This thing is so insanely boring. Its like U2 if they never tried to do anything exciting. The opener is decent enough, and the closer FINALLY brings some energy, but the rest feels like I’m being dragged underwater by someone moaning tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiime every couple of seconds. There’s nothing interesting about this, and the only time I think I’ll ever think about this album is when Bittersweet Symphony plays for the one billionth time and I go “Oh! I know that one, it’s from that album I hated, who was it by again? Oh never mind, who cares.” I can’t overstate how great it felt to get to the end of this and have another song not by these guys come up.

This thing rocks, great tunes all throughout with some solid slow jams as well. Highlights: Brown Sugar, Bitch, Wild Horses, Can’t You Hear Me Knocking

Decent dance and disco album with some all timers to start it off. It gets incredibly repetitive and the lyrics are super simple, but it definitely got me moving. Highlights: Chic Cheer, Le Freak, I Want Your Love.

There are some great chill songs on here but I feel like I need to be in the right headspace or this thing just feels incredibly boring. Highlights: Marrakesh Express, Pre-Road Downs, Wooden Ships.

This album reminds me of cruising with my dad in his old truck. Lots of great classics on here.

I knew about Beer Drinkers and Hell Raisers and La Grange before going into this, but the rest of this hits just as hard. A classic rock / blues album with some great grooves and simple lyrics all throughout.

This thing slaps. Very few albums on this list have me looking up the lyrics and the meaning behind them but I had to for this. It’s thematic, powerful, jarring, and a great listen. Those drums hit on almost every song and Fiona’s songwriting is great. I really just wish she used that voice and range more instead of speaking for a large portion of the album. Highlights: Rack of His, I Want You To Love Me, Shameika.

2112 and lessons are insane.

An absolute classic imo. Classic after classic.

Fairly repetitive grooves, but overall a great rock album. Ozzy’s voice absolutely carries, it’s so powerful.

I can appreciate the playing, themes, lyrics, and singing on this album but I don’t think it’s something I’d ever revisit. It’s a very low key funk that just didn’t resonate with me very much. I thought a few of the tracks were decent, but nothing was good enough to really stand out for me.

Definitely some solid tracks on here but it reminds me of working at my dad’s shop and hearing the alt rock on the radio all day which isn’t necessarily a great thing. It’s got a very modern sound that I think a lot of bands tried to copy, but I don’t think I’m a huge fan of alt rock in general. I’ll definitely be returning to a few songs on here, but it’s definitely not my favorite thing that’s come through the generator so far.

I went into this ready to dislike it based on the first few seconds but man it grew on me so quickly. It’s one of the cleanest sounding records I think I’ve ever heard. Every instrument, word, and note feels perfectly placed, recorded, and played. The only reason I don’t think I’d give it a 5 is that I don’t really see myself throwing many songs in my regular rotation, but I doubt I’ll ever skip another Steely Dan song after this.

My friends always talk about how trash the Beatles are, so I always go into their albums ready to join them, but I always come out still loving them. Yes their songs are simple and a little dated, but they’re still so catchy and well made. I don’t think this is their best album but it’s still great.

Her voice is amazing but this started to wear on me after a while. Those high notes are HIGH and that vocal wobble is everywhere. It’s very simple, stripped back, and beautiful but it’s not something I’ll likely come back to very often.

This album rules. It’s a bit repetitive but it’s got some great samples, some great bars, and its an all around good time.

Wow, what a voice. Incredibly soulful and powerful.

Not a huge fan of this one, but still decent overall. It felt like more of a showcase for the band (which killed it) than Bruce at times and he seemed to get lost in the mix a lot. His voice is also a little grating at times. Thunder Road, Born to Run, and Jungleland were the major standouts here.

Love me some Jimi and this album’s no exception. Highlights: All Along the Watchtower, Voodoo Chile, Voodoo Child.

Super cool funk album. It gets a little repetitive and some of the songs are quite long (sec machine), but it’s got some great grooves for sure. Highlights: Everyday People, Sing a Simple Song, Stand!

