyrics even though gary's got a boner

pretty good, deffo a grower last track has godspeed vibes

even the 'smaller' tracks are actually fairly good. feeling a generous light 4 on this piece of american rock shame about that plane

was going to dismiss this as more random afrobeat but damn this is actually very good, i wasn't expecting the yolo message on 'live for today' Lite 4 fav tracks: plenty nonsense, no shame

nahhhh

not feeling quite a few songs on this one unfortunately

a little conflicted on this one, i've heard of janis joplin before but i never listened. very unique voice, and a pretty interesting record but some of the instrumentals are a little rough around the edges. i think it's a strong 3 as a 'first pass' review and i could see it being a 4 if in the mood for it...

something about this really hits the spot! it's the first album that i didn't already know that I considered giving a 5. a lot of the guitar sounds and tones are phenomenal, example second half of 'the sprawl', candle... those moments are my highlights of the album and I don't think there are enough to justify the 5 as some of the upbeat tracks are weaker. Strong 4 fav tracks: cross the breeze, kissability, the sprawl, candle

same stance on nick as before, not a massive fan of the spoken word vocals, this just feels dull rather than something creative or interesting.

i really dont care for the beatles and no matter how awe inspiring / conceptual / psychadelic / mind breaking this album may be i have no immediate desire to listen to it again

decent but not as good as aja? strong 3

wow such beatles more paul better than pepper (prefer the beach rock kinda vibe) but still only really a 3 with no real pull for me

hey this has a song from shrek on it strong 3, i actually found myself enjoying this, very rainy sunday mood.

damn that is not something i expected to come up in this list!!! i know and like this record already. funky jams, giving a light 4 to be generous, i think its a little too long and some of the songs feel a bit jerkoffy

I'm still more of a 'the eminem show' guy, this is a decent 3 though.

this rubs me the right way, very pretty shoegazey noise that reminds of MBV, have a nice life, slowdive etc. very enjoyable time, strong 4

seems to only have a few tracks on spotify? the ones that are there are good. strong 3, dont want to rate more since thats not very fair.

very creative but a bit strange

fine, dont love it, dont hate it. it is, what it is

turns out the band that made rumours can make other decent music! a bit long, light 4. doesn't have the peaks of rumours but is a consistently good record

fine, bit boring... 2.5

nothing wrong with this, apart from the album cover

probably just not in a mood for this to appreciate it, didnt seem that bad.

i liked it!

first track is a san andreas radio classic, however the album is long, the tracks are scattered and all over the place, and none of the interesting ideas are explored in any serious depth. light 3

wee woo /mu/core alert ive listened to this from cover to cover many times before, this was a high school special for sure... some crazy good singles, plenty of dreamy instrumentals and honestly not that many dull or skippable songs which for a 2 hour!! runtime is pretty dang good. have to give it the light 5

strong 3

this lost its magic somewhatwith the 'house of the rising sun' cover. light 3

lad's got a nice voice but this was just a bit dull

better than the other one, strong 3 to a light 4

some decent early british metal fun. love it!

solid enjoy, i do like this kind of music and this is a pretty tight album. 4

moonchild is a bad track but the rest is dangerously based lite 4

kind of interesting, and... german, but i aint coming back to this

short and sweet, a forgettable espresso of an album lots of these songs sounds a little bit like famous ones from other bands

enjoyable, forgettable

i feel like giving this a 1 but it probably deserves a 2? the last track was interesting.

mellow surf rock that is actually quite hard to fault. strong 3 / lite 4

a grower for sure or maybe the last few songs are just better. a decent soul album, reminds a bit of hiatus koyotoe or however it goes

know it, love it. but is it a 5...

hey i know this one (shout out to jesse) for a debut indie album by a band this is spectacular. the tone of the album with the light reverb, beautiful dreamy vocals and acoustic guitar, cannot be matched. their later albums riff on this formula but this is executed to perfection? i had a paragraph here about how this isn't quite good enough to be a 5. i listened to it again and removed the paragraph :-)

its ok fast car is overplayed probably wouldn't reach for this off the shelf often, average 3

finally got round to coming back to this, nice warbly guitar, kinda interesting album but im very rarely in the mood to appreciate something like this

its doesnt feel good to give this a 3 but its not that bad, just a bit dull. low 3

eh didnt love it

pretty good voice light 4

funky!

such a good album. the 'debut' of "heavy metal" that sparked a generation of music, awesome riffs, ozzy's vocals go with these perfectly, great drumming... unironic light 5

sabotage is a great track, the rest of this is so-so. light 3

decent bit of rock, strong 3?

hey its zappa its ok, not his best

they call this a classic of hip hop but i never got it, not bad on this listen though. fav tracks: life's a bitch, the world is yours

bit long, goes on a bit. they're alright but the schtick loses its magic after kashmir

just a bit boring, shame

this is "u" nlistenable

this has no right being this good

like a slightly worse duran duran, some tracks had their moments but overall it was not very inspiring. light 3 fav track: aliens?

i wasn't gonna have high hopes for the fucking stoner's 22nd album that's all country covers but this was almost pleasant enough to give a 4

kinda fun, but on a bad day these vocals would really piss me off

i've listened to this before funnily enough, i think it's really highly rated on the RYM techno chart or something like that, and i tried it when looking for some "acclaimed" techno its a good album, not everyday listening but hits the spot when you're in the mood, starts off slow but the album is a nice slow build. 4 fav track: lush 3-1, monday

felt long, good? strong 3 / light 4

maybe all the new wave is starting to get to me, i thought the instrumentals were quite good. strong 3

i think "wild cats of kilkenny" was on the celtic playlist i put on when we were playing 'inis' because it seems familiar. some of this is OK but a lot of it is sub par and for an hour play time? light 2

the lightest of 3s

this feels like a movie soundtrack rather than an album while kinda pretty, simple but effective instrumentals and a nice vocalist, i somehow found this lacking of any real soul apart from on the odd track. (neon valley street) 2 because i was disappointed.

i've listened to this before but i thought it had a strange unpleasant tone to it. maybe the remastered version i tried today fixes this but yeah, solid prog. not as good as 'yes' but enjoyable. lite 4

decent voice, but some of the tracks lost my attention. med 3

the band

bit shit

some absolute slapper tracks on this i hadn't heard before (snowblind, under the sun). fucking hell those riffs son changes and fx feel a bit out of place? volume 4 gets a 4 :-)

there's a lot of things in this that have been referenced later (esp by rage against the machine) doorsy vibe. 3

ehhhh 2.5

short punchy catchy, great!

decent for country but idk whats up with the mix. my right ear would like to hear some too.

hey i know waterfalls -1 point for 'sexy interlude'

pretty mellow

jazz with flamenco guitar? fuck yeah this was great

very very good, for a live album? just sounds like a greatest hits. the guitar is so clean... considering giving this a 5...

