Too many shitty intros and outros ruining the songs/album. If they were separate intermissions and could be skipped from the album, then maybe it could be saved.
2/5. Shit.
Chill but nothing special
2/5 impressively bland
3/5, not my genre. Sounds like shit.
Not Björk's best work, but good practice and I am glad she went solo later. This album just felt messy, she's just screaming with some shitty music in the background.
Birthday was a good song, everything else was pretty bad.
3/5, not my genre but the titular Band on the Run is very snazzy.
It's comfortable music that's pleasing to the ears, but I wouldn't listen to it again
Do you wanna dance was alright, but I don't want to listen to a bunch of frat boys practicing the guitar.
Shit show.
Very chill, very nice, very rarely hear some audience noises after like 10 minutes of music, so all in all a good album.
3/5, ABBA is ABBA but there are some surprisingly listenable songs on this album
Incredible voice, absolutely amazing to listen to in the background of a romantic movie scene, but sadly not pleasant to listen to on its own.
The old-school cadence and sentence structure makes it feel like I'm listening to non-stop ad libs, and the volume varies WILDLY withing a single sentence. Frank could be halfway through a lullaby and suddenly starts shouting the 5th word, shaking you out of your slumber ... just odd.
Gorgeous voice, great effort, but a 3/5 for me.
First song is a classic, and seems used in like every skateboard-ish commercial ever.
Supply and Demand is a fucking war crime disguised as a song.
And it just went downhill from there, like the Tony Hawk Pro Skater levels these songs belong in
2/5 made me angry
You can not convince me that hip-hop is music. It's awkward poetry read to some shitty beats.
2/5 dogshit.
Joy divided by zero.
Horrendous, I think there's one track on there that I could classify as a song.
3/5
Some solid tracks, mostly easy to listen to, strong vocals.
But then there's some songs mixed in that definitely go against the Geneva Convention, like This Is The House
An absolute classic. Great sound, lots of anger, yet a pleasure to listen to.
If it didn't have Breed, Territorial Pissings and Endless,Nameless on the album then it might've been a 5/5.
No, this isn't it.
Most songs were too calm for my tastes, and despite me not liking La Grange much in Guitar Hero, it sounded even worse this time around.
They know how to play the guitar, but I'd like to see them play the guitar somewhere else.
2/5.
I was on the shitter for some of this album, and when Turn Blue came on I pushed as hard as I could just so I could run back to the pause button.
The rest of the album wasn't that much better.
What a fucking disaster. 1/5.
More soy than a Burger King Impossible Whopper.
Good voice, but nothing special. Soothing but boring.
The first 6 seconds of A Hazy Shade of Winter were pretty great.
But the rest of the album is just an absolute masterclasses by the greats, Simon and Garfunkel.
A masterclass of how not to make music.
2/5, tragic
Absolutely delightful.
The singer's excellent voice and range is accompanied by a band that knows exactly what it's doing. Pulling out all the instruments, and switching between being delicate and bold playstyles to fit any song.
There's quite a lot of variety on the album, but all of it is memorable and impactful.
5/5.
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
If you ever needed a definition for ear rape, this is it.
This "music" makes me physically angry. If I didn't stop this album halfway I would've gone out to the nearest school and punched a toddler.
1/5.
Offensively boring.
The song Let's Get Killed was alright, but this whole album is just very mediocre beats played on repeat. There is zero progression throughout the songs.
You'll have a better time clicking through samples on Fruity Loops.
I like the part where Yoshimi goes " wop wop woooooop", but I am not sure if he had to do it for 5 minutes straight.
It's okay, it has a unique sound, feels interesting, but doesn't blow me away. I expected much, MUCH more from such cool art on the cover..
3/5.
Overall a solid entry.
Intro is cool. I assumed it was a talkative intro and then the second song was a banger, but it turned out to all be the first song.
Second song is a travesty, too much harmonica.
Evil Woman is awful.
And I should've listened to the song called Warning, because it was a warning for the god awful solo about 6 minutes in... dropped it there.
3/5 at best
This sound is a dime a dozen.
The first song sounds like a commercial, it feels like I'm being sold something.
This album/band is not horrible, it's just nothing special. I personally find it tiring to listen to.
And they've completely lost the fucking plot with Rococo.
There's like 30 more minutes of this shit, nah I'm good.
2/5.
Like Björk, but without being weird.
Like Katie Melua, but trying too hard.
Like Phoebe Bridgers, but without knowing how to sing.
It gets a bit better further into the album to be fair.
3/5.
Aggressively boring
An absolute classic, with quite a bit of noise in between bangers of songs.
Paranoid Android and No Surprises are timeless, and while this album (and Radiohead in general) is forever ingrained in my memory for being amazing soundtracks to Ergo Proxy and Confessions (Kokuhaku) I can't give this the full 5/5 because a lot of songs are just a bit too noisy/weird..
Yeah yeah, fuck the police, we get it ...
I detest hip hop
Not a huge fan of the "I'm not singing but just talking over some music" genre.
Man has a nice voice, but doesn't seem to do anything with it. Just annoying to listen to in the long run.
Folk off with this shit
2/5
Overall not a big fan of their more Rock-y sound, I wish they'd stick to their creepy electronic stuff.
I was thinking no song really stands out, but then Backdrifts hits with an absolutely wicked intro.
We Suck Young Blood could've been shortened to We Suck, that song is awful.
The whole second half of the album was disappointing to be fair..
1001 British albums you did not need to hear before you die.
I have no clue what to rate this, because I hate the shit out of this and it hurts my ears, but is doesn't seem awful for what it is.
3/5 but a 2/5 because I fucking hate it.
Classic rock, good stuff, but I've kind of grown out of it and it can get very tiring listening to a screaming voice all the time.
4/5
Sweet Love was sweet.
Been So Long probably refers to the start of the song, no idea why that song had to be so long, felt like an eternity.
Overall a very good voice and songs that are pleasant to listen to.
I'm just a little too lonely to give this 5 stars.
Classic.
'One' is absolutely amazing and always will be.
Strong selection of songs with the true and true Metallica sounds to it.
I like Radiohead for their unsettling, uncomfortable electronic sound. Not for their average attemps at Rock.
Good songs: High and Dry
Great song: Street Spirit (Fade Out)
Awful songs: The Bends, Black Star
Ah yes, chill and relaxing music that makes my blood boil.
I dreaded this album because i can't stand reggae, so i was surprised that the first song Natural Mystic was actually good. Maybe i was wrong about Bob Marley.
No, i was not. Reggae is still shit, and the rest of the album was hard to get through.
I'm being generous with a 3/5
Album you hear 1001 milliseconds before you die.
This shit is so bad it makes me want to commit sudoku.
Genuinely the worst entry on this list by far (so far), I have absolutely no fucking clue why this is on the list.
Pity She Was a Whore: Pity this song sucks more balls than she did, just 5 minutes of noise
Maybe his other works are good, but this album does not show me why David Bowie is worshipped like some sort of musical god. This is some degenerate with an above average voice making weird nonsense.
It's ok
