Black Sabbath
Black Sabbath
pretty good album
I don’t really have strong feelings for it, positive or negative.
it’s pretty groovy, I guess.
it had an awkward start but by the end I thought it was pretty good.
in terms of overall quality, I’d give it an 8/10 - it’s well written and composed and other than a few awkward parts, holds up really well.
however when it comes to my own preference I think I’d give it a 6/10. it’s not bad, it’s just not something I’d feel like listening to again for a while.
Most the stuff I liked from the album is easy to find in other albums (like Santanas debut) and most of the stuff that made it unique like the harmonica or the jaw harp, I didn’t really like.
Again, not saying it’s bad. I believe it’s an objectively good album, but on my own preference, I just didn’t really like it a whole lot.

Pretzel Logic
Steely Dan
Hell yeah, such a great album.
I’ve listened to some of Steely Dans songs before (always loving them) but never got around to listening to one of his albums.
Well I just finished this and it was just as good as I was hoping for.
One of my favorite songs from the album has gotta be Barrytown. On top of the really cool lyrics (Growing up in Salt Lake City, I can assume what the song is about) it has such a catchy composition and style. I really love this album, definitely one I’ll listen to again soon.
I’ll give it a 9/10.
My only complaint is that after listening to the whole album, I feel like I heard a little too much Steely Dan in a row. As much as I love his music, it can feel repetitive listening to a whole album of just that.
But still, the album is fairly diverse giving you something fresh with each track.
Great album, I’ll be listening to more Steely Dan in the future.

Bongo Rock
Incredible Bongo Band
WOW
I am so glad I listened to that.
Perfect 10/10 for me. That was just miraculous. Actual sonic perfection.
It blows my mind that these groovy songs that slap so hard were made in the early 70’s before my parents were even born.
I have heard one of the songs before, Bongolia from Baby Driver. It’s really funny when I’m listening to old stuff like David Brubeck or Focus and am like… “Where have I heard this song before?”
And once I realize it’s Baby Driver, it makes me love the movie that much more just because of how based Edgar Wrights taste in music is.
Anyway, I couldn’t possibly recommend this album more. Actually just incredible.

1984
Van Halen
walked into this totally blind and 34 minutes later I have to give it a 10/10.
I’m not too familiar with Van Halen. I’m familiar with the name but never looked into their discography.
I can’t help but feel like I’m missing some context on the significance of this album. Like all rock bands, I’m sure listening to their previous albums will help me appreciate this more, but still for what it is I think it’s amazing.
I love how fun, fast, and sassy it is. As soon as I heard that iconic and instantly recognizable synth in ‘Jump’ I knew this was going to be a great (although tragically short) album.
I’m a big fan of synth rock and pop rock and this hits all the right spots. I’ll look into more of Van Halen’s stuff for sure. I’m a little worried that 1984 is the peak and everything goes downhill from there tho.
Regardless, their self titled debut seems to have pretty high ratings so I’ll look into that one soon.

Bad
Michael Jackson
I’ve listened to Michael Jackson my whole life, mostly just the classics but those songs are some of the damn best songs to come out of the decade.
I’ve never listened to one of his albums before and I’m sad to say it’s really disappointing.
Maybe I’m just biased because I was only looking forward to the popular songs like Bad, Man in the Mirror, Smooth Criminal (Amazing songs by the way) but the rest of the album just sucked, the songs were all so bland.
Like every other song that wasn’t iconic sounded like a lame B-Track.
At best the songs were repetitive and cliché but at worst they sounded kinda rapey and insulting to the listener.
I don’t know, those three good songs really are amazing songs and for that I’ll give the album a 6/10.
I really wished the rest of the album could’ve had more quality in it.