Not a huge fan of the genre but this album was decent enough. I love the more upbeat tracks on this. Highlights: Rusholme Ruffians, Barbarism Begins at Home, I Want the One I Can’t Have, Nowhere Fast.

It’s an easy listen but I really wish there was more Superstition-like tracks instead of the love songs.

It’s not offensive, but I’m not a big fan of this. It’s very much a product of it’s time and the instrumentals are super up and down. The Pharrell tracks are probably the highlight of this thing.

This thing rocks. I was not ready to like this as much as I did.

Never heard of these guys before but came out liking this a lot. It’s noisy, but not as crazy as some of the things you might hear today which makes it quite listenable as well. Lots of highlights on this thing for sure.

Cool little Beatles-like concept album here. Lots of great tracks on this thing.

This thing is so insanely boring. Its like U2 if they never tried to do anything exciting. The opener is decent enough, and the closer FINALLY brings some energy, but the rest feels like I’m being dragged underwater by someone moaning tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiime every couple of seconds. There’s nothing interesting about this, and the only time I think I’ll ever think about this album is when Bittersweet Symphony plays for the one billionth time and I go “Oh! I know that one, it’s from that album I hated, who was it by again? Oh never mind, who cares.” I can’t overstate how great it felt to get to the end of this and have another song not by these guys come up.

What more can you say about this thing? One of the greatest pop albums of all time.

I honestly thought I’d hate this way more than I did. I still thought it was pretty damn boring overall, but not the worst thing I’ve heard yet.

This was fairly decent, but a bit odd. There's a clear switch a few songs into the album from the grimier garage punk style to something more sanitized and clean that I didn't really enjoy as much. It almost felt like they shifted focus towards more standard rock tracks for some reason.

Not sure how I feel about having a live album in this, but Space Truckin' alone brought this thing up to a 3. What a journey.

Is it the greatest album of all time? No. It's got some dated beats and simple lyrics, but it's fun as hell and features hit after hit. A personal favorite from way before I started this, and an easy 5/5.

Pretty standard boomer rock. It's something you'd find on at the shop for sure. Not the greatest thing I've ever listened to, but not offensive either.

I’ll always have a soft spot for classic rock like this. Lots of great classic tunes all over the album that STILL get tons of radio play.

This album was a vibe. I'm normally not one for these slow tempo, low energy records, but this one did it right.

The nostalgia from the singles hit me hard. It's got some great highs like In The End, Papercut, or Crawling, but the rest tends to blend together or end up quite a bit lower in terms of quality. It's not my favorite genre, but I'm never offended when I hear something like this album come on.

I used to think Queen didn’t have a GREAT album until I heard this. It’s wall to wall hits (outside of the love song to the car), and features all kinds of genres which Freddie fits with ease.

This is the ultimate chiller hip-hop album. I don't consider myself a viber, but this was cool enough. A few instrumentals off this wouldn't be out of place on Deltron 3030.

I wouldn’t say this is their best effort, but I still had a great time grooving to it.

The hits HIT. This thing’s incredible for any fan of classic rock. I’m not a huge fan of the spacier tracks, but you can’t deny this thing has some all-timers.

Awesome old school hip-hop with a hint of rock rap. It takes me back to growing up and trying to branch out into different genres. Lyrically pretty simple, but an overall awesome album.

This is exactly the kind of trash I love. I saw the other reviews and kept wondering when it would fall off, but this did everything right for me. It’s high energy, ignorant, and fun. Perfect for lifting heavy at the gym or driving fast.

Pretty enjoyable mix of genres here. Love the angry feminist vibe, but there are definitely also a mix of much worse songs.

I think I get what this is going for but a lot of the tracks come off extremely boring. The singer is essentially whispering the entire time, and the band might as well be doing the same. It’s definitely going for the more spacy, sexy, thing, but it rarely hits for me. Bang a Gong, The Motivator, Lean Woman Blues, and Rip Off seem to have a bit more energy and carry the rest of this thing for me.

