Popular Reviews

Great album! Minus 4 for the tax evasion

Did I ever watch the movie? No? But I could be living it with this album. Hauntingly beautiful

If there's one thing the list showed me it's that I'm not a queenfan except for the hits.

This was a long and boring album. All of these songs could be trimmed of their fat. Last song is 16 minutes without ever changing anything.

I love Beastie Boys. This isn't my favourite but very decent

All Ratings

Solid old school rock 'n roll. Bit formulaïc at times, but holds up.

Very grateful and mesmerizing although it doesnt grip me all the time

Known for the titeltrack, but there's a lot more to this album. It's generally, with one exception, a sad album, but heartfelt and beautiful.

A more streamlined album than their debut, this grips me more.

Strangely sexy...

Pleasant listen!

Essential folkrock album. Aged galantly.

Not much of a soul man, though it has a few standout tracks

This album contains a classic hit that most people heard one time too many. Even with that crux the rest of the album is amazing. Space trucking, highway star, lazy, ... all deserve as much adoration as smoke on the water. Almost 50 years old and still timeless

Ballsy move, naming your album that. Glad it worked out.

A tantalizing record

Though not a soul and r&b guy, i thoroughly enjoyed this album. Great class!

Bitchin'

Great album! Minus 4 for the tax evasion

Like most Nu Metal albums around that time, this one feels way too long with some fillers. You either hate or love Durst' lyrics, for me it's a bit too cringey. The real star here is Wes Borland and his guitarwork imo.

This makes me want to experience heartbreak. Brb, divorcing my wife

Unfortunately, this does nothing for me. Not the fault of the artist ofcourse. It's mine, for being a silly goose.

My third generated Yes album. Probably the one I liked most. Can't quite put my finger on why though.

Granted it's experimental. But too much of her voice makes me go crazy

Makes me want to put on flip flops and smoke a pipe in my vegetable garden

Short, sharp and rocking!

Early warm hiphop. Very much appreciated

Nobody does pop better than Abba. Easily 5 stars.

This is not a bad slipknot album, quite honestly, I quite like it. But its inclusion in this list baffles me. It's where their chaotic original sound made way for a mainstream approach. And less of a trailblazer. Best part about this album is the drumming. My god, does it stand out.

I think i got a fondness for this early country-ish stuff. Buck Owens, Marty Robbins, this. Nice that the website makes you discover things about youself you didn't even know

69 songs on 1 album? Must be grindcore. It isn't? Pas.

This what started extreme metal. Thrash and black metal (and by expansion death metal) would not exist without the sloppy but heavy sound of Cronos, Mantas and Abaddon. It is very much a product of it's time, since nowadays it could be considered cheesy and messy. Back in it's day however this was the epitome of evil.

This came at the wrong time for me. Perhaps when my mood was ripe for something more chaotic this score would be a bit higher

Not this guy again...

Lacking substance imo bland

Hurt was the first Johnny Cash song I ever heard. I'm probably not alone in that. Other songs I discovered later we're his country songs and this made me utterly confused. After some research I could scratch an itch with his American recordings. With the aforementioned Hurt, Personal Jesus and the titeltrack ( cleverly used in Dawn Of The Dead) it has an all star tracklist allready. Other personal favourites are We'll meet again, Tear Stained Letter and in my life. A sublime last effort from the man in black

Excellent experimental take on hiphop

Did I ever watch the movie? No? But I could be living it with this album. Hauntingly beautiful

Being born in 1990 it's hard for me to estimate the popularity of an album at it's release. Is garbage underrated or did I miss their glorydays? This selftitled album deserves to be spoken in the same breath as other alternative classics from bands like Smashing Pumpkins, REM and Jane's Addiction... or does it allready do?

I draw parallels between this album and David Bowie's Blackstar. Both released days before the demise of their creator and carrying gravitas and a rather sombre atmosphere.

Was expecting something else entirely. Not for me, too bad

Some stellar singles, but most of the tracks are a bit to laid back for my tastes

Never heard this band, but heard of this band. Honestly I was expecting early Motley Crue or early Twisted Sister leanings. This goes more for the first Aerosmith influences. Which is fine I guess. But I would like to have heard some more grit. Good, not great.

