Already listened. Imo very overrated Outkast project. Not a fan of the very industrial/experimental sound they used in comparision to their other albums. I love a few songs tho like B.O.B, Spaghetti Junction and So Fresh So Clean. 7/10
This was a good album, Frank Sinatra is a great singer. There weren't any bad songs on the album however basically every song sounded the same and from what I've heard i'd assume the rest of Sinatra's discography sounds the same. I still very much enjoyed the album nonetheless. 8/10
Joni Mitchell builds and breaks a relationship right in front of you in the span of 40 minutes while doing some amazing singing and guitar playing 8.5/10
I get the cultural significance of this album and how important it was at the time but the production is so shit. There isn't a single beat on this album that I enjoyed. I am a fan of Public Enemy's rapping but the production completely ruins this album for me. 4/10
I enjoyed this album slightly more than It Takes a Nation but that's not saying much since I wasn't a fan of that album. I think the production on this album is a lot more enjoyable. The lyrical content is basically the same on both albums. The production on this was reminiscent of all of the fun boom bap that came out in that era however not much of that boom bap era has aged very well. Public Enemy are culturally significant for the time they were in but I don't understand the need to put more then one Public Enemy album in this list, or maybe i'm just mad that i've gotten Public Enemy albums two days in a row.
My enjoyment: 6/10
Need to be on this list: 5/10
This album sounded way too generic. It had a few good songs and the band's chemistry is good but overall this album was quite boring.
My rating: 5/10

Old people music but not the good kind
4/10
Album was decent, Nick’s voice is a bit annoying and the album was very long but the instrumentation from the Bad Seeds was great.
My personal enjoyment: 6/10
Need to be on this list: 8/10
Pretty good album, band had good energy. For some reason some of the songs sounded a lot quiter than others. 7/10
I didnt listen to this shit, why is this even on the list
Quite a good consistent album, a few mediocre songs. This album is good but I really don’t see it as one of the best albums of its time. Album cover is also horrific.
My rating - 7.5/10
Need to be on this list - 9/10
This album is great, it’s so funky and Femi gives off such good energy. Not really any bad songs on this album. Last song was a bit out of pocket even for ‘95.
My rating: 8.5/10
Need to be on this list: 7/10
Decent, John's solo work definitely doesn't compare to any of The Beatle's projects. I'm yet to hear any of Paul's solo work but i'm hoping it's better than this.
My rating: 6.5/10
Need to be on this list: 9/10
This album is great. The whole band has such a great energy and there isn't a dull moment in the entire album. My only complaint would be that there's 21 songs in this 35 minute album.
My rating: 9/10

Album had a pretty cool atmosphere and this is my first time hearing this album but a lot of songs on this album were shit. Cover goes unbelievably hard though

Humorous ringtone song
Didnt fell like listening to this but the artist is a pedo and i didn;t like the first 30 seconds of the first song so 2/10 (would be 1/10 but the album cover is funny)
Overall this album was fine but very frontloaded. This album had very strange sequencing. This album goes from mediocre 80s pop to instrumental jazz to more mediocre 80s pop to rap then finishes with some more mediocre 80s pop. I still enjoyed this album more than I probably should've though. 6.5/10
Perfect album, each song on this album takes you through a journey of some of the best jazz ever made. 10/10
London Calling better. 5/10
From a big Wilco fan, this album was one of the most boring things iv'e ever listened to. 5/10
Ok album, sounds like a lot of the basic experimental rock that came out around the time. A few good songs on this album but it definitely would've been better if a few songs were removed and the album was cut down to 40 minutes.
Judging the album just from the cover I thought I would hate it but I was pleasantly surprised that this album was actually decent. 6.5/10
Pretty good
Definitely not their best
Probably the best album that i've discovered from this list so far
Pretty fun, sounded a bit like another album I got on this list by The Style Council. Overall 5/10
Album goes very hard, a few skips but most of it is great
Depressing album, great end to Bowie's legendary career. This album blends so many genres and sounds very industrial. Definitely need to relisten to this album. With a few relistens it could easily be a 9/10 but for now 8/10
Pretty boring, lead singers voice was beyond irritating. Could only get a few songs into the album before giving up. 4/10
Another great album i've discovered from this list. The production on this album was good considering it came out in '73, it's a bit bloated particularly near the end but overall I thought this album was great.
8.4/10
Started off quite strong but got pretty repetitive and boring as the album went on
Wasn't bothered to download this album onto Spotify so I listened to Harvest Moon instead. Harvest Moon is great very good, Neil's voice is great.
