Your New Favourite Band

The Hives

1/5

I didn't feel anything while listening to this. It just sounds like generic rock music you would hear in a bar, blending into the background and quickly forgotten as people go about their day. Nobody will Shazam this, and no one will remember it once they get home. It will simply fade away, a relic of another time, with no one to recall it, forever overshadowed by bands that did the same thing but better. 1.5

Beautiful Freak

Eels

2/5

I'm not really feeling this one. It's not that it's bad, but the choice of melodies is kind of annoying and cheesy to me. 2.5

Back To Black

Amy Winehouse

3/5

All-around, it's a solid project. The songs are really well mixed, making it a good background listen. However, the sound feels a bit monotonous and generic, lacking something special. 3.5

Superfly

Curtis Mayfield

4/5

Wow, usually i'm not into soul/funk, but this album is really well made. 4.5

The Last Broadcast

Doves

2/5

Soulless radio music. I will forget about this in a few days. 2

3 Years, 5 Months And 2 Days In The Life Of...

Arrested Development

2/5

It's not bad but some parts are really annoying. 2

Getz/Gilberto

Stan Getz

3/5

I mean, it is relaxing and all, but maybe a bit too relaxing. Good background music. 3

The Sensual World

Kate Bush

3/5

This album has few flaws, but I wouldn’t revisit it. All the tracks sound similar, and her style gets annoying quickly. 3

Nevermind

Nirvana

4/5

Enjoyable, but it sounds like a collection of greatest hits rather than a complete, interconnected experience. 4

Let It Bleed

The Rolling Stones

3/5

I agree with the other users here. The first and last tracks are spectacular, but the middle part has mixed quality with highs and lows. I like that the album isn't excessively long. 3.5

The United States Of America

3/5

Interesting, reminds me of Velvet Underground & Nico. It was released in the 60s but it still sounds fresh. 3.5

Picture Book

Simply Red

3/5

A good listen but nothing groundbreaking. 3.5

The Velvet Underground

4/5

i really love this, it's polished and relaxing. Candy Says is an amazing intro. The only aspect that prevents it from achieving a 5 is that it can get repetitive at times. 4.5

Dummy

Portishead

3/5

The beats and singing are cool, but I don't think this album has aged well. In the era of DAW productions, I often hear tracks that sound similar to this. 3.5

Django Django

2/5

Chill summer vibes 2.5

Hearts And Bones

Paul Simon

Annoying singing, mid songs 2

The Downward Spiral

Nine Inch Nails

The Genius Of Ray Charles

Ray Charles

2/5

If you’re into jazz, you’ll probably like this album. Personally, I’m not a fan, so it just sounds boring and uninspired to me. 2

Bridge Over Troubled Water

Simon & Garfunkel

4/5

If you’re planning a barbecue and need the perfect soundtrack, Simon & Garfunkel’s Bridge Over Troubled Water is a fantastic choice 4

good kid, m.A.A.d city

Kendrick Lamar

4/5

This album is just hit after hit. Seriously, how does it have tracks like “Money Trees,” “Sing About Me, I’m Dying of Thirst,” and “m.A.A.d city” all in one place? The beats are amazing, and the rapping is on point. I’ve always loved the beat switch on “The Art of Peer Pressure.” However, sometimes his voice can get annoying, like on “Bitch, Don’t Kill My Vibe.” I also feel that in some songs, the beat feels repetitive and doesn’t justify the track’s length. 4.5

Fear Of Music

Talking Heads

2/5

I don't get it. This album sounds pretty average to me. The drum loops are monotonous and repetitive, with barely any variation throughout the songs. On top of that, there's a boring guitar or synth, occasionally accompanied by vocals shouting a phrase. That's it. It's reminiscent of those radio songs that aren't bad, but also aren't good. You just wait for them to be over so you can listen to something actually worthwhile. 2.5

Licensed To Ill

Beastie Boys

3/5

The beats are good, but damn, that flow gets annoying 3

Beautiful Freak

Eels

2/5

I'm not really feeling this one. It's not that it's bad, but the choice of melodies is kind of annoying and cheesy to me. 2.5

Cee-Lo Green... Is The Soul Machine

Cee Lo Green

1/5

Boring and predictable trash 1

Homework

Daft Punk

2/5

I usually love Daft Punk, but this album is not it. It feels like they were still trying to figure out their sound. Honestly, it just seems like a weaker version of \"Discovery.\" There are a few good moments, but overall, it's not as great as their later stuff. 2.5

Back In Black

AC/DC

3/5

Overall, the album sounds good, but I just can't get past his voice. 3

Street Life

The Crusaders

2/5

The first track on this album is really good. Unfortunately, the rest of the album feels like you're stuck in an elevator with generic background music. 2

The Clash

4/5

Just good music 4

Funeral

Arcade Fire

3/5

Somewhere between catchy and annoying 3.5

Metallica

3/5

It's not one of the best albums from Metallica but still decent 3.5
