We’re fragments of fiction!!! This was really up my alley. I hadn’t heard any of this and will revisit. I love that the songs all sound different and add to the overall listening experience. I want to say that it’s “proggy” but I don’t really know what that means. The musicians are talented. Thank you.

Hard to follow up to the very popular Maiden album. I suspect this one might not catch as much. This is one of my fav albums by this artist. I’ve listened to it a hundred times and there might be a spectrum of “growing on you” with repeated listenings. I had pirated a leak of it back in 2005 and listened to it a lot. When the final album dropped, it was enhanced by all sorts of production accents and small tweaks to the mix. Beck is good at finding cool sounding combinations of sounds and words (I love when he says “cliche wasted hate taste tested in Hell Yess). You may recognize the artwork on the album; it was done by winnipegger Marcel Dzama who also did the art for Reconstruction Site by the Weakerthans just a couple of years prior. Musically, I think beck is at his best here imo. I really like when he goes the pop/rock route and this album has something for everyone. A lot of the songs are danceable. Epro has a badass riff that’s fun to jam along to. A good amount of nonsense lyrics which I respect beck for. I really like the song Missing because it is lovingly melancholy, something that Beck can do very well in previous records like Sea Change. I have a feeling we will be seeing a lot more beck on this list!!
Hipster smoking a cigarette, the album
The Rolling Stones' "Exile On Main Street" has long been hailed as a classic rock album, but upon closer examination, it falls short of the lofty praise it often receives. Released in 1972, this double LP is often revered for its raw energy and supposed authenticity, but unfortunately, it fails to deliver a cohesive and memorable listening experience. One of the major drawbacks of "Exile On Main Street" is its lack of focus. With 18 tracks spanning various genres such as rock, blues, country, and gospel, the album feels disjointed and unfocused. While variety can be a strength, in this case, it becomes a weakness as the songs struggle to form a coherent whole. The lack of a clear direction or thematic consistency leaves the listener feeling disconnected and unsure of what the album is trying to achieve. Additionally, the production quality of "Exile On Main Street" has often been praised for its rawness and lo-fi aesthetic. However, the poor production values only serve to undermine the potential impact of the songs. The muddy mix and overall lack of clarity detract from the musicianship and make it difficult to fully appreciate the intricate details and nuances of the performances. It feels like a missed opportunity to fully showcase the talents of the band. While there are a few standout tracks like "Rocks Off" and "Tumbling Dice," much of the album falls into a repetitive and uninspired pattern. The songwriting often lacks depth and originality, resulting in forgettable melodies and generic lyrics. Even Mick Jagger's usually charismatic vocals seem lackluster and uninspired throughout much of the record. Furthermore, "Exile On Main Street" suffers from pacing issues. The length of the album, combined with the lack of strong hooks and memorable moments, makes it feel like a slog to get through. Tracks blend together in a monotonous haze, and the album becomes a background noise rather than a captivating musical experience. It fails to hold the listener's attention and lacks the dynamic shifts and surprises that make a great album truly engaging. In conclusion, while "Exile On Main Street" may have achieved iconic status within the rock music canon, it ultimately falls short of its reputation. The lack of focus, poor production quality, and repetitive nature of the songs make it a forgettable and uninspiring listening experience. While it may hold nostalgic value for die-hard Rolling Stones fans, it fails to stand the test of time and does not live up to the grandiose claims made about its greatness. It is a mediocre effort from a band capable of so much more.
Under my thumb is probably my favourite stones song! Decent overall

I’ve never heard this record before. It reminds me of satanic panic. First song, self title and the namesake of the band, it’s got a real sinister sound to it. The Wizard is a lot more fun and almost has some precursor elements of War Pigs in the chord progression. Some real good jams. Ozzy’s vocal layering kind of sounds like a goblin sometimes. I saw him perform once and he was reading his songs on the teleprompter. We are so used to hearing the same old stuff (two songs) by this band but you forget that the guy can sing!! Some awesome noodling too honestly
She’s so cool. I guess there was a lot of soul music coming out of Memphis at that time. Son of a Preacher man has been in a lot of stuff like a Dr. Pepper commercial and also on the Pulp Fiction soundtrack. This isn’t going on my gym playlist but I would eat a grilled cheese and bowl of Campbell’s tomato while listening in the future.
I’ve heard this before. It’s aight, kinda fun. Blister in the son is pretty easy to play on guitar!!
I liked Bobby’s energy and his delivery in some songs, like If You Think You’re Lonely Now. Melodrama I find very funny sometimes and I respect. I can’t help but think there was a fair amount of cocaine involved with the making of this record. Thank you Mr. Womack for gifting us with your art
C’mon man give these guys a break. These tracks rule. I kinda love how contrived they are lol. Some history: I saw this band in 2004, we drove to Minneapolis with friends and my brother bought us beer because he was the only one who was 21. Dashboard Confessional opened. U2 played Vertigo once during the set and AGAIN for encore! no Mysterious Wayz? they did us dirty. I genuinely enjoy Edge’s playing (even though it’s a bit delayed). I love to find contextual things in life so I can sing “even better than the real thing!”. I [illegitimately] used One in a scene of a movie that I made years ago and it never got copyright flagged bc it was only the part where he screams “LOVE IS A TEMPLE”. I have some memories tied to a lot of these songs so they’re good imo
Not all bangers. Comparing this to other rap records at the time was night and day. Kanye makes a point of steering away from the thug shit with a bit more vibrancy. The secret is that he hacks up old songs and pitch shifts the vocals!! Kanye also has an eye/ear for what is cool at the time and capitalizes on it. I would argue that most of his success has rode on the backs of his features, licensing, and ripping off other artists. I did listen to this album a lot in my formative years though!!
The first song I had discovered couple of years ago and subsequently put it on other playlists. It sounds “not of” 1991 but the rest of the tracks do as Slip Inside This House starts up with the drum machine loops. Boom, it’s summertime, you’re playing Sega Genesis in your parents basement. Streets of Rage II. Why does the album open with a gospel song and then the rest is club Jamz dancemix ‘91? There are some tracks where the band finally does Come Together and there is a bit more uplifting music with singing and choir. Loaded is a pretty fun instrumental. You could probably put this album on as background music at a party if you didn’t want anyone to be distracted from conversation. Damaged is a straight up country song. Lots of musical range here and it kind of reminds me of MGMT a bit. I wonder if that band listened to Primal Screamadelica? I guess the album has some bookend songs such as the opener and I’m Comin’ Down. The songs between are a bit of a trip and I guess that’s the idea!
Did someone swap out my coffee for decaf this morning? I am not super angsty today, might try this again another time!! I think I get it though!! Some decent songwriting overall. When you think back to Tuesday this week, at least we can all say we listened to Darklands, right?
I actually like the drums in the first song! Super simple with the double step. I just saw that Dan the Automator helped produce this and that’s pretty damn awesome. I recognize brimful of asha I’m not sure what it’s from. It’s either from an episode of Scrubs or Need For Speed Underground. This is a worldly album, is that a sitar that I hear??? I really like the musicianship but could pass on some of the filler songs that have some noise and drones going on. The sound mix is very rad though. Might serve better if I was in a cloudy room staring at the walls listening to this on final. Good shi(t)p is a good jam. A cool and interesting cross section between Eastern and western cultures here. A little more tongue in cheek with the wacky tobbacky references. Didn’t expect to enjoy this as much as I did! Need a bosom buddy? Just pull out your .45!
We just hit the lotto today apparently!! Yeah this album is awesome. The speed and temp kick you in the pants right off the hop. Some great musicianship all around and Bruce’s voice is some of the best in the biz. I admit I haven’t heard this record. I know many iron maiden songs but less so for albums in their entirety. So this is blank slate for me sage for the title track and run to the hills. They have some awesome energy, a metal band but it’s not super heavy! Prisoner was stand out to me and might be my song on this record. 22 Acacia avenue was a long track that tells a story of charolette the concubine. A lot of the subject matter seems to be about murder, marauding, and other devilish things. Hallowed be thy name’s intro reminded me of some straight Halloween shit.
Hard to follow up to the very popular Maiden album. I suspect this one might not catch as much. This is one of my fav albums by this artist. I’ve listened to it a hundred times and there might be a spectrum of “growing on you” with repeated listenings. I had pirated a leak of it back in 2005 and listened to it a lot.

