Algorithmic creativity, smoothly blending electronic beats with synthesised melodies to create a harmonious sonic experience.
BEEP!

Django Django
5/5
"Django Django" was one of the bands I meant to listen to for a long, long time. So when 1001albumsgenerator revealed the album to me, I couldn't wait any longer. I wasn't disappointed!
Now let's click the repeat button and play "Default" nonstop. ;)

N.E.R.D
2/5
"Don't judge a book by its cover" was my first thought after listening to the first song. The cover, after all, is horrible. Based on it, I was expecting a 1/5 album. I appreciated the first song and that's it - unfortunately, the longer I was listening the worse it got.
Don't give me hope and then take it violently!

Björk
4/5
My mind is confused about whether to love or hate her. The album's chaotic and appealing at the same time. It's entirely unique, it's hard to think of any other so distinctive debuts.

Bob Dylan
3/5
No, no. Just no. The harmonica just isn't for me.
Except for it, the album was fine it easily blended into the background. So easily that, to be fair, I could quickly forget that I listened to this album.
Peter Gabriel
4/5
I should get to know Peter Gabriel's work better.
This album was really good. It won't surprise anyone that I liked Solsbury Hill the most and Here Comes the Flood takes the second spot.
I really appreciate the diversity of this album.
Kacey Musgraves
2/5
...yawn
so boring.
Is it really an album I had to hear before I die?
Creedence Clearwater Revival
5/5
Yesterday I'd give it a strong 4 out of 5, yet today it's 5/5. Maybe it's my good mood, idk. Anyway!
I had a great time listening to this album. Even the harmonica couldn't take away my pleasure.
Doves
4/5
I liked it. Nice to have it in the background.
Neil Young
3/5
Similar to Bob Dylan's Blonde on Blonde - I could easily forget that I listened to this album. It's fine in the background, nothing special.
Ministry
2/5
Elvis Presley
4/5
I think I should get to know Elvis's music better.
It's nice to listen to, unfortunately easily gets repetitive. I love his voice and charisma.
The Rolling Stones
5/5
"Going Home" made me love the album. I can hear how the musicians feel the pleasure of playing the song.
It's interesting to read about the history of the Aftermath. I didn't know that there were such big differences between UK and US markets.
Little Richard
5/5
What's there to say? It's a really good album.
The Clash
5/5
It's one of the albums I had saved on my telephone back then when Spotify didn't yet exist.
"Okay, boomer!" - somebody yelled in the distance.
Anyway, I could listen to it on repeat. One of my favourite albums ever. Maybe not top 10, but definitely top 100. That makes me think... What's my top 10?
Basement Jaxx
4/5
How do I rate an album which makes me think: "Hmmm, interesting"? I guess it's a 3.6/5
The music isn't very memorable, for sure the cover is.
Favourite songs: Rendez-vu and Red Alert
D'Angelo
4/5
I liked it. Nice music to chill to, to have in the background. Great rhythm
Neneh Cherry
2/5
Mixed feelings "eh, it's not that bad" with "when will it end??". Nothing changed in my life after hearing this album
R.E.M.
5/5
Psst. Hey, you! Yes, you! Let me tell you a secret. Please don't tell anyone. Even though I consider myself a big rock fan, until today I haven't listened to any R.E.M. album yet. I know their songs mainly because of various radio stations.
Alright. What about the "Document" album? I liked it. I appreciated that it felt homogeneous, and created a whole. 4.5/5
Creedence Clearwater Revival
4/5
I feel as if it's a random compilation of songs not an album on which the order is important. Huuuge disadvantage.
Altogether I liked the songs. 3.5/5
Laura Nyro
2/5
Ugh, no. She's constantly howling. I could only listen to it because of background music.
XTC
4/5
Reaaaaally good! 4+
Justice
5/5
I think this album was my second step of my relationship with electronic music (the first one being Daft Punk). Justice with their kind-of-chaotic music opened a door to a whole new world to me.
The thing I appreciate the most about Cross album is the feeling of unity of the whole album, I love it.
Frank Sinatra
4/5
It was tough to decide how to rate this album because of how much it sticks out from the rest of the albums I listened to.
Alright, let's try it. In my opinion, Frank Sinatra's work is an excellent representation of his decade - both his music and the text (sometimes with sexist remarks). I appreciated the general vibe of this album, even though sometimes it reminded me of old Christmas songs. Weird, I know. :')
Beastie Boys
1/5
Thank you, next.
Solange
5/5
She has a beautiful and powerful voice, it was a pleasure to listen.
All of the songs were creating a strong, unite whole. In my opinion it's much better to listen with headphones on.
Nirvana
5/5
I may have heard it a million times. Who would have counted it? Nevermind...
William Orbit
3/5
The album has its moments. "Water from a vine leaf" is amazing, "The story of the light" 5/5. Unfortunately... the album quickly gets boring.
Michael Jackson
4/5
