Boring beep boop music. I'm never going to think about listening to this album again. I wish the entire album sounded like the first two songs - they generally get more and more boring as time goes on. I don't know if that's just my ears going numb or actually the music's fault but I don't give enough crap to go and listen again to make sure.

This album sounds how I imagine a tofu + dragonfruit salad would taste. It's literally nothing. This is a toddler playing with FL Studio presets for an hour. I think listening to white noise is a more thrilling experience than this.

I feel bad giving this such a low score because there is nothing wrong with this, it's just simply not for me. Give this a listen if you like folky and mellow songs, but a 2/5 from me, somebody who finds this kind of music really boring.

This is music your Nintendo Wii plays while it's loading the Weather Channel.

This is one of my all time favorite albums. One of the very few I would consider to be perfect 10/10s. I can't say a single bad word about this. There are no dull moments, no bad songs. It's honestly kind of scary how absolutely amazing this entire album is, and it just gets better the more you read about it. The story behind this is incredible and I can't believe there hasn't been a huge Syd Barrett movie yet. Shine on.

Just really average. Nothing really stands out, but nothing is bad per se, except for "FX" which is basically a meme track (they said it themselves, apparently).

A lot of noise. I like chaotic and experimental music, but I was starting to get a bit annoyed after the third warbly noisy song in a row. The title track is genuinely amazing, so is the 17-minute long finale "Cop Shoot Cop". Not the biggest fan of the middle, but songs like "I Think I'm In Love" and "Broken Heart" nicely break up the tinnitus.

Really solid psychedelic rock. Not one song I would label as bad. The worst thing I can say about it is that it's a bit "generic music your dad plays" at times.

Side one of this album is amazing, genuinely a 10/10 - exactly my type of music. Side two does get a bit fillery and I'm not a fan of the final track. The entire album would probably be like a 8.5/10 at worst. Really great.

I hate Christmas music so much. No words can describe the hate I have for every single sound associated with Christmas - jingle bells, sleigh bells, glockenspiels, the choirs. I hate it all. Just like Phil Spector hates being a decent human being.

Not a Bowie fan in the slightest, but this slaps, not gonna lie. Better than Ziggy Stardust, the only other full album of his that I've heard. I would imagine that the more experimental instrumental break during tracks 7, 8 and 9 is a bit controversial, but I personally enjoyed it.

Whatever. Too blues-y and monotonous. Never was a huge fan of Morrison's voice. Riders of the Storm is the definitive highlight, that song's great.

It's Ace of Spades, the song everyone knows, but 18 times in a row and lasting an hour. Good thing that Ace of Spades is a good song, otherwise this would have been unbearable. Can't give this anything higher than 3 stars - these songs probably work better in a random heavy metal playlist than an album. I'm sure being at the concert was hype though.

The instrumentals are beautiful. I sort of wish that this album was fully instrumental, and that the lyrics were just some poems to be read at your own pace while listening or something. At the beginning I was like "Ugh, I don't want to listen to this slow boring music for an hour", but it really won me over.

This is the most generic 80s album I've ever heard. It's like they trained an AI to generate the most inoffensive, boring 80s synth music imaginable. It's the perfect 3/5. There is nothing wrong with this album, it's just nothing special.

Never heard of this band before. Really close to being a 5/5, but it does get a bit filler-y near the end. There's a lot of great songs here though, "Four Seasons in One Day" is my personal favorite.

It's a feat to be as consistently obnoxious as this album. Judging people by their music taste is a stupid thing to do, but I genuinely don't understand why this would ever be on a list of "albums you must hear before you die".

Love this album, always have. Not much else to say, I'm sure there's a 4-hour long documentary on Youtube that analyzes every single note of every song on this album.

I love the sound of Japanese people losing their shit over a band I've never heard of. Oh yeah and the music was pretty good too.

Funky and catchy. Absolutely not a genre for me, but this album somehow won me over - so a 4/5 from me is probably a strong 5/5 for somebody who's generally a fan of hip hop. Heart's my favorite track because it sounds like a Phineas and Ferb song.

This album sounds how I imagine a tofu + dragonfruit salad would taste. It's literally nothing. This is a toddler playing with FL Studio presets for an hour. I think listening to white noise is a more thrilling experience than this.

I feel bad giving this such a low score because there is nothing wrong with this, it's just simply not for me. Give this a listen if you like folky and mellow songs, but a 2/5 from me, somebody who finds this kind of music really boring.

More folk. I had basically the same thing yesterday. It all just blends together into a forgettable glob of acoustic guitar. Enjoyed it slightly more than yesterday's Joan Armatrading, but please give me an actual face-melter obliteration hyper mega-satan metal tomorrow. I don't even like metal but please, I need something more exciting.

I don't even hate rap but this just sucks, sorry. Horrible beats - seriously, what's up with the wacky boing instruments in every song? They're a kazoo away from being actual meme music. "Security of the First World" sounds like video game pause music. An hour of my life that I'll never get back.

Really good actually, despite being the 3rd folk rock album I've had in the past 4 days. I liked the weirder and darker-sounding tracks a lot. "On Battleship Hill" and the title track are certified bangers.

Final Fantasy final boss sounding ass. Only some songs work like this (No Leaf Clover, Ecstasy of Gold, Master of Puppets...), other ones sound like Metallica trying to play with a rampant orchestral goblin on the stage floor (Fuel sounds like a terrible Youtube remix). Disc 2 was generally better than disc 1, but at that point I was hoping it would just finally end since this is over 2 hours long.

Forgettable instrumentals, great voice. The first few songs are good but they grow more and more forgettable as they go on. Not something I'd return to, but I didn't hate it so let's just say that this is a really strong 2/5.

This is an actual enigma. It's so bland that I completely forgot every song, every word sung and every note played the second the album ended. I didn't gain or lose anything. Can't decide if this is a 1/5 or a 2/5 - probably like a 1.75, so I'll be generous and round it up.

Pleasantly surprised. Very nice and easy to listen to. Despite being generally chill and relaxing, it doesn't put me to sleep like some other soft pop albums on this list. Not something I expected from the ominous album art. Very strong 3/5.

I really don't like Bowie's voice, but I think his music is starting to grow on me more. There's some good songs here. The worst one for me is definitely the title track - that's a headache and a half. Nothing caught my attention though like "Heroes" did and I imagine this won't be the last Bowie album on here. Man's considered one of rock's greatest after all. Still trying to see why that is though. (Not bad, good even, but not even close to being on the same level as The Beatles or Pink Floyd from what I've heard).

"1001 Albums Generator doesn't give me a Folk Rock album for 3 days" challenge (IMPOSSIBLE) Nothing to be said. It's folk rock. Boring. Next.

Incredible rock opera. I always admire this album for still being extremely good even if you don't pay attention to the plot - the songs are all great when isolated, something I, a Pink Floyd fanboy, can't even say about The Wall (let's be honest, nobody is putting "Bring The Boys Back Home" in their playlists). Punk doesn't get better than this from what I've heard, easy 5/5.

Why is this actually really good? I seriously thought that I would hate this, but I was vibing. It's really fun, even if there's a language barrier. Speaking of languages, it's really impressive - guy sings in over 9 languages according to Wikipedia.

It's alright. His voice is enjoyable and some of the tracks like "Dance Little Sister" and "If All You Get To Heaven" are some undoubtedly funky tunes. Overall not very memorable though, seems like a fairly above-average 80s album, not something you "must hear before dying".

