I really enjoyed the sound and atmosphere of this album. I'm not sure what else to say about it except that it's good. My favourite songs were probably Thank You Boys and Summertime Rolls, but it's kind of hard to choose.
This album had an intriguing sound, and definitely picked up right at the end. My favourite songs were Hollow Little Reign, Sometimes I Make You Sad, and You Can See Me.
This album was better than I expected it to be. I was scared by the track lengths, but I really liked listening to this album. I do agree with others that the intro to By The Time I Get To Phoenix is longer than it needed to be. It's weird to hear his voice, because I'm so used to him voicing Chef on South Park, but I got past that pretty quickly. He definitely has a nice, soothing voice. It's perfect for this style of music. To think that this was 1969 is crazy. My favourite song was Walk On By.
Oh my gosh, what a perfect (albeit late) Christmas gift! My significant other got assigned this album a few months ago, and we've both been in love with Sparks every since! I adore Russell's voice, so much so that he's one of my favourite vocalists, and Ron's songwriting is amazing and witty, which really shines through on this record. The instrumentation on this is perfect to me. I'm sad that this doesn't have a higher rating, but I do understand that this might not sound good to some people. To me, however, this is a flawless album. It is banger after banger. It might even be my new favourite album, I love it so much. I'm also sad that Sparks doesn't have any more albums on here, but at least they have this one It's incredibly difficult to pick favourites on this album when every song is so amazing, but I'd say my favourite songs were Hasta Manana, Monsieur, Falling In Love With Myself Again, and Equator.
I had a little experience with this album, as my partner got it and really liked a few songs off of it, so I was pretty sure I was gonna like it. Even so, it blew me away. It's saying something to make an album that still sounds like nothing you've heard despite being fifty years old. This was awesome. My favourite songs were The Paw Paw Negro Blowtorch, Cindy Tells Me, and Some Of Them Are Old.
It definitely wasn't bad, but wasn't quite the type of music I prefer to listen to. Some songs went on a bit long for me, but I understand why they were as long as they were. My favourite songs were Just Like a Woman and Most Likely You Go Your Way (And I'll Go Mine).
This was really close to the kind of music I like to listen to, but none of the songs really grabbed me. Not a bad album. My favourite song was For Tomorrow.
While the music wasn't exactly what I'm into, I appreciate the topics this album tackles. I definitely understand why people would really like this album. My favourite song was Hello in There.
I really enjoyed this album's sound and tone. I liked every single song on the album. I also like the singer's voice quite a bit, but I could understand why others might not. My favourite songs were probably Me and the Major and The Stars of Track and Field.
A lot of the songs on this album sounded the same to me. Some songs had interesting parts, but the way they progressed wasn't interesting to me and was often predictable. The beginning of the album left me underwhelmed for the most part, but I think the album got a little better towards the end. My favourite songs were Northern Star and Hits so Hard.
This album got better as it went on. I liked its sound, but none of the songs jumped out at me. My favourite song was probably Lost in the Dream, but, again, nothing jumped out at me particularly.
I enjoyed this album quite a bit. My favourite song was The Kids are Alright, but I liked a lot of the songs off of this album.
I completely understand why this album is on here, but it is hard to sit down and listen to. Definitely meant to be dance music. My favourite song with Breathe.
I really enjoyed the sound and atmosphere of this album. I'm not sure what else to say about it except that it's good. My favourite songs were probably Thank You Boys and Summertime Rolls, but it's kind of hard to choose.
I liked this album a lot. I don't really know what else to say about it. It makes me excited to listen to more Stevie Wonder. My favourite songs were probably Visions and Don't You Worry 'Bout a Thing.
While this is usually compared to The Rolling Stones, I think this album manages to have a unique sound. It could definitely benefit from a remaster. My favourite song was City Lights.
This is not my cup of tea by far. I understand why it's on here, and I am glad that people can enjoy it, but it's just not for me. My favourite song was probably Hero, but I didn't like any of them very much.
Even if Morrissey isn't a great person, so I've heard, I enjoy his voice. I didn't expect to like this album quite as much as I did, since I'm not incredibly familiar with The Smiths, but I was pleasantly surprised. My favourite songs were Frankly, Mr Shankly, The Boy with the Thorn in His Side, and There is a Light that Never Goes Out, but I liked everything off the album.
This wasn't what I was expecting the album to sound like going into it, but it's okay. I like some of the themes and ideas that the songs tackle. The problem is I like these ideas more than I like the sound of the song. My favourite song was This Woman's Work. Almost every other song kind of sounded the same.
This was an interesting album, sound wise This sounds very 80's despite being released in the 70's. I like the singer's voice for the most part, but it can be a tiny bit grating at some points. My favourite songs were I Can't Do Anything, Highly Inflammable, and Warrior in Woolworths.
I don't have much to say about this album. The songs were inoffensive. Not bad, but not amazing either. My favourite song was Twice as Hard.
Definitely not the worst country music I've ever heard, but I wouldn't go out of my way to listen to it. I think the singer's voice was soothing. My favourite song was probably Pretty Polly, but nothing particularly stood out to me.