I have a feeling we will be seeing a lot more beck on this list!!
Some feel good rock songs in here. Can’t feel bad listening to any of this, it has positive tone and energy. Some really awesome guitar playing all around.
I have never given this one a full listen through. I am familiar with Kashmir of course. I didn't realize Trampled Under Foot was a Zeppelin song! Robert Plant makes a lot of "WHUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!" sounds on this record and I think it might be his trademark. Also a trademark of Zepplin: beautiful guitar parts. They have some really great range in sound. One detail that I especially enjoyed was Bonham playing the absolute shit out of his drums for most of these tracks. It's timeless. It's one of a kind. I look forward to more Led Zeppelin records on this list!!
I rewrote this entire review after my morning listen. Some of this was kind of uncomfortable on first listen. I revisited in the evening and it is charming. I feel like the first track is the meat and potatoes of the album and the rest is just bonus DLC. As you know, it is cheesy. This is travel music! It's experimental and so the structure is off-putting. A lot of bleeps, bloops, warbles, and voice mods. Mitternacht goes to a dark dark place (it's a drag and probably kills the inertia) before the final track that is more uplifting. Put this on during a long drive or when gaming and say it's not lit! Wouldn't it be great to sing Autobahn in a 23 minute session of earnest karaoke? I adjusted this from a 2 to a 3!!!
Never heard any of this and I will be honest, (I might go to hell for this) I kinda like it. I hope my pastor doesn’t read this review.
This band is obnoxiously overplayed. The lead singer sounds like your favourite farm animal. Somebody get this drummer a crossword puzzle or something. I think I am heavily bias on this one, sorry to say. It might be different if I didn't already hear all of these songs in Pepsi, Call of Duty, and restaurant commercials for the last 30 years. Front man and guitar man are front and center here. They are really loud with attitudes. It's naughty but is also as family friendly as Disney or Mcdonald's. Listening to this album is like studying a sectional cut of American "flip the bird" culture. Turn it up for the neighbours to hear, fuck em! I can respect that this music is just made to be fun. You don't need to listen too hard to process it and the lyrics are tongue-in-cheek. It's hard to take serious and I think that counts for something!
This was a wholesome album. A lot of really heart warming and blissful songs here. It's impressive that this is over 50 years old! He was 22 when he made this. I remember liking Wild World as a kid. I was glad to see that in the rest of the songs on this album, the artist (call him Cat) is imparting life lessons to kids and younger folks (Into White and Father and Son). There is some bittersweetness here in the Tea that the Tillerman is drinking and I'm okay with saying that I'm glad that I listened today!
Don’t really know much about this artist. I know him because of his covers and not because of this original songs. I’ve heard his (Taylor swift’s) album 1989, and his cover of Wonderwall. Not super into this album today. Might just be the genre…
I am familiar with these guys but not this album. This is dope. I was expecting some basically written hip hop lyrics here (hey it’s tribe called quest and I’m here to say, we like to rap in the old school way). Was pleasantly surprised by the flow in these tracks. Some boombap drums take the lead, as they should, and the emcees get all of the credit. Rappers that gain their notoriety in Queens tend to be pretty killer and these guys are no exception. Worth a listen!! I can't get away from sharing a bit of music trivia if you have read any of my reviews on this site! Something that is worth discussing when studying hip hop music is the artist's vocabulary. These guys aren't dumb-dumbs. I enjoy looking at this site sometimes to see where certain rap artists stack up with their vocabulary against other artists. Just like that fighting game Def Jam but with their pure lyrical content. These guys have 4,550-5,000 unique words in their discography which puts them in the same category as artists like Beastie Boys and Nas. Lots of funny observations to be made with this graph, like if you have a Lil in your name, you are pretty much doomed to be a rapper with a lower vocabulary (2750-3200 unique words). Here is the link: https://pudding.cool/projects/vocabulary/index.html
Going in deaf here. First impression: the album is 35 minutes long. There are 14 tracks and so these are gonna be rapid fire. The songs don’t overstay their welcome if I may write colloquially. White Riot, I had to look up the lyrics as I was having trouble understanding. I thought he was saying “ride the butthole”. These guys are not the Butthole Surfers lol!! Maybe I am ethnocentric. The accents are endearing You can definitely hear the influence that they have had on other punk bands that came decades later. The delivery is crass. Songs are a bit repetitive and missing clever song writing (they follow verse chorus verse chorus/ end mostly) would have liked to hear a bit more variation. One song seemed to have some off-beats to it and reminded me a bit of reggae or ska. I don’t have any strong memories tied to any of this other than making me wish I was listening to Rancid or NOFX. Ready for the next album
Thank the lord for these California Raisins.
Busy day! Gave a quick listen. Pretty fun album but not sure if I’ll revisit soon.
pretty sweet I still like it
A very nice voice. I have seen this artist live before. It’s not quite an aversion for me as I can find things to appreciate. However I think it’s just not for me!
Ahhhhhh this was a delirium.
This is pretty hype. I like it. In my opinion, for this type of music, the closer it comes to the Mortal Kombat Motion Picture Soundtrack the better.
Yea, not bad! I was vibing to the first half of this but it was mostly forgettable!!!
I probably would have liked this if I listened to it as a baby. My parents didn’t have the cassette and they apparently didn’t want to play any of this band’s music on the radio other than Take On Me. Perhaps an under rated band???
I love so many parts of this album. I think the first time I heard Kendrick was when I was sent the music video for Swimming Pools. Cool track but I think I like some of the other songs better from this album. The bass and instrumental on Sherane is tight. It’s small, but I like the trappy snare in Bitch, Don’t Kill My Vibe. Kendrick’s story is in the periphery of the gangsta shit. I realize that he is coming out of Compton but this album is purposely juvenile. The skits are part of the overall vibe and experience of the album but I think they are skippable after hearing them. Fav track is Backseat Freestyle because it’s RUDE. The track with Dr Dre, Compton has a BIG SOUND and reminds me of some of his old music from the 90s. If it was up to me, I would have cut out some of the skits and perhaps a couple of slower songs (Real). I would have added a couple of Kendrick’s older songs from Section 80. I listened to these two albums a lot together and I find that they have a synergy but that’s just my own experience and perspective with them.
WTF is happening in this album artwork. Am I seeing a glitch??? Is this a classified album? I liked the album fine. Some decent Americana and classic songs served up here.
Pleasantly surprised by this artist whose career was marred with far of flying. Enjoyed overall but not sure if I’ll double back to listen to much of this. No other is pretty great
Some good classics on this album. White rabbit is good!! I really like the little jam that is Embryonic Journey
Enjoyed this for some background music today. I found the music uplifting and it made me wish I was on vacation!!
First impression, the beats are pretty cool. The lyrics are a bit basic, like someone went on rhymezone and ran words through to exhaust the simplistic rhymes. Crime Riddem is like this and I TRIED to like it. I find some of the patterns in song writing is quite generic here… chippindale, male, cell, and got me biting all of my fingernails“ 💀 I have not heard of this artist. I personally think that Apple Music was ON ONE for saying this was the best album of 2016. I will not say who I thought was better. Not that this has any bearing on the quality of the music… but Skepta has all of these albums out and sadly he is not on my rapper’s vocabulary graph… https://pudding.cool/projects/vocabulary/index.html “I was in da club and a guy was mean mugging me. He made me spill my drink so we had an altercation”. The beat is lit, but he is not sure what to write the song about so he becomes British Freddie Gibbs. Personally tired of hearing more stories about adverse scenarios in the bar. I liked Man and It Ain’t Safe the best. I guess I am now a bit familiar with Skepta. Not sure if better or worse, but cool to be exposed to another British rap artist to join the likes of The Streets and Dizzee Rascal.
I was not a fan of all of the songs on this record. Many of the songs are cut from the cloth of great 90s alternative and I enjoyed it for that. Lots of dynamic and neat multi instrumental parts. I was not into this on initial listen but it has benefited from the virtue of being a Friday album. I like Rags to Rags the best on this album I think. Reminds me of Beck or even Ben Folds Five at times with the piano parts.
These guys, the music that they play, it’s salt of the earth. Tuesdays gone and FREEBIRD kick ass but the whole album is a safe pick for any BBQ, swim meet, commute to work, or etc.
