Liked it more than I thought I would.
Don't like reggae, don't care for it, never did, probably never will. I understand its importance in music and all but that's it. Listening to this was like torture. Musically speaking it wasn't bad so 2 stars, but I can live the rest of my life peacefully and never listen to anything like this again, and don't regret it. It's just all sounds the same to me. Maybe because I'm not a pothead.
Mid. Molly's Chambers is overrated, don't get why it has all those plays.
very good, liked it a lot.
Amazing, some tracks drag for too long but it won me over. Might listen to it again.
Take it Easy, what an opening song. The rest of the album kinda falls and picks itself up at times, but for being the very first Eagles album it's very good.
Having never listened to a full Quest album before, I was very impressed when the album ended and I realised there were absolutely no bad songs in it. Banger after banger. Absolute 10/10
A good album that i don't want to listen to ever again. Good shit m8
If Joy Division didn't exist, this would have probably been the soundtrack of my teenage years.
Great voice, good songs, not that interesting as a whole. Might need a re-listen.
This is a very weird record, equally horrible and amazing. At times it felt like listening to the unloved, disfigured child of David Bowie and Nick Drake. I take consolation in knowing that Syd Barrett from Pink Floyd sucked on the guitar as much as I do, but if I have to listen to fucking Love You again, I swear to David Bowie I'll revive Syd and stab him myself.
2.5/5.
I liked it a lot but I didn't see myself listening to the whole thing again. But I liked it.
Damn, I really wanted to like this. Despite the superb production and lyrics I can't understand (I don't have any problems with this, I like when I can't understand what they're saying), it didn't do anything for me. I didn't find any songs that stand out and it ended up sounding kind of generic. Which is a real shame, because like I said, I really wanted to like it. Oh well.
2.5/5 the definition of mid
When I was a teenager and started developing more my interests, I stopped caring for the Oasis Brothers, mainly because Blur and Pulp were (and still are) much, much better in my opinion. For years and years I've held this public opinion of "Oasis sucks" that even my friends got tired of, but secretly I was listening to Don't Look Back in Anger and Some Might Say before bed or during trips.
Today I finally listened to the whole thing and god dammit those Oasis Brothers made some good fucking songs. Catchy as hell, instant radio bangers that it's no wonder that they still get played to this day. Roll With It, Wonderwall and Don't Look Back in a straight row is criminal but a big listening pleasure.
I still won't ever forgive them for being massive assholes, and Blur is still better than them.
They got back and there's a high chance they'll come to my country. And while I'm not a fan, I'd go just to say I saw them live. And because I already saw Pulp and Blur, I gotta finish that Britpop trinity. And to piss off an Oasis fan because I bought a ticket they couldn't.
No idea who's more pretentious: People who love Radiohead, or people who hate them.
I've always been a middle ground, enjoying "hits" like High and Dry, Karma Police and Just, realising now that I don't hate the band. I hate the fans and the haters.
Given this is my first full Radiohead album experience, I'll try to be as objective as I can be.
It was okay, surprising at times since I didn't expect I'd like most of the songs, but it's not the second coming of Christ like some people act it is.
Good shit, very very good shit. 9/10
Damn, I got kinda disappointed. Everybody always talks about "HOLY SHIT IT'S ACHTUNG BABY BY U2", and considering that I have already listened to two U2 albums (hehe) I thought to myself "aw yeah this may be it. Finally after many 9/10's this will be the perfect 10".
Well it wasn't. If anything, I don't think it holds up to War or Joshua Tree. It's very commercial in nature and sound, but kinda lacks that U2 thing that made me love those two other albums.
I don't know. Kind of overrated? Like I said, it sounds very commercially succesful (and it probably was), but in my honest eyes is in no way an improvement from Joshua Tree. And now I kinda wish to change my rating of it from a 4 to a 5. It's different, sure. Bold and brash. But not THAT good.
6 - maybe 7 tops - out of 10. Still not sure.
God damn I'm depressed...
Good weird shit. Cool in the Pool is a banger.
3.5/5

Very mid Elvis record. Not an Elvis fan beyond the hits. The mixing is superb though like wtf.
3/5
At times a journey through my inner thoughts.
10/10 for sound and lyrics.
I listened to it while playing some PS1 Need for Speed. 10/10 experience, would recommend.
The album itself is a 8/10.
Didn't really do it for me. Besides Victoria and Shangri-La the rest of the album doesn't sound as good and the songs sound like generic 1970 rock. 2.5/5, but I'll give it a 3 for convenience sake.
This was so cool. If you're reading this, I implore you to listen to it while playing any N64/PS1/DC era racing game. NFS or Gran Turismo.
Good, boring at times, but Tattooed Love Boys and Brass in Pocket make it worth the time spent.