This album had an intriguing sound, and definitely picked up right at the end. My favourite songs were Hollow Little Reign, Sometimes I Make You Sad, and You Can See Me.
I enjoyed this more that I thought I was going to. I've been told Pink Floyd is just noise, but it was enjoyable noise. My favourite song was Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Parts 1-5).
I respect this album, and it does have some good songs, but I found it to be a little boring to listen to. My favourite song was Going Mobile.
When I saw this album was country, I had low expectations, but this actually wasn't bad. A lot of the songs felt very long, despite only being four minutes or so in length, but it wasn't necessarily in a bad way. My favourite song was Joy.
I did not have high hopes for this album after listening to Celebrity Skin, but I actually really enjoyed this album. It's more of the sound I was hoping for. I loved Courtney Love's vocals in this album. The lyrics and themes were pretty depressing, but that's part of what I liked about it. While it wasn't my favourite song, I loved the way that Rock Star started and ended, and it was a great way to finish the album. My favourite songs were I Think That I Would Die, Jennifer's Body, and Doll Parts.
I like other Chemical Brothers songs, so I was hoping I'd like this album more than I did. Not bad, but nothing really stuck out to me. My favourite song was One Too Many Mornings.
I liked some of the songs off of Speakerboxxx, but I didn't think much of it. Not that it was bad, just not my thing. I probably would have given Speakerboxxx a three by itself. However, I really liked The Love Below. The interludes in The Love Below usually made me laugh and we're enjoyable to listen to. My favourite songs were My Favorite Things, Prototype, and She Lives In My Lap.
I was a little scared of this album going into it, but it's actually alright. The problem is the average song length is 6 minutes, making this album over two hours long. I like a lot of the beats, but they didn't need to be six minutes long. It's a slog to get through. My favourite song was Brown Paper Bag.
I didn't expect to like this album as much as I did, but I'm a sucker for piano. The songs blend together sometimes, but I still enjoy all of them. My favourite songs were Timer and Once It Was Alright Now (Farmer Joe).
I thought I'd be giving this album a 5 going into it, but it's sadly not the case. It was still really good though. Some of the songs just didn't grab my attention. The songs that did catch my attention, however, were amazing. My favourite songs were El Condor Pasa, Cecilia, and So Long, Frank Lloyd Wright.
I liked this album. I found that his voice could be a little grating at times when it begins to sound scratchy. The actual songs and instrumentation were pretty good though. Overall, this seems to be a strong debut album. My favourite songs were Let Love Rule and Does Anybody Out There Even Care.
I think this album was pretty much what I expected. I'm glad to listen to more R.E.M. and see what their sound is like beyond the hits. I enjoyed the album. My favourite song is The One I Love.
I went into the album thinking I was gonna end up giving it a 2 or a 3, but oh my God, was I wrong. I absolutely love the sound of this album. I think having headphones on definitely helps this album. My only critic for the album would probably be that I wish the sound varied ever so slightly more from each song, but even so, I still loved this album. The 90's are truly becoming my more divisive decade. My favourite song was probably I Wear Your Ring, but it's hard to choose.
I haven't listened to almost any albums that are important to these genres because it's not my thing, so I didn't expect to like this. This was a really fun listen though. There's definitely some iconic songs on here. The guitar really shines through. It's crazy to think that this came out in 1978. My favourite songs were I'm the One and Little Dreamer.
This album was kind of boring to me. Basically every song is one note. They don't sound bad, but they don't do much to keep my attention. But this was alright. my favourite song was Song for Sharon.
I like the sound of this album a lot. Not every song did something I liked, but it was still interesting to hear. The themes in this album were definitely interesting. My favourite song was Play to Win.
I'm unsure how to feel about this album. Some of the back beats on this album are pretty good, but my issue is that I end up enjoying the back beats more than the rap. But then, on the instrumental pieces, I find myself a bit bored. I'm sure the raps are lyrically impressive, but they generally don't stand out to me. I know Sabotage is the big song off of this album, but I don't really care for it. Still, this album definitely has a lot of interesting sounds. It's rather eclectic. It makes me a bit sad that I got this Beastie Boys album before any others, because I won't get to see how their music evolved to this. I doubt it, but maybe I'd like a different album of theirs more. Maybe I just don't understand Beastie Boys. My favourite song was Get It Together.
There were elements of every song that I liked, but it wasn't exactly what I wanted. I liked the album about as much as I thought I would. Wasn't bad, but wasn't especially notable to me. My favourite song was probably Mr Clean, but no one song particularly jumped out at me.
This was certainly an interesting album. I imagine it was impressive compared to everything else at the time. I don't think it's really my thing though. My favourite song was Phaedra.
This was okay. I thought I was gonna dislike it because it's blues, but it wasn't bad. Can't remember what anything sounds like though. My favourite song was Irganda.
I feel like part of why this album means so much to people is because they grew up with it, but I didn't have that experience. I have no prior experience with this band going into this. I'm not fond of the singer's voice, which is something I rarely find myself saying. It's not bad or anything, but sometimes it takes me a little out of the music. His voice kind of reminds me of the singer of Modest Mouse, but if you took away his unique way of singing. A couple songs on this album were good. Most didn't really resonate with me. Some songs kind of feel like they're aimed at teenagers, which is probably what seems to make it a popular coming of age album. Doesn't do much for me though. Maybe I just don't get indie music from this era. By the last song, I was just waiting for the album to end. My favourite song was Neighborhood #2 (Laika).
