This is a typical 70s atmospheric album that you would expect from Pink Floyd. You need to be in the mood to listen to it. I think me being in that mood will be rare.
It's not bad, just not for me on a normal listening basis.
Also, ending the album with Bike was an awful choice.

The only reason I am listening to this album is because it's on this list. I'm not sure why the creators of this list like Arcade Fire so much, but oy.
Same issues as the previous Arcade Fire album. It sounds like it's out of the 70s and trying to be Pink Floyd... and while that's fine music, I'm just not into it. I can forgive the 70s stuff because it was new at that time, but this is in the mid-00s. I don't understand why they're continuing to use this sound.

I thought I liked Lana Del Ray. Apparently, I don't. This album started off terrible. The choice to sing as if you'd lost your list was a poor one and the music went terribly with her voice. It got marginally better through the rest of the songs.. at least the music started to work with her voice. And then it got bad again at the end. Wouldn't recommend.

I can only imagine that this made it into the list of albums you must listen to before you die as an example of terrible 90s music. By the end of the album, I feel utterly trolled with how bad it is.
The guitar work around minute 3 of Stop Breathin is very nice, but that's the only redeeming quality about this album. If I could rate it negatively, I would. Unfortunately, the lowest I can give is a 1.

The lead singer is just sort of an out of tune mess and not in a way where his voice works with the music. It's actually sad because the instrumentals are actually quite nice, but the lead singer makes this unlistenable. It's like I'm watching Memento, but instead of Guy Pearce as the lead, they cast Tommy Wiseau.
I definitely understand why I've never heard of these guys though. There's something here, but that lead singer ain't it.
This only gets two stars because the music itself is so good, but that lead singer, man. Y'all needed to replace him.

Okay, halfway through the first track, I'm already tired of this album. Not looking good.
Into the second song... this album had to have been chosen out of a hat of random albums. This has no redeeming qualities as of yet.
4th song... what even is this mess?
... Just make it end.
Dudes, I promise you can make a song shorter than 5 minutes. Seriously, you can even make a song under 3 minutes. Your songs would benefit from being cut down. A lot. Like by over half. Maybe just cut half of the songs on this album too. By half, I mean all of them. Just delete the album entirely.
I made it to No Birds and have to throw in the towel. There is nothing good or redeeming about this album. If these recordings were destroyed, nothing of worth would be lost.

This album was made in 2000, but it sounds like it belongs in the 70s.
I'm not really sure why this is on the list. It's just another 70s album in the 90s. Nothing to write home about.
At least the nice thing about 70s albums in the 90s is that the formula was perfected twenty years prior, so they tend to be easier to listen to and are less offensive to the ear because they already know what doesn't work. That said, there's likely a better suited album for this list that was made in the 70s rather than this album that wasn't.

I've been purposefully not listening to this album in hopes that it would show up on this list. Fives Leaves Left is the reason I continue to listen to albums on this list. Drake's Better Layter wasn't quite as good, but I am looking forward to hearing his final album. I hope it lives up to my own personal hype.
Nick Drake was so far ahead of his time. I'm sorry that his candle was snuffed out so soon in his young life.

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
Beatles
I think you had to be there in order to understand the hype around the Beatles. This is my first listen of the album. I don't know if I've heard any of these songs before, but it's possible. It's the Beatles.
This is the absolutely worst rendition of 'With a Little Help from My Friends' that I've ever heard. They should have sold it instead of recording it themselves.
Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds is just trash.
Skipped half of Fixing a Hole because it was just boring.
That's really the issue with The Beatles. A lot of their songs are just... boring. Most of them sound empty and devoid of life and I know that's not an 'era' thing because other songs recorded during that time don't have that issue.
Within You Without You finally sounds like a song that has something going on that's aurally interesting. Too bad you had to wait until the 8th track on the album to have something worth listening to.
When I'm Sixty Four is at least catchy.
Lovely Rita brings us back to bad music. Completely skippable.
This is supposed to be one of The Beatles greatest albums, isn't it? Well, it has one song worth listening to and one song that's catchy, though I'd prefer to listen to someone else perform it.
Maybe that's the issue. Maybe they should just be songwriters shopping their music instead of performing it themselves.
Also, the choice at the last two songs to go into utter dissonance was awful and unnecessary.

Back into 70s tripe on track 4. There was an extreme penchant in the 70s to think people wanted to listen to albums full of nonsensical instrumentals. No one cares about your self-indulgent interludes. Please make your songs shorter.
To top it all off, the album ends in... whatever that was. A star for Child in Time, but really, that's the only thing worth listening to.

Sounds like your typical 60s album. I don't know why I had to listen to this over other albums. It's pretty basic.

It starts off strong, but starts sounding very 'one note.' I feel like I'm listening to the same song over and over again.

In The Ghetto through the end of the album is what's giving this 4 stars. Without those songs, it's just a meh album.

So far, it's started off awful.
At song 3.. it's still awful. And there are a lot of people who can sing like you because lots of people also sound terrible, just like you.
No, this is just terrible.
