This gave me so many chills. Literally made me forget to breathe once, haven't experienced this in a long time.
Wanted to pick favorite songs at first, but after another listen I can't, they're all amazing.

Not old enough to like this kind of music, but it's okay I guess. Can't wait for the day we get a hyperpop album
The Stranglers

i'd be sad if this was the last album i listened to before dying
Lou Reed
1/5
Maybe years of watching toks damaged my brain but I can't recognize this as music
Franz Ferdinand
3/5
I probably won't remember having listened to this, but it wasn't unpleasant. Bonus points for the song that sounds like that one tiktok audio and for Auf Achse being relatable
Siouxsie And The Banshees
2/5
Kinda liked it until i heard the vocals
Kraftwerk

Nice, sweet, goes well with toks. One Way Or Another is the best
1/1
Fleetwood Mac
1/5
So much for being called "tusk". Thought it would be something cool but it just fluctuates between boring and irritating
Super Furry Animals
2/5
No one deserves to be bullied, but...
The best track on this album has no words in it.
Emerson, Lake & Palmer
4/5
Gripping. I don't understand some of the decisions, but I like this album more than I dislike it
Belle & Sebastian
2/5
A filler
Tears For Fears

I don't feel anything.

Bad Company
1/5
Plain boomer music
The Temptations
3/5
A bit generic
Ash

First songs sound nice, a bit like nirvana. But either this album gets more boring the more you listen to it, or it gets worse towards the end.

Garbage
Moby Grape

It's not so bad, just old
Digital Underground
3/5
It's probably a good thing that I don't speak English, I've got a feeling that the lyrics are terrible. The rhymes are basic.
Underwater Rimes (Remix) really stands out.
Yeah, it gets better after that one, no longer sounds like a freestyle, and the lyrics I'm able to understand are pretty funny.
Studymin would approve
Ice T
1/5
Talented Ice-T invents new music. Too american for me and way too long
Grizzly Bear
3/5
Very hit-or-miss
Lou Reed
1/5
Not again...
As bad as I expected!
Finley Quaye
3/5
Pretty good if you ignore a few bad songs like "I Need a Lover"
Mj Cole
3/5
The bitch killed the vibe. Lovely voice but it just doesn't fit the music.
Easy to listen to despite the length.
"Bandelero Desperado" is by far the best.
The Slits
1/5
Don't let tik tok discover this, I don't want to hear it again
Steely Dan

So uninteresting even the repetitive parts didn't annoy me
Mike Oldfield

Fela Kuti

It's fine but not for me
Funkadelic
2/5
Catfish, the album. The first song is really good
Super Furry Animals
2/5
Feels soulless, almost like tv show theme songs
Leonard Cohen
4/5
His voice takes some time to get used to, had to relisten to the first half of the album because of it.
I like how smooth it is
Van Halen
3/5
Not a single bad song, I expected worse
Kanye West
5/5
I don't really know why people like Kanye. Jesus Walks slaps but the other songs feel just okay, I didn't mind them playing.
But he's a nazi so he gets a 5
The Monkees
1/5
I don't like The Beatles
The Monks
1/5
I refuse to believe people enjoy/enjoyed this
Beck

Very chill, could almost forget it was playing
LCD Soundsystem
2/5
Kraftwerk with annoying vocals, which somehow make it sound better. I liked the last song
Kraftwerk
3/5
Sounds good, would play sonic to this
Destiny's Child
3/5
"Apple Pie À La Mode" made me mad. So when I say this about girls I'm a creep but when a woman does this it's an album you must hear before you die.
I like the genre, but there are no bangers on this album
Solomon Burke
2/5
When he started shouting "cracka cracka cracka" in cry to me it really hurt my feelings.
Not my type of music
>:(
2/5
I only kinda liked Bullet The Blue Sky
Creedence Clearwater Revival
2/5
Low wpm repetitive music. It's probably influential and shit idk why else would it be on the list
The Rolling Stones
3/5
It's probably the best I've listened to from this time period. Which is still mid
Bobby Womack
2/5
Music for sex. As a non-sex haver I have no reason to like this
My Bloody Valentine
1/5
They didn't even try to make it sound good. Thought this was bullet for my valentine, minus points for getting my hopes up (I want to give this a zero, but that's not possible, so I give this a one)
Miles Davis
2/5
Cool elevator music.
Traffic
2/5
I liked the sound of "John Barleycorn". I'm pretty sure the album is better if you are able to understand the lyrics. Sadly, I'm not
David Bowie
3/5
Cool kind of weird. I disliked a couple of songs, but the good ones make up for them
Gene Clark
2/5
Just boring
Primal Scream
1/5
Misleading band name.
I didn't hate this album at first, but it just kept going.
Justice
4/5
Liked it much more than the other electronic albums so far. Very catchy
Black Sabbath
2/5
Has some nice tunes but they are buried under layers of the same shit
Yes
1/5
i can't
Beatles
1/5
Honestly, it's neither better nor worse than those no-name albums I've rated 2 stars but I don't like Beatles + it's overrated + I'm not in the mood + 0
Manic Street Preachers
3/5
A bit too edgy, but that was to be expected, considering the cover. Pretty enjoyable, I liked DIE IN THE SUMMEЯTIME and AЯCHIVES OF PAIN the most.
Suede
2/5
Boring. The last song is definitely the worst and leaves a terrible aftertaste
Cream
2/5
Starts off good, but the second half makes the album feel too long. For a 30 minutes album that's embarrassing
Goldie
1/5
One song sounds like somebody playing a ps1 game with all the weird random sfx, the other has a phone vibrating in the background for the entire duration (7 minutes). At some point I lost it and started laughing uncontrollably because of how absurd the noises are.
I guess it's the type of music you shouldn't pay attention to while listening. Not for me.
The second half sounds more normal and almost makes you forget how bad the first half is.
Talking Heads
2/5
It's okay, a bit above average. I like the vocals
Genesis
3/5
Huh. I hesitated to listen to this because I expected the worst but it's actually pretty good. Cute sound, held my attention for the entire duration
David Bowie
4/5
I don't know if this list finally boomerified me but this was very pleasant to listen to
The Pogues
2/5
I decided to read the lyrics this time, british people are incomprehensible. Not that it changed much, but I think I got the gist.
I got tired of this sound pretty quickly. The higher wpm songs like Billy's Bones and The Gentleman Soldier, and the instrumental one carried it to 2 stars
TLC
3/5
The intro is sick. Followed by a real disappointment.
But aside from "Creep", the album is pretty decent, I vibed to it.
Sonic Youth
3/5
I like Sonic and I like youth so I went into this with high hopes.
The first two songs made me wish they had a different singer. I bet they did it on purpose as the third song has a different singer.
Nvm, she sucks too.
The outro in The Sprawl is beautiful, and the instrumentals in general are way better than the singing
Nitin Sawhney
3/5
Mostly enjoyable (especially The Pilgrim and Nostalgia) but also sometimes annoying, and sometimes made me feel nothing at all
Aerosmith
2/5
Nothing for me here
Gil Scott-Heron
1/5
I'm certainly not the target audience, couldn't care less about the topics brought up. Musically this is tiring
New York Dolls
1/5
Idk how to explain this but I kept thinking they're using song templates or something. One song just like the other
The Afghan Whigs
2/5
I usually like this kind of music, but this was not good. Or maybe I'm not in the mood for it
Wilco
3/5
Listening to it for the first time I got really annoyed about halfway through and turned it off. The second time went much better, I still got bored at times but I kinda liked the sound
Arcade Fire
2/5
Nice, but really boring
The The
2/5
I got into it closer to the end. Specifically, the last two songs
Jane's Addiction
1/5
Whoever came up with this music style must've solved music for them
The Shamen
1/5
"You must hear this before you die". I can only imagine a serial killer saying this to his victim, setting this album to play while he's off to prepare a murder weapon
Pet Shop Boys
2/5
Visual novel music vibes. I didn't like it
Air
2/5
I don't see the point of listening to this out of context. It's not self-sufficient, it's not supposed to be.
Cute cover though
Stevie Wonder
2/5
Golden Lady is not too bad. I think I liked some other song too but I can't remember which one
Chicago
2/5
Technically, there is nothing wrong with this music, but I just can't tell what emotions this was trying to evoke. The only time it distracted me from my inner monologue was when it turned into dementia music
Nine Inch Nails
3/5
Lol, imagined you walking in the woods listening to this
Like the noises, don't like the way the vocals are drowned out by the music
Killing Joke
1/5
This is awful.
I have a song of theirs in my playlist so I thought maybe they learned to music in the future. Having listened to one of their newer albums, no. They just have one good song.
The Rolling Stones
2/5
I like the country style but this felt not enough
Electric Light Orchestra
2/5
Too soft. Sounds like something you would hear in a movie, and I don't mean it as a good thing
Leonard Cohen
2/5
I guess Cohen's voice is the main attraction here and I didn't like it that much.
The Style Council
3/5
Pretty decent, upbeat. Would be really boring if not for the variety.
Sabu
3/5
They had fun with their drums. Pardon the meme terminology, but SOVL
Shuggie Otis
2/5
It's bearable when he's not singing
Gary Numan
1/5
Unbearable when sober
LL Cool J
2/5
Basic rhymes on basic flows on basic beats
Django Django
3/5
Pretty nice. Sounds fresh (maybe because of how old the other albums are, but still). Liked Life's a Beach the most
Pulp
2/5
Music was not too bad but the vocals and the cringe lyrics ruined it for me
Norah Jones
2/5
Maybe a whole album of this is too much
Burning Spear
2/5
Meh, just your typical reggae
Ali Farka Touré
2/5
I knew I wouldn't like this, but time flew by really fast and I didn't hate it.
3/5
It's good but I don't understand why people rate it higher than his other albums. Maybe I should've read the lyrics, but I didn't feel like it
Beatles
1/5
Can't even call this a listen, I just sat through it. Once again the schizo song felt like a breath of fresh air, too bad it was near the end
Billy Joel
3/5
Starts off very groovy, then he discovers sad piano keys which I also liked but not as much
John Lennon
1/5
John Lennon used Sing
Echo And The Bunnymen
2/5
Not very interesting. They all sound kinda the same and I'm not into this sound
Bob Dylan
1/5
This made me hate harmonica
Massive Attack
4/5
Very nice, love the atmosphere it sets. The last song feels out of place though
Michael Jackson
5/5
pedophile
Santana
3/5
I liked it, mostly the first half. The songs in the second half sound more boomery
Love
3/5
First 100 albums taught me to not expect much from albums with jojo torture dance type covers but this was not bad at all. Not very good either, and I would guess the lyrics are cringe, but I enjoyed it. It's chill
Jacques Brel
1/5
I wanted some more diversity on the list, so it looks like I should be happy, but this is not what I had in mind. Can't enjoy it since my French is limited to voulez vous coucher avec moi
Pavement
1/5
Can't find a better word than ugly
The Flaming Lips
3/5
Felt the vibe of Feeling Yourself Disintegrate and Sleeping on the Roof. Tbh rating it 3 just for these two, the rest lacks masculinity for no good reason
The Smashing Pumpkins
2/5
I don't even know how to rate this. That Tonight, Tonight's voice is totally unlistenable, heavier tracks are pretty average, and then calmer songs are somewhat pleasant, but it may be because I've heard them hundreds of times in toks.
I was not keeping track of how many songs are in each category, so I'll just assume most of them weren't good
Depeche Mode
5/5
The hits are severely overplayed (I can't fucking stand Personal Jesus at this point), but I've never heard the other songs and damn they are great. It has like one weak track but idc, this deserves a 5
Bob Dylan
1/5
I regret checking how many Bob Dylan albums are there. This one is slightly better than the previous one (still insufferable)
Butthole Surfers
3/5
The kind of punk I prefer, weird loud fun cringe.
I liked U.S.S.A. Made me think of what Merzbow could be if it was actual music
AC/DC
2/5
Very repetitive. Liked it at first, but it gets old, just like the listener
Joni Mitchell
3/5
Light music and a pretty voice. If I were a tokker I would listen to this.
Gang Of Four
2/5
I don't feel entertained
Pixies
2/5
Couldn't get into it, feels really forced. Wish it was just female vocals.
Korn
4/5
Pretty good throughout, but lacks a standout track
Public Enemy
1/5
A cacophony of samples.
Couldn't relax
MGMT
2/5
Average radio music, not to my liking
AC/DC
3/5
A girl once said she liked how I sing Highway to Hell
★★★★★
Yes, it sounds the same all the way through, same as Back in Black, but I didn't mind it this time
Sepultura
3/5
Some intros are better than the songs themselves. Expected to like it more, but it's still good
Grant Lee Buffalo
2/5
No wonder he hears America snoring, this shit is soporific
Deep Purple
1/5
These songs are way too long.
Recognizable, but not good
Curtis Mayfield
2/5
Fairly boring
The Strokes
3/5
oh excellent... good songs, good play, good good good
Feels like I've heard these songs before even though I haven't. Either got better towards the middle or got me in the mood
UB40
2/5
Would've been better if it was about 25 minutes shorter. That's when I started singing "I'm not gonna be Mercy" to it out of boredom
Drive-By Truckers
2/5
Cool lecture. Tried reading the lyrics, but still found them hard to follow, because I can't English
The Cure
2/5
Doomer music all sounds the same to me
Keith Jarrett
2/5
If there was a visual novel about elevators this would play in the main menu. That being said, I mildly enjoyed it
The Go-Go's

Not bad. Really liked some instrumentals
Tim Buckley

A great accompaniment to this hot weather. Really wore me out
The Cult
2/5
So I felt like I've heard Born to be Wild in rock'n'roll racing, googled it, and it turns out not only all those bands sound the same, but they also literally play the same songs
Van Morrison
2/5
I don't know what I was so afraid of. Yes, it was boring, but not more boring than usual. And I liked the title song
Adele
3/5
It's decent, I like her voice and the music fits it, but this style is very boring
Björk
5/5
This gave me so many chills. Literally made me forget to breathe once, haven't experienced this in a long time.
Wanted to pick favorite songs at first, but after another listen I can't, they're all amazing.
Stephen Stills
3/5
It differs a lot from song to song both in styles and quality. The worst ones are still listenable and the best are pretty good
Frank Sinatra
1/5
Incel type weepings to a Tom and Jerry type beat. I understand why it's here, just don't want to pretend it's any good
Afrika Bambaataa
1/5
Early hip-hop sucks
Jethro Tull
2/5
Couldn't get into it but can tell it was consistently good

