This album is very EA Sports mid-2000s game menu core. Every track on this album sounds like it could be playing in MLB 2004 or Madden 05. Overall the album is a little too raw for my tastes except for Maps which is a classic.
Fitting that this album is by 2pac, not Tupac, cause it stinks like a big ol' number 2!
Reggae sux
3 stars only for dancing queen
Unnecessarily long but somewhat troll
WOO HOO
Waaaah waaaah war bad, u gonna cwy wittle Johnny?
Honestly solid but I'd probably never listen on my own
They have to be trolling rn
Nothing special. Sounds like XTC. Why did we need to hear this before we die? Saved one tho so I'll give it like a 1.5
Nice and relaxing and poggers
Sex pistols but unprovocative lyrics and cringe choruses
Sadly goated. Sounds like you're in a small town in the corn fields of Illinois
Thought this might be a 2 but it just kept going and getting worse. 1 save.
Had its moments. Relaxing
Probably like a 3.75 but I'll round up

Bruce is good but idrfw this album
2.4ish, had some meta
I light the fire, you place the flowers in the vase that you bought today
Decent but forgettable
Tfw you're swimming in a fish bowl
Sneaky 4 songs saved but also that song about having a gf in a coma irrationally pissed me off so much. That was peak cringe from Morrissey, who is no stranger to cringe.
LeElvis
It would be cooler if his name was ciggy instead of iggy because this album sounds like how the smoking circle outside a dive bar smells. 3 stars
BB was bumping. This album sounds like the wildest party since prohibition.
Pretty baller man. Felt the groove of the late 80s pulsing through my veins.
They named an album after poop and then sung about jerking off. Grow up, Green Day!
durmiente residente
Feels like I've heard this one before
Resident sleepy jazz
Zappa is a troll eh Nolan? Nolan: yuh
Take daft punks music and imagine a guy with frosted tips and a shark necklace making it and that's what this album sounds like
Tis a pity Jim was a whore eh Nolan? Nolan: Yuh
Tori kinda snapped but not enough, eh Nolan? Nolan: Yuh
Leftism? Biden's America eh Nolan? Nolan: Yuh
Nolan, you haven't been to the octagonecologyst in a while bud, you should really make an appointment soon! Nolan: Yuh
Pretty groovy tunes eh Nolan? Nolan: Yuh
Fitting that this album is by 2pac, not Tupac, cause it stinks like a big ol' number 2!
Quite the classic eh Nolan? Nolan: Yuh
Surprisingly solid eh Nolan? Nolan: Yuh
Like Metallica but really bad
Woodface whatface? P good Nolan Nolan: Yuh
Relaxing but still meta. Lowers the heart rate a bit eh Nolan? Nolan: Yuh

Sip some black coffee, watch the rain fall, and listen to miles Davis pog for 2 hours. Would recommend
Horny boy

Unexpectedly poggers
P good
Had some moments
At the beginning of listening it was good but then I wasn't in the mood for it at the end and it sounded like shit. Music in a nutshell
Didn't like wouldn't listen again
We all know the classics but I thought the rest of the album was pretty forgettable. Also hot take but Janis's voice low key sounds horrible but it works
Old school
Another 80s sleeper with a one hit wonder
I feel like some of my earliest music tastes were from riding in the car listening to pop radio when stuff like this was playing
No woman no cry is a certified banger but the rest wasn't noteworthy
Not their best but still some solid Maiden
LeJerry Garcia was a system Jam Bander carried by his team!
Sounds like if Daft Punk and Portishead teamed up to make ambient-inspired music. Listen at night for best effects
The Octopus
Kinda meta
Pretty good, since I'm in such good holiday spirit on Xmas eve (observed) I'll round up to 4 here
3 stars only for dancing queen
Stevie always meta
I fucking love random European electronic music, gotta be one of my favorite genders
Boring
Playoff Lenny (Cohen)
James Addiction (milk)
Had some moments but overall pretty resident sleeper
Kiss blows. Only ever knew the one Kiss song on Guitar Hero 3 (Rock and roll all nite), but I didn't realize EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEIR SONGS is about the same things as rock and roll all nite (wearing leather, playing rock and roll, partying, and making love). Thank God their final tour ever ended last month so no one ever has to be subject to this crap in person again.
