The best background music. Does exactly what it says on the packaging
Nothing sounded the same but it did feel like a cohesive piece. Really amazed by it, maybe they weren't all winners but overall 5 stars
I really dislike the smug voice of this ass muppet
Not offensive or necesseraly bad, but just too damn long. Everything starts to sound the same, which is not helped by the fact that the main drum pattern is the basis for drum n bass. Two stars for pioneering a gene
Middle of the road. Especially for Paul Simon. He made way better albums and songs
The mellow parts were nice. Some good songs some not. Sometimes too much noise at once for too long. Not something I would put on unless in a very specific mood.
Some good music in there. Not everything stuck, but overall a good listen. I didnt take in a lot of lyrics which might change my view on subsequent listens.
Ok, but completely forgettable
Some nice atmospheric music in the first part, 2nd part was ok.
3,5 stars. Didnt really listen to punk before but it was alright. Holiday in Cambodia was the only track i knew but also the best.
Some good stuff in there, some parts were just a little bit less to my taste to give it 5 stars.
Fun for one song, gets monotonous real fast.
Never wanting to hear don't you want me, it was a little better than expected
A bit long, so long that it got a bit monotonous. The flow was excellent, the skits a lot less. I can appreciate the quality, but will not listen to the full album again.
Too boring for me. Maybe i neee to give it another listen and find the intricacies.
Hate his voice. Music was sometimes alright
Not as bad as some reviews suggest. But still not very good, stretches the definition of music.
Forgettable
Hate the screeching vocals by one of them. The instrumentals and beats were nixe though. But the vocals make me want to not listen to it again.
Some solid drums going on. But maybe a bit too long and forgettable in the end.
Good stuff
I really don't get the hype. Don't like the vocals from Nico. Lou Reeds vocals also are all over the place. Weird ending to the album.
I prefwr the arctic monkeys
Maggot brain is so good it elevates the rest of the album
Like a cheap version of Boston. Some forgettable stuff, but also some bangers.
Hard one to rate, there were some nice tunes. Nice work music
A bit long, but some very nice songs
Dont care for punk.
Normally i skip revolution 9, but even with it, it remains a good album
Angry white british music
A bit too long, but some very good songs on here.
Way too long to consider it one album. The first disc was more consistent than the 2nd.
Hard to rate. Since english is not my first language the lyrics do not always register as sentences in my brain. There were some good beats and i like the style of rapping 3,5/5
Really non-abrasive. But still sounds original, before they went with the safe cookie cutter pop sound.
Hard to rate. But i enjoyed it overall.
I really dont know what to think of this. There are some good sections and some horrible parts.
Pretty good. Might even be 5 star.
Eazy-E cant rap, but the rest was solid.
The oboe made it sound real theatry in a bad way. Forgettable.
Weird, 3.5 stars.
The slow songs really dragged the score down. The rest were very good.
Boring bland background elevator music.
Really solid classic rock n roll. In the current time it sounds old. In the 50s it would be 5/5
Worde than i expected.
I got really annoyed by the music. I almost wanted to turn it off, but preserved. Bets track was the last instrumental track. God I hate this music style.
Good classic sounding rock. Mostly simple things, but you can hear the start of something more complex forming.
Suprised, didnt know this artist. Solid album.
Good work music. Solid beats.
Instrumentation was solid. Vocals are very different from the other tim buckley album i got. Coincidentally the other was before led zepplins first album and this one after. To me he sounds like he got inspired by robert plant but it just doesnt work for me.
I really dont like rem. But the album was better than i expected.
Solid rock. Apparently clapton is not the best person in real life, but that shouldn't impact this album.
Ok
Good stuff
Didnt like the vocal performance and the instrumentals were dull
Kind of liked it. I dont get the hate.
decent
Forgettable
I like rock and this is perfectly adequate.