damn, a real good streak recently. really tight song writing, i only knew blitzkrieg bop but the rest is a bop too :)

really disappointed, thought this would be good but all the songs are about the same thing, just sounds so monotone even ironic seems to be weak by the time we get to it which is crazy

Genre Country folk, bluegrass Length 105:55 no thanks

i came in ready to hate this but it's quite hard to do so, it's alright. have a 3 and rest in piece

couldn't find this anywhere, not even on tpb

ehhhh

surprising actually, started off as 'british britpop wank' but develops character quickly. has a gorillaz quirk vibe to it. not bad

i think its got a few flaws, and its so damn long (compared so something of similar length like smashing pumpkins, this isn't as consistent) so not quite a 5. but good, very good

alright, nice bit of psych. strong 3

just fucking wank, light 2

this is like a 4 gatekeeper, good but not great, quite polished, can't really fault it but it's very forgettable.

ehhhh a bit too churchy and definitely a bit too country in places. light 2

am i going to give every album ive heard of before a 5? maybe another daily driver, still have this on my phone etc. big fan of this album. i thnk the flow between tracks could be better but individually this is an excellent selection of very tight songs, don't quite have the right word but the almost haunting vocals with the simple instrumentals sends shivers down my spine every time. fav songs: shelter, night time, stars the fact 2 songs are stuck in my head the next day says it all

kinda long. never got into them when they were the hot stuff in high school. alright

a bit confused and a bit too long for my zoomer attention span

fuck that

some sort of disco pop? yeah alright nothing to write home about

yea pretty good 4 territory right here

some of the samples are quite annoying but you have to admit there's some 90's anthems on here. that said, let's leave them as single anthems and not string them together.

i knew all the 'good' songs off this (box, rape me, dumb, pennyroyal tea, all apologies) but the rest is not that great. strong 3?

surprisngly good, maybe a light 4?

actually some interesting ideas, and some great guitar / bass play. e.g barbarism, nowhere fast. the titular track is quite interesting. the wailing on track 2 is however particularly unpleasant... like a middling 3, its not bad

has some weak spots, strong 3.

not that bad, title sums it up. some ballads. quite like the songs with female features.

sure is dolly. nothing technically wrong with it, just a bit not my thing. yee haw. 2.5

the weight is a classic track but the rest is a bit moany. all in all not bad, light 3

fine, this is shopping mall music tbh

that's jazz

sounds like a spanish chav that's busking on the street have heard bongo bong before, that's a cute track

ehhhhhhh

wow its the arctic monkeys but not quite!!! not a fan of the monkeys and not really a fan of this

i had no idea about this but i recognise this band, been caught stealing is on the san andreas soundtrack. I like that song and a few of the others. pretty good! love the chugging 90s guitar, ballady tracks are cool as well.

know this one, dont mind it, dont go crazy. light 4, probably one of the better leds?

a bit too bri'ish

69

bit cheesy, not the best ghetto rap

listend to this before. i love 'lovesong'. it's a little long and hard to listen to often because it's so haunting and depressing but it's a good album in its niche

mediocre, kinda easy on the ears with his gentle voice.. 2.5?

as a standalone soundtrack, pretty alright. i skimmed the plot of the film, would be interesting to see how this is used in that, to be honest.

i remember when i thought ac/dc was cool :D they still are :D tight, fun rock, some terrific geetar, the album falls off towards the end a little bit and they do work best as a 'best of hits' kinda band, still giving this a light 4 cos its a bop!

what did i just listen to some tracks like slow motion have a grimes-y vibe. then you get to valley / ravenspoint and you have slow psychy folk? and then wish is back to a chiptune bopper. i'm giving this a 3 because it's confusing. some neat ideas and definitely not unpleasant. normally im all over female vocalist stuff like this but it just lacks a defined direction.

very little redeeming qualities to be honest unfortunately

feels a bit all over the place (am i saying this too much?) average 3, was ok

yeah im 5ing this one without listening to it... i know this one. not as good as demon days, but such a nice variety of creative and clever tracks, from a 20 year old album? love it, it blew my mind as a kid. some of tracks like 'punk' or 'latin simone' might not be a 10/10 but the rest of the album makes up for it. fav tracks: re-hash, tomorrow comes, sound check, slow country

its ok, some nice british rock, i feel like their later stuff is marginally better? some boppin, blare this in the park with a can of lager. strong3?

didnt mind this, nice showcase of her voice, bit weird and interesting, approachable. light 4

2.5, its ok... cee-lo hits a niche that is not necessarily for me

however groundbreaking or father of rock and roll this was at the time, it doesnt hold up especially for me

sounds like thom yorke? budget radiohead

that's swing, man's got a great voice

N E W W A V E

actually vibe hard with this, wicked disco / synth instrumentals and the tone of the vocals gives the whole thing a depressing vibe that i genuinely quite like. close to a 5...

has some pretty moments but is otherwise quite drab

tedious

what would happen if you took a homeless guy out from the parisian metro, recorded his wailings and added some instrumental metal to be fair its an interesting album to listen to but i dont see myself going back

bom pom pom nope

alright

cool, quite grim and bleak but his voice works. nice diverse array of songs. fun!

decent, maybe a bit too lovey and some lame instrumentals. strong 3

palatable surf rock kinda thing. its like an old weezer. kinda neat, strong 3?

pretty based soul what else to say take the 4 and go away

fuck it im giving it a 5, this rocks

some lacking tracks but overall nice vibes, ill stretch to a light 4

pretty ok boomer journey / lynrd skynrd kinda rock. sounds good, strong 3

long, pleasant but in a background noise kinda way? average 3

maybe in 1999 this was considered "house" and "good music" but it fucking blows today. second half was a little better but some of the samples on the first few are insufferable, light 2

sounds like talking heads, think ive said that before, they have a sound thats consistent. pretty pleasant. light 4 probably better than the other one we had but not as good as remain in light

eh, passable britbong. didnt feel it, 2.5. maybe if i was wankered

long, oddly varied. feels like a 1 hour radio show rather than an album by a band. still pleasant tho

couldn't find it.

ive always wanted to listen to an lcd soundsystem album all the way through, but despite trying my hardest with this, it was pretty hard. same issue i always have with these guys, i like the instrumentals and the ideas but the vocal + lyric combination is just wet wank and by 'all my friends' the instrumentals were getting tedious too.

