1/5
This has GOT to be a joke. One'est one out of five I've ever given and I hope the creator of this list has a really shitty day today.
You simply can't seriously justify putting something this shit on a list like this. 522 albums in, it makes me want to stop because its a waste of time. I could have gone my whole life never hearing it.
When my worst enemy goes to hell, I hope this is what they have to listen to on repeat.
Matter of fact, whoever made this list should listen to this album on repeat if they think it's so fucking great. Maybe then they'll think twice about replacing it with something different, preferably not from the 80s

I know this guy's talented, and the songwriting isn't bad, but man I wish 80's production like this could just be wiped from the earth never to be heard again. Honestly takes any existing credibility to a song and just fucks it up once I heard those stupid-ass gated drums and cheesy synths. As other users said, who the fuck thought we'd come back to this and think it was actually well done? Talent like this deserves better, and at this point in this list I've had it with the 80s BS, I'm not playing nice anymore. 1/5.

For someone with a name as cool as Elvis Costello, his music just really falls short. He is the diet pepsi of Joe Strummer, just no piss and vinegar.

Have obviously heard some of the hits, and as a whole liked the album better than expected. However, I can't give this one more than 3/5 because Use Somebody has to be the most dead, dry, aimlessly written song that somehow radio stations still think people want to hear right now. I've been waiting a long time to say my piece about that fucking song and am glad I finally got a chance to do it

Painful. And not in a good way. Boring. Sounds like dracula took a bunch of quaaludes. I will never trust that anyone could possibly enjoy this.
They seem to also be responsible for influencing a lot of shoegazey british droning that came after it, and I really don't understand the draw. Anyone that says they like this has to be just feeling pretentious or something.

Great mixing and guitar tones, I love the sound, and I want to like this more but if I hear Black Hole Sun ONE.MORE.TIME on the radio I will pull my hair out.
Also, I respect Chris Cornell's vocal talent, I know what he does with his voice is superhuman but does it actually sound....good? Sometimes it seems to be on a spectrum of drunken marblemouth man to screaming banshee. Again, no disrespect but sometimes it kind of reminds me of those awful national anthem renditions where they'll hold the same note for 2 minutes to flex their talent and everyone just eats it up but it's actually really lame and obnoxious.
Idk, just my piece.

I like to think I have a diverse and accepting taste in music, but this is just peak trash, I have no words. At least I know what I don't like. I'd rather listen to 49 minutes of nails on a chalkboard because at least it would provoke some sort of artistic response but this?? Dude sounds like he'd rather be dead than continue singing!
This better be the last time I ever have to listen to this fucking band voluntarily. I can't fathom being so pretentious that you can tell yourself you enjoy this.

Just a reminder, when you listen on spotify, it merges a second album as part of this one, but the original is only the first 8 tracks. I would recommend you only listen to those 8 and not subject yourself to 1hr 15mins of this one and move on to the next

I made a promise that the next overrated album from this clown that came up on this list would be an immediate 1 star. Absolutely not worthy of more than one album on here, and now we're at what, 4?!?
Endless yapping and whining, not memorable at all. A lot of bands in a similar genre and time are great, but every single Elvis Costello song I've heard, even if it starts interesting, turns beige by the 53 second mark.
Regardless, this is me keeping my promises. 1/5

This has GOT to be a joke. One'est one out of five I've ever given and I hope the creator of this list has a really shitty day today.
You simply can't seriously justify putting something this shit on a list like this. 522 albums in, it makes me want to stop because its a waste of time. I could have gone my whole life never hearing it.
When my worst enemy goes to hell, I hope this is what they have to listen to on repeat.
Matter of fact, whoever made this list should listen to this album on repeat if they think it's so fucking great. Maybe then they'll think twice about replacing it with something different, preferably not from the 80s

Not good at all. This whole "faux-french" bs is asinine - it gives the idea that this should sound something like Soulwax or Daft Punk, but really it just sounds like a shitty tribute to shitty 80s music.
Mostly unremarkable, although disco II disco was completely enraging. But for only having one enraging song it gets 2 instead of 1

It takes a lot for me to not be able to finish an album, but I absolutely rage quit this one during Jig of Life. So, so, so bad and cheesy and honestly annoys me that people enjoy it.
I suppose if I can say anything good about this, I admire some more recent artists that claim to have taken influence from this. To see any kind of beauty and enjoyment in an album like this takes incredible talent.

Well that's 0/4, I think i got the point after the first one. Honestly, might as well just be a fucking author at this point. Dude wants to always tell his weird little stories but he just sings them so horribly and the music just seems like a second thought. Also, I can't shake the vibe that he would be the least fun person at parties. Like wearing a trench coat to a theme park, the antithesis of fun and sucking the life out of everything. Maybe there's a musical theatre somewhere that would entertain this nonsense but it wont be the theatre of my earbuds ever again. 1/5

PJ Harvey
1/5
The snare drum on this album sounds exactly like In Utero, I suppose makes sense with Steve Albini and all, and I thought that was cool.
But that's about all I thought was cool about this. It's that lethal mix on the linear scale of boring and annoying. I want to like PJ Harvey for the vibe, but everything about this album was simply awful
Tom Waits

The Birthday Party
1/5
Well I couldnt find this full album anywhere but did listen to the title track to see what I was in for. Considering all the additional endless Nick Cave shit this list has forced me to listen to, I'm gonna do the right thing and not bother listening to this one. Prejudice? Yeah, maybe, but after 953 albums with more being like this than less, I dont give a fuck

This sucked. I got a lot of nick cave the past month which has been awful and it seems like this guy kinda inspired him. Total garbage

The Residents
4/5
I never want to listen to this again, that was deeply unsettling. But given that's probably what they were after, they did a hell of a job with it. I mean, if Elvis Costello and Nick Cave purposely made albums to bore the hell out of you, I'd give those higher scores too.