8/10 for Harvest Moon
Thought I would enjoy this album a lot more than I actually did. I'm a big fan of Eno's work especially on Remain in Light. I didn't enjoy a good few of the songs on this album but I respect Eno for experimenting with sounds even though there are a few pop tracks on this album that weren't bad at all.
Overall 7/10
Wasn't a big fan when I first listened so I wasn't really bothered to relisten. I think this album has a lot of filler but at it's peak it's some great early jazz/conscious rap. De la orgy didn't have to exist though.
7/10
I’m a big Tribe Called Quest fan and I’ve somehow never listened to this album so I’m glad this list inspired me to. A lot of the production on this album sounds a lot less similar to Tribe’s jazz production (except for a few songs) which took a way from my enjoyment a good bit. Overall this is a good album that I’m glad I listened to, not top 3 Tribe though
7.5/10
Liked this album a lot more than I thought I would, actual interesting music and not just fun chanty tunes like Abba's more popular discography.
8/10
Band had great energy, there was no way this album could’ve been bad with Bowie production, still first few songs didn’t interest me that much and I found the album to be more backloaded. Overall 7.5 and I would like to hear more from this band
Old people music
4/5
My schizophrenia is getting worse by the day
One of the few grunge bands where the lead singer can actually sing where the lead singer can actually sing. This album was great, all of the tracks were good. This is another great album I probably wouldn't have listened to without this list.
9/10
Happy I finally have a reason to listen to this album. The production on this album was quite 50/50 but the better fifty was some of the best production on any of Ghostfaces work. Suprised that this album is on this list instead of Ironman and Supreme Clientele which are two clearly superior albums, this is still good though and Ghostface is one of the best rappers of all time.
4.2/5
Sex lmao
Curtis
A few great songs on here then a lot of dad/country rock sounding songs
3/5
I enjoyed this album, it's not really like anything I've heard before. It blends shoegaze and pop and the singer sounds like a Midwest emo singer. The first song was great, the orchestration was very good especially the string instruments that are prominently good throughout the album. I still felt that a lot of the album lacked what the first song and a few others had in emotions and just felt kind of bland. Overall I give this album a 7.5/10 and this is one of the few artists I have found from this list that I actually like.
Honestly wasn't paying much attention while listening to this, I liked the last two songs a lot but I definitely need to relisten as well as listen to the entire Velvet Underground catalogue. From the first listen I give this an 8/10
I enjoyed this quiet a lot. I'm pretty new to Sade and the only other album i've listened to is Love Deluxe. I much preferred how this album took the jazz rnb route as I think it fits Sade's voice really well. This album had some great sax playing and solos but some of the songs didn't go the jazz route and I would've preferred if it stayed consistent throughout the album
8/10
This album has some great riffs and impressive guitar playing but most of the songs sound the same. The album was also dragged out way too long. This could've easily been forty minutes and it would have still had the same effect on me. With other genres I normally wouldn't have a problem with repeated riffs and chord progressions but when I'm listening to thrash or metal I want to be stimulated the entire time and not have to listen to an 8 minute instrumental song and this is coming from a big jazz fan. Every song on here is good and I would enjoy each song on it's own on separate occasions but when listening to this as a project the repetitiveness stands out to me
I give this 7.5/10, would probably rate it higher after a relisten but I most likely won't for a good while.
In this album Radiohead take the techniques they used in Kid A and make a more rock oriented album while still using synthesiser and electronic instruments. This album is far less ambient and experimental than Kid A but it still stands out in Radioheads discography
8/10
One of my least favourite things an artist can do in music is have the first song of the album drastically better than everything else on the album making you expect a fun album full of crazy guitar and piano solos (this happens to some extent but not even half as good as the first song). Jim's voice starts to get annoying by the second song and this album starts going in a more country orientated direction which I am not a fan of. Overall 7/10, realistically never going to listen or even think about this album again unless I hear the title track in my playlist in which case I will thoroughly enjoy that 9 minutes and 50 seconds
Great funk album, singing was on point and production was great especially for an album that came out last 80s. It got slow at times but for the most part it was very consistent.
8.4/10
This is some great experimental/hard rock. Manic Street Preachers take on some serious topics here like prostitution, white supremacy, anorexia and depression while still giving some amazing guitar playing. This is another great album I wouldnt have found if it wasn't for this list. 4.4/5
I knew this album was going to be hardcore getting into it but nothing like what it actually was. This album was so ahead of it's time with the soundscapes and use of electronics. I could hardly process this album within a single listen
One of the most overrated albums ever. People who say this is one of the best hip hop albums ever are either A - Racist or B - Haven't listened to rap outside of Snoop Dogg, Eminem and Macklemre in which case calling this the best rap album would be reasonable. Obviously some great songs on here but some of the lyrical material and production have just aged horribly. Barely anything Eminem speaks about here is relevant today and most of it is just super edgy, offensive or weirdly sexual
7/10 just because this album has high highs and influenced a lot of mainstream hip hop at the time
Capitalism bad
This is the first country album I've ever listened to and I'm glad it is. Johnny's voice in this album is so clear especially for a live album which makes it easy to follow along with his amazing songwriting and storytelling. You can hear that Johnny is happy to be singing to an audience that really appreciates his music with the amount of passion he uses and the amount of fun he's having.
