beck has some good ideas and there must be a reason for him being so liked but oh my god i find him so fucking irritating i feel like there's a kid next to me trying to tell me the plot to their favourite video game that they can't remember properly when I listen to this music. for that reason fuck this album its a 1

make metallica cornier and talk about satan more

you can hear how important this album is and it's cool to think form the perspective of the time. that being said most of this album is trolling

better than i thought it would be, for sure enjoyed it more than most springsteen I've heard before. This is all that the midwest emo kids used to have

cmon dog its david bowie and robert fripp

wooooooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

wayyy better then I remember holy shit this is awesome

ehh? he's just fine, some real cool ideas but it's just kinda annoying and brooding without feeling genuine. killer opening track but overall just mediocre

make metallica cornier and talk about satan more

ok adam it's good

some great tunes but fuck he's one note aye jesus

cool as hell, not as good as yoshimi tho

hell yeah B)

GONNA KICK IT ROOT DOWN

nah fuck this is actually so sweet I love it. in a golden hour of your life and taking the time to recognise that??? yes!!!

god i have no idea how this was as successful as it was. it sounds HARSH

not a huge dylan fan but this one was great, gonna relisten to highway 51 and see if I appreciate it a bit more with more context

cool, not my cup of tea composition-wise, maximalism in rock just sounds really weird to me

you can hear how important this album is and it's cool to think form the perspective of the time. that being said most of this album is trolling

pretty gangstered sounding but anxiety's going ape-mode today so definitely could've enjoyed it more on another day, so in reality like 3 stars but I know it'd be 4 on a good day

there are some truly amazing songs on here. but still feels like an incel in a leather jacket to me a little idk what to say maybe i'll like their other albums more

just sounds a little tinny to me compared to revolver and abbey road, still absolutely killing tho

this was a weird inclusion but interesting to hear. that being said, a lot of ASS songs on here. If you can't play the blues, don't???

woooooooooooo

i like this era of dance music but this sucks straight up

i mean cmoon HE WHO FUCKS NUNS WILL LATER JOIN THE CHURCH

idk I guess I just don't get it, her lyrics are.. good? her songwriting is pretty cool, production is super normal and uninteresting, bad blood is an atrocious song, but some good soundscapes and melodies. Just feels super middle of the road to me I don't understand what the fuss is

a little one note but that note is sooo good it sounds exactly like the album cover

4 and a half would be the go for me, i enjoyed this way more than i thought i would but it still doesn't come close to metallica's disc. for me. still a banger tho and awesome guitar parts

I did really enjoy this, but something about knowing too much about the dunedin sound and the people that inspired it just makes me think about how much of a wanker these people always are. wah wah i'm more artsy than everyone else wahh wahhh. people that do stuff that's a little different and act as though it's wholly unique piss me off

enjoying hearing more sonic youth for sure, didn't enjoy this one as much as I thought I would but I'm pretty sure this'll grow massively on me

not huge on the beginning tracks so never got properly invested in this album but it gets sooo good. I love a little meditative session where the music's about just being, so cute. kanye could've been so much more than what he is now :(

still not quite my cup of tea but I enjoyed it more than most Yes I'd already heard. some really cool passages but doesn't do heaps for me overall

alright sure yea it's good, nice big soaring choruses and sax parts. everyone impersonating springsteen as their version of doing "rock vocals" for the last 40 years has kinda made it sound corny asf tho

just not very good, surface level political observations with none of the grit and anger to make it some kind of a chant like a Public Enemy or RATM. So much of it felt like shitty versions of songs gil scott heron had done better two decades earlier. disappointed cos some of the flows and beats were nice and the heart was in the right place but fuck this album kinda blows

not been a huge neil young fan before now but fuck that was awesome, the two "blues" songs especially were absolutely fucking minted. Only downside is having to listen on youtube and forgetting autoplay was on and getting blasted by black midi when I hadn't realised the album had finished

i will always maintain they have the exact same appeal as AC/DC, songs with great tone that are really fun to chant in a stadium, not much more. this shit just isn't moving idk, maybe i just think the gallaghers are wankers

