I got both Pogues albums generated back-to-back on my weekend days, which I usually save for Monday listening. So it is Monday morning now, and I have listened to Irish folk-punk for 2 hours straight... it was fine but that's probably enough of that for the next 5 years
Probably only on this list to remind us all how cringe and shitty Kid Rock is
Honestly, why are live albums in the book? Most of them don't bring anything new to the table.
It's always a nice day when you're adding your review from the previous day late at night, and then you get an absolute classic generated for the next day.
Lots of good on this album. And also lots of silly, experimental songs on this album. One can see the creative differences at play between the Beatles, but overall they churn out another album with plenty of classics.
Really bad
Usually like the Eno albums on this list, but this one didn't hit for me. Might've been as I was expecting another ambient album.
I think the band had a stroke halfway through this album
Wtf am I listening to
There's some good songs on here, but in the end, the album is too long and repetitive.
Who doesn't love bongos?
Just kinda long and boring.
Deceptacon is awesome... the rest is fine
The music itself is fine, but then I look at the album cover and song titles and remember how much of a fucking pretentious, racist asshole Morrissey is.
Entertainingly bad? There's something amusing hearing the "vocals" scream unintelligible nonsense over just ridiculous drums and guitar riffs. It's definitely an album to listen to one time and then never again.
Rhythm section was cool... made it at least listenable despite the guitarist's and vocalist's efforts
This is a silly album. Once you get past the first couple tracks it's a little less chaotic, but yeah. Good luck keeping your sanity on this listen.
Hah! I just listened to this a week ago. Very good album
Not sure why, but I really like this album cover.
I listened to this on a rainy day in Nebraska, which would seem like the optimal conditions, and... it was just fine.
This is an essential part of my college soundtrack! Jammed to this so many times walking between classes. This just hits that synth-pop itch for me, so it's an easy 5/5.
Apparently I need to listen to more Blondie...
I didn't hate this, there was just nothing remarkable about it that makes me think it warrants a spot on the list. Like within a year I will have forgotten I listened to this.
I like QotSA, but they have multiple albums more deserving than this one
I got both Pogues albums generated back-to-back on my weekend days, which I usually save for Monday listening. So it is Monday morning now, and I have listened to Irish folk-punk for 2 hours straight... it was fine but that's probably enough of that for the next 5 years
This is a weird album to have come out in 1999... it feels like it should've been from like 20 years prior, so I guess this band didn't really progress musically in all their time as a band. It wasnt awful, but I don't understand who this album is for, or why it's on the list.
I'd give more stars if it was just the bass man
This feels like it's trying too hard to be the British "good kid maad city".
🥬
I do like Bowie's music, but this one wasn't doing it for me. It's his 8th album in the list I've run into, and making me think the author should've had a limit on albums from a single artist.
This had some good moments, but ended up being too long with too much filler.
Things I hate about this album: - The album cover. Did they just give him random props? Why a tommy gun? - The first song, I was shocked reading along to the lyrics. Just a weird attempt at what was probably supposed to be an anti-Iraq war song. - Also it's kinda ironic Morrissey calling out the US not having a black president at the time, and now he's a total racist - All the song titles... peak of Morrissey's pretentiousness - Now that I remember the album title, I hate that too - If I stop listening to the lyrics, the actual music is fine, but nothing groundbreaking. ("I Like You" is decent) - That I'm only halfway through this album... It got a little better in the second half, but I did start paying less attention.
I may be listening to Chappell Roan too much, as I kept thinking when reading the album title "... you can take me Haut de Gamme!" Does that even make sense? I don't speak French. When I'm not thinking about modern pop stars, this music is pretty nice to listen to.
Not a huge fan of live albums, but this was pretty good. Having a few recognizable songs that seem to be better than the studio versions gives it a boost in stars for me.
Man... this was just a very unspectacular album. I do get the connection to shoegaze of the 90's, but there was just nothing that would make me want to listen to this album again.
Yeah... some of this early 2000's pop/R&B just has not aged well.
Yeah, I'm not on enough hard drugs to be able to enjoy this album
Definitely some classics on here, but also some cheesy 80s music on here.
A classic of 80's hair metal. Is it cheesy at times? Yes. Is it something your dad would listen to on the radio and reminisce about the good old days? Absolutely. Does it give me any deep thoughts about the world we live in? Not really. And that's all fine. It's currently the day before the elections in the US, and sometimes you just need an easy-listening album to escape the stresses of the real world.