interesting to listen to some blur that's not just the first 2 singles off this album. pretty good for some 1997, some energetic songs that remind of later gorillaz tracks, and a good amount of slower david bowie esque tracks. pretty decent, maybe a bit weird pacing wise

not that bad, a bit not to my tastes, but nice vocals and good accompanying music. avg 3

i first became aware of the fella when he did the king gizzard remix, which was pretty good. very happy to see his eclectic instrumentals at work here. at lot of the songs or instrumentals seem strangely familiar, i wonder if he's using famous samples or if his work became sampled. in any case, a little slice of instrumental bliss. fav track: stem / long stem , organ donor, napalm brain

light 4 would not object to hearing again, light hearted

the indie rock label and the curious album art didnt give me high hopes, but this is a highlight of the list for sure. some weak points and probably deserves more listens, but a solid 4 from me on this record fav tracks: little fury things, kracked, in a jar, poledo

drab

bit folky, slight bumpkin flavour

my notes got lost :( or i didnt save them. tl;dr decent idm, have a slight soft spot for this stuff when it shows up so im probably overrating it at a light 4.

kinda generic stadium rock, nothing to go crazy for

wee woo /mu/core first track is a "certified hood classic" theres a few strong tracks on here, 70 mins of space rock gets a bit tedious though. avg 4

My girls = huge bop. definitely psychadelic, some of the tracks make you feel high. i do quite like this one. least fav = taste. 4

light 5

jezz

good grunge, i like jar of flies more though. decent 4

very strong 3? i liked this but probs wont ever listen again

actually good, quite exciting. a fresh modern take on R&B that's minimalistic, simple and well executed. It's not exactly to my taste but i appreciate the quality! 4

not feeling it much

nice cover songs are pretty rough :/

is it just here because of the first track? nice ish instrumentals but the organ tone gets old quite quickly

known this one for a while /mu/core hehe ever since that "but everything is my voice" of this album i lisetned to this 5 times and had new york city cops stuck in my head daily. absolute banger, not a bad track on this fella. greater than the sum of its parts. strong 5

oooo me irish dont mind this kinda stuff, bit long though 2.76

good, gets the phil seal of approval 4

heheheehheheehehehehe i have a shirt of this album 5

like a psychier black sabbath, great album

surfs up bro

a day at the races is on the Tony Hawk Underground soundtrack, thats a huge nostalgia vibe. pretty good, reminds of deltron 3030 in style.

some nice moody singer songwriter, i liked it. fave tracks: fuzzy, soft wolf thread,

fun but a bit flat after the 1st track 2.5

yeah really solid, good bops, nothing that wows. fav track: prophet's song

mucoreeeeeeeeeeeeee really great flowing electronic kind of album, its nice to have something cohesive again rather than tracks stuck together some strong tracks, 4.5?

damn i haven't listened to this in a long time, used to be on rotation back in the day. to me this is the posterchild of rock, light hearted, technically satisfying and just fun!! light 5

ehhh feels kinda dated, not too bad but at the same time not my jam

pleasant radio / movie montage music :D

well executed cover album, feels a bit cheap to give covers a 4 so you get a 3.5

pure bri'sh

quite fun dive bar kinda rock, low 4

2.5, most tracks missing on spoti

fun record, bit long though so the schtick gets old. strong 3

michael jackson, he hasn't been in the news too much lately, where you hiding jacko?

i like it, has a good vibe. but it's not turbo good

its ok, drags on a little and the orchestral thing gets a bit old. feels like a more electronic queen. some bops. 3.5

i kinda dig this, i always like distorted vocals where you can tell what they're saying. nice punky guitar. light 4?

very cool record, fun use of samples / oriental instrumentals fav tracks: butterfly, sutrix, eclipse, light, worst track: OK

sounded familiar, i guess its the whole wu-tang posse. pretty good, not as tigth as the wutang album we had and a bit long. light 4

hot buttered... shaft? bit stale, has a bit of an old porn flick vibe to it... strong 2

sure is hendrix, pretty good, cant really fault it

i listened on shuffle by accident so i listened again. actually kinda dig this, it's so gleefully depressing

wasn't expecting a kanye... clean well produced early 2000s hip hop, cant really complain fav track: go?

ah yeah, scottish reggae drags on a bit

pretty ok

the thing is, the songs are all decent individually but the composition into an album is just strange the first 4 have electronic / ballad themes then you get upbeat and then you go ambient and end with a sax jaz song? i'd probably get used to it and even like it more on more listens, but its a 3 atm. in hindsight 'in rainbows' was probably higher than a 3 since it was better than this on 1st listen

love her voice, strong 4

was ready to hate on this but then i listened to it through the whole way with no complaints. maybe summers making me less grumpy?

the first track really put me off, the vocals are weird and not in a good way, just in an uncomfortable way the instrumentals carry this very hard, but then you get alfie fuck it im giving it a 1 this is proper dog

if mercedes benz wasnt a track then maybe a light 4. but that brings it down. sounds way older than it actually is, then again 1971 was 50 years ago...

smooth

im always torn on how to rank system albums, there isn't really a bad track on this, it showcases beautifully what they do, bit of variety.. appreciate its a bit abrasive but for me its a 5 :D

2.5 very american

i like the style of this, the singing is a litte interesting though hard to be in the mood. 3.5

jezz

the vocals make this unlistenable to me tbh

haven't listened to this one in a while, its still very good. lots of bangers, very very strong 4

what a random album, so much variety. very tangy light 4

not quite what i expected from the cover perfectly functional, 2.5

kinda a one track wonder, light 3

pretty good songs from this chappie light 4

generic kinda americana diner rock music, light 3

really good, actually

the big bops are quite fun, but the rest is just a little bit flat, her voice is good but not incredible. avg 3

world music, wont listen again

cars is a classic, theres a nice synth sound to the whole thing but it has quite a flat sound. not bad at all, just not a repeater middle 3

strong 3? decent punk but the tracks are so short, at least with something like black flag the tracks go super hard, here its a bit mediocre

pretty good, i had some friends into them but i always though they were in the 'a bit weird' camp with stuff like iron maiden, alice cooper etc. light 4

decent RnB, the hits are a 4 but the rest of this is an average 3, think this genre has a ceiling at light 4 tbh.

i usually find genesis a little bit annoying, and its suprising this is only a year after "selling england .. " since it's much easier to swallow light 4, it's fucking long but it's all quite solid prog that doesn't get boring

boppable kinda rock, some greats, however "tv dinners" is a real low. light 3

badly mastered PISS

i dont get it

holy shit slash is a monster... obviously the classics are the classics here, never heard "think about you" and the acoustic guitar in the chorus is mental light 4

every step you take doesn't fit with the rest of the album really, really cool stuff. fav track: synchronicity II strong 4

i remember listening to this when it came out and not being a fan. having some time away from it definitely helps approach it fresh. this is imo the definition of an album that should be on this list, there's lots of unique ideas, i would listen to it as a study but probably not for fun. strong 4

unexpected, generally nice, quite chill.