Magazine
2/5
Label Virgin? Track named My Tulpa?
Yep, this we listen
Well... at least I liked some melodies
Carole King
3/5
Weird foot. I don't dislike it, just makes it harder to focus on everything else. (this was supposed to be about her voice but I changed it after seeing the cover again)
The first song is upbeat, I liked it a lot and expected the rest of the album be more like it. Sadly, the rest has a completely different vibe. Not bad, but coud've been so much better
Paul McCartney and Wings
1/5
My pain threshold is about 4 songs. I'm pretty sure when this was released this already was boomer music. I really hate how they repeat the same line for half the song
Iron Maiden
2/5
I don't like this type of metal. Overly repetitive, but got some good tunes like the intro in the last song
Death In Vegas
3/5
Trippy. Made me write a couple of jokes for a stand-up perfomance that will never happen.
The songs with actual lyrics are pretty bad, the rest is cool, I like the noisiness. Liked Lever Street the most
Lynyrd Skynyrd
2/5
I've heard this band name before but I can't remember where.
Despite this sign of dementia I can't say I liked this much, aside from Free Bird
Isaac Hayes
3/5
Now that's a luxe elevator, very relaxing. Wait, it's even called shaft lmao.
Sounds good when picks up the energy too
The Who
3/5
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=15WrB1N913I
I like this more than an average album in this genre. Maybe because it's live.
Listened to the 80 minutes version. The 40 minutes version has all the worst songs, I'd rate it 1 if the site linked me to it
Queen
2/5
I really liked White Queen but not much everything else.
T. Rex
2/5
Not interesting
Massive Attack
2/5
I think I would prefer this without vocals, it's got cool beats though.
The reggae parts made me remember Skindred and find out they released an album not long ago (and it's a solid one, give it a shot if you're in a nu-metal wave again)
Kid Rock
3/5
The opening song is crazy good.
Rap elements of this album sound goofy and the autotune song was just awful, but the rest is decent.
The Verve
2/5
Sounds lovely but almost every song is too long. Requires to be in a certain mood, I think
Dusty Springfield
1/5
I hated it. Wishin' And Hopin' is a cute song but that's it
The The
3/5
The last song stuck in my head for a while. Quite enjoyable
The Human League
2/5
I don't know if it's intentional but it sounded pretty cheap and amateurish
Ladysmith Black Mambazo
2/5
Was nice to hear something different even if I didn't like it much
John Coltrane
1/5
Not my thing. It didn't move me emotionally and didn't work as background music, found it too distracting
Bob Marley & The Wailers
4/5
Very fine! Endless chill! Made me wonder what weed tastes like, Jah bless us!
Tom Waits
1/5
These vocals are a joke he took too far, I expected it to only be a gimmick for the first song.
Mostly unlistenable, but In The Colosseum somehow works for me
The Cure
2/5
Sounds better than their earlier album, I like the instrumentals more. Still don't want to kill myself though
Songhoy Blues
3/5
These black dudes really got me feeling some type of way...
I mean, with their music. It's kinda crazy this was released in 2015, it feels much older
No idea what the lyrics are about, but surely it's a good thing this time, it would pain me to hear about their struggles with cops and drug abuse
Leonard Cohen
2/5
Okay, he's not even singing at this point. And I don't understand English so for me it's just an old dude rambling over minimalistic music
Prince
1/5
Yesterday I made it through 4 minutes before turning it off. Like, it's supposed to be funky but I'm only tapping my foot nervously.
They even put an alarm in one of the songs so you can't sleep through it, they truly know no mercy.
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
2/5
Aww, sweet! People getting murdered! I like the concept but the execution is far from interesting
Frank Zappa
2/5
Lots of good moments but he doesn't know when to stop
Prince
3/5
As much as I wanted to hate this after Sign 'O' The Times, this was nice. Don't get the wrong idea! It's not like I l-like it or anything...
Starts with a good song, plummets with off-putting screaming in The Beautiful Ones, then slowly gets better towards the end. Purple Rain stands out, so maaaybe it's not the worst album in the world.
I-I mean... it's the worst! Get you pity 3 stars
Kendrick Lamar
4/5
Cool beats, great flow. However, I'm not american enough to appreciate skin tone 5 lyrics
Led Zeppelin
2/5
Round two. Great.
Wait, it's a completely different sound. While certainly more listenable, still bored me with the last two songs
Incredible Bongo Band
3/5
It was fun, fitted today's mood
Kate Bush
4/5
YOU
JUST
KNOW
First half is hella mid (except for Mother Stands For Comfort), and I feel bad saying that because the rest is so charming. Great variety, beautiful sound
Fela Kuti
3/5
The story behind this album is very interesting. The music itself is nice but too repetitive for me
Crosby, Stills & Nash
2/5
So flipping boring
Television
2/5
Had to relisten because I got to distracted by my thoughts on the first go. The songs I thought were good with more attention were just okay.
Good guitar but I just don't like this singing style
Randy Newman
3/5
I liked the non-sappy songs, especially the first one.
This album's really got that Disney sound, I recognized it even though I've never seen any of the films he made music for
Van Morrison
2/5
♪ To be bored again~
Pixies
3/5
Liked the female vocals, the male vocals are weird and not in a good way. 3 for Gigantic, Bone Machine and Where Is My Mind
2/5
*blocks your path*
what do
I did what any sane person would do, I listened to Beatles. I really want to want to like it, it's human nature to want to fit in.
The thing is, I don't think it's human nature to like Beatles anymore, yet there they are - thousands of positive reviews for an album that's average in pretty much every way.
It might be that everyone is right and I'm wrong but it's never happened before. The more reasonable explanation would be that it's not about the music, there is something more to it.
When I was a little boy, I once sang Yellow Submarine at a karaoke party. I grew up in a country that is known for not speaking English, why would there be Beatles among blatnyak and nursery rhymes? Start asking questions.
Everyone acts like it's something great while not feeling anything towards it, because they are afraid of being ostracized. You are supposed to like it. Everyone likes it. You're with everyone, right? It's all forced. The biggest hoax since ariposting.
I'm on my fourth listen in a row. Why do all the commentators' nicknames on youtube end with four digits? I swear I'm gonna get silenced
De La Soul
3/5
Noice. Long enough for the novelty to wear off but that's fine. Much better than what I expected from this time period.
Magic number/5
Tito Puente
2/5
I'm sure the lyrics are meaningful and witty, but I can't understand them so the rest of my meaningful and witty review is in another language in protest.
このアルバムは、チャチャチャが多すぎてちょっとイライラする。単調さに飽きた。
John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers
1/5
Lame prehistoric music
The Beta Band
2/5
Strong beta energy. Was a bit enjoyable but not for long
Thin Lizzy
2/5
Doesn't really feel like an album to me, more like a compilation (at least the first half). The songs are mediocre, but I liked Dancing In The Moonlight, so there's that
Black Sabbath
2/5
I must be missing something, simply don't feel anything. Except for frustration when they try to play Iron Man but they haven't unlocked that ability yet so it cuts off
Red Hot Chili Peppers
2/5
This was certainly not what I expected, the OG Loc tier rapping caught me off guard. Not that I've listened to much RHCP before.
I Could Have Lied is much closer to my expectations, awesome sound too.
This album's all over the place, I wish they had went with the I Could Have Lied's vibe. Just not feeling the funk
Sebadoh
3/5
Ranges everywhere from absolute shit to really good. 3 because at it's best I liked it a lot
Ray Charles
1/5
Damn, he can't see the bullshit like Tokyo’s Revenge.
My jaw stuck from yawning and this music wasn't worth it
Blur
3/5
Bit plain but entertaining, I had a good time listening to this
Patti Smith
2/5
Not bad. Not as bad I mean, as some of the other albums so far
Billy Bragg
2/5
More like Billy Drag hehe xd
No, really. It feels much longer than it is.
Bob Dylan
2/5
What if... this screeching is not harmonica but some entity that Bob Dylan came in contact with like in Saya no Uta. That thing just talks like that and he's the only one who can understand it. Aww, it's so cute, this little Lovecraftian monster is trying to help with the song!
On a serious note, I don't want to be serious. It's like I'm given the same album three times already. I just can't generate a different response
That being said, I think I'm warming up to this music, it was slightly more bearable again. This or the fact that I'm literally getting older
The Hives
3/5
Typical 00s sound. I can't tell what exactly it reminds me of, but I can tell I like it
Pink Floyd
4/5
Pretty cool. Found the actual songs a bit less interesting than the rest
The xx
4/5
The fuck is x-
Ah, it's that one... Okay, sounds lovely. Minimalistic in a good way, pleasant voices, so chill~
Me likey
LTJ Bukem
1/5
I'm dressing as this album for Halloween. It's horrifying
Pink Floyd
2/5
This one is confusing, I felt like I almost liked it several times but never actually liked it. Also, sounds nothing like The Dark Side Of The Moon, the wall is real
The Doors
3/5
2 good songs, L’America and Riders on the Storm. And obviously I prefer the Snoop Dogg version of Riders on the Storm but still pretty decent for boomer music
So a weak 3 I guess
Stan Getz
3/5
It's light. Can't feel strongly about it but it was alright.
One of the few albums that I'd like to be longer
Radiohead
5/5
Weird and depressing. Well, that's like my two favourite things in the world. I also dig the noisiness, it's almost like this album was made specifically for me.
Direct hit
Eminem
5/5
That's funny, we got this album generated on his bday.
First thing that catches the eye is rhyme density combined with insanely good delivery. It still sounds fresh (and this is not nostalgia speaking, I'm not an Eminem cultist (or wasn't) and hadn't heard half of these songs before).
Bitch Please II is an absolute banger, perfect in every way.
"Kim" is such a creative death threat. Is that even legal in US? Trying to imagine myself in Kim's place, I have no idea how to react. What a display of domestic abuse mastery! That aside, the song is strong, the overflowing emotions make it so very believable.
Herbie Hancock
2/5
Didn't like. Feels like a really really long intro
Einstürzende Neubauten
2/5
Oh no no no no, the infamous lowest rated album on the list.
I had a pretentious phase back in school, listened to Merzbow and such. That revision of me would've learned to love this. It also likely would've learned to love River of Fundament, had it known about it.
Honestly, it gets significantly better starting from the title song. Wouldn't have dissed my past self if songs before Kollaps didn't exist
Sigur Rós
5/5
Reminds me of so many different bands but more in spirit than in sound, the sound is pretty unique.
Got a new crush yesterday, been daydreaming about her to this music, it only added to the experience.
Sex Pistols
1/5
Well, it's punk. Didn't even hate it, was completely disinterested
Beastie Boys
3/5
Day 7,614 without sex.
I suppose it's one of those cases where my inability to comprehend English is a buff. This sounds completely fine to me.
Emmylou Harris
1/5
Music for old women. I'm neither of those yet, so I found it very boring. Also really dislike her voice
Kacey Musgraves
4/5
Sweet soothing pop songs. Very generic but I don't mind, it's a nice sound.
Especially liked Lonely Weekend and Velvet Elvis.
Alanis Morissette
2/5
If Avril Lavigne was bad.
Actually, listened to her right after this and I don't like it too. Maybe I've exhausted all the girl energy I had
Fats Domino
2/5
I kind of like it conceptually (the vibes mostly), but it's really dated.
>1957 must be the oldest album we've listened to
Nope! It's Sinatra, ~1955 if I remember correctly. I remembered because it's the first album in the book
Khaled
3/5
ABDULpls
It was alright, lots of variety. My hookah was done before this album finished playing, minus points for that
Sonic Youth
3/5
Pros:
LOUD NOISES!!!!!
One of them learned to sing
Cons:
LOUD NOISES!!!!!
𝘖𝘯𝘦 of them learned to sing
I'd love to hear someone else on the vocals. Or maybe even an instrumental album. Such a waste
Elton John
3/5
Pretty good. Better than most 3s I've given, so gets a phantom half star
Anyway, one of those albums evoked a random memory, so here's a lil anecdote. (tw: no punchline)
My grandma worked in a morgue. When I was a little lad she took me to her work once and for some reason they had a drum set, synthesizer and some other instruments there. Back then I didn't think much of it (I don't think I even knew it was a morgue), and now I just couldn't trust my memory, so I asked my mom. Turns out, it really happened, the morgue workers were having their houkago tea time there when the boss would go home.
They also set the boss's door on fire once.
Coldplay
4/5
The opening song is very good.
I like the vibe. Feels a bit like Blue October but more chill
Jurassic 5
3/5
Loved One Of Them, cool beat, and I think this aggressive style fits them, they sound great.
The rest is decent, but nothing else really stands out
Van Morrison
2/5
Good perfomance. Stopped enjoying it at some point though
Portishead
3/5
Many interesting elements, sounds like a combination of things I like: Lidl Björk, gloomy atmosphere, random noises. Not everything worked for me but it was a nice listen. Liked some parts in most songs, liked We Carry On as a whole
Public Image Ltd.
2/5
Couldn't hear the music, some dude was screaming over it until the album ended.
At least the last song was kinda funny
The Police
2/5
An interesting fusion. I tried to determine why Message In A Bottle is so much better than everything else but I can't, brain too small
ACAB, BLM, LGBTQQIP2SAA
Kendrick Lamar
2/5
My african american really loves them phone calls in his songs.
Musically I only liked the first part of m.A.A.d city. Had to read the lyrics, would get insanely bored otherwise.
As for the lyrics, I found them very caricaturistic and hard to sympathize with, likely because of the cultural gap. The only exception was The Art of Peer Pressure, it's a bit more universal, I reckon
The Soft Boys
2/5
It's not too punk, for better and worse. I was moderately enjoying it until I sensed Beatles and got agitated
The Electric Prunes
2/5
I give up on trying to speak English, here's a graph instead