Very meta album and one of my all time top 100. She Bangs the Drums and Made of Stone are bangers. I Am the Resurrection is an awesome penultimate song. If I'm rating objectively I'd give it a 4.5 just bc it drags at some parts.
Just not my thing
Jigsaw Falling into Place is a fire song but the rest of the album where Thom Yorke is just moaning sadly into the mic like a dog begging for food doesn't do it for me
Pretty meta, saved a bunch
Another solid one
Shit 80s arena rock
Solid tbh
As someone who has been to Portland, OR one (1) time, I can say with certainty that Elliott's music matches up perfectly with the vibe there
Meh
First time I've listened all the way through. I thought it was an incredible album. It's got its share of hits, but even the lesser known songs were great and kept the album moving at a good pace. I love how many tracks flow into each other, giving a real sense of cohesiveness to the album. My new favorite Pink Floyd
Had some spots but just not my thing
Few bangers but overall meh
Meta poggers
Average
Solid Bowie, 3.5
Ketchup tier poggers
Q-Mid
Funky disco freak out

Meh
P good but bono is kinda cringe
Kinda mid besides master of puppets
I liked like 75% of the sound of every song. Respect tho
Some good ones but overall meh. Reminded me of No doubt
A couple bop.coms
Resident zz
theLonious
Pre-drugs Beatles were shit
Not the best kinks but a few slappers
American Girl is an all time banger. RIP Tom Petty
Not memorable but I fe white girl
Inject the trip hop into my veins đ
People usually say MMLP is Eminem's best but I think it's this one. He's completely unhinged and super creative. There are plenty of hits but even the deep cuts like My Fault (+ skit beforehand), As the World Turns, and 97 Bonnie and Clyde go hard. No misses IMO
Maxwell
Morrissey aka peak cringe personified. He makes pretty good music though
Not the best but not the worst
Feel like I should like this album more than I do. Common people is kind of a banger
Solid album, some groves on here. Iggy finally clicking a bit for me
"Neil Old" Mike (just ripped bong): đđ€Łđđ€Ł
Solid album with some bops but some songs just 100% miss
Dog shit album and very cringe that they rap a line together by alternating words. Gotta give them back half a star though for the innovative (at the time) beats
it's so weird that "hair metal" was a genre. why did all of the bands have long hair and play the same music i don't get it
This album is a party that I'm not cool enough to be invited to
If I ever own a fancy Italian restaurant this album is gonna be blasting through those speakers 24/7
Decent album but nothing stuck out
Pretty solid for an oldie
Solid bowie
Stevie Wonder ripoff. 20 years too late bozo!
I listened to this 1 day ago but literally cannot remember a single note that I heard
Cacaphony
Nick Cave snapped on this one. Haven't ever liked him before listening to this album yesterday. Good stuff
Dank Neil Old & Crazy Horse. Ty Neil for pulling it off Spotify due to concerns about misinformation. I was able to listen on YouTube, a platform known for its high-quality and factual content, instead!
Pretty good stuff
Queen
Weird album, corny lyrics and very 90s-esque dramatic beats. Feel like the list has been heavy on 90s pop that's pretty mid
decent but not really memorable
some good ones here but overall an ok album
Some bops on here for sure
RIP Amy. Sadly, it's one of the all time aged-like-milk moments that she sang about not going to rehab and then died from substance abuse 5 years later. Good album though.
Decent but not memorable
Mid
Didn't love at first but it got good towards the end
đ ±ïžulđ ±ïž
Surprisingly meta
Purple Rain (song) is a certified bop. Went to karaoke in NYC once and some guy was killing it on Let's Get Crazy. The rest of the album is a little weird and/or too freeform for me
She Mott on my Hoople until I The
She's no Etta James that's for sure
Decent album from Dr. Nick
Imagine being at the club in NYC while the Bill Evans Trio is belting out this classic đ¶ you'd get some of the best sleep of your life right in that club đŽ
Unnecessarily long but somewhat troll
Solid collab
Most deep purple songs lull me to sleep but then some wake me up in a psychedelic dream state
EXOSKELETAL The folks will never forget the meta that was initiated at Terminal 5 in NYC in late September. The boof was hit, Mike V was met, Family Guy was watched (the open with Osama bin laden doing comedy), and the fellas initiated meta.