Not for me. The songs are just way too long and repetitive to be enjoyable. Nice that it's on the list though, it's important to have some world music, just not my kind of music.

All over the place. From certified bangers™, to weird 30-second gibberish that can hardly be classified as music. Really not sure about this one - I thought I would enjoy it more than I did.

Thought I would hate this but it won me over. Fun and unique, didn't overstay its welcome. "Cars" is the only thing here that I've heard before. Hell, I didn't even know that Gary Numan was a musician before today. I always associated his name with acting (I am aware of Gary Oldman, not mixing the two up). Also the red prism on the album art looks mad tasty for some reason.

Time for my hottest take yet. I've listened to this entire album like 4 times now and every time it's the same thing: I start really enjoying it but by the time the second disc starts I'm so insanely over it. The best songs (Back in the USSR, Glass Onion, While My Guitar Gently Weeps, Blackbird) are all around the beginning of the first disc and the rest just feels like bland filler. Come on, I know that nobody reading this has "Cry Baby Cry" in their "Favorites" playlist on Spotify. Revolution 9 is unironically one of my favorite disc 2 songs because at least it makes me feel something (existential dread), but still something. I like the Beatles but I genuinely believe that this is one of their worst records.

I don't own a combine harvester, so this album is not for me. There is no passion or originality here. Proof that being boring is often worse than being straight up bad. I had more fun listening to the Spotify ads in between.

I like QOTSA, but I don't fully get why this album was chosen for this list instead of "Songs for the Deaf". This album is just mostly them trying to find their footing. You can still hear the iconic "QOTSA sound", but it's not as refined as their later works. Still pretty good, but I'd rather be listening to Songs for the Deaf or Era Vulgaris.

What an insanely stupid idea. Is there seriously anyone out there who actively listens to this? I can't imagine willingly devoting an hour of your life listening to a soundtrack to a movie that does not exist. Waste of time, space and energy. The most baffling addition to this list so far. The only good song is "The Man With The Golden Arm" and it's just a bonus cover.

Not a fan of folk, not a fan of country.. there's two tracks here that I kind of enjoyed ("No Other" and "Lady of the North"). Other than that, mostly just boring background music.

Starts out really strong, gets boring and samey in the middle. An hour long, but the songs are all only around 2 minutes, so a lot of them feel like throwaways. Didn't pay attention to the lyrics at all, but I feel like I didn't miss out on anything. That being said, I didn't dislike this, probably like a 6/10 - I enjoyed the grungier songs.

It's good, I think.. not actually sure how much I enjoyed it, I just know I didn't dislike it. There's a lot of diversity here and some catchy tunes. Vocals were pretty meh, not really my taste, but good enough to be bearable. Also that album cover, huh? It sure is an album cover.

Obligatory "Hey, this sounds like Radiohead/Coldplay/Muse". Pretty good. Highlights for me include "N.Y.", "Caught by the River" and the kind of strange King Crimson cover(?) "M62 Song". More chill than I expected from the ominous album cover and title, both of which are awesome by the way. However, my favorite parts were when they slightly dipped their toes into a more grungy sound.

This is music your Nintendo Wii plays while it's loading the Weather Channel.

Wow, this is awesome! I was not expecting that from the cover. There's just so much energy, the screechy guitars, the crazy yelling vocals and lyrics. Favorite tracks are: "Pin", "Date With The Night", "Y Control". Very strong 4/5, maybe even a 5/5.. depends how I'm feeling tomorrow morning.

Really wasn't in the mood for this. Mostly just boring edgelord music that I couldn't connect with. Johnny Cash did "Hurt" better, but I think even Trent Reznor agrees with that. Still can't believe they named the Mario rhino that spits fire after that guy. Seriously, the rhino from Super Mario World that spins on a windmill and spits fire at you is officially called Reznor in the Mario canon. I get naming the turtle with Beethoven hair "Ludwig", but who in the Nintendo localization team looked at a fire rhino and said "This gives me Trent Reznor vibes".

Yeah the Beatles were pretty good, not gonna lie. Eleanor Rigby is probably my favorite song of theirs, but this album also has some other bangers like "Taxman", "Love You To", "Tomorrow Never Knows" and basically every other song (except Yellow Submarine). Gotta love that sitar. I'd be the first one to jump on the "Beatles are overrated" train (or submarine?), but that doesn't mean they weren't amazingly talented musicians. I have to give this a 5/5 or I'm being too strict with these ratings.

Not a fan. Sounds like pub music, but the lead singer was castrated before singing. "Keep It" has to be one of the most annoying songs I've ever heard and the fact that it's 4 minutes long is painful. My favorite track was probably either "Geno" or the instrumental "The Teams that Meet in Caffs", but I still wouldn't call them good, just above-average.

Enjoyed it a lot. Bunch of different sounds that make the songs stand out. There's some grunge, some psychedelic rock, some experimental. My favorite songs were the ones that went like "bwowowow". The instrumental on Dime Western is great. Not for everyone, but it's a yes from me.

What is this Old MacDonald Had a Farm sounding crap and why do I need to hear it before I die? Seems like some random rockabilly album you find for a dollar at a flea market. So insanely boring and average that I don't have anything to say about it. "Teenage Head" was my favorite track.. I think. Hard to choose a favorite shade of gray.

Basically nothing. This genre of music is just white noise to me. "Rainy Day" really sounds like a rainy day somehow, I'll give him that. Sounds like a song I would listen to while I'm having a headache. Nothing else caught my attention.

Absolutely loved it. The first album to melt my emotionless heart and give me goosebumps. I never really looked into R.E.M. despite really liking "Losing my Religion", but now I want to go and listen to their entire discography. Favorite songs: "Drive", "Try Not To Breathe", "Everybody Hurts", "Man on the Moon", "Find the River". I think the worst one would be the instrumental, but I can still appreciate it.

Well that was a religious experience. It's extremely weird, but I think that's part of the charm. I like the strange chanting in "Danse Kalinda Ba Doom" and "Croker Courtbullion". Very pleasantly surprised. The first song was confusing and I wasn't sure where the album was going, but I got it after the second song and thoroughly enjoyed the rest.

Boring beep boop music. I'm never going to think about listening to this album again. I wish the entire album sounded like the first two songs - they generally get more and more boring as time goes on. I don't know if that's just my ears going numb or actually the music's fault but I don't give enough crap to go and listen again to make sure.

I wasn't following the story too much, the only thing I got out of it was that "Girl died in a balloon, guy gets depressed", but I still enjoyed it a lot. It's very obviously inspired by the Beatles, but it's from 1968 so that's basically a given. Don't know if this is Spotify's fault, but some of the songs were a bit wonky quality with some fuzziness in the background. Favorite songs: S.F. Sorrow is Born, Balloon Burning, Baron Saturday, Loneliest Person

Some great songs like "Dancing with the Moonlit Knight" and "Firth of Fifth" (god damn, that guitar solo is so good). "The Battle Of Epping Forest" is whatever. I liked the synthesizer sounds but the lyrics are just kind of too wacky for me and it's too long for what it is. Nothing against long songs, Supper's Ready is one of my favorite songs of all time. Speaking of Supper's Ready, it's sad that there's no Foxtrot on this list.