Come on, man. I had a rough night and I hate the fuckin' Eagles, man!

You wanted the best, you've got the best!

Now and again, I get excited about receiving an album with electronic music. Something totally new to me. Alas this is not really up my alley.

Found it rather boring. Sorry

Pleasant surprise!

Hardly registered this. Like a boring suicide (the band).

R'nB is really not my genre.

Lovely!

Not a big fan of Clapton. This one is on the better side for me.

Maybe with more listening sessions this could be a 4

Smells like hippie

One of the finest British punkbands, if not the best. This whole album is stellar

Not my favourite Beatles album on this list, but still an essential listen

Forget Ozzy Osbourne, Henry Rollins or Iggy Pop. This man is the real madman! The wildest!

Look, I'm incredibly biased when it comes to Motörhead. I own all 23 albums, got a big snaggletooth tattoo and celebrate Christmas eve as the birt of our true savior, Lemmy Kilmister. Even tho it's not my personal favourite, it's an easy 5 stars.

Definitely cool.

Even though I prefer his second album, this is still an amazing 5/5 album. Where later the Slim Shady persona would only ocassionally rear it's head, on this release it's very much in charge. Foulmouthed, antagonistic and crazy, sure, but also pushing the envelope and dragging an entire generation with him.

Call it a guilty pleasure. I'm not proud to give this 4 stars, lol.

Like this one better than the other on this list

Was pretty excited for this one, since I heard good things about Skepta. But this wasn't my thing. Repetitive and too many skits.

It's ok, I guess. I feel like albums like these are dime a dozen in this list.

Great surprise

Delightfully weird

Silky smooth

Was familiar with two songs. I could have sworn this band was a 70's 80's band. Good songs nice atmosphere. Did well in this house

I liked it better than his other entry but not by a lot.

Less 'crude' production than his debut. Really love this split personality with Eminem, Slim Shady and Marshall going on. Has an edge to it with songs like Kim that probably drew in a few Nu Metal/ alt kids

I love dear god, but otherwise a bit so so

Just the short sharp shock that I needed. This rules.

Not really my thing but the execution is tight.

As good as the first one imo

Out of my grasp for a 5 but this definitely hit a spot

Can't sit still with this one. Although a tad too long.

Tango for the 21st century. Dig it.

Emotional, and the lofi production makes it personal on a level. However it feels a bit samey at moments, and sometimes a bit whiney.

Liked the music to an extent, but the voice really annoyed me.

A bit too goody two shoes for my book. But can Karen sing or what?!

The only thing this has going against it, is that it's not funhouse. Some of this was a bit drawn out (looking at you, We Will Fall) and made up on the spot but otherwis, this is great and raw to a degree.

Hmmmm

Wanted to rate this higher, but there is a whole side that's filler. Al in fun, these guys never thought about their legacy I guess.

Compression: the album. But they make it work for them,. This has not aged with grace, but it's fun , dumb and catchy.

Kind of a mixed bag. By making this an unnecesarry double album, it gets a point less. It could do without the covers. The title track and the singles are the highlights in my opinion.

An engaging storyteller. Despite its rudimentary nature this is a very compelling album

The flow of this is great, the music good and compelling, having a bit of trouble connecting with it personally however.

Nobody does it like Abba. This is darker and ads more hurt, stepping away from the eurovision style.

I feel every second of this album. Mesmerizing!

I recognise the beauty but for me this was pretty forgettable

This album irritates me. It's weird, I know, but the urge to skip this was immense.

It's on a song by song basis for me. Some I liked, others did nothing.

Country is not my jam, but this is decent

Her name is an onomatopoeia for how I feel about her music.

Reggae annoys me. This is tolerable

Razorlike tension. And a sound like that in 1980???!!!! Wow

Emotional vocals and diverse instrumentation. Like a rocking wailing goth. In *checks notes* 1986??!!

The thing that sets this apart from other rapalbums is that this is fun. A true classic!

MEH

Inspiring and otherworldly.