I'm probably gonna be incredibly biased for this one because Blur is one of my favorite bands and I just saw them live a year ago. This album is britpop masterclass. Beetlebum is one of the best album openers ever, and this album also has a lot of great album-only tracks like M.O.R., Death of a Party, Chinese Bombs and Strange News from Another Star.
So sad that americans sleep on Blur and britpop as a whole. They're really missing out.
And it's not even my favorite Blur album, that award goes to The Great Escape
Nah, fuck all of you pretentious douchebags. Limp Bizkit fucking slaps, and no amount of fucking Captain Beefharts and Talking Timbuktús will deny it.
I used to listen to this album on my way to work on the night shifts and I felt cool as fuck. Alongside Hybrid Theory by Linkin Park, Mezzanine by Massive Attack and Wither Blister Burn + Peel by Stabbing Westward.
Come on, it's Purple Rain. It's perfect.
I enjoyed it and thought it was a good time, but it drags a lot by the end.
Some good songs, great opener with Can't Hold Us Down and can confidently said that I liked more than half of the songs in it, counting interludes. But by I'm OK I was waiting for it to end already.
3.5/5 Good time.
It would be a lie to say I'm a fan. To me, every Dinosaur Jr. song sounds the same, with Feel the Pain being the exception. Even the highly regarded "Freak Scene" sounds like the same song again.
I've actually seen them live and I could not tell you when a song ended and the other started. They played 18 SONGS that felt like 4.
This album was sort of like that concert. Boringly listening to every song, waiting for the album to end so I can go and listen to better things.
I always try to be objective, since every piece of music is way more complex than just "it's good" or "it's bad", but there are times where the album makes me don't even care about objectiveness anymore. Like Supa Dupa Fly, or the other ones I haven given 2/5's. Does it have a place in music history? I guess, but I'm not interested enough in the band to go into that deep dive.
I was going to give it a 2, but "Don't" fucked things up and turned into a straight 1. I don't care.
1/5. And that's a lot.
Finally, some good fucking gay ass music. I loved it.
All of the songs sound the same, which can be both a good thing and a bad a thing. Anyway, I liked it at first but it dragged a bit.
I actually have this CD, bought it years ago but for some reason never listened to it as a whole.
It was good, very good. Not perfect, but very very good. 4.5/5
EDIT: Due to Achtung Baby not holding up as I was expecting, this is album is now a 5/5
Having never listened to a full Fleetwood Mac album before, this was a more than pleasant experience. While the Nicks / McVie tracks excel in "radio-pop", Buckingham is kinda brave for putting those silly little quirky songs of his in the middle. I liked the whole thing, but at least 10 songs stand out on their own so you can still cut some of the filler and enjoy it as a whole album.
Surprised of the lack of JoJo-fans here. But a welcome one.
8/10.
Incredibly disappointing. They're called "LES RYTHMES DIGITALES", the album is called "DARKDANCER" and that album art goes so fucking hard. I thought to myself "DAMN THIS MUST BE SOME BREAKBEAT SHIT LIKE PRODIGY OR CIRRUS", instead I got Baby's First DJ Set.
The production is good. The beats, while repetitive, are good in their own way. The vocals are atrocious and kill every good vibe that the songs make. The only songs that I could say I liked were Hypnotise and Take a Little Time, and I wish the album sounded more like that last one track because the rest is bad. And not "so bad is good". No, it's bad.
I even made the exercise of listening to it while playing Need for Speed on the PS1, and not even the magic of polygonal NFS could save this album. I WAS FALLING ASLEEP.
LRD EVEN MADE A REMIX FOR PURE MORNING BY PLACEBO, AND THAT REMIX IS GOOD. WHAT IS THIS?
2/5, but 3/10. Disappointing.
Damn this was good. It took me back to when I first listened to The Stone Roses for some reason. Better than Joshua Tree? I don't know, but I liked it the same, if not more.
It's been literal years since I have felt so emotional listening to an album as I feel right now listening to this for the very first time. I can only compare it to the first time I listened to Hunky Dory, my favorite Bowie album, during a dark time in my life. It's the same familiar feeling once again.
Good start but it dragged by the 4th track and never got back on track. 3.5/5
I'll always have a soft spot for this album. It will always remind me of the big city, specifically Santiago de Chile. I'm chilean (hola qué wea), and I grew up mostly in a small town. When the time came to move to the big city, I used to listen to this album nonstop and it was the best match it could have been.
It has been said before, but anyone who doesn't rate this 5 stars, doesn't know what they're talking about.
3.5/5 but I'm gonna go with 4 for convenience sake.
At first I wasn't sure. I felt some songs had good beats but wrong deliveries, while others had great deliveries but horrible beats. It won me overtime and I think the overall concept is really good.
I give it artistic merit, but it would be a lie to say I liked it. I don't hate it though, just heavily disliked it. I could recommend it to some friends who may enjoy it.
Noise rock can be good, and I have yet to be proven right.