The full album is not on Spotify, but I'm absolutely not a fan of this kind of music and I don't think the 6 missing tracks would have made a difference.

I don't like jazz, sorry bee from Bee Movie.

Man, this album makes me remember that we're all human. This guy is over here singing songs about "shooting a bad bitch down" while all the inmates cheer. He cracks some jokes, laughs, asks for water - Johnny Cash just seems like such a down to earth guy. I don't even like country but the book was right for once.. I think my ghost would have been a bit upset if I died without listening to this. Also, I never knew that this album is from 1968. I always thought it was from the late 50s or so.

Fucking garbage Mongolian throat singing sounding ass yelling broken French while the most repetitive and horrible instrumentals play in the background. Now I feel bad for all the albums that I already rated a 1/5, because this is miles worse than all of them. Probably the worst thing I've ever heard in my entire life, no exaggeration.

Jesus Christ, is this being procedurally generated as I'm listening? It just never ends. Every time I'm like "That was a pretty good song, wonder how much there's left" and I'm not even halfway there. This is just way too long for what it is - a generic hillbilly country album. Nothing wrong with the songs, some are good, some are pretty boring but as an album experience, this is a 2/5. Also what's up with the confederate flags on the cover.

This is one of my all time favorite albums. One of the very few I would consider to be perfect 10/10s. I can't say a single bad word about this. There are no dull moments, no bad songs. It's honestly kind of scary how absolutely amazing this entire album is, and it just gets better the more you read about it. The story behind this is incredible and I can't believe there hasn't been a huge Syd Barrett movie yet. Shine on.

Fairly good. Not something I'll ever revisit, but I thought it was enjoyable enough. Some of the songs are pretty samey, but at least they're not annoying. Wikipedia says this is punk, but I don't hear it (except for the last song) - it's actually pretty poppy. Reminded me of The Who and weirdly enough Weezer on certain occasions. Favorite songs: David Watts, Billy Hunt Pretty strong 3/5.

Crazy in a good way. Some great songs like "Ready or Not", "Fu-Gee-La" and "No Woman, No Cry" which I've heard more times on the radio than I've heard my father's voice. Would be a contender for the best hip hop album of all time, but it's a tad bit too long and dragged down by meaningless skits (what the hell is that Chinese restaurant skit?). Still a big fan, Lauryn Hill is unmatched.

Now this was a great album, wasn't expecting that from whatever the album cover is. I've never heard of Steely Dan, which is kind of strange to me from how big they seem. I think I'm a fan now. Some huge bangers - "Rikki Don't Lose that Number", "East St. Louis Toodle-Oo" (I love those wah-wahs), "With a Gun", "Charlie Freak". Doesn't overstay its welcome and ends on a good song streak - the last three songs slap back-to-back.

Kind of boring music until he hits you with that harmonica and gives you lifelong tinnitus. Jesus Christ, why is the harmonica so loud? I had to turn my volume down on "Girl From The North Country" when he started doing his best crying baby impression. This is a horror album. You're just trying to chill but there's jumpscares at every corner. You never know when he's going to start blowing into that rusty piece of metal, permanently destroying your hearing. Man I get the lyrics, being scared of WWIII and all, but the only thing scarier than the existential dread of living in the middle of the Cold War is the existential dread that Bob Dylan could start playing the harmonica AT ANY MOMENT. 1/5 - looking forward to the Bob Dylan kazoo album and the Bob Dylan cowbell album.

Background music with nothing special. Why is this list like 50% folk rock and 50% all other genres? Also that mountain looks nothing like an elephant.

Somehow manages to not be very exciting, despite them absolutely obliterating that poor poor guitar and yelling 30 words a second. There's not enough diversity. Most songs are just: SATAN SUMMONS BLOOD, DEATH COMES AND HELL WILL KILL US ALL *10 second guitar solo*. There were some moments when I didn't even catch that one song ended and another had begun. The best song is definitely "Raining Blood". It's so cool when that iconic riff kicks in.

None of the songs other than the famous singles ("White Rabbit" and "Somebody to Love") and also "Plastic Fantastic Lover" really stick the landing. Psychedelic rock > folk rock. There's really only like 3 psychedelic rock songs here and the rest is boring farm music.

Ugh, fuck off. I just had "The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan" three days ago and this is literally the same thing. Boring mumbly folk rock until the harmonica starts and your entire auditory system shuts down, leaving you with lifelong tinnitus. Thanks for the headache. Harmonicas are more annoying than kazoos. Bruce Springsteen at least has a bearable voice when compared to Bob Dylan, but that doesn't make this album anything higher than a 1/5 for me.

It's good, I enjoyed it. I found the first few tracks to be not that great (the first song was my least favorite one - not great for my prejudicial brain) but it generally got better as the album progressed. Great songs like "Hand in my Pocket", "Head Over Feet", "Wake Up" and of course "Ironic".

I didn't hate it, but why is this on the list? It's not even been a year since this album's released. This is just a regular folk album (my 5th folk album in the past 7 days, please stop giving me folk albums) that will inevitably be forgotten by the test of time. Nothing stood out, everything was very average, almost to the point where it seemed like they were trying to be average.

I've never listened to the really early Beatles apart from a few singles, so I was happy to learn that this album was very enjoyable. It's a bit cheesy, some of the lyrics are laughable when compared to their later work, but it's extremely catchy and easy to listen to (a gigantic contributing factor to their success). There's also a lot of covers on this album and they're all very nice. "Roll Over Beethoven" is probably my favorite track on the album despite not being much of a Chuck Berry fan.

Impossible not to imagine a video game loading screen while listening to this. Dude, they should put the "Minecraft: Volume Alpha Soundtrack" in the next edition of this book. Think about it. Video game music is still music and the Minecraft OST is better than like 80% of the music on this list anyways. Did you know that the Minecraft soundtrack takes some inspiration from Jean-Michel Jarre? Me neither, but apparently it does. Listen to the Minecraft soundtrack if you haven't yet, you won't regret it. It's genuinely beautiful. Oh yeah. This album. It's surprisingly really good. Maybe the songs go on for a bit too long. I recognize "Oxygène, Pt. 4" from Limmy's Show.

They really said "Looney Tunes sound effects" during the third song. Brave, I respect that. Okay, this is definitely music to scare the hoes. Play this at a party and they'll take you to a mental institute after two minutes. But this is exactly why I'm here doing this challenge. Never in a million years would I know that this album exists without the existence of this book and this site. I'm glad I listened to this, because this is a damn ritual. That final song takes you to Jupiter. Did I like it? Hard to say. Did I enjoy the experience? Yeah.

Incredibly boring except for like two songs (Allergies and Cars are Cars) which break up the monotonous snoozefest. I was in a complete zero distraction zone while listening to this and I still don't remember a single note from the entire album, except for that cool instrumental section at the end of Allergies. Somewhere between a 1 and a 2. Depends how I'm feeling tomorrow morning.

This was 27 minutes long? Because it felt like an eternity. I don't like this type of music and I don't like Dolly Parton's voice, so definitely not for me.

That was genuinely amazing. It's like Pink Floyd Daft Punk, which sounds like the stupidest thing ever, but actually works really well. I found that the weakest track for me was yet again the first one. Maybe my ears needed some warming up, I don't know. After that it's great song after great song. The biggest highlights for me were "Sexy Boy", "You Make it Easy", "New Star in the Sky". Turns out French electronic elevator music goes HARD. This and Oxygene, which I just had four days ago.

