Pretty damn fun punk album. 4.5 but rounded up instead of down. Lots if great energy meaningful lyrics, and a kinetic pace.

When this music lands, it lands woth aplomb. When it misses, it's just kinda a soft flub.

A few good songs, but nothing particularly noteworthy. Confused how thisade the list.

I honestly cannot day why, precisely, this album landed so well with me. Maybe it was my mood. Bit the poppy, sultry, dark, multilingual qualities all sorta worked t9gether to make me really dig this. Another day, another time, it may have fared worse.

First track starts lame but then kicks into a cool groove. 😎 but them gets kinda lame again. Feels like 3 songs so far. Jet has a fine vibe, honestly. I kinda dig it vut the recording also TELLS me it's rearly fom a different era. I ❤️ed it on Spotify. Bluebird 9s okay, I guess. Kinda TOO repetitive. Rs whatever is the funnest song, but in a dumb way. Short album and I kinda lost track of digging it and focus on the second half.

See, I haven't even started listening to it TODAY but I already know this album fucking slaps. Nowhere near as heavy or monumental as I remember it being when I first heard it, but loaded with bangers. Sweet Child O' Mine absolutely still hits the right notes at every moment.

I mean, it's all right. So far i can recognize its well made art but I'm just mostly not vibing with this style of rap overall.

Started the first track and it's pretty cool but my head hurts so much right now I gotta come back to it after painkillers.

Usually I like weird, experimental and proggy... but so far this isn't clicking

Not a lot I am Viborg with but a few tracks are a solid v8be, somewhere in the range 9f how i felt about Talking Heads and PaulcCartney and Wings.

One of the sonically strangest albums, like a piano bar musical. Competent and it has a vibe but, I dunno, it's n0t Interesting to me. Very well made and I don't wanna turn it off. Miles better than Arcade Fire. I feel like I haven't been hurt enough, lived through the 60s enough, smoked enough cigarettes, or been a repressed housewife or closeted gay man to enjoy this album to its full capacity.

Pretty cool, unique vibe. High energy. Grows on you as it goes.

Giving me proto-Primus, proto-Clutch vibes. Except more sleepy. Yeah, I like this. I accidentally listened to it on shuffle.

Bangers up and down the track list. What a vibe.

Not bad, but short and boring

Probably Slipk ot's worst album, still better than a lot 9f music 9ve heard on this play list so far though.

Strang to hear Cohen sounding so young.

Prog instrumental wankery. I'm here for it.

Interesting sonic landscape. First track k was fabulous, some smooth tracks after too, but by the end I was k8nda getting sick of it. 3/5

I'm bored, but it's better than Arcade Fire. Should have rated that a 1. This is a 2/5 for me.

Started off pretty cool, the fish song was weird but catchy, and by the end I kinda lost interest a bit.

Gave it two solid attempts. Not bad but also nothing grabbed me too hard. Middle of the pack.

A masterpiece of thrash, hard and heavy with clear intent and message. Megadeth at its possibly best, musically if not commercially. Rips louder than your mum's ass after Thanksgiving dinner. 5/5 bangers all the way. Dawn Patril is the weakest track and it still sets a mood unlike many other bands on this list so far.

Solid damn proto pu k with a mean damn edge to it.

So, honestly, this is like THE album to intro people to METAL with. It's aggressive but coherent, clear and polished. Metallica's last GREAT album.

Two tracks in and this is the quickest I've wanted to turn off an album from this list. Not even Arcade Fire made me this unengaged and irritated. Credit where it's due, she has a lovely, skilled voice. The lyrics are about as engaging as canned tomato soup straight from the can. It's so polished and studio perfect, there's no rawness or ugliness to it, and yet it's like 90% about heartbreak and I'm NOT connecting with emotions cuz its way too poppy No body, no crime is the best track so far, and it's the MOST country track so far I'll never get that time back. 1/5

I actually really dig this. Strong core of Si ger/Songwriter energy infused with rawness, chaos, alternative vibes. Many tracks I could revisit and find something new in. Honestly a really cool experience. Wish I had intervals to rate with. I expect I like it igher than I can rate it, and it will likely climb after further listens.

It's fun, very 80s, kind of Avant Garde at times but by the end I got b9red of the vibe.

The sleepiest goddamn rock album I've ever listened to. 2/5 at best.