I gave Actually a 5, this wasn't a hit for me ( hello, controversial artist). This was perhaps a more grown sound. Doesn't mean I have to love it.

For fans of experiment, mash up or, hell, breakcorefans taking opium. This one hell of an album, flirting with everything from pop to classical and even Arabic music.

As a millenial my closest connection with Johnny Cash are the American recordings. Objectively looking however I feel this period of his life is where his best recordings are. The Man In Black persona begins to manifest. Nothing but respect.

R-e-s-p-e-c-t. This queen has earned it.

Saw this morning that my album was Can't buy a thrill. I brew a pot coffee, lounged in the couch, put the record on and got to 7th heaven. Damned, I'm not in my late fourties, why do I like this?

The relevance of this album escapes me, but considering they need modern albums in this list, I kinda get it. This feels like a jamband, but it's quite clear that's just an impression. The musicianship is good, but my personal bias to this kind of music is really fighting me on this. Words like patchoulli and soundtrack to campertrips for trustafarians ring through my head. If I was an asshole I would give this a 1. I'm going with a 3, I could still be an asshole though.

Afgerond naar boven maar voor mij is dit 2,7 max

I understand that she's a bit of a divisive artist, but I don't really know why. That aside, i think this is the epitome of 2010's pop, atleast the female led side. Does it work for me? The upbeat songs I definitely like, to a point. But the others fail to hit me. Lyrics are sometimes a bit cringy, but it's (ultra-)mainstream pop so it comes with the territory. I'm floating between a 3 and a 4 but it being a cultural behemoth, I'll grant it a 4.

I liked movies more

One of their best

Props to Bjork for making an album I like.

It's ok, but I will not revisit this

I can see everyone's uncle smoking weed to Tarkus and being annoying about this album 50 years later.

Aged like a cosby show reference. Not even timbaland saved this.

Soulful, but too samey for a 2nd listen

Weird but not overly bizarre

Best live album ever!

Almost a 4, one of the better post 2010 albums I already had

It caught me at a moment where it worked for me, could have been different.

Epitome of female punk!

Notforme. Bored me.

You can't really put a finger on this but it flows

Feels more like a musical

So this is where international superstar Kelly Rowland got her start

Disco has many stinkers, few diamonds. This is absolutely the latter

Fast and uncompromising. Love it!

Bit dated, not a big fan. Hard to say if there's a legacy to this, I'm the wrong person to judge.

Pleasant surprise. Allready knew dreamer ofcourse.

I thought this guy was a living meme, turns out he has good stuff. Nothing I'd go out of my way for however.

She'll go on to make alot of things I like including the other album on the list. But this just doesn't excite me, not in the slightest.

This explodes immediately! Banger after banger! Rip my eardrums!

Am I wrong? Is this album 42 songs long? It took me 3 days. Best 12 songs would have made a 4, but I'm not built for this.

Way too long. It's its own special thing, but I like the idea of it more than the execution.

Everybody has a favourite Stevie Wonder album, right? The only mistake this album has for me is that it's not Talking Book.

Good

Decent but will not revisit.

I would love to hear the jazzversion that Anita wanted. For now this will do.

Bit of a slog for me to get through. Liked other albums by them though.

Girl power all the way, but this? Nah

Meditative un a way, it ebs and flows. Great music if you're willing to take the trip

Pfff, melow in a bad way, and I hate that Seinfeldbass

Gave Neon Bible a 4, in hindsight should have been a 5. Not making that mistake again.

Makes me emotional, can't use that right now, but props when they are due

Special and compelling.

The bandname and album title made me think this was gonna be a punkalbum. Too bad. Can't complain about the title track. That's a gripping song. However the rest reminds me of elevator music and soundtracks to terrible 80's sitcoms

Quite like it. Especialy the instrumentation. Can't quite put it to words.

What a magnificent slab of weird

I enjoy the Rhythm and percussion of this. Culturaly miles away from me however.

Not entirely even but god nonetheless

A bit too up it's own ass for my taste.

I had other albums by Mrs. Franklin. But this to me is the epitome!

This was a trip. Unexpected!

Her voice always hit me. I'm grieving right now and although lyrically it's not the same, it makes me very emotional.