I'm not a fan of Kanye these days, due to politics and him being kinda a psycho... but I have to admit this album is pretty solid. Also a shame this is the most representation Bon Iver gets on the list.
Today I discovered a genre I don't need to listen to ever again. Oh, but "Let's Get it On" oddly reminds me of the bee boo-boo bop song from SpongeBob.
A good wikipedia deep dive around this album. Found out this is Pat Smear (of Foo Fighters) first band and Joan Jett produced it. I love seeing all the entwined connections between bands while going through this project.
Yeah, I kinda get the hate for Fred Durst, with the whiny voice and cringe lyrics. The saving grace on this album are the instrumentals... pretty solid Nu-metal.
George Michael gets a whiff of his armpits... and they STINK Jk, this album was fine.
Possibly one of the best debut albums? "Just What I Needed" is an all-time classic, and this album is full of other hits. I was a little disappointed with "I'm in Touch with Your World", but the rest is filled with songs I've liked for years, so this still gets a 5 for me. Very deserving to be on this list
I feel like I listened to the same song 20 times in a row... maybe better for people who listen more to lyrics, but this wasn't for me.
Great album. I saw Soundgarden just a few shows before Chris Cornell passed. These songs still sounded incredible 20 years after release, and I was grateful I caught that show with the original lineup.
This is kinda a weird inclusion in the list. A 2000's release doing psychedelia music that sounds like it should be 30 years older. I didn't pick up on anything especially new or experimental with this. I maybe started to see the Radiohead connection (from the wiki page) on the latter half of the album. Also, the album cover does not fit the vibe of this music at all. Overall, I didn't get super into this and will probably forget I ever listened to it.
Pop-punk is pretty underrepresented on the list. This album didn't invent it, but certainly perfected it. Easy 5 stars for me
Yeah, it's a 5
Man, I've seen people complain about Dexys being on the list because there's too many of their albums included... I'm complaining about this being on the list because it was awful to listen to.
Meh... boring, washed-up pop record. Early 2000's wasn't a great time for pop music, just a lot of safe, uninspired music. Definitely didn't need to listen to this.
This is a typical Sonic Youth album for me. I can tell there's some talent within the layered guitars to make appealing music... but then 90% of the time a song gets ruined by awful vocals, screaming, or one of the guitarist just deciding to untune the guitar and fuck around. So idk, maybe art rock or whatever bullshit they want to call it just doesn't appeal to me. Also they bullied Nardwuar that one time, so I have some disdain any time their music comes up.
There's a few songs that you'd hear on old dad rock radio stations, but it's all pretty bland and you can tell they were only famous because they dressed kinda crazy. I do understand now why I've never gone out of my way to listen to KISS. Does this need to be on this list though? Nah
Niiiiiice... For real though, this is a prime example of why quality over quantity is important. There wasn't much that stuck out over the nearly 3 hr runtime, and I get the impression they're writing this number of songs more as an achievement rather than for the artform or having something important to say. So yeah, I did get the whole way through it as background noise, but didn't feel worth my time
I probably needed to be on a ton of drugs to find enjoyment in this... This solidified that I'm just not a Zappa fan. He's probably actually a talented musician, but every album adjacent to him that comes up on here is some stupid, garbage music that's meant to critique other music or whatever. Like this is supposed to be criticizing the Beatles for selling out I guess? It's difficult to take that seriously in hindsight with how impactful the Beatles have been, and also just how much I didn't enjoy thus album.
This one's difficult to rate, as the whole album isn't available... best I found was 24 mins of it on YouTube music. And it was difficult to get through even that much of the album.
Pressure Point is a great song (mvp baseball '05 anyone?) but I don't understand why this album needs to be on the list
I appreciate the idea: an album exclusively made with the human voice. While a couple songs were pretty solid, this album didn't draw me in and keep me interested.
This album was huge when I was first venturing into music, so some of the songs are very familiar to me. 17 years later, I can't say this is a "must listen" album.
Ooh, this one's right up my wheelhouse! Love getting a new discovery from the list. Probably just a 4/5 for now, but worth a re-listen.
Ugh... some of the world music on the list has been interesting. This one I was kinda sick of by the third track, and there was still 40 mins of the same exact thing coming up. Not a fan

Well, I had forgotten where I had heard of this album before. Started listening and immediately knew... this is from the bottom of the global rankings on here. Well deserved honestly. Definitely one of those art rock albums where they try to make it as unlistenable as possible
A few years ago this would be a 5 for me. The first half of the album is still great, but the second half is kind of a dud and a little too long.
Average rating is within 0.15 points of global average.