like a really budget kendrick. light light 3

hey, music make you lose control is from those triangle memes lots of stuff is recognizable from samples actually bit retro, bit funky, yea why not. light 4

kinda good, didn't expect the variety, drumming and bass pleasant throughout. strong 3

you're a big girl all the way eh didnt find the songwriting to my tastes, and since that's the main schtik here, well...

dunno how to word it without sounding like a hipster but its a bit overproduced, the core is quite nice and fun to listen to but i genuinely start seeing tv adverts play in my eyes when hearing more than 5 tracks in a row

eh, about the same as graceland. 2.5

the name seemed familiar, a tight 40 mins of clean jazz fun, what's not to like? obligatory jazz 4 awarded

i like drum and bass, but this feels quite dated and more annoying than enjoyable. some tracks like "heroes", "new forms" are ok, but stuff like mad cat sucks... strong 2, i was hoping for better

i gave mellon collie a 5, im also probably giving this a 5, it's not the same scale but i still love this one, a pretty light 5

ehhh strong 2, feels like its trying too hard

cant find on spot, skipping cba

some huge tracks which are 5s, but the rest of this is a bit dated. 'invaders must die' is a much better album than this. strong 3

i liked pink moon, and i like this. hard to compare since it's been a while. the guitar playing is lovely, i think pink moon was a bit more sombre and soulful. strong 3 for this one

wow, i have heard about this but never listened. What a great way to combine metallica's metal with an orchestra for a real experience. 2 hours of metallica in one sitting is a bit much but i'm out the other side with a big smile on my face strong 4

casual dive bar soft rock kinda vibe, the non hit songs are forgettable. light 3

well as the name suggests, its quite fun. a bit yobby ska kinda thing but enjoyable on the whole light 3

alright folky kinda thing, good that it wasn't too long. strong3?

this man can go bake his jelly somewhere far away from here light 2

not too bad, strong genesis vibe or at least what genesis sounds like to me in my head. nothing wrong but nothing rockin, mid 3

i was ehhh on the last elvis, his singing style doesn't do it for me 2

long and a bit quirky, decent songs all round, not quite in 4 land since its a bit long and only one listen.

pretty good, i was hoping for a little more but this was still a nice listen strong 3 / light 4

i like their sound, here real classic 2000s rock. somehow i enjoyed it more than i remember enjoying elephant, though they should probably be about equal?

are they a drug associated band because you need to be high to find this enjoyable? dont get it, hippie dippie shite on the lower end of average

proper british music for the british people the tracks outside of singles have some nice variety and as a gorillaz fan i like damon's voice decent 4

bruh

church / classical music vibes, interesting album if a tad long. decent 4

thought this guy was a simpsons meme, very nice latin music

having the kids singing on the first track was a bit odd a bit too new wave, didnt hugely feel it, its probably a strong 2 / light 3

dreamy and ethereal, i liked their other album we've had, and i like this. decent 4, one to listen to again for sure.

"is considered to be a landmark album in hardcore punk" i was gonna give this a low score but operation was so funny im giving it a 4 out of respect, its short and i do have to say, something you should hear before you die

eric clapton sure can play that geetar, but the bluesy ness doesnt quite do it for me here 3

soulful soul, great live recording too.

reminds of banana album in places a bit of a hilbilly vibe? light 3

taj mahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaal fun party bops, big up brasil most of the world music we're getting has been pretty decent

why is this so long? dont mind the yobby vocals as much as i thought i might initially really light 3, dunno if i'd come back but it was fine

pretty ok, not really notable in any of its qualities...

not bad, some cool tracks on here (chance meeting, sea breezes), actually all of the album from 2HB onwards is really good decent 4 from me on this record

sounds like the beatles, fine, don't love it or hate it

short, nice hits, bit jealous of his 10 inch record to be honest. decent 4, would need to be a touch less lewd to be in the 5 zone

i think these guys supported death grips on tour once, and that makes sense. nice industrial metal, as is often the case the drumming is noticeably great. not super keen on the vocals but they add to the overall grimey feel strong 4

unsurprisingly i have heard chunks of this before kinda good, there's obviously potential there and people like this stuff, a lot of it is generically pleasing but not impressive. fav track: Million Years Ago very light 4

the music is good but i didnt enjoy the lyrics on a few of the songs which lets this down was a 2 but some tracks on the tail end (9 tmes out of 10) bumped this to a light 3

damn, short, witty, punch, well written and gorgeous tracks absolutely beautiful, not a bad track, love it!

thoroughly enjoyable, nice mellow vibes. good stuff might even be a 5 if the cover didnt have feet

a classic, but a conflicted 4 since i'm unlikely to intentionally listen to this again.

inoffensive but forgettable, nothing kinky about it 2.5 on the lighter side

feeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeel maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan womaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan

voiceis a bit deep for me, bit hard on the ears "in shades" is good tho

decent bit of old rap, but not that many bangers

ehh

a bit like fiona apple, what is hilarious is we've had two albums of hers before and i've said that i like her vocals on "blue" but not on "court and spark". this is ok, not a fan of the jungle line as the 2nd track, the rest of the album is fine, not wowed

decent queen album, not much to say strong 3

feels like generic indie, none of the charm of something like 'fleet foxes' for me really. strong 2 because i was a little disappointed

damn the mix on this 50th anniv. edition is great, layla is a classic track, lots of decent track all around probably the best we've had of clapton so i'll stretch to a 4

le fucking classique feels a bit wild this is a 25 year old record fav tracks: let down, electioneering falls off a little towards the end (climbing / lucky), i was really gonna try and be a lad and give it a 4 but start until electioneering goes so hard it almost doesn't matter light, diet semi skim 5

so forgettable i forgot i had it on

i happily listened through the b-sides without realizing, nice contrast with the last track. sick album, great bangers, great ballads, fav tracks: love ain't for keeping (a slow song done well!), getting in tune, behind blue eyes light 5

track 1 hurts the ears track 2 was ok track 3 is back to noise this can fuck right off

good, i like the back half from 'it doesn't matter' onwards. I would probably listen to singles rather than the full album. strong 3

oh man i haven't listened to the mars volta in about 10 years im not super keen on the guys vocals good modern take on prog rock though fav tracks: drunkenship of lanterns , televators

fuck i never knew that america was a cover when yes did it, has great tracks but doesn't have the impact of PSRT light 4

not feeling this one

i always thought kick out the jams was a RATM original since i first heard it by them. i dont think there is any benefit to this being a live album, itd be better in studio quality even if less punky. not a huge fan, strong 2

new waveeeee 2.5

ehhh

disorder is an incredible track, shame the rest of the album falls flat a little after that. new dawn fades is close but not the same level

1966 wow! ehhhhhhhhhh

fine?