Not a marley fan, but probably the one I enjoy most.

Seems like the generator is throwing me alot of psychedelic rock records and 'weirder' things. This one is very good. Or am I getting an ear for it 😁

Started well, but got me bored pretty quick

Title says it all.

I know this one has a legendary reputation but it's not by a mile my favourite Bowie

It's been a while since this generator gave me a 'real' (as in universally recognised) classic. Quite enjoyed it. Micky Mouse sound alike Axl may be. And people criticise Knocked Loose...

Esoteric music to take a walk to, enjoyable enough, but a must hear? Not to me

Not something I'll revisit, but fun record

Great surprise! I like my hiphop/rap more raw but this is one exception although lyrically he holds no punches. Also makes me overlook a pet peeve of mine: using a classic oldie as a hook for a song. Am going to spin this more!

Has some of their classics, rest of the album is great too

She was a once in a lifetime artist. At times bleak, painfully honest and so warm. Pity, addiction does keep us from wonderfull things

Bonafide classic

Almost a 5. I adored the virgin suicides, this lost me a bit by the end. But what a band!

This irks me. Comes of as pretentious

This is a tense sound, doesn't necessarily pay of all the time though.

Surprising for an EDM album to grab me, but this is good, clean fun. It's not rocket science and it doesn't claim to be. Pretty varied approach too. Far from the normal stuff I listen to.

What a slog to get through. Vocals are very dull, and musically nothing to look out for. *Comic book guy voice* worst renaissance fair ever!

I thought it was mighty average.

Kind of middle of the road for me, suis desolé

This was happy, cheerful. Good for them

High expectations, did not deliver. Except for some singles and an ocasional track, this album is mainly ballads and midtempo. Gets tedious pretty quick.

Not my favourite album of his. But it's stll Stevie Wonder so it's great.

Emotional, gripping.

I reckon this is a (sub) genre classic, and as such I'm having trouble to rate it. Lord knows I have a niche I can talk someone's ear off about. But about this dance album? Influential? Probably. Good in it's genre? Probably? Foundation for a legendary group? Sure. The thing is, if I had any stake in the genre I could tell you it's worth. The album after this ( the fat of the land) claims more territory and is more worth it imo.

Highly enjoyable, but not necessarily something I would revisit

Knew walstreet shuffle. Rest is good too.

An eccentric take on pop. Good times

Musically good, but damn the man is an american tool. Must be a psy op.

Two of these arent tearjerkers. This was boring

Johnny has 2 legendary albums? Good for him.

Wholesome. And yes there is power in a union.

Khaled uses alot of influences but yet his voice is an anchorpoint to this. Although his vocal approach isn't standard to regular western music I vibed with this. The length however is something else, I had to cut it in three

Dark and brooding, yet soothing

I rarely give a 1. Searching for something to up that score, I usually land on musical ability or lyricism. For the Hangman's beautiful daughter I can't do that. Honestly, I thought some players held their instruments for the first time on this recording. As for lyricism, I can't see the poetry in this. Feels like it's for a 70's-80's children's program. No surprise but I had flashbacks to Pentangle's Basket Of Light which also received a negative score from me.

Didn't expect to know so many songs allready. This album is great, however at the end it loses somebof it's momentum.

This could have been a 4 minute song

I just listened to 3 guys masturbating for 38 minutes

To me, live through this packed more of a punch, which i liked more. Nevertheless still a great album.

This is probably one of the most influental albums out there. Voice of the youth in those days. And there is nothing more important than that.

Just yesterday I've got Black Flag's Damaged and called it one of the most important albums on this list. Then today the list throws me this one ("you sure about that?"). 3 minutes of fun with 4 chords and easy lyrics. You can't even count how many kids picked up an instrument because of this. It's pop from a punk perspective.

A bit dated in sound but not in message

The most important album ever! Their best? No. But every album in my collection is a descendant of this one. The world would look different without this!

Pretty good and eerie sounding

Lovely surprise. Didn't expect to know something from this band but was familiar with atleast 3 songs

This is perfection. Kick some butt, Yoshimi!