Iron Maiden
Iron Maiden
it’s been a full week now and of course it comes back around to metal
my expectations were really low
I don’t really like metal, especially the Iron Maiden songs I’ve heard in the past
but this album was actually pretty good
I really liked the first two songs Prowler and Remember Tomorrow
the next three songs Running Free, Phantom of the Opera and Transylvania not so much
I mean track four had some nice bits in the middle but overall not really for me
that transition from Transylvania to Strange World tho, track six is really good
I like my rock progressive, I will eat up any art rock shit you throw at me, whether it’s King Crimson or Steve Hackett, Godspeed You! Black Demon or Silver Mt. Zion
I just really love that kind of stuff, and I felt parts of that in this album
I’d say Remember Tomorrow was my favorite song. It had a nice intro, decent hook and nice, compatible vocals
the song really worked well for me
close second is Strange World, also really nice and fairly proggy
the two finals songs after that don’t I didn’t really love either
anyway, really fun album, a few songs that were less than great but I thought that there was something to enjoy from every song and tracks 1, 2 and 6 were are really awesome
I’ll give it an 8/10
I really liked it, it was really cool
I doubt I’ll ever listen to any other Iron Maiden (unless it shows up on here) but I’m glad I listened to this album

This Is Fats Domino
Fats Domino
this album FUCKIN SLAAPS, every songs a total banger
giving anything less than a 10/10 would be a sin
it was kinda hard to find this album since it’s not on apple music, but it IS on spotify for some reason so I just made a playlist with the correct track listing on apple music since all the songs are on The Complete Imperial Singles collection (except for The Fat Man’s Hop - which should not be confused with The Fat Man, a totally different song)
yeah this album is just the best, I love this sort of rock n’ roll meets jazz meets slight r&b elements
it’s such a fun album full of diverse, catchy, iconic bangers
I’ve never heard of this blessed man before hearing this album and he’s already one of my favorites now

Slanted And Enchanted
Pavement
that was… rough
look, I like being optimistic with music, but this was a damn hard able to enjoy
i don’t think i hate it, that’s too strong, i just felt pretty bleh listening to most of the songs
I liked the last minute of Summer Babe, reminded me a bit of Neutral Milk Hotel a tiny bit i guess?
I don’t know, i really, really love Neutral Milk Hotel and it’s hard to compare Jeff Mangums incredible work with this album
and the electric stuff in Fame Throwa sounded kinda cool, but christ i can’t stand the vocals
like i don’t mind weird vocals, i love Bjork and Jack Stauber and Ian Curtis, i don’t have anything against unique vocals.
but the damn singing on this album sounds like a flamboyant-emo starbucks employee reading his homemade poetry like he’s doing a limerick
i’ll give it a 4/10, like at least it was listenable, but i would really love to never hear this album again

Beautiful Freak
Eels
wow i really loved that
maybe it’s just late and my heads a little fucky but that really felt like a magical experience listening to that
such beautiful, unique, diverse compositions with every track
like every time a song would be near the end I would get very excited wondering what fun surprise I would get next
he often mixed together genres that shouldn’t work but HOLY SHIT do they work well
i’ll give it a 9/10, it’s almost perfect, I have two minor complaints:
firstly his vocals aren’t very diverse, I don’t hate his voice but I don’t necessarily love it, he regularly uses effects to spice it up and compensate for the lack of diversity but still i’d like a little more effort from his voice I guess
and second isn’t really a flaw, more just preference but the rock genre isn’t really my favorite, it’s not bad but it’s not really something i like listening to normally
still this is such a great album, i’m very glad I listened to this, such amazing song writing and surreal story telling with the lyrics, just awesome
I’ll definitely be looking into more of Eels’ discography

Music From Big Pink

really great album, my favorite songs are Tears of Rage and Lonesome Suzie.
such beautiful instrumentals and lyrics, with a really fun album cover, this is such a cool album. I’m glad I heard this.
i’ll give it an 8/10 for how much I enjoyed it, i’m not a huge country fan. The Weight had a nice chorus with the piano and all but i didn’t really like those verses, i mean they were okay, just not really my style.
overall, the album is groovy as fuck and i’ll definitely listen to their other albums, and i’ll watch the documentary that Scorsese directed