hey look more bowie. really good record, close to a 5, i think 'song for bob dylan' and 'the bewlay brothers' score too low to avg out a 5. fav tracks: oh you pretty things, life on mars, kooks, fill your heart, queen bitch strong 4

although this is apparently the birth of ambient music as a genre etc blah blah, i've tried to listen to this before but never found it very engaging. there are so many better ambient albums that came later: pop - gas green - hiroshi yoshimura el camino real, aphex twin vol2, actually i tried to think of more ambient and I couldn't. maybe the genre isn't as big as i thought it was. decent 3 i suppose?

yes quite

quite enjoyable, very 90s sound. definitely a real salad of sounds light 4

i've heard "can i kick it before" quite a good classic rap album, very clean, good beats, good raps. well executed, decent 4

actually interesting folk, her voice is almost bojrky - for example on 'in the dark places' which is strange that that was my main observation since i hated the other 2 albums we had from her so far.

unexpected world music that isn't BVSC is capped at 4, this sits up there. great bops

bop city, super funky, love the vocals easily 5 standard

un dun dun dun dun pin pin pin tin tun tan tun pim pam

remind me of 'at the drive in' but also something else i can't put my finger on ahhh distal's crash of rhinos. it's not bad, maybe a bit too much noise on this one, plus it's loooong light 4

budget genesis, dont love it dont hate it

really good actually, interesting female vocals, cool range of songs and decent guitar at times. strong 4!

decent 80's bop, i think a lot of the songs have creative ideas and themes but the execution isn't there on all of them going down to a strong 3, it's a bit long and starts getting tedious fave track: play to win

could this not be a 5? very much doubt it. every song goes hard and i know most of the words already, another classic back from the days very easy 5 fav tracks: scar tissue, this velvet glove, road trippin'

fine, not amazing, perhaps good at the time or live

decent kind of old school punk, light 4

robbie's a pretty good entertainer huh enjoyed this way more than i thought i ever would, light 4

budget beetles, radio 2 music

not that bad, some of the instrumentals are a bit noisy and "crowded", and the others a bit bland light 3

decent, would bob along if this was on the radio, probably won't come back to light 3

chill light hearted fluff light 3

oh my goodness you hit play and it hits you right in the nose with the fucking exmilitary sample rest of this is fun, probably not as good as their other album we had already. strong 3

cool songwriting, yeah, why not

decent vibe, light 4

ehh, the slower raps feel a little dull on this. not the best the wutang lot have come up with.

kind of annoyingly catchy, i would hesitate to listen again in case i get earwormed ... strong 3

good album, light 4?

first track's been on a lot of adverts i think maybe a light 4 but it has a track with chicken in the name, so 3

not as good as some of their other stuff, missing a certain je ne sai quoi light 3

fine nice vibe strong 3

enjoyed this a lot more than i remember enjoying back to black, strong 4 on this one. good stuiff

im gonna give this a light 4 for the quirkyness, the slower pacing of the songs is interesting and you do get used to it. worth the liste.

michael jackson, he hasn't been in the news too much lately, where you hiding jacko?

dont mind it in principle, i think "girlfriend" was a summer hit at some point, maybe when i was in france and i'm really sick of that song. there are some hits on here but a few misses too, light 3

i like this a lot actually, the bleak depressing vibe is great, like the tones. i gave their other a strong 4 and this is also a strong 4, should probably listen to them more!

a bit camp, strong 3 for some strong moments

lacks refinement

this is the tarkus guys right? its ok, not a great live

not especially impressed actually, feels like some broadway yankee shit. the way she sings is a bit over the top

probably wasnt in the right mood for this first time round, dont feel like i wanna funk myself and listen to it again.

really weird record, surprisngly electronic, the sitars on butter the soul probably a 4 because it needs a revisit for sure

tolerable pop, nothing super special tbh

white man with geetar

christmas album / jingle vibes. "let's call the whole thing off" is the worst song ive heard in a while, made me physically sick 1

sounds like bjork i like the cover more than the music want to like this, its just a bit too advanced for me, 2.3 ish

good fun strong 3

fine, sounds older than it actually is.. light light 3

nothing super standout maybe strong 3? good in background but nothing to focus on

a bit better than their other stuff we've had, i still find him annoying. decent 3

sounds like the beatles honestly pleasant but not incredible not sure what to say helps the time pass

mostly familiar with bobby from his feature with gorillaz, i did like what he delivered there and this is in a more leisurely funky style.

in theory i like her voice but this feels quite bjorky in the same way that its a bit uncomfortable to listen to. appreciated but not to my taste, 2

pretty good, not sure how it compares to "rust in peace" since it's been a while. same calibre, very decent very palatable metal

listened while playing dota, have no recollection of album, played the best juggernaut game in a long while though, so 4+

it's ok, funnily enough they came on my radar the day before this because they had some new releases that i saw on RYM light 3, i found this to be very disjointed though there was not much wrong with individual tracks.

this is an absolute hood classic that i found about when someone in our high school played the acoustic (cover of bowie) of man who sold the world. nirvana on albums are great, but this has a special energy, there's no words. 5++

its a funny coincidence if not depressing to go from the MTV unplugged which came out after Kurt died, to the album that his drummer (dave) wrote to help him get over the suicide. Anyway, i like the foo fighters, never listened to stuff this old from them though. bit rough and a bit yelly, they get better (perhaps more poppy though) later

kinda dull, some nice moments i think a lot of these tracks would shine if part of a dj mix with other artists but together there's not a lot brought from this being an album and it gets samey. 3+

passable, mildly annoying in parts. doesnt have that much going for it 3-

nice, some of the singing bits could be better. would i listen again? fav tracks: possible worlds, 4-

fools gold is the best track on the album, the rest is fine, it doesnt have anything amazing going for it imo

starts off quite fun but i think it gets a little grating. 4-

ITS TRICKAYYYYYYYYYYYYY

big long, good funky vibes, 4-

bold to put your areola on the cover the voice usually breaks or makes these and this is alright, some of the songs are a bit janky but fun enough on the whole 4- (4 streak lol)

fine, lots of shorter radio fodder songs 3=

not as hard as i expected for "punk" forgettable but ok 3-

similarly to the other albums they've had on here, the cure deliver a melancholy that delivers pleasure straight to the soul fav tracks: play for today, secrets, a forest, seventeen seconds 4+

wanted to hate on it for being live but it's still pretty damn good ya kno 3=

live lemmy, not bad, some of the bits in between songs are horrendous probably gonna go harsh and 2+ it, i wouldnt listen to this over the clean album

good, strong 4. not as good at S/T

i actually listened to this before, not for a long time. it really shows the potential of good live and good country music, there's a great deal of emotion, fun and wonderful music packed into this album of bangers. one of Johnny's best! 5

bit of a broadway stage thing going on, not a fan of the style but have to respsect the fact i quite liked it, 4-

shes fine, 3+, i wouldn't put this on but i wouldn't turn it off if it was already playing?