Good electrowhatever

I love Beastie Boys. This isn't my favourite but very decent

Chillout but one of the 1001's? Why?

Positive retro dance from the early nineties? Bitchin'!

It's fine, I guess. Doesn't grip me.

Loved the other album but this one... kinda boring

Esoteric

I know the singles, love em but the rest is kinda hit and miss at times

A smorgasbord of punk and punkadjacent music, which feels very modern for a 70's record.

The XX brings the ideal version of pop for the modern age. Heartfelt, passionate and musically inovative.

Atleast it's not boring. You guys suck off the most bland 70's band but put this in the ground. A 5, out of spite.

I've got an up and down relationship with SOAD. It interests me and puts me of sometimes too, but it's highly entertaining. Put Serj Tankian in any other band and it would grate me to no end but the fourpiece musically just clicks well together.

Not gonna lie, won't revisit. But interesting

Not as good or legendary as the debut but grezt nonetheles

I have a habit of giving 5's to every album that I already own. Not very subjective I know, but in the early days of me being on this generator it helped with the 'pressure' of rating an album everyday. Plus you're familiar with the album so it kinda makes sense. In all honesty, I want to give yhis a four. I'm familiar with it. But it doesn't reach the levels of Cowboys from Hell. They found the sound they wanted and never gave any other stylistic change a chance. Phill's voice was getting rougher and gone were the more high vocals he sporadically did. They had their groove and dumbguy hardcor vibe and while I have nothing against that, there could have been more to this band. If you're looking for great groove metal you could easily go for Cowboys From Hell or Machine Head's Burn My Eyes or Chaos AD by Sepultura or anything by Rob Zombie. They stick the landing more imo. Still giving this a 5, cause a man who doesn't stick to his guns ain't worth a damn.

Perfection, almost tops in the wee small hours.

M.I.A. sounds so bored when she sings. The strength on this is boyse and paper planes but for the rest it's a bit grating

If there's one thing the list showed me it's that I'm not a queenfan except for the hits.

This one's different. Like indiepop meets wild experimentation. I can only applaud cause this should be what every musician wants to make. My own subjectiveness says that the popside doesn't speak to me a whole lot but other than that, superb.

Despite all the drama around this band, they did produce an album which shines with good songwriting. Definitely it had that british no-good (chav) misfit vibe.

His methods may be unorthodox, but dammit, the doctor get's the job done!

Emperor of weird and he does it the best.

Manu Chao is king!... of the bongo.

Great for them, but I can see similiar band every other weekend. This to say I don't really get their inclusion? If they paved a giant way for others, I'll ofcourse take it back but for now... good not great.

Armed with a flow to make other rappers cringe, lyrics that are an embarrassment to the first sentence ever put to paper and a persona tottaly pulled out of his ass, kid rock managed to put together an album that's equally overproduced as underproduced, and manages to stand out as the absolute garbage in an era plagued with cringy Nu Metalbands, overtly clean Pop starlets and tryhard fake gangsta rappers.

Sonic Youth, it never gels with me. This is loose sand wrapped in a hipsters mitten.

Forgot my tophat ans monicle. Couldn't get into it then

The difference witth oither noiderockbands? They're not fun and Butthole Surfers are.

Great album. Wu Tang has it's own style and it definitely shines on this one.

You're running the risk of being labelled an asshole if you don't like this preachy album. Guess I'm an asshole. The Gospel, funk and poprock mix is not to my liking. He has a good heart and blabla but yeah a 2.

I usually grant a 3 if it's decent but not to my liking, cleverly played but not my genre or a window into a certain time. Well, this is a time that I grew up in, but since I wasn't an impressionable girl and to young to be feeling pubescent longings over her videoclips, I was merely an outsider looking in. Thus this sugary teehee pop kinda gives me the proverbial ick. That being said nobody can deny she was surounded by competent songwriters and that she could cary a tune! Some songs shine cause they are incredibly catchy (...baby one more time; crazy; sometimes; Born to make you happy) other by being outdated(E-mail my heart; Soda pop). Weirdly I kinda enjoyed this. But don't tell 10 year old me..

Definition of cocky. It works for them.

WARNING!!! Spontaneously grew an afro.

