This would considered a Psychedelic classic were it not for the significant drop in quality on the B side. I still enjoyed it a lot, and it deserves more credit than it gets, but it's clear the longer the album goes on the less ideas the band has.
I have no idea what they were thinking with that last song

Since I Left You
The Avalanches
Probably the only true album that you must hear before you die. To make an album that's made of disjointed samples and to structure them in a way that both sounds good and is as cohesive and as smooth as SILY is extraordinary, most bands fail to do this with normal instruments.
There will never be another album like this, even The Avalanches didn't try this style again, opting for more actual instrumentation and features on their next two albums.

It definitely has it's weak moments, but overall it's far too fun to dislike. It seems likely that a lot of funk rock and third wave ska bands in the 90s took inspiration from these guys, so that's interesting to see

The music is very good, but it falls into the same traps as most other soundtracks do: it doesn't feel like I'm listening to an album, it feels like I'm listening to a soundtrack for a movie I haven't watched. That said, this does at least make an attempt to put the tracks into an album format, so there is some value to this project.

In Our Heads
Hot Chip
I've been a fan of Hot Chip for a while, though I haven't listened to this album before. I've always seen them as a singles band, the few albums I've listened to are inconsistent (at their lowest: mid, at their best: fantastic), this album hasn't really changed my opinion on that, however this is the most consistent they've been.
The highs on this album (obvious picks are Motion Sickness, and Flutes, but I'd put Night and Day in there too) are nothing short of phenomenal, Flutes in particular (I knew the song prior to listening to the album) is one of the best pop songs of the 21st century in my opinion. The songs in-between are for the most part quite well put together, there's a few dips in quality, but there is a pretty significant gulf between these songs and their best.

Rock Bottom
Robert Wyatt
One of the more confusing listens on the list so far, I had to give it another listen the next morning, to fully digest it. That said this is a borderline masterpiece, just from the music alone you can tell there's a lot of pain behind the songwriting, and as it turns out Robert Wyatt got permanently paralysed. I can see why people don't like this, it feels amateurish at times, and a bit too avant-garde at others, but when it comes together (Sea Song, Alifib suite) its perfect, and unlike anything else.

Strangeways, Here We Come
The Smiths
I think this is the best Smiths studio release, though it seems to generally be considered their worst. Johnny Marr and Morrissey are both at their best, the lyrics are at their most humourous and self-pitying (which, let's face it, is what Morrissey does best), and it has some of the best hooks in the Smiths discography. Johnny Marr's guitar playing on Death of a Disco Dancer is a real highlight. I think it also has more experimentation with their sound compared to the others, which makes me think their next album would have been something somewhat different, though unfortunately we'll never get to hear that.
I can see why others would dislike this. Some of the songs are a bit weird (like the country rock song that's under 2 minutes), and Morrissey is definitely at his most dramatic and excessive here.
Also credit to Andy Rourke, the most underrated Smith, for his bass playing.

With The Beatles
Beatles
The Beatles are my favourite band but this hasn't aged well. Half of the album is covers, and not very good covers for the most part, and only one classic song - All My Loving. To put it in comparison, PPM and Beatles for Sale probably have two or three classics on them.
I still enjoy this but that's mainly because I grew up with it (and it's short), compared to the Beatles other work this is extremely weak.

This band feels somewhere between Queen and Sparks, with some Cheap Trick and ELO mixed in. I think the Queen comparison is the most apt, they're obviously technically proficient and can write songs, but they dick around too much and it comes across as annoying. If I had this on a bad day I could see myself giving this two stars, but right now there's too much quality to ignore and I did enjoy most of the album.

Permission to Land
The Darkness
This doesn't hold up at all. I saw The Darkness live about 15 years ago and I grew up listening to this album, but this is just a throwback to American hard rock/glam metal with nothing unique about it. Even other nostalgia bait bands, like Jamiroquai, at least do something interesting with their genre.
The 1001 doesn't need more hard rock, and of all the hard rock, this definitely isn't one you need to listening to. I Believe In A Thing Called Love is still a bop though

Garbage
This was very refreshing to get right after Permission to Land and Appetite for Destruction, they've aged like avocado, Garbage's self-titled has aged like cognac.
Garbage's strength is their unique sound that blends influences from 90s genres like grunge, shoegaze, noise pop, industrial rock, baggy/alt dance, IDM electronica, and even grebo. I don't think any other band really sounds like them, even though they fit snug into the generic "alternative rock" label. Shirley Manson is an extremely talented vocalist who's sultry but depressed vocals fit well with the rest of the band's music.

