I could have listened to this album on repeat all day. Favorite track: Niki Hoeky
Really liked this album a lot. Good variety between the tracks. Favorite track: Moods for Moderns
Album was a nice listen. Very relaxing music and interesting instrumentals. Not the type of music I would go back to too often, but I'm glad I listened to it. Favorite track: Ragged Wood
This album really didn't interest me at all. Vocals were pretty bland and instrumentals were nothing to write home about. Favorite track: Victory
I loved this album. It feels wrong to categorize this into any one genre because the styles were so variable from song to song. The jazz/ska vibes on I Can't Help Myself is what confirmed my love of this album. Favorite tracks: I Can't Help Myself, A Million Pleading Faces
Big surprise: the album is very good. Favorite track: Things We Said Today
Album absolutely slaps. I could listen to all 7 basslines all day. Favorite track: Keep on Chooglin'
This album left me pretty disappointed unfortunately. Very little variety between the tracks, both in terms of vocals and instrumentals. Favorite track: My Life
What a fantastic album. Can't beat the funk-soul fusion. Favorite track: Sex Machine
Wow, what an incredible album. I'm shocked that I'd never heard of Joan Armatrading until today, but she will certainly be in the regular rotation going forward. Her voice is so powerful and dulcet at the same time on this record--I can't get enough of it. Really glad I got to listen to this. Favorite track: Join the Boys
The album slaps. American Girl is my favorite track on it. Alright, now to listen to the album. His music probably has my favorite vibes of any artist ever. A genuine pleasure to listen to every time.
This album is a strange one to me. It is very obvious why it's made the list: the music is objectively beautiful and extremely well produced. But for some reason, I'm not enjoying it? It almost feels like an AI reproduction of all the things that it takes to make a beautiful album, but it cannot produce the feeling and emotion that goes into it. None of the tracks stood out to me in a way to have me pick a favorite one.
She is indeed dead. Favorite track: The Queen is Dead
One of my favorite vocalists ever, and his voice cuts through so cleanly on this album. But, this album left me kind of disappointed. Decent music, but nothing terribly interesting to me. Favorite track: Sweet Thing
Folk music just isn't for me, I'm afraid. He sounds like he's bored while singing the songs. No favorite tracks.
Really enjoyable album, very pleasant listening experience. Favorite track: Draft Morning
Genuinely have no idea how anybody can find this enjoyable. This barely even registers as music to me. I wish I could give it a 0
I'll always appreciate U2 because regardless of how divisive the opinions on them are, you can't deny that they have a unique sound to them, and it is fully on display in this album. Overall, I really enjoyed it a lot. Favorite tracks: Even Better Than The Real Thing and Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses
Simply incredible. Was not expecting this level of funk in the album, but I love that it was this funky. Favorite track: Funky Music Sho Nuff Turns Me On
Loved this album. Turns out the way to make folk music actually interesting is just making it easy rock instead. Favorite track: Caledonia Mission
This album is an interesting one because I don't really have many problems with it, and I found myself moderately enjoying it. But it also doesn't really move me much either. Favorite track: A Strange Day
This album is quite a journey. Really cool instrumentals throughout and it raises still-poignant points about American culture. But the vocals are (intentionally) jarring and makes it pretty difficult to enjoy listening to most of the album. Favorite tracks: Wowie Zowie, Trouble Every Day
Went into this album expecting to hate it. But this was wonderful. Favorite track: Pounding
What a fucking masterpiece of an album. Incredible instrumentals and vocals throughout. Picking one favorite track here feels sacrilegious, but Mr. Blue Sky has always been my favorite from ELO
Album is obviously way too long. However, if there is a version of country I can handle, it is bluegrass. The songs without lyrics were the best ones. Favorite tracks: Nashville Blues, Orange Blossom Special
Wow, that was awesome. Terminator X was in his bag the entire album. Every single beat was just incredible. Favorite track: She Watch Channel Zero?!