This album kind of felt like it went in one ear and out the other. I'm sure it was really impressive at the time, considering it was 1973. But, for me, it doesn't really make an impression, except for some of the vocals and guitar. My favourite song was I Need Somebody.
I expected to like this album going into it, but I was surprised by how much I liked it. I don't have much experience with Beck's music, but I'm glad to say I enjoyed this album. The music often takes unexpected turns that leave me pleasantly surprised. My favourite song was Ramshackle.
I didn't expect much going in, but this was nice. Probably my favourite album from the 2010's that I've gotten so far. I do wish some of the songs were shorter, but it was pretty good overall. My favourite songs were Used to Be and Lover of Mine.
I was scared of this album because it was labelled country, but I ended liking it quite a bit. It starts out pretty strong. It kinda loses me towards the end of the album. I did not like Dust very much compared to everything else, and it's a bit hard to overlook that when there are only seven songs on the album and it's almost seven minutes long. I was gonna give it a 4, but I'm going to barely give it a 3 instead. My favourite song was Second Hand Woman.
I went into this with low expectations, but I liked it quite a bit more than I thought I was going to. I'm not usually too into rock and roll and rockabilly stuff, but this album manages to make it sound a little more interesting. I'm pleasantly surprised. I was gonna give this a 3, but I ended up liking it enough that I'm gonna give it a 4. My favourite songs were Alison and I'm Not Angry.
As a big Beatles fan, I actually look over Sgt. Pepper a lot because there's other albums of theirs I prefer. But upon listening to it, I realise enjoy this album quite a bit as well. I was gonna give it a 5 no matter what, but listening to it all together in one sitting made me respect it me. My favourite songs were She's Leaving Home, Within You Without You, and Lovely Rita.
This album was definitely better than the other Blur album I got. This one felt like it was leaning further away from being Britpop, and that's a good thing for me. It's funny, for someone who likes Gorillaz quite a bit, Blur doesn't seem to click with me as easily. I guess they are different, but still. Most of the songs on this album are okay, with a few duds and a few standouts. My issue is that nothing really stands out to me besides the first two or three songs. I didn't enjoy the album enough to give it a higher rating. My favourite songs were Beetlebum and Song 2.
I've heard Sultans of Swing before, but nothing else, so I was kind of interested when everything else on the record sounded like. This album was very solid. The guitar on here is enjoyable. Sometimes the things he does with his voice reminds me of Bob Dylan. I didn't like it enough to give it a 5, but it's still really good. My favourite songs were Sultans of Swings, Down to the Waterline, and Wild West End.
I like the sound of this album. I wish the songs were a bit more different from each other, or that they were shorter. They all kinda blend together for me. I'm hoping that maybe I'll like one of their other albums more. This one was still an enjoyable listen. My favourite song was Only Shallow.
The songs on this album felt a lot longer than 2-4 minutes a pop. They weren't bad, but a lot of them barely stuck out to me. Still, I really enjoyed a few of the songs on here. I'm hoping I'll like some other The Doors albums more. My favourite songs were Blue Sunday, Queen of the Highway, and Indian Summer.
I've come to really like Nirvana in the past few years. I enjoy every single song off of this album, and I knew right away it'd be getting a 5. My favourite songs are probably About A Girl, The Man Who Sold the World, and Lake of Fire, but it's really hard to choose.
I don't have much experience with U2. I like a few of their songs, but I've made no effort to seek out more U2. This was okay. Some songs did nothing for me, but there were a few songs I enjoyed. I wonder if I'll end up liking Joshua Tree more or less than this. My favourite songs were probably So Cruel and Mysterious Ways.
A lot of these songs had interesting things going on in them. I just wish some of them were shorter, or that they progressed further. Still, not bad. My favourite songs were He's the Greatest Dancer and We Are Family.
I already know I like prog rock, so I was excited for this album. It was a joy to listen to. It's nice listening to more Yes. I don't like it enough for 5 stars, but it's pretty close. My favourite song was Siberian Khatru.
I'm surprised that this one has such a low rating. I think it's pretty good. He has an impressive voice, and the orchestration is great. I am a sucker for strings. My favourite songs were Next, The Amorous Humphrey Plugg, and The Girls and The Dogs.
Adam Ant's music is pretty close to something I'd like, but there's only a few of his songs that seem to grab my interest. This album was alright, and I did like a few songs off of it, but, again, most of the songs were almost something I'd like, but not quite. Maybe I'd like another album of his more. My favourite songs were Los Rancheros and Don't Be Square (Be There).
When I first saw this album title and the cover, I didn't expect it to actually sound like shanty music, so that was a bit of a surprise. I don't think I'm as into the shanty music as some people seem to be, but it sure is unique. This album might have gotten a higher rating if it was shorter, because the novelty wears off somewhat fast and then the album just sounds boring. It's not awful, but not my things, really. I'm okay with one shanty, but not eighteen. My favourite song was I'm a Man You Don't Meet Every Day.
