It's impressive that Bob Dylan is so successful in music with a voice this horrible

It would be really fun to listen to this stuff live. Unfortunately that wasn’t an option for me today

Yeah, this is bad

PYT is creepy as fuck

Long album, lots of potential here that I can't fully appreciate in just one day. I can tell every song is good, not sure yet which will click and be great. Time will tell but I'm not sure any are as good as Living For the City. Favorites: Pastime Paradise, Village Ghetto Land

I was happy when it was over

Already knew some of these songs and “Till Death Do Us Part” was a good new find. I probably won’t come back to this one but I enjoyed it for what it was

I really wanted to like this so I listened on repeat all day but I was never blown away. Oh well. I really enjoyed Chest Fever and wished more songs were like it. I mildly enjoyed Tears of Rage but not enough to add it to my Spotify liked songs

Fun! I'll be back

Was lovely in the background of Crash Bandicoot but upon further listening I just wished it was The Beatles Favorite song: It Happens Each Day

Didn't know until today that Leonard Cohen and Lou Reed are two different people. I find Lou Reed wildly boring and so when I got this rec I was expecting Velvent-Underground-boringness but I had the wrong guy! I was pleasantly surprised with this, but likely would've given it a 3 if my little mix up didn't put expectations on the floor. I really liked "Sing Another Song, Boys" and "Avalanche" was nice. I'll be back but only when I'm in looking to feel a very particular sad way

I couldn't stand this Only ok song: "Less Than Zero" but even that I probably won't touch again

It's not you, it's me One day I'll learn to appreciate jazz. not today though

immerse your soul in love

Favorite: River Euphrates

I was excited because I love Bowie but I found this boring

not excited

my first DNF

chillers

I enjoyed this. Patterns and For Emily, Wherever I May Find Her stuck and 7 O'clock News / Silent News was clever

Just like when listening to The Byrds, I just wished this was The Beatles. But The Byrds were better than The Sonics so this gets a 2

Alanis is a very high maintenance ex

I’m sure this is objectively great but unfortunately I was quite bored :( You’ve Got a Friend slaps though

Better than expected given what I thought country music is, but still not exciting for me

Background music for a grainy video of a 13 year old in Etnies doing 8 shuv it variations

I vibed hard to this

I felt like I was in a very long elevator

Was nice in the background but no songs stuck in any capacity. one song sticking feels like minimum for 3 stars

green to red

Not Bad

It would be really fun to listen to this stuff live. Unfortunately that wasn’t an option for me today

Music exceeded my expectations for country. And cool to learn about Gram Parsons. His life was wild

YES

bored

Blessed right at the beginning with a 13 minuter

Jesus Etc is a classic and Poor Places slaps. The rest is bland

Not my thing :(

Gimme Shelter is great. After that, I expected to be blown away and wasn't. I'll have to try again another time

I can see the appeal even though I'm not sure I'd go out of my way to listen to any besides Them Bones in the future

Enjoyed the first song! fell off after that

I feel exactly the way I did when I rated Songs in the Key of Life. Every song is good, not sure which will stick upon more listens, wish the album were a bit shorter

Solid

I wish I was anything but a rock

No individual song stood out but the whole experience was fun

I expected to give this album 2 stars since it's missing Pictures of Home, my favorite from Machine Head (3 stars). During Child in Time I was ready to give this 5 stars. 50+ minutes later I've settled down to 3

Pleasantly surprised, especially since it's punk

Enjoyable for a bit but was ready for the album to be done well before it finished

I really can't tell if this is good or really annoying

TC and Honeybear and Queen of Denmark both sounded great on listen #1 which is very rare

Sweet Child of Mine slaps, but on first listen I found everything else to be sooooo annoying. I made a playlist of the songs I found least annoying: It's So Easy, Mr. Brownstone, and You're Crazy. I'll be spending all day trying to appreciate them. End of day update: Mr. Brownstone is good, the other two I can stand

This was generated for me almost 2 weeks ago but I'm only just getting to it now because this one feels like a chore to get through

I expected a lot from this (told Maggie this would be a 5), then realized I enjoyed this much more as a kid than I do now