I've really grown to enjoy jam bands a lot over the years, and this is no exception. The instrumentals are superb throughout the album. Favorite track: Flight of the Rat
Overwhelmingly dull and pointless apart from a couple tracks. Favorite track: Bert's Blues
Very cool album. Both the covers and originals were equally impactful and showed the versatility of Indian music. Favorite track: Indra Dance
Excellent album from an excellent band. Favorite track: Drivin'
Just awesome. Really fun to listen to. Favorite track: Reddy Teddy
Just incredible music in this album. I think like this even better than Are You Experienced. Favorite track: If 6 was 9
I really enjoyed this album quite a bit. Usually solo performers in this genre tend to bore me, but the singing and instrumentals really created beautiful, interesting music. Favorite track: Stupidity Tries
*Russell Westbrook eating gif* Favorite track: Blood on the Leaves
The music on this album is interesting, but it is also awfully difficult to listen to. Favorite track: Little Red Riding Hood Hit the Road
Just awesome. Favorite track: Immigrant Song
Pretty insane how many hits came from this album. Another thing that's pretty insane: Adele's voice. Favorite track: Rumour Has It
Decent album with some interesting trippy bits. Favorite track: Mass Production
This album sucked. Jefferson Airplane is not a good band beyond their odd hits. This album perfectly encapsulates this. Favorite track: White Rabbit
This was very pleasant to listen to. Can't pick a favorite track because I had to listen to the album straight through without time markers
Absolutely love Solange's voice, and the album has an extremely powerful message. However, from a pure musical standpoint, not much stood out to me as interesting, or at least not as much as I was hoping for. Favorite track: F.U.B.U.
Hot take: Aretha Franklin's voice is good. Favorite track: Soul Serenade
This album was a fantastic with themes that could have been written in 2022. Latin fusion sound is very underrated. Favorite track: Dejame En Paz
Yes, it is too long. But it's an absolute pleasure to listen to. Favorite track: Master of Puppets
This album is so fucking good. This Eric Clapton guy might have a future on the guitar. Such diverse and interesting blues themes in the instrumentals. Favorite tracks: Hideaway, What'd I Say, Have You Heard
This album was really cool. Appropriately named too, with the mix of African and Latin American sounds in the musicals. Favorite track: O Filósofo
Nothing more than background music for me. Favorite track: Ce Matin-Là
Was not expecting to like this at all, but it was decent. Favorite track: Percy's Song
This album was delightful. Not at all what I was expecting to hear going into it. Favorite track: Irganda
This album fucking sucks. Leonard Cohen is impossible to listen to. The ending to Sing Another Song, Boys is, bar none, the worst attempt at music I've ever heard
Best country album of all time. Favorite track: Cocaine Blues
This was decent. Very well produced and performed, it just becomes a bit monotonous. The linkage between honky tonk and jazz is nice. Favorite track: Lonely Street
Decent album, but not very memorable or interesting beyond Good Times
The instrumentals on this album were nice. But why was every song about sex? Favorite track: Mis-Shapes
Gotta be a pretty special singer-songwriter album to keep my attention. If the rest of the album was like the ending to Slide Show, this rating would have been higher
Fun album. Favorite track: Memphis
Album starts off very strongly, but it tails off quite a bit by the end. Favorite track: My Winding Wheel
This is the best album ever written. The best song on it is Longview. Alright, time to listen to the album several hundred times
Yep. Favorite track: Don't Stop Til You Get Enough
PJ Harvey just doesn't do anything for me. At least the instrumentals were more interesting than Dry.
