Late highschool early college me would have absolutely loved this album. Unfortunately for 2026 James, this type of music has completely fallen off of my enjoyment radar unless they are songs that I already knew.
Very sad boi music.
The Happy Song at the end was very randomly weird and good though.
That was just a bit too goofy for me. I think I would like them if I only heard a couple of songs here or there, but I did not need to listen to a whole 18 song album.
Sounds like Canadian Drive By Truckers, but much better I must say. This is just some good ol fashioned, no nonsense, southern/folk rock with hard driving guitar. But still lands as a mid to high 3
Nothing ever felt right about that album. As soon as something enjoyable would happen it would then turn really strange. Was definitely so cool parts that I liked but overall was not great.
The Waiter song was one of the most annoying songs I have heard and I need it to disappear form my mind.
I guess this is a highish 2
Had some pretty cool beats, but was never anything better than good background music
That was a pretty weird and lazy way of doing an album. As much as I love me some local on the 8s jazz fusion which I think shaped my music taste from when I was a kid, I really didn't need 30 minutes of it to end this album. Especially in horrific quality.
I am not sure which human chose this as their one and only album to add. But we are all a little bit stupider and may god have mercy on their soul.
LOOOOOOOOW LOW 2, just because local on the 8s jams
Some decent heavy beats in a fair amount of songs but others were quite bad/boring. Overall I'd say I liked it a good amount but not more than a 3 but it was a high 3
Just a little bit too improvy for my liking. Sure it is a good jazz album for those who like this style, just not for me
That was some of the oldest timey trumpet I've ever heard. Was nice to listen to but got quite repetitive. Glad I only listened to the 55 minute version on Spotify rather than the 4.5 hour version listed on the wiki
Would be a wild move to give my added album anything other than a 5. Had a crisis choosing between this and another one of his albums Black and Blu but ultimately picked this because it was the first album that came to my head when I heard that we got to add an album to this list once finishing.
Guitar Man and Low Down Rolling Stone are two of my favorite all time songs. Plus so many other face melters
Hmmmm 4 thousand monthly listens on Spotify, did this guy put his own band on here?
I really really do not like intentionally lo-fi music. I could not listen to this whole album it started giving me a massive headache. Sounded like it was recorded through a Speak and Spell
That was incredibly strange but so wildly intriguing. I wanted it to keep going so I listened to the last 4 bonus songs as well. I really don't know if it was good or not, it was more just so trippy and was all in my mindfuzz the whole time.
I think I am going to go with a low 4 here mainly because of the uniqueness of this strange trip of an album
This album had some really good high energy songs that I enjoyed, but a few too many really emo songs. Especially the song that ended it that was a terrible ending.
Was nice to get an emo rock album on here that we had rarely any of so it was a nice mixup.
Was a bit skeptical going into this being a soundtrack for a movie have never seen, but this was a pretty sweet album. The immense amount of vaporwave throughout the whole album was pretty bitchin'
Midlife Crisis just injected me with the ultimate nostalgia drug. RV sounds like mfing Tom Waits.
There were some things that I really liked about that album but mostly things I didn't. Much heavier than Faith no More that I am accustomed to. The ending song sounded like a different album. Does not deserve a 2 but it has to be a low 3.
Kevin is a Jizzlobber
That was an incredibly satisfying album to listen to. Did not mind at all that it was an hour and 15 minutes long, I enjoyed every minute. Midnight City to kick it off really sets the tone and it does not turn back from the cool electronic spacey nature.
Very solid 4.
That was a lot of noise and quite annoying. Low 2
Pretty depressing and noisy and just not my type of music. Cannonball is a song that I knew but have not heard in a long time
I really liked that album just some good rock with synths thrown in and a female singer with a great voice to go along with everything. Pretty much everything I was hoping for when reading about the album beforehand
Glad we are finally getting into some good albums this past week or so, because the first 5 or so albums from the user submitted ones did not give me high hopes for other peoples music tastes.
This was a really fun high energy punk-ish sort of rock album. Really unique guitar sounds that added some nice flavor to this album.
Same Kooks was sweet caught my self head banging a bit to that one.