The shit.
Great energy, I was exhausted in a good way by the end of the album. Didn't know I liked Metallica this much
Bob Marley & The Wailers
2/5
It's not carefree, I don't like it. The last two songs are good
Stevie Wonder
3/5
It has it's flaws but something about this album makes me not want to bitch about them. Chill grooves, something to relax to
Brian Eno
2/5
Some of it would fit in a DOS adventure game, some of it would fit in a movie. Actually, just realized I was thinking "this would work if..." about almost every song here.
At least it was interesting.
Common
1/5
First listen, not reading lyrics: 1. Got bored about halfway through and was simply waiting for it to end
Second listen, reading lyrics: I'm confused. I barely understood anything, so it will be an unfair rating. Some lines are so stupid that they are hilariously funny but I can't tell if it was intentional. Or how he called himself the black pill, or how he called the cops nazis on a Kanye album, he had no idea this would sound funny in the future.
Lyrics didn't help, still a 1.
Tracy Chapman
3/5
The middest
Fugees
4/5
Had low expectations, Common's album made me question my affinity for rap. This album fixed me.
Reggae elements work really well.
Mista Mista was fun, will probably stick in my head for a while
Guns N' Roses
3/5
Burnout Paradise groomed me into liking this. The songs are a bit too long so I got tired of them eventually.
Holy fuck, there's a 3 screens long review on the global page, do I read it? #𝟴𝗯𝗮𝗹𝗹 (𝐁𝐫𝐮𝐡)
Amy Winehouse
2/5
Meh, mostly boring, sometimes annoying
The Smiths
1/5
Goes in the same category as The Cure, it takes an attempt or two to appreciate. I have no attempts on my record.
Awful singing.
Peter Gabriel
2/5
The songs are too long for what they are.
Initially I didn't like it one bit, but then Mercy Street and We Do What We’re Told (Milgram’s 37) happened, the latter is especially good
2/5
Catchy, but not something I enjoy too much. Lost me at the jazzier parts.
Big Brother & The Holding Company
2/5
I remember reading somewhere that if you listen to the albums in the order they are placed in the book, you begin to appreciate Beatles when you get to them. Honestly, sounds believable. I keep wondering what kind of music I would have listened to had I been born at that time, and I've yet to find the answer. Can't see myself not listening to anything, but if this album is a must hear from that period... It's like trying to play Beta 1.7.3 after having played modern Minecraft, it was concidered fun back then, I remember enjoying it myself, but if you launch it now you'd be at a loss of what to do. Some people still play it, I'm just not one of them.
Ryan Adams
3/5
I missed out on so many years of being bullied by not discovering this back in school.
Why's the cover upside-down?
Hugh Masekela
3/5
Well, it's jazz. My pp doesn't react to it but can tell it's not bad.
1/5
As if 70 Beatles albums weren't enough.
Metallica
4/5
Previously on 1001 albums:
>Didn't know I liked Metallica this much
Turns out I didn't. Don't get me wrong, I still like the music, but it pales in comparison with live versions of these songs. It's especially evident in Sad But True, the performance just sounds lazier
4/5
It won me over with insanely good first song and the saw wobbling sound in one of the others. But I got to say, sometimes it's too chaotic, almost sounds like there are multiple songs playing at the same time
And for all the noobs in the global reviews section: the lyrics are about sex.
Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
1/5
It's not real music, they are just bruteforcing the instruments. The weirdness is certainly appealing, but it alone does not make for a good listening experience.
The only sort of rating criteria I've developed at this point is "it's 1 star if I would hate to listen to it again". This album doesn't fit it, I probably will give it another go sometime in the future, but I can't rate it any higher.
But I had a great time laughing at the youtube comments
Elvis Costello
2/5
I was reluctant to listen to this, my brain thought "Elvis Costello = bad" for some reason.
It was not bad but got very boring at some point
Steely Dan
3/5
Out of all jazz-containing albums this one is the closest to my liking. Nice and relaxing
R.E.M.
2/5
Dull. I Remember California is the only notable track
The Libertines
3/5
The cover looks gay.
The music is pretty good. Instantly forgettable, yes, but it's a good thing, makes you forget the bad parts (if they were there. I listened twice and still don't remember anything)
Todd Rundgren
1/5
Speaking of albums that feel like they go on forever
Fatboy Slim
2/5
ok but why
Duran Duran
2/5
I liked the sound at first but got tired of it quickly. Then liked the last two songs because they had a different vibe
Various Artists
2/5
I wish I had a sob story to justify not reviewing this earlier, but initially I didn't listen to this because I didn't want to be a Grinch, and then I just forgot. Well, it's lunar new year now, close enough.
It's easy to listen to when it's not christmas. Actually, someone should listen to this album during every holiday and make a top-10 list of holidays this album goes best with.
Sonic Youth
4/5
You will hear from the registrar regarding this cover.
You're probably tired of seeing me whine about their voices (I am) but this time I actually didn't mind them. Maybe because they are quieter, maybe because there's less accent on singing in general, what matters is that they are not in the way of enjoying the instrumentals, which are harsher than their later works and I prefer them this way.
PJ Harvey
4/5
I like how the title suggests England should be nuked
Was listening to this while on a minibus, a ~4yo girl heard it and asked her mom "If everyone asked god to turn the war off, would he do it?". Got her mom and half the minibus in tears.
Now that I've ran out of memes to translate, time to speak about the lyrics. While I agree with the notion I don't think listing consequences of war is enough to do... anything really. First of all, most of the people I know want to die anyway. And I'm sure there are authors who portrayed dying soldiers in much more terrifying ways, so doing it again but in a less shocking way seems pretty pointless. Now, I know a way to make better anti-war propaganda but it's asocial and also illegal where I live so I'll have to wait for Kanye to do it.
Although these lyrics are weak as propaganda, they didn't fail to set the atmosphere and worked well with her voice and the music.
Also wtf is that horn in The Glorious Land lmao I thought that sound came from somewhere else
White Denim
2/5
Eh, nothing special
Neil Young
2/5
If you want to intentionally age and distress a human, apply this album
Booker T. & The MG's
2/5
I have probably heard all of these songs throughout my life. Didn't hate it, but would instantly skip any of these songs if I heard them in the wild
OutKast
4/5
Silly music but I liked it. Didn't expect to like it at all, so had a little trouble getting into it. Can't decide between 3 and 4 so I'll just trust the people saying the lyrics are good
The Dave Brubeck Quartet
3/5
First song was good, then I forgot it was playing. Not too bad
5/4 this, 9/8 that, how about 3/5
Billy Bragg
2/5
Is it a bad thing when you randomly start singing a completely different song? And I don't mean different lyrics, I mean I was just singing something else over this.
Very boring
Elbow
3/5
First song shell shocked me
"We kissed like we invented it" is a cool line, I liked it a lot. There were some other lines that stood out for me, I guess I'm sad because I understand the lyrics
One Day Like This is a drag
Miles Davis
2/5
Does nothing for me
Bert Jansch
2/5
Not much happening here. Can't tell if I genuinely liked some guitar solos or just appreciated the breaks from his singing
Dinosaur Jr.
4/5
A good example of what the regular rock lacks. Imo they went a bit too hard on randomness, sometimes it added to the songs, many times it didn't
Poledo made me think "damn this was great I want to listen to the whole album again". Twice. It's simply that great
Adam & The Ants
2/5
It was okay, even fun sometimes. I liked the attitude more than the sound
Led Zeppelin
1/5
Round three, and I'm ready to throw in the towel.
So apparently the songs are stolen and the only question I have is why out of all things on earth you would steal this. It's like shoplifting raisins - it's not the act of stealing you should be ashamed of, but your poor taste.
Compared to Physical Graffiti this album is almost twice as short so I thought maybe it would end quick enough to not drive me insane. Compared to Physical Graffiti Led Zeppelin III was somewhat good so I thought maybe it's one of those cases where it goes downhill with every album. This album shatters expectations.
I might be a demon, because interacting with this sacred album in any way hurts me. It hurts to listen to, it hurts to type this review because earlier I was trying to crack walnuts with my hands, it hurts to see people rating this high just because it’s Zeppelin. I'm sure if I were to look closely at the Rorschach inkblots on the cover I'd see my dead pet or Akali Bonbi.
I'd call it thought-provoking.
Eminem
2/5
It's one of, I believe, three albums from the list that I'd heard before 1001. Eminem was always some kind of an icon where I'm from, so after hearing all my favourite rappers constantly praise him I had to listen to something besides his greatest hits. I listened to this, decided it's mid af, and never listened to an Eminem abum again until we got one here.
Relistened, opinion didn't change.
Cheap Trick
2/5
>The next song is called "Surrender"
>Japanese screams get cut off
Kinda the only moment worth mentioning. Didn't feel the energy
The Zutons
3/5
It was okay, I liked almost every other song and didn't hate the bad ones
The Yardbirds
2/5
If I understand the genres correctly, the psychedelic songs were better than The Beatles (which is not hard to achieve but still) and the bluesy ones sucked a massive genital
The Beach Boys
2/5
Yeah, with music like this I'd likely rather be into painting or politics
Dusty Springfield
2/5
Didn't know Pugacheva had songs in English
Pretty soft, pretty boring
Jane's Addiction
2/5
I like how there are two 1-star reviews that begin with reviewing something else, speaks volumes about how captivating this record is. Without further ado, let us begin with "Stop", the visual novel (止まれ).
First of all, it's a horror game, and I'm a scaredy-cat, so I lowered the volume to a bare minimum and can't really rate the scariness or anything audio related.
The game loop is basically this: the story goes on until you face a choice. Wrong choice leads to a bad ending and takes you all the way back to the beginning, the other one progresses the story. If you would want to see all the bad endings, you would have to skip through the same scenes A LOT.
Sometimes it feels a tad stupid when the right choices are "don't stop the car", then after one (uno) screen of text which doesn't really say anything substantial the right choice is "on second thought, stop the car". They stop the car to check the trunk, one of the characters says "maybe we shouldn't", and, you guessed it right, the correct choice is to get back in the car.
The language is fairly simple, author sticks to short sentences, repeats the same words very often, which is a huge plus for me as I'm not nearly good enough to read more convoluted Japanese.
I don't have much experience with the genre, but it seemed like a generic ghost story. Still, held my attention, I theorized about how it would end and how the characters are connected. Was satisfied with the ending, it made sense, which is rare for mystery genre.
The art style is a bit scuffed but it suits the game well, looks creepy enough to pretend it's intentional.
Overall, 3/5. Not something I would recommend to anyone, but it's really short (if you know the language, you can finish it in like 1-2 hours I think) and rather interesting.
Oh, right, the album. Three Days was alright.
The Sonics
3/5
It was pretty fun, the songs were short and I was in the mood for something like this, even the singer's tourettes felt fitting, but the audio quality ruined everything. Ah, fuck it, it's still fun
Bob Dylan
2/5
Didn't listen to the lyrics but whatever he says is not true, he got dumped because of his singing
Fleetwood Mac
2/5
I think I've come a long way since starting this project, I can even stomach Bob Dylan's harmonica shoegaze now, but man do I not understand the obsession with some of these albums.
It's not bad at all, has a few good songs (The Chain and Gold Dust Woman), but there's really nothing special
Elvis Presley
2/5
If you couldn't hear me, it would look like I was singing along. I was yawning
The Thrills
3/5
The first three songs had me disappointed but then idk something clicked and I started liking this. Still, I'd prefer a less ancient sound
Björk
5/5
Before listening I checked the top reviews and found exactly what I expected to find. It got me worked up, I was gonna ramble on about them, but then the music calmed me down. Will leave it for another time.
Saw somebody call this album an "adult lullaby", beautiful description. Enchanting voice, cool chill beats, awesome balls. This album is pure sex
John Grant
3/5
Still don't like gay
Boston
3/5
This was pretty good, especially the first half. The last few tracks sound like they zoned out while playing and then got back into it in the last minute
Jimi Hendrix
3/5
Kinda meh. I remember listening to Castles Made Of Sand when you mentioned it, I liked it better then. Here it got lost among everything else
But I like his voice
Red Snapper
3/5
I concur
Ramones
2/5
I spent the entire duration of this reading the same comments from one guy on youtube. They're mostly incoherent, but there's a certain charm to the more understandable ones so I tried to translate one
「To be honest. I heard Romanes like this. Year 1978. We're in the Volga delta. Tourists. It's dark already. We have a radio. We throw the wire in a tree. Ooh! Oh my god. Here. Here! I remember. The rythm. Romanes. Oh my chic Romanes!」
The thought of a guy who seems to be off his rocker reminiscing about the time he got to hear "Romanes" is pretty romantic. I believe him when he says they are "special in the mouth". Even if I don't see it that way.
Joni Mitchell
2/5
I was thoroughly enjoying this album until my grandchildren asked me to change the radio channel, and then their grandchildren asked them what a radio was. On average, our household didn't like this
Bruce Springsteen
2/5
I'm not familiar with gay semiotics but I'm pretty sure the cover signalizes something
Cover Me was the only song that stood out for me
Blue Cheer
3/5
"I've got to take my problem to the United Nations" hey, I recognize that line!
A combination of things I enjoy and things I don't. They sound kinda sludgy, noisy, this I like. But blues is on top of my worst genres for a reason, so I'm surprised it didn't bother me that much
Neil Young & Crazy Horse
2/5
Neil Young needs much more horsepower to get carried to a 3
Muddy Waters

Erykah Badu

One or two songs of this is fine, but when it's a full album you inevitably stop caring.

Surprisingly good. High energy fast paced music, and a hint of Beatles so you don't have too much fun. Liked Lose It the most
Kings of Leon

I chuckled at the sight of this cover next to the release date
It was decent at times, but the bad songs are kinda annoying
Barry Adamson

Didn't like most of it. I kept losing interest and it kept pulling me back with weirder songs.
Rod Stewart

Unless there is something encoded in the image and the whole album is an ARG setup, I don't like the story it tells.
The intro in Maggie May was the only good part for me
Al Green

It was nice. Maybe a bit boring, but it's short and ends on a good song
The Zombies

Really don't care for this music

Got exhausted by the fifth track. I feel like relapsing to noise again. Was reading a vn the other day, it had a very nice earthquake sound effect with falling trees and metal-on-metal sounds. Would prefer listening to 35 minutes of that instead
Beatles

First song was not so bad. Then the second song reminded me why I don't like them. Ughing for the rest of the runtime
Jerry Lee Lewis
2/5
Only 13? What a letdown
John Lee Hooker
1/5
After first song I was willing to cut this album some slack, but I just can't. It feels like someone keeps pressing the left arrow button. I just heard this line sir do not repeat please can this song go somewhere AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
2/5
Didn't know milk was safe for Ramadan.
Tried the stereo version, regretted it 15 seconds in.
Not what I expected. Tbh I was in the mood for whatever mess Trout Mask Replica was so I got disappointed. Safe indeed.
Van Halen
3/5
I know you're not too fond of rock but man did I miss it. Don't want to go to the blues and blues accessories aisle ever again
Oasis
3/5
Titled appropriately, I listened to it 3 times and I'm still not sure how I feel about it. Although I liked the instrumentals, I didn't like the instrumental parts at the end of almost every song, they get too repetitive
Public Enemy
1/5
Imagine what Bring Tha Noize could be if they were any good
Jimi Hendrix
3/5
Listened to the UK version because it's in the book.
Watched his gf's titties because they're in the book
Fine, but not my taste. Got me curious enough to hear the songs from the NA version
Nah, I don't like them, NA version would be a 2. Fav song: I Don't Live Today
Iron Maiden
4/5
They stole a riff from Papa Roach???
They used to sound not pretentious?????
I know I am going to get downvoted for this but this was leagues better than their Number Of The Beast (and, I assume, the rest of their discography), specifically the vocals
Kate Bush
3/5
Cute cover.
I wanted to talk about how much this is not-Björk, but honestly I wouldn't even draw a parallel between them if it wasn't for the top review.
Deeper Understanding is relatable, I love my 'puter so much....
Sometimes sounds very 80s which I don't really like, but the atmosphere is pleasant. Would not listen to any of these songs outside the album but together they work nicely
The KLF
2/5
I wonder if that's what Michael Vsauce felt when he was in the white room. At least it's not 2 hours long.
The Velvet Underground
2/5
I liked some songs (didn't care enough to check the names though), found the rest of them mid and the last one too abrasive.
Also it teaches to peel a banana the wrong way
The Offspring
4/5
A) I always loved Come Out And Play
B) is not part of the list just a smiley face
My friend bought me a skateboard so now I'm obligated to like this.
Little Richard
2/5
Cool, the way you worded it sounds a lot like evolution. The majority replicates something that they know already works with little to no differences, and then there are mutants that might start a new meta... or be utterly disgusting. I guess the successful experiments are already on the list, and the unsuccessful ones are not included for a good reason. It would be a musical Kunstkamera otherwise
Safe indeed
The Killers
4/5
Cute 'fus > hot 'fus
There's lots of fillers but the greatest songs are iconic. Beautiful first half.
The Youngbloods
2/5
I'm surprised by how easy it is to listen to despite being from 1969. Kinda boring but not bad
Dexys Midnight Runners
2/5
I don't even hear what's so good about Come On Eileen.
Didn't struggle to finish, but it was very meh
Elliott Smith
2/5
Read the lyrics, I can't tell if it's me not being able to English or him being too cryptic but I couldn't figure out the meaning behind like half the lines. But what I did understand sounded pretty repetitive. I understand wanting to reuse the same thoughts, I don't get many unique thoughts myself, but maybe make your album shorter or something.
Reusing one of my earlier thoughts. The main difference I see between Björk and Kate Bush is how more intimate Björk's music is, I feel like it's directed at me personally, like I'm the one she speaks to. With Kate Bush I felt more like I was invited to watch a spectacle, I'm allowed to see only what she decides to show me. And then there's Elliott Smith, this album makes me feel like I'm his therapist.
Funnily enough, the bonus song Figure 8 doesn't have this problem, I liked it. Bye and The Roost are also great but do not redeem the rest of the album in my eyes.
The Rolling Stones
2/5
Cocksucker Blues. That's not me talking, it's a documentary about them.
Thelonious Monk
2/5
It’s okay
Slint
5/5
Oh, this one is really good. Fantastic instrumentals. I dind't really like the spoken vocals but they help to build up this dark atmosphere
I guess my ears adjusted, I like everything after second listen
N.W.A.
3/5
Boo hoo, there's swear words in my gangsta rap.
- Every fucking 1 star review
While I see how spamming the word 'fucking' every time you need two extra syllables is lazy, that's not really what they're saying. Fucking fucks, fuck 'em.
As always with rap albums for me, it felt too long. And for no good reason either, there are songs that just sound like freestyle near the end, could've ditched them. Despite that, a solid album, I enjoyed the first half.
Creedence Clearwater Revival
2/5
Ok I guess. The only song I liked was Sinister Purpose, the vocals there sounded different from the rest, much more listenable
Jeff Beck
1/5
Thank you for Greensleeves, I really needed that break
Alice Cooper
2/5
Why was this top 35 in 2023 weekly hungarian chart? For one (egy) week? And more importantly, why mention it on it's wikipedia page?
This anomaly was the only thing about this album that I cared about. Not bad, just uninteresting
Alice In Chains
4/5
Some really great riffs, title track hits hard. Very hard rocky sound, but they are actually trying to do something interesting with it
Pretenders
3/5
The vocals... take some time to get used to but not bad at all, the instrumentals are also good. Could chill to it, pretty decent
Janet Jackson
2/5
Prejudice: knock it off
Ignorance: knock it off
Bigotry: knock it off
Illiteracy: knock it off
She can sing, I'll give her that, but most of the songs aged so badly. The ones that are not dance songs still sound good
Violent Femmes
2/5
Spoiler alert: there is no actual femmes. I spent like 5 minutes malding about it.
Funny incel music, Gimme the Car was especially amusing. Didn't like it sonically though
Beck
3/5
Feels very experimental but not in a good way. Like he didn't have a direction in mind and just threw in random stuff to see what sticks. Sometimes I was confused whether I'm still listening to the same album
Still, not bad either, there's a lot that I liked, but mostly elements, not full songs. Best song: Derelict
Sheryl Crow
2/5
It would be a great album if it was 1-2 songs long
William Orbit
4/5
Very good.
I spent too much time trying to figure out what's written on the cover. I think it says "ចៅខេមរភាសា", but "grandson, khmer language" sounds stupid and I can't find what other meaning ចៅ could have here. If it's just random words then I'm VERY trolled, pretend I rated it 1 star.
The album worked great as background music to this process, it's very light. At times when my mind switched to listening to it, I was pleased with what I heard
Janis Joplin
2/5
Pretty average music, don't like her voice
Nixon - Lambchop:
Very relaxing mellow sound. Sadly, it took a turn for the worse on What Else Could It Be?, I didn't mind the falsetto before it, even slightly liked it, but I guess I reached my limit there. Wait, no, it get's better with Petrified Florist. The last two songs are pretty cool
3/5. Would consider 4/5 but don't feel like going for another round rn
Lambchop
2/5
Pretty average music, don't like her voice
Barry Adamson
2/5
This doesn't feel like a soundtrack to a movie, it feels like A movie, just in music form. And I don't really like movies, if there was a 1001 movies project, I would be one of those people who wrote ~5 "DNF" reviews and then quit
I like the concept and I think it's well executed. Was worth a listen even if I didn't like it much
Elvis Costello & The Attractions
2/5
Okayish first half, hella boring second half, I started yawning heavily by the end of it. (I Don't Want to Go to) Chelsea stands out, it's good
Baaba Maal
1/5
It's perfectly listenable, I understand about the same amount of lyrics as when I listen to music in English, but it still didn't work for me. Neither as background music - too annoying for that, nor as regular music - too repetitive.
And yes, I would still prefer to have more albums like this on the list
fIREHOSE
2/5
From 😃 to 😔 real quick, wtf was that bait in the first song...
Let the Drummer Have Some is a funny title, I liked it
Actually, it was alright, subpar vocals but they were not too prominent (except for the last song, and it was awful)
The Cure
4/5
I was not in the mood for this but they got me in the mood. Beautiful Lullaby and Homesick, and a different, heavier kind of beautiful Prayers for Rain
Really enjoyed the long instrumental intros. As often happens, I would probably like this even more if it was fully instrumental (I could almost cry to Homesick before vocals stepped in), but I'm not saying the vocals were bad, just not for me I guess
Easily their best album on this list
Nick Drake
2/5
A whole lot of nothing
Scott Walker
2/5
First half was pretty good. Interesting lyrics in Jackie and Next. Don't like the sound of the second half, the music is slower, it bored me
HE HAS A COLLABORATIVE ALBUM WITH SUNN O)))????
Motörhead
1/5
The sound quality is super shit. I can't make out what he's singing, sounds exactly the same as when there are drunks in front of my house screaming at each other
I liked some melodies, but let's be real, this is unlistenable
Marvin Gaye
2/5
God is invading your privacy right this second. Stop praising him, he's the same as google.
Not a fan
Cyndi Lauper
3/5
Nice fun vibe, time flew by before I knew it.
I'll Kiss You is a bop.
Animal Collective
5/5
You know it's a gem when you scroll down to "Shorts remixing this video" section on youtube and see a video titled "When you have no friends:"
Probably the first album I did a complete 180 on, at first it was annoying, didn't feel like real music, and I cared very little. Now I can't get enough of it. Truly hypnotizing.
Donovan
2/5
Yeah yeah now go play The Age of Aggression or something
Beastie Boys
2/5
Has it's moments but mostly redundant. Both the album and its inclusion in the list
Fun Lovin' Criminals
2/5
The music is fine. I'm not the biggest fan of all the genres they mixed in, but they did it alright.
Not exactly what I would like to hear right after Beastie Boys but oh well. 2.5 just to indicate I liked this better
Big Star
1/5
You know how sometimes you get so fixated on the negative aspects of something that it becomes impossible for you to see the positives? This is not one of those cases, it was awful all the way through.
Parliament
2/5
I cantfunky. Actually, I think I don't even perceive these vintage genres (funk, disco, etc) as real music. I never listened to music like this myself, don't know a single person who did. For me it feels like constructed languages, like someone invented this style to serve as "soundtrack to 70s" to use in movies. Obviously I know it's real, but this mental block is stopping me from understanding/liking this music.
Willie Nelson
2/5
Meh, all sounds the same. Without looking at the titles I wouldn't notice that there was a repeating song
The Saints
2/5
Meh, all sounds the same. I wonder what it takes to hear the difference between this and, for example, Ramones.
Roxy Music
3/5
Someone take the mic away, he's ruining some good music. Just listen to the instrumentals on Chance Meeting, it could be so good...
Liked the instrumentals a lot
Coldplay
3/5
Pretty simple. I like simple music but at the same time I can't feel strongly about it
Boards of Canada
3/5
Good background music for surfing in counter-strike
The Auteurs
3/5
I'm legally obliged to remind you that I hate Beatles every time I hear something Beatles-like. But this was suspiciously fine, I started liking it towards the end. I hope it's not a gateway album, don't want to end up on the streets doing dodgy things for quick money to buy another Beatles record
The Mamas & The Papas
2/5
Every time I liked a song the next song was terrible. But at least I liked some songs, it's more than I hoped for
Isaac Hayes
2/5
Didn't mind it at first, the first song was good. Then I started struggling and went to the reviews to occupy myself with something. That's when I learned that he was Chef from South Park and I couldn't unhear it since
Public Enemy
2/5
>Yo, man, what do you mean by suckers, man? :(
Laughed out loud
Good old old-school hip-hop. Probably as good as it gets
Nvm too long
Björk
3/5
I once tried to learn to beatbox. The only thing I learned was how to pronounce a sound in my language that I was pronouncing wrong.
Unique and confusing. It's very interesting, although sometimes the layered voices don't sound like they work together, but more like one vocal track tries to outscream another. Great concept that didn't do much for me.
Tagaq could voice hollows in Made in Abyss
Jimmy Smith
2/5
You need a high IQ to understand this music
The Beau Brummels
2/5
The folkier songs are nice, the rest is okay
Richard Thompson
2/5
yawn% 0:53 [WR]
Seriously, this guy's vocals are yawn-inducing. Maybe my brain thinks he's yawning while singing, it doesn't happen with female vocals. With the sleepy instrumentals on top of it it's kinda hard to stay focused
Last song was good I think
The Velvet Underground
3/5
I agree, The Murder Mystery is very cool, it reminds me of Chop Suey and maybe some other SOAD song (maybe even several)
Bonnie "Prince" Billy
2/5
Weepy. Idk, it feels too gentle, I want my sad music to suffocate me. Like how can you be so sad yet so calm, I don't get it
Dennis Wilson
2/5
Not as bad as I initially thought, but playing the first three songs without O5 approval should be prohibited
Astor Piazzolla
1/5
As a casual listener I can't evaluate the mastery, I can only evaluate the excitement
The Smiths
3/5
Aren't you supposed to get better at things the more you do them? This is not the first time I catch myself thinking that the earlier album by an artist is much better than what comes later. This one is good when Morrissey doesn't sing into a bucket
Thundercat
5/5
Lol, I thought that Uh Uh sounded like Sonic the Hedgehog power-up music. Imagine my surprise to actually hear a Sonic sample later on
A very fun listen, mostly because of overall immaturity. Loved the lyrics on A Fan's Mail (Tron Song Suite II), Thundercat is my neko. Loved the chill vibe throughout.
T. Rex
2/5
I doubt even nightcore remixing could save this one
Kraftwerk