An overwhelmingly emotional album.

Great 80's pop. 'Nuff said.

I wanted to knock this entirely but it's quite good in songwriting. A bit whiney still

Soul in the modern age. Not my bag but manages to sway me at moments.

I listened to the cd/casette version because the other version is hella long. I'm not a connaiseur of drum 'n bass but I think this less frenetic sound is the origin of the genre(?). I kinda liked it but even the shorter version of this album is an hour which makes it a long sitdown for something not exactly in your comfortzone

If you need to give this a second listen to rate this, you don't get it at all.

In true troubadour style, alot has aged in a cheesy way. Still enjoyed it though

I support this band being in the list, but this album... I think The Colour And The Shape; There Is Nothing Left To Lose or One By One lay more claim to these titles imo. Not to say this is a bad album but it doesn't capture the spirit of what was to come.

A sunny sundaymorning with a cup of coffee , this album and a good book...

This is great in a certain setting. Wouldn't use it in a gym. But for meditation, relaxing baths or lovemaking, this is ideal. Unfortunately the wife prefers brutal death metal as a companion to our carnal work out so I had to settle for a relaxing bath. Still more than satisfied!

Ice Cube was a force to be reckoned with indeed.

This was a long and boring album. All of these songs could be trimmed of their fat. Last song is 16 minutes without ever changing anything.

A fun ride, felt current enough, even though I'm not well versed in the genre. Knew 3 or 4 songs allready. That could mean I heard them in a commercial or they were played on the radio. Considering France is a neighbour could be we had some fallout. Don't overanalyze this one and just have fun.

Enjoyed the hits, but the rest don't stick that much.

Don't see the use of this. Nothing felt particulary original. Expected a littlf more bounce considering the cover gives a bit of that vibe.

Didn't really hit me in the way I thought it would.

Banger!

Wasn't super enamored by this. A bit cheesy and dated. Well performed though.

I've been looking forward to this one. Short sharp shock! Amazing youthful energy!

Colour me surprised that this is as much Reggae as early punk. I don't like Reggae...

That boom bap holds a place in my heart. Method isn't my favourite Wu Tang Rapper, it's often like he still has some food in his mouth. But looking at todays rap, it's not that bad.

Nice surprise! Warm vocals

My 4th R.E.M. album and probably my favourite. Upbeat at times, melancolic at others but with Stipe in his most Stipe-iest

The other one was more my favourite, this however is also good.

Unfortunately the two worlds that are colliding on this, I haven't got an interest in. Didn't enjoy this really.

I didn't mind this at first but it's alot of the same as time moves on.

Phenomenal first half. Comes and goes in the second.

Experimental post punk. For the kids...

I like his voice and the music is really excellent but it's too uninteresting to me to hold my focus for an hour .

Nice mix of punk and new wave

At age 12 I was a huge fan of Nirvana. Circa 2007 I got wind of Alice In Chains. If I knew them 5 years before that they would have probably been my obsession instead of their counterparts. This has a nice heavy feel to it overall, even the slower songs. The one grunge band that leaned very close to metal, considering they opened the 1991 Clash of the titans tour with Anthrax, Slayer and Megadeth. I own a best off of AIC and I think only one song of Dirt isn't on that. Banger!

Pretty mid for Bruce

Works well in a certain conditions. Just at home didn't do it for me. Riding my bike in the sun with this in my ears helped me appreciate it more.

This is good in a '80s cheesy pop way.

One of the best live albums ever! Pure Rock 'n Roll!

While disco ain't my bag, this ain't too shabby

Nice relaxing ambient jazzy stuff

Probably a big album for my millenial peers, but this was quite a boring listen for me.

Fun little album

Not much to say about this

I usually sigh when all these americans critisize all the english band, when there's too much american crap on this list. This however is an english release that has no urgency, and has very little right to be on the list. I don't see any influence on future bands or releases. It's just decent rock.

I understand the timing of receiving this album. He was a fine musician but how is this one of the must listens of the year 2004? Must be something I'm missing. Album is fine but that's about it.

This album made me fall in love with Bossa Nova. Marvelous and beautiful.

