Every one of these songs are about 2 minutes too long. Record was fine but I don’t see myself playing this one again.

If you want the most generic, background music during Gilmore Girls album then this is for you. I really can’t for the life of me figure out why this album is on this list. It sounds like every other run of the mill 90s alt-rock album. It doesn’t even have that one or two fun songs to make playing the album worth it. There’s a lot of albums that I’ve listened to during this that I’m not super into but I understand why they’re on this list. I have no answers for this one. This is bad. Do yourself a favor and listen to any of the other 10,000 90s bands that sound like this. Or better yet, maybe skip that realm altogether.

I have little patience for 75 minutes of just pointless jamming but this has All Along the Watchtower so it gets two stars.

All instrumental prog rock. Just the worst part of the Pink Floyd records. Pass.

Thought this would be an easy 4-5 stars but there's honestly a lot of weak tracks on this. Still enjoyed it overall though. Been a long time since I've listened to this.

Will definitely be a record I revisit.

Not a fan but wasn’t bad. Honestly felt like a strictly worse version of their contemporaries.

Are these lyrics written by Owl City?

Meh

This album was about 20 minutes too long.

Very surprised by this one. Clearly “ahead of its time.” Can definitely see the roots of punk here. Would give this another listen.

Has some moments that drone on a little too much but overall a cool record. Will definitely be in my rotation for “music to listen to when reading,” which I think is worth something.

CO is one of the best 2010s R&B records. I don’t come back to this one as often as I do Nostalgia Ultra or Blonde but it still has some solid tracks. This rating definitely gets a boost for how much I used to listen to this record.

This was fine. The middle three songs were decent. I have no desire to listen to the real prog-y sections

Every one of these songs are about 2 minutes too long. Record was fine but I don’t see myself playing this one again.

Liked this more than I thought I would.

Rio and Hungry Like The Wolf are both good. Everything else sort of ran together. This was fine.

Not a fan of Christmas music and I would never pick any of these renditions if I was choosing to play Christmas songs. The Phil Spector “thank you” at the end is the worst producer tag of all time. Don’t see myself hitting “play” on this again

I’ve tried a handful of times to get into Elliot Smith and I just can’t. This is the first time I’ve actually made it through a whole album. It was fine. I might give his stuff another shot but there’s a bunch of other singer/songwriter types I’d rather listen to.

Bought this album sometime in middle school or high school. Couldn't get into it then and can't get into it now. Has some neat songs but just not for me.

This was fine. Vocals are horrific though.

This album has no business being 75 minutes long. The guy yelling "Tommy can you hear me" on Christmas sounds like Charlie from It's Always Sunny. Really takes me out of it. Pete Townsend wrote this when he was like 23? What 23 year old sits down to write a rock opera??

Listened to this album a while back and was really into it. Gave it another chance today and enjoyed it. Didn’t blow me away or anything but definitely something I’ll revisit.

Enjoyed this one. Sounds pretty dead on what I expected when I saw it was from the guy who did songs for Toy Story. That being said, it is VERY jarring to hear the Toy Story guy drop numerous hard R N-words. I understand it's a satirical thing and he's "playing a character," but yikes. From what I can gather people don't seem to have a ton of issues with it, Randy isn't cancelled (at the time of writing at least), so I don't feel the need to bash him for it. Music was good. Maybe don't listen to "Rednecks" with the windows down.

All instrumental prog rock. Just the worst part of the Pink Floyd records. Pass.

Pretty decent. Liked it enough but don’t see myself reaching for this album every often.

Some good songs (Baba O'Rily is a heater), but honestly everything felt very samey. Liked this better than Tommy but not enough to give it another listen.

Not awful but there really wasn’t anything on this for me. Not sure I’d press play on any of these songs again. Barely escaped a 1 star rating.

Some fun tracks, nothing to write home about. S/o to Vampire Weekend for making a whole career out of ripping off this record.

Could see myself throwing this album on from time to time. Runs a little too long for my liking though.

Thought this would be an easy 4-5 stars but there's honestly a lot of weak tracks on this. Still enjoyed it overall though. Been a long time since I've listened to this.

Not really my thing

This album is tight

Has a handful of good songs most of this drones on and all sounds the same.

Solid album, can see myself checking this one out again. A lot more "modern" sounding than I expected.

This was cool, would listen again.

First half is really good. Starts to sound very samey and pretty bad during the middle/end.

Pretty good, I’d check out songs from this again. No reason this needs to be a double album or 75 minutes though

What’s the draw for this album? Generic alt-rock. Doesn’t even have Bittersweet Symphony on it. Skip this.