DOITSU NO KAGAKU WA SEKAI ICHI

Not even kidding, the average commenter for this album on youtube is ~60 years old. I guess there are some benefits in having a bad hearing, you could listen to Bruce Springsteen and pretend it's something good

Very good. I'm not a fan of self-pitying lyrics, but they worked here. Good vibe
King Crimson
2/5
The last two songs are good. 2/5
CHIC

Chit. Second song was good but all the songs are way too long for what they are
Anita Baker
2/5
This reminds me of a cafe my best friend and I used to go to when we were kids. Not as customers, of course, our target was the PC for customers right in the middle of it. We would occupy it for as long as the staff would let us, then go to a nearby electronics store to play on the consoles there or to annoy the cell phone salesman who seemed to not like us but still would come up with something to keep us quiet instead of just kicking us out.
The exact type of music you would play if you wanted as few people as possible to be aware that anything was playing at all.
Fred Neil
2/5
There are various ways a dolphin has of showing that she or he is interested in sex.
Males are probably the easiest to detect. They will swim around, sporting an erection (anywhere between 10 to 14 inches long for a Bottle-nose), and will have no bones about swimming up to you and placing their member within reach of your hand.
If you are in the water, they may rub it along any part of your body, or wrap it around your wrist or ankle. (Dolphin males have a prehensile penis. They can wrap it around objects, and carry them as such.) Their belly will also be pinkish in colour, which also denotes sexual excitement.
Females can be a little harder. The most obvious way a female dolphin has of displaying her sexual interest is the pink-belly effect. Their genitals become very pink and swollen, making the genital region very prominent. They may be restless, or they may be acting as normal. If you are out of the water, they may swim up to you and roll belly up, exposing themselves to you, coupled with pelvic thrusts. If you are in the water, they may press their genitals up against yours, nibble your fingers, nuzzle your crotch, or do pelvic thrusts against you.
Each dolphins way of expressing sexual readiness varies, so the longer you know the dolphin, the better you will detect when they are sexually active.
When a male dolphin is interested in you, about the only thing you can do, if you are male, is to masturbate him. (Unfortunately, I cannot speak for the female of the human species... it seems women just don't like dolphins enough...) WARNING! You should NEVER let a male dolphin attempt anal sex with you. The Bottle-nose dolphin member is around 12 inches, very muscular, and the thrusting and the force of ejaculation (A male can cum as far as 14 feet) would cause serious internal injuries, resulting in peritonitus and possible death.
A male dolphin's member is roughly S-shaped, tapered at the end. If you are in the water with them, it is best to support the dolphin on his side, just under the water, with one hand, and handle him with the other.
Male dolphins, I find, tend to prefer the base of the penis to be gently massaged and squeezed, as well as gently rubbed along it's length. It feels very much like the rest of the dolphin (ie. smooth and rubbery to the touch, but firmer). It doesn't take long for the male to ejaculate, around 40 seconds to a minute, and this is usually accompanied by either shuddering just prior to ejaculating, and thrusting and tail-arching during ejaculation. Bro are you really reading this? Smhing my head. This album was pretty boring and the only thought I had whilst listening wasn't even relevant in the end, but then I read that Fred Neil abandoned his career to protect and conserve dolphins, hence the dolphin sex copypasta. The force of ejaculation can be powerful at times, so it is best to keep your face out of the line of fire, or keep his member underwater. You can attempt to lick and suck on the end of it while masturbating as well, but be warned, do not try to give full throat, and get the hell out of the way before he ejaculates! A male dolphin could snap your neck in an accidental thrust, and that would be the end of that relationship.
Well, the females are again a little trickier. There are two courses of action with a female fin: Masturbation, or mating.
Masturbation: Female dolphins, once they show interest in you, can be supported in much the same way as the male, one hand under the fin, supporting her, the other doing the stimulating.
The clitoris of the female is located at the top of the genital slit, and is a prominent lump when erect. You can rub this with your finger tips, or lick and suck it, but with the oral aspect, you might end up with a bruised nose as they thrust up into you. You can slide your hand gently into their genital opening, and feel around inside, rubbing gently. They feel warm and muscular inside, their labia like tough, squishy sponge when they are excited.
Don't be surprised if they start to play with your hand inside them. They have very manipulative muscles, and can use them to carry and manipulate objects, including your hand. (They can do things that would make a regular human woman turn green with envy.) Their climax is coupled with stiffening, shuddering, sometimes a lot of thrusting, clinching of the vaginal muscles, and sometimes vocalisation.
Mating: This is harder. Obviously, being human, it is awkward, but not impossible to mate in open water. It is easier to have the dolphin in a shallow area (like the shallows just off the beach) around 1 1/2 to 2 feet deep. This is usually comfortable enough for both the dolphin and you. Gently, you should roll the dolphin on her side, so she is lying belly-towards you. You can prop yourself up on an elbow, and lie belly to belly against her. You may want to use the other arm to gently hold her close, and place the tip of your member against her genital slit. She will, if interested, arch her body up against you, taking you inside her body.
There is usually a fair bit of wriggling and shifting, usually to get comfortable, both outside and inside. Once comfortable, though, females initiate a series of muscular vaginal contractions that rub the entire length of your member. They may also thrust rhythmically against you, so enjoy the experience while you can, since you will rarely last longer that a minute or two. Just prior to her climaxing, she will up the speed of her contractions and thrusts. It is interesting to note that the times I have mated with females, thay have timed their orgasm to mine. Whether they do this consciously or not, I do not know, but it is a great feeling to have two bodies shuddering against each other at the one time.
One thing to note. Whether you masturbate or mate a dolphin, male or female, always spend time with them afterwards. Cuddle them, rub them, talk to them and most importantly, and show them you love them. This is essential, as it helps to strengthen the bond between you. Like a way of saying that this wasn't just a one night fling. The dolphins appreciate it, and they will want your company more the next time you visit them.
The War On Drugs
3/5
The Haunting Idle is right up my alley, and the rest of the second half is also better than first
Robbie Williams
3/5
When I saw this cover (which was some time ago, but it looked cool so I remembered it) I thought it was gonna be something else entirely. How dare you look like an angry gremlin on the cover and sound so soft. I want some angry gremlin music!!! UPPERCASE!
Despite that it was alright
Stereo MC's
2/5
Not bad but tiresome
The Jesus And Mary Chain
3/5
I really like those circular saw sound effects, feedback and other noisy elements, but I don't like the base songs. Don't think they work well together
Still enjoyed it
Beck
2/5
Like Odelay, this feels like it's everything and nothing at the same time. Dunno, not feeling it right now
Jack White

Pretty listenable. Doesn't really move me but at least it's not boring
David Bowie

The Isley Brothers
3/5
Pleasant and forgettable. The most memorable parts were the guitar solos, they were cool. Gee, 3 is too high, it feels...
The Coral
3/5
It was fun at first but got boring rather quickly. Liked the first two songs, Skeleton Key and Waiting for the Heartaches
Soundgarden
3/5
Accidentally listened to this one not long ago, didn't even think to check if it was on the list. Luckily, I still remember my impression, more or less. "Heard before" counter: 2/4
4th Of July was the reason I decided to listen to the whole album in the first place. It was so fucking good that I couldn't help comparing everything else to it and being dissapointed. While there's a lot of variety, and while I like most of the styles presented, it still sounds pretty generic
But again, I like it. Just mad that not every song is 4th Of July
Brian Wilson
2/5
Mostly not my sound but has a couple of good songs that sound a lot like Animal Collective
Radiohead
4/5
Not a single bad song. Not quite as unique as their later music, but they're getting there, you can feel it.
Really liked the second half, from Just to the (amazing) last song
Scott Walker
1/5
Name "Scott" was already taken, but he found a brilliant solution.
>The album failed to chart and was deleted soon after. It has been speculated that Walker's decision to release the album under his birth name of Scott Engel contributed to its chart failure.
It says a lot when a must-hear album fails to chart without a popular name to back it up. I hate this album so much, and I haven't even started listening to it yet
Well, it's the same shit as last time, but without the more energetic part, here all the songs are boring.
And if you're curious about his album with Sunn O))), I listened to it too. It's, well... their drone metal plus his operatic singing, lol. And it sounds surprisingly okay. Comical at times, but okay. This makes me think that I don't care about how or what he is singing, I only care about the instruments. Which sucked on Scott 4
Johnny Cash
2/5
The music is alright. Sadly, I can't understand what he's saying, it seems crucial here
The Smiths
2/5
Meh. This music is so sloooow. As for the lyrics, I don't know if "pretentious" is the right word, but "bad" surely is
Dead Kennedys
2/5
They've got the spirit, reminds me a lot of System of a Down. Probably because I listened to them in reverse order this one sounds undeveloped, rather than influential
Madonna
4/5
Wow! Usually when a pop singer has a good voice they draw all the attention from the music to it, which is good for singles, but makes the whole album sound the same (and often boring). Here I think they found the perfect balance
Shanti / Ashtangi sounds like a LocoRoco song
Slipknot
5/5
Stupid loud fun, sometimes it's all I want. Great energy, impossible not to headbang
Somewhat related: Yesterday I saw a girl who was about 8-10 years old wearing a Cannibal Corpse logo T-shirt. Hope it's her dad's sense of humour and not a randomly picked one
Curtis Mayfield
3/5
Pretty good. Smooth and funky
Depeche Mode
5/5
I guess I'm a mass, I really enjoyed it. Chill, monotonous, almost meditative. I disliked I Want You Now, but the intro in To Have and to Hold is (almost) the only Russian phrase I've heard in 1001 so I'll give this album some nepotism points
Hole
3/5
Mid pop rock, but has some good moments
Happy Mondays

Went from thinking it was quite good to hating the vocals to begging it to end. Honestly think the vocals ruined the vibe

Nirvana
3/5
Heart Shaped Box is one of my favourite songs ever. The rest of the album is very hit-or-miss.
What I don't like about Nirvana is that Kurt has all the emotions but still sounds dead inside while singing. Songs like Very Ape suffer from it imo.
I once told a girl she should listen to Nirvana. She responded 3 minutes later saying something like "yeah, good song". I asked her to send me the "song" she's talking about and she sent me the most generic pop song called "Nirvana". You have no idea how pissed I was.
Gotan Project
2/5
It's fine, but there's nothing to love it for
Rush
3/5
Fine guitar masturbation. Gets a little boring but it does have some nice melodies
Peter Frampton

It didn't have to be a live album. It didn't have to be a double album. It didn't have to be
Cat Stevens
1/5
Didn't like it one bit
Cocteau Twins
5/5
Strong wistful vibe. Filled me with something like that feeling of nostalgia for something that you've never experienced, but instead of nostalgia it's regret. Not for anything in particular, just feels like "the past"
Loved it
Red Hot Chili Peppers
4/5
Some great songs, less rapping than in Blood Sugar (thank god). I think the hooks were really nice
The Adverts
3/5
Not too shabby. Some catchy tunes. If only it weren't for the ugly double voice effect or whatever canon punk technique that is. I tried unfocusing my ears like you do with your eyes when looking at stereograms but it didn't work.
Madonna
2/5
It's alright but doesn't grab me
ABBA
2/5
I find it annoying how upbeat and cheerful they try to sound, but musically it feels like something that would play in the end of some old romantic drama. But even I can appreciate Money, Money, Money
George Harrison
2/5
I like this better than Beatles. Not by much, and the length certainly doesn't help, but it's listenable
Honestly, the last 30 minutes really tested my patience. Still don't think it's a 1-star level
The Dandy Warhols
3/5
Some weird stuff, some high highs. Pretty fun overall
Tom Waits

Cringe
David Bowie
2/5
First and last songs were awful, the instrumental ones were pretty nice
Motörhead
1/5
Liked it at first, but it's literally the same song on repeat for 40 minutes. When I started listening I read the lyrics of Jailbait and lold out loud, but by the time I reached that song I was already fed up, so won't praise it even ironically
Neil Young & Crazy Horse
2/5
It's disappointing how average it sounds. Even the Crazy Horse who I liked the last time sounds like one more faceless boomer rock band here
Bad Brains
3/5
It was interesting. Some songs had absolutely unpredictable switches like it becomes a completely different song for 1-2 bars and then goes back, that was confusing.
Oh it's album 420
Re-Ignition
Elton John
2/5
Man it was boring. Fine background music, no more than that