Weird, experimental, had some good vibes, not at all what I expected. STILL BETTER THAN Arcade Fire.

A really enjoyable pop album infused with just the right amount of Soul and funk to make every song enjoyable. A great Sunny days album walking about and dancing. Cloud Nine, I heard it through the Grapevine and Runaway Child, Running Wild are my favorites, super strong opening for the apbum... 5/5 for my tastes.

Not bad, some cool vibes and nice long songs to zone out to. I had fun but it didn't blow me away.

Way more fun than I expected, some tracks I'd be happy to hear again. A good fu experimental vibe at times.

Pretty voice, soulful and mournful music, but kinda boring and sleep inducing. No higher than a3/5for me, probably a 2/5

Today's album is passionate but weird, sinister but sleepy. Some tracks really connect with me in their sorrowfullness, but some have very little to latch on to. I like it marginally better than some other albums 8ve rated at 2, but not by a huge margin. Just squeaks into the 3 star for my tastes as an 9verall experience but I won't be listening to the album again, only certain tracks.

Disappointed in h9w .uch I didn't ibe with this album.

Her voice is amazing, and I can see myself listening to a couple of songs again, bit entire album of this vibe istoo much brokenhearted melancholy for me to really ate it highly. Insane voice though.

Some of Van Halen's greatest tracks are in this album, absolute relistenable bangers. But the other tracks are just kinda there. Fun listen the whole way through, but ypu really only perk up when the bangers are on.

Okay, some pretty big thoughts here. I want to like this more than I do. I recognize the value of this sound of Punk, and the instrumentation side I absolutely vibe with, and occasionally when I forget the lyrics are actually words and think of them as instruments i can groove to it, but I know I'd enjoy the songs better, and connect with the message more, if it was like 20% more understandable to me. And I listen to a lot of music people tell me they can't understand, amd a lot of foreign music in languages I'm not perfectly fluent in, so i know it isn't REQUIRED that lyrics be easy to grasp... but something about this style o punk v9cal just doesn't land the way i wish it did for me.

Pretty fun album with a comfortable upbeat yet dpur vibe. I dunno maybe it was my mood today, but this album can really blend in with the background and just be the groove for a whole day on repeat. Unexpected for a band ive never heard of or abput. Surprised to say 4/5

Fucking Weird. I don't hate it. 3/5

Meh, two good songs.

Love the groove of old early metal. Solid vibes, and I love seeing the roots of the genre extend down into NWOTHM, DOOM and Stoner metal. Sabbath age well IMO.

1.5hrs if screeching harmonica, mumbling Dylan, inane "storytelling" lyrics that repeat lines about chewing gum repeatedly How EXACTLY did this man become so successful? Desolation Row has been covered by far more engaging musicians. I'd give it 0/5 if the system allowed it. Don't be fooled by the recorded clapping, this is not a good album. It's not 0ffensive, just boring and tedious.

Weird, not bad, but did n9thing for me. I really tried too, but it was just k8nda "there". 2/5

Fine, sloppy punk. Couple really good tracks, overall could grow on me but n0t an absolute banger out the gates. 3/5

This was just a FUN album that i could really easily get into and carries the energy through the whole thing. Little sinister, little horny, little vibey. 4/5

A few good tracks with a dark vibe, a lot of meh, and a few that annoyed me to have to listen to. 2/5

Not my usual jam, but the album had a few really good tracks and nothing particularly bad. Felt like I should be in a smokey room sipping whiskey in a suit.

Absolutely fine album, great to have on in the background, but doesn't stand out too much.

Fun poppy and occasionally alt rocky. Fine album.

The recording sounds so oddly hollow due to the k8ve venue soundscape. The style if rock is fun, and some songs really get into some fun v9cals, but 9verall its just lacking something as a whole listening experience. I suspect I may enjoy individual tracks more as studio recordings. Who knows.

I'm bored of it but it's not BAD

A near perfect hip hop album, dragged down a bit by some songs towards the end that really bored me, and some really meh skits. 4/5 ?

This album exists. I listened to it. That's all. 2/5

Started out a bot weird and eventually o connected with the vibe of the album. A grower. Kinda wanna see if it grows more on me.

Zzzzzzzz

A strong 4/5 for this synth pop 80s classic with some surpringsly melancholy vibes at times. Biased results ciz it gits the mood for the beach vacation.