I don't think music like this is really for me. That being said, it was alright. There were a few pretty good songs on here. But this sound gets a bit old after 13 songs. My favourite songs were We Will Not Be Lovers and World Party.
This album was alright. Maybe a little boring, but I still enjoyed it. It's funny that I got a little sick of every song being about romance, because I usually don't mind that. Anyway, not bad. Elvis might just not be quite up my alley. My favourite song was Dirty, Dirty Feeling.
I don't have much background knowledge about this album, but it's 90's pop, so I wasn't expecting to like it very much. I wasn't wrong with that assumption. I don't understand why every song is at least 4 minutes or longer. They don't really need to be. I also don't much care for his voice. The instrumentation isn't bad, and it'd be accurate to say it's my favourite part of the album, but it still doesn't make me like the songs very much. The music isn't offensively bad or anything, but it sure did go in one ear and out the other. It's interesting that there's a cover of a Soft Cell song, but it's inferior to the original. Also, I know the Soft Cell version is already five minutes long, but there was really no reason to extend this cover to be nine minutes long. I was glad to be done with this. My favourite song was My Oh My.
This was okay. Every song was about one or two minutes longer than it needed to be. There's some good stuff on here though. I'm hoping I'll like Pyromania more when I listen to it. My favourite song is probably Love Bites.
I didn't mind this album. Unlike some people, I don't care that it's in another language and that doesn't detract from my experience with it. I hoped that I'd like this album a bit more, but the songs kinda blended together and didn't do too much to catch my attention. Also, as a side note, some of the clapping is really grating with headphones. My favourite song was probably Les Toros Avec Final, but barely any of the songs stuck out to me.
I wasn't expecting to dislike listening to this album, but I did. It picks up a bit around the second half of the album, but it's still not great. It's just slightly better than the first few songs. The songs are pretty boring and unsatisfying to listen to. They don't really change that much over the course of their duration. Some songs have something going for them, but, again, they don't develop. I actually didn't mind the singer's voice that much, but it doesn't do anything all that notable in any of these songs. My favourite song was Bring A Friend.
I knew only a few Dead Kennedys songs before I listened to this album, all of which are on here, but I enjoyed what I had heard. I wasn't sure what expect of this album, given that punk is kind of hit-or-miss with me, but I thought it was good. The album has a nice energy to it. The songs manage to differentiate themselves from one another. I also like this singer's voice quite a bit. This a very solid punk album. My favourite song was California Uber Alles.
I didn't like the first few songs, but the rest of the album is better. Still, I didn't like it enough to give it a higher rating. There were elements of something I liked in this album. I thought the little phone interludes were cute. My favourite song was Normal Girl.
This album was better than I expected it to be. I was scared by the track lengths, but I really liked listening to this album. I do agree with others that the intro to By The Time I Get To Phoenix is longer than it needed to be. It's weird to hear his voice, because I'm so used to him voicing Chef on South Park, but I got past that pretty quickly. He definitely has a nice, soothing voice. It's perfect for this style of music. To think that this was 1969 is crazy. My favourite song was Walk On By.
I have not had the best luck with electronica albums on here, so this was a much needed change of pace. The songs may be a little longer than they really need to be sometimes, but at least they're not consistently seven minutes long like other 90's electronica. The songs are enjoyable and they sound interesting, progressing just enough to keep my interest throughout the song. My favourite songs were Sexy Boy and You Make it Easy.
I liked this more than I thought I would, but it's getting a 3, as I was expecting to give it a two. I'd say I generally preferred the songs that were a bit softer. You can kind of tell that this is a historically important album just by listening to it, at least in my opinion. Still, didn't impress me enough to get a higher rating. My favourite songs were Expecting to Fly, Broken Arrow, and Hung Upside Down.
I was scared to listen to this album at first, mainly because of the cover, which is silly. I was also a little scared because of the reviews. I should have known I would like it when I saw the genres though. I didn't like it enough to give it 5 stars, but I really like it for what it is. It definitely has a distinct sound. My favourite song was Heartland.
This was pretty close to getting a 2, but it still consistently had things that I liked. It felt very long. Not much to say. Most of it wasn't my thing. My favourite song was It Doesn't Matter.
I knew this would be a 5 when I got it, as I enjoy a lot of songs off of here already. I liked the songs that I hadn't heard before a lot, which I kind of didn't expect. Great album! My favourite songs were The Girl Is Mine, Baby Be Mine, and The Lady in My Life.
I wasn't sure what to expect going into this album, but it was pretty good. Every song started in a way that had me hooked and interested in what was to come. I like his voice too. It kinda reminds me of Morten Harket's voice. It wasn't perfect, but this was a good album. My favourite song was Graham Greene.
This generator has shown me that I actually really enjoy Stevie Wonder's music. I don't know what else to say about this album other than that it's good. My favourite songs were probably Maybe Your Baby, Blame it on the Sun, and Superstition. Lot's of good stuff on here.
I don't like metal very much, but System Of A Down has always been different. I really like System Of A Down, but I hadn't heard their first album before, so I was excited to listen to it. Luckily, it still has the same quality that I like about their later music. I absolutely love the singer's voice, and that still holds true in this album. My favourite song was Suggestions.
