Merriweather Post Pavilion
Animal CollectiveThere certainly is creativity here, it just fails to reach me
There certainly is creativity here, it just fails to reach me
This is too noisy and weird even for me
Not his best work, still some very good tracks on here, would give it a 3.5/5 if I could
An interesting mix of styles but falls flat in the middle, yet I bump it up to a 3 instead of going down to a 2
There is no world where you can convince me this album needs to be on this list
Got a rolling stones vibe
Not an Elvis fan
Jazz. Need to be in the right mood and setting for it.
I like The Smiths :)
2.5 would be more accurate, just average for me
Not my cup of tea
Depeche Mode vibes
Never heard of them before, but theyβre basically a poor manβs version of βif the rolling stones went down the punk pathβ
Never heard of them and didnβt particularly like them
Unexpected music popping up here
Decades is the reason I bumped it up to a 4, otherwise would be a 3 for me
Country music is a no no for me
Joyful, high-tempo punk rock
Sounds very generic to me
Donβt think I would listen to this album again, as unique as it is
Easy 5
Bongos - check
This album was very popular growing up, sure, but even back then I wasnβt a fan of it
Very meh r&b
Enjoyable 90s rap
Average hard rock band. Not a bad album, but nothing special
Randy Newman is overrated imho. He has a few good songs that make him stand out, but other than that itβs nothing special
A worse version of the Beatles
Great album, Disarm is one of my favorite songs
Objectively probably a 3, but nostalgia hits like a mfer
David Bowie, a man ahead of his time
Pretty decent album to have on in the car when while youβre driving around town
Some very enjoyable indie rock
Can see why itβs on the list, just nothing special for me
Not bad music just not my cup of tea
Some good progressive rock
Folk rock, not a fan
Not as bad as I thought it would be, but still donβt see myself going back to it in the future
Never heard of them, doubt Iβll remember them
First time I was introduced to Jane Weaver, started so-so but βDid you see butterflies?β was meh but picked it up with βModern Kosmologyβ
Never was a big fan of The Beach Boys, and it doesnβt help that this isnβt one of their better albums
Weird vibes of funk-jazz-soul music? Just not for me
This is not an objective review as I really like Depeche Mode
I know this is a well regarded album but for me it just feels so ordinary
I like Black Sabbath but I donβt consider this their best album
Good music for when youβre wandering around the Mojave
I am sorry but I just canβt deal with country music
Atmospheric indie pop with a nice vibe to it
Would rate it 2.5 if I could. Not bad, just average
Groovy, βlightβ music, but would like it to be more upbeat, would rate 2.5 if I could
Very chill pop rock, might work well as background music
Very βmehβ album for me, nothing memorable about it
Not my cup of tea
Nothing special about it, but not too bad, another album that I would rate 2.5 if I could
This kind of soul/funk music is more to my liking than other of itβs genre
I just could not engage with this album
Some good songs mixed in with some not so good ones
Some pretty good upbeat new wave music
Never heard of this band/album before and nothing about it feels memorable or distinctive
Not their best work, but still good by Daft Punk standards.
I am very picky when it comes to metal, and this doesnβt do it for me
They have better stuff, which is why it only seems right to rate this a 4 and keep the 5 for their best work
I like electronic music but this wasnβt it
Very atmospheric music, great voice, bumped it up to a 4 because of βYou Want It Darkerβ
Some pretty average R&B imo, 2.5 would be more accurate
Pretty good album, but I feel like KISS gets overrated a lot
Feels generic, cheesy lyrics, nothing memorable about this album
They have better stuff but this album isnβt too bad either
Kind of repetitive, but also kind of different, unfortunately it stands out in a not so good way
Decent music and lyrics even now, but back then it was something else, nostalgia bumps it up one point
Pretty good, decent music that I didnβt mind listening too, will I come back to it? Hard to say
So many classics on this album itβs ridiculous
Good, enjoyable album with lots of replayability potential
I only really knew βCarsβ before this, the album is kind of more of the same, which is not necessarily a bad thing
Pretty decent nostalgic dance music
Good singer, nice use of the instruments but the fact that itβs live detracts a bit from the score for me
Thereβs no βYou Want It Darkerβ to bump it up this time, still would rate 2.5 if I could
I spent half the album waiting for it to actually start, it never does, so I just gave up
This is a really hit or miss album, unfortunately itβs a miss for me
The Boatman's Call is a solid album that showcases Cave's songwriting and vocal skills. While it may not be as accessible or upbeat as some of his other work, it is a powerful and poignant exploration of love and loss that fans of his music will appreciate.
This is a 2 because itβs live, I am sorry but imho there shouldnβt be any live albums on here
This album just doesnβt seem to have the same energy or creativity as it leads you on to think at times with some of itβs songs, which are rather the exception to on otherwise just βloudβ album
Alice Copper did not age very well truth being told, and yet I still found some enjoyment in this album.