The slow songs were kind of whack and brought down the mood, but the fast songs outweighed them but I think this still only gets a mid to high 3
Such a baller album that I have never listened to but wish I have a long time ago. I don't think I've actually ever listened to a full Avicii album now that I think of it.
Just has some great chill electronics which made it such an easy listen. This style of electronic music is what has hooked me into the genre.
Going to be giving this a relisten and it lands in a very high 4. Not quite epic enough for a 5.
Some incredible strumming that's for sure. Was getting a little old until the standing bass came in on Plaza Alta, that song was a heater once that happened.
Ended with some more really good strumming. Not something I would ever seek out to listen to but still cool to listen to for 35 minutes once.
Was a bit skeptical going into that album in the first couple songs being a little strange to start off, but this really grew on me as it went through.
Had some really cool metalish type songs I believe Blitzregn Baby and Auksjon were my favorites. Also had some mega duds though scattered throughout.
I'd say it was strong enough for a low 4 though.
That was just a straight up sick metal album. Hilarious that this band turned into Trans Siberian Orchestra. Strange Wings was a great song.
Started off a little too mushy for me in the first couple of songs. But rounded out nicely into a very solid folk album.
This sounded like the band No Vacancy from School of Rock that won the Battle of the Bands. Just an incredibly mid alternative rock album that was way too long for what it produced.
Feed me all of the Jazz Fusion you'd like, i would listen all day. Just such an entertaining form of music where you just never know where it is going to go and what instruments are going to pop up next.
I feel like I have heard of these guys before but just can't put a finger on where.
Anyways, I switched this to a 5 because I listened to it for a third time in 2 days and found more and more things to absolutely love about it
Was a bit hesitant going in seeing that this was a hardcore punk album which I am not a huge fan of generally. But this album was pretty awesome. It was just the right amount of hardcore for me, sounded a good bit like Rage Against the Machine at times.
Was really going full throttle at work while blasting this. Definitely exceeded expectations.
Had a few parts that were fun, but was overall just some absolute 80s dance-pop shite.
I just want to listen to more Snarky Puppy.
What in tarnation was that entire album?? I felt like I was involuntarily thrown into a k-hole. Especially the very end of that last song where it was alternating left and right headphones.
3/5 would recommend doing every drug on planet earth and listening to this.
Whoever put this on here fuckin rules! This is a top live album for me. Absolutely love MMJ!
So many absolute jams on here from their earlier days. Steam Engine (shout our Shakey Knees) Run Thru, and can't ever forget Dodante which I wish was 35 minutes long. Could honestly list every song as being incredible.
One of the easiest 5s I could give
Unexpected enjoyable album, did not have high hopes look at the genre type. This was like metal shoegaze it felt like where the instrumentals were just a continuous noise it felt like. The vocals were a little too sludgy for me but I really liked to instrumentals throughout the whole album.
Listening to Khrungbin just always puts me in a great mood with how smooth the music is. Especially when it is 68 degrees out and I have my windows open in my house.
People Everywhere is a top song. Mr White and White Gloves are also standouts.
Not the strongest of 5s but I can't give this anything different
Freaking Out the Neighborhood is a really good song. All of the other songs just kind of came and went. Wasn't bad just not very memorable.
That was a lot of yazzy yazz. Not my type of music at all.
That was a really interesting rap album and a style I have never heard before. Was very rough at points which overall made it a bit of a difficult listen but there were parts that were very cool. Can respect it, but not for me
Tool is one of the most unique sounding bands in the fact that their songs don't really have a specific pattern that they ever follow. It makes for such a cool listen because every song stays fresh.
I have never listened to this album fully, just a lot of the songs individually and it was quite a journey. Parabol into Parabola is awesome.
This one was hard to rate because I love Tool as a whole but I think this album just fell a little bit short of a 5. That last song was creepy as fuc too
Had some fun beats and tunes in it the whole time, but have never been able to really jive with the singer of Depeche Mode. Just a little too goofy sounding for me.