Kind of liked it. Very spacey and full of jams. Bit too long
Meh
Good stuff. Interesting and nice drums
Once in a lifetime is a good song, the rest was not as good. Worse than I would have thought.
Generic sitar music
Decent EDM, but nothing special
ok, but forgetable
I would have assumed I would like it, but it was too long and not very inspiring.
2 stars for the two good songs. Other albums i do enjoy from gorillaz, but this wasnt for me
Better than I expected. But aleo too long. I went from liking to dislikong to liking the experience. 3.5 rounded up. Dont think i will ever sitt through the whole album again.
Nice
It was ok. English isn't my first language so not all lyrics register subconsciously when listening to it while working.
Definitely some block rocking beats. Bit on the long side
Solid stuff
Forgot I listened to it the minute the last song ended. Not bad just super forgetable
Dont like david lee roths voice
Better than expected
Actually really liked it
4,5. Good blues
There was some good music in there, but nothing that stands out.
Nice, good songs. Bad outro.
Forgettable and bland
Meh
I really don't like the smugness in bonos voice. The music behind it was ok
Good shit
Man, this is tough to rate. The vocals were very rough at most points, but the longer it went on the more I started to enjoy it. Solid music but held back by the vocals
Not my type of music. I like loud music, I like quiet music .but this loud quiet loud is not for me
I named my dog Ringo, so of course everything from the Beatles is 5 stars. Really like nowhere man, but there are so many good songs to pick from
Half of the songs I know and are bangers. The other I don't know and didn't really stay with me except for Kim. What an emotional song
Good stuff
Not for me. In 2023 it's sounds to generic.
Hard to rate. Was it awesome, no. Was it bad, no. Were there things I liked. Almost all of it because it was so inoffensive. Background music for in the morning. 3,5 stars.
Boring and I hate the way the singer has to manipulate his voice to get the high notes. It really started to frustrate me at the end to the point where I was wishing it was over. Is it worse than duckstab or einsturzende neubauten, not really, but it wasn't more interesting.
It was long and alright. It is famous for the crowds reactions, but they are not in the recording...
The instrumentals were good, but the singing rapping really started to be annoying at the end where I was happy it was over.
I know it's influential. But as a European, the message and lyrics just dont have the impact I see it having on other people
I came so close to turning it off. Angry British ranting over mediocre music. I hate this music style. Do yourself a favour and look up the original tracklist and stop after music scene.
It was good, but not exceptional.
Good stuff, I didn't understand a word but the music was very good.
4.5 stars. Really nice actually
Omg, so bland and too long.
The hits are good, but they did some weird shit in between
Good stuff, maybe a bit long and not as good as rumours. Tusk, the song. Is a banger
Nice proto metal. Something about a lot of the 60s vocals really rubs me the wrong way, this band included.
They can properly sing. But it became quite similar the longer it went on
Good stuff
Meh, some good tracks, some bad. The whole thing sounded disjointed.
It's ok
I believe the hype
I get why it's on the list, but it's just not special in 2023
Some very good stuff in here. Ratamahatta was the biggest surprise and sticks in my head. Canyon jam was too long and unnecessary, for that -1 star.
Don't care for punk but at least the vocals on this were not the typical british shit. 1 star extra for the clearer vocals
It was ok
Not really my thing. I liked the bass driven sound, but something just doesn't work for me. Maybe the disinterested sounding vocals.
I always liked the beatles better. I dont know if it is the vocals by mick jagger or the jangly guitar that turns me off, but I dont like the stones that much. That said, the hits of the album are good.
Coincidentally I got the first Arcade Fire album the day before this one. I liked this one more. It sounded bigger. Cool that they recorded in a church and also the use of the organ.
Its not bad. I get that it was influential, but everything it influenced is better.
Sounds so good
blegh
Good music is your in the right mood. I can imagine it sounded revolutionary in the 90s. A bit long though
The basis is good. But I like the live album more. 3,5 stars
It feels like they don't know what they wanted to make. Indie rock, triphop, hiphop, world music. An incoherent and too long result that drags on.