Fiona Apple is kind of badass, right? Her voice is super smooth. Shadowboxer is a rad song, she's like a lounge singer! Her voice + piano takes center stage in her music. I read her bio and it is sad. Good art rarely comes from a nice place. Impressive for a first album and overall I enjoyed the flow of the music.
We’re fragments of fiction!!! This was really up my alley. I hadn’t heard any of this and will revisit. I love that the songs all sound different and add to the overall listening experience. I want to say that it’s “proggy” but I don’t really know what that means. The musicians are talented. Thank you.
It’s cheese 🧀 😬
This wasn’t bad! Listened to it a couple of times over the weekend. Some of it is pretty epic, like a sweeping score to Shaft. Some other parts, he rambles for a long long time. Musically it’s pretty awesome though. Serves as good background or driving music!! Chocolate salty balls!
Enjoyed this overall…. I knew breaking the law from watching beavis and butthead off of an old VHS in the 90s. Living after midnight is fun!! An obvious comparison to his music is be the "cousin" of Iron Maiden, lots of similarities to their sound. Significantly less shredding and noodling than Maiden but still some great leads and fun melodies.
You be Illin’ vs Tricky. Can you tell the difference? I’m sadly not feeling this one too much today. Falling a bit flat but I wish I could appreciate their hip hops a bit more. I can’t tell if it’s their writing pattern or the boombaps here. It might have also been the raspberries blown on Hit It Run. I know these guys are like protorappers so I gotta respect it. It is also a rapping style that has been parodied so many times that it’s like a meme. Maybe I’ll try it again another day! Maybe now that I’ve heard it once, I can buy their tee shirt from H&M.
A couple of classic songs on here as well as some long as hell jams. It's a good sampler of what it might be like to be at a concert for Deep Purp. Would be great to watch this as a film to see the guys play in their prime!
Really nice! Some good covers but these guys were a also supergroup from the start. I like their bluesy songs the most
The two opening tracks are bangers. Cool to hear Prince on Love Song, never heard this full album before from front to back. Cherish is adorable. Some of these songs are a bit longer than they need to be; I’m sure there’s radio edits (which I have heard for as long as I can remember). This pop music is ubiquitous. Dear Jessie’s lyrics are a bit of a trip but there are some cool layers in this song. Keep it Together has some rad guitar parts. I like when she says the thing about the computer in Act of Contrition
Enjoyed listening to this. These guys are super cinematic; it's part of their mystique. Some really crazy effects and synth. Welcome to the Machine is overall a good song but it really goes to some unpredictable places. Have a Cigar is a really fucking cool song and I haven't heard it as much as some of the other tracks by this band. Listened to the album a couple of times and will revisit
I’m good on most of this one but then I got to the end of the bonus tracks and now it’s funny to me. Some of the songwriting is kind of low effort and then some of it is novel. Consistently MONKS.
Great hip hop album and they are also talented musicians. The songs are awesome, Seed 2.0 is a classic and my fav but Quills is also dope
Really enjoyed this. Was super chill. Very awesome grooves. It’s like going to a cool restaurant and they have 100 things on the menu. I’ll have to revisit
Not feeling it; she has a nice voice though. The audio quality is so clear for a recording in 1957. I have to wonder if my grandparents or their parents listened to this record? I will never know.
This is a great album. Some really cool tracks here with a big range in what their music sounds like. DLZ is still pretty awesome, a perfect soundtrack for when Walter White follows a meth dealer out of Home Depot to threaten him with a “stay out of my territory”. I wish Wolf Like Me was on this album as it’s probably my fav song by them. Saw them play the ‘Burt in 09 and I’m glad I did!!
This might be the perfect rap album. I am glad to see it after some of the other hip hop records as of late. This record is strong throughout and one hell of a debut album. It’s 40 minutes long so it is over before you know it. The skits are minimal. The drums and samples are very rad and pretty much archetypical to NY hiphop. Good times
Never heard of this. I enjoyed it overall. There was quite a few groovy bridges/transitions between the parts of the songs that were really exciting and kept me interested. It felt like a bit of a musical experimentation as it was a touch avant-garde with the instrumentation, production, and especially the vocals.
Meh
Bloodywell right!!! Enjoyed this thoroughly a few times this weekend.
I don't mind this. No skips. Concise collection of songs that don't overstay their welcome
It’s fine!
My fat fingers hit 4 yesterday instead of 3. Wish there was an “are you sure?”Prompt. Anyway: This album is okay. I like the little red corvette song. Prince is a great musician and has an iconic voice. His guitar solos and bass lines are fun. Some of his lyrics in this album, and his attitude, cleared my sinuses. He is sassy. That said, there was some odd production decisions here. Some of the songs jam on and on with not much direction. Sometimes the listener is drawn to hear a woman yelling “Help me!!”, some very suggestive moaning, a child laughing, or an elephant noise. These small bits were obviously added after the fact and Prince probably put his foot down hard on these odd creative choices. All the critics love U in New York has Prince making a call over two-way radio about masturbating. Over and out!
This is an interesting one. Bowie was pretty hip for putting this out right before his passing. I liked the inclusion of the sax in some of the songs. The drums were kinda neat and I liked the synth in Blackstar. I wasn’t expecting Bowie to be singing about his cock in that one song and some of the other swearing he did. It was no Ziggy Stardust but also I respect that this was at the end of his career and he should get to work on what he wants!! During this era of Bowie, Arcade Fire also had him sing in Reflektor, and I was reminded of that track while I listened to some of this.
This is a classic. I enjoyed it. I was singing it on Saturday, Saturday, Saturday!
Not bad
Cool mix of music. Not sure which primal scream I liked more. This one is based off of a movie that seems to be very popular among musicians. I’ll have to watch it.
This has no reason for existing. I don’t get it. There is no purpose. I can’t believe this is on the list and also that it sold 15 million copies and went diamond. Kid rock now plays at county fairs and cancels shows for poor turnout (but blames covid policy to drum up the perfect demographic). I feel like he is just going for shock value mostly. He doesn’t have much to say other than “drink my beer and smoke my smoke”. His legacy is waging wars on marketing campaigns. His rapping is not very creative and kind of weak. I will admit that I felt a tingle when I heard the record scratching in bawitaba. Is that… nu metal? Eminem’s verse in Fuck Off was cool. Instrumentals were okay and there is a range/blend of genres in this album. I am being charitable, would have rather listened to a lot of other stuff today. My friend told me that Kid Rock was a character in the animated film Osmosis Jones. I looked it up and it is true…"Cool, Daddy Cool" features both Kid Rock and his late hype man and rapper Joe C., and the song appears during a scene where Osmosis Jones goes to what appears to be a club with exotic dancers. Rock is actually portrayed as a performer during the scene, and there's a sign on the wall of the club that says "Kidney Rock," which is obviously a play on the musician's name. But Rock's parts of the song are, er, a bit inappropriate for a kids movie. "Young ladies, young ladies / I like 'em underage, see / Some say that's statutory," Rock says [via Genius (https://genius.com/Kid-rock-cool-daddy-cool-lyrics)], before Joe C. chimes in with "But I say it's mandatory."
S’ok.
I’ve heard many of these songs on the radio for many years. Really liked the melody of He Won’t Go.
Nice.
Jazzy jams from the year I was born. There is probably a tasteful time and a place to put this on
He's got a good voice alright.
haha Mingus. He's got a horn.
Some pretty cool parts to this album.
This is a solid album. The drums and bass in Didn't Cha Know is sooooo good. It reminds me of a song by Logic that is a guilty pleasure. My Life has some cool strings in it. The lyrics in ...& On is really great songwriting, the bridge mixes the sound up quite a bit.
Not my cuppiest of teas
Meh!
Really awesome and classic songwriting in this one
Was okay but after a while it all sounded like the same
Not my fav band but some truly sick riffs in this. I have to respect
There are so many sides of this guy's creative genius. I find something inherently funny about him but he also has a super dark side.
This is pretty dope. I used to have this cd in my car. I only understood the innuendo of the title as of about 6 months ago. Hard to believe that this came out in 1999
S'alright
Pretty dang mid. didn't hate it though
I'M BACK BABY. I listened to this while killing demons in Diablo IV. I would not recommend. The Sound of Someone You Love Who's Going Away And It Doesn't Matter is a really beautiful and moving song.
love these guys
Chien!! Andalusia!!!! This is a lot more punk rock than I remember. Listened to this a lot in high school and even made a music video to Here Comes Your Man. Aged well.