Ocean Rain
Echo And The Bunnymen
hell yeah, i love this album
i’ve liked Echo & The Bunnymen for years and i’ve heard most of the songs on this album already but i don’t think i’ve actually heard the whole thing front to back before and it was a really great experience.
least favorite song was Thorn of Crowns, it was just kind of lame to listen to but i loved all the other songs.
my favorite song has to be the one that got me into them in the first place: Nocturnal Me, and The Killing Moon is a close second.
i think it’s fair to give it a 10/10, i’m a sucker for Joy Division and The Smiths, this album is great for me

Ritual De Lo Habitual
Jane's Addiction
fun album, not really my kind of thing but it had some nice parts.
metal can be good sometimes but for the most part I’m not one to enjoy it.
I’ll give it a 6/10, I probably enjoyed Then She Did the most, I think it had a nice beginning, a cool buildup, and a really fun climax for an ending while still being a lot less fast and violent from the rest of the album.
Of Course was also pretty cool, kinda sounded like a B-side Beatles track.
Classic Girl was fun too, so I guess I just liked the last three songs the most.
Don’t get me wrong I love fast, violent music but usually not when it’s metal, I think the slow-jam/shoegaze-like genre is more fun for me.
This wasn’t really the kind of album I’d listen to just for the sake of sitting down and enjoying however I think these songs make good background music for other things to do.
I could picture myself putting this on a speaker and doing chores or gaming or something.
I might listen to one or two more Jane’s Addiction albums out of curiosity.

Let It Be
The Replacements
aw man, i’m a sucker for the 80’s
really fun album, my favorite song has to be Androgynous, that piano with the vocals were just beautiful to listen to, and the lyrics were really sweet and warmed my heart, the message was based as fuck, like the idea of gender is arbitrary and we should be able to where whatever we want wether it be masculine, feminine or something else. Really nice song :) really ahead of its time.
Sixteen Blue also had some really pretty instrumentals, great song.
I loved the rest of the album too, great hard rock. I’ll give it a 9/10.

Hypocrisy Is The Greatest Luxury
The Disposable Heroes Of Hiphoprisy
fun album, i’ll give it a 7/10
that’s gotta be the preachiest album I’ve ever heard, but honestly he made plenty of good points.
I really liked Music and Politics, those were cool instrumentals to rap/sing over.
and then Television, The Drug of the Nation was just a straight up classic.
I’ve never been a huge old-school hip-hop fan (which is apparent in my previous reviews)
i’m not too critical on it, it just isn’t really for me. This album was unique and had a lot of personality so that’s why i’m giving it the 7/10.

You Want It Darker
Leonard Cohen
better than I was expecting, I had a rough time with the first few songs
sorry, I love Leonard Cohens older stuff but his voice felt really jarring on this album, with some songs it worked really well but with others it was just too awkward
although the more I listened through the album, the more I warmed up to the vocals
what I really loved about it was the composition of these tracks
beautiful, beautiful instrumentation
I think Traveling Light really stood out to me, that was really cool production
Also that String Reprise was really nice
Overall a really great album, while I had trouble with the vocals I think the rest of the album sells it for me - 9/10

Low-Life
New Order
10/10
It’s tragic hearing Joy Division without Ian Curtis, but I think Gillian Gilbert was able to move everything to it’s fullest potential. Joy Division always sounded their best when they harnessed synths, I just really wish we could get Ian Curtis’ beautiful vocals and lyricism for New Order.
Despite that, this album is still INCREDIBLE. I love the gritty edge of Joy Division put in a Techno-pop dance style. It’s perfect music to jam to, whether to get hyped up (like Sub-Culture) or to get in a more dark mood (like Elegia)
Again in a perfect world, we would have Ian Curtis on this but of course, it’s tragically impossible so I have to see it for everything else that makes this album amazing. One of my favorite albums.

it reminds me a lot of Vashti Bunyan’s album Just Another Diamond Day (one of my favorite albums ever)
I would love to find more albums with this kind of sound
Cottage Songs by Naomi Lewis is a pretty nice album, but the genre is a little too different, it still sounds incredible and I love that album, but it could use a little more one on one with her voice and some warm guitar

