Sigur Rós

2/5

What is this? Listened to the same song over and over again. I'm not a fan of the dreamy vocals or whatever this is. I spent 9 months trying to get out of the womb and this album is just like "gooo back in!!!"

Public Enemy

4/5

Very good. Just not my cup of tea.

Wild Is The Wind

Nina Simone

3/5

Chill AF. Too chill for me. I can't appreciate the soothing vocals or whatever. I'm more of a rock n roll oh yeah yeah kinda guy. Debating whether this album is a 3 or a 4 or even a 2. I'm probably gonna settle on a two. My two faves were definitley "Why Keep On Breaking My Heart" and "I Love your Lovin' Ways" Check those out if you're into more upbeat stuff. Those two songs are what saved this album from my dastardly 2 star rating. NEVER FORGET HOW TO LOVE!

Dig Your Own Hole

Music For The Jilted Generation

The Prodigy

3/5

Jilted is an adjective for someone who just got off a long coke binge and has ground their teeth to stubs. I don't do cocaine. 3/5, would've been a 2 but I have a soft spot for this music

Metallica

5/5

Ahhhh fuck..... METALLICA HERE WE GOOOO!!!

The Clash

4/5

When I saw this album, I immediately thought to myself, "Great. British poopheads today." BUT... they were pretty damn good. Even if you have a clandestine hatred for the clash and other early british punks or whatever, this album has some pretty rhymical songs that are groovy, baby! Don't pay any attention to the fact that you can't make out the words, it's GROOVY, babY!

Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere

Neil Young & Crazy Horse

4/5

Neil Young is a fat baby for taking his songs off of Spotify. Obviously I don't mean that, I'm just annoyed I'm going to have to listen to his album on youtube(the platform on which Joe Rogan is actually relevant). Besides being a big fat stupid fucking baby, Neil Young has a reputation for being Neil Young. The name overshadows his music; I've never actually heard any of his songs before last month. Although I have heard 'Old Man' before and I'm excited to hear his other songs which are probably pretty good too. So the album was very groovy, baby! The first two songs had excellent guitar riffs, very shaggalicious! Nice album all around.

Astral Weeks

Van Morrison

2/5

Meh

You're Living All Over Me

Dinosaur Jr.

Butthole Surfers are like white noise

CHIC

4/5

Disco is dead but I'm not! My feet keep dancing! Dancing, Dancing! To be honest, the songs get a little repetitive so I'll say 3.8/5

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band

Beatles

5/5

What a fluid album! Great stuff.

Illinois

Sufjan Stevens

Trout Mask Replica

Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band

Massive Attack

Deep Purple

4/5

If I Should Fall From Grace With God

The Pogues

3/5

I can't tell the difference between them and any other irish rock whatever band. It's not bad, but it's just not exceptional in anyway. More likely however, my impatience and lack of emotional connection to music is what explains my mediocre rating.

Ritual De Lo Habitual

Jane's Addiction

4/5

I've never really liked Jane's Addiction due to the almost screeching voice of the signer. Even then, I can't help but to enjoy Been Caught Stealing; the musical quality of it overpowers my distaste for the singer's voice. I'll have to give this one a four just because they're pretty damn good, although for myself this album is like a 1.7 maybe a 2.4 on a good day.

Band On The Run

Paul McCartney and Wings

5/5

Paul McCartney is a musical genius and this album shows it. The melodies are so varied and the music is never bland because of it. From Mrs. Vanderbilt to nineteen hundred and eighty five, this album just rocks on. The album has one of the most delicious licks on the guitar ever on the blues section of Band On the Run.

Rattus Norvegicus

The Stranglers

5/5

Boom! Album opens off groovy, baby! Rock n Roll, let's gooo!! The album has some great metaphors within the lyrics, little double meanings that increase the listening pleasure. I was surprised at how much i enjoyed this album, I really thought I would lose interest as it moved on, but my attention was retained through till the end. Great album.

Beautiful Freak

Eels

4/5

Novocain for my soul is super dope. The album is a rhythmic melody.

Psychocandy

The Jesus And Mary Chain

1/5

what'd they say?

Microshift

Hookworms

3/5

Loveless

My Bloody Valentine

3/5

Opens off strong, but the next few songs: what is that? Got me using colons and everything. I'm not really into the whole white-noise-emotional-circle-jerk kinda thing, it's the musical equivalent of praising modern art(splashes and slashes).