Pretty weird production. Can't really put my finger on it, but it sounds a bit off. Clearly EXTREMELY influenced by David Bowie. The lead singer is basically doing a Bowie impression. This seemed like something I would generally enjoy a lot, but nothing really caught my attention other than "We are the Pigs", "Heroine" and "The 2 Of Us". It wasn't bad though, actually pretty above average, like a 6.5/10.

A weird pick for ABBA. This is one of their less popular ones with none of the big hits. But of course it's still good. My own mother would disown me if I spoke ill of this band. "Head Over Heels" and "One Of Us" are the standout tracks for me. The lyrics are darker than your usual happy poppy ABBA - both of the couples making up the band broke up, they were getting tired of working together and it's the Cold War. It made sense as their swan song. Until 2021. Haven't heard that new album yet. Heard it's nothing special.

Enjoyable. I don't care for Neil Young or this type of music generally, but it was good enough to keep my attention. "Revolution Blues" was good, "On The Beach" was very chill. On the other hand, "For the Turnstiles" was genuinely awful. That's the only bad song though, the rest is just fine. Nothing I would willingly listen to, but I wouldn't turn it off if it started playing on Spotify shuffle. OH WAIT

I literally know nothing about The Stooges so I was expecting unremarkable dad rock. It's more punky and psychedelic. There's that 10 minute long full-on psychedelic track "We Will Fall". I'm a fan of that kind of music, but I felt like like it was missing something. All the other songs were fairly unremarkable and unmemorable. "1969" was my favorite one, I think. "I Wanna Be Your Dog" was pretty unexciting despite apparently being the big famous hit. A 2.5/5 probably. I'll round it up.

I'm pretty sure I heard this in a public sauna once. Actually feels really weird listening to this from the comfort of my home with pants on. I need to be relaxed, dripping with sweat, balls sticking to the wood. I don't know how to rate this. It's an entirely different art form from every other album I've ranked so far. This is not something that's supposed to be listen to. It was specifically designed to be background noise that loops endlessly and can't just be put in the same basket as The Beatles, David Bowie, Pink Floyd, or even Nickleback and Justin Bieber.

These songs don't need to be 5-6 minutes long. This album doesn't need to be an hour long. An hour of glam rock gets so repetitive that it becomes genuine torture and every flaw becomes more pronounced (The cheesy lyrics, weird song structures, overproduction..) Def Leppard, KISS, AC/DC, Mötley Crue, Bon Jovi... it's all the same, really. This is what people who exclusively listen to pop and hip-hop (nothing wrong with that) think all rock is like, because they heard it in their dad's car once. Glam rock is such an odd genre. Insert arm joke here.

I'm not a fan of acapella. I was really dreading listening to this 40-minute album in a language I don't speak and in a genre I don't care for. That being said, this is probably the best acapella album I've ever heard and I didn't hate it. Very chill, surprisingly doesn't get that repetitive and annoying. Made me feel something that isn't on the general list of emotions. Some bizzaro emotion like dorcelessness.

Guys really named their psychedelic rock band "Primal Scream". That's like naming a death metal band "Lollipop Wizards". Loved the songs that sounded like video game [MISSION LOADING] music (Get Duffy, If They Move Kill 'Em). I appreciate when an album doesn't sound the same all the way through. There's a lot of genres and sounds here - psychedelic rock, electronica, regular pop and something I can only describe as "Thom Yorke Goblin Music".

10/10 and not even the best Led Zeppelin album. How the hell do you even manage to fill an 80 minute album with all killer and no filler? "Kashmir" is a contender for my favorite song of all time, "In My Time of Dying" is not far behind, and I can't pick a single song that I dislike.

Sounds like Depeche Mode but boring. Didn't see anything special in this, just more 80s synth music. I think my ghost would have been pretty apathetic if I never heard this before I died.

Aw bloody crumpets, god save the queen. Some of the lyrics aren't really winners. Too much pervy stalky sex stuff. It was pretty good overall, but this must be the most uncomfortable album to play on your speakers around other people. When "Feeling Called Love" ended, I was like "Well that was pretty uncomfortable. Surely the next song won't be that creepy!" And then I saw the next song was titled "Underwear".

Why is the singer doing a G-Man from Half-Life impression. First half was very chill and inoffensive (almost boring at times). Second half was punk before punk was even a thing. Clearly very influential and ahead of its time. Not something I would willingly listen to though. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy I listened to this, but I think one time's enough.

This review is a Missy Elliott exclusive. I thought this would be a fairly unremarkable hip hop album thrown here just to balance out all the rock and folk, but damn okay. I like this a lot.

Honestly not that good as an album. There's some good songs here, but there's far more filler than big hits. "No More Mr. Nice Guy" is a banger, but then you have songs like "Raped and Freezin'" and "Sick Things" which I instantly forgot once the album ended. Alice Cooper goes for that creepy macabre schtick, so I was expecting this to be a lot heavier than it is. It's pretty mild actually. Almost glam rock, but not quite. I appreciated when they dipped one singular toe into a more proggy sound during "Unfinished Sweet".

Good, but Violator is just this album but better in every single way so I don't really see the need to have this on the list. I still enjoyed it though. "Strangelove" slaps so much god damn, that's a song that gets stuck in your head in the middle of the night while you're trying to fall sleep. I had "Architecture & Morality", a very similar album, just a few days ago. What's up with albums from this era having an album cover of a random .jpeg and some text on a plain background?

I only know like two songs by these guys. You know an album is going to be interesting when Wikipedia doesn't know what genre it is. "Alternative rock / art pop / hip-hop / lo-fi"? What the hell does that even mean? Okay, this is pretty good overall. "Clint Eastwood" is the one song I heard before and I think it's also the best one. There's some pretty unremarkable ones here as well, like "Man Research (Clapper)" and "New Genius (Brother)". Those songs aren't bad, just kind of boring. Pretty sure that's the lo-fi part.

It's okay. Not great or a must listen, but good enough to be enjoyable background music. It's a bit too long though and some songs don't have much substance. "Freedom Train" is lyrically on the same level as "Around the World" by Daft Punk. "I Build This Garden for Us" and "Mr. Cab Driver" were my favorites. I'm pretty sure I've heard the latter one before. Learning about the penis flop incident was also great.

Really really really average 60s rock. I didn't hear anything particularly memorable or genre-defining. The best song is 55 seconds long. Spotify doesn't even have the full album, had to scour Youtube for the rest.

Holy shit. 10/10 I know an album is good when my first impressions of it are "Wait.. this could be the best album I've ever heard in my life"

This whole list made me realize that there's too much folk rock in the world and that it all sounds exactly the same. I'm on album 95. This is my 12th folk rock album.. that's around 13% of everything so far and I literally don't remember any song, any word spoken, any note played from any of the boring "acoustic guitar + guy singing" combos I've had to endure (Except for PJ Harvey - Let England Shake, I quite liked that one). One good song ("The Way Young Lovers Do"). "Madame George" was also pretty enjoyable, but then it just kept going and going for 9 whole minutes. The rest is just more forgettable folk.