If You're Feeling Sinister
Belle & Sebastian
I knew from the first song this was gonna be an album I’d fall in love with
I usually don’t call myself an indie fan but there’s this specific kind of indie I’m obsessed with. Neutral Milk Hotel, The Antlers, etc.
these bands that have these beautiful, instrumentally diverse, melodic, but lyrically melancholic pieces that I could listen to for hours
if you’re gonna listen to this album, I strongly recommend you read along the lyrics, it really adds to the beauty and atmosphere
this is one of those albums too good to rate, a 10/10 just doesn’t feel good enough
but yes, I really love this specific kind of sound that reminds me of In the Aeroplane Over the Sea or In the Attic of the Universe (both those albums are also too amazing to rate)
just, I can’t even put into words how amazing of an experience it was for me to listen to this

6/10 for production
minus 2 for the laziest lyrics i’ve ever heard, you have to be a walking red flag (and a legitimate bad person) to have THAT many exes you need to shit on in every song
minus another 2 for every song sounding the same, oh wow THIS song has trumpets! and THIS song has acoustic guitar, how creative!
and minus another 2 for pure pettiness, I’ve had to listen to each and every one of these songs ad nauseam when this POS album was new
hearing this album put my body into a fight-or-flight response, I still get fucking PTSD flashbacks to that Norm of the North trailer

Physical Graffiti
Led Zeppelin
holy shit man
why did they have to give me an album so late it their career?
I’d feel like an asshole if I just jumped in that late, so I listened to their five prior albums all in one day
and each and every one of those six albums were beyond incredible, greater than a 10/10, they were all too good to give a simple rating to
and it felt like they kept getting better after each one? but then like listening to the older stuff again felt just as amazing as the late stuff
I couldn’t tell you what my favorite album of the six were, hell I can’t even say what my favorite song from this album was
like Led Zeppelin I & II we’re both pretty incredible hard rock albums, and they both had some really fun blues songs for some spice
and then I think they really stepped up in LZ-III with all these amazing experimental sounds that I couldn’t get enough of
and then they moved it in a very beautiful direction with LZ-IV, it’s still definitely hard rock, but a lot more acoustic, gentle, spiritual and celtic
a very nice laid back album
and then you got Houses of the Holy which is beyond words honestly, like every album is my favorite but I think this one has just the right kind of songs to cater to my specific tastes just a hair above the others
with its beautiful usage of electronic and reggae, it’s something I can’t put into words
and then I listened to Physical Graffiti and like, man, this one was too fucking amazing too, I can’t fucking tell if I like this one the most or not
like I just got so lost in wonder listening to each and every one of these six spectacular albums I really can’t pick a favorite here, they’re all tied for being my favorite Led Zeppelin album
I’m a little tired after listening to six albums in a row but I’m glad I did, that was such an amazing experience
now I gotta listen to Presence, In Through the Out Door, Coda, and their Live albums, plus anything else I might have missed
holy shit seriously listen to all their stuff, it’s too fucking good

Fragile
Yes
okay don’t get me wrong, I LOOVE prog rock, and this album certainly had some bangers, but most of the songs just kinda sounded like throwaway stuff, like you listen to Cans and Brahms or Five Per Cent for Nothing and you just gotta wonder what the point of those songs are? like obviously every song doesn’t need to be amazing but I think there were a disappointingly high number of throwaway songs
and I’m not saying I hate those kind of songs, I love The Beatles, Revolution 9 and King Crimson, Moonchild, but the point is that on an album full of hard hitting songs, you only have one or two of these weird throwaway songs to reset the mood for what’s next
anyway, I really loved Roundabout (Obviously, who doesn’t?) and Heart of the Sunrise
America and South Side of the Sky were also pretty cool
overall it is a great album, I just had the one critique, 8/10 for me

I can’t wait to listen to Highway 61 Revisited, I’ve heard that’s one of his best albums
anyway, this is absolutely a 10/10 album, but I think it’s more enjoyable if you listen to his first four albums first, hearing his sound build and grow as he tries out new stuff before you hear this beautiful rock and roll project