Good prog stuff
The yes album was better. 3,5 stars
Waterloo sunset is a good song. The rest is forgettable
It's southern rock for 90 minutes. Nothing special in the music. Nothing special in the vocals. Sometimes lyrics that go beyond muh Alabama and skynyrd
Suprised by this one. But dont think ill go back to it
Nice old jazzy music
I just don't like the vocals and the emphasis on the organ. The doors is just a band that I don't get. There was better guitar work in there than I would have assumed
Never heard of this band. Will probably never hear of them again
Doesnt do anything special. Why is it on this list
Really surprised how good this was. A single piano and all improvised.
God, I hate this band. The vocals are so grating. It doesn't matter if they did innovative stuff with sampling when this is the music you make. I hope I don't have to listen to the Beastie boys anymore.
Alright, but not too special
The alive 2007 remixes are miles better. Too repetitive for its own good, but the start of something good
Using a jazz band for rock gave it an interesting sound. Especially the drums are wild. Opinion is significantly influenced by Bowie's death two days later.
Really liked some songs on here. Sometimes Bowie's vocals aren't the easiest on the ears
Alright pop
Something about hearing this much Portuguese just rubbed me the wrong way. Musically it was fine, I got a bit sick of the monkey drum at the end though. The cover also unsettles me, what is up with that hazy photo and the weird eyes
The only good thing was the length
Alright big band jazz
It all sounds the same
Why does it sound like the vocalist is in another room shouting, and the second vocalist is even further away shouting harder. The vocals really started to annoy, the music became quite stale after a while. Some good songs but an overall meh expierence
Blegh
Good songs, heard the foundation for some modern bands in here. But didn't really like the vocals
It felt like listening to a video game car radio. Except video games give credits to the artist. Apparently this guy didn't and just straight up stole all songs and packaged them in a funky hiphop package
Maybe not the best Beatles album but sti find it better than everything else from the period
It was ok. Better than expected, but sometimes too simplistic. Liked that it had the feel of one coherent album.
Didn't expect to know so many songs already. Really brought the rating down with the last song which just sounded like noise. Also not the biggest fan of the other two noisier tracks, but I can understand why this album became so huge
Wanna take a baaAAAATH???
Ok depression music
Alright cheesy background rock
Don't care for the doors, but it was not terrible. Just not for me
I can give it two stars for it being very old and therefore probably influential to other americana folk people. It was too long and why was there yodeling. Not my type of music. 2 stars because the one star reviews are reserved for the real special turds.
Tough to rate. Some good stuff, especially into the mystic. But overall not very memorable
They hit the right kind of manic energy that really drives the music forward. Lyrics are a bit dodgy maybe, but overall a very nice experience
Inoffensive background or bedroom music. Nothing piqued my interest. One star for an album an you should listen to in your life, but compared to some absolute turds on this list I give it two stars
Maybe i wasnt in the right mood for it. But it did not grip me as I would have thought reading the reviews. Might have to revisit
What is there to say that hasn't already been said
Dark and moody but not that memorable
Living in another world is a banger. The rest was also a nice listen.
Such a good album
Quite liked some songs. Dylan's voice keeps being difficult. Not a native speaker so a lot of the intricacies of the writing are lost when listening and working at the same time
Doesn't belong in this list, all sounds the same. One hit wonders
2,5 stars. Never listened to this much reggae before. It was ok
Exactly the kind of indie rock beats I like. Never heard of them before. Vocals can be a bit meh knocking it down to 4 stars
4,5 but not as good as the work of the Beatles. Something was just missing. Overall a very nice experience but I cannot help but compare it to the Beatles and round it down
Feels a bit disjointed. Going from without you to coconut is quite the transition. I was impressed by the drums on jump into the fire prompting me to read up on the drummer. Apparently the guy suffered from schizophrenia and murdered his mother.