Enjoyed this overall. Many tracks I have heard before but never in the succession of the full (greyed out) album. Biggie's delivery is so good.
The Rolling Stones' "Exile On Main Street" has long been hailed as a classic rock album, but upon closer examination, it falls short of the lofty praise it often receives. Released in 1972, this double LP is often revered for its raw energy and supposed authenticity, but unfortunately, it fails to deliver a cohesive and memorable listening experience. One of the major drawbacks of "Exile On Main Street" is its lack of focus. With 18 tracks spanning various genres such as rock, blues, country, and gospel, the album feels disjointed and unfocused. While variety can be a strength, in this case, it becomes a weakness as the songs struggle to form a coherent whole. The lack of a clear direction or thematic consistency leaves the listener feeling disconnected and unsure of what the album is trying to achieve. Additionally, the production quality of "Exile On Main Street" has often been praised for its rawness and lo-fi aesthetic. However, the poor production values only serve to undermine the potential impact of the songs. The muddy mix and overall lack of clarity detract from the musicianship and make it difficult to fully appreciate the intricate details and nuances of the performances. It feels like a missed opportunity to fully showcase the talents of the band. While there are a few standout tracks like "Rocks Off" and "Tumbling Dice," much of the album falls into a repetitive and uninspired pattern. The songwriting often lacks depth and originality, resulting in forgettable melodies and generic lyrics. Even Mick Jagger's usually charismatic vocals seem lackluster and uninspired throughout much of the record. Furthermore, "Exile On Main Street" suffers from pacing issues. The length of the album, combined with the lack of strong hooks and memorable moments, makes it feel like a slog to get through. Tracks blend together in a monotonous haze, and the album becomes a background noise rather than a captivating musical experience. It fails to hold the listener's attention and lacks the dynamic shifts and surprises that make a great album truly engaging. In conclusion, while "Exile On Main Street" may have achieved iconic status within the rock music canon, it ultimately falls short of its reputation. The lack of focus, poor production quality, and repetitive nature of the songs make it a forgettable and uninspiring listening experience. While it may hold nostalgic value for die-hard Rolling Stones fans, it fails to stand the test of time and does not live up to the grandiose claims made about its greatness. It is a mediocre effort from a band capable of so much more.
This rules. I'm going for a run outside
Long form noodling. Not bad for background music!!
This goes hard and contains the remainder of my favourite Pixies tracks.
I think I get it but I'm still not sure if these guys are for me. I might get in big trouble for this but it kinda reminds me of goth REM
Cool.
Awesome.
Good background as others have mentioned. Reminded me of Massive Attack. Are you sure this wasn’t Massive Attack?
Some cool jams in the start of this record followed by some truly trippy and longform tracks. Another album that tries tries to emulate some kind of psychedelic experience. Reminded me of Dr. John's Gris Gris that we listened to a couple of months back.
Not my fav band but I liked this more than Tommy
Classic. Would love to see these guys play this live. Literally been listening to parliament for years. Enjoyment of this music is correlated with the amount of people in the room
Old skool! Hadn’t heard this before. It’s okay. Not a huge fan of some of this old school flow but the DJing and production was cool.
Not bad, pretty bouncy
Love this shit. Chester has such a cool voice. This music was so exciting when I first heard it. It felt like it was made for an angsty teen and that was me. The layering of the different instruments and tracks is absolutely over-produced. They are among the nu metal bands that has a DJ to add in synthetic sounds like drums and other flourishes. It all sounds very artificial. But awesome. I have unfortunately never seen them live before and not sure what quality of show they can produce in-person. Sad about what happened to Chester, but I still like Mike Shinoda quite a lot as a producer and artist.
Everything is alright
I don't know this guy but I sure liked his gigolo song!!
Some classics on here. ‘39 was a song I was most surprised by as the sound is much more conventional to what Queen usually plays in all of the jock rock albums.
Funky funky jams
Pretty awesome. Cripple creek's going on the camping playlist
Ehh! Does she actually perform with a full marching band?!
Super cool
Yes.
It's fine but not my thing
It's so good.
Decent.
This is bad.
Wow! First song had the same rhythm as Get Innocuous by LCD Soundsystem. Imitation is a form of flattery right? I might have liked this a bit more than autobahn. Bring on more kraftwerk
I gotta give it to Nice Cave and his Bad Seeds. This was pretty good.
No thank you
It's Brian Eno, this time with attitude!
Hey! I know this from the radio! Baby One More Time's vocal harmonies sound like Britney is a demon and so she get's an extra star.
This is awesome.
Felt kinda gross listening to some of this today. A few good tracks. Most of it is pretty mid.
I kinda dig this kind of downtempo music. Cool boombap hip hop drums with decent instrumentation. I will listen to this while driving.
Fantastic. Enjoyed this whole album. George’s music is amazing
It's just fine. Is this what American music sounds like?
Not super my thing.
Just alright.
Some good jams on this. I don't mind it!
Really really nice. I love listening to these guys when I am ready to unwind. Regrettably never saw them live but I hope they are around for many more years and continue to make albums like this.
Love this guy
Fun times, some cool callbacks in modern music
Not my thing
This is sick.
Not into it.
Perhaps has never been more relevant until these political times. You won't catch me with an illegal smile (or at least my lawyer concedes)! It all sounds the same. If you have this vinyl, you know what to do.
Not usually what I go for but here we are! It wasn't bad
Powerful stuff!
Not bad. It's no luft balloons tho
Pick it up willie...
They got attitude! But not my favourite presentation
Awesome. I used to bump this on my ipod mini.
What happened to the album? Is this a concept? Pretty weird but I love the title track
It's cute as fuck
I like this. Super cool and relaxing. Listened to it on a long drive today but have plucked songs from this album over the years for various camping playlists and such. Really timeless sound
I kinda like it
Sure why not
Interesting carney music
Pretty chill. Some cool blues rock which I was not expecting. RIP Ozzie!
Enjoyed overall
It's pretty cool. She sings like a dolphin in the first track
This is fantastic. Never heard any of this and pleasantly surprised
It's aight
Yeah it's good enough but not my fav
Not bad but it's no Cripple Creek. I really like The Weight but it's one of those songs that I would just mumble the lyrics until the chorus.
Not bad! These guys are crass and can go kinda hard. Good musicianship too
I dig the lo fi hip hop beats and the scratching. Her voice is also nice but I'm not sure if all of it put together fully jives with my white boy sensibilities
Season of the Witch!!!
KEEP ON CHOOGLIN' this guy has the best voice.
Beck is awesome, weird and I love all of this
Eileen TahLooRye! I wonder if these guys had anticipated that song being played at every Manitoba wedding social from 1982 until eternity
Whoa she said cunt! Decent alt rock from the 90s. Not sure how I hadn't heard any of this. Probably because I was a child in the 90s and there's a lot of dirty swear words on this
None of his notorious songs are on here and a lot of it is sappy. He is a brilliant artist but as others have said, this album is pretty long!
Love this concept album. Some great individual tracks but I like the listening experience as a whole
Yeah Alright
Pretty damn cool
S’ok. Kind of like a sad colour of grey in music form.
The sound of a mediocre band playing music far away
Yeah Alright!
Hell yeah, dude
Pretty cool but I'm not buyin' the t shirt
Some interesting combinations of sounds but his song writing and singing leaves something to be desired. Feels experimental
I enjoy this band. Lots of good stuff on here
Awesome and pure. 4.5
Some big hitters on this one but the songs are bigger than Cyndi now!
Yea it's alright!
Pretty good! Gets kinda jangly which is a sound I don't associate with Elton.
Pretty cute
It’s just okay not my fav and the lead singer is mediocre
Eh…
Nooooo why! WHY
Yeah I like her
Cool stuff
I think I am not the biggest Dylan fan
Pretty cool songs
S’okay!
Eh!
They had me dancing but what now?!
Awesome
It’s fine, I’ll take it
It’s okay!
Love these guys. I think Roses > Hey Ya!
Sweet
Not too bad.
Marc Bolan is awesome.
It's a dang party!
Under my thumb is probably my favourite stones song! Decent overall
Really nice. Impressive musician and bonus points for lowering my BP.
It's cool it's cool.
Some big skips on this record. It's okay
I did spontaneously combust listening to this mambo.
I don't mind these guys but not my fav record by them.