Mostly didn't care but Violence made me want to apply some to them
3/5
It was fine. I think I'm starting to understand what "prog" means and kind of like it
Robert Wyatt
4/5
>Ctrl+F "gyatt"
>0/0
😔
Interesting music, could hate it in the wrong mindset. Second song was funny. Blues In Bob Minor was really good
Liked the mellowness, even if some songs sounded like shleep paralyshish OSTs.
George Michael
2/5
Music to leave the movie theater to
Bauhaus
3/5
Some of the songs sound like they were meant to be regular pop songs but were made weirder to fit the album. Aside from that it's a nice album, especially the last 2 songs
Hanoi Rocks
2/5
It's not terrible. Not remarkable either, even by the genre's standards
Def Leppard
2/5
Meh is an understatement
Roxy Music
3/5
I support the censoring, these nipples are ugly
Started good. Occasional sax was nice. Got a bit boring towards the end
Willie Nelson
3/5
Just a chill little album. Perfect match for today's rainy weather.
KISS
2/5
We're driving drunk to this one!!!
That's what we'd say if we weren't teetotalers, knew how to drive, and didn't find this music mediocre
Badly Drawn Boy
2/5
Nice sound. Not very interesting though, it kinda never goes anywhere. It has very small segments that I found great, but for the majority of the runtime I was bored
This Song was a bad idea
The Jam
3/5
Not too punk, I enjoyed it for a while. First half - 4, second half - 2
Lloyd Cole And The Commotions
2/5
Didn't like it at first, then kind of warmed up to it, but more like didn't find it bad enough to hate. Was okay
The Waterboys
4/5
My expectations couldn't be any lower: unremarkable cover, "blues" in the title. Then without noticing I'm swaying in the bed fully immersed in the music. Immaculate vibe in the first two songs. A lot going on in the instrumentals.
I think I just like fiddles
Mudhoney
3/5
Stared at the wall to it a lot. I also almost fell asleep at some point but can't really tell when.
Liked much: Check-Out Time and Broken Hands
The Roots
2/5
Can't understand the lyrics and not gonna try. Mostly doesn't sound too good, but songs with female vocal hooks have a nice vibe
A bunch of unsuccessful experiments. Rhymes And Ammo is more classic yet actually sounds good
Jean-Michel Jarre
3/5
Honestly, even today it sounds weird. I can only imagine how it felt when it was released. Cool
Oh, I've heard part 4 before
The Flying Burrito Brothers
2/5
Magical album. Every time I press play it makes me want to do more productive things. Will put on and not listen to it many times in the future
Liked the outro in Hot Burrito #2
Pet Shop Boys
2/5
Because of Pet Sounds I thought it was The Beach Boys. I'm so glad it wasn't
I wish the first song never ended, it was so good~
Such a shame, it only went downhill from there. Some nice chill songs but mostly snoozers
Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan
3/5
Mister book author filled the quota. Good for him. Good for everyone. Mister book author wrote that the artist... did not live to see 9/11? Uhhhhh, not sure why that was important but okay
Nice to hear something new for a change. I have no desire to listen to it again, but it was fun, and not just because it's exotic.
MC Solaar
2/5
>Ce monde caca-pipi-caca-pipitaliste
Couldn't have said it better myself, comrade
It was fun for like 4 songs but this seems to be my limit for french hip-hop. Not as bad as I thought it would be though, at the very least he has a good taste in beats
Common
1/5
They say segregation was bad but the woman on the cover looks neatly dressed, wearing airpods, it couldn't have been that bad
What makes rappers think their albums are worth the runtime? This rapping is as impressive as leaving the first comment
Moby
4/5
Colour me impressed, I expected it to be a couple of well known hits surrounded by songs nobody knows of for a good reason. There isn't one.
Guided By Voices
1/5
This is what you hear when you miss all the notes in Guitar Hero
OutKast
2/5
Inspired by pirate NES multicarts. I think I liked the first half better, but they're both not my thing. Not bad tho, there are some nice songs like My Favorite Things
Lightning Bolt
5/5
High energy aggressive noise. Excellent
Dexys Midnight Runners
2/5
First song was decent. Or so I thought, can't agree with myself after finishing the album.
The songs get slower and slower, and I get more and more bored
Kanye West
4/5
"I encourage you to do the same when a Kanye record gets generated for you: Find an album you love from a Jewish artist and stream that instead."
lmaoooo his struggle
Very good album from the beats to the flows. Can't say I liked everything on it just because of the autotuned songs.
Hot Chip
3/5
We disavow.
Reminded me of a short period in my life when the radio was my only entertainment and I had to search for something listenable. I was switching between a station that played music like this and talk stations. The memories, good and bad. Mostly bad.
I didn't like the slower songs much but Look at Where We Are is hella good.
Fatboy Slim
3/5
Got me tapping my feet and nodding along
k.d. lang

I thought it was a dude... Had to replenish lost testosterone by watching gorillas fight
Louis Prima

I just can't with this music
Paul Simon
2/5
You Can Call Me Al
generated
Justin Timberlake
3/5
Blandest pop imaginable.
It's alright. Not as tiresome as I thought it would be, although I only listened to it as background music. As it's supposed to be listened to, I reckon
Scissor Sisters
2/5
Lovers In The Backseat is the most toned-down song on the album so far and actually the most pleasant. And by toned-down I mean the pitch of the vocalist's voice
The last two songs are nice too. Return To Oz is great even
Bee Gees
2/5
I listened to this and played Roblox's Only Up at the same time. Guess which activity I liked more
The Bees
3/5
Second half is decent relaxing music, Sky Holds the Sun is bloody brilliant. Didn't care about the first half
Talvin Singh
2/5
The opener doesn't sound good, feels like it's two different songs playing at the same time. It gets better with the 3rd song, I can hear the synergy now
The title song is ok. It's ok, could see myself listening to it in case I needed some fun brain afk music
Germs
2/5
Some time ago I checked my old school friend's social media page and saw a song he wrote for some art project. It sounded exactly like Communist Eyes, with the only exception being my friend singing much quieter. And he's not a musician, he's a painter
Buena Vista Social Club
2/5
Me gustaed it for a while. Liked that it was in Spanish, if it was in English I probably would've decided it was old man music and not even tried to get into it. I still didn't get into it, but I don't regret listening to this album
Linkin Park
5/5
Neck workout
Tina Turner
2/5
Since she's clearly not a fan of ending songs and would rather repeat the same 3 lines over and over again why not go further and make the songs literally infinite, so the listener could skip to the next song after deciding they've thoroughly enjoyed it. I would skip rather early then
Milton Nascimento
1/5
Por favor bordón de fallar muchos gracias de fallar gracias
The most boring Spanish music
Nas
3/5
No, I don't know what you're saying, but go on, it's nice enough
The album ended before I noticed it. The vibe was good
Supergrass
3/5
Started good but didn't keep up. The last song was awful
Terence Trent D'Arby
1/5
Maybe it's not that bad but I can't stand it. Was very hard to finish.
Jamiroquai
3/5
Pretty good. Not my thing but it's funky and not annoying
Joni Mitchell
2/5
I might have PTSD, the first second of the second song reminded me of this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sHjojY2B1eo
It was alright. Kind of weird how it's old-fashioned and experimental at the same time
Napalm Death
3/5
It was okay. I was told that with time your brain would get used to the usual stimulation and it would force you to seek out more and more perverted genres, but it never happened to me.
Crowded House
3/5
Some nice music. Soft and enjoyable
David Bowie
2/5
Bro cooked something inedible. No wonder he pretended not to have made it. Outro in Stay was nice
Golden years, gwa gwa gwa
The Stooges
2/5
Went from meh to kinda catchy, Dirt was good. I liked the chaotic spirit of the last song, but didn't like the song itself
A Tribe Called Quest
2/5
Dr. Pepper and the music whore tried. I find it really funny how early hip-hop had some absolutely random lyrics.
For early hip-hop it's a good album I guess, and even today it's listenable. For me the best part was the Busta Rhymes' verse, and maybe when one of them finally changed the flow in Infamous Date Rape
Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
4/5
Wow! This dog is cute.
While listening I was looking for a word to describe this album and heard "cosy". I'll go with it, it's cosy. I don't want to sing along or dance to it, I just want to listen
The average commentator for it is ~70yo, if you're interested. I feel old for not hating it
Ravi Shankar
2/5
The tutorial concept is cool. It didn't help but I appreciate the effort
Spiritualized
2/5
Underwhelming. Supposed to be atmospheric but I didn't feel it, so maybe my mood is to blame
Leonard Cohen
3/5
Simple guitar, which fits his voice. Nice
JAY Z
2/5
Thought it was good but got tired of it about halfway through. Eminem was too late to save it
Baaba Maal
2/5
Kinda silly, didn't really interest me. Was not bad, but he could've been recording videos of himself saying "subscribe to keemstar" instead, so he gets a lower score
Lana Del Rey
2/5
Idk. I like some LDR songs but this album highlights everything I don't like about her music
Elvis Costello & The Attractions
2/5
Hehe, Goon Squad.
When he sings normally it's pretty listenable, the melodies are ok, I have nothing against it. But his second singing voice ruins everything.
Bruce Springsteen
3/5
Surprisingly good boomer music. No bad songs, Born to Run is a bop
Iggy Pop
2/5
Whatchu laughing at? You think it's funny? We have a fucking comedian here. Can't wait for ironic era to pass, people don't take anything seriously
Black Sabbath
3/5
FX was unexpected, really cool, Changes was bad. The rest was better than their earlier albums, more variety in melodies, which I like
Hawkwind
2/5
I've heard the phrase "Orgone Accumulator" before. To be precise, I've heard the phrase "I've built an orgone accumulator and it's now my waifu". More context is required but I won't give it
Considered giving it a 3, but those drug-induced monologues outweighed the pretty good instrumentals. When they weren't singing, I mostly enjoyed it
Belle & Sebastian
3/5
I'm a bit confused. Why are people here using the word "twee" like it's something bad?
Tweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Dion
2/5
Sounds like something that was released 50 years ago
The Magnetic Fields
2/5
69 album reviews
• With an album as huge as this one it would be easier to go song by song, so, on a scale from 0 to 1, where 1 is bueno and 0 is no bueno: 011100000110110001110011010010110110100101101100011011000100110101100101
• You 'member tiktok? Some of these songs remind me of those low-effort tiktok songs about the importance of consent or something idk
• I once thought it would be a funny performance to write 1089 songs about each album I've heard here, compile them into one album, write a wiki article and then submit it for user albums. You're lucky I don't know shit about making music
• If you're gonna write 69 songs about love it better be all kinds of love. I feel underrepresented, there's only 2 songs about necrophilia and just 1 same-sex african-american love song
• Nice
• You might think that I'm retarded for writing 69 reviews but I'm actually making a point here. Notice how with every review I get lazier and more off-topic because I just need to write something that passes as a review. Not that my regular reviews are any better but... oh fuck off
• I really wanted to hate it for it's length but it's not that bad. Filler-filled, yes, but somehow it's not boring, I'm curious about what I will hear next
• How hard would it be to notice if one of these songs was AI-generated? A friend of mine made a meme song, just threw some random notes and let the AI finish everything. He also used AI-generated lyrics, and that was what gave it away, but the music itself sounded alright.
What I'm getting at, I've seen plenty reviews for other albums saying something like "yeah the music is shit but I can tell it takes a lot of musicianship to make". But let's be real, it's frickiny pop, AI could do it and we wouldn't notice
• I usually avoid romantic movies, animes, etc. I mean, they are great, it's easy to squeeze a tear out of me so I like almost every one of them, but they eventually end and I'm back to reality. Reality sucks. At least this album never ends
• The longer it goes on the more I like it. As is usually the case with music. Maybe every album should be 3h long? Or even longer? I will try it next time I see a 150th anniversary edition album with 20 hours of extra content
• Remember This Song from The Hour Of Bewilderbeast? Well, turns out not only it was a bad idea, they were not even first to do it. Abigail, Belle of Kilronan is literally the same and I can't listen to it. The only song I skipped in the entirety of 1001 (so far) and it was not because it was bad, but because I felt physically unwell listening to it
• I feel like I've matured a lot during since the beginning of the project. Something as immature as this album has no place in my heart anymore
• I mean, they could've at least made a tl;dl version
• Experimental review Experimen evi ntaview perital re rimtal revieExp mentaExperimntal revieental review. Don't know what to call this song if I pretty much called the other ones "low-effort"
• It was a 3 at some point, but they didn't quit while they were ahead. Too bad
• What do you mean "Baby don't hurt me" is not from this album? I've been waiting for it...
• It's crazy to see people commenting "new favorite from the album" under some of these songs. They all sound identical. Or maybe they don't, but the whole experience is so drawn out you can't really tell
• Okay maybe not 69, the album's ended, that's all I have
Jorge Ben Jor
3/5
Really catchy. I'm not the biggest fan of French music, but when it's good - it's good
Gram Parsons
2/5
Slow sad country. Ew
The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion
3/5
Noise and screaming. Very stupid. Noice
I don't like blues or punk much, but here they kind of negate each other. The combination makes it actually enjoyable
Travis
3/5
Interesting in parts. But only in parts, the majority of it is generic britpop (which I, apparently, do fancy)
First song sounds a bit like Wonderwall. Not as good, of course.
The vibes are there, quite melancholic. Good music
The Allman Brothers Band
2/5
Not criminally boring but definitely in a grey area
The Undertones
2/5
Meh, very samey. Could be worse if every song sounded like Casbah Rock, I guess. It was bad and annoying, while the rest was just bad
Simon & Garfunkel
1/5
Anyways, it's a two billion year-old like, rock...
Eagles
2/5
Tasteless. Should've chosen between country and rock'n'roll after all
3/5
New headphones, new me. I have decided that I will like this album.
Yeah, nah. It's honestly not bad, just a bit basic.
The Darkness
2/5
Why would anyone make music like this in 2003. I mean it's fine, especially I Believe in a Thing Called Love, but let the genre die already
Radiohead
3/5
I really need to listen to their albums in chronological order. I liked it, but not as much as I thought I would and I can't even tell why
3/5
Interesting list of influences, personally I heard more Queen in it than anything else. Not bad at all
Metallica
3/5
Maybe I was too harsh on Metallica, it's simply built differently than Slayer. More creative musically, but less fierce. Makes sense, you can't expect a brute to fight aesthetically pleasing, they will swing their club and try to hit as hard as they can.
Today I was able to appreciate this album more, To Live Is to Die is something Slayer could never make.
Tortoise
4/5
Cool relaxed sound. Liked Glass Museum and Along the Banks of Rivers, but most importantly got interested in the band. Ima listen to more of their stuff, might be a hidden gem
Slayer
4/5
Such a breath of fresh air after Metallica. Fast and very aggressive, gets my blood pumping. It's probably dangerous at my age, but I'm willing to take the risk, this music is worth it
Joe Ely
2/5
Classic country. Not my thing, but didn't hate it
Abdullah Ibrahim
3/5
One of my favourite rappers recently made a jazz-grime song that stuck in my head for 5 days and counting. I wished it was the moment jazz would click for me, but alas. I liked this album, but I'm still not there yet
And the last song isn't great
Orbital
2/5
Boris did Time Becomes better in Flood
Did you know twitch made a DJs category? I coincidentally learned about it today. This music would fit there perfectly
Some decent songs, but too repetitive. Recognised It's a Fine Day in the last song, though I thought it was the same band. I guess Orbital is not that bad if they can be confused with it.
Big Star
1/5
Thirteen is such a nice sweet song and I'm glad to see so many people here being supportive of outlawed love
But it was really boring
Dirty Projectors
2/5
Complex to the point it feels random. Am I allowed to say it's too artsy if I like Björk, and it's surely influenced by her?
The Black Keys
2/5
I quite liked Never Gonna Give You Up but it's not the song I'll be thinking of when I hear that name. Apart from it nothing really stood out
Genesis
2/5
It's got a few interesting instrumental moments but it's just too long for me and I don't like the singer's voice
Lucinda Williams
2/5
Coulda been gooder. Joy kinda woke me up near the end, reminded me of The Pretty Reckless. Just a bit
CHIC
2/5
Good Times good. The songs are too long + I don't really care for the genre
American Music Club
2/5
Listening to one of the most average sounding albums and then suddenly Pale and Skinny Girl happens.
The last two songs were also fine
Don McLean
2/5
Eh, the movie was better
The Sugarcubes
3/5
Goofy af but I like it
Ray Charles
2/5
Listened to the Skibidi Toilet song right after just to confirm - not really modern. But fine nonetheless
The Byrds
1/5
If I were one of the boys that don't finish their vegetables, 10 seconds of this would be enough
Some songs might not have been that bad, but I shed a tear or two from yawning too hard
3/5
Hugest bait right off the bat
While I'd say they are one hit wonders, it's still a good album. I just don't use the word "wonder" lightly
Wonderwall is wonderful, I wonder what all the hate is about
Calexico
3/5
Attack! El Robot! Attack! and Black Heart were cool. Nice atmosphere
Pere Ubu
2/5
Smartschoolboy9 core
Reminds me of The Residents, except The Residents are both weird and listenable
The Byrds
1/5
Notoriety well deserved. Could be a skewed perception because I literally just listened to them a few days ago, but somehow I doubt it
Duke Ellington
1/5
50s Tom and Jerry music again. Didn't like
Turbonegro
2/5
For authors of Rendezvous With Anus they sound too soft. Yes, I expected some death metal and I'm disappointed. Of course it's punk
Not the worst
The Jesus And Mary Chain
3/5
It was pretty chill. The faster songs have a 60s sound to them, but just the right amount
Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five
2/5
Robot voice song was good
Check yourself before you wr- Oh, never mind
Only saw the release date after the listen, had no idea it was so old. Doesn't change my rating, but it is impressive
Beatles
3/5
I can't believe it. It feels so wrong
It was so fun to clown the Beatles at every given opportunity, but all good things come to an end. This album is good. Their best even. Not perfect, there is still some of the usual garbage but it takes up a small amount of space this time
Too bad the Beatles are no more. They have ceased to be. They've expired and gone to meet their maker right after they started writing decent music
Paul Simon
2/5
First song was quite good reggae, second song had a good instrumental. The rest was rubbish
Dr. Octagon
1/5
The only comedic part of this that I found funny was his flow. I can only guess what the lyrics are, but if they are the same old "throw in as many edgy bars as possible to shock somebody's grandma", then I didn't lose much
Beatles
2/5
Run For Your Life was nice. Didn't care about the rest and honestly forgot why I hated them
Elvis Presley
2/5
The cover might look like he's singing. He's yawning
A few days ago I couldn't finish the first song. Demoralizing
Bob Dylan
2/5
Just Harmonika
Talking Heads
2/5
Well, they'd found a new sound. I understand that you have to be willing to create something unlistenable in order to make an omelette, but all I hear is some cool ideas completely ruined by trying to be purposefully punk. Maybe the cool part here is Brian Eno
Serge Gainsbourg
3/5
I can see how it influenced many musical artists. Not musically
This story could be told in a touching way, I wouldn't know. Rating based on the instrumentals
Creedence Clearwater Revival
1/5
New competitor for the worst album I've heard here
The only moment I got livened up was when I noticed that the guy who uploaded this album to youtube wrote "good album" in the title. Fuck youtube and its clickbait titles rock is the devil's music Mr. Beast did nothing wrong
Otis Redding
2/5
Music to fall asleep to. But I'm not a fan of sleeping with music on, it seeps inside the dream and mutes every character scaring me into thinking I'm losing hearing
Giant Sand
3/5
Some of it sounds like the kind of music Bob Dylan would be making if he were still alive
The harsher tracks were a pleasant surprise, it would've been very boring otherwise
Fiona Apple
3/5
My cat does what she did in the end of I Want You To Love Me
It's unusual. I like it
Soft Cell

