You know the album just isn't good when the best song on it is a mediocre cover of a song that I like but not love. If I'm ever comatose, play this album because surely I'll wake up to turn it the hell off.
It's Christmas music. Literally not even on Christmas day do I WANT to hear Christmas music. It's not even *interesting* Christmas music. Just covers of the exact songs you hate hearing blaring over retail and fast food overhead speakers. I'd give this a 0 if I could. I'd give it a -30 of possible, and even that seems charitable. Call it the spirit of the holidays that even one song on this album got listened to.
Did I enjoy this album? No. Do I think it's good? Also no, but I'm not a huge metalhead so I lack a framework to judge it super well. 5/5 rating though. Purely because this is definitely *someone's* jam and this is absolutely nowhere near the 3rd worst album out of all 1001, y'all are just mean, and if I can correct the numbers a little bit by fudging a rating a little then that's what I'll do.
This album absolutely owns.
Most classic rock albums I get end up being like "the songs you already knew are as good as you remember but there's a reason the rest you've never heard of." This album is actually just good all the way through.
Really good album overall. The 20 minutes of instrumental at the end wears on you a little but each of the instrumental tracks is individually good and the songs at the start of the album are all solid gold.
I can't even begin to quantify how much of a soft spot I have for this album. It came out when I was a kid, and was the first rock music I got REALLY into at the time, having listened to contemporary country up until then. Easy 5/5, but I'm biased as hell to the point where I'm not gonna bother trying to explain why I feel that way. I did actively relisten to the album for this, but I seriously considered just skipping it because I have literally every song on it already in my usual playlist. If you want a nuanced opinion ask literally anyone else.
Man, "Livin' On a Prayer," "You Give Love a Bad Name," AND "Wanted Dead or Alive" are all off the same album? Wow. This must be an absolute smash for the album cuts too! That's what I thought when I looked at the track listing. The rest of the album is good but forgettable. Turns out, the tracks you remember off this album are well known for a reason, but the other tracks are forgotten for a reason. They're just okay. 4/5 because I can't ignore that three all-time classics are all on this album, but the rest of it really let me down despite being perfectly good.
I had never heard of this previously, but damn this is cool. Easy 5, no question.
This album absolutely owns.
So, this album was good. But just good. Not really what you'd expect in hindsight from a band as important as the Beatles. Certainly enjoyed it thought.
I respect the classic songs on this album (that aren't Sweet Child of Mine because that song was never good), but the rest of the album around it just isn't very good.
It's Christmas music. Literally not even on Christmas day do I WANT to hear Christmas music. It's not even *interesting* Christmas music. Just covers of the exact songs you hate hearing blaring over retail and fast food overhead speakers. I'd give this a 0 if I could. I'd give it a -30 of possible, and even that seems charitable. Call it the spirit of the holidays that even one song on this album got listened to.
Would have been a 3 if it had wasted 45 minutes of my time instead of an hour and 45.
My years working at Walgreens really poisoned the well for the first couple of songs here, which then completely tanked my ability to enjoy this. Maybe it's actually good. Who knows? Certainly not me.
So today I had Oracular Spectacular, the album with "Electric Feel" and "Kids" on it. And lemme tell you, "the album with 'Electric Feel' and 'Kids' on it" is a REALLY appropriate description. That said, those two songs are so damn good and the rest of the album is certainly fine, so this is the best album I've listened to on here in a couple weeks at least. Having just checked my history, the last thing I listened to that was really better than this was Van Halen 1.
You know, I'm about a year into this, listening to albums every day even on weekends. I've listened to a LOT of stuff through this. I was beginning to worry I was becoming jaded as more and more of my scores gravitate towards 3 and I add less and less songs from these albums to my playlist for future listening. This album came along and blew right through that hard outer shell I'd been forming like an atom bomb. I hate this album. It's terrible. Just dogs***. Abysmal. Not one second was enjoyable. It came on, immediately filled me with frothing hatred, and only whipped that hatred to further and further frenzied heights as it continued. Thank you, Throbbing Gristle, for giving me a fresh answer for when my friends ask what the worst album I've listened to through this project is. And I hope your inadequacy will help me to be a kinder listener to future albums because hey, at least they're not you.
Did I enjoy this album? No. Do I think it's good? Also no, but I'm not a huge metalhead so I lack a framework to judge it super well. 5/5 rating though. Purely because this is definitely *someone's* jam and this is absolutely nowhere near the 3rd worst album out of all 1001, y'all are just mean, and if I can correct the numbers a little bit by fudging a rating a little then that's what I'll do.
I have never felt more lied to by a song title than this album's "Vein Melter."
Okay, what about Bob Dylan's music made him famous? Everyone I've ever heard praise him agrees that it's his really good songwriting, and that his singing is actually pretty bad. I broadly agree with this sentiment. So why the hell do I need to hear a live concert recording of it? If the thing you want out of Dylan is sharp wit and you just kinda tolerate his voice, why is it essential to hear versions of these songs that are exactly the same except the audio is rougher and there's some crowd noise between numbers. I like Dylan's music. This is a slog.
The Kinks' "Sunny Afternoon" is just "Sittin' On The Dock Of The Bay" as written by a person no one should be able to have sympathy for.
Can I give this a 6?
I'm hard pressed to think of a line that aged worse than saying "I blow up spots like the World Trade Center" 7 years before 9/11

This album STARTED by calling Reagan a fascist outright and saying the world is fucked and needs to change all will be one of the catchiest songs I've ever heard. This couldn't have possibly NOT gotten a 5 from me. Damn this is the kind of stuff I use this site to find.
If I had, in fact, died of boredom while listening, I would've been grateful. I can only assume that's where they get their name.
I understand now why the only song I've ever heard off this album already was Pinball Wizard and I'd like the time I spent listening to this back please.
Would've been 5/5, but I'm sorry Bennie and the Jets is a terrible, awful song and I resent being made to listen to it.
Mariah Carey is a genuinely gifted singer. Unfortunately the songs she has chosen to sing are very boring.
Average rating is 0.25 points above global average.
Album origins are grouped into three buckets: US, UK, and everything else. “Other” means the artists you rate highest are from outside the US and UK.
