Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness
The Smashing Pumpkins • 5/5
The perfect album to gaslight your friend into thinking it's their favorite album. It's a double album... but YOU KNOW THAT! It's got bullet with butterfly wings, 1979, bullet with butterfly wings... zero. They're all from your favorite album by the smashing pumpkins melloncollieandtheinfinitesadness. You've definitely listened to it 19 times, you love it! How many times have you been like "I gotta go man, I gotta listen to mellon collie and the infinite sadness". BECAUSE ITS YOUR FAVORITE!

The Pogues · 6 likes
3/5
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.

Morrissey
1/5
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.
Koffi Olomide

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.

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.

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.

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 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.
