Bone Machine by Tom Waits

This is my 3rd Tom waits album on this list and I have accepted by now that I will never understand it. I like a lot of music that can be dissonant, weird, borderline unprofessional, out of tune, not on beat, etc. But Tom Waits is always part mediocre folk and part garbage noises with this weird muppet sounding dude trying to sing over it, but failing because he misread the label and started swallowing chewing tobacco I can't

Live! by Fela Kuti

I'm a jazz nerd and a drummer this album was unfair to the competition godlike

BEYONCÉ by Beyoncé

Beyoncé has an amazing voice but this album did absolutely nothing for me, I already forgot everything about what I listened to

Madman Across The Water by Elton John

This was my first time listening to an Elton John album in full and my man knows how to make good music

Yeezus by Kanye West

When you copy Death Grips' homework poorly and then ask Rick Rubin to go over it before handing it over

Californication by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Jul 28 2021

Dave Rubin my balls, funk weezer

Viva Hate by Morrissey
Jul 29 2021

Viva La Bam was better

Graceland by Paul Simon
Jul 30 2021

🎵🎵🎵 Under the sea 🎵🎵🎵

The Stooges by The Stooges
Aug 03 2021

didn't resonate with me, it's not bad except for that 10 min track but it's also not great

Court And Spark by Joni Mitchell
Aug 05 2021

don't understand the hate, y'all will listen to a fat middle age man named danzig yell about his mother over and over again but this lady giving us her star trek TNG captain's log in song form is not ok for some reason

Live! by Fela Kuti
Aug 06 2021

I'm a jazz nerd and a drummer this album was unfair to the competition godlike

Fred Neil by Fred Neil
Aug 09 2021

Tarantino-core but like nothing wrong with that, it's fine

Funeral by Arcade Fire
Aug 18 2021

This album was important to me when it came out and and I still really like it today, it's part "I like it" and part "i'm a homer" but otherwise it's hard to explain it other than by saying I love pretty much everything about it. It's a shame that the legacy of this album is a bunch of shitty bands trying to recreate this sound for a decade and an original band I just don't care about whatsoever outside of this lp

BEYONCÉ by Beyoncé
Aug 19 2021

Beyoncé has an amazing voice but this album did absolutely nothing for me, I already forgot everything about what I listened to

Liege And Lief by Fairport Convention
Aug 20 2021

This album was alright They're edging on occult rock or early doom, but they refused to accept Satan into their heart and that was a mistake

Darklands by The Jesus And Mary Chain
Aug 25 2021

It wasn't bad bad so it saves itself from a 1 star review, but man was that a whole lot of unmemorable nothing

Deloused in the Comatorium by The Mars Volta
Aug 30 2021

The music is good but definitely not as good as I remembered, it really rubbed me the wrong way this time. This album oozes pretentiousness in ways I can't explain

Play by Moby
Aug 31 2021

Moby seems like an insufferable person and i've honestly never heard anything he's made before or after this album, I legit thought he stopped making music soon after this. but trying to stay as objective as I can this album is pretty good, he got a lot of great samples and did good things with them, he made a lot of forgettable loops catchy and memorable... Most of the album is still really easy to listen to today which in itself is a massive feat compared to a lot of music from that specific era.

Out Of The Blue by Electric Light Orchestra
Sep 03 2021

Way too long and some songs feel like fillers, but overall a classic and a good album

Yeezus by Kanye West
Sep 07 2021

When you copy Death Grips' homework poorly and then ask Rick Rubin to go over it before handing it over

Phrenology by The Roots
Sep 08 2021

I like this album but was a little disappointed with this listen, and it's a strange pick for The Roots, they have much much better material out there

Paul's Boutique by Beastie Boys
Sep 10 2021

negatives: couple of songs I didn't like, notably High Plain Drifter, and a little too long... I was kinda over it 35min in so 53 min is a little too much otherwise I mean it's really good and I respect it a lot despite it not really being my style. I feel like it could grow on me even more too, to be honest

S.F. Sorrow by The Pretty Things
Sep 13 2021

Started off strong, but it got old 3 songs in and it was just irritatingly Beatlesy after that

At Folsom Prison by Johnny Cash
Sep 14 2021

I don't like live albums UNLESS they bring something to the table, and this one does exactly that.

Brothers In Arms by Dire Straits
Sep 15 2021

Couple of good riffs in what is otherwise a brain numbing boring album

Queens of the Stone Age by Queens Of The Stone Age
Sep 20 2021

I'd be lying if I didn't say it's a generous 4. I like this album fine but I can't help compare it to some of their later works which are some of my favorite albums. it's lacking a bit of punch

This Year's Model by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Sep 21 2021

2 seems harsh, 3 is a little generous, still fairly sure Elvis Costello paid to get on this list so many times

Kala by M.I.A.
Sep 22 2021
Sincere by Mj Cole
Sep 23 2021

Generic.

Band On The Run by Paul McCartney and Wings
Sep 28 2021

This is a generous 4, I really liked that album at some point but it didn't hit me as hard this time around mrs vanderbilt still slaps

Sep 29 2021

This album played with fire and gets a 2, but that 2 is very close to a 1 insanely boring and baffling choice, you're gonna make me point at the sign with all the obvious picks missing from the list again

Calenture by The Triffids
Sep 30 2021

This book sucks man

Ten by Pearl Jam
Oct 01 2021

Oct 25 2021

The ArchAndroid by Janelle Monáe
Oct 26 2021

Too long, never caught my attention

Here, My Dear by Marvin Gaye
Oct 28 2021

i don't care how good the music is, it's fucking sad for you if you're out here writing love songs about your now-ended marriage, to fulfill a contractual obligation to your ex-wife, while you're already remarried. holy shit dude call a shrink or something, i'm gonna listen to one of the other 15 marvin gaye albums

Exit Planet Dust by The Chemical Brothers
Nov 01 2021

Not my favorite genre but at least it was enjoyable

Cut by The Slits
Nov 04 2021
Ananda Shankar by Ananda Shankar
Nov 10 2021

Siembra by Willie Colón & Rubén Blades
Nov 12 2021

Zombie by Fela Kuti
Nov 15 2021
Nov 17 2021

real conflicted because I like a couple of songs and I have a lot of nostalgia for it, but this album aged like milk. Went in expecting to like revisiting it but the majority of the songs left me physically cringing

Superfly by Curtis Mayfield
Nov 18 2021

great album, it lost my attention at some point but it could grow into a 5