oh yesssssssss i think i like moving pictures more, there's decent songs on here but not as good. light 4, probably should have gievn moving pictures a 5 in hindsight?

strong 3? it's a bunch of the who but without studio clean sound decent

sounds like dolly parton lol, i gave dolly a 2.5 but this is a bit less yee haw so ill stretch to a very very light 3--

got the one famous song on it, the rest is tolerable, 3=

"i have itchy fingers" ehh, there's some aspects of this to love but the liveness doesn't help sell him and i just found it annoying. 2- not even the hit single saves it since i find that annoying too, ooh baby fuck off

its kinda inoffensive rock, the voice can get tedious, the bangers are bops, it is what it is 3=

man with geetar but bland not feeling it mate

pretty great, this is what i think of when i hear the phrase "new wave" actually. the synths are absolutely killer throughout this, all killer no filler 4+ / 5?? the only thing i dont like is the silence at the start of elegia but that might just be my copy

short clean and tasteful, 3=

like a blend between greenday and weezer with the appeal of neither, splash in some of the united kingdom pop dusting on top and you've got this, while not particularly problematic just another of these dime a dozen rock albums 2

zoned out a little during this so perhaps didnt give it the full attention but seems enjoyable, not too bad, light 4?

lots of easy listening big ass bops, hell yea not sure what the cover art is meant to be though 4= fav tracks: rock of ages, billy's got a gun, photograph, die hard the hunter

found this offensively dull, crappy beats and flat vocals

didn't realise money for nothing had slurs in it bops are good, tail end a little weaker, still stretch to a light 4

psychy kinda rock, not tragic, strong 3 / light 4?

ehhhh like a 2.5 tolerable

not bad, so many stones i dunno how to rank them all. light 4?

its ok, theres not really anything wrong with it but i associate this music more with being in movies (or tv ads) rather than something people actually listen to because it's old / sounds old? light 3 for that reason i think

more mellow and easier to vibe to than yoshimi i liked the beat on 'the observer' lite 4

old school, some cool tracks with cool delivery, but the instrumental is a bit squeaky at some times 3=

when i see the name jacques i think of marge learning to bowl france can suck it

somehow i associated iggy with something heavier, more rocky this sounds like a bowie album sang by a yank (which makes sense given the history of how it came about) strong 3 i suppose

i recall white being better, not all too impressed tbh

spacemen 3 = 3 (did i make this "joke" already?) it could hit 4 on the right day, but not every day

its a little bit quirky holds up spork, not terrible, hovers between a 3 and a 4 and the problem is mostly that if i had a vinyl of this it would never get played 3

deerhoof is better kinda inoffensive rocky thing without too much going for it at first listen light 3...

some alright tracks, some very very 80s garbage on others. light 3

The style is ok, I like his voice but not necessarily the pronunciation. The lightest of fours because it's interesting.

funkayyyyyyy

actually legendary, there's some really wicked tunes on this one. how have i not heard these before fav tracks: break and enter, full throttle, poison, no good, one love, claustrophobic sting

sex dwarf is a masterpiece, i knew tainted love of course, but this is really really great, a little bit camp in places but the synths slap i can't imagine this coming out as the debut in fuckin 1980, strong 4 / light 5,

ayy, finally some billy. Has a style, well executed, doesn't fully deliver to my personal taste 4=

surprisingly good, strong vibe on this one that caught me off guard dece 4

pretty good glam rock kinda thing, surprisingly enjoyable actually, enough to stretch to a 4. had an underdog angle, probably wouldn't rate it a 4 if it came from a band like KISS or something

not awful, its u2. feels like a 3 of rock that shows some creativity at times but never pushes the boat too far leaving you with... something fairly average on the whole

whys it so long surprising there are so many tracks with 100m+ views i've never heard before overall solid tho, lots of influences from this on later music and loads of familiar samples taken from this (I assume) strong 3

A kinda Brit laddish drinking kinda thing, the instrumentals are a lot better than the moaning Not a fan of the lyrics so it's a 3, could be a four on a drunk day.

i think my friend's dad used to listen to them, (and went to see them live?) i remember the name but not sure if i know any songs theres a real smorgasboard of stuff on here, dont love her voice, the album is a bit confused worth a listen but not again, 2

great grunge, very very solid and a high point for the genre strong 4

on the 1-5 scale, xtal is a 10/5 track glorious fuzzy ambient beats, i think there's a slight dip at I/ Green Calx , but there's so many hood classic bangers (tha, pulsewidth, ageispolis, heliospan, schottkey, ptolemy, actium) that it has to be a 5.

so noisy, listening to years of gizz has kinda spoilt me, this has good moments but some real lows too. light 2, never again

was really not expecting an album on this list to have someone from dreadzone on track 1 some good tracks, some middling. space shanty was great light 4

fine indie / light psych / blues rock kinda thing inoffensive 3, nothing really stands out for me despite the good variety of songs

would be easy to give this a good score cos its elvis ya kno but actually there's very little of interest to me here, so it's a 2

noisy guitars and bri*ish wailing, no thanks

a bit loud and harsh, 2.5

inoffensive american rock, on the side of a strong 3?

the song private dancer felt a bit painfully long, some of the songs are quite depressing perhaps a light 4? it kinda flew by while being quite fun so

if its french, is it world music? ragga jam was funny... was quite good, you dont need to understand the vocals the way they are integrated with the music on this, clean fresh beats deserves the 4

oh boy a second lcd soundsystem album much easier to enjoy than the one we had before, "how do you sleep" was a decent track i do still loathe the vocals, especially on "tonite" and "emotional haircut". strong 3? the highs don't outweigh the lows for me sadly

Congolese deez nuts

i didn't pay close attention to the lyrics which might be my issue, but i found this a little bit dull, sorry lou

his voice is so nasal, i can't stand it on this

i think i enjoyed this, though it was hectic at work at the time. nice bit of british rock, a bit of an amalgam of lots of bands of that time in terms of sound, like rolling stones or queen, bits of bowie or something. strong 3 / lite 4

i feel like i've heard a few of these songs before, on radio 6 perhaps? kool thing is on geetar hero 3 as well. i adore the guitars sound on tunic. it has some special energy that's the same at the start of mote, it's a cure-esque dark vibe that is incredible. It's not there on the whole album unfortunately the alternating male and female vocals are great. decent 4 fav tracks: tunic, mote, cinderella's big score

mfw sixty-seventh studio album cool covers, some nice takes on the songs and well executed probably strong 3 / light 4

didnt love it, felt a bit drawn out. there's prog with more bite to it perhaps an off day, light 3

strong punk, the vocalist sounds a little bit like a saner version of the Dillinger Escape Plan fella i've heard "on a rope" somewhere before, perhaps crash or from high school friends? fell off a bit towards the end, light 4

inoffensive kinda glam rock, quite easy to digest and enjoy, fun album cover perhaps 10 minutes too long but a very strong 3

you know what willie, you're alright.