I don't really know what to say about this album. It has a cool sound. I enjoyed it. I don't think there's really anything wrong with the album, but I don't like it enough to give it a higher rating. My favourite song is Across The Great Divide.
I wasn't expecting much going in, because I don't think I like this type of music very much, but this was a very solid album, especially for a debut album. Axl Rose's singing range is very impressive. Going from his voice in Welcome To The Jungle to his voice in It's So Easy was jarring, obviously in a good way. I know it's a very mainstream song, but I've always had a soft spot for Sweet Child O' Mine. But, overall, solid album. My favourite songs were It's So Easy and Sweet Child O' Mine.
The first four songs were really good and caught me by surprise. The rest of the album was alright, but not as good as these beginning songs. Still, I liked this album more than I thought I might. My favourite songs were Sunshine Of Your Love, Strange Brew, and World of Pain.
This album was absolutely awful to get through. Everything was boring. When a song did have potential, it was ruined because the song went on for five minutes without changing. I know people like Bitter Sweet Symphony, but I find it grating. Not a fun use of 75 minutes of my life. I'm glad people can enjoy this, but I don't understand. My favourite song was Sonnet.
I've wanted to listen to Elliott Smith's music for a while now, so I was excited when I got this album. I expected to like it, and I definitely did. I like the overall feeling and tone of this album. My favourite song was Between the Bars.
This isn't a very interesting album to me. I found the first and last song to be particularly boring. I don't mind the music, but it's just not for me. My favourite song was Ballede de Melody Nelson.
I already liked Take Me Out, but I wasn't sure if I'd like everything else when I got this album. The first few songs had me hesitant, but I started really enjoying this album by the time I got to the end. I didn't love everything, but there were quite a few great songs on here. My favourite songs were probably Take Me Out, The Dark of the Matinee, and Darts of Pleasure, but it was surprisingly hard to choose.
It is criminal that this album is not on any streaming services. This is an awesome album. I'd love to have it on vinyl. I was jamming the entire time. I went into this album expecting to give it a 4 because of its genres, but came out eager to give it a 5. My favourite songs were Rivers of My Fathers, A Very Precious Time, and The Bottle.
I don't think I'll like Springsteen's other albums very much if this is his most accessible one. I didn't think anything of more than half the songs on this album. His voice can be a little grating, especially in Born in the U.S.A. I didn't expect to like this album much, but there were actually a few songs on here that I liked. My favourite song was Cover Me.
I had heard Rock Lobster before, as I'm sure everyone has, but I never thought too much of it. Upon relistening to it, I loved it. This album is a ton of fun. I found that I was bopping my head and tapping my foot for the whole thing. I totally get why a lot of people give this album a low score, because it has a pretty unique sound, especially in the vocals. I, personally, love the unique sound this album brings. I'm a sucker for people with distinctive singing voices like this. I didn't expect to be giving this album such a high score, but here we are. My favourite songs were Dance This Mess Around and Rock Lobster.
When I listened to the first few songs, I was worried this album might be a bit boring. The second half of the album is pretty great though. The instrumentation really comes through in this half, and it does more interesting things. I liked everything on this second half. Also, it's insane that The Beach Boys were already on their eighth studio album by 1965, when their debut was only in 1962. My favourite songs were Please Let Me Wonder and She Knows Me Too Well.
I had just gotten another Bruce Springsteen album a few days before this one. I thought that one was okay, but most of it wasn't my thing, so when I got this, I was not excited. I was right to not be excited, because I very much disliked listening to this. The whole time I was listening, I was waiting for it to be over. It made me envy the people who are okay rating an album after listening to two or three songs. This album kind of all sounds the same, and you pretty much know what to expect from the album after the first song. A few songs have a little bit of a different sound, but that doesn't make up for the sound of the rest of the album. The worst part was that this album is that it's 72 minutes long. I was excited that it was finally over. I'm glad some people can enjoy this music and the meaning behind the lyrics, even if I can't. I just don't get it. I guess my favourite song was Worlds Apart, but I don't really want to listen to anything from this album again.
This was actually a bit better than I was expecting. Not amazing, but better than a lot of the other electronica albums I have listened to. The songs actually manage to be interesting and aren't way too long. My favourite songs were Rough Out Here, Hold On To Me, and Free My Mind.
This album has quite a few good songs on it and it's a solid album all together. I'm a sucker for music like this, and I do enjoy her voice. My favourite songs were So Far Away, Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow? and It's Too Late.
This was alright. I actually didn't mind listening to this, despite me not having a good track record with electronica on this website. There's just something about it that sounds a little different to me. The intro was interesting. Some of the songs on here could probably stand to be shorter though. My favourite song was Planet of the Shapes.
I've heard of the Kinks before, but I haven't gone out of my way to listen to any of their music. I wasn't sure what to expect. I was surprised by how much I liked this album. I'm gonna be looking forward to the other Kinks albums on this list now. My favourite songs were She's Bought a Hat Like Princess Marina, Australia, and Drivin'.