Man... This album was golden. There's a lot of great songs and each one is different from the last. It has some beautiful vocals supporting a lot of the tracks and some great humor spread throughout. Usually I get a bit fatigued listening to entire albums after about 30 minutes, but I was able to listen through this whole album no problem. Great great great stuff.

Group Sex

Circle Jerks

4/5

This is the album that got me into punk rock. It's good for an angsty teen: it's fast and it's angry and it's vulgar. It's not much more though.

Dusty In Memphis

Dusty Springfield

3/5

Not awful, but I'm not into it. She's pretty good at singing. I wonder what it would be like to be good at singing. I think I would sing about stuff if I was good -- can you imagine the pleasure of being able to produce consistent harmony with your voice?

Bad Company

3/5

There's been a dull, pervasive melancholy eating away at me recently. Conversley, while I listen to this album I find that there's an equally dull -- but slightly less pervasive -- rock-an-roall go-get-em have-good-sex sound. I thought this was a bit sensual: "Well, when I want to rock steady, yeah I know I got to get ready Close my eyes and let myself go"

My Life In The Bush Of Ghosts

Brian Eno

1/5

"Hmm... Human Music... I like it!" There's millions of albums out there, and this was one of the 1001 that I just had to listen to before I died? This is an example of the editors of the list jacking eachother off for knowing random obscure albums.

Rum Sodomy & The Lash

My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy

Kanye West

5/5

I looked up "beautiful dark twisted fantasy reddit" to see what people thought about this album. The consensus was almost unanimously in favor of this album: most people said it was great, some went as far as to say it's the best album ever. With some skepticism, I started listening. I was not dissapointed. This was really, really good. A lot of albums start off good or OK and turn pretty crappy as it goes on, but this album just got better as it went on. I'm seriously so impressed. Every song except Who Will Survive In America is now in my liked songs.

Blue Lines

Massive Attack

Fun House

What a phat bore. I only midly liked 1970 from the album. Iggy Pop scares me

Talking Book

Stevie Wonder

4/5

Moving Pictures

Rush

5/5

I always thought he was saying "today's tom sawyer has a mean mean bride" "catch the mist, catch the myth / Catch the mystery, catch the drift" would translate to "?? the ??, blast(?) the ?? \ Fight the bullets, catch the ??"

Mr. Tambourine Man

The Byrds

3/5

Uninspiring, but relaxed. Maybe if I was born in the 60s -- or maybe if I had more time to care -- this album would be my favorite. But, I was born in 2003 and I'm studying engineering, so instead, this album sits at three stars.

Elephant

The White Stripes

5/5

"Jack white doesn't have to list nyquist plots in his sheets to sell his resumes!" Well I do! So fuck him, and fuck you too!

Let England Shake

PJ Harvey

1/5

One of the few albums I couldn't finish.

Broken English

Marianne Faithfull

2/5

This reminds me of rich white girls posting on their instagram stories, and then going on to consider themselves activists because of it. Like damn, marianne, u taking urself too seriously.

Damaged

Black Flag

3/5

I don't really like it, but damn I feel like it's a sin to give Black Flag less than 3 stars. When I was younger I tried to like them.... but damn they suck! Same thing with Fugazi, lol. I have 90 songs saved by them, and almost all of them were saved because they didn't suck. I did the same thing with Don Delillo, and read like 5 of his books... damn they sucked!

Music in Exile

Songhoy Blues

3/5

I started to get bored towards the end, probably cuz I couldn't understand a damn thing they were saying. Imagine how bored you would be listening to Johnny Cash's "Folsom Prison Blues" if you didn't understand a damn word he was saying. It's not bad, but to keep my interest there's gotta be crazy merit in the instrumental -- something like Stevie Ray Vaughan or Beethoven. Regardless, my favorite tracks were Soubour and Nick. Least favorite track was Mali.

5/5

The first time listening to this album was during my freshman year of college while walking back to my dorm room after a random forest party. My friend wanted to show me a song, and he put the first track to this album: a 20 minute masterpiece. I would've been annoyed but this song rocks. I've listened to it so many times since then. Obvious 5 stars for me. Some guy was whispering in my ear during track 3

Adele is a god among mortals. How anyone can sing like that is beyond me. "All I ask is that if this is my last night with you, hold me like more than just a friend. Give me a memory I can use. Take me by the hand while we do what lovers do. It matters how it ends, because what if I never love again?" God, I'm so heartbroken. I miss her so much :(

I knew about this album from the TV show "Silicone Valley." "You Suffer" is a good song to put in between songs in an album to remind you a new song has started