Low 3
These songs would be on the soundtrack to Spanish Tony Hawk Pro Skater
Some nice catchy indie beats at a decent amount of times. A few of the songs I really liked some were a bit boring. High 3
Really unique rock album with all different types of styles that I enjoyed. I am not going to do any research but it seems like every song was like 6+ minutes long which I know is a turnoff for some people but I like it.
Everybody's Weird and Ideal Crash were fun. Overall nice enjoyable album
Crumbling Castle and Fourth Color are the 2 songs that got me hooked on Gizz after Dan and I were driving home from Wisp and heard Cyboogie come on Sirius XM, so we instantly went back to College Park basement and turned on the KEXP to find out more about what these guys were about. Since then it has been quite a ride in my life with Gizz.
Ranked this as my 8th favorite album by them when we did our rankings.
Loyality is a top song for me by them it is jsut so awesome.
Easy easy 5
Such a nice soothing album to listen to while I wanted to seriously punch a PM at work right square in his big fat face. Thanks Jack for calming me down.
I always forget how many absolute hits of his are on this album. Could listen to this album in any situation.
Not a typical 5 by me, but it is just such a dang chill and good album.
Living Colour is such a unique sounding band. They are like glam rock and grunge put together. Not really sure how much I enjoy all of it but there are parts that were really cool.
Really interesting album with a whole bunch of different genres throughout the whole thing. Really clean production as well it was high quality. Got a bit lost at some points during it but still enjoyable
What a beautifully spooky album with all of the different instruments, especially the strings playing really low tones. Felt like I was in a crazy dream for most of this. Really flew by because I never really knew what was going on but was a great experience.
Paramore is awesome I am glad I finally listened to a full album by them. Just the perfect level of everything when it comes to what I want to hear from pop-punk. I didn't know a single song on this album but was jamming out hard. Kind of wish they didn't end on two slow songs but still very good
Interesting album there it sounded like a more disjointed King Crimson. Parts that I liked and parts that I didn't.
Some A+ song names on this album though: Halluzination Guillotine, Flesh-Coloured Anti-Aircraft Alarm, Eye Shaking King are my favorite
This is the type of music that AI is going to cause mass layoffs of. Perfect music to play in a mall food court.
What a sweet album that had so much going on in a great way. Definitely zoned out of it at many times because of the length and the nature of the album with the fact that it all blended together. But a really awesome album that I am glad someone chose.
Well can't lie that certainly was catchy as hell.
Not even in the same stratosphere of music that I would choose to listen to but god damn I was bumping during this whole album. 365 did sound like a song that would be played on Nathan so that ruled.
Excited to listen to this because I never have fully. Feel Good Inc is one of the most fun songs to sing along to and bounce around. Didn't realize about the song DARE being Gorillaz I have heard it many many time.
Such an incredible solid album all around that had some mixes of everything in it.
The price is wrong bitch.
That was a whole lot of screaming that started to hurt my head by the end of it. I liked it for a bit but got really old towards the end so probably a high 2
Very strange song structure it was almost like poetry with some quiet backing beats. Was really interesting to listen to once but don't think that any of these song would ever come close to me listening individually. Probably a 3 for enjoyment but ill go really low 4 for the originality.
It can definitely be tough to listen to 90 minutes of TOOL which is why I waited to listen to it until I knew I was going to be in a great spot for it. And cooking hot honey hallomi bowls after smoking a little bit of weed and drinking an ice cold beer right before round 1 of the NFL draft was the right spot.
I've listened to this album probably 3-4 times before right when it came out so I already knew it was going to be a 5 going into it. This was actually in my consideration for the album I was going to add, so glad someone beat me to it.
Pneuma is a top 5 song for me, it is just perfectly built up and then unleashes one of the sickest guitar riffs on you. Having Invincible follow it which is also an epic song makes for 24 minutes of the best that TOOL has to offer.
Can't wait to snowboard again and sync up to blasting Pneuma in our headphones with Kev at Wisp.
One of those albums that i really enjoyed but can't really remember it at all. Exactly what I needed to listen to at the moment and opted for this over Fear Innoculum for now.
Big fan of the 1994ish F1 car on the album cover. Not a big fan of the music that was produced from the album itself.