I can see why people dislike this, it's far too bloated and has a lot of obvious filler (which as the consecutive covers midway through the album), however when it's good, it's really good. I feel like FGTH used all the material they had for this album, some of these songs definitely should have been b-sides.

All Things Must Pass
George Harrison
There's too much quality on this album for me to give it a negative rating (when it's good it's amazing) but for the most part I didn't particularly enjoy this, it's too long. White Album works because George has two other great songwriters working with him, each with their own styles. This album very much feels like if the White Album only had songs like Long Long Long, Savoy Truffle, and While My Guitar.. on it. The songwriting is quality but there isn't much variation, and it lasts for almost 2 hours.
If you like long pop rock/folk rock/blues rock albums then this'll be your thing, but don't expect much variety than that.

Echo And The Bunnymen
Of Echo's first four albums, I've found this to be their best, it goes deeper into their psychedelic and gothic influences more than the other four, but also seems to probably be the least well liked. It may not have a big standout song like the others do (though The Cutter is really good) but makes up for it with consistency, all the tracks on here are really good.

Electric
The Cult
430 albums in, and this might be the most confusing and worst pick I've seen so far. For context, The Cult were originally a post-punk and goth rock band that blended those genres with psychedelia and hard rock, and it resulted in a pretty interesting take on the genre. The album before this - called Love - has one has their most popular song (She Sells Sanctuary) and is their most critically celebrated album, which is why I question why they instead included this, which is nothing but generic hard rock front to back.
I would have given this a 2 because Love Removal Machine is pretty good, but it's immediately followed by the most unnecessary cover of Born to Be Wild. Fuck you Cult, for selling out, and fuck you book author for choosing yet another hard rock album instead of something interesting.

I really don't understand why this is on the list, it adds nothing that wouldn't be added by any other mid-10s trap album. The songs are average at best and downright cringey at worst. I don't usually agree that albums get added to the book purely because they're British, but I can't really disagree in regards to this album.
I'm probably biased because I don't like the Roadman subculture which, to me, just seems to be British youths pretending to be what the American gangsta rappers of old actually were. "Trying to not get killed by police" bruh you live in London, not fucking LA.

This one is a classic, The KLF were kings at catchy and danceable electronica.

For Spotify users, they've released all the songs from this album on different compilations, searching The White Room should get you a playlist with the correct tracklist. Just cross-reference it with the original tracklist to ensure it's correct.

Aged like milk. I get that Britney was a significant figure of the late 90s and early 00s, but aside from the title track (which holds up quite well) this is forgettable cookie cutter R&B pop which dominated a large portion of the 90s and 00s. It shouldn't be on the list.

This album was disappointing, it starts off with some good potential but quickly devolves into 80s dance cliches.
I recommend you replace "Back to Life" with the single version of the song (subtitled "(However Do You Want Me)") as it fits better and is also probably the best song on the album.

Chaotic explosion of different sounds and genres from across the world, for someone less talented then M.I.A. this would have been a trainwreck, however the result of this album is something which is as equally accessible as it is experimental. 2000s hip-hop was starting to get stale midway through the decade, this helped revitalise it.
It is definitely ahead of it's time, a lot of the hip-hop from the 10s and even hyperpop from this decade can trace it's roots back to M.I.A.'s 2000s output.

...The Dandy Warhols Come Down
The Dandy Warhols
I've heard an album by this band before (the one after this, the one with the big hit on it) and I'm a bit surprised this one made it in over that as that one was more successful and gets more plaudits.
This is American Britpop, and this is the only American band I've heard that goes for this kind of sound. They obviously took a lot of inspiration from bands like Spiritualized and The Verve, because it sounds exactly like them. I'm ambivalent, like The Verve and Spiritualised when they're good they're good but many of the songs are more drawn out than they need to be, and the album ends up being far too long as a result.

