Like my album yesterday, this is my third time listening to this one. I feel conflicted about my rating on this album. I’m still at the beginning of the list, so I’m still figuring out my rating system. As much as I think that this album is great and obviously deserves to be on this list, I just don’t like much of the songs on it. My ratings so far have all been personal to me, so I’m just going to give it a 3.

Second listen.
👍: You Oughta Know, Not The Doctor, Forgiven, Right Through You, Head Over Feet

👎: All I Really Want, Hand In My Pocket, You Learn
This one was more of a mixed bag than I remembered. I like a couple of the songs. You Oughta Know was my favorite, which was not a surprise. I was surprised by how much I liked Head Over Feet this time. My biggest problem with it is Alanis’s voice, which I still dislike. My true score for it is probably a 3.5, but I’ll give it a 4 since at least the bad parts stand out.

This was my third listen of this album. I’ve heard all of Björk’s solo albums (besides the jazz one, Selmasongs, and the one she did as a child) and I think this is my favorite, although it wasn’t initially and it might change in the future. Despite that, I’m surprised that this (+ Debut and Vulnicura) is even on this list when Post and Homogenic aren’t. I don’t know if I have much to say about the album itself because I don’t have anything insightful to say about it. It’s just good. Favorite songs: “Oceania”, “Pleasure Is All Mine”, “Mouths Cradle”.
(Also, by the way: would like to change my ratings for Debut to a 5, Abbey Road to a 4, and Tracy Chapman’s self-titled album to a 3 because my rating system has already changed.)

A lot of the songs are really cheesy for some reason. Also, ABBA songs get worn out for me very easily, which is probably a factor. The 4 is mostly for my two favorites on this one, “Money, Money, Money” and “Fernando”. (I’ve gotten a little tired of those two as well.)

Rage Against The Machine
Rage Against The Machine
I have way more to say about this than I thought I would. I had pretty low expectations and was even hesitant to listen to it, because listening to rap metal is kind of an awkward experience. Ultimately, I was very frustrated by this, because I really liked the riffs and would have liked it so much more if there weren’t 3 major weaknesses. Because I am definitely a sound-over-lyrics listener, the biggest problem was the rapping, which just sounds very awkward over this music and too shouty. The second problem was how repetitive the songs were. There are a couple of songs where most of it is just the same lyric over and over again. Within the album, a lot of the songs sound very similar, although this might be because I’m really unfamiliar with the genre. Also, like a lot of reviewers mentioned, the lyrics are a little silly at times, like “Compromise, conformity, assimilation, submission/Ignorance, hypocrisy, brutality, the elite/All of which are American dreams (repeated 8 times)”. So I had mixed feelings about this, overall. Favorite song: “Bullet In The Head”.

2nd listen. I was surprised about how much I liked this album the first time I listened to it, but somehow now, listening to it for the second time, I’m still surprised. I think this is the first 5 star album for me on here that hasn’t been from a band that I am really a fan of (although I should probably listen to them more).

OK, this is the new bottom of the ranking of all of these albums so far, out of 364. (I also figured out just now that my ranking is missing some albums, which means I have to sort it out again, which adds to the list of grievances I have against this album.) It was already apparent that this would be a new low by the title of this album (also, why does the band name use an ampersand when the album doesn’t?), and it pretty much proved my assumption correctly. It was a lot more boring than I imagined it being, but whenever I started paying attention again I wished that I hadn’t. What was the reasoning behind putting this on the list?