I get it - he's the King of Pop. And I must admit, his artwork is thrilling (lol), but after all these years he has become quite dull to me.
What is more, the album feels more like a compilation than an album. Just a mix of different sounds, and yeah, deal with it.
Bruce Springsteen
2/5
I'm glad this is over. Nebraska was such a boring album.
I don't like his vocals, I hate the harmonica. Yawn.
I gave it +1 point for the "Open All Night" track and for being consistent.
Travis
2/5
Take a pinch of Radiohead, add a bit of Coldplay, mix with Oasis. Then why, oh why am I SO BORED?
The Flaming Lips
2/5
I assume his mom didn't tell him to stop singing
Kanye West
3/5
Okay, I guess. Nothing special, nothing bad either. Not my vibes.
The B-52's
5/5
Rock Lobster is one of my favourite songs.
Great energy and creativity.
Sigur Rós
4/5
This is one of the albums you should listen to with your headphones on or with the best speakers. I highly recommend listening while the sun is setting or during the night.
The album is really good, it has some magic in it, but I couldn't yet fall in love with it.
I wonder why it's categorised as a rock album.
Django Django
5/5
"Django Django" was one of the bands I meant to listen to for a long, long time. So when 1001albumsgenerator revealed the album to me, I couldn't wait any longer. I wasn't disappointed!
Now let's click the repeat button and play "Default" nonstop. ;)
The Police
2/5
I'm shocked that this album is so... unpleasant? I expected something different. Sometimes Sting sings out of tune, ugh. The rest of the music is good. Only 2 songs were good, the rest were so-so.
k.d. lang
3/5
Beach House
2/5
Dream pop should be dreamy, not boring.
Bob Dylan
2/5
I'm tired of the album
The Modern Lovers
2/5
It has its moments, but it's definitely too long. I got tireeeed.
I don't like the vocals.
Brian Eno
2/5
Being innovative, unfortunately, often means that you won't be a master of a particular skill - voice sampling in this particular case. The album seemed dull.
To name at least one advantage: I like that cover.
Pavement
1/5
Remember that day your mom told you to stop singing? Yeah, well. Then why did you release an album?!
Pink Floyd
5/5
I need to listen to the album with my headphones on and without any distractions.
It's a masterpiece.
Rod Stewart
3/5
Having a broader grading scale available here on 1001 albums would be nice. "Gasoline Alley" by Rod Stewart is better than 3, but not good enough for a 4. Oh no, the first world problems. I'm sorry Rod, you're getting a 1-star rating.
His voice is intriguing. As if he had a great party yesterday and now he's singing with a huge hangover.
The Smashing Pumpkins
4/5
Tonight, tonight... I'll rate this album tonight. Yes, tonight...
Huge respect to the band for recording a 2-hour album that is not boring. I think their recording session might have been one of the most productive sessions ever made.
Billy Corgan's voice is interesting. It fits those instruments perfectly.
I'd give the album 5 out of 5 if it was shorter.
The Who
4/5
At first, I was disappointed. Truly disappointed. Maybe my expectations were too high. They were based on a couple of songs I knew, and this album seemed um... nothing special. The only song I truly liked was (obviously) Pinball Wizard. Everything changed when the fire nation attacked.
No, wait. That's not what happened.
This album was a massive surprise after reading its description. Wow, one of the first rock operas? An album that tells one whole story? I'm impressed!
I admit, it's not one of the best albums ever, but pioneers usually aren't perfect.
David Bowie
3/5
I don't buy into the hype, and I don't feel what's so special about this album. Bowie's voice sometimes feels like howling.
Okay. It's interesting to observe a creation of a person influenced by drugs.
Funkadelic
4/5
Great energy and an incredible "Maggot Brain" song. 4.5/5
Derek & The Dominos
4/5
I like it, it's lovely. The album forms a whole, and the songs fit each other. Well, except for "Layla". Don't get me wrong, the song is brilliant! It's just that it sounds out of context.
Paul Simon
4/5
Music pleasant to listen to, easily blends into the background. The biggest flaw - as soon as I finish I forget the content. 3.5/5
The Rolling Stones
5/5
It's been more than 50 years, and tracks such as "Gimme Shelter" still rock! Wow.
Let's switch "Country Honk" to "Honky Tonk Women" - it's much better.
Frank Ocean
4/5
The more I listen to it, the better it gets. At first it was a 3/5, but now it's a 4. "Sweet Life" is my favourite
Norah Jones
4/5
a nice album to chill to. beautiful voice.
Although is it really an album I have to hear before I die? It's not memorable.
btw, I love a review I saw today "I appear to have wandered into a Starbucks."
Judas Priest
5/5
Today I decided to return to 1001 albums after a week-long pause. *click* "did not listen", and the next album showed up.
Judas Priest - British Steel? No way! I listened to it last Wednesday - it must be destiny or a sign.