Idk man I just like U2. Favorite track: Elevation
Really like these guys. Favorite track: Hypnotised
This album was a pure vibe. Very, very interesting musically. Favorite track: Mentira
Instrumentals are awesome during the peaks of the album. Vocals are nothing to write home about. I wish the middle of the album was as interesting as the beginning and end. Favorite track: You Set the Scene
This album was awesome. Favorite track: This Hollywood Life
There's no chance I'd like this normally, but it was a vibe while ****
An album by Leonard Cohen that's actually decent! Favorite track: Take This Waltz
This album was fantastic. Lorde is a great performer and writer. Favorite track: Hard Feelings/Loveless
Slipknot is too far into the metal spectrum for me. Favorite track: Wait and Bleed
Beautiful album. Just beautiful. Love jazz. Favorite track: The Bottle
Album was decent. Nothing terribly interesting to me, but it was an enjoyable listen. Favorite track: Thorn of Crowns
Great band, but not that great of an album beyond I Wanna Be Your Dog honestly
Man, this was just too damn weird. There are some cool parts where the weirdness works, but far too much of it is bad weird. And the album is too long. Favorite track: Call on Me
This album was cool at moments, but it drags on for a while. Favorite track: Flying
Great album, very enjoyable from front to back. Favorite track: Re-Instated
This album didn't really move me at all sadly. Favorite track: WeFight/WeLove
This album was awesome. I'm not sure that I would categorize it as metal like they do during it, but it's great hard rock. Really fun to listen to. Favorite track: Steeler
The album is way too long, and for some reason it didn't really interest me all that much despite having many of the elements I'm usually drawn to. Favorite track: Mystery Achievement
Love you, Rod, but this wasn't your best work sadly. Favorite track: You're My Girl
Love albums like this. Brilliantly performed, brilliant soul. Favorite track: Chain Gang
So much of this album feels like background music to a video game. No thanks. Favorite track: Rough Out Here
This album largely stunk outside of the hits. Really disappointed in this. Favorite track: Give It Away
All the covers of classics on this album are significantly worse than their original versions, and the originals are nothing to write home about. I really just can't do folk music at all. Favorite track: El Preso Numero Nueve
This album started out strongly, then quickly became everything I hate about Indie music, and then ended strongly. So I guess overall I liked it. Favorite track: While You Wait For The Others
Fuck yeah. The Blues God. And he proved it here. Favorite track: Baby, Please Don't Go
I think I liked this album? Not much resonated with me early, but the album does really hit it's stride as it goes on. Favorite track: Gut of the Quantifier
The highs on this album are quite high, but the large majority of it didn't move me very much. Favorite track: Life During Wartime
Pretty good album. Hits are great, rest of tracks are decent. Favorite track: Can't You Hear Me Knocking
Pretty cool album. Was a little on the fence at the start, but it really hit its stride on the back half. Favorite track: The Day After the Revolution
Fun, poppy album. Favorite track: Girls Just Want to Have Fun
One of the most interesting albums I've ever heard. Peter Gabriel and Phil Collins together was always going to lead to something like this. Favorite track: I Know What I Like
It's like this band was created for me in a lab. Favorite track: Josie
Turns out folk music in a foreign language doesn't help
Every song sounds the exact same, and that's not a good thing here. Favorite track: Holiday in Cambodia since it's the only one I've listened to more than once
Hurt proves that the songwriting is great. But dear god the performance of all the other songs is beyond unlistenable. Pure cacophony Trent Reznor was right though: Johnny Cash did make Hurt his song
Very weird album that I strangely liked. The singing didn't do a whole lot for the album, but the instrumentation was really cool. Favorite track: Where is Yesterday
This album was alright. The Cure don't really move me too much, but this was fine to listen to. Favorite track: Fascination Street
The beats/instrumentals are really cool. The lyrics leave much to be desired though. Favorite track: tonite
Don't overthink it: legendary album from a great band. Favorite track: London Calling. Favorite track non-London Calling division: The Card Cheat
This album was pretty cool. The unique instrumentation definitely worked for me, and it didn't feel weird for the sake of being weird. Favorite track: If They Move, Kill 'Em
Very unique album, and I enjoyed it. Using an orchestra in this setting really enhances an album when used correctly, and they did. Favorite track: Someone
Absolute masterpiece of an album. Not as good as Dookie, but damn close. It's funny that this album was just fun pop music to me in 5th grade, but now I can appreciate it as one with genuinely poignant points about life. Favorite track: Give Me Novacaine / She's a Rebel
Not much for me in this album. Didn't find myself all that interested outside of here and there. Favorite track: Grounds for Divorce
Nothing interesting to me here. Favorite track: Time
Some decent moments here and there, but mostly noise. Favorite track: Let's Run