What is this. Shitty 80s androgynous music. Nothing worth remembering. 1.5 stars, it did not make me actively hate it, but it came close.
Good first half with some nice tunes. Classics 60s rock. But what the hell was that 2nd half, weird stuff with not even good songs
Could have died without hearing this. Inoffensive Bossa Nova
Some good rock tunes
Classic country. Dolly does have a good voice.
Nothing sounded the same but it did feel like a cohesive piece. Really amazed by it, maybe they weren't all winners but overall 5 stars
Not for me
Not offensive or necesseraly bad, but just too damn long. Everything starts to sound the same, which is not helped by the fact that the main drum pattern is the basis for drum n bass. Two stars for pioneering a gene
The best background music. Does exactly what it says on the packaging
Classic rock. Not blown away, but not bad. The hits from the album deserve to be hits. The rest was more forgettable
Cool and atmospheric. Not as good as mezzanine, but a hell of a lot better than some other albums in this list
Better than other punk and postpunk. But still not my musical style. That long blues song on the end really dragged on and the score down
not as good as I thought it would be. The songs that arent the greatest hits are not played for a reason. What is up with kiss the teacher, ick.
Very nicely captures the spirit of loneliness and depression. Really resonated with me.
2 80s 4 me
More ambient and instrumental music than I expected based on the hit single. Not bad, but it didn't feel like a complete Bowie album.
Not memorable and a bad sign if the autoplay tracks after it left more of an impression
The vocals and lyrics really are the weakest part, it was nice not everything was guitar masturbation. But in the end it all sounded the same. 3 stars for the hits
It doesn't evoke any emotion. It sound s dated. It's just too bland to give it 1 star so 2 it is. Also so edgy and cool to put a hidden track after 3 minutes of silence
Dreamy vocals. Sometimes I wondered if it was English. But it didn't leave a lasting impression. Already forgot I listened to it
It's insane how you can create so much from chopped up parts of songs from bargain bin vinyl. Really good music to work/study with
Not for me
Must have been a bad year for music if this broke records
Why are these weirdos so popular. I needed a palette cleanse after 17 minutes of noise. Best bit of trivia is the engineer left the room during recording of sister ray since he couldn't stand the noise.
Don't have much to say about it. Nice music from a bygone era
Really hard to judge it 60+ years later. It's not bad, just very old.
Why are all these hip hop albums an hour or longer. Really outstayed it's welcome. Eminem's verses were the best and showed a stark contrast in ability
I dig this
Good music, but a bit long and the vocal style takes it down a star.
I really dislike punk, this is better than the stuff from the sex pistols and everything after it, but still not my type of music
Good alt rock
Weird electric poppy high singing music
Ok but to long
Better than I expected. It didn't drag or outstay its welcome
Weird b cuts apparently. Did not deserve to be on the list
Really liked this album, but it just feels a bit generic at some points. Which keeps it from 5 stars
I don't like his singing style for more than 4 songs. It started to really bore me near the end.
Was really dreading this based on the description, but actually liked it a lot better. The driving beats and bass really make this album. You can really hear the beginning of industrial rock starting.
Its just really good and im noticing that I like almost all jazz albums on this list
Ok but not great, nothing besides the singles stood out.
Bad glam rock, it adds nothing except the idea where ac/DC got their sound
Alright
I really dislike the smug voice of this ass muppet
Really not that good. I understand back to Black being on this list, but this album is really a step down
Eh, not the best. Surprising Glynn Johns called this the best album he is associated with seeing how he worked with the stones, Beatles led zeppelin and the who....
Worse than his first album, boring and not for me
Hard to rate. I understand how influential this was, but I didn't particularly enjoy the album as a whole
Very nice
Nah this guy doesn't deserve 4 places on this list
Middle of the road. Especially for Paul Simon. He made way better albums and songs
3 stars for the music, 1 star for belonging on this list. The fuzzy sound was already one before and better by the yardbirds. Don't know why these people would be influential
Better than I expected. Where punk stars to become grunge.