Objectively speaking, this period of the 80s wasnβt the best time for hard rock, and bon jovi proves that. That being said, I do get a bit of enjoyment out of listening to him, so the 3/5 is just personal preference
Gets repetitive too quickly
Feel about conflicted about the rating, another one of those where I wish for a 2.5, but since I did get some enjoyment out of it, Iβll bump it up to a 3
One of the best albums out there
The album features a mix of upbeat and introspective tracks, and while some may not hit as hard as others, there are still a couple of standout moments.
Great renditions of classic songs
Feels too much like background music
Fun stuff, did not expect it to be this enjoyable
This is what βswampβ rock is all about
The Passenger is such a ridiculously good song
Not really a fan of these jazzy albums, and they seem quite popular
This still holds up all this time later. Not as good as Back in Black though
Did not age well
Too much mediocre βelectronicaβ here :(
Whoever said Air is a better version of Daft Punk has been of their meds. Theyβre not terrible, but in no way should they be compared to Daft Punk just because they have βelectronicaβ vibes
Thrash metal is too metal for me
I feel like I should like this album more, but I guess itβs just not my thing
There certainly is creativity here, it just fails to reach me
This always felt experimental by them
Not his best work, still some very good tracks on here, would give it a 3.5/5 if I could
Would this album have been as popular if it werenβt written by a member of The Beatles?
Hard to hate this classic, very representative of itβs time
I have a similar relationship with Muse that I have with Red Hot Chili Peppers, I like them, but I havenβt listened to them often, although that might be the reason for me liking them, the lack of oversaturation that a lot of people seem to be using as a reason for why these bands suck
Very weird to see this on here as itβs not even a soundtrack, itβs a movie score with a lot of awkward, silent pauses
Pretty average album, bumped it up to 3 for nostalgic reasons truth be told
Did not expect to rate it this high coming into it, but it really is a beautiful album that I enjoyed listening to
This album tricks you into thinking it might be decent with the first song, donβt be fooled.
I am not a fan of punk rock, but The Clash hits different
Just your average new wave-punk-rock album really
Very meh and slow
Nice, chill background music, perfect for a smokers lounge
As many albums and artists I try, country still remains a βnoβ for me
Having never listened to this album, this was exactly what I was expecting when I read βpop album with Kate Bush influenceβ
Never thought Iβd rate something other than country music a 1
I am not a big Black Sabbath fan but they have some really great albums that I keep going back to, this being one of them
Would objectively give it a 4, but the timeless classics βBaba OβRileyβ and βBehind Blue Eyesβ made me realize that I have to bump this up to a 5
Sounds like your usual 60s folk/pop music, nothing memorable about it for me
Some good blues right here, removing 1 point because of the βlivesβ which shouldnβt be on an album imo
This is what electronic music is all about. I got a lot of enjoyment out of this album, standout track - Frontier Psychiatrist
Great album from a legendary band, always a joy to listen to their music
I know a lot of people enjoy his music, but itβs just not for me
I donβt normally enjoy this kind of music, but Bobby just hits different for some reason
Not going to lie, the album is really boring at times, then again, great album for listening in a bar somewhere while enjoying a glass of whiskey
Slayer metal is too metal for me
This album is not what I expected, which was some chill cafe music, instead this feels like something you would listen when the world ends
Did not age well unfortunately, feels bland by todayβs standards
Old and not gold. Sounds like your typical 50-60s american music that you will not care about unless you were born in the US
Funky soul music, quite the combination now that I think about it. Did I like it? Not really
Without a doubt a great and memorable album. I am not much of a Beatles fan though, which is why I give it 4/5
Not much of a jazz fan so I guess I canβt appreciate the genius of Ray Charles
I donβt know if theyβre the first ones that blended rap with rock, Iβm assuming theyβre not, but theyβre the ones that stand out for me
Honestly the Ace of Spades was the only Motorhead song I knew before this album, canβt exactly say I missed much. Itβs not bad, just average for me, and with all average albums I have to decide between 2 or 3.
βGroovyβ I guess, really wish for a 2.5 score
I feel like this album tries to do too much and therefore has no identity. You have country music at the beginning, then some rock, and then a mix between the two with some pop on top?
Even for punk rock this feels like a mess
Your typical loud, 80s grunge
Some pretty decent chill rock, enjoyable to listen to on a road trip
Ugh
High energy and has a good vibe to it, also feels like it has more βorderβ to it than your typical punk rock album
Always felt like Kate Bush was too overrated, still think that. That being said, this isnβt a bad album, just nog as great imo as others make it out to be
Smooth rhymes, smooth rhythm, this has aged rather well
A bit too much of everything, unfortunately succeeded only at being rather average. I liked βDarkness Darknessβ, but it being at the beginning makes you expect something that you donβt get from the rest of the album
Vibes of a poor mansβs Metallica
So youβve got βHeads will rollβ here that I feel like everyone knows, and is pretty decent. As for the rest of the album, just your usual loud punk rock that Iβm not really a fan of
Art rock, opera rock, not sure what correctly to call it, but itβs definitely a great album
Had 0 expectations, thought itβs yet another band Iβve never heard of with yet another average album. Completely wrong of course. Great album. 4/5
Fun, synthy, 80βs new wave music
This is a band I enjoy and occasionally listen to, so itβs an easy 4/5 for me
Is this another artist that people get nostalgic about hence heβs rated highly?