Reeling and Rocking really got to me for some reason...
I have a complicated story with The Smiths. I used to listen to them a lot during my dark days in high school, specially this album which I have on CD (it was a gift from a friend), yet I can't remember anything about it besides I Know It's Over and There is a Light.
I despise Morrissey and I refuse to listen to anything with his name attached to it, The Smiths being exceptions.
I don't even listen to The Smiths anymore because there's a sort of stigma related to their fanbase which I don't want to be associated with, and because they make me remember of those dark days.
With that out of the way, the album is very mid and Morrissey's voice is annoying. The exceptions being I Know It's Over, Bigmouth, and There is a Light. I can't believe that the same people who love this shit slander Robbie Williams' Rudebox, and objectively superior album
Go fuck yourselves.
It feels like a crime that I didn't know about this before today.
Yo what a fantastic piece of art this is. I can't believe I never listened to the whole thing until now. Teenage me would have loved it.
I have a complicated history with this album. The first time I listened to it, I didn't think much of it. It was "okay" at best, and none of the tracks stood out for me. I still believe this, none of the songs stand out, some of them have the capacity of, but there quite get there.
Then again, as an album, it is great. Though now I have permanently tainted it, by listening to it while angrily trying to speedrun Super Mario Bros. for NES, and failing every time. So yeah. There's that.
8/10 but I never want to listen to it again.
Very very good shit. Sort of blew my mind.
Good good very good shite
Incredibly disappointing. There's no way this is the best Prince record. Yes, every single one of you is wrong.
IT DRAGS FOR WAY TOO LONG.
Good time, good shit, kinda mid. Talking Heads can do better.
3/5
Bocanada pero para los gringos.
Hermoso y futurista como el OST de un juego de PS1/Dreamcast que nunca existió.
So far my only review in spanish (creo).
10/10
It started so well with the first two tracks but then it went downhill horribly and never recovered. Believe me, I wanted to like it, I gave it a fare shot, but it wasn't good beyond Double Vegetation.
Not a single bad song on this mother sucka'
Damn. Just like Christine and the Queens, I really wanted to like this. Good production, good sound overall, but the songs aren't good. Or at least not good enough. They all sound generic, in a bad way. An incredibly, incredibly mid album with a lot of potential. They have the tools, they know how to use it, but the results just don't work.
Arguably the best Metallica album ever made. It's no wonder that everytime they try to do a "thrash comeback" it ends up sounding like Justice. Death Magnetic and Hardwired, I'm looking STRAIGHT AT YOU.
Metallica's greatest moment influenced by personal tragedy.
10/10.
Good shit, good shit. 8/10.
Look I like the opening song, it shaped a lot of my high school sleepless nights, but the whole album is sadly not as good as I was hoping it to be.
3/5
Mid. I hate this album cover.
Tracks 1 through 8 come and go. Nothing fancy, nothing that stands out besides the personal favorite "Philosophy by Numbers".
Tracks 9 and 10 though, OH BOY. I wish the whole album sounded like that.
Overall, 3.5/5. But I'm gonna give it a 4 in favor of those two final tracks.
Personally didn't like it that much, as in I never want to listen to it ever again, but I can't deny its importance and influence. Without the Monks, there's no Hives, and that's as personal as it can get.
Absolute perfection. Pinkerton before Pinkerton.
Mid live album that doesn't do justice to what a REAL James Brown concert would have been, since you can't see him, most of the appeal is lost.
Sexy music. Made me wish I had a gf.
I mean it's alright, Patti Smith soundalike, but that album cover is fucking clickbait man it does NOT reflect at all what the album sounds like.
If anything the album cover sounds better, does that make sense?
No soy gringo así que no siento ningún apego hacia la mayoría de estas canciones, o a Phil Spector.
As an outside looker, I feel like this should have been a Ronettes album since their songs are the ones that stand out the most. Sleigh Ride alone constitutes half of this album weight, and Frosty the Snowman is featured in one of my favorite scenes in Goodfellas, so those are the three stars.
The rest are okay Christmas classics, but I really didn't like the renditions of Santa Claus is Coming to Town and Rudolph. I don't know why, there is nothing wrong with them, they just didn't resonate with me.
Or maybe is because I'm listening to a Christmas album on the 29th of March, Idk.
3.5/7 but 4 stars for convenience.
Good shit, good shit. Way better than Nothing's Shocking.
First time I listened to this I got bored. Second time (now) it was a bit better, maybe because I was in the mood for it.
7/10
Kinda short for a live album but very very good 8/10
It wasn't a bad album, but that's a very wrong way to start an album. Wrong, but brave.
If you removed the trap songs you'd have a very decent album, but alas, it stays in the pile of Number 2's.
I'm totally not in the mood for this so I did not enjoy it. I need to re-listen to this again on a cold winter morning suffering from seasonal depression and drinking a hot coffee, then maybe my thoughts on it will change.