What do I think about the album? I can appreciate a good album if I hear one and for sure it's an album we must hear before we die! Its history and influence on other artists speak for itself.
The best tracks: Breaking the Law (obviously), Living After Midnight, United.
I've to admit I can't stand looking at the cover.
Lambchop
2/5
Boring. Forgettable. Squawking at the end.
Thank you, next.
Gary Numan
4/5
So this is what space music sounds like! Woah!
The Mamas & The Papas
3/5
I can listen to it in the background while working or cooking. However, it's nothing special.
Earth, Wind & Fire
5/5
Thank you 1001 albums for a new discovery!
Earth, Wind and Fire, it's been a pleasure to listen to your music.
Belle & Sebastian
3/5
I keep thinking what would be the best mood to listen to this album. Laying on the grass with a glass of your favourite drink?
The album has some good tracks, my personal best is The Stars of Track & Field.
I can't rate it as 4/5 because I don't like the manner with which he's singing.
Lenny Kravitz
4/5
Peter Gabriel
4/5
3.5/5
This album is inconsistent. It has some amazing hits - "Sledgehammer" & "Big Time" are great. And some songs make me think "How did it get in here???".
After all it deserves a 4 out of 5
Johnny Cash
3/5
Stunning voice. I would appreciate this album the most after a breakup or while drunk.
Unfortunately, I don't fully value an album which mainly consists of covers. After all: mixed feelings...
Yeah Yeah Yeahs
4/5
Great vocals and amazing energy, but nothing more. However, isn't that what punk's about?
(art punk & dance-punk, according to Wikipedia)
Elvis Presley
3/5
I'd give it 5/5 if it only had Suspicious Minds. However, I should rate the whole album and there's nothing exciting about it
Björk
4/5
I can feel a spark of magic in this album. It reminds me of The Snow Queen. Lol, I've just realised that Bjork is from Iceland. Coincidence? I don't think so.
I have a love-hate relationship with Vespertine. There is a lot of beauty in the album, but also there are some tracks which should be skipped.
The Cure
5/5
The perfect album when it's grey outside and you don't feel like doing stuff.
I appreciate its consistency and how hypnotic it is.
Big Brother & The Holding Company
5/5
Oh yesss, psychedelic rock. My favourite
And that voice!
The Divine Comedy
2/5
Boring. I even liked the beginning, but the further I go the worse it gets.
Thank you, next.
GZA
2/5
Shadowboxin' and B.I.B.L.E. are interesting, the rest of the album is quite bland, repetitive. I don't really feel the vibe
The Clash
5/5
Amazing debut! Great energy. Much, much, much better while listening on headphones.
I'd love to see them live. I'm shocked at how many of my favourite songs are on this album.
Moby
4/5
I love Moby
His performance in 2022 in Katowice (Fest Festival) was one of the best concerts I've ever been to
I love his songs
But damn, this album is more like a medley or a compilation. The songs haven't got any connection between them whatsoever.
I'm here to rate albums, not individual songs
Supergrass
4/5
I've heard "Alright" before, it stands out from the rest of the songs. Even though it's a one-hit wonder album, I liked it. Great energy
Lauryn Hill
3/5
Some of the songs are cool. Yet, parts of the album, are almost invisible, playing in the background, one after the other.
I like the singer's voice when she's singing, but not so much when rapping. Talking between songs is a huge minus. I think I might be allergic to all those "yo" and "aha aha".
Doo Wop 5/5
Lost ones 4/5
Overall: mixed feelings
Prince
2/5
not my vibe. it bored me
"Let's pretend we're married" and the beginning of "D.M.S.R." are good
Black Sabbath
5/5
if I don't rate it a 5/5, Ozzy Osbourne will hunt me in my sleep.
am I being paranoid?
N.E.R.D
2/5
"Don't judge a book by its cover" was my first thought after listening to the first song. The cover, after all, is horrible. Based on it, I was expecting a 1/5 album. I appreciated the first song and that's it - unfortunately, the longer I was listening the worse it got.
Don't give me hope and then take it violently!
Silver Jews
2/5
take a handful of boredom, add a pinch of an ugly male voice, and some sad guitar in the background - that's the recipe for the album.
The Last Shadow Puppets
5/5
I'm glad I got this album - it's great.
It's a 9 out of 10, so a strong '4' or a weak '5'.
The Afghan Whigs
3/5
I could feel the author's hatred, pain and disgust while listening. Probably that's why I wanted this to end so badly. All around me were negative feelings...
I'm giving it 3 out of 5 because the artist can convey feelings through their art, however, their art style isn't unique, and I don't appreciate the vocals.
Christina Aguilera
4/5
The 00s was a crazy decade. Sex was omnipresent in pop music. Here in "Stripped", sexuality is also clearly visible, yet, the album raises topics such as self-respect and feminism. Respect to Christina!
Incredible energy, beautiful voice, wow
Bruce Springsteen
3/5
Boring, noting special, noting bad either
Janelle Monáe
5/5
The beginning of the album is excellent. I love:
Dance or Die and Faster. Wondaland is also great.
The album is innovative, diverse, and memorable. Wow