Would be something to see live for sure!
This was next in the queue while I catch up on backlog of albums on November 20 2025. I am also writing in Christmas cards so it was timely.
Good shit. I especially like the song about beverages.
Some recognizable songs there. S'okay
Pretty cool guy and nice music
It's true, nothing was cool pre 1957
Not bad!
This is sweet. I cannot understand a word but the vocals, harmonies are so good. Lots of reverb adds to the atmospheric effect.
When they play loose, the ceiling is higher. Right?
Really enjoyed this one, gave me energy. I like that they are self aware and some of the lyrics cracked me up. They don't take themselves seriously and the music is good.
Nice
Some decent stuff in here, Johnny's songs all kinda sound the same structure wise and it's more about his stories and his philanthropy. Lost points for the record being censored as he said cuss words at literal prisoners.
It's fun to be bad to the bone.
It's in what you don't hear.
Cool
I like it, and it's nice to chew on something that a millennial would recognize.
Real good.
Not bad!
Awesome album. Enjoyed it
Pretty decent
Dig it
Pretty cool. Some interesting song writing and composition. I think they are at the best when they are playing guitar solos
HACK THE PLANET!! Halcyon is an all time banger. This track through a VHS tape is the sound of my childhood
Never listened to this, it's not half bad! Decent rock album
Kicks ass
Pretty much every song on this was squeezed dry on every radio station. I got tired of hearing them. If you listen to this with fresh ears, it might be their most accessible album. There is an irony in these successful musicians commentary on this capitalist hell while reaping all that they see as terrible in the world. What we end up with is something that is actually pretty pulpy. It is sold as a concept album but there isn't much indicating that other than the title track.
Chuck has decent delivery for this old school style of rap. Flava is flava. One song I skipped because I heard "Yea boiiiiii" one too many times. There is so much music here it feels like they really left it all in. I gotta respect their craft here even though Flav is pretty much just a hype man.
Pretty good! Movies of Myself is a great song. Some it kinda took me to snooze town.
I kinda liked that there was a harmonica in this. Overall it was alright
She's pretty cool. Surprised I never heard any of this...
Willie's trying to tug at my heart strings here but I decided that it's not gonna work this time!!!
Pretty dang cool
Pretty cool.
Eh...
AWWWW FREAK OUT!
Eminem is famous, and boy, is he pissed off about it!
Pretty good.
Yea not bad
Pretty cool
Pretty awesome
aura farm
Solid
Meh!
It’s alright! 3.5
No leaf clover followed by hero of the day is cinema. They killed it on this
Outrageous
It's alright!
Thought this was alright!
Seems to go on and on!! So many effects and repetition.
Enjoyed most of this surprisingly
Nice
Yeah this takes me back about 10 years ago…
Enjoyed this one
Yeh okay
Fantastic. This wasn't made recently??
Right on
Greatness
Just let me disassociate and enjoy this.
I like the southern baja flavour
Pretty fun and some crassness
Yea it's alright I guess...
All time classic. Probably the Radiohead that I’ve listened to the most. It is fun to make fun of thom’s voice in Reconer because he sounds like the old man character in family guy “do ya like popcicles?”. Love all of these tracks. I think jigsaw and weird fishes are my fav tracks. Timeless
Kinda snoozeville and sounds different in every son
KINDA LIKED IT
Pretty fun. Strong opener!
Great
Solid album with some great musicianship. Neil's got a weird voice, no?
Loved it.
Ok
Cool!
Darn tootin'
Not bad, pretty cool
Meh! He’s kinda annoying
I liked this one, it struck a chord with me! Reminded me of Bahamas
Not bad. It's okay!
She's really good! Never listened to this other than the singles that repeated on the radio for years.
UR ALL I GOT TONITE. UR ALL I GOT TONITE. This is pretty poppy for the time. I know a lot of these tunes. It's not bad lol
Pretty fun. Nice guitar work
What can I say. When this guy hears a guitar scale, he gives a 3 minimum!
I liked their other albums more. This is like sad B52s
It's fine!
Pretty fun, hadn't heard of this.
Not super into this but I don't regret listening. I can remove the art from the artist here as the concept is kind of disturbing.
A couple of good tracks but overall not sure if this is for me!
Fuck yeah
If it isn't my favourite Beatles album.... Call me a satisfied customer
This was real good.
Cool
Not bad
Eh!
La la la la la la
This shit is somewhat iconic but I must say some of the lyrical content did clear my sinuses. It was a bit long but reaallly funky
I really like this album. Cool sounds, very stimulating and danceable. Good movie soundtrack
This band is okay
That title track is great
This is a pretty dynamic album. A strong start, I really like the first 4 tracks and then it falls off. I lose interest every time. Talented guys though. Good mix of sounds and genres. Sounds like a Sci Fi Western
They have some super old sounding poppy stuff and then some real great ones. Pretty good!
This stinks. Is he a monster?
Eh
Not all that bad. Have a little fun.
Not horrible but nothing stood out to me either!
Obscure, perplexing. But why??
Meh!
Might be his best album but I am not a fan tbh.
America!
Quite liked this one. Nice singing and musicianship
I really enjoy Common's lyrical style and this album in particular has a bunch of old school Kanye West beats that are super fun. Definitely a different time but a classic
She has the voice of an angel and also Puff Daddy is all over this.
Not bad, though they kinda seem like the didn't have fun making this? Some of the music is fine but some feels a bit disjointed and unrevised.
s'ok
I liked the fingernails song!
Pretty fun!
Really nice
Not bad!
I can dig it
I liked this lots. Please to bend down for the one called the Greenman
No thanks
I liked it overall
It's like this and like that and like this and-a!
Pretty fun
Distorted rhythm guitars, the album
Some of those who were enforcers are the same who burn crosses. Never been more truer than today’s day and age right! Someone like Zack and the gang gotta pick up the torch! I like the heaviness of this, the raging against the machine, and Zack’s delivery. Tom Morello is an okay guitar player with a simple technique.
He’s back! Lots of brilliance here. Not big on his voice
Synchronicity II was my jam on this one. Pretty good
Not my fave but it’s ok
Ugh
All the classics in one spot. So accessible
Sleepytown
Was looking forward to some Zutes today and 1001 albums generator.com delivered. We get a full album with a variety of sounds. Never heard it. Not bad
Edge lord gets a band
Why they sing like that lol
Not bad
I’m good on this. No more!
Head music back at it. This one has a smattering of songs that are both cool and gloomy. Cloomy. I like da bendz, rainbows, and the kid one more. I think Karma Police was the first Radiohead song that I ever digested, being on the NOW 1 CD that we would take camping in the 90s.
I’m not a huge fan of this type of hip hop typically but the beats are so good in these tracks. A lot of it is unnecessarily violent and then they seem to take the mask off at the end for the dance bop.
He’s the best. Maybe the best signing voice
Quite liked this one compared to some of their other albums on this list. Is this their best album in my humble opinion?
I want to get off the Toonerville Trolley
Really nice
Yesssss yessssss…! Play the riff and shout the chorus! Yessssss
Wow. It’s classic! What do you want from me?
This is so influential. I do hate the misogyny on display here but also there is some archetypical badassery that transcends the through the music
Wait, seriously?
Liked this one and the first song is the theme song to Severence which is cool
These guys are so talented. Songwriting is top tier and they have a consistent tone throughout that brings everything together. It feels profound when you are listening to it, like the universe is imparting some kind of ancient wisdom upon you
OW! Pretty awesome.
Yes I listened
Decent! He’s a good musician, respect
Rad album. THE WEEKEND STARTS HERE MOTHERFUCKER. SEND TUESDAY MY REGARDS
We all work in a factory
Love this album. It blows my mind drastically, fantastically. I forgot Dr. Octagon being on Diesel Power!! I love how the cockney is somehow accentuated in their occasional vocalist. Anyway, this music gives me energy. With most of my 5s, there is a nostalgic/sentimental component that resonates with me. Sometimes things that you hear for the first time leave such an impact on you. I find myself thinking that music will never be as cool as it was when my neurons weren't fully crystalized.
This is boring!
The Knife is rad. It is a bit unsettling though
Not bad! All new to me!
Wow holy shit!
This is the best Kanye West album. It bumps. Just a good presentation and doesn't overstay too much. Lots of guests. He really captured the popular sounds of the time by sampling Bon Ivor.