Meh
Was not expecting to come across DnB here. Anyway, not really a fan
I am not a fan of blues apparently, at least not of Muddy Waters
Bland, repetitive, uninteresting, unappealing, I could go on
Not a big U2 fan, but I did enjoy listening to this album
Blondie's "Parallel Lines" is a classic rock/pop album that shares similarities with other music of the era. While influential, some tracks lack energy, and the sound hasn't aged well.
I donβt get why itβs labeled as βrockβ, maybe seeing that made me have different expectations of it, instead just left me feeling slightly confused
Yup, this is the album that has that one Blur song that everyone knows. Itβs also got a bunch of other good songs though. Would rate it 3.5 if I could, because itβs definitely better than other albums I rated a 3/5 (not reaching a 4 though)
A bit confused as to why itβs on this list tbh
Expected it to be more rock than folk, itβs not
I meanβ¦ itβs alrightβ¦
Was going to rate it a 1 initially, but it actually, surprisingly, gets a bit better as you keep listening to it
I am actually surprised this album has such high ratings⦠everyone has a different ear for music I guess
Thereβs nothing special here, just another typical album that youβd hear in the 60s
Yet another noisy album with nothing else to show for itself other than being loud
Itβs very βbackgroundishβ, wouldnβt mind listening to it again, but I doubt Iβll seek it out
Nah
Upbeat, dancey, shades of Depeche Mode? Overall pretty enjoyable, just nothing to blow you away
Better than other country albums Iβve come across here so this one gets bumped up to a 2, not the usual 1
Feels like some generic punk rock band from the lower end of the spectrum
Some pretty decent dark and dreamy trip hop
Felt kind of slow and boring, just not for me I guess
Never heard of Hole before, and I donβt particularly like grunge but this album was actually pretty decent
Itβs kinda hard to judge, on the one hand, kinda meh, on the other, itβs a raw, blue-ish rock album from 67. I bet it sounded sick when it came out then
The late 60s, early 70s have such a unique sound to them you can pick them out very easily, and Jefferson Airplane is one of the reasons for that
Well this is an odd one, very dreamy to say the least
The hype when it came out was ridiculous, listening to it nowβ¦ itβs goodβ¦ just feels kinda repetitive a bit
Another one of those βyou had to be thereβ albums
A few tracks here and there are fine for me, but a whole album is too much
A better version of the beatles? And I donβt even rate the beatles that high
This album showcases his immense talent and innovation. While it contains some standout tracks and unforgettable moments, the overall experience falls short in certain areas.
This is everything that rock and roll was about in the 70s
Feels underwhelming when compared to their other stuff
Too much shouting
Surprisingly fun, and you can tell that theyβre all actually very skilled
Not exactly βLet it Bleedβ levels of greatness but still very good. Gets bumped up to a 4 thanks to a certain song
Background music to enjoy a drink more than anything really
Has a very soul-ish feel to it, whether that makes it good or bad you decide
Too folk-ish for my liking
Has a few good jams worth listening too, all in all not too bad
I really tried, but I just couldnβt get into it
Firstly, jazz is not exactly my cup of tea, and even then, this is a live session which I am also not a fan of
Kate Bush has to be one of the most overrated artists ever, she has maybe 2 good songs?
An interesting mix of styles but falls flat in the middle, yet I bump it up to a 3 instead of going down to a 2
It doesnβt get any better than this
This album grew on me the further it went
Iβll be honest, never heard of Jeru before this, maybe if I did Iβd rate the album higher, but judging it by todayβs standards it sounds very βregularβ
Honestly sounds very generic, just in french
For a debut album itβs not that bad, but of course you canβt help but compare it to their best album, and in that regard it comes up lacking
Meh
I actually bumped it up to a 4, subjectively, because of the two iconic songs on this album that are actually very good
Very neutral, enjoyable background music. Works great while youβre doing something else
It might actually be better than my 2, but itβs a live session, and that always muddies my listening experience
This is probably their weakest (if not the weakest) album. That being said, a weak album for Iron Maiden is still out of reach for a lot of bands trying to copy them
Canβt believe this album has more than 30 years now. Just as good as the day it came out.
Feels generic, but has some standout tracks, making it an above average album for me
Yet another example of an album that has not aged well
Just a worse version of The Cure
Electronic music pioneers delivering mind-blowing beats and fearless experimentation. An easy 5/5
Food for thought, is this the inspiration behind pop punk?
The problem with Bjorkβs music for me is that it gets old very fast, you listen to a few songs and then it feels like itβs the same with minor differences
Not exactly something I would listen to normally, but it did catch me by surprise in a good way. Pretty upbeat and groovy, although a bit too much on the pop side. Missing a bit for a 4/5, but itβs a solid 3.5/5 (that I wish I could rate)
Itβs pretty bad unfortunately, this is a really hard one to recommend
Iβm all for getting out of your comfort zone and listening to something you normally wouldnβt butβ¦ not this
Too weird even for me
I get why itβs on the list and objectively it has to be, but subjectivelyβ¦ has there ever been a band as overhyped as the beatles?