Despite being an 80s album, this is one of the best aged hip-hop albums I've heard, it doesn't sound like proto-90s rap, nor does it feel like a collection of 80s cliches like so many of their contemporaries. I feel like De La Soul have fallen out of favour compared to many of the acts from the 90s, which is unfortunate because I feel like this is some of the best you'll hear in the genre.

Hysteria
Def Leppard
New Wave gets an unfair reputation for 80s cheese when bands like Def Leppard exist. They have all of the inspiration of 70s hard rock and metal with none of the substance.
My first thought was "Oh god this is the album with Pour Some Sugar On Me" swiftly followed by "Oh god, it's 62 minutes long". You will definitely feel those 62 minutes, and somehow Pour Some Sugar On Me is the best song here. The rest of the songs for the most part feels indistinguishable from one another, if you've heard any mid-late 80s glam metal then you've heard this entire album.

Great example of how to combine abrasive elements with catchy and accessible rock music. For the heavy amount of noise used it still sounds great.

Sex Packets
Digital Underground
A lot of these early 90s hip-hop albums feel like they're here under obligation to give rap more representation, rather than because of the quality. This is one of them.
There is absolutely no reason this should be over an hour long, it gets repetitive by the second song. In fact, you could half the runtime on all of these songs and have a superior album. Title track is genuinely good though, only positive thing about the album.

One of the best breakup albums, full of energy instead of wallowing in self-pity. You do have to have a tolerance for 80s cheese to appreciate this, but if you can you'll find that you have one of the most consistent albums of the 80s.
Superb hooks, superb basslines.

Adele
Adele is obviously a talented singer, but her music is melodramatic and overly sentimental to an annoying degree, and it's at its worst on this album. The song lyrics are predictable, I think "looking back on someone that they loved that they don't love anymore" could be used to describe half the songs on the album. There's one song that sounds like corporate music you'd hear for an IT company.
I'm not a big fan of Adele to begin with, but I have heard much better from her than anything on this.

Don't Stand Me Down
Dexys Midnight Runners
I like Dexys Midnight Runners, however this album has never stuck with me. I know a lot of fans consider it a misunderstood masterpiece, and there is good songwriting here, but Dexys seems to do everything they can to sabotage the album, such as songs being far longer than they should be, random pauses, and of course the spoken word segments.
There is a good album in here but it's trapped under all these bafflingly poor choices.

Your New Favourite Band
The Hives
I think compilation albums have their place, but including that's just the highlights of their first three projects is just cheating. As for the band themselves, they're unremarkable garage rock revival, the kind of band to be popular in 2002 and disappear immediately afterwards.

Hypocrisy Is The Greatest Luxury
The Disposable Heroes Of Hiphoprisy
I'm conflicted on this, but I like it much more than I dislike. The beats on this are really good for the most part and quite forward thinking at times, such as the industrial influences a few of the songs have. The lead is quite good at rapping and some of the political discourse is quite hard hitting, especially for 92. The sampling is also pretty good for it's time.
My big issue I have with this is the preachiness, I agree with most of the political opinions on here but it's done in the most blunt way possible and at times feels more like a political rally than an album. This is possibly the preachiest album I've ever heard, however they pull it off really well occasionally, such as the track "The Winter of the Long Hot Summer" which was quite chilling. When it's done poorly it comes across as an "old man yells at cloud" moment, the biggest offender here being the 7 minute rant against TV.
This album has very competent rapping, beats, and sampling as well as having some great political discourse, however the preachiness is too much at times.

A Grand Don't Come For Free
The Streets
A very good "rap opera" portrayal of chav culture in Britain, as well as the unflattering poorer side of the country commonly seen north of London. The sound is very amateurish from an artist that is anything but, however I think it helps with the immersion of the story. The singles and the final song are the highlights of the album.
It's worth noting that this album isn't being entirely serious, at the end of the day it is a dramatic representation of someone losing Β£1000

Searching For The Young Soul Rebels
Dexys Midnight Runners
One of the most interesting additions to the new wave canon. Dexys blend the style of punky new wave that was popular in the UK with 60s/70s American black soul and a hint of old mod music, the end result is a very fun and danceable album. It may not have a standout hit like Too Rye Aye (although I guess Geno could count), but makes up for it with consistency.
Shout out to Seven Days Too Long, white British artists covering an old American soul song is always a risky move, but I think this version fits with the album well, and is also an improvement on the original.