I know that this isn't anything special for a lot of people, but I loved this. I've heard a few Pet Shop Boys songs before and I really like those, so I was excited for this album. Rightly so, apparently, because I'm giving this album a high rating. It may be generic or cheesy to some, but it's very up my alley. I'm not gonna act like it's anything more than what it is. Still, it's getting a 5. I like his voice; it's kind of soft. It can be a little whiny at points, but I don't really mind that here. It's pretty hard to pick favourite songs, but I believe my favourite songs are Liberation, Can You Forgive Her?, and Young Offender.
I had heard a couple songs off of the album before, so I was interested to see what else this album had on it. I was surprised that most of the songs did not have vocals, as most of the songs I knew did have vocals. Still, it was pretty good. My favourite song was DVNO.
I wasn't sure what to expect. This was okay. Not a ton stuck out to me from this album. I wonder if I'd like some of Mike Patton's other projects more. This wasn't bad, but, again, didn't stand out to me much. My favourite songs were Falling to Pieces and Edge of the World.
I've seen people say that you either love or hate Tom Waits' music, but I'm pretty in the middle, at least regarding this album. I know one or two Tom Waits songs, but this is my first time listening to an album of his. It was nice. I'd say that a lot of the songs could stand to be shorter, but that is the curse of singer-songwriter albums; you write so many verses in an attempt to tell a story that the song has to be at least four and a half minutes long, minimum. Still, even if a lot of them were long, the songs weren't bad. There are some very interesting sounds present in these songs. Anyway, this serves as an interesting entry point into his music. I hope I enjoy some of his other albums even more. My favourite songs were Dirt In The Ground and I Don't Want To Grow Up.
This is about what I expected the album to be like. The songs blend together for me, but they still sound good. I don't really have much to say about it. My favourite song was probably Tradition.
When I saw that this album was shoegaze, I got excited. But I was kind of disappointed when I was listening to it. Nothing really stuck out to me, and I didn't get the same feeling I get from other shoegaze albums on this list. It's not bad, but not what I was hoping for. My favourite song was probably Paralyzed.
This was unremarkable. I forgot what every song sounded like after it was over. Not really sure why it's on the list. Wasn't awful, but wasn't really good either. My favourite song was Rob's Theme I guess, but nothing really stood out.
I thought I would end up liking this album more, as I've had some interest in listening to Radiohead for a long time, but I feel that I'm missing something here. Maybe I'd like their older albums more than this one. I think it picked up with the last five or so songs, but I was kind of bored before that. Nothing really grabbed my attention. My favourite songs were 2 + 2 = 5 and A Punch Up At a Wedding.
I thought the first few songs were a bit boring and I was worried I'd like this less than the Elvis Costello album I reviewed. But, after those songs, the album picks up. It was good overall. Like my last album by him, it just barely gets a 4. My favourite songs were Busy Bodies and Sunday's Best.
This album was awesome! I'm sad that it's not on my streaming service. When I saw that this was samba and jazz, I knew I was gonna end up liking it. My favourite songs were Aprendendo a Jogar, O Medo de Amar é o Medo de Ser Livre, and Calcanhar de Aquiles.
I was almost 100% sure this was getting a one the moment I saw it. I already knew what it was, and I didn't think it would come for me so soon. This is the kind of music that makes me feel like I'm dying. There were multiple times I thought my smoke alarm was going off during this album, but no, that was just how the song sounded. I could not bare to listen to this with headphones. It did help to drown out the other people in my house though, and I appreciate that. I understand how this was influential for industrial music, but I find that I'm not the biggest fan of industrial music. I hope these guys had a lot of fun making this album, because it sounds like they did. My favourite songs were Vorm Krieg and Rohrbombe.
Before this, I only knew a few of the famous Rage Against The Machine songs. This album was amazing. The only reason I can't bring myself to give it a 5 is because it doesn't change much tone-wise throughout the album; the songs begin to blend together. Even so, this was great, and I think it's perfect for what it is. The music is awesome, and I love the guitar on this album. The lyrics are very potent and they are still rather relevant today. I also enjoyed the vocal performance on this album. My favourite songs were probably Killing In The Name, Fistful of Steel, and Township Rebellion.
This sure was a non-stop erotic cabaret. I didn't expect it to be so erotic in nature, but it's right there in the name, so that's on me. But yeah, this album was pretty good. It definitely took some risks. Naming a song "Sex Dwarf", for instance, is a risk. Still, I enjoyed it. The music was solid throughout; there wasn't really a lull. None of songs were absolutely amazing besides maybe Tainted Love, so I can't give a higher score, but still good. My favourite song was Tainted Love.
There was definitely an energy to this album. Besides that though, none of the songs especially stood out to me. There are a few songs I like in here, but there's better versions of them out there that I prefer. Good performance, but it's not getting any higher than a 3. My favourite song was probably Good Golly, Miss Molly.
I was pretty confused about what this was when I first got it, but I ended up liking it a lot. As I've said before, I like orchestral music, so this album is pretty up my alley. It's an odd one, but I like that. My favourite songs were Zopf: From The Colonies, Zopf: Coronation, and The Sound of Someone You Love Who's Going Away and It Doesn't Matter.