I liked it, but it suffers a bit by the length of the album

Probably the quintessential pop album.

Nice surprise.

Well, that was a fun party!

Good, but this is like the 3rd white stripes album I'm getting. Just pick one I guess.

Pretty boring in my opinion.

I'm biased on this. This was one of the first albums I bought. Got me into metal even though now I realise the connection is flimsy. Chester has an amazing melodic and understandable scream, the raps are energetic. While it's a very overproduced album, the nostalgia makes me forget. This is not an objective review...

Great mood

I like his music alot. Bit of a stuck up prick for the rest

I had a few pixies albums on this list, I believe and none of them quite resonated with me. This one is the best out of them. Or am I confusing them with Sonic Youth again?

More bluesy than protometal, this one.

Had a hard time piecing this together on youtube. I still couldn't gind a track. Perfectvfor sunny weather this one

Difference between the Christina on this album and the one on Stripped is probably 400 dollars extra.

A few fillers on this one but otherwise great fun and Fieldy's bass doesn't bother me as much on this album.

Did nothing for me , bit I appreciate she has her own thing.

3rd Kings Of Leon album. Not very different from the rest...

So it supposed to represent a day as a herder, and it clearly catches that. This is more background music for me but pleasant enough

I'm all for non western music in this list. I had call ofvthe valley just yesterday and the day after I get sounds of India which walks a same rope, and my dumb ass had to listen back to back cus I didn't make time yesterday. This was a bit much truth be told but ultimately a pleasure to listen to.

That portuguese language, that dometimes husky voice, ... I'm in love...

This was corny. Did not really like it.

Except for the famous single, i thought this was a nothingburger of an album

The energy on this is through the roof. I don't see anything comparing to this.

For Can, it's an easy listening album. I miss the weirdness though

Okay do it's not Rumours. Other than that great.

Very varied, not just 'clubby' just a tad too long. Did love it.

Slay, Queen!

No notes

I hate when the media called something rock'n roll, but for this it was right on the money. 100% energy, variation on point, great songwriting. This gets me pumping.

Nothing better than getting your album, being able to get it out of the closet andputting the needle to the record. As I own this, I'm more than familiar with it. Which makes me unable to be objective. I could say that it's way too long,Ross Robinson overproduces, it's quite a departure from previous albums and Max Cavalera isn't exactly Yeats or Neruda. But I've lost my heart to Roots a while ago, and that will probably never change. Both Sepultura and Soulfly tried to carry on with this formula but ended up with better albums ditching those inspirations.

Absolute banger!

2 talking heads albums in 3 days, and they are decent but honestly not the band for me

I get why this has a generally low score. You prefer the 'medical' grindcore of CARCASS or the horror influence that REPULSION had... but just because NAPALM DEATH is political you don't have to write them off. This album is the epitome of youth or atleast what it should be. Relentless, non conformist, concerned and angry about the world's problems, loud and abrassive. Very much as punk as they are metal. Nothing gave me as much joy as having a reason to pluck this one out of my collection and trying to keep up with the lyrics.

Gooed meandering background music, has an occasional uptake in tempo and atmosphere

Very jammy, did enjoy but probably not for everyone

Not the most popular Nick Cave record but probably my favourite. It pulls you in with openingtrack Papa won't leave you Henry and we're of to the races. N.C. shines in a sort of descriptor of events. Great!

You know what? I hate Reggae. It's pretty irrational but it gets on my nerves. Its way too slow and it grinds my gears.

This is Sepultura at their best. Thrash, a little industrial at times, political and with a kickass production! Come to think about it, this is probably metal at it's best too.

Nice ethereal music. Not always in the mood for this but when I do...

This generator did not awaken a Neil Young fan inside me.

This brought out the romantic in me

You know what? I like this better than London Calling.

I don't quite get the hate for RHCP, although I got no love for them either. I guess i understand when people liked their youthfull, filled with spunk, attitude, how cheesy and grating it might be. But a 'mature' version of the Peppers feels sterile and dare I say boring.

As a non-enjoyer of Reggea this was quite good. Variation, good song writing. Not just drifting on the music.