Too many weird random noises
One or two instrumental songs is ok for me, but a whole album is way too much. That being said, I canβt believe how many recognizable tracks are on here.
Psychedelic background musicβ¦ although itβs got some stand out moments that makes it passable
If only Immigrant Song was last, would be a great way to end the album, rather than raise your expectations from the start and fall short the rest of the way
βWe Are Youngβ is alrightβ¦ but apart from thatβ¦ meh
Very laid-back indie rock (?), although the sameness of the vocals and guitar can get a bit repetitive, I donβt particularly mind it though
Nothing stands out here, nothing is memorable, listened to it once and I doubt Iβll come back to it again
Ok-ish background music
Listening to this as a teenager back in the 70s you probably thought it was the shit, but by todayβs standards, nothing particularly great about this album
Youβve got βBroken Skinβ and βNostalgiaβ which are pretty decent, and thereβs also βPilgrimβ which is actually good. Everything else though? Really, really bad, the difference is so big itβs impressive really
Mostly good songs even if a bit on the melodic and slow side, but I guess that was the intention all along
I honestly tried
Everyone knows (you might not know the name, but youβve heard it for sure) Cherry-coloured Funk for a reason, itβs that good. As for the rest of the album, after setting the bar that high right from the startβ¦ itβs alright I guess
Itβs a good album that goes well even today, my only gripe with it is that it gets too slow at times
You either like it or you donβt. With Depeche Mode thereβs no in-between
Very average sounding late 70s / early 80s music, but gets bumped up to a 3 because itβs Paul Simon
If you didnβt like this one, donβt give up on Aphex Twin, he actually has better stuff. I donβt like this album particularly much myself
Really good start, then it might lose you a bit, but ends on a high note Money For Nothing and Brothers In Arms are usually the songs I listen to once in a while
Your basic 90βs pop music
I was never a fan of Amy simply because Iβm not a fan of this type of music
This is a weird one from them, not necessarily bad, just⦠unexpected
Some ups and downs, but overall pretty good, which is expected from Prince
Never expected an unknown language to influence how much I enjoy an album
People here complaining that itβs too repetitiveβ¦ and theyβre right
Starts like rock (3/5), sure enough, but quickly transitions to folk rock which is not something I particularly enjoy
Could not, for the life of me, figure out a reason as to why this album should be on the list
Even back then I wasnβt a fan of Dre, although I can see his work as being important and an influence on later artists
βMom, can you buy me a B52 record?β βBut we have B52 at homeβ B52 at home:
Good start but falls off quickly for me. And I do like Bowie and he has been influential, 100%, but this album just isnβt it
Controversial opinion warning - overrated album from an overrated artist
The pioneers of indie rock. Am not necessarily a fan of theirs but their influence on the genre cannot be ignored
I know people love Brian Wilson but I just donβt get it, and I did try
Such a great album, good tracks from start to finish, itβs hard for me to find something to criticize, might even be my favorite album from AC/DC
Very monotonous and βslowβ. I guess it can make for some decent background music
This was like taking a trip back to memory lane, the good kind of trip
I am not a big fan of punk rock but Green Day are the exception + boulevard of broken dreams is so iconic that I feel like everyone knows it (for good reason)
Some simple yet enjoyable country rock
Funky, jazzy, if only the whole album would have this vibeβ¦
Such a good album, especially considering itβs their debut album.
Iβm reading through the reviews, the praise but I just donβt get it, and I tried, didnβt give up on it at once even if I wanted to do. I just donβt get any of it
This album is not actually that good, an average 2.5 feels fair to me but Iβll bump it up to a 3 becauseβ¦ well, nostalgia
This is just not my kind of music. Feels very monotonous and boring, nothing to hold me one for the ride
This does not actually feel like a full fledged album, more like something youβd put together quickly so you could work on it later
Just not my type of music
Didnβt have a lot of expectations coming in, but this album is actually pretty good, some good lyrics and doesnβt have that monotonous feel to it that a lot of similar albums suffer from
This feels like such a mediocre album
Music, like any other form of art, is subjective, so itβs perfectly fine for you to be in the same boat as me and not like this album
Not a bad album just not a lot going on to keep you there
Yeah sure, itβs different, but I donβt like this kind of different and donβt plan on revisiting it
Not saying theyβre bad, but imo The Beatles has to be one of the most overrated bands out there and this album just showcases that, it has maybe 2 good songs and the rest is just filler content
Is it a bad album? No, of course not. Does listening to 2 songs feel like youβve heard everything the album has to offer? It kinda does.