I listened to their first album before this one and it blew me away, 10/10 post rock
I think the first song I noticed that I found really phenomenal was Sea Song, the three songs before that were amazing but it was that fourth song that really made me love the album, and everything after that was incredible too
but then I listened to the second album, and I think I liked it even more, it had so many cool songs, that is easily worth a 10/10 for me
but then I noticed they did something really special, THEY DID A COVER OF A FUCKING KING CRIMSON SONG
Moonchild is one of my favorite songs in general, the fact they made a bluesy, post-rock cover of one of my favorite prog rock songs is so fucking cool
idk I’ve always had a soft spot for any media that uses King Crimson, especially in movies like Mandy, Children of Men, and Buffalo ‘66 (although there are MANY other reasons I love that last one)

I feel like I don’t have the energy to talk about just how much of an eye-roll this album is
the way she sings is not unique in any way, ukulele hoes have been singing like that for millennias, seriously dude just go on youtube, search ‘[random twenty one pilots song] ukulele cover’ and you’ll find hundreds of bitches who think they can sing, pronouncing stuff the dumbest way you can imagine
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/828397306256031804/944045530722492456/IMG_1357.jpg
and the lyrics, holy shit those lyrics, everything she said was either some kinda dumbass Escher sentence or the most wild take that made me say ‘what the fuck am I actually hearing’
probably the best example was probably
“Forrest Gump had a lot going for him, never without a pussy”
like I don’t even wanna think about what the fuck she was thinking when she wrote that, holy fucking shit
the production was alright half the time, nothing too special but not necessarily bad
like I kinda digged the retro vibe on Prom but then she had to ruin it with “fErin not gwOwin uUuUponan” it’s not cool, nothing about that makes me think, wow she knows how’s to sing, it’s just such a fucking waste of time, how the hell do people like this?
the features weren’t any good either, Travis Scott speaks for himself of course but even Kendrick had to make his voice so goddam annoying, like it sounded more annoying than Chance on Acid Rap somehow, and at least that was a good mixtape
like come on, why even rap that verse if you’re gonna half ass it that much, it sounds like he recorded it on his phone or something
jesus christ I could spend many more paragraphs talking about just how much I hate this shitshow, how I’d rather brush my teeth with super glue and wipe my ass with greasy, hot-off-the-grill pancakes than listen to this joyless, try-hard bullshit, but this album has me too exhausted to spend another another second hating it
how the hell this album made it on this list is beyond me, but I think it gave Taylor Swifts 1984 a run for its money on the shit talk I want to give it
like with they it gave me the rage, the infuriating energy to want to write about every ear screeching second, but like, at least she had the talent to write those songs
SZA couldn’t even produce this, like it’s just so lame and depressing, why write about how dumb this is?
holy fuck, rant over, I’m done, I need to go listen to some Swans or ABBA or something, fuck this album

Le Tigre
Le Tigre
this is definitely a perfect punk album for me, it just hits everything flawlessly
the production is amazing with all the electronic drums and weird samples
Kathleen’s singing and vocals are fucking perfect in every song
the writing is also really cool and can get pretty meta
and with so many weird, amazing songs like the hilariously literal What’s Yr Take on Cassavetes or the groovy, spoken-word-sample Slideshow at Free University
it’s got perfect songs for if you just wanna fuck shit up, like Deceptacon or The the Empty
and it’s got perfect songs for if you just wanna vibe out, like Les and Ray or Eau D’bedroom Dancing
I don’t have a single issue with this perfect, perfect, punk, new wave, feminist masterpiece - this is an 11 out of 10
I gotta check out Kathleen Hanna’s other stuff

also, as an aphex twin fan, I got kinda excited hearing the drums kick in on long story short, but then she had to once again ruin it with her dumbass vocals
like shit dude, some of these songs actually had pretty decent instrumentals, like dorothea was alright, not great but alright
she just has to ruin any tiny, minuscule amount of good with the most basic-bitch vocals and mind-numbing lyrics, it’s a pain in the ass for me to listen to music like this
also jesus christ, did she write no body, no crime? did she think she was writing something cool there?