some of the song lyrics are a bit cringe, the religion / overly psychy bits... still, kinda enjoyable

strong trumpet, strong jazz lite 4 that is typical of jazz i suppose

the boss cheery poppy stadium rock kinda dealio, its alright, like a better u2 middle 3

good grunge, like the genre, like this. lite 4

proper pop, interesting tracks, interesting instruments, character strong from prince, gets a 4 from me

i suppose the question on everyone's mind, is whether this is as good as 'fragile'. and the short answer, is no

there's no way in hell someone listens to this album all in one go that said, it sounds older than it is (though it's still 20 years old) has a fresh and oldskool vibe at the same time, some good tracks but i am not gansta enough for dis shit

a bit mellow, not necessarily in either a good or bad way

the singer is a bit of a wanker, lost all my good will on the first track

saints or sinners? pretty good actually, didnt have high hopes going in but was alright. light 4

its probably fine but i cant say i love this sort of blues, its just a bit 'tramp in a dive bar' ya know

oh man, i've heard eple loads of times, one of these bands i've heard of but never sat down and listened to an album of. vibrant, colourful electronic with interesting and bright (running out of synonyms here) tunes that seem to hit the perfect balance between minimalistic and enthralling gets the feet tapping for sure, but i dont think its quite a 5 fav tracks: poor leno, in space, so easy, remind me

finally, the opportunity to give something a 1

about half of this is generic rocky (though good for 1994) but then you have these melodic, entrancing radiohead ballads that I would say is their signature sound. street spirit is great probably the same ballpark as Röyksopp, just short of a 5 i reckon fav tracks: street spirit, fake plastic trees, my iron lung,

the beats are pretty crude and generally very lo-fi but i guess that's part of the charm some strong lyrics and rapping, better than central cee for sure avg3?

rock

feeling generous so giving this a strong 3, good variety and not unpleasant

didn't blow me away, but there wasn't anything noticably wrong with it either. quite a polished rap album. went back fro a second listen, i think the lyrics dont form any real connection which lets this down. avg 3

i expected something more punky, the variety of tracks was nice. solid 4! fav tracks: lost in the supermarket, death or glory, the guns of brixton, jimmy jazz,

its not loveless

listened to this before, some really cool iconic tracks. daft punky style electronic, quite like. great drums. light 4?

i listened to it, i can't remember a single thing

bit slow until "a sense of rage", even afterwards it's just so long, and not that good? but what would be my benchmark of a good drum and bass album? level select by pizza hotline? sewerslvt? the talvin singh? i think for the most part this genre thrives off singles and then dj mixes rather than albums, except in unusual circumstances. avg to strong 3 for this?

shoutout to the nigerian government

wait, the boris akuma no uta cover is a reference to this? that's funny and surprising. anyway, nick drake continues to deliver and justifies his album placements on the list to be honest, one of the best artists to be introduced to.

Strong Xgaze, decent 4. Might be /mu/core, was already in my Spotify likes

strong debut, very spacy shine a light is a cool track

soft kinda ballad, a bit dull, not especially my style avg2

art i tried but like track 5 this one was dead on arrival

decent

hey the synth from hard times sounds a bit like DG's system blower a bit slow, feels like they've forgotten to put a bit of the backing track on each song not a huge fan tbh, 1.5

bluesy, not sure how i feel about rod stewart's vocals on this (generally, not great) felt kinda eh on first listen, gave another try and will lean to a 3.65

there's a few tracks here that are mostly famous after being covered by nirvana in the mtv set, but they are still great tracks on their own in their own rendition not an everyday listen but pretty good stuff, variety is a word that gets used a lot in these ratings but this is a smorgasbord of tracks

can't deny she has a good voice but im not a fan of stuff like the 'house of the rising sun' cover just think its a bit over the top, pref something more 'casual' 'low key' the song in spanish is great lite 3

we had something by these guys before right? kinda intersting midwest styled rock with some character but also some american blandness. avg 3, inoffensive but not particularly exciting

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZW3jqFlnlo anyways, sounds like the stones, not their best. ehhh

this firmly confirms i am not a bollywood fan physical pain

couldn't take the guy seriously as soon as i realised he did the toy story soundtrack

funky, bit slow and old skool but kinda cool i like the three tracks from trans-europe express that all have the same train chuggy beat cover art is banging. strong4?

fucking dreadful, they can go get bummed

ok electronic, very disjointed and more of a collection of stuff than a proper album. some of the sampling is a bit crap to be honest, average 3 across the record?

another iggie bowie collab eh? its just fine, not as good as the other one, light 3

perhaps his best we've had so far, the jazzy chat style works well with his voice its probably not really a 4, a strongish 3?

fine, has the ac/dc kinda vibe where they're not taking themselves too seriously. strong 3?

she's had a real redemption arc for me in this 1001 journey, the early stuff we got was horrid, this is much better. i liked "the whores hustle..." and the follow up track with the surprise thom york is gorgeous would have to compare this side by side with the other stuff but in vacuum this seems like a light 4

why is half of this missing on spotify :/ its fine, its stadium rock recorded live, you get what it says on the tin

CAN I GET A YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE HAW

not that bad not that good easy to give it a 3 and fogettaboutit

got more soul than jamie's olive oil

fine, not feeling very verbose today, its fine.

nice solo, simpsons did it better tho if i wanted to listen to this type of rock / metal i'd rather listen to sabbath and have it executed flawlessly. not a bad record, just a bit unpolished. light 3

my friend likes the national but i never gave them a proper shot and found them a bit dull. this is terrific, poignant songs and melodies and a very enjoyable listen. Not too depressing, but decently melancholy, nice vibe. can't complain really. it's a strong 4? I don't know if it has enough appeal to relisten but i did 2 in one day and it was good fun.

very cool, light 4

woman with guitar, the epitome of average giving it a 2 because it's so forgettable, i suppose it says "whatever" on the cover...

strong debut album, a few classics on here. strong female pop but sounds a little dated i furiously hate the cover art, everything from the font, the colors, the composition, bare feet in the street strong 3

classic english punk sound, short snappy stuff. light 3

later career bowie is interesting and new to me. the back half is very cool. light 4 good record

can't believe he'd steal ideas for songs from death grips... anyway, bit tedious at the starts but a few songs have their moments. average 3, not great as an album

never even heard of maxwell strong 4, great r&b / soul, flew by

nice to put a sound to the name since i've heard of buddy holly (thanks weezer) but not listened

fine? better on vinyl first 2 tracks are good, spying glass is good, the rest is eh, the light my fire cover is painful dont mind it when its on but would never pick this to listen to as an album i think, light 3

nice variety of tracks, strong 3?