I don't want to say it was bad because I actually liked it but it probably was bad
Röyksopp

Apart from my initial disappointment that it wasn't post-rock, it was nice
Run-D.M.C.

How little people needed back in the day
Neil Young & Crazy Horse
2/5
Has its moments (first and last songs). Can't say much good about the rest
Malcolm McLaren

Now that's what I was talking about when I said something about stealing from artists who are actually good
George Jones

Modern technologies made it possible to save some who would not have made it just fifty years ago. Sadly, even with 8 parallel subway surfers videos lined up in a osu! world cup manner, this one is still beyond saving
Time of death, 1:49
Prince
2/5
80s slop
The Modern Lovers
3/5
Listened to the original release first, found it quite good. Thinking "yo, I should check out the bonus tracks then" I listen to Government Center and it's one of the worst songs ever songed
Hospital is very nice tho
Alice Cooper
2/5
The Hungarian prodigy is at it again
Well, I've asked for a necrophilia song myself, so in a way it's my fault too. But at the same time it is the only good song from the album
Sade
2/5
SmooooOOooooth. And also kinda boring towards the end
Fever Ray
4/5
Strong Björk vibes. I'm into it
Dr. John
2/5
This is what I thought psychedelia to be before 1001. A very demanding listen. Demanding the same amount of drugs that was used to create the album
4/5
Had to listen multiple times to make sure I don't just like it because it's different
Really the liked ZX Spectrum noises in There's Always Room on the Broom, vibed to the second half of Flow My Tears the Spider Said. And the sound in general was just pleasant to me
Robert Wyatt
2/5
Now this is an album I appreciate for being different but don't particularly like

Okay, because of the cover I expected something truly disgusting, but it opened with a really catchy pop song. All is forgiven
Was fine
The Specials
2/5
Inoffensive, but feels very long because it's pretty much the same song
Missy Elliott
3/5
More albums should feature Busta Rhymes. Preferably, on every song. The album artist's presence is optional
It had some laughable lyrics like "I'm such a good rapper". Don't know if it was sincere or not, but I had a good laugh
Izzy Ahh song was the best
Tangerine Dream
2/5
I don't like space. Always get this uneasy feeling whenever I see a universe zoom out video. Devoids me of any sense of meaning. "I'm so insignificant, yet I'm all I have" kind of feeling
This is (bad) good music, it makes me feel (bad), makes me imagine (bad) things. If only I liked space
What do you even do in space, get hit by an asteroid?
Deerhunter
2/5
A bit interesting, but I feel like if you only enjoy psychedelia xor indie, this will be a frustrating listen. It was for me
PJ Harvey
4/5
Cool! Very nice sound, sort of like Sonic Youth but without m*les (ew) (🤮)
Big fan of loud. My old ears can not hear very well, here I could hear the music like half of the time
John Martyn
3/5
Swings between good and bad with every song
N.E.R.D

Nice enough
TV On The Radio

This album was slept on by me

They're like the modern day Beatles. Shite, if you will
Tim Buckley
2/5
Mostly ok
Kate Bush
2/5
Reminded me of that one Marina song from tiktok, didn't know who Marina was, thought it was actually Kate Bush's song
Lowkey unlistenable, more unhinged than her other albums for sure
Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark
3/5
I'm 50. Loved it since 87. By the time I turn ~20 I will probably stop loving it so I have to make the most of it while I still can
Soft Machine
2/5
Schizo music
into And then he got... this run music
into Slightly different than usual Robert Wyatt music
into Electronic jazz music? I honestly don't know
All in all, not the worst Third on this list, but not the best either
Astrud Gilberto
2/5
A woman sings to an awkward elevator meme song, circus accompaniment, and more! Peak Italian music
Beyoncé
2/5
The only Beyoncé song I like is Beautiful Liar, and now I think it's carried by Shakira. I don't like rap mixed with pop, even though I like them separately. Would like this be more rap
Happy Mondays

I could pick out some cool moments, like the outros or the shoegaze song, but the core of it is not very interesting

It was fine. I liked Insect Eyes

Jangling indeed. Can see how it influenced Arctic Monkeys and Oasis. Musically
Nice and relaxing
Dizzee Rascal
3/5
Not my favourite grime album, but I wagwaned all over my chair when I saw it generated
Heard it before, but a good ting about aging is you keep forgetting tings. I forgot what this album was like
Nothing special except 2 Far
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
3/5
I'm sleepy af and found this music great for spacing out and being surprised by sudden time leaps

In other circumstances I would have turned it off the very moment he opened his mouth. How come lisp is not a keyword
Madonna
2/5
Standard pop didn't age too well. Unlike me
Spiritualized
2/5
Honestly, it was unsettling. Like, first I heard what I figure was the main track, and then slowly shifted the focus to the cursed track that you can hear in the background and got creeped out
The Cars
2/5
Did you know that there's a subreddit called "fuckcars" with almost half a million members? Yeah. Deserved
ABBA
4/5
There's something about this melancholic nostalgic pop from before you was born. Or maybe it just caught me in the right state of mind
Cocteau Twins
4/5
To me every song sounds like a closer to me every song sounds like a closer to me every song sounds like a closer to me every song sounds like a closer to me
Cool unique sound
Talking Heads
2/5
Some of these songs are unlistenable, some are ok
Uncool ununique I really had to force myself to finish it
Echo And The Bunnymen
2/5
The Killing Moon was great, the rest is not my thing
Not terrible
Missy Elliott
3/5
A little too much yapping for my liking but the raps were good
Merle Haggard
2/5
Country is music for a certain mood. I'm yet to discover what mood that is, but maybe my 90th birthday would change something. We'll see next year
The Pretty Things
2/5
Item plops
Block broken
Block breaking
< Footsteps
< Eerie sound >
Donald Fagen
1/5
Kurwa jaki nudny album. Had to start learning polish to entertain myself somehow
Fairport Convention
2/5
First half of the album was alright, everything after A Sailor's Life was boring, and holy fuck Million Dollar Bash is the worst song in existence
Everything But The Girl
1/5
Such a relief to see "boring" as the top keyword. Feels good to finally agree with people here. Ahh can't wait to listen to another Bob Dylan album, now that's real music
Michael Kiwanuka
3/5
2nd song sounds like Born to be Wild. It sounds good so no complaints here. Also liked Final Days
Maybe a bit too many sleepy songs
Flamin' Groovies
1/5
It had good moments. If it was generic rock all the way through it would've been pretty enjoyable, but they really really wanted to stand out
Frank Sinatra
2/5
Tall ✗
Tan ✗
Young ✗
Lovely ✗
Girl ✗
From Ipanema ✗
Goes walking ✗
No wonder I'm grumpy all the time...
While not that interesting, it was perfectly listenable
The Replacements
2/5
They seem talented
When I did things as a kid I used to pretend I wasn't trying (even if I was). Simple cope - if you haven't tried your best then you're not actually trash at whatever you've tried. You can always do better, you just don't want to. And then you never improve. And I guess to others it seemed like I was talented, just didn't apply myself
This is how I often feel about punk - a get out of jail free card for cowardly musicians. It could've sounded good, but who knows. They never tried
Arcade Fire
2/5
Too pompous for me. And sad. Not in a "makes you sad" way, but in a "some guy you barely know is sharing his misery with you but you would rather be somewhere else" way
Ramblin' Jack Elliott
1/5
Fascinating how with just vocals and guitar he can inflict so much pain
Little Simz
4/5
I'm pretty sure it's not really a 4 estrellas level, but man does it feel good to finally listen to something modern that isn't modern-retro. It's like people saying there are still good games being released, you ask them to name a 100, they do, and it's all remasters
Christina Aguilera
2/5
I don't remember where I've read this thought but it applies perfectly here. Artists with exceptional vocal skills very rarely produce interesting music, they are more focused on displaying the skills
She hits notes like she's playing Osu!, got an impressive range and all that, but you can't expect me to keep a soy face for 80 minutes
The Rolling Stones
2/5
As exciting as speedrunning time management games
John Lennon
2/5
Oh no, no Ono on it OnO She makes Beatles fans seethe, so I wanted to hear what she's like. Unlucky
Good old repeating the same line technique, bad new shouty singing, and a whole lot of mother issues. I don't see anything special in it
Doves
3/5
Much echo and reverb, pleasant vibe. Just nice to listen to
The Boo Radleys
2/5
Shoegaze for normies I guess. Feels like an attempt to fuse several genres together without trying to understand what makes each genre good. Not that bad, but didn't like it still
The Crusaders
2/5
Wow. At one point I literally thought "I'm bored, maybe I should put on some music". Absolute white noise to me
Dagmar Krause
3/5
Marching tunes, Scott Walkerlike singing. Can't quite tell what it reminds me of. Every theatrical singing grandma reminds me of Pugacheva, but this time the nostalgic vibes are stronger, sounds a lot like older soviet music. Maybe it's the movies about WWII. Oh, maybe Bella Ciao? Either way, it's nice music. Wouldn't mind hearing it again
Mylo
2/5
Nah, Rock & Roll's gonna get killed by SOAD a year later
Mr book author didn't know that 1001 was a big number and when he ran out of albums that you could at least pretend were important enough, it was time for the middest albums he could recall
Beth Orton
2/5
UOOOOOHHHHHHH
Was gonna rate it 5/5, but then I looked at her other photos. Guess I'll have to listen to the album after all
The first song was good, the rest is significantly worse
Faust
1/5
German clowns' alarm clock sounds
Bee Gees
2/5
Woohoo! Another Beatles reskin!
Roxy Music
1/5
I didn't even know I knew the word "warbly". It just came up in my head
Just annoying
The Doors
2/5
Faceless unremarkable rock. Not bad, not good
Stevie Wonder
2/5
Today I learned that Gangsta's Paradise came from this. Masterpiece. Maybe if the album was shorter Pastime Paradise would've solo carried, but it is what it is. Apart from THE song I only liked instrumentals in a couple of others
Elvis Costello & The Attractions
2/5
Nope, still not into it. Ask again in 100 days
Julian Cope
2/5
, Seethe, Dilate
Some of these songs are marginally less bad than the others and are technically the standouts. E.g. Safesurfer
Dolly Parton
2/5
Very old, bland. Someone called it a "museum piece". Fitting, really
Shack
3/5
Hey, they weren’t bad. Nothing special, just nice inoffensive music
Willie Colón & Rubén Blades
3/5
Hehe, Willy Colon
It was fun. All salsa sounds the same to me, and I more or less equally like it every time
Alexander 'Skip' Spence
1/5
Every time I see someone watching Death Note for the first time everyone tells them not to watch the second half and they never listen and then regret it. I kind of did the same with this album. I was warned by his nickname, I ignored the warning, I regret it
Muddy Waters
2/5
Not a single unpleasant moment it despite my blues intolerance. Not bad, but still wouldn't listen to it again voluntarily
Amy Winehouse
2/5
This album is the worst parts about dating a woman (her whining, cheating, singing) without getting to fuck her
10cc
2/5
I listened to it once and have absolutely nothing to say. I don't really want to listen to it again, but as a compromise I will, but on 2x speed
Nah, still nothing. There's another way. I will slow it down instead. 0.1x speed
Wow, you should hear the 0:48 part, the vocals potential is fully realised there
I'm retarded and now my head hurts
My Bloody Valentine
3/5
I don't know how to explain it, but this album did not really work for me. They're using this harsh sound to make really soft music, it dissonates in my head, I kind of like what I hear, but I'd like it to be something else entirely. A lot more brutal
Morrissey
3/5
It was pretty good. No bucket voice this time, while the instrumentals are as good as they were. Nice overall vibe
Klaxons
4/5
Very good. It's dancy, it's noisy, it's fun
Rahul Dev Burman
2/5
Eh, I dunno. I've never had curry in my life
The Good, The Bad & The Queen
3/5
I'm split on this one. It has good songs, but there's always something that's stopping me from fully enjoying them
Lorde
4/5
That's the kind of pop I can listen to forever, just mindless soft-voiced could very well be tok audios poop. Lemme check, if the girl's attractive I'll rate it 4
Well, she has a few good photos
U2
2/5
The level of not caring is immeasurable
Sugar
3/5
Remember that time when everyone asked for one more mid mid-90s rock album? No? Huh
Must have been the wind
DJ Shadow
2/5
Didn't like. I wonder what happens if you're actually familiar with the source songs. Most likely nothing special but who knows
could i write rap to this? y
Pet Shop Boys
2/5
"I love you, you pay my rent" is a funny lyric, even though I don't think it means what I first thought it means
I once again thought it was The Beach Boys. Not bad really, just kinda boring
Meat Puppets
2/5
Very short, very okay to listen to once and then never remember it again
Black Flag
2/5
It was fine at first but man does it get exhausting the more you listen to it
The Beach Boys
2/5
I want to get real madge about it, but I just can't. They're simply making music that I don't like
Minutemen
1/5
Ah yes, Corona! Don't touch me
I'm pretty sure they were just messing around without realising they were being recorded. Bet they're embarrassed. They should be
Stereolab
2/5
Weird, Animal Collective-like repetitive style. Not feeling it today
Rocket From The Crypt
3/5
Starts with regular punk slop, but further into the album they get much better. Especially with the last song, it is really good. I dig these whiny vocals
The Young Rascals
2/5
It doesn't sound like Beatles to me. If anything, I'd say it's inspired by reggae, although it sounds nothing like it. Much loud and annoying, but fine really
Bill Evans Trio
1/5
I believe this is what it would have sounded like if when I tried to play instruments for the first time in my life I was given a random jazz song and asked to replicate it
Incubus
3/5
This album is not based. It is the base for many albums that I like (or maybe it's not, history is not my strong suit. I don't believe the past has ever happened), and that is the reason I don't really like it much - I've already heard it done better by other bands. Still, the base is there and it's enjoyable
Wilco
2/5
What I find most disappointing about this album is that apparently they can play interesting music, they just chose not to
M.I.A.
4/5
What can be better than hearing some crazy tunes while looking at some beautiful British script on the cover?
Taylor Swift
3/5
Didn't really grab me but was fine. But how much more fun I have listening to "Ba- na- na" over something like this is immeasurable. After this many breakups she should've gotten used to them already, find something else to sing about gudamnit
Neneh Cherry
2/5
Doubly sucks! It's not just early hip-hop, it's early female hip-hop. Neh, neh. Big neh
Even when I was a toddler having listened to like 2 rappers in my life I already could tell the bar for "female rap" was insanely low, as if the mere fact that a woman is doing something other than giving birth and painting nails is somehow impressive
Blur
3/5
Quite a solid album that doesn't have a single song that I would listen to on its own. Ofc Song 2 is a banger and no amount of commercials can change that, but I want to point out Strange News from Another Star, it's cool in a different sense
Stevie Wonder
2/5
Really slow and repetitive
The Pharcyde
2/5
Not bad for early hip-hop. Didn't read the lyrics except for Ya Mama just to evaluate how much the ya mama jokes have evolved. Not much. The glass titty line was funny in a dumb way, I liked it
Grateful Dead
2/5
Nothing special, just some okayish soft country. It's really listenable, wish I could rate it 50 stars
The Pogues
3/5
Summon Bear With Lute at Skyrim Nexus - Mods and Community
It was fun ye, I'm not a drinker myself, but can imagine it being even more fun at a pub with friends. Or soon-to-be friends, that are picking up a fight with you at the moment. This is what this music is for, right?
The Fall
3/5
I forgot that feeling when you couldn't tell what you're going to listen to just from taking a glance at the wiki page. This album went even fuhrer, I can't tell what I'm listening to even while I'm listening to it
Boring vocals. Actually, I can't even call this vocals, half the songs he's just talking over music. Sometimes good music, sometimes not
I'm Going to Spain deserves a special fuck you
Circle Jerks
2/5
Started off as if it was the middle of a song. Don't know if it was intentional, maybe it was to make the album feel even shorter
Anyway, this is the ideal length for a music style that I don't really care for, so thumbs up happy face
The Cramps
1/5
They took rockabilly, a genre that I already didn't think highly of, and shittified it even more! Impressive!
Sufjan Stevens
4/5
Much pretentious, but eh, sometimes I like it. This is one of those times
Ute Lemper
3/5
Chanson sounds very nostalgic to me, even if I'm not crazy about it I still like it. A lot like Tank Battles
The whorehouse song was beautiful, absolute cinema in music form
Lmao I like how it's so obvious when the Scott Walker's song starts that it was written by him
I just can't believe all of those fuckers who usually make the most mediocre music can actually make something good. They should've stuck to ghostwriting
Buck Owens
2/5
Hwatever
2/5
Nah, this is really bland. Certainly their weakest
2/5
I try not to listen to country music. When I do, I usually have an uncontrollable desire to drink a lot of beer and do illegal things to farm animals.
I see a pattern, country used to be music for people in unhappy relationships. Now it's every genre
Suede
2/5
Didn't hold my attention at all
Mariah Carey
2/5
Ooohhhhh-ooooohh eeeeeeee, AAAHHHHHHHH
Woooo I- ahhhh
Yeah yeaaaaahh ooh
ToooooOoOOooOo maany~ vo- aah- ahh- oweeeels
Mmmhmmmmm