Just incredible. Her voice is perfect, the instrumentals are on point, and there isn't a single low point on this album. One of the greatest voices ever.

To me this is pretty basic Beatles and not my favorite from them. There are obviously the massive hits but I’m not a huge fan of the back half of the album.

I enjoyed this album. It's a very easy listen with a ton of memorable hits and some great covers as well. She doesn't sing with the flashiness of someone like Janis Joplin, but she's smooth in her own way, rarely straying out of her comfort zone, but executing with a beautiful precision. Highlights: I Feel the Earth Move, (You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman, So Far Away, Smackwater Jack, and many more.

If only heard Nevermind before this so obviously this had a stupid high bar to live up to, and it delivered imo. It’s like a polished grime, nasty in some places and beautiful in others. Exactly the kind of sound I love.

This one’s a weird one for me. The message is still as pertinent as ever, but the beats feel incredibly dated. That high pitched looping squeal on 90% of the beats is INCREDIBLY annoying when you listen to everything back to back, and some of those samples get pretty repetitive. A song like Bring The Noise is timeless, but I can’t say the same for a lot of the rest of the album. Love Chuck and Flava, and the little mixes of rock-rap but this definitely isn’t anywhere near my favorite hip-hop album.

This was super interesting compared to what I've heard so far. It combines elements of Jazz, Big Band, Rock, and so much more into a weird mish-mash of excellent songs. I do agree with another review I read here that said it was more of a back and forth than a true mash up, but it still makes for some great music. The instruments way outclass the performance of the singer and the mixing really lets each instrument shine which made those drum solos or blasting horns hit that much harder. Huge fan of More and More, Blues, Pt. 2 and most of the higher tempo songs on this thing.

I've been super into the thrash picks, but to me this felt like a slightly worse Metallica. Something felt a bit off, but it was still solid nonetheless.

This list is making me realize just how much I love rock, metal, punk, and any adjacent genre. They play fast, they play hard, the lyrics don’t really matter, and it rules. Number of the Beast in front of Run to the Hills is an all time back to back set of tracks.

This was… interesting, to say the least. Oftentimes you can pinpoint when a record dropped through the production alone but that is definitely not the case here. The beats are so weird, toeing the line between incredibly amateur, simple boom bap type beats and futuristic, experimental stuff that wouldn’t be out of place on a modern Danny Brown or JPEGMAFIA record. I wouldn’t say it’s my favorite rap album, and im definitely not a huge fan of grime considering I barely understood the lyrics on most of this, but I can definitely see how this might have influenced a lot of artists in the rap / grime scene. The beats and flows were definitely the highlight here for me, and this is one I’ll definitely be thinking about for a while.

Is it perfect? Probably not. Is it one of three albums I listened to for an entire year of drives to school and fell in love with? Yes. I think the Bouillabaisse is probably where it lags a bit, but this thing is just filled to the brim with amazing hits, great beats, and goofy interwoven rhyme schemes from the boys. A personal favorite from way back, and one I’ll never get tired of.

Wasn't sure what to expect with a hip-hop instrumental album, but came out pleasantly surprised. The samples and genre fusing across this thing create some incredible beats that easily stand on their own without lyrics. It felt very Portishead at times, and old school at others. It really felt like an album that actually belongs on this list.

I don’t think this record is bad, but the other reviews were not lying when they said it was the same tune over and over and over again. I actually enjoyed the stories quite a bit, but the backing tracks oftentimes didn’t fit the tragic nature of their tales. Definitely interesting, but not something I’ll likely think of after this review.

This was fun. I don't think it's all that groundbreaking, but it was a nice listen. Band on the Run is the most obvious standout, and the basslines punch on most of the songs which I really enjoyed.

Love the pace on this one, and the lyrical content seems surprisingly dense. It hits that part of my brain that loves anything played fast and aggressive really well.

Some of the albums make me question just how they were recorded when they were, and this is another one of those. It sounds SO crisp and clean. I think Moonchild is the obvious low point here but I really enjoyed the other tracks.