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
Beatles
You can’t put into words how incredible this album is.
The album cover is one of the most iconic album covers in music history, plus people have gone crazy trying to find all the hidden symbolism
This is my favorite SPLHCB cover post, in which someone explains the complex geometry used:
https://www.reddit.com/r/conspiracy/comments/jwwy3u/the_craziest_and_most_insane_beatles_conspiracy/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb3x
Technologically, this album was seemingly impossible for its time
They were using production techniques that hadn’t even been invented yet
oh and culturally, of course
this album forever shaped music, inspiring some of my favorite bands like Pink Floyd and King Crimson
again, words don’t do justice explaining just how amazing and impactful this album is on both a personal and cultural level, I can’t just give it a rating on a 5 star system, it’s far beyond that
and I don’t even think this is my favorite Beatles album, personally, I’m a sucker for the white album
and I would be infuriated if that wasn’t on here

Vulgar Display Of Power
Pantera
this album really… confused me
because I really hate this kind of metal music, but when I tried to think of what made me hate it, I felt hypocritical since there are other genres I love that have those same qualities
I love hard rock (eg. Helter Skelter and Led Zeppelin)
I love punk/post-punk (I love Le Tigre and I still need to get around to hearing Kathleen Hanna’s other stuff, Sonic Youth is amazing too, I also enjoy GRLwood’s songs but I hate that the singer is an awful person)
I love Industrial (Nine Inch Nails, Trent Reznor all the way, bro)
and I even enjoy some Grunge here and there (mostly Kurt Cobain’s discography which I don’t listen to often since it’s not really for me but when I do hear it I at least appreciate the hell out of it)
And this is kinda why Swans is probably my favorite band, they have amazing diversity from album to album
they started out as an Industrial Rock band that would shatter your eardrums every chance they could take, then they moved into post-punk and (in my opinion) made the weirdest post-punk for the time, like you got Joy Division that was making the more dark depressing stuff or Talking Heads who loved messing around and breaking the rules and getting kinda weird, but when you listen to Swans’ Children of God, it’s just so far distant and weird from any of the other stuff I’ve heard, it’s amazing to me
anyway, after that they made post-rock
and without spending forever talking about why I love it, their entire discography is just consistently amazing to me and I recommend you check them out if you’re a fan of Industrial, post-punk or post-rock, there’s probably a few albums they have that you’d enjoy
(other super weird bands (that are difficult to label genre-wise) that I enjoy are Xiu Xiu and Kengo Iuchi, but that’s super weird stuff that you’re probably gonna have a hard time enjoying unless you’ve already been down the rabbit hole with other wild stuff)
sorry, back to the album
ughhhhh… I just hate it and I don’t know why
I was even trying to give them the benefit of the doubt and hear their first album before this one and all it did was give me 2 albums to loath today
it just sounds so douchey, I fucking hate every song
my running theory is that it’s about the fanbase, the awful fucking fanbase
like when I listen to this shit all I think of is some fat fuck who’s got his hair grown down to his ass crack, paired with a red bandana and a crusty, cum-stained t-shirt of whatever lame-ass band they need everyone to know they love
they think they’re so tough and cool but they’re one big mac away from a heart attack
like idk, this just sounds like neckbeard music for neckbeards who think they’re all hard and shit
the lyrics sound like they were written by a fourteen year old who watched V for Vendetta (or Fight Club) and got “radicalized”
there’s very little to enjoy about an album like this when it comes to a biased little shit like me, I’m gonna give it a 2/10 but even that feels too generous
I mean fuck dude, I hated this so much I spent half the review talking about bands that I actually enjoy

10/10, I’m so glad David Bowie left on such a great album
I mean it’s David Bowie, it can’t be that bad anyway but this album has such amazing songs I think it’s such a great album to leave the world with
all the songs are amazing one way or another but I think my favorite is Girl Loves Me because of just how fucking weird it is
The beat is great and those vocals are just beyond wild, it sounds so cool
Bowie’s such a cool genius who left the world with some of the coolest music ever made