Music was pretty good but I could not really get over the singer. Would you like some cheese with that whine, my goodness. The last song SUCKED
This album cover looks like a graphic that would be on the top of a snowboard.
That was pretty strange it was like a heavy rocking meatloaf. I looked back at the album that we had on the original list and I liked it a good bit but this one didn't do the same for me
Bottom 3 genre of music for me with the grungy whining and general "we don't really give a fuck" vibe
This sounds like an exact album that the original writer of the list would include in his list. Kind of sleepy grungy noise rock. It had its moments but went on for way to long and the whole album kind of just sounded the same the whole time. Still was alright but probably a mid 3
Knew more songs on this album than I thought. I once heard someone call this type of music Clap, Stomp, Hey and that makes me laugh every time I think of it.
This was a really pleasant album especially the song Gale Song. Was a nice album to listen to on a rainy day
So much TOOL in so little time for us I think that is 3 albums in 2 weeks. Not complaining just an observation.
Love that it starts off with just an absolute slammer of a song Vicarious. I think that was the first TOOL song I clearly remember.
Listened a couple of days ago so I can't remember everything I had in my mind, but just like all of the others I can certainly see this being not for everyone with the length and intensity of the album. But I was jamming the whole time. Just get so blown away from the progressivness (maybe a word) and Danny Carey's drumming is so unreal.
Not quite a 5 but pretty damn close
Really nice flow from MF Doom as normal. Had some funny songs thrown in as well which is always a plus on albums like this especially the one where it spelled out marijuana.
Just a solid all around hip-hop album with good beats and easy flow.
At first I thought this was just going to be another standard new wave album, but it ended up being really quite fun and a good enjoyable listen. Probably will be memory holed in about a day but was good for the time. Very low 4 but was better than a 3
I must have listened to this album back in my hair-metal phase in middle school because I knew almost all of these songs.
Was a little skeptical going into this but I forgot how hard it rocks. Just kind of no nonsense rock that doesn't care how good the singing or songwriting is, just needs hardcore ass guitar riffs and loud drums. That recipe just works really well sometimes.
His page on Spotify makes him look like Jim Carrey's character in Dumb and Dumber. Also Gerry Cinnamon is a great name.
The song Sometimes to start it off was absolutely excellent. I didn't realize he was Scottish until about the third song when his accent really came out.
This was all around really enjoyable with some great acoustic guitar work. Had some boring parts but was mostly good. So for that its a lower 4
Quite a meh album that didn't really have much going on with it the whole time. Low 3
Started out not very good but some upbeat pop-country. Then made me incredibly sleepy for the last 5 or 6 songs.
Highlight was Joe Diffie, hope he's wearing his John Deere green up in heaven
What in the absolute sweet fuck is this album? I have no idea what to think of it because it could be a 1 at some points and a 4 at others and everything in between. I wish I could give this a ??/5
The 69 song certainly didn't help with it being any less of a weird ass album.
I think in personal enjoyment this was a 2 but I have to respect how off the wall it was so i am going to give it a 3.
Very interesting mashup of incomplete songs. Not really my ideal way of listening to an album but this was pretty decent hearing all of the samples. Had some pretty cool beats and other synth noises on it as well.
Absolutely love this album and have listened to it many many times. The first 1-4 song stretch is some of the best that War on Drugs have to offer. Strangest Thing is a top song in my library.
The second half of the album does not hold as strong as the first half, but that is quite frankly impossible. Such a great album front to back.
What an absolutely great way to kick off a Friday morning! Such a fun boppy short album that did exactly what I wanted it to. Easy 4 stars.
I always get The Shins mixed up with The Smiths but they are wildly different.
Very solid all around indie album. Had a couple of really great songs on here, Phantom Limb and Turn On Me really stuck out.
Indie albums like this to me can be very hit or miss. But this one was veyr much hit. Good job, The Shins!
That was confusing as hell I never had an idea of what kind of song was going to come next. For the most part this was filled with incredible bops, but then would be followed by a weirder slow song. The ending song was strange. But there were a lot of very fun songs in here. SO with that this is a low 4
WHY IS EVERY SONG TITLE IN CAPTIAL LETTERS ON SPOTIFY??