It’s okay I guess
Not for me but what a performance!
This shit is awesome. I am listening to it as I type my review as fast as I can. There is a drip of sweat running down my brow and someone is shouting at me in the background so that I work faster.
Big respect for this man. Good music and playing. Now serve me up some pancakes and I’m outta here
Really like this one. It’s a hot summer day!
Won me over a bit with the scatting. Some of it gave me the heebie jeebies, not sure why!
Cool name for an album but not my thing so much
No thank you. on to the next one!
I can dig it
This is pretty slick
Not my fav type of hip hop but the lyrics were kinda creative in this outing.
It's pretty nice and she is very talented. Left me wanting more!
I liked this one. We will see if I’ll revisit this but I liked the mix of genres
Decent. His guitar playing and voice are weird but I can respect him also.
He is a good singer and I like the melodies. The song with Earl Sweatshirt is the best. And Pyramids is a crazy ride, some of the weird retro scales remind me of capcom games.
It’s fine!
French Tom Waits
Not bad!
Okay!
This is pretty cool. Just curious guitar parts in every track. Little Miss Strange came on and I thought I was listening to the Beatles or something!
Fun album, not bad
Quite liked this one once I was able to find it on YouTube
Pretty catchy, fun.
Not my thing!
Ehhh I’m good on this
Not bad! Didn’t mind it
This wasn’t bad!! I really liked Carolan’s Welcome. Such beauty
Nod bad, this one.
This album is a megaton.
Did not like this much. Why is it making me anxious?
Oi! I like these guys. Enjoyed this album and it's contents. Cool beats and stories in the music.
I was not feeling this.
It's meh! Pretty edgy for it's time and that's all I'll say about it!
He might be the best rapper of all time. He must be protected at all costs. Keep this man out of jail and make him president!
Pretty nice.
Really cool vibe. This is under rated
Good stuff! He writes cool songs
Good
Cool!!
Some cool stuff going on here. Interesting sounds. I liked the more downtempo tone from the previously reviewed albums.
Enjoyed this one. Pretty good!
WE’RE NOT WORTHY! I liked it
I’m out
Great voice, what can ya say! Constant craving is a solid song
Just okay. Somewhat dynamic! If I had the cassette I probably would have listened to it a lot but there are more options now
This was all over the place. Not sure i enjoyed it much
Just fine. It’s okay!
Wait, that isn’t a No Doubt song?
Not for me
Somewhat enjoying The Smiths and anything Morrissey has touched has been the biggest surprise of this experiment
Take your buckeroos and get outta town
I liked it!! Some big songs on here
Pretty much what I was expecting
Pretty good! I know them from a Kojima game
So much energy. This was pretty awesome
Pretty slick little downtempo album
Trouble getting into this one
They were okay
A little bit long. Gay.
Some easy listening. It's aight.
Good ol’ Nick and his circus of ghouls! He’s so fun at parties!! If only he didn’t suck the air out of the room…
Solid presentation here. Lupe on the cover looking like he’s an NPC in GTAV after getting rolled by the main character. Some chill beats and samples. I appreciate that the artist can hold a mirror up to the hip hop scene and defy the toxic machismo meta that has ruled over hiphop since forever. Long live nerd core!
Yeh not bad. Dads need hip hop too
Not bad. I can hear the instruments
Pretty generic but alright
Was not super into this but it wasn't all bad
Really great.
Pretty fun.
Not my fav from Beck but still great. This album was a massive tone shift. He can do anything
I feel worldly!!
Was very surprised that this album had so much drum and bass. I've heard Beyonce's hits on the radio for years. Hearing some of the stuff between those songs, not sure if this is for me. A lot of R&B ends up being f*cktunes and this is no exception. I think she knows what it is, how to sell it. It was a lot more raunchy than I was expecting. Jay Z's verse on Drunk in Love is WEAK. His features are so phoned in for some reason.
Pretty good.
Pretty fun
I enjoy these guys
Kinda cool style
These guys are pretty good!
Great list of songs and classic!
A sad man
This album is pretty awesome. The combo of Sulphur and Psychosocial is pretty amazing.
Ehhhh
The complete Huskerworks. My review: it's alright!
Not bad!
It’s just okay! I’ve never been to Kilimanjaro
Jingy jangly. I like the guitar but many of these songs song samey. It’s nice tho
Yeh it’s meh! Sounds like Byrds man
Nice music. Good stuff
Southern maaan
I LOVE this band and I must give this a 5 because Jailbreak album is not on this list and I have to represent. These guys rip hard, listen to the riffs! If I think about music that I like from the 70s, these guys are in the top 3 easy. The transition between Cowboy Song and Boys are Back is super satisfying in this live show. You gotta feel bad for Johnny after he got smacked by the chick at Dino's.
Not bad!
Cool
Who is that lady????
No
Awesome
Very cool
Some easy listening for a Saturday night. Also truly horrifying
Okay. Some of it is cheesy and fun
This guy reminds me of Morrisey a bit. He has some talent. Some lullabies
This is sweet.
Shout out to the song from Tony Hawk. I don’t have much tolerance for Flav. I don’t like that there were zero good hooks on this album.
Not bad. Some fun songs with some dynamic structure to them
A bit avant garde for me but she has a crazy vibrato.
This wasn’t super up my alley
I’ve enjoyed listening to these guys! A treat
Kinda nice. He is a real prick tho right?
Yeah it’s ok. Pretty okay if you ask me
Decent
Sounds kinda rough, no?
My dad would love this
It stinks
I was a big fan of this band! I know most of their stuff. I would say that this is probably their essential record to listen to for a beginner, but it is not my favourite outting by them. Listening to this, I have flashbulb memories of jamming it on my old CD Walkman as I worked weekends at my old high school job. This is good listening for a directionless, apathetic teenager. I like the guitar parts in Drive. I think Brandon Boyd has an underrated voice for this genre. Mike Einziger is a talented musician and producer.
Let’s party
Really enjoyable. First four tracks are all time bangers. The album does slow down and go in some different places. Enjoyed the guitars. I once helped a man make 2 acts in a feature film in which he would try to get Mark Knopfler to play a show with his band. He tried and tried and there was no reply from Knopfler and his movie fell apart. It was a hilarious film though. Anyways, I didn’t know this band was British. They do not sound that way. Why is that? Are they trying to sound American? Maybe, maybe not.
Is this the music that is always playing in the bad guy’s lair? He sounds like Ned from South Park
Best Bowie album out there. I’M A MOMMA POPPA COMIN’ FOR YOU
Pretty dang cool and I didn’t know it existed.
Pretty cool!
He’s interesting! Pretty chill stuff and a great songwriter
Is this a concept album? Kinda humorous
Emocore from 1994. Pretty cool’
Really awesome. What a megaton this album was. I have a flashbulb memory of seeing the music video/hearing for Ironic for the first time.
Love it all. These songs have become bigger than their parts
Not super my thing
Nice
Not bad. Some of it was kinda catchy and has a cool tone
I don’t like it boss
Pretty cool. And Beck ripped off his baseline.!!!
Not bad. Watched the sunset to this album from my front window on March 7, 2026
Kinda chill, kinda cute, I didn’t pay much attention to anything contextual. Even still; I liked their other album better
I am sad and confused (never liked these guys much).
Pretty dang cool there buddy
This is pretty sweet. Very mellow
Nice little discovery through this list. Great music
This kinda rips. Talented dudes.
Liked this one. Maybe second fav Bowie record?
Old school! I like the beats and some of the things he says are insightful and creative. The delivery is kinda nursery rhyme ish by my modern sensibilities but I can recognize that as a personal preference.
I kinda liked it!
This is punk rock, bitch!
C’mon man. I listened to this again today for the purpose of writing this and I realize that James’ Murphy’s voice is kinda crumby. I enjoyed this in my formative years. Listening to it made me feel like a cool New Yorker.
She’s pretty good!
I thought this was pretty damn awesome. Would revisit and also check out some of their other stuff
I’ve heard some of their other stuff during high school. They’re not bad!
This was great!!
Some nice songs on here. I like California Dreamin’
s'alright
Kinda snoozeville and he seems to sound different in every song!
Quite like this.
Kinda interesting. It’s okay
This is fresh. I like the playing
Not my cup o tea but some points for HIllbilly Highway
Yeah it’s whatever! I would rather listen to this than some of the other stuff on this list
This is pretty chill. Not bad but not something that I would go searching for
This is sweet!