I don't get the hype

Feb 6: Maggie gets this album and we start to listen together. She turns it off almost immediately and leaves 1 star rating "It stressed me out." I say I'd have enjoyed it on my own. April 6: I get this album and it doesn't hit. I wait to be in a better mood and leave it unrated. May 16: Maggie shows me Sonic Youth's Thurston Moore's collaboration with Bernie Sanders. This makes me want to like Sonic Youth even more. +1 stars for this June 1: Accepting defeat. It stressed me out

ok ok ok ok

First listen was great and it got worse the more I listened

I had a good nap to this

I enjoyed their album Road to Rouen so I was excited for this...then let down

Actively disliked this one

update: still underwhelmed

I'm really enjoying this but worry I'll never listen again because it's off Spotify

I've come back to this album many times and found something new every time - this time it was "Had No One Ever" Long time favorite: I Know It's Over. It's so brutal

Pleasant

I already knew Flower from the Bring Sally Up/Down push up challenge. I'm happy the other songs weren't as annoying as that one, but dang what a long album (was I supposed to also listen to the B sides?)

Listened twice, nothing stuck

I already knew When Doves Cry (I prefer Patti Smith's cover) and Purple Rain. Darling Nikki is new and I enjoyed it. The rest didn't stand out

some good moments

I Am Waiting was pleasant but I really don't get the Rolling Stones hype

why so long

This album was generated for me weeks ago and I'd been holding off on rating it in hopes I'd enjoy it more when in the mood. It appears, sadly, I'm never in the mood

1 week, 2 rolling stones albums. bored as always

It started out shocking, then was entertaining, then became unbearable

I enjoyed this

This genre is really not for me

It's impressive that Bob Dylan is so successful in music with a voice this horrible

Interesting jazz

I have this CD in my car

Rachel and I agreed it "could be worse" as background music in the car but that's the only nice thing we had to say

3 Deep Purple albums, 3 3-star ratings. Child in Time slaps. The rest are forgettable

Starts out nice and proggy then gets gradually more boring as it goes on

I think this would be nice in the background on Christmas. Unfortunately today is not Christmas

This was really nice at first, 4/5 stars experience. Then I thought it got so repetitive I wanted to turn it off, 1/5 stars experience. I realized too late it's because the Youtube playlist I played the album on was repeating songs. But regardless the songs started to all sound the same. 3/5 final answer.

I already knew and liked a lot of these. Try Not to Breathe was a great new find

Pleasant but forgettable

Our villa got robbed and then we filed a report in broken Italian to the Carabinieri and then we listened to this album and I think that’s what this album was created for. +1 stars for good timing

I really tried with this one but I find it so wildly boring. Maybe I'd relate more if I were going through a period of feeling intense unrequited love, but I'm not.

Buono!

I miei preferiti: We Are the Pigs e The Asphalt World

ogni canzone suona come le altre canzoni

Day 1 thoughts: I begrudgingly gave Led Zeppelin IV 5 stars since everyone else did, Stairway rocks, and I knew every other song (even though I wouldn’t seek out the other songs). On this album, I only knew Immigrant Song going in and the others seem more promising than I expected. Proggier vibes, reminds me of ELP at times. I need to listen more times to determine my thoughts Many days later: really like Friends. Still need more work on this album but it's about time I rate it

I listened twice on the plane and then forgot everything about it

fav: The Secret Life of Arabia

Constantly alternating between pretty good and annoying, which is exhausting. I'd maybe enjoy this more if I heard one song at a time, instead of the whole album at once.

Not bad but nothing stood out over the songs I already knew (Tonight Tonight, Bullet with Butterfly Wings, 1979). Granted, songs that stand out usually do so on the second or later listens and I only listened once because this was two whole hours

Would be 4 if it were shorter

Didn't enjoy this one but it might just be that I was doomed to dislike anything playing as I'm prepping calculus lectures

It's Shameless June! This album reminds me of a time period during which I felt more shame. Good thing we're not there. Also, I know people shit on Muse but I'm going to rate this highly because it's Shameless June.