Mid
Can't get into this 80s sound
It's like if you took a GTA radio station and made it into an album
Dolly kinda snapped
Dark, dark album, feels like it's Ian Curtis writing with one foot in the grave. The feels are here on this one
Standard
Generic 60s boop bop rock
Ride ripoff
Hey Jim, if you want Neil Old back on Spotify maybe you should stop supporting Joe Rogan spreading misinformation!
Irish shanty ass music
Nothing special
This absolutely melted peoples faces back in the 80s
This album went kinda hard ngl. Reminded me of early Genesis
Ngl, I was pissed at first when I saw this was a 2 hour long Metallica live album that I'd have to slog through. The SF Symphony Orchestra popped off though. Shout out to the legend Ennio Morricone for a little Ecstacy of Gold starting the album off. Surprisingly good overall
Classic but some songs on this are weak
Sonic Youth meets Blondie
Enough of the live albums cmon list
P chill
George snapped. Def best Beatle
Standard 90s poppy college rock type stuff p solid tho
Some bangers in this one for sure
Wacky background music
Mid house
2nd wave ska meta
Boring stoner rock
Generic MLB 2k ass music
Not bad tbh
Absolute classic. I'll never forget back in the Jersey days tailgating at the Bayonne Costco with some pig pistols and blasting Easily from this album. There was nothing like those fruit smoothie glizz burps. The list is on fire giving us this heater of an album heading into US MDW
Album was kinda carried by the hits and even those weren't Elton's best
Ooo-wee-ooo Nolan looks just like buddy Holly, Oh-Oh and Jim's Mary Tyler Moore
Went pretty hard actually
Not memorable the other goldfrapp was better
Cause I got one hand in my pocket, and the other one is typing "poggers". Fire album, we stan our queen Alanis
Jim hates
They need Young bad
Reminded me of George Harrison
Easiest 2 stars of my life
Run DMC is so bad. How did people actually like this music? The terrible beats (guy just spamming cowbells or whatever that is), the choppy ass flow with EMPHASIS on every few words, and lyrics cornier than an Illinois farm make this so unlistenable. The only silver lining of this album is that it makes you appreciate how hip hop and rap have come so far since the mid 80s. This album should be left in the past and left off this list.
Classic album with a lot of solid tracks
Album overall is ok, gets weird in the 2nd half. Heroes is such a good song, though, that I gotta give it 4 stars. Those loopy guitar chords, the steady rhythm, and Bowie's lyrics match perfectly and vividly capture the profound significance that the little moments of everyday life can have on us. It might be in my top 10 favorite songs of all time.
Fuego
Kinda went hard. Didn't know this existed before, it's like a bonus arctic monkeys album
Take me out
Some decent songs but I just struggle to get into older hip hop/rap music as a whole
Pretty solid, especially for a 1964 album. Had some bops also the white stripes copied her
Depressing but in a good way. RIP Elliott
No bueno
Your average bowie
Good album but not even my favorite wilco album. I respect the dark themes and somewhat ambient instruments, I just don't like them that much tbh. It's still got some bops in some of the more upbeat songs though
Never really liked AC/DC that much. They're bottom-tier dad rock with some very cringe songs. You shook me all night long is a good song tho
Pretty good not gonna ngl. It's like the poppy jolly music in the lyrics but more experimental instrumentals. Makes for a nice cocktail of sound
Average album. Sounded decent but went in one ear and out the other. Good focus music
Decent album. A little poppy and a little psychedelic. The 60s seem like they were a much simpler time to get high with less stimuli all around. I imagine there were a ton of people that took LSD, tossed this record on, and had the trip of their lives. No cell phones, no internet, no distractions, just living in the moment with some Jefferson Airplane grooves in the background.