Of course this belongs on this list, there is no doubt about that. Sinatra was one of the most influential people in musical history after all. That being said, it hasn't aged the best. A full 50-minute album of songs about heartbreak? It starts to get pretty annoying after the third song of him singing about a girl leaving him. My brother in Christ, chill. I'm sure this would sound better at a cocktail party in the 50s. I don't think Frank anticipated people listening to this album through headphones, in front of their computer, working and drinking hot cocoa.

Is literally every single Bowie album on this list? The writers of this book must be huge fans. Why do I have to listen to THIS album when I should also listen to the vastly superior and vastly more influential Bowie albums like Ziggy Stardust and Hunky Dory? It's fine. The songs are listenable. Nothing particularly memorable or exciting. The best song was probably "Stay".

Zappa was the absolute man. Unironically one of the most talented musicians ever, but sadly underrated because.. uh.. I guess people don't want to listen to a guy singing about how he can take an hour on the tower of power as long as he gets a little golden shower. Those people are weak. This album is some proggy psychedelic jazz mix. "Peaches En Regalia" is a classic, "Son Of Mr. Green Genes" was probably my favorite of the three long songs on the album and "Little Umbrellas" is also really good. Not the biggest fan of "The Gumbo Variations", which goes completely into jazz hell territory. Overall a very solid album.

This is my second Pulp album in two weeks and what I've gathered is that they're the horniest band on Earth. These guys LOVE singing about sticking their penis into female orifices (too often nonconsensually as well). I'm too asexual for this, sorry. I think I liked this a bit more than Different Class and I gave that a 3/5, so same for this one. Favorite track was probably "Help The Aged". [Insert Bowie comparison here] [Insert "Suede is better" here] [Insert complaint about whispering here]

It's okay, I have a headache so I kind of needed slower and more mellow music today. Not particularly exciting or memorable. She's clearly talented but this kind of music isn't for me. Also this is my 100th rated album, nice.

For all intents and purposes, this entire album is just one 43 minutes long song. It works for some people, just like some people's favorite ice-cream flavor is vanilla. Somebody like me who likes to listen to Radiohead and Pink Floyd is not the target demographic. I like the occasional "Back in Black" or "Thunderstruck" in a rock playlist, but an entire album? Give me a nice scoop of lobster flavored ice cream. That's a real thing by the way.

Sick. I had a really good time with this - there was no song that I didn't enjoy. "In It For The Money", "Richard III", "Sun Hits the Sky" and "You Can See Me" were the best of the best for me. Very pleasantly surprised, it's always the albums with the most garbage covers that I seem to enjoy the most in the end. I mean, the cover's not bad, but it (together with the band name) made me think I was going to be listening to bluegrass. (I only listened to what Spotify considers to be "disc 1", since disc 2 is for the bonus tracks according to Wikipedia)

Sounds like The Doors and I'm not the biggest Doors fan. The first 5 songs are basically just filler. There is nothing memorable about them and they are absolutely eclipsed into the shadow realm by the title track "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida".

I liked the first song, but then I remembered that I viciously despise jazz. When they started doing the "doo do-do-do doo", it was all downhill from there. I have to say though, that album art and their logo in general is really cool. "Music of the Mind" was a pretty alright instrumental [PLEASE WAIT.. CONNECTING TO THE SERVER]-type track. Can't believe this is a white British guy. I'm going to throw up.

Elvis just kind of exists in a "of course he's good, but it's not my kind of music" place for me along with people like Frank Sinatra and Buddy Holly. That being said, this was pleasant and enjoyable. There were some weaker songs, but the highs were pretty high.

I wasn't feeling it as much as the first Missy Elliott album I had not too long ago. Just chill background music, lacking the energy and catchiness of "Under Construction".

"Thank you for calling, please wait while we connect your call" [this album starts playing] It's fine, chill, kind of boring at times. I don't have a problem with long songs, but Djed doesn't need to be 21 minutes long when all the cool things happen in the last 8 or so minutes (I really liked that glitchy part). "Dear Grandma and Grandpa" was my favorite song on the album because it reminds me of some ambiance you would hear in an indie horror game - really cool with the weird German(?) voices in the background (obscure reference, but it reminds me of the song "Numbers" from the OMORI soundtrack, which also contains ominous German voices).

One hit wonder. What's next? The Mambo No. 5 album? I like Take on Me, but starting off an album with your best song is usually a pretty bad idea. It goes downhill after that and the rest is unmemorable boring new wave - meaningless mumbly lyrics, repetitive synths and uninteresting melodies. The worst offender is "I Dream Myself Alive" where the singer repeats the title phrase like 50 times. I don't know, I wasn't counting. Or paying attention, really. Maybe I just dreamed that up.

I hate jazz so much.

I still prefer Metallica. Something about Mustaine's vocals just seems a bit off to me, but there is no denying that this is a fun record and that the guitar could disintegrate a young child off the mortal plane. The album art is really funny to me for some reason. Gently stroke the alien tube.

Bangers and the guy is really funny as well. I'm not a big fan of skits in albums, but "First Impression" made me exhale through my nose. Very long. "Body Count" is a straight up rock song, "The Tower" samples the Halloween theme song?! This album just goes everywhere at once.. in a good way. I always thought that ICE-T was garbage, probably because Vanilla Ice soiled every ice-based rapper for me by association. The best rap album I've had so far - 5/5.

This is my second gangsta rap album in a row. Yesterday, I gave ICE-T's "O.G. Original Gangster" a 5/5 and I actually enjoyed this one even more. Stop giving me good rap albums or I'll have to go down a rabbit hole I never envisioned myself peeking my head into. The only thing I didn't like were the cheesy skits. I've also noticed that hip hop albums in general happen to be really long. This one, at around 63 minutes, was one of the shorter ones.

Completely unremarkable. Not bad, but also not particularly good or notable. Just a completely regular album that definitely exists. They play the instruments, they sing some lyrics - that's about it. Good for them. The earlier songs were better than the ones near the end. My favorite song was probably "Beautiful". It's a pretty standard feel-good pop track, but I enjoyed it.

I knew the good songs. "Natural Blues", "Porcelain", "Why Does My Heart Feel So Bad?" - all great. Not a fan of the whispering in songs like "The Sky Is Broken" near the end. Speaking of the end, Jesus Christ this album never ends. Moby looks like the villain from Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs 2.

Alright. Not as good as Pretzel Logic. None of the songs are bad, but there's not some huge hit that will blow your mind here. It's all quite safe dad rock you hear on the radio. I mean I guess I can't complain, the title only mentioned a countdown. Maybe the ecstasy in question is their next project, which just happens to be Pretzel Logic. I really like Pretzel Logic, have I mentioned that already.

Not as fun or as house as I expected. The first few songs were pretty good rock tracks, but then they let Helen Keller play the saxophone and it was all downhill from there. Definitely influential though and worth listening to, just skip "L.A. Blues" if you don't want the Guantanamo Bay experience in musical form.

Bro who even is this guy. I google his name and the first result is "Finley Quaye found guilty for headbutting terminally ill friend over Game of Thrones" and the image is some black-and-white Gilbert Gottfried lookalike (rest in peace by the way) and Peter Dinklage. Then the literal next result is "Finley Quaye admits criminal damage after he threw metal road sign through glass bus door". The third result is "Finley Quaye threatened to stab cop and 'get a grenade' for bar manager he vowed to shoot". This guy is just smashing everything in his path, pulverizing innocent citizens with his laser beam eyes, and I'm supposed to listen to his album? I listened to his album and it was pretty alright. Not a huge fan of reggae or obliterating people with metal rods, but I enjoyed "Sunday Shining". Hope he doesn't throw a comically large piano down a flight of stairs at me for giving his album a 2/5.