Doesnβt really feel any different than any other rock/folk singer-songwriter artists
Youβve certainly got some bangers here, like βTime After Timeβ and βShe Bopβ but my problem with her is that after 2-3 songs I start finding her voice irritating
I guess at this point I should expect all of their albums to show up on this list
I donβt particularly know where to put this one, sometimes boring, other times quite interesting, I guess straight down the middle would be fair, but I canβt go 2.5 unfortunately
To say this is weird is not saying a lotβ¦ quite the experience, Iβll put it that way
Decent album, heavy on the pop side. Do I think everyone needs to listen to this before they die? Not really
Folk music just isnβt my jam apparently
Apparently mariachi-rock is a thing, guess you do learn something new every day
I was wondering if theyβll show up here, while not particularly influential or inventive, itβs just good energy and vibes all around. Stand out songs for me are Hail Bop and Wor
Solid album from a solid band, I still donβt agree that itβs considered βmetalβ though
Somehow slow and one dimensional, but at the same time itβs not actually bad and is somewhat enjoyable at times
This album being on this list has to be some elaborate joke that I canβt get
A divisive album with inconsistent song quality and an experimental sound. It may appeal to die-hard fans but falls flat for me
A slightly above average album which made it to this list because⦠yeah, that part baffles me
Other than being βdifferentβ I cannot understand why this album is here
For some reason this album isnβt available for me on spotify so I had to listen to it on youtube, was the extra hassle worth it? No, it was not
This is an album from a band that I enjoy and come back to at times, so going into it I knew I was going to decide between a 4 or 5. While it certainly has quite a few bangers, and a couple of really good songs, it also has, unfortunately, some filler songs. Itβs also a bit weird to see Gorillaz labeled as βrockβ
It was ok back then, but it did not age well. It also feels longer than it has to be
Just an ok album all around, no reason for it to stick around in my head
So many classic songs on this one, itβs also one of those rare instances where itβs aged gracefully
Fun punk rock that exceeded my low expectations. Itβs a 2.5 for me as Iβm not a punk rock fan
I actually like the Verve, but this isnβt particularly good work, sure you have some decent songs, but the majority of them just kind of blend together and feel a bit dull
It has one of those voices that you either like or it annoys you, unfortunately itβs the latter for me
Didnβt hate it, didnβt like it either though
I understand that itβs a significant piece in hip hop history but it just doesnβt resonate with me
Stan still hitting as hard as the day it came out
Exactly what youβd expect from 60s rock and roll
Bumped it up to a 3 thanks to Breakdown and American Girl. Otherwise it feels very meh
Did not expect to enjoy this one so much, worth a listen if youβre a fan of synth-pop
Kanye always felt overrated for me, sure heβs got a few good songs, even has a good album, but this isnβt it. That being said, itβs not horrible, plenty of worse stuff on this list
Pleasantly surprised by it, a nice touch of electronic sprinkled into it
This rating is not indicative of how much I enjoy Johnny, I just donβt think live performances have a place on this list
Must have been a game-changer back in the day, but now it just blends in and feels pretty meh.
A real gem from the grunge era that hits you with deep emotion and raw energy.
I really wanted to like this more because I consider The Smiths to be pretty decent, but it just didn't click for me. The tunes felt a bit repetitive and lacked the unique spark I usually find in their music. It's not bad, just not as exciting as I hoped.
If someone doesnβt understand what pop hair-metal is, this is the album to listen to, still fun though
Not going to lie, this album left me confused
My biggest gripe with it is that it feels too repetitive. It gets bumped up to a 3 thanks to βThinking Of Youβ and βWe Are Familyβ
If you ever wondered what the punk/post-punk era sounds like in the 80s, this is the answer
Iβm not a fan of jazz in general but for some reason this album felt even worse than usual
Funky, upbeat house music. Made me want to explore more of Coldcut
Starts strong but quickly starts spiraling downwards, a shame really
Good tunes on one side, pretty meh on the other, not an easy album to rate. That being said, I have to bump it up to a 3 because it is actually a pretty good album
While I can appreciate that he does good music, I never was much of a Bob Dylan fan, that being said, I still feel a bit guilty rating this album (which might actually be his last best album) this low
A good example of actually enjoyable punk rock, coming from a person that does not enjoy this type of music typically
Yes, this is the album that has that one song about a fast automobile
I do not like country music at all, itβs an easy 1/5 for me, but Johnny is an exception. What isnβt an exception are live sets, I honestly donβt think they have a place here.
My definition of a perfectly average singer making average music, I donβt get why he shows up so often on this list
Enjoyable rock album mixed in with some jazzy vibes
Shades of LCD Soundsystem, that being said, Iβm hoping there will be some of their stuff on this list
βWhere is my mind?β is a banger as anyone who has seen Fight Club would say, and I guess itβs kinda true. Other than that, just disjointed noise really
There is way too much Simon & Garfunkel on this list
Starts off ok, the gets progressively worse track by track
Thereβs too much Costello on this list
A very solid album all around
It starts out pretty decent but quickly becomes so boring and annoying. It picks up again with Electricity but just falls again after
Blues rock that bikers enjoy, then again, I also find it enjoyable, maybe I should buy a bike π€
I donβt doubt that Nina is great and all, but she just doesnβt do it for me
Three songs in, still waiting for it to pick up, so far it just feels like an intro
Not a fan of his really, that being said, there are a couple of decent songs on this album
There is no world where you can convince me this album needs to be on this list
Very dull
It is, indeed, funky
Loud, fun, just overall a good fucking album
Your typical 70s english punk band
Fun album, just feels drawn out
Decent electronic music, but not something Iβll go back to
What the hell is that intro
Nah bro
Did not expect this synthpop/new wave album to be as enjoyable as it is. Give it a chance if youβre a fan of the genre
Some of those that work forces, are the same that burn crosses
So this is what hipsters like to listen to
Iβll say it again, I donβt think lives should be on here, they slightly ruin the experience for me
Lennyβs got one good song and itβs not on this album
He has a good voice but this just isnβt my type of music
I am not a fan of country music but Johnny is an exception, such a great voice
Political rap that did not age well
Might actually be his best album
Did not expect to see funky hip-hop on this list
Not the good kind of grunge
I usually find Reggae boring and this isnβt really an exception, I bumped it up to a 3 thanks to So Much Things to Say and The Heathen, some standout songs
Not a fan of Soul music, so me enjoying this album genuinely took me by surprise
This album's pretty cool β it's got some good vocals and a couple of songs that stand out. It's not mind-blowing or anything, but definitely better than some stuff on this list
Biggie was, without a doubt, incredibly skillful as an artist, that being said, this is the type of album where you take out the standout songs and put them in your own playlist and ignore the rest
While not in the conversation for βbest metallica albumβ, this is still a very good album with quite a few iconic songs.