Standard Frank, don't like it that much
It grows on me every listen. Coltrane was def cooking something up on this one, still don't know exactly what it is though
Solid trancy album, never heard of these folks before but I'll prob listen to them more
Dedicating this 4 star rating to Nolan. Ty Nolan
Great album with some amazing songs like Thinking About You, Bad Religion, and my personal favorite, Pyramids. On top of the innovative instrumentals, Frank's stream of consciousness style lyrics turn the song into an intimate space where he explores life, love, and lust. Ultimately, though, the same stream of consciousness style holds back the album as there are points where it is a little too loose and freeform for my liking. Easy 4/5 and nearly a 5/5 for me
Liked but didn't love
This is the first soul music that I've really liked tbh
I just can't get into this album. Unironically, I think I can't relate well to the subject matter bc of my privilege. I also don't like the sound of it
The highs are high on this one but overall it's kinda raw and has some real stinkers. Shout out Jim's old boss Tony who rides a bicycle and wears superhero shirts.
On one hand, it's got some classics like no sleep till Brooklyn and girls. On the other hand, the flows, beats, and lyrics are all kinda wack. It's good knowing that in later albums they were able to round out their sound into something a little more cohesive, but this one is a miss for me
The stooges/Iggy always have moments for me where they sound awesome but sadly just not consistently through their albums. Maybe it's Seinfeld effect though where they invented the sound and now it sounds generic after so many acts have followed and copied them
Before Marvel, there was the Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young extended universe. Just like Marvel, they cranked out content but unlike Marvel, almost everything they did was high quality. This album is no exception!
Before Tom Wamsgams and Greg Hirsch, there was Brian Eno and David Byrne. Yup, these guys are the original disgusting brothers and, by God, they got stanky on this ol thang. The album sounds like what AI would generate if it were trained on Eno and Talking Heads. It sounds like a musical representation of a description of a musical representation of a description of a song. It sounds like they recorded an album, cut it into chronological pieces, and randomly shuffled those pieces all around. Is it interesting? Yes. Is it pleasant to listen to? Not really. 2 stars (one for each of these legends)
I like Belle & Sebastian a lot and they're usually on my rotation of music that I regularly listen to. That being said, I just don't think this album is all that great. There aren't many songs or moments that stand out. I much prefer their pair of albums from 1998 where they really round into form and get creative
Jerry was shooting flames out of his piano in the first half of this album but then he cooled off at the end
Extremely average album. Exactly 0 standard deviations from the mean. Right at the center of the bell curve.
There's something about Celtic music that just goes unreasonably hard. Combine that with Sgt. Pepper-like instrumentals and you got yourself a certified banger.
Solid album, I'm starting to come around on Sonic youth, especially goo and post goo
Putting the MID in mid-80s
Old man Johnny
Yuh this was a yuh / 10 (2/5)
Much bluegrassier than the other Stills, couldn't get into it very much
I feel like this is the most Bob Dylan Bob Dylan record. He spits fire start to finish but also has some bangers like Mr. Tambourine Man and It's Alright Ma (shout-out AJ Soprano and his gf in season 6 for bumping this one).
Piss poor
Some of these songs are solid but in some weird way the album feels a little pretentious
Playoff Lenny with his swan song. Common Leonard Cohen W
Good album. I guess I'm a bit of a sucker for 70s prog rock. This was more than just prog rock though, it gave it an arena rock/opera feel to it as only Queen can do.