I am a sucker for stupid British songs about goblins, clowns, toy soldiers, gnomes and such (think "The Piper at the Gates of Dawn" by Pink Floyd). I had fun with this. "David Watts" was funny, "Waterloo Sunset" made me feel good and "Death of a Clown" is so stupid that I love it. Something about the image of a clown being lowered into a coffin is hilarious to me. Fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa. That'll be stuck in my head for the entire week.

Another really old one. Sorry, all the music from this era and genre sounds the same to me. I'll just copy-paste the thing I always write for these: "Clearly influential and talented, but not for me"

About as musically interesting as listening to a bubbling pot.

I forgot I was listening to this while I was listening to this. I had a split second thought like "Damn, kinda quiet here. I should put some music on." and then I remembered this was playing. Not a fan at all. A chore to get through. "Waterfalls" was supposed to be the big hit but I didn't even register when the song started or ended.

Pretty good. I still prefer Nirvana and Pearl Jam, but I can respect this album a lot. I'll have to listen to it again to form a stronger opinion, but a 3/5 for now.

The Eagles are probably the band that most people think of when they hear "dad rock" but man.. I kinda really like this album. I was expecting to loathe this since I don't particularly care for country music but I even enjoyed the song called "Earlybird" which is the most stereotypical farm music I've ever heard in my life. It's corny (like.. actual corn, yeehaw), easy to hate on, and not the most musically impressive thing ever made, but I like it.

Nice. I listened to this while insanely drunk and it enhanced my experience. I'm still not sober, so I don't even know what I'm writing right now. Man's got a lot of arms. They should call him Slimmy Jimi. I don't remember it that well, but I don't think it's exactly the album's fault.

Awesome guitar but the vocals are unbearable. I think this would work better as an instrumental album, but I get that's not what she was going for. This is about her struggles and damn, reading her Wikipedia article for the first time, how is this woman still alive.

A good album, a great album even, but one of the best ever? Ehh... seems like a 4/5 to me. There's the huge hits like "Beat It", "Billie Jean" and the title track, and then there's songs that are just kind of there (not bad, but not quite memorable and overshadowed by the huge hits) like "Human Nature" and "The Lady In My Life". Also isn't Paul McCartney like 30 years older than MJ? Why are they fighting for the same girl? I'm sure nobody has made that observation before.

Dude whatever. This is absolutely not something you need to listen to before you die. This is something you find in your dad's CD rack and even he would be like "I don't remember this one". A 2/5 since I don't actually hate the songs here, they're really simple and kind of boring, but I can still listen to them. I'm mostly just baffled at why this was included.

Mostly just generic rock. I really like Who's Next, but this one didn't quite click with me. The first few songs were completely forgettable. "My Generation" was good, I also enjoyed the instrumental "The Ox". I'm not the biggest fan of Daltrey's vocals. Keith Moon killing it on the drums as usual, but maybe they rely on him a bit too much? I'll give this a 2/5 from an enjoyment factor, but I respect this album a thousand times more than the albums I usually give 2s to.

This is fucking horrible - I love it. I'm not sure why I actually like this. The lyrics are stupid, the music is stupid, the name and album art are stupid.. there's even a completely random pirate song for absolutely no reason. The band's not even "Adam & The Ants", there's one guy named "Adam Ant". It makes no sense - that's like The Beatles calling themselves "John & The Lennons". This is what the kids like to call "penis music" and I'm here for it. Yeah I gave this a 4/5 and The White Album a 2/5, what are you going to do about it. I am aware that my brain is completely rotten and that I have tiny goblins building aqueducts in my cerebral cortex.

Couldn't get into it. Just insanely boring and uninteresting. All the songs sound the same.. guess Oasis isn't for me because I always found Wonderwall to be very boring as well. Blur wins. Actually Suede wins but they were too busy doing crack cocaine during the whole feud. Can't believe these guys used to be labeled as "the next Beatles".

Pretty good. Not groundbreaking, but I enjoyed it as chill morning music. One of those albums where I have nothing to say. It's always the ones where the cover is some guy looking at you. The ones where you think "Okay, i'll listen to this and I'll even probably enjoy it, but this isn't going to be the next Dark Side of the Moon". 3/5

Background music. This kind of album is always hard to review because you're not supposed to be listening to it from the comfort of your home with breakfast in hand. I hated the song with the random moaning woman. What an annoying sample.

I always thought this was an album from the early 70s, not the late 80s.. damn. Kind of a weird combination of synths and African singing. I've had the "Ladysmith Black Mambazo" album on here before and I quite enjoyed that one, but I think the song with them on this album was my least favorite one. Cultural appropriation? I don't know, I haven't read enough about the production of this album to know how he treated them and hell, I'm not the one to decide if this is or isn't cultural appropriation. I'm just happy to be exposed to South African music because I would never seek music like this on my own. Overall nice to hear something different because I've been in an uninteresting meh music limbo the past two weeks. A strong 3/5 I think.

It's exactly what one would expect. Good voice. Also there's a cat on the album cover, just noticed that while writing this sentence.

I don't get it. Seems like generic glam rock. Nothing is bad, nothing really stands out.. I never know how to rate these, because they are immediately removed from my memory within a minute of the album ending. "Metal Guru" was probably my favorite song, "Ballroom of Mars" was oingy-boingy. I don't know what that means either but that's what I wrote down.

Yup. It's definitely reggae.

I love evil music! I want to listen to music that would get me burned at the stake in the 15th century! The spooky Halloween atmosphere is awesome, too bad it's May right now. Full of bangers - the title track is a contender for best metal song of all time. "N.I.B." was sick, so was "The Wizard". I gotta say, thanks for using the harmonica in its intended form - a horror instrument. Take notes, Bob Dylan - I don't want to hear your screeching piece of rusty metal in an otherwise beautiful song. The harmonica is a demonic instrument that summons demons.

I kinda wish more songs on this album sounded like "Frontier Psychiatrist", since that's undoubtedly the best song here. I've been really harsh on these dance albums (and holy shit there's a lot of them on this list), but I really enjoyed this one. It was fun, funky and criminally insane. A bit too long though. None of the songs after "Frontier Psychiatrist" hit particularly hard.

Jesse play "the 2 hour long psychedelic space rock album about accumulators and simultaneous orgasms, featuring Lemmy from Motörhead on bass with the naked woman on the cover" even if we scare the hoes. Yo Mr White that's a great idea. I love that album. My favorite song is "Brainstorm", which goes on for 14 minutes and roughly 12 minutes of that is a guitar solo.

INTRODUCING THE ALL NEW FORD MUSTANG [Camera shows car on a highway with almost no traffic] ZERO PERCENT FINANCING [Camera shows timelapse of the Milky Way galaxy] (A song from this album is playing in the background the entire time) Some songs sounded like Imagine Dragons which instantly activated my fight-or-flight response.

Never heard of him, but seeing a dapper guy eating a banana at a warehouse is always a great first impression. Actually really like this. Enjoyed the vocals, the slight 80s cheesiness was endearing (I love stupid songs. "Jazz Police" was great). My favorite song though was probably "First We Take Manhattan" - sounded like a Bond villain speech and I'm always a sucker for that kind of evil sound.