Loud just for the sake of being loud
Canβt handle the bloody roots :(
This album delivers engaging, lengthy tracks in a laid-back style, avoiding monotony. It's an immersive, pleasant listen, that I would come back to in the future.
The singing is pretty annoying and all the songs just blend into one boring sound. It's really hard to tell them apart or get into it.
Something youβd hear while being on hold
Did I just listen to a hotelβs lobby music?
Although I am a fan of the dust brothers, I have to say this album did not age particularly good and it relies heavily on songs like Block Rockinβ Beats and Setting Sun to make it an above average listen
Some decent songs here and there but nothing worth coming back to unfortunately
This album is really cool if youβre into their raw, grunge vibe. It's all stripped back, letting you really feel the music. I usually prefer studio stuff, so it loses a point for being live, but I completely understand why it has to be this way.
Unsure why itβs on this list, just another mediocre album really
Decent music, but the lyrics are plain awful
Was not sure what to expect going in, and still not sure what I got coming out of it
I know everyone likes Miles Davis but man I just couldnβt go through with it, Iβm giving it a 2 as opposed to 1 because there is something there, it just fails to reach me
Doesnβt feel that interesting tbh, just some meh hip-hop that was considered revolutionary when it came out because of the message it was trying to get across
More psychedelic than rock
We really need to be able to go .5 on the ratings, because this is a perfect 2.5, just bang on average
Put this album on in the background, turn the volume down a bit, and chill with your favorite drink and some friends. It's perfect for hanging out and chatting.
Wow this is kinda bad
This one completely misses me, itβs not bad, but why is it considered a top hip-hop album?
Unfortunately, Garbage, for me, equals that one rain song. They do have solid stuff besides that, which is why Iβm bumping it up to a 3, itβs just not really for me
Iβm happy Duran is on this list, some very enjoyable 80s new wave music.
I rate Bowie very highly but this album being labeled as a perfect 5/5 just doesnβt make sense, youβre diminishing his other, better albums this way in my opinion. That being said, Lazarus is a really, really good song.
I throw on Radiohead every once in a while because itβs a band I enjoy, but, to be completely honest, this is not an album that I usually put on
Very boring and slow
Thereβs something here, donβt know exactly what, but definitely something, maybe I need to come back to it later?
5 seconds was enough for me to make up my mind about it, but I decided to give it another 20 seconds, that being said, can I have my 20 seconds back now?
I guess my problem with Simon & Garfunkel in general is that I find their music very passive and soft, just straight up boring I guess. All of this is very subjective of course.
Yet another forgettable album that I will not be coming back to
Canβt help but think that if this album were from any other album then it wouldnβt be on this list
Never thought Iβd find an album too βprogressiveβ, but hey, if you are a fan of the genre, youβre going to love this album.
Nothing speaks more 80s than this upbeat, funky album. Itβs actually fair to say that this is typical 80s funky soul, luckily, I enjoy typical 80s funky music
Forgettable, bland music, like a lot of the albums on this list now that I think about it
Very indicative of who the Pixies are - fun, upbeat, indie rock
Itβs honestly just boring country rock, although, title song is so good it drags it up to a 3
Coming into this I was sure it was getting a perfect score but listening to it again, I realize just how good the title song is, makes the whole album feel slightly better than it actually is. Still a banging album though.
Shades of early Gorillaz, not that itβs a bad thing
Great album to enjoy while roaming around the Mojave Wasteland
Not great but not too horrible either, had a few tunes I enjoyed, the rest is pretty forgettable
Too βshoegazeβ for my liking
Very indicative of what kind of music was popular back then, which is not a bad thing.
Torn between a 2 and a 3 as there is something there, just canβt put my finger on it
Really fun old-school album
Probably one of their more forgettable albums, but itβs Queen so you still get an above average listening experience
Flashbacks of fifa 14
Couldnβt get into it
Decent album but The Police just feels so overrated that you go into it with higher expectations.