We've only just begun is a bop but overall this album is very aged. The type of songs you'd hear playing at an arts and crafts store. RIP Karen Carpenter
Not a fan, felt like it went on forever. Too much noise not enough direction. Only had a few moments that were enjoyable to me
I liked the song Ramones off the album Ramones by Ramones where the lead singer said ahh were the Ramones hear us Ramone
TIL there's a little drawing of a guy on this cover. I never saw it before but had it up on the PC Spotify and it was finally large enough to see. Mind blown đ€Ż. 3/5 music though
Didn't hit at all for me
Short and sweet
Had some bops in here for sure. Common 90s electronic music W
So many good songs but also so many duds. If Billy just took the best 12 songs from this whole double album it would be an easy 5. Also, classic Billy Corgan releasing a 6-hour long deluxe edition with 3 full disks of demos and remixes. One of the most self-righteous musicians out there. Great musician though. Last thought: one of the best shirts I own is themed off this album. Look up the Mellon collie Huf collab button down tee it's gas âœ
The prog champ of our generation? Not according to Nolan (Rush)
Really weird but in a good way. Felt like a horror movie
đŽ
This album has everything: - The smash hits (Jeremy, Black, etc.) - A fire opener (Once) - Good deep cuts (Deep, Porch) - The song that people playing Skate 3 play while their character that looks like Jesus does a Christ Air off the Mega Ramp (Even Flow) - The song that Nolan screams over and over while Eddie Vedder rants onstage and guys are passing out in the crowd (Release) Altogether this album is a...Ten out of 10
Some bops
Groovy but felt short idk
Boring 80s quirk pop
I think I gave the album with most of these songs a 4 but I don't like this over as much. idk why this album is on the list, feel like live albums that make the cut should be absolutely legendary (which this isn't) or have unique versions of songs that aren't recorded (which this kind of is but just a little extra jamming)
90s electronic trance
Strong 3/light 4
This feels like a distillation of the earlier White Stripes sound but with all of the fun stuff stripped away. Almost too minimalistic to make it good music and instead it feels like it's a Jack White ego piece
Sympathy
Really weird but I feel like I understood where he was coming from on some of this. Still doesn't make it good music
I really liked the over-the-top theatrical instrumentals on this one. Overall enjoyable album
This album is very EA Sports mid-2000s game menu core. Every track on this album sounds like it could be playing in MLB 2004 or Madden 05. Overall the album is a little too raw for my tastes except for Maps which is a classic.
Mister MOJO RISING 3.5/5 round down
Told Nolan I was listening to D and he thought he was getting Deez Nuts'd đ€Ł
Unbelievably wack. It's an hour long tirade of douchey, yet trashy rhymes that make you feel like you had one too many monsters before booze cruising around the streets of Jacksonville. The same way we look back in time at questionable fashion choices, I look back at this album and think "how the fuck was this ever popular?". This album is a cocktail of bud light, testosterone, energy drinks, cigarette smoke, and insecurity that gets spit out at the listener through the corniest bars of all time. Silver linings: I'm now realizing that I should be grateful that I was too young to ever get into this album or know who Fred Durst was while the album was popular
This one surprised me. There were some moments of songs that were incredible and had me stop whatever I was doing to listen. The thing is, they'd always come back to earth on the next track. Pretty unique sound, though, with their steady house/dance rhythms, James bond-esque guitars, and their rambly talking heads-ish singer
Solid album with some classics
Debaser is an all-time and probably my favorite pixies song (shout-out skate 3). A lot of other solid tracks on this one. I still feel like the pixies haven't really clicked for me yet so I'll give this like a 7/10 and round up
Doesn't sound great but there is some very troll poetry/lyricism in this one "A squid eating dough in a polyethylene bag is fast and bulbous". Sounds like the fellas just took a bunch of LSD together and had fun at the studio making weird ass music
Solid t swift album. Her sound is growing on me, or maybe it's just my girlfriend has played so much Taylor that's I've been incepted into liking her. For the hits, I hate shake it off so much. Blank space is ok and brings me back to college where 1 year everyone would play that song. The deeper cuts are good though
Great album, just couldn't get to 5. Listen to Big Brother by Kanye to see how much of an ass Jay was to Kanye during this time
It's a classic
This went unexpectedly hard. I don't typically like old soul but Curtis was saucin on the track. Also listening to old music like this makes you realize how much today's hip hop is built on the backs of soul music (Chance with Pusha Man).