THIS ALBUM WAS PRETTY GOOD BUT OVERALL I CAN'T REALLY REMEMBER A SINGLE THING THAT HAPPENED IN IT
A great album for people who enjoy their singer to just be talking the whole time. Unfortunately that is not for me. Had some decent instruments but overall a low 3
Yeah no thanks to this. Gave it a listen for about 8 songs and had to end. Should have left this music in 2005
The singer was certainly shocking when he first started but actually grew on me as the album went, mainly because it wasn't the focal point of this album. The progressive metal shoegaze instrumental were very awesome through the whole thing.
I have realized that I really like this genre with that ISIS album coming up for us a couple months ago. Don't think I would ever turn this on at any point but I am happy to listen when it comes up on this list.
To quote Kevin to piss Angus off "Not another fucking The Who album on this list"
One thing I took away from this album is that Keith Moon absolutely loves smashing the shit out of his drums pretty much the whole time.
Was very interesting that it kept edging the Love Reign O'er Me strings and lyrics in samples throughout the whole album before finally climaxing all O'er the place at the very end.
Was an incredibly good listen and one of those albums that practically every song transitioned into the next seamlessly which gratefully causes an 80 minute album to fly by in a great way.
I have never heard of this fella and I was looking through his wiki to see if he was in any bands that I knew, because my goodness this scratched my prog rock itch so good my leg started twitching like a dog.
So much of this sounded like Umphreys which absolutely rules. Great change up of genres between songs and even mid song. And have to love the use of synths and electronics on albums like these.
Going to have to dive more into Steve.
Nice soothing music that just kind of came and went. Pretty much right down the middle 3
60 monthly Spotify listeners this has to be whoever submitted this cousin or something.
Really did not need to have a child sounding girl whisper into my ear for 45 minutes. The guitar was alright so I was thinking of giving this a 2 but I honestly couldn't finish it because of the cringy singing. So for that I have to go 1
In terms of singer/songwriter Bobby S is the cream of the crop for me. His powerful singing voice and bluesy rock sounds are just great every time I listen.
Have never listened to this whole album before and my takeaways are the 5 songs that I already knew are awesome and the ones that I didn't will be forgotten.
This album cover looks like a Slay the Spire card that Defect would be able to play (only Jackson will get that).
Gotta love a good art-pop album. When they hit they REALLY HIT. So many unique electronic beats and noises in this from the very beginning that kept me so engaged the whole time. Never had any idea what to expect from the next song coming up. And the singers ghostly voice goes absolutely perfect with the instrumentals.
This was the exact type of album I would hope to find on this list so great job to whoever added this! There is now a brand new fan of this band.
To the Blade, No Reptiles, and Warm Healer were my favorites that I can think of but honestly every song was so good.
This was very King Crimsoney sounding for sure but was not up to the standard that I was hoping with some of their other albums. Still a great listen though and a mid 4. But then Starless came up and was an absolute heater once the jazz part came in about halfway. As a song itself it was a 5.
Still not enough to push this to a 5 but easily got it to a high 4
Meh way too folky and mumbly for my liking.
Really hated the 3 minute or so break in the last song.
A nice fun album! Kind of sounded like Billy Joel at times. Low 4 but still quite enjoyable and unique
I know I say this about pretty much every folk album but it was just too folky for my liking for 95% of it. There was one song that came in with some heavy drums though and that one was pretty cool. Low 3
Has some well known jams on here and other than that was just a pretty nice listen. Not something I would come back to but it was good. Probably a high 3
Here's this Steven Wilson fella again but this time with his band that Brandon and Kevin wrote about in their review. Good timing.
Always love some progressive heavy rock so this is going to go very well for me I can imagine.
Arriving Somewhere But Not Here was awesome. The rest of the album was also quite cool, but a bit long and song songs just didn't quite hit. Sitll a high 4
This sounds like a Meatloaf album. I have never seen Rocky Horror Picture show so I have no reference of these songs at all.
Pretty fun but really strange at the same time. An interesting choice for someone's added album but I respect the out of left field approach.