This is the way to play a Hammond organ. I can't help but think of the doors when I heard this album. Except I like this and dislike the doors, especially because of the organ
Not for me
Placed in context probably higher. But it just doesn't hold up, the message is a powerful song though
The beats were good, the lyrics a lot less. Hiphop has come a long way since the chronic and I don't think I will ever listen to this album again.
Really dislike his voice. Instrumentation was ok
This doesn't belong on this list. They have other albums with more hits. At the end of the album is a song called don't give up, which felt like it was taunting me that I was still listening it and couldn't turn it off. Also there is a song with random moaning. Screw this album, never want to hear this again.
I hope they fall
A breath of fresh air after some days with bad albums. Really like the drums in this album. It did feel a bit long but I was never bored.
Good stuff
Didn't like it at all. Too abrasive for me
More like bored of Canada. Inoffensive background music
Good shit
I don't get the hype.
Ya man
Ok musically sometimes. Too long and annoying at the worst times. Why is this on the list? Did anyone get inspired by this, are they influential. I dont know
The singles were dope and deserve 5 stars. The rest was a bit more forgettable
He sounds so far up his own ass that he can sing from his mouth again
Ok, but very middle of the road. Better than boring, worse than good
I really don't understand the Velvet Underground
Middle of the road, there was some interesting arrangemente going on. But the singing ir lyrics didn't grab me
I agree with another review.sounds like the smiths with a little bit less arrogance
Really good stuff. Watch the documentary on Netflix if you want to know more about the stuff Kanye when through to get the album made. Doesn't detract from what he has become now. But this album on its own is good. Only didn't like the 12 minute ending song
Why is this on the list? Not bad not memorable
It's hard to put into words what I like or don't like. I know there was a certain hype around this album so I'm glad I listened to it, but it just didn't resonate with me
It takes real skill to play this. It takes a madman to come up with it. It takes a special person to like it. I can hear some snippets of genius in there, but the overall album is too jarring, I'd rather listen to clowncore.
The big hits make the album, the rest was alright. I dont get the hate.
Background boogie. Nothing stood out.
The best
The only good thing about the album is the length and even then it felt longer than 15 minutes
As a white European, most of it is lost on me. You could hear the anger and the beats were goood, but I wouldn't listen to it again
As the opening notes started the mood was set. The music was played to death to insinuate sex, but I really wonder how this sounded when it was new and without the current direct link to sex. Overall the album was smooth and enjoyable
My disdain for this genre grows with every shitty album I have to listen to from this list.
Acceptable cheesy rock. I found the screaming from Steven Tyler less annoying in this album. I think for an Aerosmith album this was nicely balanced
Nice and dreamy, could listen to this again during a quiet morning
Going from a very nice goldfrapp album the day before to this is a bit jarring. It reads like it's the same genre and everything, but this was way worse than goldfrapp. Would not listen to it again.
The man had energy. Halfway through I felt a bit bored, but it picked up again. I can see why they didn't want to release this to not alienate the white pop audience
The first time an album caught me by surprise with a so g I know but didn't know it was from this artist. There are some good tunes on here, but nothing groundbreaking. There is a lot worse rock on this list so I'll give it a pass.
A way too long compilation album of different artists doesnt deserve to be on this list. The other shit Drum n Bass album is enough
Really not my thing
Really nice chill hip hop. Interesting samples and nice bars. WIll definitly listen again
really not my style of hiphop
Ok
Emotional music. Didn't really give it full attention, but it still grips you.
Solid rock. Started to drag at the end
Not the album with their hits. Still goes hard, but I really don't know if I liked it or not, it went up and down. I think I would have appreciated the other album more
Really good metal album. Aggresive enough, but not too overpowering.