Not good. Boring and an hour long, the worst combination. False advertising. This is absolutely not a concept album. There's one song about the "lost ship of Veronica" that's supposed to be the main motif, and then it's just random Beatlesesque love songs and the occasional yeehaw farm music for some reason. (And no, "Seven Seas Symphony" doesn't count. You can name that song "Fartdingle" and it loses any semblance of a connection to the concept). Very close to being a 1/5, but there's like two songs here that I genuinely really liked. "Suddenly" and "Seven Seas Symphony". These guys found their place in music later on. I can't take that one 8-minute long epic progressive pop track on this album seriously because I keep hearing the falsetto "STAYIN' ALIVE, STAYIN' ALIVE" in the back of my mind. Sorry, I don't know why I wrote an entire college essay about this one. I should have just said "Meh, not for me" and moved on with my day.

Well.. it sure is disco. Can't deny that. The songs are too long for their own good. It gets really samey near the end.

I've only heard "Cut Your Hair" before and I don't know anything about Pavement. Just some regular 90s alt rock. Nothing particularly memorable and kind of gets annoying near the end. That last song just goes on forever, man. There's something "unfinished" about this album and I can't put my finger on it. Nothing really grabbed me and I blame the lack of polish.

Best country album so far, but still a 3/5 since I'm not a fan of this genre at all. Willie Nelson seems like a great guy though. He's almost 90 and still kicking ass apparently. 5 albums in the last 3 years, damn.

Wow. This sucked. Like genuinely, this is absolutely atrocious and borderline unlistenable. I found nothing redeeming in this and was relieved when it finally ended after 50 minutes. Too long, too repetitive, the music sucks and the vocals are horrible. Good god, the vocals are so bad. How can you make a song like "You Masculine You" and think you've created art. I'm almost 150 albums deep and this is was the hardest thing to finish save for maybe L'Eau Rouge by The Young Gods. Watergate.

Britpop + psychedelia + punk rock? Was this album made specifically for me? Fun and the right amount of stupid. Some songs were a bit forgettable. This band is very much up my alley though, gotta check their other work as well. Shit, they made an entire neo-psychedelic album in Welsh?

Incredibly influential, of course, but kind of suffers from "Seinfeld is unfunny" syndrome. Just seems like average alt rock by today's standards and I found the guy's voice a bit annoying after a while. "Mountain Song" was good, "Jane Says" and "Pigs in Zen" as well. Not a huge fan of "Ted, Just Admit it.." which is 7 minutes long but doesn't do anything special with the time it's given. The album art is absolute nightmare fuel and the boobs don't help.

Nice voice, but no way this is something you need to hear before you die. The NINETEENTH album by her? Was this seriously such a huge step up from the first eighteen? Always eyebrow-raising when you check the Legacy section on Wikipedia and the only sentence is "The album was included in the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die." Also not a big fan of country or folk.

Very chill, beautiful and an easy listen. I really liked this. Some of the songs here make me feel emotions that don't exist. "Goddess on a Hiway" was amazing, so were all the songs after it, finishing off with "Delta Sun Bottleneck Stomp". "I Collect Coins" reminds me of something and I can't put my finger on it.. really, there were no bad songs here. I don't have anything to complain about.

The Rolling Stones are one of the biggest bands of all time but I always keep forgetting they exist for some reason. I really only listen to two songs by them ("Gimme Shelter" and "Paint It Black") over and over again. This was my first full Rolling Stones album, and it was pretty damn good. The songs are all solid, with "Sympathy for the Devil" being the standout track. The worst ones are not bad, just kind of forgettable. I don't really remember what "Dear Doctor" or "Prodigal Son" were about.

Very average 70s prog rock with 2 standout tracks ("School" and "Asylum"). The finale of the last track ("Crime of the Century") was also nice. I'm kind of done with prog rock at the moment. Would have loved this two years ago.

Dire Straits is sort of like Queen for me, in that I would much rather just listen to their singles thrown in a random rock playlist than an entire album. "Sultans of Swing", "Money for Nothing", "Romeo and Juliet".. some of my favorite songs of all time. "Setting Me Up", "Wild West End", "Lovely Ride", "Lions"? I listened to this album three hours ago and I have no idea what any of these are. Tell me to name any word sung or any note played and I'd tell you to shoot me in the head, man. You probably didn't even notice that I made the third song up. So basically what I'm saying is that I have crippling ADHD and "Sultans of Swing" is the only memorable song on this album. Cool album cover though.

Probably one of the better choices for a soundtrack addition to the list, but it's no "Minecraft - Volume Alpha" by C418, let's be honest. "Saturday Night Fever"? Never heard of her. This is strictly a "Minecraft - Volume Alpha" household. This album seems like mostly average soul to me, sorry. Not a huge fan of soul, although I did enjoy "Give Me Your Love".

Cool. I used to listen to this band before going to sleep a lot for some reason and I kind of Pavlov dogged myself. I could feel my eyes closing on their own even though it was only 2 PM while I was listening to this. Gothic rock is up my alley, but I prefer Siouxsie and the Banshees, Joy Division, Nick Cave and the background music for Big Boo's Haunt in Super Mario 64. Still very good though - a 3.5/5

Undoubtedly the greatest country album named "John Prine" released in 1971.

I can't listen to jazz. I don't understand it. It's the musical equivalent of a foreign language to me. I'm sure the saxophonist is spitting straight facts, but it just sounds like random annoying dooting to me.

Kind of dated, kind of dumb, kind of cliché... but also kind of fun. Kept my attention for longer than I thought it would. The title track is a proper banger, so is "Paradise by the Dashboard Light". Not a fan of the last track, which always sucks, because it leaves you with a sour taste even if the rest of the album was great. Has some lows, has some highs, probably wouldn't listen to the entire thing again, a 3/5.

Awesome. A mix of the gothic Joy Division sound and something poppier. I really like Joy Division so I don't know why I never bothered listening to this band before. He's doing the Megamind "No bitches?" angle on the cover by the way.

Spongebob title card music. I like it.

I liked this more than the first Bob Marley album I had (Exodus), but it's still reggae.. and I'm not the biggest fan of reggae. That being said, it was pretty chill background noise and it helped me focus in a particularly stressful situation.

This is undoubtedly one of the best albums of all time. I was going to list my favorite songs, but then I realized I was just typing all the tracks on here in order. Even "Fitter Happier", which is a text to speech program coldly reading words from a list manages to make me emotional. Seriously can't name a single thing I dislike about this album. Not only is this a 5/5, it's also a 10/10. Love these little British music goblins. Looking forward to giving The Bends the same score as well. Maybe Kid A as well.

This is so fucking sick. Makes me want to bench press a blue whale. Heavy, but not in that annoying "SATAN BLOOD DEATH! MY PARENTS ARE GETTING A DIVORCE" kind of way (Looking at you, Slayer). Mixing the screaming and insane guitars with Brazilian tribal music somehow works incredibly well. Favorite track was either "Ratamahatta", "Endangered Species" or "Roots Bloody Roots". Honorable mention goes to the 13-minute bonus track "Canyon Jam". A 2.76 global rating? Made me think I was going to be listening to Poundland Megadeth or something.

