Throbbing Gristle
5/5
this album is everything that punk pretends to be.

Pink Floyd
5/5
You have two choices. Either:
- recognize that this is one of the greatest albums of all time
- be a contrarian twatwaffle
So what if Roger Waters decided to be Putin's cabana boy in later life? So what if he released a bullshit de-Gilmourized crummy watered-down (heh) remake?
Dark Side of the Moon, as released in 1973, is a flawless, timeless album.
If I only get to pick one record to bring to your deserted island... to be honest, I'm picking Bitches Brew but this would be a close 2nd choice.

5/5
This is one of the most versatile albums of all time. You want a great record to listen to with your full attention, eyes closed with $3000 headphones on? Kind of Blue! You want a record playing in the background while you work door at a dinner party? Kind of Blue! Coffee bar? Kind of Blue! End of the evening on a date and you're sitting on the couch and you want the perfect soundtrack while make your big move? That's right, Kind of Blue!

This album is testament to the genius of Sir George Martin. You know how when folks in the UK want to honor someone the knight them and call them "sir"? In the USA we should honor them by adding the middle name F-ing. This guy right here would be Sir George F-ing Martin.

I've never understood why people refer to The Who as a psychedelic rock band, (I've more thought of them as kind of bland 70s rock) but Sell Out is a psychedelic masterpiece. This fits in alongside Piper at the Gates of Dawn and Sgt Pepper.

Sony/Epic were smart to sign RaTM, it was the perfect act of controlled opposition. Frat boys and other privileged heirs of the machine enthusiastically embrace RaTM because they know the lyrics won't actually bring about change. In context, this album can only be considered a patronizing capitalist insult to those who are getting ground up by "the machine".
That said, this shit rocks.

The title cut is the Pachelbel's Canon of classic rock. Some people love it, some people hate it, but it's got this freaking endless cyclical progression that never ends, ultimately causing the listener madness as it repeats infinitely in the background of the brain. You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave, indeed.
There is some really good songwriting and performance on this record, there's a good reason it is somewhat legendary, above and beyond the aforementioned madness thing.

I'm shocked at how good this album is, it covers a lot of territory and is a satisfying journey. I had no idea; the only song I'd heard before was "Relax" which, by the way, mashes up really well with Rammstein's "Du Hast".
If you're the kind of person who likes every song on the album to be similar then skip this, you won't like it. Also, you're lame. Go back to the safe playlist bubbles of Spotify or whatever.

The thing people don't realize about this record is just how revolutionary it was at the time it came out. For all of the knockoffs and wannabes in the later 80s, this album was a significant nexus between pop and hard rock.
The history of the production of this album is also fascinating, with Templeman and Roth working in a WB studio, while Eddie the Van et al were working in EVH's home studio, which he built b/c he was so pissed about how many covers they forced him to do on Diver Down.
Also, if you listen to that quiet little melodic line at the end of Jump (c-b-c-a c-b-c-g c-b-c-c), you'll hear what would eventually become Top of the World.

My grampa listened to this record a ton right after my dad was born in 1989. My dad listened to this a lot right after I was born in 2002. I'm about to have my first kid in about 6 months; you better believe I'm going to be rocking out to this shit the first few days after he's born.
Thanks gramps, this is a killer record. And in our family, it's the daddiest of dadrock albums.

Not the feel-good album of the year, but a great album anyway. For those of you old enough to remember, this album came out in 2002, about a year after the Saudis orchestrated 9/11 and we were all still pretty shell-shocked from that shit. So this big-ass bummer of an album was kind of exactly the thing we needed.
Also, the bass line on Paper Tiger is pure perfection.

tbh I can't rate this higher b/c I know some of the musicians and industry people that have worked with her professionally and, well, they say she's "difficult". It's not a bad record, but I can't listen to it for the same reason I have a hard time listening to Buddy Rich records.

This is a solid record; good songwriting and solid performances. Not life-changing per se but I can't help but wonder if the hate is from Gen X'ers who, upon listening to this album in 2004, realized that they were in their 30s now and that their youth was behind them. So the bile might be more of an association thing as opposed to a problem with the album itself.

You have two choices. Either:
- recognize that this is one of the greatest albums of all time
- be a contrarian twatwaffle
So what if Roger Waters decided to be Putin's cabana boy in later life? So what if he released a bullshit de-Gilmourized crummy watered-down (heh) remake?
Dark Side of the Moon, as released in 1973, is a flawless, timeless album.
If I only get to pick one record to bring to your deserted island... to be honest, I'm picking Bitches Brew but this would be a close 2nd choice.

I've never bought into the "Cobain was the voice of a generation" crap. This surprisingly intimate, honest live album is so much more than just KC, especially viewed in context of the greater music industry.
Much of the major label music released after 1993 is extremely overproduced and polished; even stuff that was supposed to be raw and edgy is now sterile and safe. Those of us old enough remember that MTV itself went to shit starting in the mid-90s, moving away from music to TV and "reality" shows. So it's not unreasonable to regard this album (and the live event it captured) as a funeral for rock.

very good record - I had a hard time with the vocals. Bryan Ferry's voice is kind of a slightly less aggressive Jello Biafra. If that super quick heavy vibrato is your thing then you'll absolutely love this record.
Still tho - there's an awful lot to enjoy here. The Bogus Man was what bumped this up to 4 stars in my book; it's a cool track.

This is a solid, solid pop record. Great songwriting & production.
Out of curiosity, I went and listened to the "Taylor's Version" re-recording of this and it's even better.
This is one of a few 1k1 albums that has completely surprised me in a positive way; I never would have thought to give this album the time of day but am very glad I did.

I can't believe this needs to be said, but "this isn't on Spotify" isn't remotely a legitimate criticism of an album. Spotify is a cancer on music (even more so than the rest of the industry) and is for soccer moms and other "I like to have something on in the background" casuals. If you have such limited resources that your only place to listen to music is Spotify and YouTube ("o noes, there are ads, whatever will I do!??"), that's your problem. In fact, reviews that mention Spotify should be discarded outright. If that includes this review, then fine.
OK now that we've gotten that out of the way, this is not a bad album. I'd never heard of it before; while it didn't really grab me, the songwriting is solid and it does anticipate, by a few years, one of the dominating radio sounds of the early 90s.

This is a very good record. Makes me want to break shit, which is what a good thrash record should do.
Though Dave Mustaine frequently chooses to act like an complete asshole, we must separate the art from the artist. And to be fair -- if I dropped a banger of an album like this and everyone said "meh" because Master of Puppets had just dropped a few months before, I'd have a pretty big chip on my shoulder too. Sorry you got mogged by your former band, Dave.

Is Tang the same as fresh orange juice? no. There's no need to compare them, they're two completely different experiences. One is natural juice, the other is a manufactured artificially-flavored sweet treat. Sometimes I want to drink a nice glass of fresh orange juice, other times Tang is just the thang.
If I want fresh orange juice, I'll pop in Sharon Jones, Roberta Flack, Aretha.
If I want Tang, I'll pop in Beyoncé, Rihanna or maybe Janelle Monáe.
People whining about how this record is "made by committee / artificial / manufactured" are just bitching about how Tang isn't orange juice. Nobody said it was.

I never heard of this until it popped up yesterday.
I love this record, and can't even begin to explain why I do.