Grimy, dirty and socially conscious, love it.

First wave punkrock. Lands good at this airport.

Fun!

Didn't grip me, nor quite entertained me

With a distinct sound, and yet such variety in songs, this really captured my heart.

Personally would have gone for Americana but this one is nice Esther way

Yeah, i liked this!

Classic, sure, but a lot less biting than I expected.

Decent, some standouts.

I'm very intrigued by this album. Never heard it mentioned. Never heard a song of it before. Yet this is smart, fun and energetic. I don't know if it's true but it feels like they we're enjoying recording this.

Rock and/or roll!

This should be annoying, dull even, right? Yet, it's more that it soothes and caresses something inside you. This works for a particular few, and I guess I'm among them.

I'v got a week of 4's which is very good. This one's making me lean more towards 5. Beautiful voice, great instrumentation and the songwriting is superb.

As much glam as they are punk. It's a fun twist that still hits hard, albeit with a silk glove.

Duality of the southern thing!

Very emotive with an unique vocal approach and overall sober in its instrumentation, yet daling at the same time.

Not for me. Bit boring.

Very beatles-esque. Not like other albums of theirs. I enjoyed it enough.

This record is so nineties it has a tamagotchi, does xtc, and asks you were the beef is.

Know the hits(although it could be that some of those are also Skin's solo work), but never followed this band's output. I really enjoy this album. Skin's voice is great, musically they can hits hard if they want, but they also have almost ballads. Very diverse and highly enjoyable.

I can't seem to get into this band. It's enjoyable but it slipstream through my fingers.

They definitely have a style all of their own, but to me it's quite samen, and dragging on.

A bit long but mostly enjoyable. Dancy housey hiphoplike samplemania over here.

I own this one, comes with three cd's. Doubt this is the standard version but I enjoy this 'till the last Drop. This only could have been recorder in the 70's. Bands played big!

My life is a lie. apparently the version of chan chan that I remember is a remix. Which explains why I thought this would have more pep in it's step. Not bad by any margin, but different than my expectations.

Thought this would be boring... it was not

Classic! First time hearing it, but it's status is well deserved.

I have no way to prove this, but I hear the joy of creating and playing music in this album. Could be the recording was tumultious and toxic, but I couldn't believe that. This one was a pleasant listening experience. Also, Rod Stewart has that cocky big d*ck swinging energy that few come close to.

Frankly, I don't remember the other album(s?) of Scott Walker that are on this list. This one is excellent however. Standouts to me are opener The Seventh Seal and The Old Man's Back.

Great combination of vocals and a grezt representation of the flower power era.

Let Tom Waits take you on this weird, emotional and beautiful adventure. You'll laugh, cry and gasp.

This one is relaxing and soothing. It Takes you on this trip.

Having heard a big chunk of this, I've grown quite tired of it. But since I use to appreciate this, I figured i'll bump this a point higher .

I had high hopes for this classic but after the explosive first three songs this implodes a bit until the closing track. Shame.

I guess their exile, my gain.

Spanning. Was craving this.

Damn good!

Like what they did with this. Dont know anything about edm though.

No one makes me quite as horny as the Serge.

Loved this more than Brothers in Arms. Has more pep in it's step.

Comes in with a blast but gets a bit generic over time.

Some good songs on this, but after a while, it bores me.

Superb album! Love the twists and turns it takes

This flows like water. Jazzy, rocky, poppy. Yet this stays organic.

It's always Sex Pistols, The Clash, The Damned, but classics like this get overlooked. This album is laced with bangers. I did however tag the song 'Looking Through Gary Gilmore's Eyes' after, cause that is on my opinion their best song and it's not even on this album

Got psychedelics?

The true last classic this list is gonna give me. By that I mean one that's always in the conversation when talking about classic albums. And this hits nowhere for me. Too R 'n B/soul for me and too little what I loved about the Fugees.

Beautiful voice, but doesn't quite get me going otherwise.

Welp, guess this was the last one. It's dark, crazy and adventurous. Industrial meets symphonic meets avant garde. One thing it's not is cohesive. Which makes it feel like a random collection of songs instead of an album. Enjoyed it though.