Supremely listenable hard Rock album but only a couple standout tracks

Super solid 90s gangsta rap album, a little long for my tastes, and sadly riddled with filler that drags it down. But the bangers bang harder than Ice T banged yo mama last night.

I like a lot of the sounds of reggae but m9st of this album was too stripped down and low tempo for my vibes. I dug 3 tracks particularly but the rest I couldn't connect with.

A few good songs, but nothing particularly noteworthy. Confused how thisade the list.

Money for Nothing is still a bitching track, even if it has aged poorly lyrically in several levels. Overall most of the album is very "meh" and I'm a bit oeroleced how this album was so well received.

5/5 iconic Album cover. 2/5 vibes for me. Money is really good but the rest became a bit of a blob of sound to me at times. Some really clever use if stereo audio, and some.prog sounds I know I like better in different albums from the period. A bit surprised by how little I liked what most would consider a Seminole album.

Fun instrumentation choices but boring vocals and beat on track 1, while also having some crucial lyrics I really honed in on. Strange juxtapositions. Could do to be more up tempo. Quickly afterwards, track after travk, ot becomes less remarkable. Until New Frontier hits and my mind starts seeing the weird future vision being painted again. This one is a conundrum as an album, I want to like it more than I do but mostly just want it to be over too.

Admitting to abusing your partner in the 4th track of a keystone album is a bold move. The album open strong with some of my favorite tracks by the band, which is kind of impressive considering I never really gelled with m9st of The Beatles catalogue, but kinda fades into a series 9f tracks that fade into the background and just sound like commercial jingles, in like the best way possible. Catchy ear worms that kinda don't matter or ask much of you as a listener. Really fun background music but hardly something that's engaging my attention on a deeper level. But then that last track really forces you to confront the lyrics. Pretty baller way to end TBH. 3/5

Pretty meh but I see the beginnings of a bunch of sounds that would evolve and become super successful on the radio during the mid to late 90s present on this album. Listenable but unremarkable. 3/5 cuz I can't give it 2.5/5

Damn, this is good jazz. I liked all the tracks on this surprisingly short album. Just four parts of one musical idea. Uhm, 5/5 with the caveat being that I'm not experienced in Jazz.

Will Smith sampled this album's opening track on Getting Jiggy Wit It. Pop, Soul, and Funk all at once is such a GOOD vibe. Groove to this daddy-o! Works best on an uptempo track IMO 4/5 cuz I can't give it 3.5/5

Really fu album that del8vers the kind of flow that I personally really vibe with in hip-hop, even if not all the lyrical content was up to current standards. ATCQ are undeniably makers of the game and I could listen to this era, this sound pretty much all day.

An overly long, drawn out, resounding "meeeeeeeeeeeeeehhhhhh", fine to have in the background but really not something I can sink my teeth into. Boomer shit. 2/5

A sound very outside my comfort zone, but so far I'm kinda digging it. There's just enough French used in the dialect be8ng spoken that I keep expecting to understand it more than I do. Hmmm, overall I'm not huge on it but it was a pleasant new experience. 3/5

A very elaborate at tines over wrought, album with a few gems on it and a unified, interesting, yet not wholly engaging sonic landscape. 3/5, I'd score it a bit higher if a few more tracks landed better with my mood/energy levels.

Solid early horrorcore rap vIbes, sounds like one of the two strains of rap that would go on to inform artists like G-Mo Skee (the other being the Psychopathic Records crew helped by ICP,) and inherently listenable with numerous flows and a dumb, dark sense of humour. A few tracks drug it down from a 5 to a 4 star album, cuz it got a little long and they were the subpar cuts, bit pretty near a perfect rating. Like a 4.25 or so.

There are individual parts of the music I like, but not the way it's all put t9gether. I wish I liked it more, because it sure as hell is intwresting... I just don't wanna listen to it.

Unrepentant 80s dance pop cheese platter.

Pretty much a perfect time album. Pra tically half the songs were successful singles back during my youth. Made her an international star. Easy to listen to, alternative but with huge crossover appeal.

Fun upfront, boring by the end. 3/5

I dunno why I liked it, but I kinda did. There's quality to the performance but it felt like something was missing, like they hadn't hit their top gear yet.

Some cool guitarists and some entertaining songs, particularly Cinnamon Girl, but overall it just kinda existed and did nothing special for me.