Joni Mitchell
3/5
Pleasant voice, nice for lazy afternoons. Unfortunately not really my vibe.
Spacemen 3
1/5
The album is the definition of boredom.
Pulp
2/5
Nah. Not for me. The vocals are annoying, the music is boring. I wanted to finish the album as soon as possible and it shouldn't be on the list.
The Go-Go's
4/5
Easy to listen to, I liked it. Favourite track: This town
Serge Gainsbourg
3/5
Pros: Nice background music. Pleasant voice.
Cons: Recitation instead of singing. Disgusting plot: "This album is about a man hitting a 15ish year old girl on her bike with his Rolls Royce, who he then promptly falls in love with and seduces."
It gets a 3 out of 5 thanks to good instrumentals.
De La Soul
3/5
That's a mix of 4-score songs in the beginning with some 2's and 1's in the end.
That's why "Three that's the magic number"
Eminem
2/5
I could give one song a 5 out of 5, yet the album altogether... meh. Too long, too repetitive. His flow is impressive, but it's not really my vibe.
The Doors
5/5
"If they say I never loved you
You know they are a liar"
Beastie Boys
2/5
Exhausting.
However, I appreciate the variety this album offers - for example there are some funk samples. Also "Bodhisattva Vow" is quite surprising
Rufus Wainwright
4/5
Once Rufus sang "Still, I think I'm doing fine". Yes, he's doing fine, the album is nice. The first part is much better than the end, the album could be shorter. It was a pleasure to hear, I think I'll forget about it quickly. 3.5/5
The Icarus Line
2/5
Listening to it is - quote - "That's the last thing I want to do"
I seriously don't need to hear it before I die. There're tons of bands like this.
Stan Getz
5/5
Beautiful music
OutKast
2/5
Boring
The Waterboys
2/5
I think I've tried to rate it 5 times already. I start this album and I easily forget about it.
It's not that it's bad... It's just soooo repetitive & boring.
The Dave Brubeck Quartet
5/5
Just the day before that album appeared on 1001 albums, I decided to listen to an album just because of one song that was on my favourites list for a long, long time. That song's name is "Take Five", and the album's "Time Out". And suddenly, the next day the album shows up in here!
I've always thought stories like this happen only in fiction novels.
Garbage
4/5
There's something special about this album. At first, I thought it was just a 2-hit wonder. "Stupid Girl" and "Only Happy When It Rains" seem different to me - or it's just the fact that I've heard it a thousand times. The rest of the album has some kind of boredom in it. Or rather "whatever" in her voice. They perform as if they don't care. That's unusual.
The Jam
3/5
Average. Indifferent. As if The Clash played without energy.
James Brown
2/5
It automatically gets a lower rating because of the background noises. It's tiring...
The Birthday Party
4/5
Chaos. There's something fascinating about it.
Amy Winehouse
5/5
Why not "Back to Black"?
Still, beautiful voice, great album.
The Smiths
4/5
An interesting new discovery. Pleasant sounds with not-so-nice lyrics. The longer I listen to it, the more attractive it becomes.
Morrissey
4/5
I liked the first half of the album, the second part gets boring. It's a strong 3 or a weak 4.
I think there's some magic in his voice. 3.5/5
Jefferson Airplane
4/5
I feel how this album influenced the music industry. At first, I thought this album was younger. 1970-ish? Thank you Jefferson Airplane for influencing psychedelic rock!
Somebody to Love & White Rabbit 5/5
Personal enjoyment: 4/5
The Electric Prunes
3/5
It's one of those albums that plays in the background and you quickly forget about its existence. Except for one song - "I Had Too Much To Dream Last Night"
Minutemen
2/5
vocals: 1/5
instrumentals: 4/5
I liked the jazz influence. I'd appreciate the album much, much more if it had only instrumentals.
Alanis Morissette
5/5
This album gets better and better every time I listen to it. I'm surprised that I appreciated the most not the song I already knew - and usually I do! Amazing vocals! Wow, good job Alanis!
Santana
5/5
Simply beautiful
Björk
4/5
My mind is confused about whether to love or hate her. The album's chaotic and appealing at the same time. It's entirely unique, it's hard to think of any other so distinctive debuts.
Kings of Leon
4/5
I like it, although I prefer "Only By The Night" album.
Stereo MC's
3/5
It's fine I guess. The beats are good - that's it.
Green Day
5/5
It's been many years since I fell in love with Dookie. After all those years it still easily evokes strong emotions in me. 5/5
Kendrick Lamar
1/5
yawn. when will it end? It's not my vibe.
Minus 1 point because of the lyrics
Penguin Cafe Orchestra
2/5
1. Creating a new apartment in the Sims
2. Just some random *twang twang twang*
3. My head hurts
4. Sudden teleportation to a classical music concert
5. Is that a museum of contemporary art in Dusseldorf? Someone left the kettle on at the end!
6. Why is it in here?
7 & 9. Those are actually nice!
8. Aliens are visiting or dialing a number on an old phone.
10. Looped sample.
11. And once again we're playing the Sims.
