Popular Reviews

I had me a well deserved smoke after a long drive while listening to this one. I sat in my backyard watching the cemetery behind, thinking about how ill be the same one day. The trees round me started staring as I realized that nature will last far longer than I. The rocks and trees don't feel like we do, but maybe they are just as alive. They come into existence and have a purpose that is always fulfilled one way or another. They evolve, take different forms. Leaning on my wooden fence I thought about the young sapling it once was. I could for a moment feel it breath under the weight of my arm. Looking down, I wonder if the dirt knows it's alive. If it were, would it ponder the significance of its own life and be satisfied? I think it would be glad to watch everything evolve: live, grow, prosper, die. If dirt could think, it would be closer to God than we are.

Woke up this morning, punched my alarm clock. Got in the bathroom, grabbed my toothpaste and I punched it. It splattered all over the mirror so I punched that too. Drove to work, punched in the time clock. Then I made some coffee and punched that too. It got all over my boss. He started yelling and I punched him. Got fired but didn't care. Came home, punched my wife. Kids got off of school, punched them too. Punched my dog, punched my dinner, punched my pillow. This album gets five punches out of five.

I have to like this if I want a chance with the alt girls

Favorite tracks were: Death on Two Legs, In love With my Car, Prophets Song, Love of my Life, Bohemian Rhapsody

Solid tracks but kinda all sounding similar. Will probably grow on me after consecutive listens. Mad skill though so no disrespect with the 3, just not my vibe

I hated this album tbh. Could've done without the kidz-bop song halfway through. The last song sounded like if you searched "plants vs zombies type beat" on YouTube. Production was at least decent but oh my the vocals I'm glad I am dun da da dun dun dun with this one. Gonna go listen to that industrial German yelling album🤘

Parts of this album were pretty good and no doubt there is no lack of skill behind it. I just find the genre unappealing and the length of this album to be a crime against my free time. Didn't hate it. Not gonna listen again tho

I <3 CCR

SOMEONE GIVE THESE MEN THE FUNK!!! QUICK!!

"I mean it's alright" - Cupcake Lover

Solid but not the best from Mr. Top. Billy Gibbons ducks tho

I have both pity and envy to those who haven't yet heard this album. My 100th album on this app!! It's been a great journey of music discovery so far.

Vocals suck but good shitsu

Come on! Come on. Have to. 5

Oh fuck off

Hippies rock maaaaan

Pretty trash, but if you like it , well that's just great for you!

I love this album. A mix of Beatles, Floyd, the Who with a dash of eastern and punk influence.

If you don't like this you just probably don't get it. Bowies best talent is producing new styles with each project. Here he tries contemporary rock pop using influences from Jazz, Funk, and Punk. Is it Bowie at his best? Hell. Yeah. Bowie has nearly a dozen perfect albums. There's a reason why he's the GOAT.

I pledge allegiance to the funk!

You might say you like this, but do you really?

He really is a production wizard. An album so deep that touches into so many styles and emotions. Unidentifiable but pleasing, like a magic trick for your ears

Bro really thinks he cooked with this one

Pretty good but a little disappointed. I might be in the majority but I don't care for After Hours. No instrumentals which is kinda what I dig about VU and vocals from the drummer? I get that its different and outsider music and the lyrics are deep but it's just kinda mid to me. Other songs are great, like What Goes On, Murder Mystery, Candy Says, and Pale Blue Eyes. The rest is kinda falls short of hype this band has earned. Excited to hear VU with Nico and White Light, which I think are more experimental

Yeeee to the hawww We making it out the cornfield with this one Ely really honks my tonk

Honestly not the greatest, but has a lot of iconic moments. Ghost is a top 5 rapper in my opinion, so it has to be great, but it's not even his best. Everyone will point at Ironman and Supreme Clientele, but check out bulletproof wallets. Still features great production from some G.O.A.T.s. RIP DILLA , RIP DOOM, RIP ODB, LONG LIVE GHOST and WU TANG FOREVER.