Yay, another Radiohead album less than a week after my first one. I definitely liked this one more than my previous one, Hail to the Thief. The first three songs didn't do much for me, but it was pretty good after that. I'm hoping I'll like that other Radiohead albums on this list even more. My favourite songs were Knives Out and Morning Bell/Amnesiac.
This album was pretty good. I'm glad it's on here, because I've wanted to listen to it. I wish some of the songs were a bit shorter or that they'd change up a little more, but it was still nice. I'm surprised this album has such a low rating. My favourite songs were Quiet Life, Halloween, and A Foreign Place.
I've never been a huge fan of Metallica, but I've also never gone out of my way to listen to any of their music. As expected, there is some pretty impressive guitar on this album. I wish a few of the songs sounded a bit more varied. I just can't bring myself to give it a 4. Even so, there was some enjoyable music on this record. My favourite song was Master of Puppets.
I've had a vague interest in T. Rex for a while now, so I'm happy to finally give an album of theirs a listen. I expected to like it, and I did. I was jamming for most of it. I don't like it enough to give it a 5, but it's still a really good album. I wonder if I'd like their other albums. My favourite song was Planet Queen.
I definitely respect what this did for music, and the fact that this is 1969 is amazing. It's a bit too bluesy for me, and many of the songs are a bit too long. Still, there's some jams on this album. It starts out very strong. Unlike some people, I don't really mind Robert Plant's voice. This record just didn't truly connect with me, except for a few songs. Maybe I'll like some of their other albums on here more. My favourite songs were Babe I'm Gonna Leave You and Dazed and Confused.
I was so excited to see that I finally got this album. I love Rush, but I somehow haven't sat down and listened to this album before. It was great. I know some people are bothered by it, but I love Geddy Lee's voice. I adore prog rock, so I'm excited to see what other prog albums are on this list. I'm sad that there isn't more Rush on this list than just the two albums, but I understand why. My favourite songs are YYZ and Limelight.
I feel bad giving this a two, but all the songs blended together and it got boring. Despite being very short, each song didn't feel like two minutes. Maybe I'd like a different Ramones album more. My favourite song was Blitzkrieg Bop.
I was waiting for this album to be over for most of its run time. I felt like blowing my brains out while listening to this. That feeling wasn't really related to the fact that I was listening to this album, but it sure didn't help. It wasn't bad, but it was boring. The first two songs were okay, but there's not much going on after that. My favourite song was Earlybird.
Most of these songs felt like I was listening to the post-punk equivalent of a hippie jam band. I don't dislike the sounds going on, but it all felt rather aimless. If there were choruses, I rarely ever picked up on them. I usually like weird music like this, but there wasn't much for me to latch onto. Any time a song started with something promising, it was lost rather quickly. It felt very long too. So far, I've really liked the post-punk albums I've gotten, but this album is an outlier. I'm glad some people enjoy this, but I clearly don't get it. My favourite song was Petty (thief) Lout.
Oh boy, a 72 minute Bob Dylan album from 1997. Wasn't initially thrilled to listened to this one, mostly because of the length. I saw some people mentioning that his voice was more gravelly, but wow, I was not expecting it to sound quite like it does. If I didn't already know it was Bob Dylan, I don't know that I'd be able to guess that it's him. I kind of prefer his younger voice, oddly enough. I know some of the songs deal with darker topics, but I feel that sometimes the blues-y sound doesn't accompany that very well. Ending with a 17 minute song is a kicker... It perfectly shows my problem with some of the singer-songwriter genre: you write so many words and not enough music, resulting in a long, repetitive song. It was driving me insane. Probably would have given it a 3 if the album was shorter. My favourite song was Cold Irons Bound.
I like what I've heard of Queens of The Stone Age and I also like Josh Homme's performance on Them Crooked Vultures' only album, so I expected to like this album, but it was kind of boring. Every song felt longer than it actually was. Maybe if this was a different Queens of the Stone Age album, I'd like it more. I liked the idea behind You Can't Quit Me Baby, but it's too long. My favourite song is You Would Know.
I loved Heaven or Las Vegas when this generator assigned it to me, so I was pretty excited for this album. It's crazy to me that they had this sound in 1984. I'm so used to shoegaze being an early 90's thing. Not every song is something catches my attention, and it's not as good as Heaven or Las Vegas, but it's still solid. The singer's voice really fits for this type of music. I wonder if I'd like other albums from this band. My favourite songs were Lorelie and Pandora (For Cindy).
This is more like what I want from modern music on this list. It's not super pop-y, and I really enjoy that. Plus, I love the electronic and soul influences. I wish the songs differed a little more, but this was still a cool listen. The interludes were interesting. I may be learning that I like interludes in albums. My favourite song was Where Do We Go.
This sure was something. Very experimental. I've had an interest in The Velvet Underground, so it was nice listening to this. Not what I expected, but decent. I still enjoy John Cale's voice quite a bit. The Gift was a nice little story. I could definitely understand why people wouldn't like this, as sometimes it became a bit much for me. But, I liked enough about it to give it a 3. My favourite song was Lady Godiva's Operation.