This went pretty hard ngl. They were murdering those keys
I just don't like Thundercats music really. Even the songs I saved would probably rank in the bottom 10% of all of the songs I've saved on my Spotify. It seems like the industry and other artists love Thundercat for whatever reason but I just can't get into it. When the album got to the point of him talking about how he loved Dragonball Z as a kid it was time to turn it off
It's not the most revolutionary album I've ever heard, but it's got that early 90s sound that I have a sweet spot for and it sticks to it consistently throughout the record. The sound is the perfect cross between the heavier shoegaze of the early 90s like Ride, Catherine Wheel, etc. and the poppier college rock that dominated the whole decade. All in all, I just really liked the album, although I don't think I can get to 5 stars since it didn't totally blow me away
Thom Yorke is the whiniest white boy I've heard since John Lennon. Radiohead be like: beep boop society I be like: beep boop 2/5
Too long but had some bops
Decent Bruce. Nothing crazy. If it's not one of his first 3 albums it's probably a 3
She Crosby on my Stills until I Nash
Went into a wikipedia rabbit hole looking at Saskatoon Canada as I was listening to this. Canada is crazy, there's so much land and I feel like it must be snowy like 75% of the year in 75% of Canada. The fact that there are nightclubs in Saskatoon and that Joni Mitchell used to play in them blew my mind. Decent album but after a while the sound got kind of old to me :(
This list just doesn't miss with the 90s electronic albums, eh Nolan? This shit is smooth like butter on the bread and jam on the toast
He said Bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum
Kind of a snooze fest but kinda good ?
Good Bowie album yuh
Back in 2016, Flowers admitted that he considered The Strokesâ debut album to be better than his bandâs own âHot Fussâ âand previously told NME that he felt âdepressedâ after hearing âIs This Itâ for the first time. âThat record just sounded so perfect,â he said. âWe threw away everything [we were working on] and the only song that made the cut and remained was âMr. Brightside.ââ It's a great story that Brandon ended up listening to Is This It at seemingly the perfect time, because he followed up that inadequacy he felt with the incredible Hot Fuss, which I think turned out even better than Is This It. Like a fine wine, it's aged well over the years, with Mr. Brightside becoming a party anthem and Somebody Told Me still getting airplay. It still has some flaws, though, so it's a tough choice between a 4 and a 5 for me. Let's walk through it Jenny was a friend of mine - Good opener, great song Mr. Brightside - Even though I've heard it a million times I never get tired of it Smile like you mean it - One of the weaker tracks on this album Somebody told me - Smash hit but, unlike Mr. Brightside, I get sick of this song All these things that I've done - I saw a take once that "I've got soul but I'm not a soldier" makes no fucking sense and, frankly, I've got to agree. That tweet singlehandedly ruined this song for me, but, although it's corny, it's still a nice little ballad Andy you're a star - I would say this is a weaker one. I still don't really understand this song On Top - the horns at the beginning are abrasive, but once you're past that I think it's a decent song, but still one of the weaker ones on the album Change your mind - This song starts off a strong stretch to end the album. I've always loved this one and its tone that yins and yangs between gloomy and hopeful Believe me Natalie - The most underrated song on the album, it sounds and feels like a wonderful rambling drunk evening in NYC Midnight show - DRIVE FASTER BOOOOOOOY Everything will be alright - A mediocre closer, it's still got some moments as it ends the album with a haziness that engulfs the listener All in all, this album has been around and on my rotation for a good portion of my life ever since I picked up the CD at a Best Buy as a 10 year old kid with my best friend at the time. The album was a 5 for me then, that same kid is still my best friend today, and Hot Fuss is still a 5/5 today.
I think this might be my favorite Beatles album. It's when you really start to hear the drugs come out in their songwriting and it makes the album somewhat of a journey. It's also a point where they seem to round into form with Paul providing poppy hits, John providing a psychedelic slant, and George bringing some wildcard elements that help expand their songs into different genres. Not totally consistent throughout, though, so it's only a 4/5 for me. Personal Favorites: Eleanor Rigby, Love You To, She Said She Said, For No One
R.E.M. has a lot of good albums đ„. This is NOT one of them đ đ đ
This went unexpectedly hard. It was like Talk Talk (last 2 albums) with some Seinfeld music influence. I'll be coming back to this one for sure
Pros: - the names of the songs were kind of spooky and funny Cons: -just about everything else
Pretty fire and almost shoegazy pixies album
You ever hear the saying that Pennsylvania is "Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and Alabama in between"? Well, this album is Gimme Shelter, You Can't Get What You Want, and dogshit in between.