Waylon Jennings

IMPRESS! !then go slow.. brain Zzz. first song be bests! :D rest? no bad some time . HUGE HONKA TONKA T-POSE
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
2/5
[Music]
James Taylor
2/5
Sweet Baby Inc detected. Soft, inoffensive, can't imagine anyone choosing this over anything else
Neil Young
2/5
Guitar licenses should be revoked after a certain age
Steely Dan
2/5
I hate to say it again, but the first song was great, and the rest was not so great
Mekons
2/5
I have bravely endured about 4 country albums in the last few days. This is the final boss, punk-country. Honestly, one more country album and my fursuit's claws shall know blood
Miles Davis
1/5
Man this is unlistenable. 90 minutes of the same instruments played randomly
Hüsker Dü
3/5
Not bad. The beta males song was ahead of its time
SZA
3/5
Kendrick's feature was great, the rest was fine. Listenable
Randy Newman
3/5
Oh, so this is where You Can Leave Your Hat On comes from, interesting. I liked the vibe. Listenable
The Smashing Pumpkins
3/5
We will never know what came first, The Smashing Pumpkins or Nirvana, and I can't even tell which I like more. It was good, I liked the sound. Maybe a bit too long
James Brown
2/5
You can tell the crowd loved it. High energy performance, he did great, but the music sucks
Michael Jackson
4/5
Last time I made a hehe haha joke, this time I'm bloody serious, it's a superb album
Basement Jaxx
3/5
I really liked the hyperpop ahh songs, then the album chills out a bit and becomes both dated and boring. Bass in Don't Give Up was good too
Three out of five 4 the first third
The National
2/5
At first I thought it was fine, but the more I listen to it the less happy I get
Bob Dylan
1/5
30th album. It's Naruto level perseverance. He never gives up. He gets up every time, hands shaking violently (because old) as he reaches for his shuriken pouch and pulls out a harmonica to play the same song once again
I hope he became the Hokage of gay Paris in the end
The Clash
2/5
Heard worse
The Icarus Line
3/5
I enjoyed it but it's nothing crazy. Reminded me of something popular, can't remember what
Rush
2/5
Okay guitar wankery. Only liked The Twilight Zone
Bruce Springsteen
2/5
Better than I expected, which equals to okay. Paradise is incredible
The Avalanches
2/5
I guess the only meaningful measure of quality of dance music is whether you want to dance to it or not. I didn't, not even with my feet
Pink Floyd
4/5
Immaculate first half, great overall atmosphere
Aretha Franklin
3/5
It's pretty nice for ancient music
Simple Minds
2/5
Boring 80's synth pop, getting a bit tired of these echoey vocals
Maxwell
3/5
Discount MJ vibes. Real smooth real mid
Snoop Dogg
4/5
Awesome balls. W balls even
The skits were retarded, I laughed at most of them. The music? What can I say, some people were just made for rapping. Snoop Dogg is one of the goats
Elis Regina
3/5
Perfectly fine. Would be even better if I knew Latin language
CHVRCHES
3/5
Holy mid
Wu-Tang Clan
2/5
On one hand I liked a couple of songs, on the other - the long ass skits were annoying and the rapping felt too old
I'll rate it lower for no reason
Nick Drake
2/5
Very slow and boring, not my thing at all
Dwight Yoakam
2/5
The top review makes it sound much more interesting than it is
Public Image Ltd.
2/5
This is what angry brits sound like
Tbh they were onto something with this one, could see myself enjoying it if it wasn't for the vocals
The Residents
4/5
Heard before counter: 4/5
Interesting experimental art shit. Brings me back in time, listening to The Residents, playing Patapon, eating eyeball gummies. I first found it in a music iceberg picture well before it became a youtube thing. I expected the lower layers to be Depressive/Suicidal/Sadistic/Surprise/Service Black Metal, and it was mostly that, but among it was this gem
The Psychedelic Furs
2/5
Absolutely fine faceless new wave. The fact that it sounds fine to my ears probably says that it is not good punk
System Of A Down
5/5
Heard it a million times before, not even gonna pretend to be objective, SOAD might be the only band that I like every song of
Weird choice of an album tho, this album is great, but Mezmerize is just greater
5/5. Both the rating and a heard before counter
Rod Stewart
1/5
I used to love her but it's all over now (x36)
Ah the lovely smell of naphthalene and stale air
Air
4/5
Very pleasant, relaxing atmosphere. Good
808 State
3/5
Wow, Trump overperformed
Not bad. Maybe a bit bad towards the end but even the worst songs were at least passable
Sarah Vaughan
1/5
I tried to care but I just can't
GZA
3/5
Was good. Weird audio messages between songs, but they don't *really* ruin the vibe as the songs themselves are solid
The xx
3/5
It's very much unlike the other xx album. And very much like any other album. Okay really, but truly faceless
New Order
2/5
Synth pop with some punk mixed in. Onion jam-like recipe. Makes sense it exists, some even like it. Not me
Drive Like Jehu
3/5
Somewhere at the intersection of banal and innovative. Innovanal
B.B. King
1/5
I have the blues, nobody loves me. Makes sense
Björk
2/5
Suddenly I understand all of the critique towards Björk. It's a bit weird that they were saying all of that under her other works, but oh well
Extremely unrefined. And I disliked the instrumentals choice, Björk's vocals just don't match them. They have different moods, I think
The Notorious B.I.G.
2/5
Never heard any of the songs before, but at the same time I've heard a great portion of it sampled/quoted
Not for me. The best parts were Fuck Me (Interlude) (Hilarious) and the chorus in Respect
Deep Purple
2/5
Deep Purple:
Zzzzzzzz
Deep Purple, Japan:
Yooooooo
or something Idk half of it is literally the same songs as their other album from the list
The Prodigy
2/5
Boop beep boob peep music. Absolutely fine in background
Foo Fighters
3/5
Good in parts. Could be better if Kurt sang it
Holger Czukay
2/5
A mess
Def Leppard
3/5
Pretty fine... I think they call it dad rock. I'm a lot older and less drunk than the TA but still enjoyed it a quite a bit
Faith No More
3/5
Very diverse. The funk song was absolutely vile, some songs had cool instrumentals. Good on average
The Flaming Lips
3/5
Soft and nice. Somehow you just can tell it's american music. I wonder what gives it away
Teenage Fanclub
2/5
Beatlesesque alt-rock. Minging. The noisiness makes it even more repulsive
The Kinks
1/5
I will I was dead
Aimee Mann
2/5
1001 albums to take with you into the sensory deprivation tank
John Cale
2/5
Meh. It would be more entertaining to occupy your head with a headcrab than this album
The Stone Roses
2/5
At last some Dutch music!
Ah, first song was really good, the rest sounds like the same so-so song
Arcade Fire
2/5
The days when the meta was to pretend that you were smarter than you actually were. That's the only way I can explain anyone rating it higher than "fine"
Led Zeppelin
2/5
Round four. I'd rather let a different round inside my head tbh. Even my irl friend that decided to do 1001 quit after he got his second Led Zeppelin album. It most likely wasn't the reason, but I'd still like to believe it was
Stairway to Heaven gets a pass tho
Jimi Hendrix
2/5
Much more bluesy and rock n rolly than I'd like
Joni Mitchell
3/5
Cba to read the lyrics
I kind of liked it, although logically I shouldn't. She's story telling and I don't even understand it, but it sounds nice
Bill Callahan
3/5
Undeniably monotonous, but not in annoying way. It's kind of nice. I liked it when he tried to sing once or twice
Grateful Dead
1/5
Maaan, too much wankery
Elliott Smith
3/5
Sadboiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
Sounds fine, but I'm not in the blue period atm
Dolly Parton
2/5
And people say that AI does not create anything new, only remakes what people have already made. Well, I haven't heard those people complaining about Dolly Parton. Fucking hypocrites
A Tribe Called Quest
1/5
I just can't stand these rhymes, good bars could justify shitty rhyming for me, but there were none. This period of hip-hop is not interesting in any way, not lyrically, not musically. Just bad
Eurythmics
3/5
Not annoying synth pop. Sweet songs
Charles Manson's version is obviously better
Radiohead
5/5
Brilliant. Astonishing. I really cannot comprehend how you can sit around, jerk off your little guitars and then just go and create something like this. The vocals are fitting, the ambient tracks are fitting, everything works towards making this trippy atmosphere. Everything in its right place
I want to fuck this album
SAULT
3/5
Lmao your message has expired loooooool. Commercialising a race might not be cringe in itself, but when the only thing you can say for it is "black is good", it's kind of cringe. At least Sonic can run fast
Soulless soul, listenable slop
Heaven 17
1/5
Once you get through the initial "wtf is this shit" you can actually hear that it is in fact shit
The Cardigans
3/5
Pretty good, even outside the hits. I like her soft voice
Pantera
3/5
Washing machine-inspired sound. A bit dated but still good enough
Meat Loaf
2/5
Too corny, even for me. And I have some serious tolerance to stuff like this
Bon Jovi
3/5
The hits hit, the non-hits were lame
The Specials
1/5
Reggae punk, was a tough listen. It gets better towards the end, but not much
Daft Punk
3/5
Not my cup of drugs, I prefer their last album better. But I have nothing bad to say about it, it's alright
Charles Mingus
2/5
I wish I could use the word "minging" again, I learned it not long ago and really like it. But alas, this album is fine. Like a movie score or something. Not my taste for sure
Fishbone
2/5
While some of these songs are a mix of reggae and rock, most of them are either one or the other. Idk, I'd much rather listen to a full reggae record from them, the reggae songs were good
Sonic Youth
4/5
Obligatory "man, I love their music but their singing is so unfortunate" comment ✓
Sounds very similar to Daydream Nation. I like it, but it feels kind of weird that they are repeating themselves. Nonetheless, the guitar noodling is really good
Neu!
2/5
The first half was "staring into a wall" type of music. The second... let's just say I hope they made it out of the mental institution with this one
Elvis Costello & The Attractions
3/5
Easily in my top-800 albums I've listened to. Not even kidding, it's the best Elvis Costello album so far. Looking forward to hearing him again in 100 days
Dexys Midnight Runners
1/5
It's not their fault they're British
k.d. lang
2/5
Let's play two truths and a lie. This album is:
-Gay
-Innovative
-Boring
Marvin Gaye
2/5
I met a little girl 🎷😭
It's crazy how easy it is for women to get inside men's heads
David Holmes
2/5
Never-ending monotonous beats
Method Man
3/5
Very samey but listenable
Rufus Wainwright
2/5
At first I was like "oooh the first song is goooood", then I listened to the rest, was like "meh, better listen to the goooood song again". I play it now and it's no longer goooood
Ballads sucked balls and non-ballads were ok
Traffic
3/5
Not bad actuallym, expected much worse. Liked Cryin' to be Heard
Aretha Franklin
2/5
Lots of screaming, the songs were boring
Nirvana
3/5
>I don't have a gun
Erm...
Good warm atmosphere. Not the usual Nirvana, but still kind of the same. I both like and dislike it
Nick Drake
2/5
I got baited multiple times seeing this cover in other's pages thinking it was Akuma no Uta
It was alright. Soft, slow, easy to listen, yet not very memorable
Koffi Olomide
2/5
Tiring. The songs are long and sound more or less the same
Elvis Presley
2/5
Eh. I was fine with it for like 3-4 songs. Maybe microdosing is the way to go with Elvis
2Pac
2/5
>Don't shed a tear for me, nigga, I ain't happy here
ayayay
Another album where you know what the lyrics are without having to listen to them. I'm sorry that happened tho
Deee-Lite
3/5
Not half bad. Half good, actually
Johnny Cash
2/5
I like it better than the other prison album, but the music is still just alright, the interactions seemed more fun
Sinead O'Connor
2/5
Reminded me of Björk a little
Really bland and slow
Morrissey
2/5
Morrissey fatigue is real
I liked it more than some of his Smiths albums, but it's still the same moody crap
Morrissey
2/5
-Okay, now let's add some Morrissey albums, say when
-...
Lyrics are extra retarded on this one. He literally dissed a fucking planet, I can't take this seriously
G. Love & Special Sauce
2/5
Some of it is awful and some of it is pretty listenable. More awful
Scritti Politti
2/5
The only reason this is on the list is because the singer sounds similar to Michael Jackson
The Beach Boys
2/5
I had to resist the urge to just turn it off and rate it a 1 when I heard the first song
The calmer parts of Long Promised Road sound decent to be fair. Yeah, good song
I had to resist the urge to just turn it off and rate it a 1 when I heard the third song
Fourth song was good again, 'Til I Die was also fine
I get it now, they added some shitty songs so that their regular ones sound better than they usually are
Oh, and the dude decided to die on the day everyone got his album. Fucking attention-seeker
Penguin Cafe Orchestra
4/5
Terrific opener. Ahhh, this is the good stuff. I didn't like every song, but still found the ones I didn't like much interesting
The Sabres Of Paradise
1/5
My spaceship, my music. Don't like it? Get out and float
It starts to resemble music closer to the end but I'd probably get ejected before it
Nothing special, just consistently good radio music
Arctic Monkeys
3/5
I like their second album more, more variety there. This album is mostly in the same tone. Still enjoyable
Ray Price

It belongs in a Mojave Desert
Elastica

I don't know how I feel about the vomit sounds in the first song (I do, I'm just being polite)
Cornershop

Could be used as a drug test

>If anyone asks what the 80s sound like, I'd give them this album. Have had a lot of albums from the 80s and everytime I just expected it to be as good as this one, but they never really make it.
Well, I see a contradiction here. If all the other 80s albums were not as good... maybe 80s weren't good at all and you only remember the highest point of it? Just like this album, people likely only remember Take On Me and think this album was better than it is
Not sayin it's bad tho
The Byrds
2/5
Wow, it was the first album ever not to include any songs written by Bob Dylan. That alone deserves a higher than usual rating
Johnny Cash
3/5
Okeh. Some good covers, I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry was relatable 😥
Lenny Kravitz
2/5
Technically, this is music
Arrested Development
3/5
Was fun despite the political cringe
The Charlatans