I've been surprisingly bored by Peter Gabriel's solo stuff. A bummer because I had high expectation since I love Genesis's Foxtrot

Hjartað Hamast (bamm bamm bamm) sounds exactly like you'd expect a song titled "Hjartað Hamast (bamm bamm bamm)" to sound like

This was nice. Look into this album more if Neil Young ever returns to Spotify. I think On The Beach was my favorite, but that might have just been the song that was on when I was paying the most attention

Respect slaps. I didn’t notice the other songs but was excited when the album looped around and Respect came on again

Listened twice. We all know Proud Mary but was anything else supposed to stand out?

I liked the opening. The rest was nice enough too, but less memorable. Then I went and listened to Paranoid and I think I liked that album better

not much to say here

I actually kind of enjoyed Original, but the other songs are so boring and there are too many of them

We Got the Beat was so much more annoying than I remembered, but Our Lips Are Sealed and This Town weren't bad and they prevent this from getting 2 stars

Even worse than Leftism (2 star electronica album from two days ago)

I didn't enjoy this at all but I'm not sure I'm the intended audience. I'll give benefit of the doubt and give 2 stars instead of 1. Maybe I missed some cool lyrics due to not knowing French

This wasn't bad but I expected more from a Davie Bowie album. I prefer his proggy side and this was a little too chill for me

Of course this album is horrible to listen to but I did laugh out loud when Birthday Boy came on

Much easier to listen to than Duck Stab/Buster & Glen, but also much more forgettable. results in the same rating Nevermind, last minute +1 more star because Through a Long & Sleepless Night is nice

Photograph was my favorite. while I don't have any real complaints, I listened twice and didn't leave with a desire to come back to any of these

In theory, the sampling is so cool. In practice, I struggled to listen to more than a few songs at a time

Another day another punk album :/

Maggie likes it more

Bill Wurtz is that you?

Not my genre at all but it's good to hear different things

Cruel of the generator to give me this immediately after The Jam

Been on an REM kick since I got Automatic for the People two months ago. Probably would’ve listened to this today even if it wasn’t generated

Years ago after listening to the Rivals podcast on Neil Young vs Lynyrd Skynyrd, I listened to Southern Man for the first time and thought it was so boring. This time it was so good

People who like long songs 🤝 people who like short songs

Take It Easy and Peaceful Easy Feeling are nice enough but the rest was more boring than expected

Someone on Reddit recommended these guys to me (and it got 160 upvotes): "Also based on those same bands plus liking Yes and Kansas, I bet you'd dig the Nine Inch Nails discography. Spans the gamut of musical styles of rock and was often placed side-by-side with Radiohead in 90s music articles discussing bands that could "flirt with mainstream success while being groundbreaking and unique". Still a relevant band today, since the two main members recently won an Oscar and a Grammy for their soundtrack work on movies like The Social Network and Pixar's Soul. Don't ignore the second release, Broken, just because it's an EP. Ditto the three most recent releases, the "EP trilogy". The discography spans from 1989-Present and has 11 albums/EPs you'd want to hit." After this album, I'm not sure he's right that I'd like them. But I'm down to give another try one day

Surprisingly my least favorite was the Pink Floyd cover

If this is the greatest hip hop album of all time then I have no hope of getting into this genre

Back to Life is a bop

Jokes and the rest of the album aside, the last 2:40 of A Very Cellular Song are absolutely beautiful

pleasant

I'd have a better chance at enjoying this if I listened to one song instead of 9. Got worse the longer it went

Better than expected given that it’s live, but 1 hour 46 minutes was more than I needed

I listened to the 5 songs I didn't know all day to see if this was a 4 star or 5 star. I think they were pleasant enough

Hmmm I love prog but this is bad prog

Did well for me and Maggie on our drive to Elmhurst

bored

Expectations were on the floor after "music for airports"

Fun

no thanks

I feel the Illinoise

Very nice but also very forgettable. Not sure how to rate that

annoying

a lot of hits

I tried multiple times. forgettable

not enough jig

Pleasant but got more boring as it went on

Yeah, this is bad

The The has some good stuff out there but this album is not it edit after listen #2: Heartland is actually kind of good

Something about this makes it particularly unlistenable for me

There's no album I'd rather play Wii golf to

PYT is creepy as fuck

Frank Zappa instrumentals >>>> the alternative

This is bad bad