Overall - I'm confused.
That's not pop music!!!
The Notorious B.I.G.
1/5
There was 1 - ONE - song I liked. The rest was tiring, boring, monotonous. Rap isn't for me.
The Sabres Of Paradise
2/5
Sometimes it sounds like I'm at a construction site. The title reminds me of The Crypt of the Necrodancer, and unfortunately, it's far, far from it. Summarised in 3 words: boring, random, pointless. I was glad when it was over.
Rage Against The Machine
4/5
Why is there so much rage? What did the poor machine do?
Led Zeppelin
5/5
a masterpiece. especially considering that this album is a debut!
Bee Gees
2/5
When I see "Bee Gees" I don't want to hear such wailing. Please stop. It's boring.
The Chemical Brothers
4/5
Significantly better on headphones, best listened to in the middle of the night
Michael Jackson
4/5
First half 5/5, I could play it on repeat.
The other? Meh.
Metallica
4/5
Bruce Springsteen
3/5
One of the most boring voices mixed with good instrumentals.
The Offspring
4/5
Great energy
Beatles
5/5
It can be seen, heard and felt that they were innovators. Always a pleasure to listen to some psychodelic rock
Happy Mondays
3/5
I easily forget that this album is playing. It might not exist and the world would remain the same.
Simon & Garfunkel
4/5
First impression: "Boring. I don't get the hype." Yet, it got much better when listening on the headphones.
ABBA
5/5
I love that global reviews range from "utter garbage" to "it's the best thing that happened to music" :D
5 stars for being able to stand the test of time so perfectly.
Frank Sinatra
2/5
Maybe it's one of those albums I should listen to before I die, but honestly, it's boring...
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
3/5
3.5/5 he's just not my type...
Dr. Dre
3/5
That's the first time I've appreciated a part of a rap album. What a change! "Nuthin' But A "G" Thang" has a nice vibe.
The whole album is too long tho. And come on... those lyrics? Nah
3.5/5
Willie Nelson
2/5
No, no, take this genre away from me. I can listen to country music only when I'm driving through USA or while playing Red Dead Redemption.
I appreciate the story in the album, unfortunately, I can't stand his voice. Compared
Fiona Apple
4/5
I'd like to cut the album in half and rate it separately.
The first part is amazing, but the second is eh.
What's the best thing about the album? Those eyes!
Bob Dylan
2/5
I hate harmonica.
MGMT
2/5
Now that's a love-hate relationship. A mix of songs that give me goosebumps with some that I can't stand. Yet, I'm here to rate albums, not individual songs. It would get a solid 5 if it consisted only of Time to Pretend, Electric Feel and Kids. Now with the rest, it's shit.
Soft Cell
4/5
This one is weird. Appealingly bizarre. It's growing on me the longer I listen to it.
The Doors
5/5
One of my favourites
Sex Pistols
4/5
How come they had only one album?!
What an amazing energy.
Kings of Leon
5/5
My personal guilty pleasure.
Beatles
5/5
This week I fell in love with the Beatles. It could play on and on and on. Yes... Don't stop.
Throbbing Gristle
1/5
Am I in a modern art gallery? For sure?
Is my computer broken? No?
Then what's wrong?
Nirvana
4/5
Oh, shoot! I can't wait for their next album!
Beatles
4/5
Too monotonous.
Elvis Costello & The Attractions
2/5
The album would be much better without his voice. ugh. Maybe he's just not my type.
Blondie
4/5
I liked it. Good energy, nice vocals. You go girl!
Queens of the Stone Age
3/5
I can feel anger in the instruments, and boredom in the voice. How unusual. Yet, the whole album is too monotonous, repetitive.
Scott Walker
3/5
Ryan Adams
2/5
That's the definition of boring.
The Beach Boys
3/5
I have mixed feelings about this album. Some of the tracks are terrible, I just have to skip them. And then there's "Wouldn't it be Nice" which is great.
My enjoyment: 2/5
Did it belong on this list: 5/5
Yes
5/5
Fela Kuti
5/5
Radiohead
2/5
I hate his voice
Steely Dan
4/5
Pleasant, but I don't get why it is on this list. It's nice to hear and that's it.
Sarah Vaughan
4/5
Beautiful voice. I needed to be in the mood for this album. It's good to study or to relax to. I'd love to hear it live.
The Incredible String Band
4/5
It's intriguing. The album can be loved and hated at the same time. It got better with time, although you shouldn't listen to it on replay.
Radiohead
4/5
I need to feel in a mood to appreciate the album fully. It helps when there's heavy rain outside and I'm in with a cup of tea.
I love that the album creates a beautiful unified whole. Sometimes they moan.
Aerosmith
4/5
A good album with a great start.
Eagles
3/5
The album is pretty but bland. This album lacks a unified character. It is more like a compilation of different artists. If the rest were as good as "Hotel California", it would get a 5/5.
Elton John
5/5
I needed time to appreciate Elton John's work
Parliament
5/5
I just can keep on listenin' and keep on listenin' and keep on listenin'...
Common
2/5
I was glad when it was over. The background was nice.
The United States Of America
5/5
The chaos of this album is mesmerizing. The further I go, the better it gets.