The middle songs were alright. But it all sounded too long and too boring. Why is there a 8 min feedback song....
1 star for somebody to love and 1 star for white rabbit. The rest was annoying hippie folk. Not something I like to listen to. Something about the way the guy sings really rubs me the wrong way.
Middle of the road. Classic rock
I dont know why this man has so many albums on this list. It al sounds the same. Tales about death and misery
Cheesy, but nice. Was really vibing with it.
Elton John said it's good so it must be heard before you die? I don't agree that this is in this list. I forgot most of it the moment the album ended, only the feeling of wanting it to end is remembered.
Nah, annoying voice. Nothing noteworthy
Interesting. I expected more noise being one of the big proto punk albums, but it was a lot better than I expected. It's still grounded in rock and is more melodic than I would have thought. Pleasantly surprised
Alright, but would have expected the first album which has the bigger hit.
Really not so bad compared to other bottom tier albums on this list. Not as noisy as I anticipated, but in the end not very memorable, not even in a bad way. Semi liked the opening track, but after it it all sounded alike after a while
Beep boop, Europe express. Beep boop
God I hate this album cover. Really takes it down one star
I hate the way this guy sings. Don't is just noise, not in a good way. I don't get this
I don't get why the police is such a massive band
Historical impactful. Some of the lesser known songs were nice, but by the end I got really sick of the acoustic guitar, whiny voice, harmonica repeating structure.
Meh
Surprised to see it on this list. Really like the Arctic monkeys and this is a good extension from Alex Turner. It did get weaker near the end. Might listen to the whole album again sometime
God I hate U2, the smug voice of Bono just really rubs me the wrong way. Everything sounds the same. Absolutely forgetabble human turd music.
Why this album... They made way better songs later on. It doesn't deserve to be on this list.
Not as bad as I thought it would be. More instrumental than I assumed. Some songs with statements, but ultimately too long
The songs were nice and sometimes very good. But man, the static crackling and talking/skits really drag down the quality.
Good stuff. I like the Beatles and there were some interesting tracks here, did feel a bit angry sometimes at Paul/the beatles
Boring eighties stuff. The title couldnt be more correct.
Weird and experimental. Amazing that it's so old. 2nd side felt like a trip but it was interesting
Shitty indian music infused with jungle. Near the end they go Deng de Deng de Deng deng deng for 2 minutes. It felt like an eternity. Horrible.
I quite liked it. But it did feel a bit long and the album cover irks me. There is also no song that I actively looked up the title to listen to it again, but the total package is nice.
Really dragged down by being a non native English speaker and taking in the lyrics. It just becomes bland singer songwriter stuff when you take away the lyricism. Perhaps I need to come back someday and give it a focussed listen
Amazing how they went from their debut to this. There is some genuine songwriting and music going on
There is nothing to be said that hasn't already been said in other reviews. Doesn't deserve a spot on this list.
Punk pop rock but very watered down. Not that I like punk, but this sounds too tame
No
Oh man, why has this guy 2 albums on this list. At least put actual movie scores on here instead of this. Too much xylophone and too incoherent
Alright
Not bad, but I don't really feel like listening to it again. There were some good parts but also it was a bit long. Didn't feel like there really was an overarching story, which was supposed to be there
I really liked this actually. Does it need to be on this list? Maybe not, its never a good sign if the album isnt in the top albums from spotify, but nevertheles I liked it. There was more going on in variety and quality then some other electronic records on this list.
Angels and let me entertain you, one star each. The rest is forgettable background music. My wife asked after more than half of the cd, is it all Robbie Williams you're playing? She didnt register that yes. It was all Robbie Williams
Even though it is a bit formulaic. They damn perfected the formula.
Surprisingly I quite liked it. Is this when post punk became good? Interesting musically. I dislike the vocals. They still sing like British punk and I absolutely do not like that
4,5 stars. I always had problems with the vocals. But the music is banging