3 enjoyed myself a lot having a little boogie but there wasn't a whole lot to it and wouldn't have enjoyed it heaps if I wasn't working while listening

nah actually had such a great time listening to this, late night and having a whisky kinda music I love it

not huge on the eagles and this has its issues but fuck when it's good it's GOOOOD

beck has some good ideas and there must be a reason for him being so liked but oh my god i find him so fucking irritating i feel like there's a kid next to me trying to tell me the plot to their favourite video game that they can't remember properly when I listen to this music. for that reason fuck this album its a 1

queen i love her this was great

this grew stale fast lmao but i still had a lot of fun at certain parts

enjoyed this a lot more than i thought I would, there were some really cool musical moments on here, but don't think I'll have much of an urge to return to it. 3.5 stars would be more accurate

some really cool horn layering throughout and some cool wacky synths. I enjoyed myself a lot but if I'm honest with myself that enjoyment definitely came from being able to hear the amount of uppers they were on as opposed to good songwriting and structure. of which there was little...

oh my god I loved this, poppy angst is so so good. Few moments that didn't hold up quite as well but I just had so much fun

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO lets get funky :)

oh god i knew one would come up eventually Listening to a zeppelin hit: awesome, groovy, I'm having so much Listening to a zeppelin album: tedious, fatiguing, by the end of it feel like I'm listening to two petulant children scream for attention to drown out one of the nicest rhythm sections in the genre ultimately I just don't get it like everyone else does, they're just good, and the response to any criticism against this band just makes me wanna double down on it cos everyone's so fucking annoying about it that being said it's still like 3 stars of course

i feel like I'm in the most musically-savvy spy movie ever whenever I listen to this album it's so so good. top 3 miles davis for me

best mixed megadeth album by far, but like a lot of their albums is just a little too silly to take the subject matter seriously somtimes

definitely wasn't an album-oriented artist but this is always one where it's gonna make you feel something strong, crazy crazy influence. some of my favourite pac beats on this one as well

everything he touched grooved so hard, and a lot of the production on his albums sounds so crisp for the time

I mean it's not bad but they were a bit fucken late to the party with this sound lmao

nirvana have grown on me so much in recent years but this album I don't think ever will. I love how On a Plain and Something in the Way sound in this style but everything else is super grating to me. The Man Who Sold the World does sound good but I prefer the Bowie version a lot more. God I wanna like this as much as everyone else

this whole thing is making me realise I absolutely adore neil young, haven't heard a bad album yet

they just killed it every time, a lot more melancholy sounding than expected

wish this era of music clicked for me more, but still a fun album with some great high points but generally not for me, maybe I'll get there in future

really glad I went into this with no knowledge this was so much fun, awesome blend of punk, new wave, and just that general wacky shit associated with talking heads etc. really enjoyable

he actually cannot make bad music

if I'm in the mood for it this album makes me absolutely transcend, so good for so many different occasions

enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would but also I guess I was raised on this kinda music, unfinished sympathy bumped it up a star then the song after immediately brought it back down lol

the bee gees are overhated and have some great tunes so I wanted to like this but oh my GOD it was SO DRAB, it was worse than watching paint dry it was like watching old wall paper peel. A couple tunes at the start were pretty good but the intstrumentation is just rubbish, the strings make the music feel like it's been dropped in a muddy puddle. The song about Israel was an interesting one too lmao

I'm having a great time with all this mum rock tbh. didn't think I'd love it so much

grew on me after a few songs, really fun guitar tone that added a lot to songs that are otherwise not super interesting

wow holy shit, I thought I'd probably enjoy it but this is PHENOMENAL, the spaciest smoothest sax ever over classic motown grooves. So good

pretty fun, but glam just wasn't THAT interesting musically

i think i had fun, so, nice

didn't fully get the hype when I listened to it first years ago but then I got good headphones and could hear Jamerson's basslines, then learned more context, now it's one of my favourites lol

were never my favourite but when I do listen I just get lost in it it's so well done

acid casualty music is my favourite music

i love him so much but Aretha Franklin really dookied all over any chance of me ever enjoying the original version of respect

cmon it's awesome

little boogie :) wahooo

idk how I'd never actually ended up listening to a Janis Joplin album but it was pretty much as expected. Nice blues arrangements with some hearty screeching, always sick but wish there was a bit more musical versatility