I thought I would enjoy this, but the songs are just too long. It's still pretty good, but I don't see myself ever going back to it and listening to the entire album again. "The Humpty Dance" is a classic, no doubt. Most songs are really good even, but for some reason all of them are over 5 minutes long (up to 9 minutes). They lose their steam halfway through - "Doowutchyalike" should have really just ended on that fake fade-out gag. Loved the concept of "sex packets". It's like they made a whole album based on some random Family Guy cutaway joke. Also "MC Blowfish"? How the fuck do you come up with that. How do you drag that concept out of your head. I love it.

Let's talk about that album cover. Actually, let's not. A few good songs, but mostly forgettable. "Novacaine for the Soul", "Susan's House" and "Mental" were my favorites. Not a huge fan of the singer's voice - he sings like he's just going through the motions most of the time.

The first disc was forgettable. Nothing special, just regular psychedelic-ish rock. The only good song on that half was "Lazy Sunday". The second disc absolutely saves the entire album and carries it to a 4/5 for me. I love stupid concepts and a guy riding a giant fly to locate the other half of the moon is something I can get behind. It was strangely nostalgic and reminded me of old fairy tales (something they were probably going for). Best songs: "Lazy Sunday", "Happiness Stan", "Mad John", "HappyDaysToyTown".

Meh. Wasn't feeling it. I couldn't connect with this one as much as the other rap albums I've had so far, so this ended up being mostly just background noise.

Actually pretty lovely background music. Has its charm in a "monkeys with typewriters" kind of way. Most of the time it's regular piano playing, but then he'll randomly use some kind of black magic piano cheat code that makes me feel emotions, and I'll be like "God damn okay. Please continue, Keith Jarrett at the Opera House in Cologne".

Never got the hype around this one to be honest. It's still good, but I'd take Revolver or Sgt Pepper over it any day of the week. My favorite songs on this album are "Come Together", "I Want You (She's So Heavy)" and "Here Comes The Sun". I don't care for any of the songs after "Because" - the medley doesn't work for me and never has, don't know why. I really hope I don't come off as a contrarian, because I see that this is one of the highest rated albums on the site. The problem is clearly on my receiving end, I fully get that. Although Rango "Sir Richard Starkley MBE" Starr really carries the Beatles to greatness as always with his beautiful song "Octopus's Garden", which is a metaphor for pubic hair or some shit. Peace and love, peace and love 😎✌️🌟🌟❤️🎶💕☮️

I really like when the generator throws me a curveball of an album like this - something obscure from a genre I barely even know exists. Even if I don't necessarily love it, it's always a treat to explore musical depths. Spotify has the wrong album, but the version on Youtube I listened to was fantastic. The vinyl crackling really added to the mystical atmosphere. Like I just uncovered some lost buried disc in the middle of the Kashmir mountains. Atmospherically a 5/5, current enjoyment-wise a strong 3/5 but I'm definitely listening to some of this again once I'm in the right mood (probably not the full 40 minutes though, not counting bonus tracks).

"Fear Of Music"? Yeah, these guys were deathly afraid of making good music. I don't get this genre at all. They're just talking... with their heads. Almost like they're The Talking Heads™ (Credits roll) There's like 5 Talking Heads albums on this list. Maybe I'll enjoy one of them, since I actually think Psycho Killer's quite a banger.

Some great songs like "Expecting to Fly" and "Broken Arrow", but more filler than killer. The second half is completely forgettable except for the final track.

Really great. Guy with the deep voice (Charli 2na I think?) steals the show, but they're all great and work well together. The last 5 tracks are pretty meh, but other than that it's great beats and great flows all around. Favorite track was "Thin Line".

Listening to Earth, Wind & Fire gives me the same vibes as watching UFO sightings on Youtube.

I rarely pay attention to lyrics in music and that's like 50% of Kendrick's appeal. His fans treat his music like the Pepe Silvia scene from It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia. This album isn't for me (I'm Slavic. So white that I'm basically translucent), but I have to admit that King Kunta is fucking incredible - probably my favorite hip hop track of all time.

This and Origin of Symmetry are my favorite Muse albums. Too bad they get worse and worse with every album they put out. It's music that was probably made in a lab and if I were to sniff the album I would get glitter in my nose, but it's still really damn good. The best song on the album, also the best song of the entire Muse discography is without a doubt "Knights of Cydonia". Other great songs: "Starlight", "City of Delusion", "Glorious" and "Supermassive Black Hole".

Is this.. country punk? Whatever this abomination is, I don't like it. Every song is the same. They say the N-word more times than the amount of chords they can play.

Pretty sure I've heard this before while looking into African music on Spotify. I also recommend Mdou Moctar to anyone who enjoyed this. Language barrier? I don't care! I just like the way their voices and guitars sound. The singer could be hexing my entire family for all I know. Look at that cover. These guys are better than you and they know it. Four outta five.

I'm too dead inside for this kind of energy. Also the music fucking sucks.

My Spotify friends probably think I'm a serial killer. All of them are out here vibing to their "summer vibes" playlist - Avril Lavigne, Harry Styles, whatever, and I've been on a 30 minute long binge of SUICIDE - SUICIDE. Look man, I understand that music taste is subjective but I seriously can't imagine anyone willingly listening to this in their free time. What enjoyment can you get from a guy mumbling random words from the bottom of a well over the Pac-Man theme song. "Frankie Teardrop" is the worst song I've ever heard in my life. I bet they really felt like they made art with that one. Yeah, let's sing about a guy killing his wife and then make goat sex noises for 3 minutes. It was supposed to be unnerving, but the only emotion I felt was annoyance. I think a Youtube comment I saw put it the best: "It’s like a bad horror movie that has a trash story and only relies on jumpscares lol" Do not check the Wikipedia page for "Johnny (Suicide song)". Currently listening to "10 hours of nails on chalkboard" to cleanse my ears.

This is just straight up good music. Nothing groundbreaking or special, but still good and sometimes that's everything you need. Tickles my brain and makes me feel nice. This man has never played a genie in a Disney movie.

Who's best. The songs here are so iconic that I'm pretty sure you're just born into this world with the knowledge of their existence. "Baba O'Riley", "Behind Blue Eyes", "Won't Get Fooled Again" - some of the biggest songs ever. I'm also a big fan of "Bargain" and "My Wife". One of the most iconic album covers of all time. They really pissed all over that monolith. Good for them.

This was pretty damn good honestly. It goes in every direction at once. Trip-Hop? Tired of that, this is an electronic album now. Actually, this is a Hindi classical album now. Just kidding, back to trip-hop. Actually let's do a lo-fi song. Okay, back to Hindi classical... with a tinge of jazz. The second half drags on a bit, despite still having some great songs. "The Conference" is so silly, I love it. It's like two Animal Crossing characters arguing. Can't choose one favorite track. Either "Broken Skin", "Homelands", "Pilgrim" or "Nostalgia".

Whatever. French rap that's too long and too forgettable. I'm sure he's spitting straight facts though.

Absolutely loved all of it. I've never heard of this band and this album is now one of my favorites. When it ended, I even listened to all the bonus tracks and then wanted to listen to their entire discography back to back... turns out they only made two albums.. and this is their only one on Spotify. That's the first time I've ever done that from what I remember. Whoever's that saxophonist, I hope he's alive and healthy. What a legend.

Music for people who clap when an airplane lands. Too many albums from the Neil Young Extended Universe (CSN, CSNY, Buffalo Springfield, all of the members' solo albums) on this list and they all sound the same.