So, I du not know what to call this music, and it's certainly not an every day vibe, bit I REALLY like this. Dark, weird, kinda grating, but also catchy and captivating.

First few tracks I really enjoyed, but it sorta slipped from my attention after that even though I listened to the album a few times. Perfectly cromulent.

Pretty much exactly as I remember the experience upon buying it on CD, when it hits it hits perfectly, when it misses its booooooooring.

I really enjoyed this album, but parts of some if the tracks dipped in quality and engagement more than others. Overall great fun, but only a 4/5

Not bad, but not for me.

Pretty damn fun.

So middling as to almost not even exist.

I like it, and I see a lot if influences it clearly draws upon while I can also envision how it influenced a l0t 9f subsequent music. Pretty cool TBH.

There's nothing wrong with it, orher than it is meh and fades too much into the background. Only a couple tracks caught my attention. 2/5

No.

All the songs I like the best are a very talented band covering, arguably, at this stage of their careers, songs by better song writers. My usual feeling with the Beatles, generally underwhelming but comfortable and well executed rock and roll.

Not my favorite, but the cocaine song stuck in my head.

It's fine but too long, n9thing super s0ecial

Meh?

Like, it sounded good but nothing stuck in my brain.

When this music lands, it lands woth aplomb. When it misses, it's just kinda a soft flub.

It's alright.

Good but not great, thoroughly enjoyable but missing something to push ot further. 4/5

BORING.

A solid album that requires a bit of careful listening to fully appreciate, but it isn't as "hit"-ful as orher Beastie Boys albums.

I love this album.

It's fun, but it doesn't strike me as particularly special. Probably would listen to it again if someone suggested it.

A few really solid tracks mixed amid a pile of just plain average.

Not an every day listen, but solid and aggressive and moody music.

Really solid, if a bit formulaic, hard rock/hair metal from a peak moment in the genre's history. Easy listening for metalheads.

Pretty great, honestly.

Pretty solid and fun Christmas album.

Less mumble, more gravel. Less folk, more blues. Overall a better lusten8ng experience than I usually have with Ol' Bob here.

Meh soft rock with longing vibes. Didn't really connect with me, didn't make me wanna turn it off. Generally unimpressed.

It's not bad, but there's a reason you only know Song #2.

Not bad, bit reggae always has a cap for me. At least at this stage of my life. It doesn't move the needle as much as for so many people I know wh9 got into it in high school, when I was getting into Visual Kei.

Some fun stuff but oddly less immediately engaging than I expect from Sir Elton.

I honestly cannot day why, precisely, this album landed so well with me. Maybe it was my mood. Bit the poppy, sultry, dark, multilingual qualities all sorta worked t9gether to make me really dig this. Another day, another time, it may have fared worse.

Pleasant but unremarkable, a few songs t9 enjoy but it kinda disappeared most if the time.

I didn't know I l9ved the Violent Femmes this much, but I did hear them a bunch on my favorite radio station as a tren. Listening to this album made me realize it wasn't just the radio played songs I dig, but the whole vibe.

Pass time Paradise is the most confusing song to hear when you forgot that Coolio samled it. Album 8s fun but m9stly not my speed. It's also REALLY l9ng for what it is... too damn long.

Almost perfect.

Not a bad listening experience, at all, bit like many other albums, it did little to hook me.

A nice voice and some great tracks, bit as an album i found it kinda up and down.

Way better than I ex0ected from this act, k8nda ca7ght ne by surprise, and if a few tracks were better it'd be a 5.

Nice and droney, but nothing grabbed me hard.

A lot of fun in a small package, several songs could be looped endlessly, while a few are just there. 4/5

Fun, chill album. Definitely worth listening to once, and a few s9ngs will forever be in my overall shuffle. I'd score 8t 3.5 if I could do half stars.

Fun zone out music, but I don't think I'd return to ot frequently.

This album made me feel like I was on drugs, and not always on a good trip. But I found it fascinating. As a one off listen with a few tracks I may revisit, it's gonna score fairly high for uniqueness and catching my interest.

Way better than it has any right to be.

Not really something i vpuld jive with when i listened, small chamce ill g9 back to a few tracks.

I tried twice and i just couldn't get into it.

Really good but way more mellow and mid tempo than I expect from my usual pu k tastes.

A little too indie for me to enjoy every song at max level, but this was a solid romp of an album.