Sleepy time gn
Pretty good!!!
Oh yea…
Some decent tracks are still REM tracks
FUCKIN UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUHHHHHHHHHHHHP
Don’t mind it!
Sounds like streets of rage II
Some kinda fun
Good stuff.
No no no no no!!!!!!
Meh
Kinda neat
Was alright
Didn't mind this. Fell asleep but it didn't annoy me!
Love this guy
Fantastic works here. A timeless classic and the archetype for a concept album. I love how these guys can make the music swell in such a satisfying way. It's like a warm hug, which might be what Comfortably Numb might be about?
Fine
Really nice. Play it one more time Booker
The writing is just overly written! Mmm yes I too enjoy writing with my thesaurus handy! Self important and indulgent. Some of the production is a bit choppy, for example, the title track sounds like two separate songs mashed together. Overall it’s fine
This guy rocks the samba
Never actually listened to this... It's good! The beats are awesome and 50 is creative and has good style to his presentation. There is a glorification of violence and pushing drugs which is a bit hack and sometimes bores me as far as taste in rap.
This was pretty good! Creative music
Super fun
Awesome
Pretty fun!
Good times. Muy caliente
Nice voice don’t mind
Classic
This was somewhat unremarkable but didn’t hate it
Pretty cool.
Darn Tootin'
Disappointed.
This wasn't bad! I like the melodies
His best album. I think my grade 12 English teacher played this album for us
Great album with some classics
It’s like moving through mud
This is a fun one. Let’s party!
Like a ROPE OF SAND.
Did not like the first half of this. Guy's voice is weird! The last few songs were well made overall
My ancestry.ca kit told me that I carry all of the genetic traits to enjoy this fully but I just cannot fully. May need a shrink
She’s great and this is a great album
Don’t like it much
Cool band, distinct voice. Unconventional album artwork for the time
Didn’t find this very memorable or inspiring
I do not like his voice
Kinda fun but I don’t like the message!!!!
S’ok. There she goes again!
Pretty cool
Musically this was pretty awesome and Damon Claiborne felt like an accoutrement
Cool!
Cool ride
I was not offended but I didn’t hate it
It's alright!
Not bad!! Liked it overall
It’s dope. I really like the drum and bass
A classic and timeless
First time hearing this. It’s good!
I really enjoy this music as it is cinematic and has a big sound. I think it also suffers from sounding so profound that it ends up being a mile wide and an inch deep. I cannot confuse the profoundness with the gotta get down’ness
Pretty cool overall!
Sweet
Best OutKast album??
I liked his rendition of Satisfaction more than Rolling Stones!
Really great stuff
Yea not bad
Finally some music to listen to while I’m visiting an old library in Transylvania
It's okay! not bad
I saw cool Keith on my 25th birthday at the pyramid after scoring tickets off of Twitter. He did not disappoint. This guy is just super creative and with Automator this album is very unique. I regularly quote “fuck it he’s dead!” And “oh shit there is a horse in the hospital!” And nobody ever gets the reference
Fun record. I appreciate
Beautiful
This slaps.
Pretty cool!
Out there, man
These guys are fantastic.
Right on
Night life… I see. Time for bed, right?
This guy is prolific. I’ve never heard this before but really enjoy this
This gives me anxiety but the song Suffer was super funny to me.
S'ok but not my favourite
S’good and his vocal style is unique
A bowl of Cheerios
Forgetting about it already
Not bad!
Sure he kinda sounds like John Conner from Terminator 2 when his voice squeaks, but the music really isn’t so bad!
Not super my cup of tea
It's a short album that feels long
Whoa, that final song Green Eyes is something else...
Overall pretty fun
Not my fav
Pretty awesome
If you tune in to Much Music on Friday nights, you can watch Electric Circus
Musically it's okay, the message is toxic. A product of his environment!
Pretty sweet
Pretty cool but short!
Not bad. Some 80s cheese in here
The music is fine. Some catchy and horny songs. So much Rock Band was played
Some of this is kinda hacky.
I didn’t really enjoy this one. Lovely voice that takes centre stage
S’ok!
It's not clocking to you is it? Syd standing on business.
Pretty good! Never heard this before.
Pretty nice, daddy-o!
Pretty cool. Reminds me of a certain Canadian band that rhymes with HapanFroids
Shout out to the rust belt
Me likey
At first I was disappointed that I wasn't hearing disco, or the falsetto. Overall ended up being a decent folk/rock album
Nice voice
Didn’t mind it!
I didn’t like it
This whole thing was fantastic
It's britpop!
Big respect to the boys! Some of the references are very funny these days.
Nice
Cherokee is a banger. That’s going on the camping play list
I liked these guys
Pretty good!!
Lyrics were pretty crass for an album from 1968. I like that, he’s got an old soul and that’s cool haha
This was the number 1 album when I was born. What was yours?
More like, You Want It Growly! Is there a filter that I can use to make my voice sound like this?
Some great songs on here and just solid all around.
Pretty fun album, I can dig it.
Surprising bit of commentary. Singing and musicianship are alright
A few good tracks but mostly too long and a bit repetitive.
Great and does not overstay it's welcome.
This needs some classic 90's attitude! Where is the personality??
Some great songwriting.
It's holey
Far from the hip-hop that I was expecting. Feels like a new experimental rock genre or something? s'ok
Not bad!
Never heard this before. Old skool! it's alright...
Not bad my dude
Some decent stuff, some was not nice to listen to. I’ll be charitable with a 3
My wife didn’t like the theremin but I thought it was okay
Pretty cool music
No thanks
Kinda old school metal for my modern sensibilities
Abraxas, I give myself to thee!
Not into it... Turn him down in my headphones
Enjoyed these guys. They cooked on this one. 3.5
Pretty chill
Pretty chill. I like
Not my fav sound but I get it
Portuguese jazz/lounge music. Pretty chill.
Those saxophones never stood a chance.
Pretty spacey
Real good. Listened to this one a lot
Haven't heard this album in like 20 years... It's cool
Hey man, I couldn't record an album half as good as this. I'm not sure why there is a subtle aversion to REM. Maybe I heard ITEOTWAWKIAIFF (It's The End of The World As We Know It And I Feel Fine) one too many times?
There's a lot of blastbeat drums in this, damn. I thought this was gonna be some kind of "golden oldie" Nanci Griffith type album and was not expecting the jungle clinic.
This gets kinda trippy in some spots. Liked it!
Pretty cool
She has a nice voice
Interesting
Awesome album.
Enjoyed this. It’s a wild ride!
RELIGIOUS OVERTONES
Hipster smoking a cigarette, the album
Cool baby
Pretty decent
Steven Tyler makes a pterodactyl sound in Monkey On My Back.
Pretty nice. Good music, some of it got real melancholy which I don't mind.
Some okay stuff but a bit frenetic in the wrong ways for me. I thought that it sounded a bit loose but as the album progressed, I agree that the musicians knew what they were doing. Maybe a 2.5 for only being available via cassette tape from 1998
Classic album. Some really cool guitar riffs and I dig the melodies in their choruses. Some if it is a bit droney and hypnotic which I guess is what "stoner" means?
Classic.
I've been listening to John Mayer cover these songs for years.
Some good musicianship here. JT is pretty much doing his impression Michael Jackson here. Last handful of songs could have been cut from the album. The last song is sooooo sappy lol
I like this one. Really good
Lovely
I tried to like it. Something about the guy’s voice….
Not my fav but not awful.
I listened to this a lot at my cousin's house while playing Donkey Kong Country with Orange Crush and Old Dutch. I still think he's saying "DONKEY KONG... EVERY DAY" in Genocide. No skipz
Might be slightly better than the last album that came up in 2023 but not by a big margin. Not a fan
We've all been there right fellas?? LMAO j/k Anyways, I like her voice and some of the slide guitar in this. I like how she really doubles down on the shoe metaphors in The Shoe Goes On The Other Foot Tonight. "I thought that she was going to air some dirty laundry but it ended up just being a song about shoes!"
Zombie oh Zombie!! Nigerian party music!! Pretty fun
Nice blues rock. This guy Eric Clapton sure made a lot of music over the years!! Some tasty licks and noodling
Hahhhh! Hahhhh ta hanna naaaah! Oh yeah! These guys are the real deal eh? Kinda reminds me of a more country Aerosmith.