this is the best one straight up it just takes u out of the world and puts u in vast expanses of ocean and space just with music. so fucking good

wow u know what make this fantastic era-defining album better? dotting a bunch of garbage inbetween all the amazing tracks and padding out the runtime to 2 hours for no reason

nah this was wicked, wayyy better than expected

never listened all the through before, the most Blur-like Gorillaz album. But that's a pretty cool thin, just some of the songs were pretty irritating to listen to on a stressful work day, but that's also my fault

john lydon consistently surprises me with how many great tracks I've never heard of from him, not that I knew that many to begin with. But shit this was great, dragged here and there but I had lots of fun so 5 stars

the beatles had such a strong "losing my mind from acid" vibe at this point in their career that really doesn't sit well with me on this album. I like it on Magical Mystery tour but on this one I feel like I'm being held hostage and fed tabs by Charles Manson's cult. But also it's got shit like while my guitar gently weeps and influential asf stuff so liek it's still a good album just weak for the beatles imo

fuck I really did hate them back in the day but they're just such classic little cute indie music where u imagine some cringe ass romantic gesture happening to it. It's CUTE and people that don't like it are AFRAID!

this was lovely, lots of influences from places I wuite enjoy. Nothing too special about the songwriting, but some really nice soundscapes

I have a lot more nostalgia for this era of soft kind of nothing-rock from singer songwriters of the late 90s and early 2000s than I thought. 5/5 for the soft cell cover alone tho holy shit what a TUNE

just really not much there. Don't like the lyrics, they're super stale. Sound of the music is nice enough I guess idk it's pretty boring. They are to radiohead what norah jones is to traditional jazz singing except norah jones could play the traditional stuff too and coldplay can't do radiohead

just gorgeous

started off not really clicking with me despite how amazing his voice is and a love for music with similar timbres but by the end of the last track I was in a daze and hadn't realised how moved I was for past however many minutes. Then checking the release date and it was early 90s??? Who the fuck produced this it sounds so crisp and massive. The mixing on this was ahead of its time for sure, ranging formform beutifully crisp sounds of the more stripped down tracks to big soaring ones that almost sound like something that Mike Dean would produce. So sick wtf

let's fucking gooooo I find this type of blues cool but really boring and the rhythms on this spice it up the perfect amount. Creamed my knickers for this one for sure

Just another CCR album. Cool as fuck but tinny and grating sounding if you're not in the mood for it lol. Luckily I stopped it and listened to it later when I wanted to and had a great time

just doesn't really get better than this aye

I don't really get the big deal with elton john but I did have fun so 5 stars who cares

eric clapton is so unbelievably overrated. That being said, some fun songs on here of course, he wasn't famous for NO reason. I think the novelty of this sound was one of the biggest things it had going for it and that most of this album is a little boring

cmon its just the fucking best

not as good as with ry cooder but man this guy just loves to have a jam

knew that the exclusively classic rock obsessed saddos would hate this album without thought so was gonna give it a 5 anyway to spite them but it actually deserves it too so a double win

kinda annoying lol but some cool bits

i mean come on

classic bowie but particularly sax heavy lets gooo

when I'm not in the mood for it it's annoying asf but when I am in the mood for it it's so much fun he such great energy

the fun songs were a lot of fun but the early synth sound stuff always drags a bit for me. But still had lots of fun and super infulential

A big surprise how much I enjoyed this god damn!! I loved all the dance elements to this and ended up listening to all the bonus tracks and remixes on the deluxe version. also introduced me to paul oakenfold properly which is awesome, only knew him from a The Streets song reference lol

First time I've listened to her since actually experiencing heartbreak and it's definitely a lot better lmao, not her best work tho

Sent me listening to like 3 of their other albums afterwards it's just so much funnn

1 cos researching the artist they sound like an annoying asshole and this album is such mediocre 80s pop music that them being a dick immediately brings it way down. Them claiming this was the most important album since Sgt Peppers is so funny lmao

eh it's fine I don't think they've ever been for me but a pretty cool atmosphere building, just not an atmosphere I care for

I'd listened before and not cared for it so I was shocked at how much I absolutely adored this album this time through. Just such stirring rises and falls of beautfilly orchestrated music accompanying such vivid yet cryptic poetry is just awesome. I get it now lol

not sure of Pixies could do any wrong back in the day everything they made was so genuine it's awesome. Unencumbered creativity that makes you love the songs even if they aren't necessarily pleasing to your ear initially. Glad to have pulled it back into the rotation when assigned this album

turns out I had heard a LOT more of this album than what I thought (which was none), it's played in every second hand store I've ever been in I swear. It sounds phenomenal when it's not coming out of their tinny speakers though. Just as beautiful as I thought it would be, this is the blueprint for songwriters for a very very good reason, it's just everything you need from a good song, every time.