For someone who enjoys indie rock, this album completely misses me, I was hoping to at least get one good track but no such luck
Iβve always had a soft spot for RΓΆyksopp, probably because I listened to a lot of electronic music back in high-school. This album brings a wave of nostalgia, but even setting that aside, itβs a thoroughly enjoyable dance record thatβs definitely worth your time.
Punk indeed
Not a big fan of Pixies but the influence they had on later bands (Radiohead, Nirvana) that Iβm a fan of cannot be ignored
Starts pretty decent but quickly falls short of what you thought it would deliver
Some decent, early 90s poprock? britrock? Not exactly sure where it falls tbh
Musically not that bad of an album, but it just doesnβt interest me
This album perfectly captures the tense and suffocating vibe that matches the bandβs experiences. The music, with its odd time signatures, heavy reverb guitar, and layered vocals, creates a relentless and intense atmosphere. Stand out song is obviously Rooster but donβt sleep on Would and Angry Chair
Even for electronic music this feels too repetitive
First time I hear about Missy, canβt say I missed too much
Incredibly generic, boring pop. Easily skippable
80s brit pop that sounds the same as any other 80s brit pop
The vocals are too βshriekyβ for my taste
Itβs a solid album, just feels too drawn out at times
Music, like art in general, is of course subjective, and people will have different opinions when it comes to it. That being said, people trashing this album know fuck all about music
It did not start well and was considering dropping it, but it actually grows on you the more you listen to it. Stand out songs are obviously Take Me Out and This Fire
Might be good but man that voice is annoying
Very representative of indie rock in the 2000, some decent tracks here and there bump it up to a 3
At this point I shouldnβt be surprised that there are so many of their albums on this list. The first track on this album really gives an indication of whatβs waiting for you, that being said, canβt believe how some people try to argue that itβs some genius lyrics that others fail to understand, I guess I canβt just comprehend the complexity of βbeep beepβ
Bland music
Typical 90s noise-rock music
Did I just listen to rock-piano?
I donβt particularly like their experimental album, still some a good album though
Decent music and vocals just not my vibe
I really thought walking into this that it would be some AC/DC wannabe band but theyβre actually pretty good even if somewhat similar. Thereβs also a pinch of glam-rock here that I did not expect to enjoy
Never heard of them so didnβt expect too much, maybe thatβs why I thought it was actually a pretty good album?
I mean, itβs the Strokes, what else can I say? If youβre a fan of indie rock then itβs hard to make a case for why this album shouldnβt be at least a 4/5
Most generic 90s pop-rock ever
Feel free to skip this, youβre not missing out on much
Come back to the Bee Gees later, theyβre still finding their groove in 71
Underwhelming
Never heard of them before this, not exactly sure how I feel about this album to be completely honest, but one thingβs for sure, it definitely packs a punch
From start to finish, itβs amazing, with a heavy, gritty sound that no one else can copy. The guitar riffs are killer, the drums are pounding, and Eddieβs vocals are incredible. Even after all these years, this album still rocks just as hard. Easy 5/5
**Review:** This album starts strong but quickly becomes underwhelming and generic. Despite a few highlights, it lacks originality and feels forgettable. Not as good as some of their other stuff.
What a big pile of β¦ nothing
This album mixes punk energy with modern twists, but it didnβt quite click for me. Tracks like βNeon Nightsβ have a spark, yet the experimental pieces felt off. This type of music just isnβt up my alley
This album kicks ass on paper, but it just didn't click for me this time. Carlos shreds, the latin grooves are tight, but I wasn't feeling it. Maybe I needed a few drinks beforehand? It's a classic for a reason, I guess. I'll give it another shot when I'm in the right headspace.
Generic country/folk music from the 60s-70s that blends in with other albums of its era
I swear all country/folk music from this time period sounds the same
Is this the same song on repeat 10 times? Not 11 because the last song actually sounds different than the rest
I wish I liked this more, I really do, but thereβs just no variety here. As good as the first song is, you canβt just have more of the same for the rest of the album.
Theyβre not bad per se, just incredibly dull
This sounds like your generic hip hop album from the 90s, I was hoping for at least one stand-out song from this 18 track album but there were none
My only problem with this album is that it feels as though itβs all over the place, mostly because itβs trying too much. That being said, it does deserve a place on this list and itβs influence cannot on later, more βiconicβ bands cannot be disputed
Feels like yet another indie album from the 2000s
Just loud noises for the sake of being loud
Generic britpop from the 90s
The music might seem repetitive, almost blending together, but I actually found that to be part of its charm. Sinatraβs smooth vocals and the laid-back melodies create a surprisingly relaxing vibe, perfect for unwinding.