Not really my thing. Probably blasphemous to say but Mercury’s vocals are obnoxious. Way too over the top. I get that’s his deal but it’s not for me. The guitars on this are cool though.

Pretty generic 90s alt rock. Close to a 1 star but had some alright moments.

Very samey. These songs don’t need to be as long as they are

Imagine listening to an Eagles album and it doesn’t even have Hotel California

This album was a lot of fun. Some of the lyrics are pretty awful but I can get past that. Will definitely check this out again.

Pretty cool but I can only listen to so much of this

This stinks

Enjoyed this one. Nothing crazy but I could see myself throwing this on from time to time.

I have little patience for 75 minutes of just pointless jamming but this has All Along the Watchtower so it gets two stars.

Some fun songs but don't see myself revisiting much from this.

Nothing here for me. Have no desire to listen to any of this again.

Some solid songs, liked this more than I thought I would. Will definitely check out more of this

Pretty solid

The record is just good. I like Talking Book more overall but I think the highs on this album are better.

This album stinks

This album is fun. It drones on a little bit in spots but the hits are all great. Sittin' Here is an all time great album opener.

Just awful. The Gift just sounds like he’s reading a book and no one can convince me that the 17-minute closer is actually good.

Can't remember a thing about this album. It played and then it was over. Must not have been too good or too awful.

Decent background music album. Can respect that they are the root of a lot of the artists I like but don’t see myself coming back to this.

Fine background noise. Probably won’t revisit.

Not awful but really not for me

Never gave this a real listen when it came out. Enjoyed it. Can see myself picking this up every now and then.

Liked this a lot. Will definitely throw this on again

Hair metal has not aged well at all. Pour Some Sugar On Me is a heater though

Pretty all over the place with this album. First couple songs I thought were awful but it grew on me a little bit as it went on.

Remember getting this the day it came out. So many good songs but still drags a little bit. Hadn't listened to it in quite a while though. 3 stars based on how much I used to like it.

This record is a heater all the way through.

The most generic indie pop I’ve ever heard. Who in their right mind puts this on the list?

This record’s a lot of fun. Has some weaker tracks but much more even overall than Ill Communication

Enjoyed this quite a bit

This is probably a 2.5, but we’ll bump it to 3. Likes this more than I expected.

Really enjoyed this. Not as fun as Good Old Boys but a little more consistent. Might be a Randy Newman stan. There’s also a clear line you can draw from this sound to Bruce Springsteen

Thought I would like this more but really wasn’t feeling it. Feels like a half step away from those mid-2000s cock rock bands.

Enjoyed this

Fun record. Was only familiar with them because they're mentioned in the first line of every Bjork review. A lot more poppy than I expected. Will check this out again I'm sure.

Not my thing but didn’t hate it

Never got into this band and this didn’t do it for me either. So boring

Has some pretty cool songs. Could see myself throwing this in again

Didn’t hate it but pretty boring. No reason this had to be 72 minutes, get it together Bob.

Some cool tracks but pretty unimpressed overall

Enjoyed this quite a bit. Sin in My Heart is so good

Fun record

Enjoyed this a lot more than Blonde on Blonde

This album slaps. Forget sometimes how much bands like Animal Collective rip from this sound (and sound terrible doing it)

Great album from the star of Are We There Yet?

This was alright. Don’t remember hearing any crowd noise. Strange for a live record

A few good songs but this is mostly pretty bland

A fine album. The singles are all fun songs. Just not really my thing for the most part.

A lot of solid songs on this. Don't think I'd actually listened through this one all the way before. Used to be really into The White Stripes.

Album came and went. Don't remember much about it.

I expected this to be better. Bored out of my mind. Every song feels exactly the same, except for Flawless, which I actually enjoyed. Just bland overall. Lemonade is leaps and bounds better than this. Easy 1 star

Not my favorite R.E.M. album but I like it

This band really doesn't do it for me. Can't for the life of me figure it out.

I remember nothing from listening to this. It was a blur. Nothing notable, nothing too terrible (I guess?). Don't see myself picking this up again. There are a zillion better droney/fuzzy indie rock records out there.

Didn't hate it but also never listening to it again.

Guitar parts are cool, but not really my thing overall. Vocals are bad.

Can definitely draw the line from this to a lot of the early-2000s alt-rock bands which is cool. Very samey sounding though.

Too long and too samey.

Enjoyed this more than I expected to. Close to a 3 but I still don’t see myself picking this up again.

Pretty boring but not the worst thing ever