Fela's the goat no question. Ginger Bakers drums did more for me on this than I expected, they worked well. Fela's band has always been killer tight but the production for the time was really really good for a live album, a lot of shitty sounding ones going round those days

I really want to like John Lee Hooker as I've enjoyed small bits of his sound and music but I've always felt his albums dragged or stayed on one vibe too long. This was finally the one, I thought it was awesome, super glad

was very excited for this to end tbh

I love Brazilian music but the instrumentation on this is just not for me unfortunately. That being said the good definitely outweighs the bad, but I found the opening track really irritating for some reason

I've always figured I'd find this overrated. I did. It's still 5 stars cmon.

grew on me over a lot of years and now I just fucking get it. I think when people talk about this album they don't specify enough how psychedelic this album is instead of jazzy. This just takes you to weird weird places it's so cool, I really think maybe Miles Davis couldn't do wrong. In music that is.

I've heard this so much from a flatmate blasting it way too loud but hearing through headphones this was fucking awesome, like I knew it was good but the jamminess of it is just so much fun

I expected to enjoy this based on what I'd heard of her. I didn't expect to recognise almost every single song she's inescapable and so so good

This is not to say that frank zappa wasn't clever or funny because he was, but he wasn't close to as funny and clever as he thought he was

knew it would be good but holy shiiiiiiit this was amazing

The Band are just so so so good, like come on, cool ass folky songs with killer instrumentation? Sick asf

lmao this might be the most fun I've had so far this whole project I just had a blast. Except that weird final patriotic song that was weird but I'm pretending it didn't happen

5 out of 5 for the swag but obviously not all the songs hold up as well as the hits. but Gangsta Gangsta makes this perfect on its own

awesome addition to this era of punk. Probably the closest thing to bad brains I've heard without it being bad brains. AND I FUCKING LOVE BAD BRAINS!!!!!!

I have no idea why I put off listening to Pulp properly for so long. In my opinion, a far far stronger album than Blur and Oasis ones but not the moving powerhouse singles so not as many get drawn in, but you're blessed if you do give them a proper go

Didn't know what to expect here but absolutely loved this. The exact folky vibe that I love and the exact kind of pyschy/jazzy/funky guitar tones that I'm into on the more upbeat tracks, super cool definitely listening many more times

never really gave aerosmith a proper shot but I should've known I'd enjoy this this much just based on how much I love the start of Dazed and Confused. Awesome album just nothing but fun the whole way through, even if it's a little too horny

I don't think this album clicks for me like it does for other, but I can absolutely see why it hits so hard for those people that do get it. Very ahead of its time at parts in terms of the atmosphere it created, and pretty cool someone leaning into more atmospheric music during a very songwritey era

He's never clicked like he seems to for everyone else but that doesn't mean it's not still awesome

not quite bjork, still 5 stars

this was awesome lmao

awesome, stunning, gorgeous, amazing, left me with a strange need to listen to kraftwerk

IM YOUR pushermaaaan

had some really cool parts and some parts that felt like absolute wank but given the time it came out that's fair enough

Never gave any of her albums a front to back listen and now I'm gonna do all of them this was so much fun. Dated but in the best way possible

I feel like I've often overlooked just how polished and noisy this was for the time it came out. Obviously there were others doing similar things, but this is a sound that we take for granted so much nowadays that it feels easy to forget this was so special

think this might be my favourite I've heard of theirs so far (have listened but not in years). Never been big on Zeppelin (compared to most of their psycho fans) and this brought up my opinions on their music which is awesome cause I like liking things. This has not, however, changed my opinion that their musical career peaked with their first song