First half was nice than I got tired of it
Just like life
Aerosmith

Classic, boneless rock-and-roll. Decent

Le Nigre :---DD

When I was in first grade my mom used to wake me up by playing Crazy Frog on her phone. Little did she know I would get up much faster if she would play something like this
The Who
2/5
Nyeh,
Elvis Costello
2/5
This is too british. Red shoes, swastika tattoo, eye-gouge worthy cover. Just british things, I find them really annoying. Couldn't care about the music
Pentangle
3/5
Lovely traditional songs, liked them a lot. Other songs were good too, just not as good
The Gun Club
1/5
My expectations were low, they met them just fine
Frank Ocean
3/5
Typical modern R'n'B. It was good
XTC
2/5
I liked Supergirl and the instrumentals in Mermaid Smiled. A lot of different styles and most didn't really hook me
Nanci Griffith
2/5
Music for nobody
Led Zeppelin
2/5
Final round. Fight
Almost grabbed me, but I did a throw escape. None of the hits reached me. Then I hear it start to speed up then I start speeding
away.
from the album
Pearl Jam
3/5
It was good. Accessible for the wider audience (I mean Americans) which means a bit boring for the hard-bitten music aesthetes (I mean myself)
Metallica
4/5
It was really good. I liked the faster parts a lot
The Dictators
2/5
I can't believe that punk was actually the american invention, I thought it was the brits again. I will burn down my mexican flag now and will never speak favourably of the USA ever again
Love
3/5
Worst opening song award goes to
Seriously bad vocals in the first song, but even it had good instruments
Slade
2/5
Repulsive 💅🏻💅🏻💅🏻
The Jam
2/5
Not my jam, but it was fine. Listenable. But if this is all mods can you imagine how boring vanilla is
Beastie Boys
3/5
>Never cower, never shower, and I'm always stinkin'
>The girlies I like are underage
He just like me fr
Insanely dumb and I liked it. Surprised to not see anyone chimping out over it the same way as with Kid Rock
fav: Brass Monkey
Coldcut
2/5
My Telephone is such a weird song. What were they even doing with their phones back then, there was no chatgpt on them
The Who
2/5
asked
Thought it was a bit better than Who's Next at first, the ending songs almost made me do the irreversible
Tom Tom Club
3/5
Ahh, hard to decide. It's okay but also shit
Better than Coldcut I guess
Joan Baez
2/5
I like folk
Is this country?
Exotic
Her voice is too high pitched
Nina Simone
2/5
Not my thing at all. Thought it was a dude until he said "My hips invite you"
Buddy Holly & The Crickets
2/5
I'm sure it's been relevant at some point in history
Prefab Sprout
3/5
Damn, his horse lost a G3 race and he got so emotional he wrote a song about it...
It was fine. Soft and all, but the only song I really liked was Appetite
The Kinks
1/5
Brain fryer
Dr. Dre
3/5
Some of it is good, some of it is Dre, all of it is too long
Talking Heads
2/5
The entire album is monkey business except for The Overload, which is absolutely gorgeous. Drone out of nowhere, as if I got sent to Ukraine
Suzanne Vega
3/5
Cute voice. Good soft music. The last song was unnecessary
Lauryn Hill
2/5
Not bad but tiresome. I liked rapping more than singing. And why is it so long again ffs
Frank Black
2/5
What you get if you take the most braindead hardcore music and then distill all the hardcore from it? First two songs
The rest is unremarkable
3/5
My mood was great today. It became okay
Nitty Gritty Dirt Band
2/5
Cowgirls is the only thing I find appealing in cowboy life
More or less the same song on repeat for two hors, interrupted by some old farts talking about nothing
ZZ Top
2/5
ᛋᛋtop
Girls Against Boys
4/5
I don't know, man. I thought that I liked weird music because I used to listen to it a lot just for attention so I kind of learned to like it. But here I am, listening to Bealtes wannabes, blues and all the british punk bands that have ever existed, for more than two years now and my organism still rejects it. How do we come to love the things we love? Why do I feel this "ahh this sounds so much better than that shit from the other day"? Why do people compare this to Sonic Youth and I can't hear even the slightest resemblance? I might already be demented and not even realise this
Miles Davis
2/5
Wait, sample packs also count as albums?
David Ackles
2/5
He's just storytelling. Without punchlines, metaphors or anything that would make it worth listening to. Like reading a plot summary
David Gray
2/5
Wait, do I have to learn English to enjoy music now?
Syd Barrett
2/5
Mad cap fr
Had its moments but nothing crazy, bad parts were bad
The Last Shadow Puppets
3/5
It's nice. Pleasant to listen to but not particularly interesting
Portishead
4/5
Cool. Really liked the atmosphere, a bit magical
The Kinks
2/5
Still stinks but not as much as their other albums. Wasn't hard to finish
Marty Robbins
3/5
Big iron on his hip~
It belongs in a Mojave Desert. But not in a bad way this time
4/5
Lol, people round here just hate fun
While I believe Rollin' deserves a whole remix album let's be real, this album was already so long. Bad tactic
More like 3.5 because of the length, but it was fun so
The Black Crowes
2/5
Something gun'sn roses like. Didn't like. Didn't hate either, but had to combat drowsiness
The Everly Brothers
2/5
Girls were made to be loved?????? Yo that's problematic
The absolute state of the West. It's literally the best song on the album ?>.<?
Fleet Foxes
3/5
First few songs sound a bit like Animal Collective, then it becomes a more typical indie-something, which I liked less
Christina Aguilera
2/5
I think all those high notes gave me a headache
TV On The Radio
3/5
Oh my Science, the band name is so on point!
David Bowie
2/5
Wait, this was AFTER Aladdin Sane? What the actual fuck
The Louvin Brothers
1/5
Terribly monotonous sad bad
The Fall
2/5
Instrumentals sound really bad, like those cheap chinese toys that play simple tunes, and that's the part I actually liked, there's a certain charm to it. What I didn't like was the vocalist, he didn't even try to sing
Living Colour
3/5
Starts off good then becomes something else entirely
Ryan Adams
2/5
I'm abusing my unemployment for this???
Orbital
2/5
Damn, all the beep-boops and glu-glus were really impressive. If you were to send this album back in time all the music would suddenly disappear
The Chemical Brothers
2/5
It was better than Snivilisation, but I still didn't like it. Chemicals fans will go crazy about this one
Spacemen 3
4/5
Mmm, that was good. Perhaps the only bad thing I can say about it is that I've heard it done better, but it sounds a bit unfair...
The B-52's
3/5
Music for people who think family guy is hilarious
>Shortly before his death, John Lennon said that he enjoyed the album
This sentence was funnier than any Family Guy episode I've seen, but the music was alright tbh
Quicksilver Messenger Service
2/5
2 jamming sessions, 0 fucks given
Peter Gabriel
2/5
I've gotten quite used to every song sounding the same on an album, but this is new, almost every song is completely different from the other
And it's bad!! I liked Intruder, would've liked a bit more of that. The rest is not that memorable
Throwing Muses
3/5
Pregrunge sound, occasional baba yaga vocals. I kinda liked it
The Temptations
2/5
How did they manage to be meh while having 3 Jimi Hendrixes
R.E.M.
2/5
Ah yes, recognised the Losing My Religion singer. It's interesting how I didn't recognise him when we had R.E.M. the last time
It was fine, not that interesting but listenable
George Michael
2/5
I will absolutely listen with prejudice because I obviously know who George Michael is and care very much
He's not beating the allegations with this one
Emmylou Harris
1/5
So boring it made me cry
Steely Dan
2/5
It's fine, but given the current time I'd prefer more silk in my songs
Leftfield
2/5
There was one song I went "hell yeah" for. I think it was Inspection
The Who

Britain thought there was a Brainrot Victory
Yeah Yeah Yeahs
3/5
Keywords: Karen
LOL TRUE
It was good actually. The first 3? songs were really nice, Maps is great
Adele
3/5
Involuntarily heard some of these songs a thousand times. It's good. Didn't even bore me, how it often happens with these AAA pop albums
Tricky
2/5
Oh yeah I know ecstasy, I smoke it all the time
Joy Division
2/5
Not bad tbh.
Nvm, relistened, most of it is bad, it's the last three songs that were decent
Britney Spears
4/5
What I find interesting about Britney Spears is that she sticks her tongue out when pronouncing "L". The only other person I noticed doing this was ll
Anyway, the album was good. Finally a proper pop album and not another voice range tech demo
I particularly liked how "thinkinabout you" line is rushed, sounds funny, a bit grimey even
Earth, Wind & Fire
3/5
I don't know, maybe I got supercharged by listening to good music right before this, but it was really nice
R.E.M.
3/5
Wait, do I get it right that the album with the only track by this band that I know is not even on the list?
It was consistently solid, although I admit there's nothing on the I Remember California level
The White Stripes
2/5
It was okayish. I Think I Smell A Rat was funny for personal reasons, nothing else was notable
1/5
Oh my God, Bob Dylan? Immediate five stars!!!!! Let the Mavericks chase him!!!
King Crimson
2/5
Way more abstract than I'd like
The 13th Floor Elevators
2/5
Wow, such a cool idea to use a pidgeon as an instrument
Stephen Stills
2/5
Second top review made me hate women again. Doesn't mean I disagree though
Wire
2/5
Buncha kids making noises
David Bowie
2/5
Lackluster, carried by the name behind it
Jeru The Damaja
2/5
A while ago I started saying "damage" instead of "cringe". This won't stop me
Raekwon
2/5
It wasn't bad, but I just didn't vibe with it. You know what I mean, like, when Method starts rapping my head goes like ⬆️⬆️⬇️⬇️⬅️➡️⬅️➡️🅱️🅰️ and when this dude raps it's like 🔽🔽🔽 like micronodding appreciating the beat
The Verve
3/5
It was good. Really liked the last song
Queens of the Stone Age
3/5
Nice sound but I can't help but feel like something is missing. Whatever it is I wanted, the earrape in the end certainly wasn't it
Kings of Leon
2/5
It's fiiine, but they're not my little pogchamps. More like average grey faces
Miriam Makeba
2/5
Miriam Makeba
Brian Eno
4/5
I guess I'm an airport, I really enjoyed it. Chill, meditative. I think it feels a bit too empty after the first song though
Simply Red
2/5
Something makes me think they recorded this just because they wanted some money
Nightmares On Wax
2/5
Samsung notification sound, lalla dog, In a Hood Near You, and many more audio pareidolia examples!
The Divine Comedy
2/5
Pick your favourite vomit onomatopoeia, it's so cheesy you're gonna throw up
Manu Chao
5/5
Man, this is the vibe. It's really easy to make me sad, but this man managed to make me happy and he didn't even need lyrics for that
Favourite track: Despacito
D'Angelo
3/5
I've heard Sh*t, Damn, Moth*rfucker before and I really can't remember where
It was alright but I still reckon Bla Bla Bla is his best song. The second half was more boring, almost brought it down to a 2
Kanye West
4/5
Good job, Kanye. I will never forget your black balls
Mercury Rev
2/5
Even more pointless than this sentence
Mudhoney
2/5
I did it again. Last review was about this album
Deserter's Songs was impressive in places, a 3 maybe even a 4, good thing is I don't have to choose now
Tori Amos
2/5
The best and the worst I can say about it is I didn't mind it playing
The Lemonheads
2/5
Damn they felt rebellious, they even said "tit" once
Soft punk for Christians
Machito

I can safely say that I don't understand this music
Megadeth

Nice
Funkadelic
1/5
Somewhere in the middle of it I had to go do something so I paused it. When I came back I was like "at least that shit ended". Then I remembered it didn't. Unpausing it was like when you get used to the smell of a decomposing corpse in your house, then you get out to buy something, and when you get back home the stench is unbearable again even though you've spent the last two weeks breathing it
Bonus songs were really good but they're not from the main album so I won't factor them in
The Stooges
1/5
Did my headphones break or something? Wtf is this
Their music sounds like they don't give a shit but I bet if their house caught on fire they'd stop playing and go put it out
Can
2/5
No way this came out 73 years ago
I find it really funny how they thought future music was going to sound something like that, but the band that *actually* predicted the future of the music was the stooges. And something makes me think they didn't mean do to that
Sometimes I fw things like this, sometimes don't. This time don't
Pink Floyd
1/5
Oh G-word. Before playing this I saw a comment saying it was their best album and I was like "OwO better than dark side of the moon?????". But of course the "best album" meant they straight up copied the worst of The Beatles
IT"S SO ASS
David Crosby
3/5
It's next to the title, retard
The music was okay. Not too shabby for a retard!
Sisters Of Mercy
2/5
Boris did Flood II better in Flood
Reminds me of something, not really bad, just not my thing
Taylor Swift
4/5
Wait Tay Tay used to be so good. I will use her cute nickname from now on, I didn't think she deserved it before
The Disposable Heroes Of Hiphoprisy
1/5
Aren't rappers supposed to rap?
'American' is my least favourite genre
Peter Gabriel
2/5
As far as I know Boris didn't do Here Comes The Flood in Flood but I bet they would've done it better
It was fine. A bit glam-rocky and I'm not really into that
Os Mutantes
3/5
Surprisingly good. Can't call myself a fan of African music, but even for me this was an enjoyable listen
Ian Dury
2/5
First song made me think it's not going to be as bad as I thought
And it wasn't, but it wasn't good either
Oh fuck nevermind it gets worse with every song
Not 1 because I'm immune to rage bait

Green Day
2/5
Pop punk is just a genius idea. Someone sat down and thought "what if we take punk and make it more listenable?" and now we get to enjoy Longview and We are Fighting Dreamers
The rest was pretty bland
Ella Fitzgerald
1/5
The Wall
Extra large blind
Ah, so this is the 1001 albums they were talking about! Didn't think I would have to listen to them all at once, but here we are
Whenever I tried to focus on what's playing I got so immensely bored I couldn't continue listening. In the end I just had it playing in the background while I played Against the Storm. I'm really sorry for all the people in 1959, as they didn't have this option
The Birthday Party
2/5
When I pressed "play" and heard the music I knew exactly how they would ruin it. Weird skill, but now I have it
You know hwat, I actually like it. The singer went full retard in the second song and now I don't mind him
Nah nvm too shitty still
The Triffids
3/5
I'm so helplessly confused. There is a ton of worse albums on this list that everyone seemed to gobble up without any complaints, but THIS is where y'all draw the line?
Ahhh! They're not British! I see, I see, 1/10
Democracy was a mistake
Bebel Gilberto
3/5
Oh I love Polish
Ice Cube
2/5
Lyrical genius
Anthrax
4/5
Could be 5/5 but yesterday I listened to it really loud in my headphones, and today my girlfriend brought another man in my house saying she asked me about open relationships yesterday and I nodded excitedly
Carpenters
2/5
This is exactly what I would imagine music made by carpenters to sound like
Q-Tip
2/5
At first I thought it sounded kinda modern for an old piece of rap, but then I saw the release year and realised it was the other way around
Not a fan either way
Shivkumar Sharma
2/5
Very creative usage of metal kettles
Lupe Fiasco
2/5
It was alright, but I prefer more punchlines. Maybe they were there, I couldn't tell
The Incredible String Band
2/5
I'm once again perplexed as to why everyone decided to dogpile on this one. It's a completely normal uninteresting album. Mediocre album like hundreds others on this list
Todd Rundgren
2/5
This would deserve some of the String Band hate, if not for the Zen Archer
Kings of Leon
4/5
Closer is a really good opener
Good radio music, I enjoyed it. Not great because faceless, one of the albums I'd go 3.5 if I could
Aphex Twin
2/5
Ugly Boy is easily the best song from this album
If there's no YTPMV of Ptolemy x Gabe the Dog, I'm gonna be a sad dog for the rest of this sentence Σ:<
Honestly, if there were no percussion, I might have liked it
Doves
3/5
Was nice
I don't know why, but this review used to contain my elaborate suicide method until I realised it had no business being there
Kelela

Some songs got cool melodies, but most of them are pretty average
Can

One shit song, the rest I liked
Such a bad band name though, I forgot I've listened to them before and it was just a month ago
Gang Starr
1/5
If someone could dunk from a 3-point line, would it count as a 3-pointer?.. Oh fuck, this album's americanized me brb gotta buy a napalm thrower for self-defense
This shit is so shit I'd bring it with me to school every day just in case there's a shooting so that I can throw it in the shooters bag to get the media to blame everything on it
Paul Revere & The Raiders
2/5
Can't decide on what I like more - this album or the new UI
Suicide
1/5
*Sigh*
Whoever sponsored their microphones must be beating themselves up over it
Should be removed from the list /s If somebody rolls this as their last album you know exactly what's gonna happen
Vile
Michael Jackson
3/5
I know a guy who listens to this album almost every day, and because of him the amount of hee-hee's I've heard in my life is way higher than I'd like it to be