GARY'S GOT A BONER! This was pretty good.
Not bad. The mix is weird but also sounds like grungey indy music from the 90s. This is also the fourth album by PJ on this list so far??
It's dynamic alright and okay enough.
Not bad, pretty good!
It's cute as hell
Some really great tracks on this album and also a few folk-indy that don't really do it for me. I remember listening to this many years ago and probably haven't touched this album in 15 years. I'll round up to a 4
This wasn't that bad... they switched up their style a bit throughout the album. Lead singer kind of sounded like the guy from B52s and I kept wanting to hear him say "So hurry up and bring your JUKEBOX MONEY!".
Enjoyed this one! Gets a bit heavier than expected.
Not offensive but just fine I guess
It didn’t all sound the same! Not my fav type of music
I listened until completion
Frank black was always the highlight of the Pixies. This still holds true!
Ketchy shuby is a live changing song that has shaken the very foundations of what music is for me.
I guess deep down, we are all renegades of our time and age. Poppinsockinrockinwithasideofhiphop!
I would be disappointed if I bought this album in 1976 on a whim
Not my fav
Not a whole lot of variation here. At the end of the day, teen girls need hip hop too!
Bless this noisy mess
I really like Orbital and this type of sound in general. There is some nostalgia in this for me. Helped me keep focus while driving today!
I'm sure there are tons of classics here, like Aaina Wohi Rehta Hai. Should I watch the movie?????
Rocket Reducer No. 62 - Talk is pretty awesome if not stupid and hilarious. I’M IN A BAND AND I LOVE IT… OOOOO YEA. Classic Yea band
Classic jock rock stuff. Some hits, some stuff I hadn’t heard that surprised me
I'm good on this one bruh
This is me in grade nine, baby! The bass player Feildy is awesome
Dank riffs
It stinks
Not super for me
The lyrics and words are very much front an center as Mr. Cave leveled up his songwriting chops. I found my mind wandering during my listen and if you're not processing the words there is sparse synth/piano/vocal layers throughout. I respect the artwork here but I didn't love all of it. Hollywood is pretty cool.
Liked this. Got a great 70's sound!!
Pretty cool not bad
This album was great. Cool mix of drum and bass and hip hop.
Nice
I put on my loose fitting draw string pants. I roll out my yoga mat. I initiate shavasana and the world melts away. I fall asleep and dream about eating cheese burgers
Smoooooooooth operatooooooor This is chill
This thing really sent out some shockwaves in the pop scene. What would the world have been without it???
Probably their best album tbh
I recognize this music! From the radio! I don’t doubt her talent! Might not choose to put this on again
Kinda fun and edgy for ‘68. She has a some good pipes too!!
Wild ride... Imagine doing It's Buisness As Usual at karaoke night
Solid 3
Many singles
This was just okay!
I can’t believe it’s not Beatles! I like my Brit pop how I like my processed meats; heavily manufactured. Wait, which one is supposed to be Paul?
Liked it.
Wild ride
Enjoyed it overall
It’s aight!
Enjoyed this album’s offerings
Kinda sleepy!
This goes pretty hard! I like the beats, rapping, and there are some good features.
Yea it’s okay! Not offensive by any means but I didn’t read the lyrics
s'okay!
Fantastic! Incredible!
This might just be the essential Radiohead album.
I think I have to be in the mood for an album like this. Bluesy riffing. Today I was not in earnest
Not really my thing but not bad
Glam rock. That was just ok
Not bad. Interesting and I would not have listened otherwise
Pretty fun album overall despite not knowing a lot of his catalogue
Already forgot most of it
I appreciate the rawness of this album!
This is pretty damn fun. The beats and basslines are pretty awesome. Respect to the emcees for the gift that they have bestowed on us
Really strong start and consistent throughout. Found myself enjoying the 12 string and slide guitar parts especially.
This was not bad! Unfamiliar with this list of songs. I think his songwriting changed quite a bit nine years after this was released. Apparently this guy performed oral sex on sailors or something had to get his stomach pumped? I could see how that would change a guy. Also, the ending track has some cool rock n roll attitude; “you’re my girl!”
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Sign me up for an album that is full of songs like Monkey. That song changed my world
This was incredible. My brain seemed to sync with whatever energy this album was emitting and I got a lot of word processing done. I am a fan of this band's work when my cousin gave me one of their CD's (burnt). I've always liked the atmospheric indy sound.
It’s in my ears! Get it out!
I liked it. This came out in ‘69? Wow. The artist’s work was elevated through the remaster on this one for sure.
Nonsense tings plenty for Nigeria AND Africa!!!
Yeh, I thought she sounded like a Harris…
This man is a menace! Dare say I had fun
He won me over with the line about toast (I'm big on toast).
Singer should be better. He sounds like Elon Musk. Can we just delete his voice tracks?
He seems to be a class act, but is he a scoundrel?? Musically it reminds me of an old movie.
The drones are almost comedically loud over the actual music. On top of that, tons of distortion. And while I love me some industrial, there is a line somehow crossed here.
It’s alright! Doesn’t take itself too seriously
Some worldly sounding music mixed with some hip hop. I recognize some parts as samples from other more current artists (you know what I mean!). Can’t seem to know what it wants to be
This is awesome. More stuff like this pls
This is the type of guitar playing that is kinda fun to watch live, would be really fun to play along to, but isn’t super dynamic or incredibly exciting. It’s fine and there is a time, place, and setting for this. I want to hop in a canoe and paddle slow a creek
The original Iron Maiden Eddie looks soooo dope. Love this album too. This was a treat
One of the guys voices sounds like the word “yarl” but I love it
Standard pioneer euro synth. Don't these guys write about non European nations too?!?!
Some cool jams in this one. Nothing super stand out but fun enough to meet the threshold of 3
Chi centred. Energy flow through chakra
I gave this a real earnest listen. Some cool dub beats and that song from Mr. Robot. I think Give Up was my fav track
Same old Costello
The most advanced acapella record I have heard. She should have gotten MC Rahzel from SSX Tricky to be a guest vocalist. Some of it was pretty cool if not unsettling!
Enjoyed this one
Pretty decent. never heard any of this.
Really bad. Frankie's lying in hell.
Duck & Buster, just awful
There is a lot going on here and it wasn’t all that bad!
I did not like this at first but there is some funny novelty here and it’s surprising to hear their colloquialisms of old.
This album is definitely more recent than most on this list! Musically it's not bad! I cannot comment on race, prejudice, or discrimination for the purpose of writing this review; but I can be open to the message!
I liked this one!!
Pretty cool old school hip hop. Wasn’t just the same ol nursery rhyme singsong Mary had a little lamb shit. They mix it up a bit and do some decent syllable rapping. The beats are good. Solid
S’whatever
Pretty cool how hypnotic this music can be
This one was not bad
Enjoyed this one. She’s pretty good! Easily digestible
Pretty fun punkish style
Yeh not bad!
They're not bad. I love the Adjective/Verb Street Nouns!
Thank you Mr. Waits for another ROPE… of SAND!
Yeh not bad. Some slow burners in there for sure
Kendrick's bass player, awesome. Some tasty licks and the songwriting is kinda funny and raw.
Let’s all go out for some sodas
Giddy up a ding dong is an instant classic that makes you think. I thank Mr. Harvey for saying what needed to be said
It’s alright… some cool beats
This is more of a cultural artifact than an artistic statement. These guys are wringing everything out of this lemon right at the peak commercial success of nu metal. How else can we make money off pre 911 of rebellion against nothing? Wes Borland is a highlight with his eerie guitar playing.
Pretty decent
Not bad. “Nobody listens to techno!”
These guys are the real deal. Doesn’t get much more punk than this
The music is good but the skits are so juvenile haha. I overall liked the beats and samples used as well as their abilities as rappers
Hearing some of these songs has hit place deep in my lizard brain. I have heard them when I was very young (post 1814), and I somehow have some flashbulb memories tied to them. Pretty wild when you think about it.
It’s aigt
Not bad
Feels ahead of their time! I found some of it kinda sounded the samey to me
Kinda trippy haha, not bad
Pretty chill, I can dig it. Some clever use of synth and stuff
It’s okay! I liked some of the flanger lol
I liked it! Decent variety I guess. Mostly instrumental