I hope my friends won't see this rating because they hate The Police.
The Avalanches
5/5
Masterpiece
Rush
4/5
it's good
Nick Drake
3/5
"Poor Boy" and "Sunday" 4/5. The rest is okay

Amazing album! I could listen to it nonstop.
It's 4.5/5 because it's a bit too repetitive.
FKA twigs
5/5
I can feel magic in this album
John Prine
2/5
He sounds like a duck. It's bad.
Iron Maiden
4/5
Lots of memories linked to this album. Some better, some worse. That's what makes this album special, even though I won't listen to it often.
Steely Dan
4/5
3.5/5 pleasant but hardly memorable
Marty Robbins

Big cup of yee-haw

Go to the wild, wild west and mix every ingredient. Ready!
Fugees
5/5
Wow, I rarely like hip-hop/rap but this is amazing. Lauryn Hill's voice is beautiful. I get goosebumps when I hear "Killing Me Softly".
How did they achieve it? The album is diverse and forms a homogeneous whole at the same time.
The Louvin Brothers
1/5
The title of the album is truly accurate. The songs are tragic.
Ash
2/5
Nothing special
Boston
3/5
Boston, it's not about you, it's about me. I appreciate your influence on the music industry, but sorry, your music is quite repetitive.
Joy Division
5/5
Disturbing. Scary. Gloomy. Depressing.
Unique.
It's beautiful that an album can evoke such feelings. I suggest changing the name of the band to Joy Subtraction.

