Popular Reviews

This was fine, I guess. But it also has Kanye West on it so to hell with it.

I don't get Elliot Smith. The music is fine, but I don't see why it would be on this list. Every song is completely forgettable.

This is just noise and screaming.

I couldn't finish this, it's bland mush.

The songs were short, so you don't need to listen to them for very long...

The songs were short, so you don't need to listen to them for very long...

I couldn't find this album anywhere.

This is awful.

Kanye is a racist.

This is just noise and screaming.

I don't think I've been as genuinely sad to get to the end of an album as I was for this album. It is wonderful.

This is probably the greatest prog-rock album of all time.

I'm not a pop fan, but this crushes anything that comes out of the North American/ UK pop scene.

Nothing really of note, very much background music.

This is just garbage noises

This was fine, I guess. But it also has Kanye West on it so to hell with it.

I couldn't finish this, it's bland mush.

This is fine, I guess, but I don't see what it's contributed to be on this list.

This album was okay, mostly fairly bland, but there were some solid tracks on it, like Winter In. But overall, not really impressive.

This was okay, but it sounded like less emphatic versions of his father's work. I don't feel the passion I feel when listening to Fela Kuti.

The second song on this album has some intentional skipping mixed in. IT sounds awful.

This is a pretty solid punk offering. Nothing special, just fast-paced and fun.

If this album was only 40 mins, it would have been 4 stars, but this thing overstayed it's welcome twice.

Pretty solid for a pop act and an indie act. I had low hopes but this was actually pretty good.

This album was so bad my cats left the room.

This feels like David Bowie for babies. It's fine but not spectacular.

I was excited to see this album, but I was still blown away. It's so well paced. All of the hard hitting songs are preceded by something a little softer, so they all hit really hard when they arrive. This is the first time I've come in with high expectations and been pleasantly surprised

Cars was good, and I don't remember anything else from the album. Completely forgettable.

Racist

It's probably a 2 for me, but it didn't overstay. It's welcome, and it was really cohesive as an album, so it's +1 for that.

I like the message, but the music doesn't do it for me.

This entire album is full of wet farts. It's gross.

Wtf was this? Completely discordant.

Surprisingly good and a little bit goth.

This was alright background music, nothing exceptional but solid all the way through.

Solid blues-rock record, I'm not a huge Dylan fan, but this is good.

Fine, nothing special

Completely forgettable. I don't remember a single song.

The platonic ideal of hardcore punk. This is exactly what I think of when I think punk.

Started out really poorly but the last 3rd was excellent. Makes it hard to rate, I'll never listen to the album again, but I'll probably pick some songs out and give them a go.

A lot like Bowie, some quality work. I really enjoyed Voilence.

Elvis, bland, whatever.

I'll probably never listen to this, but it's great, been sampled in a lot of places and feels really familiar.

This is like being yelled at by a 13 year old. Why is it on the list?

I really don't understand this. Why is it on the list?

This album was really good, but should have been split into 3 albums it was way too long. DNF

This is all really good, but it's also all essentially the same song. I can see that someone could give this a 5 if that sound was really what they were looking for. I could also see someone giving this a 1 if that sound isn't what they like. For me, it's a 3.

Standard disco, nothing impressive but still enjoyable.

The most forgettable album so far. I listened to it, some of it twice. I couldn't even tell you what it sounded like.

This is just noise and songs about pedophiles.

This is another in the DNF club, I don't know what is going on here, but they released a hip-hop album during the time hip-hop was the most musical and sucked all of the skill and talent out of it. If I could rate this less than one star, I would.

Really good, but about 25 minutes too long

Mostly mid except that one song.

Honestly, I love the Kinks' later work. This album was just really bland and there isn't a single song I'd want to hear again.

This is like a punk album, but the band isn't angry at anything.

I wasn't expecting a country album, and I wasn't expecting it to be so good. I hear a lot of newer artists in this album, so it was clearly pretty influential.

Started off terrible, got bad by the end.

This is probably a 3 but only because of a couple of songs, so I'm giving it a 2 for not holding up all the way through.

Actually, it was okay. Not something I’d go out and listen to again, but if it came up on a playlist, I wouldn’t skip any of the songs. Everyone could play their instruments, and the singer didn’t sound like he had a mouth full of novocaine. It was more like an unpolished rock album than hipster indie.

Well, at least it was identifiable as music, which is pretty good for Brian.

There were some really good tracks on this album, but there was also a song that sounded like someone assaulting a chicken.

This album was awful, but I'm still glad I listened to it. These guys did manage to turn a bunch of industrial noise into something that is undeniably music.

Cool fusion of bad british indie rock and some really solid Indian music. Not something I'd listen to again, but I'm glad I went there.

The volume levels are all over the place, but the work is quality and feels weirdly punk inspired. Could have been a lot better with probably less refinement.

I don't know what I liked about this album, but I really enjoyed it. Easy to listen to and good background music.

What are Their Names is incredible. The rest of the album is solid.

There are some 5s on this album, but there are also some 2s. A very strong 3.

Bland and boring.

One hit, and a bunch of bland garbage.

This really isn't my type of music, but it's a solid album. Weirdly, and I think for the first time in over 900 albums, this one is too short. I'm giving it a 4, but it's probably my weakest 4 so far.

This is truly awful, probably the worst I've had in 911 albums.

This sounds like someone is trying to play 3 hours of jazz, but only had an hour of studio time to record.

Solid and more old school than The Who's later work. It was good to hear more of their origins.

I don't get Elliot Smith. The music is fine, but I don't see why it would be on this list. Every song is completely forgettable.

Another bland album, seems pretty pointless

Starts great, ends great, really mushy in the middle. Faron Young and the Faron Truckin' Mix were really good; everything else was fine.

This was great, I think it's the only album with skits that I've really loved.

This would have been a 4, but there is an annoying dripping noise in the background of one track that made it unlistenable.

Too long, probably could have been a 4, but it wore on after the 1h mark.

Wow, every track on this album was solid. Although I like prog, Yes has always been a band that I did not like. Most albums are pretty weak overall, but I think this one was solid end-to-end.

Kinda cheesy

This was both terrible and boring.