a bit unpolished but impressive that this came out in 1999, some great tracks. (edit: saying that, korn's follow the leader was out same year and that's in a similar style, though less hardcore) the random DJ record scratches and bits are very funny (and are probably not meant to be) one of their later albums would get a 5 from me but probably not this one, those have more nostalgia value

pleasant background music straight out of the sims with vocals added light 4

sounds like talking heads, could take it or leave it. 2.5

/mu/core /mu/core /mu/core can't beat that first track, fantastic album

i gave the previous dolly a 2, this still is dolly and executed well, hit at the right time so it gets a 3, wasn't that bad.

ah fuck, the titular track is on the gta: san andreas k-dst radio, that's a nostalgia fest banger song to start with somehow manages to hit the sweet spot between country and rock and roll to deliver something that is far better than it has any right to be. probably just skewed because of the great opener. Still, it gets a 4

the phd line on "breathe in breathe out" killed me you have to say no-one does it like kanye i like last call especially the first half. fav tracks: "get em high", "all falls down", "we don't care",

flava flav is not in jail all the songs start sounding the same after some point

a bit too on the art side?

casually puts this out as his 16th album... strong stuff from steven, nice instrumentals, very nice decent 4

nothing magic about this, there are some bits that sound vaguely promising but its just discordant noise for the other 98%

sounds american despite being british not sure what to call this. not a huge fan, generic rocky thing?

drums go hard, typical 4 bye bye

Justin has a great voice for this kinda band, nice polished modern take on glam rock. Stolen from a youtube comment, but it's all killer no filler! good range of songs from hype bangers to ballads. light 4

to be honest, wasn't expecting this to keep me listening for 77 minutes some songs are a bit too poppy (i hate 'beautiful', it has been way overplayed on radios and adverts in the UK ) but the rest of this is actually really solid R&B very surprised, light 4? I would listen again lol

i find this album much like a prune. sweet and somewhat satisfying, but you don't find yourself saying "i really fancy a prune" or eating the whole bag in one sitting. strong 2

like a new wave genesis, with at times less annoying vocals kate bush feature was a nice surprise light 3

sounds a bit like the cure, nice gloomy aesthetic, a bit lame at times lightly 3 probs not a revisit

knew the name from #4, nice classic to have and get to know on the list. very cool example of what you can do with synths, light 4

found this a bit dull and boring compared to some other new wave we've had, the instrumentals got stale in the songs pretty quickly? felt more like noise than music 2

fine industrial, bit long, not a huge fan of the guys style. light 3

i dont think it's as good as joshua tree which i gave a 4, but it's definitely better than the stadium filler we've had from them on here because it has a bit of character and personality.

I think I have heard "Without You" before. such a great track, and there's plenty of good stuff on the album too. coconut is so out of place though and almost makes me want to spite rate this 1/2. fav tracks: without you, hated tracks: coconut it's a 4 if you skip coconut i would say

oh to be 13 again. meteora is better but this is a cool debut, some classics on here

but is it art or is it just random jam sounds held together by tasty, tasty glue? persian love was good 2.5

more sims soundtrack bossa nova hard to dislike it but it's hard for this to impress. 3.5

not as good as the one we had recently, kinda passable to be honest. 3

feels like a demo tape, some cool ideas on here. not really a proper album though

great album, lots of stuff to sing along to, used to listen to this more back in the day. falls off slightly at the end. 4+ fav tracks: piggy, heresy, march of the pigs, i do not want this

strong 3, probs some of the best the US has put out tbh

prog, not particularly engaging compared to some of their other stuff

feels like generic slightly edgy indie / alt rock, lands the same as the previous becks at an average, forgettable light 3

girl from ipanema is a recognizable one still sims music, significantly more jazzy than some of the others so it gets the mandatory jazz 4

rip bowie, went out continuing to be an artist and putting out quality new sounds. pretty depressing but definitely something to listen to before you die fav tracks: lazarus, girl loves me

some funky moments on this, similar to talking heads but better? decent 3 to light 4 fav tracks: turn away, I can't help myself (sax solo)

my pussy was reupholstered by yeezy

solid prog, don't get the giga hype though, it's a 4 not a 5 for me

reminds of Elliott Smith and U2, more energetic though. its fine. strong 3 for this late 90s indie rock

Senegalese deez nuts

hey it's that death grips sample, biattttttttch. i guess that's part of the reason they cant sell exmilitary not particularly memorable or interesting beyond that

fine, it feels like there is probably a 4 hidden in there amongst all the filler.

these guys might be a highlight of the 1001 for me, love their aesthetic and I never would have listened to them beyond "kool thing". great vocals, great guitars. strong 4

if album.genre = "jazz"; album.rating = 4 fav tracks: teen town, palladium

instrumentals are a bit like deltron 3030 and show the most potential, bu definitely feels like a mix/demo tape rather than a complete album. strong 3 fav tracks: bladerunners, no 1 st

they definitely were one of the tops bands of that time Tight, punchy catchy songs with a distinct enough vocalist to stand out. Origin of Symmetry is a perfect 5, this is nowhere near as good as a whole album unfortunately fav tracks: starlight, knights of cydonia light 4 on this

rattled me pretty good, it's like a weezer but of the mid 80s light 4

jangly michael jackson style poppy stuff not a huge fan, strong 2?

interesting cover art decent, and has their character, but not as compelling as their others we've had strong 3

never heard of these guys but they brought some good stuff to the table decent 4 fav tracks: animal zoo, mr skin, space child, life has just begun

really good until they slammed down the autotune and created the masterpiece that is "nobody's perfect" without the autotune it would be pushing a 4 but those tracks are shocking the difference between "Paradise" and "Gone" is night and day, it sounds like a different artist almost american pie is a real cherry on the top of this as well

suprisingly good, didnt have high expectations somehow from the cover, it looks like hiphop but is actually full of clever tracks not sure if i'd come back to it? fav tracks: jump, she wants to move, breakout, light 4

lullaby country & covers, i am falling asleep here its both a 2 and a 4 at the same time, the songs are well executed, great singing, but it is very slow paced and hushed. did a partial second listen and i think its another 4ski

is it as good as green river? some classic tracks, but less nostalgia value on this one for me strong 3

seems similar to their other one, palatable 90s rock. seems a bit older / punkier, "celebrity skin" was more modern sounding female nirvana vibe on this one, light 4?

definitely sounds like zappa had his paws on this one experimental psych can easily go off the deep end and i think this does in their words, "hot poop". light 2

wow, cool record. fav tracks: tantos desejos, na neblina, sereia, samba do gringo, v strong 4?

bit slow, bit dull, feels dated for being from 2000(!) waste of time

the death grips of jazz? its just noise, too far off the jazz end