9/10
Absolute peak, band has such good energy. Not a single miss on this album and every single riff is absolutely legendary
4.8/5
This album is very impressive considering the time it came out in but I don't think that it has aged very well especially considering the amount of superior music alike that has came out since this album's release. Still though, this album has some great riffs and energy but does suffer from repetitiveness and I did find myself getting bored at times while listening.
7/10
Yes this album is repetitive but man is it fun. The band has such good energy throughout the whole thing and almost all of the songs hit. My biggest complaint though would be how short the songs were. I would’ve been fine if they made this ten minutes longer just to finish the rest of the songs and add a verse or two to them
8/10
Talking heads but funky
4.3/5
Perfection
Great singer, didn't really feel like a live album
7.7/10
Peak of rap
Lovely voice and guitar, nothing mind blowing
Women
Great album but highly overrated. This was released before Radiohead had their style and because of this it falls under the category of "generic indie rock from the 90s". Nothing wrong with this album at all and in fact some very high highs but it just doesn't stand out among the rest of their amazing discography
Pretty good noisy rock. Tracklist seemed pretty loosely ordered especially with the last two songs. Overall 7.5/10 (an extra .5 because of the cover)
This album had such good energy throughout the whole thing. Musically this album didn't change much throughout the thing but it still managed to keep my attention to whole way through. Not a bad song on this.
4.5/5
Blur
Very intriguing album but too much for me to process with just one listen. Not like anything I have heard before with it's changes in styles and disgusting (but great) vocals
https://youtu.be/B2JHChJpG_A
This album is proof enough not to judge an album off the reviews on this site because this album absolutely fucks
This album blew my mind. Almost 80 minutes and 43 tracks. So many unique riffs and styles put into such short amounts of time made for an album that had my attention for the full run. That bass player as well was something else. He managed to hold his ground the entire album switching between rhythm and melody. Although not every song was perfect (would be impossible with 43 songs) nothing on it felt unnecessary or took away from the experience
5/5
Mid, mid, mid. Cover would be sick for a grunge album though
Pleasantly surprised with this
Lyrical and musical masterpiece
Dude sure can sing
Not going to pretend like I didn't enjoy this just so I can be as pretentious as everyone else. This was a solid album with nice layered guitars and vocals. Cover also goes stupid. 3.5/5
Corny lyrics, annoying voice but kiss still manage to pump out some decent songs though. Band had good energy and fun style of playing but there is only so much of that you can do before it gets boring and bored I got. Struggled to pay attention in the second half, I could probably do with another listen though because I really wasn’t paying attention. 3.5/5 (Cover is a 4/5)
Beautiful
Very cool early shoegaze. Felt very punky and gave off some joy division vibes (mainly the singer). You can really hear the roots of shoegaze here with the very noisy moments and the layered yet shrouded vocals. Overall a great record and one that i probably wouldn't have found if not for this list
4.4/5
Not going to listen to this yet because I haven't listened to much Cash and I don't think this is worth listening to yet. Just giving it three start because that's the middle
Good heavy prog rock album. Definitely didn't stand out for what it is and considering the time it came out in but it is a solid early album from a band that was still developing their style at the time. Vocals also started getting really annoying around 5 minutes in
Amazing funk album. The space theme really suits George Clinton's music. Not a single boring moment throughout the thing except maybe the skit parts. Also album cover is great
Best and only Beatles album i've listened to more than once
Good fusion album. The bands energy doesn't stray and makes this album an entertaining listen. The group really gives Jaco a chance to shine and he does using the bass to lead a few of the tracks. If this album wasn't so popular it definitely wouldn't be on this list and there are a lot of other fusion records more deserving of it's spot from artists like Mahavishnu Orchestra, John Coltrane, Frank Zappa, Herbie Hancock and many more.
7/10
Was going to write a long review for this but I can not be assed. This album is a masterpiece with an insane spacey atmosphere, like bitches brew but more intense with less repetition and drawn out moments although those are still on this album on the title track. Miles is a top 3 musician
9.4/10
Sticks to it's theme pretty well and has some amazing songs branching across many genres. Absolute classic
9/10