I love the Strokes and I love this album. I just think it's a little one-dimensional at times. Like 5/10 songs are all-timers but the others are only decent. It was a great start, though, and I think the strokes were able to build off of this start in later albums to really blossom into a powerhouse of a band
I wish I could understand what they were saying
Solo Iggy way better than this
Cherry Garcia
Aretha I love you girl but this album needs a remaster bad
This is how I wish Grateful Dead sounded
This went kinda hard ngl
Cousin Donny with a solid Americana staple
It was ok I guess. Should have smoked a Doobie beforehand, maybe then I would have given it a 4
I never really liked this Bruce album or even the popular songs on it. Although it's good songwriting from Bruce, the album just doesn't sound good, especially compared to a lot of his other albums. Not a fan
Wraparound Oakley's: On Cigarette: lit B*tch ex-wife: left me Dodge ram: 85 mph It's life in the fast lane time đ
Ok music I guess. Never listening to this restaurant lobby ahh music again tho
Interesting mix, the style is like 2000s club but with 80s sounds. Went hard for about 3 songs
Love me some Chemical Bros. The list just doesn't miss with the 90s electronic
Never heard this one by blur before but it was pretty good! Britpop baby yeah
I can't have my handle named after stano and not give his girl Amy at least a 4. Amy actually snapped here
SHREK IN THE WILD (My Beloved Monster) Really good album with a lot of great tracks. E has that nice balance between utter depression and beautiful art in his songs. I'd recommend his autobiography to anyone that likes this album or just likes musician's stories in general.
I bet...if you played this for a baby...they'd cry waaaah waaaah đ
It's a decent album, but super slow in the first half. I hate that the album art doesn't match the album at all
The Doors just don't stand out to me, probably since they're super famous and I've heard them throughout my whole life
There's only one good Cars song (Drive) and it's not on this album. L +
It was decent, saved a few. Ty the the
THROBBING synths. HOT and BURNING choruses. CRAMPING rhythms. This album is PAINFULLY 80s.
It sounds good but the songs are just bad idk how else to describe it.
Get em high and breathe in breathe out are 2 mid songs but just about everything else on this album (including skits) is good, great, or incredible. Songs like Jesus Walks show Kanye's ability to make a smash hit while the school spirit skits show his humor. The New Workout Plan is one of the most unique hip hop songs I know and shows the creativity of Kanye in his beats, lyrics, and songwriting. Through the wire shows might be his best sampling. And finally, Two Words, one of Kanye's most underrated songs, shows Kanye's ability to bring the best out of features in his tracks to make truly unique and fantastic songs. Prob a 9/10 album but a 5/5 for this list.
Even though I like later DP releases I just don't like this one. The songs are moreso collections of noise than coherent songs imo. Maybe I'm not on enough layers of irony or something
Pretty darn good for old hip hop. I'd take this over Run DMC or even Beastie Boys. The beats were good and innovative for 1989. Some of those songs were great. But the majority was pretty forgettable
This guy wrote a whole album about his weiner and somehow it ended up on 1001 albums to hear before you die
Just as close to perfect as you can get for a Rap album. Every song has something to offer and goes UNREASONABLY hard. Listening to it really makes you feel like you're right alongside Nas gooning around and hustling in the streets of New York. Nas takes the relatively shallow subject matter of being a gangsta in the city and reflects thoroughly on it, giving the album an incredible depth where you can feel the conflicts of morality and practicality that many young people in cities across the world wrestle with every day. 10/10
Fine oldies album
I'm not sure why the list felt the need to include this. How is this any different or better than the other prog rock albums around this time that were way more successful? There's definitely a dad rock bias in the list
Wynyrd Skynard, cause this album is taking no Ls
It sounds so weird when British people rap lol talking about "the tele" and stuff while trying to sound hard. This album specifically was kinda whack at first but the more I listened the more I found myself bumping along. So I guess it turned out to be a solid listen