Nice vocals. Unfortunately I don't think I'll remember the album for long. The album was okay and that's it.
Amy Winehouse
5/5
If not the most beautiful, then one of the 5 most beautiful female vocals.
Harry Nilsson
4/5
A number of positive surprises. "Without You" is beautiful, "Gotta Get Up" has a Beatles vibe. Overall - an interesting diversity
Isaac Hayes
3/5
No, the album shouldn't be on the list. The elevator music of 1971.
Kate Bush
2/5
No...
Cream
4/5
A beautiful start
The Cult
3/5
"AI, please generate a hard rock album." And that's how this album was created.
Nice guitar riffs.
Pere Ubu
1/5
It might be band's goal to dislike the album. Ugh. My head hurts.
Billy Joel
4/5
Black Sabbath
4/5
The album ranges from amazing to average and so back and forth. If I wanted to listen to it every day, I would skip some tracks.
Miriam Makeba
4/5
There's some kind of magic in this album. Mbube track was an interesting surpise.
4+
Jerry Lee Lewis
5/5
Should other people's views affect the reception of their music? Tough question.
This is the rating of the music, not the person.
Yes

It has potential, but gets boring easily. Great instruments, but not my type of voice
Violent Femmes

The album gains a lot when listened to without stress, without distractions, without rush. Just me and the music. Yes please
Neil Young & Crazy Horse
2/5
So tiring
Arcade Fire
4/5
Suicide
1/5
The title speaks for itself.
It feels like an intro to an album, so please tell me - where is the actual album?
Foo Fighters
5/5
Amazing energy
Queen
4/5
Deep inside hear a voice saying "You HAVE TO like this album. It's Queen after all! It's Bohemian Rhapsody!".
The album has it's moments, though it's not my favourite.
Dire Straits
4/5
It has some classics
Hugh Masekela
4/5
It'd be great to hear it live. 4+
David Bowie
2/5

Jorge Ben Jor
5/5
Morrissey
4/5
Sadness.
David Bowie
4/5
I've made some *changes* to my opinion about David Bowie after this album. As you can see, time may change me.
R.E.M.
2/5
Easy to forget. Bland. Sometimes boring.
ZZ Top
4/5
The Stooges
2/5
Noise all around me
Soul II Soul
2/5
That's the first time I'd found soul boring. There's one good thing though, thanks to this album, I've discovered similarities between soul and rap/hip hop.

Anita Baker
2/5
Let me tell you a story about Anita. In a land far, far away, there lived a man who owned a bakery with a young daughter. After she was born, he quickly recognised her beautiful voice and said to her: "You must sing to bring glory to your family!".
"But dad... I want to be an astronaut!"
"No, child. You must do it!"
The whole story is fake, that's only a justification why I feel she didn't love what she was doing.

Arular is intriguing, yet it's exhausting and repetitive
Blood, Sweat & Tears

The end is great

Quantity doesn't mean quality.
Coldplay

Why do so many people in the reviews hate Coldplay?
I might not be a fan, but I definitely appreciate the album.

Is it a mix of random studio recordings?

"Yeah? Show it!"
And that's how it goes

I love their energy, but why do all the songs sound the same?
The Rolling Stones
4/5
The beginning is 5/5. Unfortunately some songs at the end are so-so. I skipped "You gotta move".
Beatles

I wonder how would I look at Beatles, if they were a contemporary band. Would they be perceived as a boysband?
Sinead O'Connor
3/5
In my opinion the album is a one hit wonder.
Dexys Midnight Runners
5/5
"Too Rye Ay" is much better, however, this album still has some great energy. That's a strong 4, or a 5 to-be. I'll give them 5 to motivate them. ;)

Nah. Boring