This album is pretty obnoxious, and I donβt mean it in a good way, only reason itβs not a 1 is because thereβs something there right at the beginning, something resembling actual decent music, but it just falls off so quickly youβre left disappointed
I was never much of a metal fun, and by much I mean I never enjoy listening to this genre, but soad manage to somehow stand out and are one of the bands Iβm willing to make an exception for
While not necessarily bad, it does feel very repetitive, like one long song repetitive. I didnβt hate it, found it enjoyable actually, I just doubt that itβs something Iβll be returning to on purpose
Some raw, post punk music here reminiscent of Joy Division, all in all not too shabby
I feel like this is a band I should like more but unfortunately itβs yet another band that has a few good songs and thatβs about it
Overrated album from an overrated artist
βOh noes, this album is filled of misogyny and violence, how can anyone like thisβ If this is your criteria for rating music, Iβm afraid of what kind of music weβd have if it were up to you. That being said, lyrics are doing the heavy lifting here, everything else is kind of meh by todays standards, a 3.5/5 is probably more accurate
Fuck all the haters
Damn this was rough. Tried to vibe with the raw energy, but it just hurt my ears. Harvey's voice? More screechy than edgy. The bare-bones sound felt half-baked. Hard pass for me
I actually like the Grateful Dead but this isnβt what I would recommend to someone listening for the first time
I rated their previous album (youth and young manhood) a 2 and called it mediocre and this is actually slightly better so it should be a 2.5, but we donβt have .5 here so I need to decide if it gets bumped up to a 3 π€
Feel free to tell me how I know nothing about music, but I thought this album was incredibly boring. The backing tracks feel uninspiring, and the songwriting is nothing special. Only good thing about this album are her very good vocals.
This is not my type of music, I find it too stale, that being said, Neil still finds a way to elevate this stale music, not a lot as to make me want to come back to it, but just enough to make it an above average listening experience
Hard pass
Fine, Iβll say it, this is too raw and βpunkβ for me
This album is basically two parts, and it starts out pretty good, with a solid 3, focusing more on psychedelic rock if you will, and in the second part it descends to mediocre country music which is a 1 for me. With all of that said, the final score makes perfect sense if you ask me.
This is quintessential 90s R&B, sure to delight fans of the genre. The smooth vocals and soulful melodies are undeniably skillful. That being said, it's not something youβd usually find in my playlist.
This album caught me by surprise as Iβm not much of a Bob Dylan fan, so I was expecting to listen to yet another overrated album, but no, this was actually an enjoyable 50 mins that is definitely worthy of this list
Iβm sorry but I just donβt get what all the hype is about
The Cure really delivered with this album, one might even make the argument that itβs their best one. Itβs a slow burn, but in a good way, itβs also got this vibe to it that is difficult to put into words, but it makes the album stand out. Wasnβt expecting to like it this much, solid 4/5
Yet another forgettable album
Just a worse version of The Smiths
Funky
Another britrock band with a good album but no standout tracks. You might even think youβre listening to the beatles if youβre not paying attention
Maybe I should give Wilco more of a chance? I expected mediocrity but actually got a βgood but not greatβ album
I mean itβs Green Day, for good or bad, theyβre so iconic that you immediately know what to expect, the rest is up to you to decide how much you enjoy them
I was promised thrills and there were none, not cool
Hard pass
Bland and repetitive, I see no reason to come back to them
First time I hear about these guys, and this is supposedly goth music? I always thought goth music is supposed to be some depressing stuff but this is actually pretty fun
Mind you even if the genre says itβs jazz, itβs actually different from your traditional jazz that youβd expect, itβs some kind of weird experimental jazz that I did not vibe with at all
Ok-ish, dull music that sounds very similar to other bands
The concept of hip hop mixed with world is very interesting, too bad the execution is lacking
I just realized that I only listen to Bob Dylan when Iβm interested in a certain song, itβs never βI just feel like listening to some Bob Dylan so Iβll put something of his on shuffleβ Itβs basically a quick in-and-out
Iβm not that big of a Smiths fan but you canβt in all honesty say that this is shit. This might be my favorite album from them and Iβll probably come back to it in the future, which is more than I can say about some other albums on this list
So happy to see this album on the list and for Michael to get the props he deserves
Starts strong but falls off quickly, itβs still good though
Not as bad as I expected it to be, then again, I was expecting it to be absolutely abysmal
Not my favorite Radiohead album but itβs still up there, Iβd probably give it a 4.5 if I could, but deciding between a 4 and 5, it has to be a 5
I am not a fan of Madonna but I certainly get why this albums is on the list, itβs iconic, good production, her voice βfitsβ the overall tone of the album. If I were to complain about something itβs probably the length, 1h6m feels too much
Easily forgettable
This is the type of album I stick around on this website for
This is objectively good music, itβs just not something I particularly care about
This is too noisy and weird even for me
You have maybe 2 good songs doing all the heavy lifting and hoping itβs enough to call this a good album, itβs not
Live albums never work for me and I have yet to find the exception to the rule
Experimental indie pop that left me unsure if I actually enjoyed it or not, 2.5/5
Not something that will blow you away, might even call it boring at times, but a solid album all around
Did not expect to enjoy this one, pleasantly surprised
No business being on this list
A bit repetitive but pretty decent overall
Did not expect to enjoy it this much
I see a lot of people hating on this, which is fine, not everyone can limp with the bizkit
Easily forgettable
Never heard of them before this, and I probably wonβt hear of them in the future again
I donβt think live albums have a place on such a list
I see nothing memorable or special about this album to warrant itβs place on this list