Pretty damn fun, and with one of the best radio singles of my youth no less.

My excitement drips off towards the end, bit a near perfect proto hair metal album.

A rare 2hr+ sebum that manages to keep my attention and not lose it f9r the VAST majority is an absolute oddity, and here, Billy Corgan, iowner of the NWA, and the rest of his clearly fiercely talented bandmates del8ver harder than i ever expected. I knew I liked the Pumpkins' singles a good vit, but I never really knew how much 9f just l8ie THEM. Woulda been a 4.5 if half stars were an option, but I'm rounding up cuz rounding down feels wrong.

A far more enjoyable album than the previous one on this list from this band that I got,but still not the kind of music I'll usually listen to. 2.5 but I'm rounding up for kindness.

A few tracks in, without look at the track list, a song came on and I was l8ke "this is the Cars guy right?" But it wasn5 Cars, then the album got different and weird and fun, theeeeen "Cars" cane on. I had fun. Good synth sound that set in place a lot fo vibes that evolved into music I really dig today.

The % of banging tracks on this British metal masterpiece is extreme. Even the worst track on the album is still a catchy, engaging metal track. So close to a 5 that it's gonna be a 5. Probably like a 4.8 or such if i had fractions to work with.

Some really great singles and standout tracks mixed amidst a bunch of stuff I couldn't remember with a gun to my head.

Not actively unpleasant to listen to, but incredibly boring to spend that much time on.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzz.... 1/5

Pretty damn fun punk album. 4.5 but rounded up instead of down. Lots if great energy meaningful lyrics, and a kinetic pace.

There's a lot of merit to the argument that Joni Mitchell is a brilliant singer-songwriter. However, for me, this album lacks anything resembling an "edge," it's all so mellow and long and slow. Nothing to sink my teeth into, so it just washes over me.

I liked this psychedelic, world music 8nstrumental album abput 300% more than I ex0ected i would when the first track first started.

Only one track half grabbed my attention. Maybe on subsequent attempts I'd get mire from it, but Sw8ft has never been my cup of tea.

I listened to this several times, and I wanted to like it more than i fid. I couldn't quite place my f8nger on what was not connecting with me. But it feels like so many songs are familiar to me, but because they are better performed by other artists. Not fundamentally bad, bit also did nothing to hold my interest beyond the mystery of why I didn't like it.

I've really enjoyed Nick Cave albums I have heard from much earlier in his career, but this album was so soft and slow and boring that the entire thing passed and I enjoyed literally none of it. Nothing I have been used to hearing from this act was present on this album.

Pleasant but mostly unremarkable, the first few tracks hooked me more than the rest if the album. Hard to say anything more meaningful than "middle of the road."

Pleasant but not super interesting very much a product of its time.

A band I kind of expected I'd like more than I did, and aso7nd on this album that is a lot less experimental and groovy than I expected from the release year. Underwhelmed but not disappointed.

Few have ever made the guitar 'speak' like Hendrix, but a lot of songs on this album are certainly far from essential listening.

For a 39 minute album it sire feels lioe a 2 hour slog to get though.

I really enjoyed the psychedelia and melancholy, and anti-war messaging of this album. Not all bangers but a lot if surprisingly enjoyable tracks.

I particularly like the song The Wizard, but this album doesn't have the refined voice of other Sabbath albums, and doesn't have as many tracks that feel tineless like other albums. A great moment in musical history but far from perfect.

A fantastic dark, moody, dance, synthy techno album, verging on all the qualities that make Dark Synthwave a powerhouse genre today, just a bit earlier than id ever expected. I liked, quite literally, every song on this album.

The White Stripes rule when a track lands, absolutely fresh vibes and a unique alt sound that few, if any, can replicate. Shame only about a 3rd of the album feels like they're pulling out their best material.

If Funk and Techno had a baby that was adopted by The Lords of Acid, you'd get this album.

I've tried to listen t9 this album several times, and it always starts out str9ng but by the end I've just zoned out and lost interest.

Talented musicianship, boring songs, okay recordings. 2/5

Basically felt like I was listening to ioe long grungey mildy interesting but not outstanding song for a whole album. 3/5

80s pop mixing synth and rock guitars just feels so right. Probably a 4.5/5 cuz not every track slaps, but it's too good to round down. Infectious fun.