Current rating: 2/5
One time I was working at my uncle's store and I wanted to take a big dump that could not be hold, so I took a bike and rode home as fast as I could because the shit was already leaving my cervical cavities. During this ride I almost run over two people and a truck almost runs me over, because at the time my town did not have bike lanes and I had to switch between the thin sidewalk and the dangerous car lane. So the thing is, I get to my grandma's house, absolutely destroy her bathroom, and I immediately get back to work.
Why am I telling you this? Because I was listening to this album the whole time this was happening. So everytime I hear "I Want You (She's So Heavy)", immediately followed by "Here Comes the Sun", I remember the sheer panic my guts were feeling, and the amount of relief that followed when the fecal matter left my body and George Harrison's sweet voice was singing in my ears.
I used to be OBSESSED with this album in high school. So much so that I got burned out of it and stopped listening to it for years. Now that I listen to it again, it feels like seeing a long-lost friend. I remembered the time I listened to Picture This for the first time.
8/10.
I have yet to listen to a Rolling Stones album that isn't "just okay", and boy this is not the exception to that.
It's kind of a rare moment when I don't want an album to end. I'm planning on listening to it a few more times before going to bed.
Current rating: 8/10
What is Arnold Schwarzenegger yapping about in that last song?
10/10
Beautiful as seeing the person you'll fall in love with for the very first time, then seeing them again 10 years later and realising you still love them like that.
Tip: Right after Flugufrelsarinn, listen to "Catch the Rainbow" by Rainbow, with a 6-second fade in between.
2.5, didn't really do it for me. Kinda disappointed.
Can't go wrong with some good old Ray Charles from time to time.
Finally a good fucking Rolling Stones album
Este es uno de los pocos álbumes que me hace decir "HELL YEAH" al hecho de ser latino. Planeo escucharlo dos veces más pero por ahora es un 10/10.
EL CUARTO DE QUÉ?!
Great sound but the songs didn't really do anything to me. They could have used more work.
Love this album, it has been one of my loyal companions since high school and all the way through college. No way this isn't a 10/10
I relistened to this while playing the Boo levels in Super Mario 64
Honestly if you don't like "mainstream pop-py" stuff like this you're just coming off as a pretentious, no-fun snob and i can guarantee you are boring at parties and trust me, nobody wants you there.
A very good sandwich of Roundabout and Heart of the Sunrise, with not that much in between but those two tracks stand out a lot.
This is amazing for an album released almost 70 years ago. The songs are just timeless and Little Richard's infectous energy just goes right through the digital soundwaves.
My buddy Freddy recommended me this one and boy was he not wrong.
92.
This album is a masterpiece in synthpop. Every song has the potential of being a hit-single.
I have never been really into Megadeth for a very stupid reason. I have very slow fingers so I can never accurately air-guitar to their songs lol let alone actually play them
With that said, I've always known that Rust in Peace is fucking awesome and IT IS, IT'S FUCKING AWESOME.
Basically the best Bowie album ever made alongside Scary Monsters
Those sure were songs for swingin' lovers, which is something I am not.
This was ass, I'm sorry. I really liked the instrumentals but the vocals ruin most of the songs. "Service" and "Past Gone Mad" for example, would have worked better as instrumental tracks. "Glam Racket" as well. The only song I can say I liked was "Lost in Music", the rest is not even bad, just generic and didn't leave any impressions in me.
Mid overall. 5/10. You don't need to listen to this before you die.
I had the biggest religious experience of the year with this album.
10/10
Bruh like it's Pulp, they're one of my favorite bands of all time. I saw Jarvis Cocker live and he threw me a badge with the face of Steve Mackey in it, I love all of them.
Instant 10/10.
This shit rocked hard as fuck hell yeah, i don't know why I doubted it was good.
I have a very soft spot for Locomotive Breath, because it was the final song that I played during my last session of the original The Crew game before Ubisoft killed the servers. It was a great send-off.
Fuck you Ubisoft.
It's a fun album to air-guitar to.
I listened to this during a cold autumn morning while playing Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit, the saddest and most beautiful race I've ever had in that game.
Love this shit. It's 4 stars but I'll give it 5 because I love it.
I liked it more than I should've me thinks.
ABBA never does any wrong.
It's just generic 2010s indie pop. A couple of tracks stand out but it's nothing out of the ordinary.
It reminded me of Little Talks by Of Monsters and Men, and I'd rather listen to that. The thing is I hate that song.
This shit is perfect man.
10/10 GOATED SHIT EASILY THE BEST ALBUM OF ALL TIME.
As a Doors fan I think it's weird that this one's here as I've never considered it any good.
One of the best things I have ever heard.
I fuck heavily with this.
Yeah that's some good old Creedence alright. Never can go wrong with it.