I know a lot of people prefer their later stuff, but I love basically every Beatles album. This is the stuff I grew up on. I probably know every single lyric in this album. I don't even have listen to the album to know I'm giving it a 5 star, but I gave it another listen for fun. I must say, it was a very fun record to revisit. There's a nice energy to it. My favourite songs are probably I'll Be Back, I'm Happy Just To Dance With You, and If I Fell, but it's hard to pick favourites.
It's jazz and it's samba. Of course it's getting a high rating from me. I really enjoyed it, but I didn't love it enough to give it a five. I kinda wish it had more energy. Still, a fun and lovely listen. Pretty solid album. My favourite song was E Luxo So.
Okay, first off, almost every review for this album is from December, usually on or after the 25th. The generator must save this as a Christmas gift every year or something, which would make sense. Fine by me! I don't hate Christmas music like some people do. I like some of it very much. This album was alright. Didn't particularly stand out to me, but I liked it. It's nice. It had a few of my favourite Christmas songs on it, and a couple that I hadn't ever heard before. My favourite songs were Santa Claus is Coming to Town, Here Comes Santa Claus, and Sleigh Ride.
I went in figuring I would like this album, and I did. I'm realising that I like Paul Simon's voice. I enjoyed myself throughout the album. It wasn't amazing or anything, but it had an energy that I liked. Still very solid. There was also a few interesting themes throughout the album. I wonder If I'll like other albums of his. My favourite songs were You Can Call Me Al and Gumboots.
Oh my gosh, what a perfect (albeit late) Christmas gift! My significant other got assigned this album a few months ago, and we've both been in love with Sparks every since! I adore Russell's voice, so much so that he's one of my favourite vocalists, and Ron's songwriting is amazing and witty, which really shines through on this record. The instrumentation on this is perfect to me. I'm sad that this doesn't have a higher rating, but I do understand that this might not sound good to some people. To me, however, this is a flawless album. It is banger after banger. It might even be my new favourite album, I love it so much. I'm also sad that Sparks doesn't have any more albums on here, but at least they have this one It's incredibly difficult to pick favourites on this album when every song is so amazing, but I'd say my favourite songs were Hasta Manana, Monsieur, Falling In Love With Myself Again, and Equator.
There's obviously talent here, but this was kinda long and kinda boring to listen to for me. I mean, the average song length is, like, ten minutes and the shortest song on here is seven minutes long. There is a 16 minute song on here that is just a drum solo, which I think is a bonus track, but I listened to it, so I'm gonna complain about it. Not really my thing, but I respect it. Kind of shocking that I didn't like it that much, considering it's funk and soul, but there wasn't much energy in this music, so I guess it didn't connect with me. My favourite song was Ye Ye De Smell.
This was kind of boring for me. It wasn't bad, but I was waiting for it to end the whole time. It was a bit too folky for my tastes. Don't really know what else to say. My favourite song was Matty Groves.
Wow, what a fun first Bowie album for this generator to assign me. Hey, I'm just glad it finally gave me one. I really like the jazzy influences happening in this album. It sure is depressing though. Still, a lot of the music was pretty good. This is a fitting final album. My favourite songs were Blackstar, I Can't Give Everything Away, and Dollar Days.
What can I say? I like jazz. This was rather enjoyable, which is about what I expected myself to think. It's perfect to just sit back, close your eyes, and listen to. My favourite songs were Track B - Duete Solo Dancers and Track C - Group Dancers.
I already knew Kool Thing, so I was vaguely excited for this album. It was good. I like both of the vocalists, but especially the female vocalist. Their voices really fit this type of music. I preferred the songs that didn't have long instrumental breaks, but those weren't bad either. My favourite songs were Kool Thing, My Friend Goo, and Disappearer.
I didn't really know what to expect from this. I liked the album cover, and I had seen it before at a few record stores, but didn't buy it. I really wish I had bought a copy though, because this album is awesome. It has a nice feeling and atmosphere to it that's hard to explain. I like the singer's performance. I'm a sucker for voices like his. It sort of reminds me of Jack White's voice. I was initially scared of the run time of the titular Marquee Moon, but I enjoyed every second of that ten minutes. This is an easy five stars for me. My favourite songs were Venus, Marquee Moon, and Torn Curtain.
This was a really good album! I love jazz, obviously, and this was some energetic jazz. You can't listen to this album without getting the urge to dance, or at least move your body in some way. My favourite song was Kenya, but all the songs were all pretty good.
I had a little experience with this album, as my partner got it and really liked a few songs off of it, so I was pretty sure I was gonna like it. Even so, it blew me away. It's saying something to make an album that still sounds like nothing you've heard despite being fifty years old. This was awesome. My favourite songs were The Paw Paw Negro Blowtorch, Cindy Tells Me, and Some Of Them Are Old.
My man is out here killing everyone. I knew Big Iron already, but this album was about what I expected. It was alright. If you know what one song off of this album sounds like, you can probably guess what everything else sounds like. Still, it's decent. My favourite song was Big Iron.
I think this album really picked towards the end of the album, but it was good overall. I don't think I like this album as much as Arthur, but it's a pretty close competition. I guess this just solidifies that I like the Kinks, and I'm excited for their other albums on the list. My favourite songs were probably Sitting By the Riverside, People Take Pictures of Each Other, and Wicked Annabella, but it's hard to choose.