The Bends
Radiohead
I really do enjoy their first two albums, it really goes to show that even just starting out, they were really damn good
but of course their best material is literally everything after
from No Surprises and Exit Music for a Film, to the flawless perfection that is the whole Kid A album, to the rest of their neat electronic albums
I don’t think they ever had a low point in their career
despite being diverse as fuck, it’s all consistently enjoyable
I think that’s why I like Swans, King Crimson, etc.
Radiohead is right there with them as one of my favorite bands

god dammit why does Coldplay need to keep surprising me, fuck, this is actually good
just like a rush of blood, I didn’t think I would like this but I am actually very happy and surprised - this is a 9/10 for me
I still stick by my belief that every other coldplay album is lame, my mind was changed on their first two so I listened to their third, X&Y, it was just so boring
like maybe i’m crazy but the difference between A Rush of Blood and X&Y is like night and day (except reverse)
they started out so good and in that third album, they just sound like a hollow remake of themselves, the songs all sound the same, the drop/hook is always predictable and boring, I swear there’s just something missing from it
who knows, maybe if I come across another coldplay album on this site, I will be proved wrong but right now I still think only their first two are good

as well as the bonus tracks like Stop! And Make Your Mind Up just had such a fun, fresh sound
honestly a lot of these songs I thought had the same quality and charm as Take on Me and I'm surprised that so many of these songs are so overwhelming buried by the song that made them a one-hit-wonder

Life Thru A Lens
Robbie Williams
BRUH, mid as fuck
the only thing impressive about this album is that his career didn’t end after this
like shit, this dude’s got no talent, he didn’t play any instruments, he didn’t write any songs, all he can do is sing with his mediocre voice, that’s all he has to show off
like yeah, Oasis has similar vocal quality, but they’re a whole-ass band that can write actually good songs
the quality is so mediocre on this and the only thing he can do is sing, it’s just embarrassing listening to this
and the fact that the working title for this album was “The Show-Off Must Go On” makes this clusterfuck even more laughable
I’m giving this a 2/10, and that feels generous

Stevie Wonder
sorry my last review of Stevie Wonder (Fulfillingness’ First Finale) was pretty cringey
I was fucking tired and while I really do love that album, I didn’t know how to put that love into words so what I said didn’t really make sense
anyway, when I got this album, I listened to it a good 4-5 times in a row
it’s criminally short but at least the songs have so much layer to them that upon each re-listen, I found myself noticing more and more genius subtleties behind the production
anyway, I don’t know what else to say
the Stevie Wonder trilogy (from this album to Songs in the Key of Life) is fucking incredible :)

6/10 - painfully mid
I feel like Iron Maiden has a lot of the same pompous, show-off charisma that Jethro Tull has
but whereas Jethro Tull is an incredibly talented prog-rock band that actually has something to show with the way they act, Iron Maiden doesn’t
they act all loud and engaging and yet have nothing to show for it
I don’t know, maybe I’m being too judgy,
I enjoyed their first album, but this one is a bit of an eye-roll for me

I really enjoyed that
I don’t know if it was just me tho but that mixing sucked
I listened to it on Apple Music and I could barely hear the songs, so weird
but yeah, the songs themselves were pretty cool, and I LOVED the weird time signatures they used
I couldn’t pick up all of them, but I’m pretty sure I Hair is 6/4? and Water is a 10/8?
I probably got those wrong but I still appreciate the songs nonetheless
favorite track was probably Plants and Rags, that whole Velvet-Underground-if-they-were-90’s type shit was just 🤌
yeah, definitely a 10/10, I just wished they made like a 2022 Remaster or something to fix how it sounds

OH MY GOD
yesterday I decided to start listening to Fiona Apple because why not?
I heard her album Extraordinary Machine which buh-lew my fucking mind
after I heard it, I was telling my friend about how much I loved it and he said I should listen to her new album Fetch The Bolt Cutters
this morning, I generated my new album and somehow I got this
I probably have another 700 albums left on this thing and the fact I got this out of any possible album is just fucking crazy
anyway, I really can’t put into words how amazing both of the albums I’ve heard from her are
they’re just so amazing in literally every field of musicianship
