Les deux doigts dans la prise

Les sheriff · 1 likes

4/5

Do I speak French? No. Do I like this album? YES. What I love about this album is that it opened my eyes to a faction of Punk Rock that I didn't think existed and isn't that the point of this list? Congrats to OP for submitting this album, this is my first on the user submissions and its giving me good hopes. 4/5

Tomorrow Belongs To Me

The Sensational Alex Harvey Band · 1 likes

4/5

I had to go back to my review of the TSAHB from the list and had an okay impression of it. This album I absolutely loved and easily think this one would be a better representative of the band and genre on the list. Thanks OP for another new to me listen. 4/5

Blink-182

2/5

I never liked Blink-182, I always thought they were the pop version of Green Day - which is poppy punk. After listening to this, I still don't like Blink-182. 2/5

4/5

Very rarely do I want an album to last longer, but this 25 minute whateverthefuckitis was pure joy to listen to. 4/5

Les deux doigts dans la prise

Les sheriff

4/5

You'd Prefer an Astronaut

Hum

3/5

I vaguely recall hearing Stars when it first came out but don't remember much else of this band. While sounding on par for the rest of 90s grunge sound this was a nice different listen. 3/5

Tomorrow Belongs To Me

The Sensational Alex Harvey Band

4/5

Dead Man's Party

Oingo Boingo

4/5

My first thought was wasn't there enough Danny Elfman on this list, I then realized there isn't any. This album is such a must listen, big L on the author(s) for leaving this out. 4/5

The Pros and Cons of Hitch Hiking

Roger Waters

3/5

This really is an alt-The Wall. And I aint mad. An album like this really shows how much Roger Waters was involved with PF in the 80s. I grew up on this album and it's one of my PF favorites so a separate album with similar sounds and a different story is a good option. 3/5

From The Lions Mouth

The Sound

3/5

I guess we can call the Cure post-punk too? Not bad. 3/5

Witness

Modern Life Is War

3/5

Coming from a big Punk / Thrash / Hardcore background, MLiW is a new band for me. Sadly they don't give me much to be excited about. 3/5

F♯ A♯ ∞

Godspeed You! Black Emperor

4/5

Such a sublime album, adding another album to my list of bands I never knew existed. 4/5

Blink-182

2/5

I never liked Blink-182, I always thought they were the pop version of Green Day - which is poppy punk. After listening to this, I still don't like Blink-182. 2/5

A Charlie Brown Christmas

Vince Guaraldi Trio

5/5

Baseline Christmas album and key piece of influential music that introduces younger listeners to Jazz and Classical. 5/5

Phantom Power

The Tragically Hip

3/5

I've never heard the Tragically Hip but I'm familiar enough with their fandom to know they're big in Canada. This album was okay to me. Sounds very much like another Canadian band, which is okay as well. 3/5

Atrocity Exhibition

Danny Brown

3/5

Interesting new take on Hip Hop and how it evolves. Always heard of Danny Brown but never really listened to him. Enjoyed this one. 3/5

The Shape Of Jazz To Come

Ornette Coleman

5/5

I'm reminded how angry I am that actual masterpieces like this album are not on the list and a metric shit-ton of BritPop is. 5/5

Oil of Every Pearl's Un-Insides

SOPHIE

3/5

Never judge a book by its cover - unless its everything you expect it to be 3/5

Once

Nightwish

2/5

Like TSO but less Christmasy 2/5

I Can Hear The Heart Beating As One

Yo La Tengo

3/5

Indie noise rock that sounds exactly like the rest of the rest of the noisy indie rock. I'm just surprised this came out in 1997, it sounds more like 2007. 3/5

Romance

Fontaines D.C.

2/5

Average rock that probably needs more time to "cook" before I can really evaluate. 2/5

Script Of The Bridge

The Chameleons

3/5

An album or band I never heard before. This was a fun listen and should easily replace a number of the bland UK post punk / britpop albums on this list. 3/5

Symbolic

Death

3/5

1995 me would've loved this album. 2026 me thinks 1995 me needs to listen to more music, but still thinks this is pretty good. 3/5

People Who Eat People Are The Luckiest People In The World

AJJ

4/5

Very rarely do I want an album to last longer, but this 25 minute whateverthefuckitis was pure joy to listen to. 4/5

Quadrophenia

The Who

4/5

Another Who album, great. Wait… Quadrophenia ISN'T on the original list? Did the author(s) not think the Who aren't British enough??? 4/5

Tragic Kingdom

No Doubt

3/5

Man, the 90s were great. No Doubt's Southern Cali-Ska-Punk-arama was everywhere. 3.5/5

Circles

Mac Miller

3/5

Mac Miller isn't for me. As a user submitted album I have less issue with a recent album being on this list. 3/5

La cagaste... Burt Lancaster

Hombres G

3/5

The album starts off with a great title and gets stuck in the weeds of a poppy album where each track sounds the same as the one before it. 3/3

My Brain Hurts

Screeching Weasel

3/5

The poppiest of 90s pop-punk. 3/5

The Universe Smiles Upon You

Khruangbin

3/5

Was looking forward to this album after hearing their collabs with Leon Bridges. This wasn't what I was expecting and the whole album felt dragged out. 3/5

Almoraima

Paco de Lucía

3/5

While a fun listen and a good primer into classical guitar and Latin Jazz, Paco's technique is on full display yet the album feels slow and repetitive. 3.5/5

Live in San Francisco

Thee Oh Sees

3/5

Good listening, picking up PiL influence. 3/5

Stage Four

Touché Amoré

2/5

Pretty standard shout rock. 2/5

Gordon

Barenaked Ladies

4/5

Wait… this isn't on the list? Big oversight by the authors. It's not like there's not enough room with all of the extra redundant BritPop. 4/5