Big Richard must be proud

My favorite part about Frank Zappa is just how deep the rabbit hole goes with him. He has several 5 star albums that vary in style and theme but somehow always sound like him. He's got the skill to match any prog-rock or jazz composition legends. Most impressively he has managed to create multiple bands featuring and fostering top tier players in the industry. Flo n Eddy, Adrian Belew, Steve Vai, George Duke, Ruth Underwood, Ian Underwood, Chester Thomson, Jean Luc Ponty are all world class musicians. These artists have solo careers and went on to play in bands like King Crimson, Talking Heads, Genesis, and Mahavishnu Orchestra. He's played with Pink Floyd before; that's a good watch on youtube. He's covered now obscure Doo-Wop legends but also Led Zeppelin. Frank Zappa fought the PMRC and took on many senators wives. There's just so many strings to follow with this interesting fellow. Anyways, my top 5 FZ songs are probably Black Napkins, Whats New in Baltimore, Sofa, Peaches and Watermelon. Favorite albums are OSFA, Roxy, Sleep Dirt, Wazoo, Them or Us, Uncle Meat, and the sublime Freak Out! Favorite deep cut is Revised Music for Guitar and Low-Budget Orchestra RIP FRANK

This day I learned about a legend

Scary but interesting. Like that manly looking girl you find strangely hot, you know? What's wrong with me

I <3 Bobby D

I love the first two and last two tracks and the rest are dirty and sexy. I Wanna Sleep With You is a banger too ; ) Some of it sounds like Bowie which is a plus for me. One of my favorite new wave albums that makes me think maybe this genre can be rewarding after all

Not entirely bad, but mostly

Stand! is good, but this is for There's a Riot Going on, which i gave a 4. I was so naive then

Cocaine music

Yo, fuck the haters. This shit is fire. Alt-Country is a genre I've not run into much but it's pretty cool. This album is GOOD, but I've given a lot of good albums a 3, sooo...

I am absolutely floored by this album. Been a long Eno, Bowie, and Talking Heads fan but never got into Roxy. Now I am into it for sure

I've been waiting to add this to my profile. Country boys say hoooo

My favorite basketball player makes music too

I like Eno a lot, but like damn. This is good, but in an ambient kind of way. Nothing is really going on but that's the point. Its perfect

I like a girl and her name is Roxy.... oooooh yeah🥵🥵

Fuck you Kanye

Smooth, subtle, boring.... sorry. Jackie Brown is an awesome movie though!

The Zappa lore goes deep and it all starts here. RIP Frank ILY

Aside from "The Christian Life" I love it. Graham Parsons is a greatly influential man who I've come to respect a lot. Also a Bob Dylan song, how great! I gave 5th Dimension a 3 earlier in this project and I've come to like the Byrds much more since then, as well as country music as a whole.

File under: Dramatic white people music See also: Bowie, Elvis Costello, Nick Cave

Premier and Guru are kings

The better Dexys album on this list. Love how horny this band is

NICE

Solidd

Am I supposed to care that this guy got into a fight with his famous dad? Who gives a fuck

RIP

SO HORNY but I like it. Maybe someone out there CAN match my freak

New to me and sickkkk

Unfortunately I am going to join the many haters of this album. Not that it is entirely bad or pointless, but that I don't enjoy it. I would much rather listen to classical German music which this is based on. I understand that genre is influential but is this album? Maybe to Ute Lemper Punishing Kiss, but I also don't like that album. Pretty sure Nick Cave and Tom Waits and others were making music like this before, so I just don't get it. I did go down an interesting rabbit hole of classical German from this though. I'm interested, but not in this. Sorry but some albums have to get a 1 to make the 2s count for something. At least you made the book.

If its good enough for the library of congress, its good enough for me

This is the biggest tragedy of 2001

I have to like this if I want a chance with the alt girls

Someone cooked here

Morrissey has has a chokehold on my balls ever since I listened to all the Smiths albums 4 Star not Smith but Smith Adjacent

You know the project is fire when Old Dirty Bastard is on the mic

Album 800 now and I just realized that's two years now I've been at this project. It's been a constant source of stability through the last few crazy years. 2/3s done.

Not great but I have a new name for my hog - the sabre of paradise

An album I probably never would have listened to but its one of the greats. Sinewd is so good

To anyone who doesn't "get" Nick Cave.. I didnt (still dont kinda) really fw it either. It's pretty hardcore and definetly not for casuals. It takes some time to get into it. But this is really him at his most beautiful and reflective. Give it some time, a few years maybe and you could find yourself liking it. Just don't write it off because its hard to listen to. When I started this listening journey I was not looking forward to it and also questioned why he had so many albums, but I think there's value in seeing an artists evolution, especially when they are as influential and long lasting as Cave. Also it would be really boring for an artist not to evolve their sound like most bands eventually do, so I really understand having to listen to like 5 Nick Cave albums and a few from his bands.

Holy peak

Unexpected banger 🔥

Kings of MID

Sounds like if someone made Rebel Rebel into a whole album. Seriously just sounds like a Bowie rip off 90% of the time. Totally mediocre and overly appreciated like all Britpop. Still, I didnt want to cut my ears off listening to it

G Love seems cool but white people copying blues is never a good recipe. Terrible frat blues rock. Beck did it better and I dont really like him much either. Cigarette moms everywhere love this shit though. I remember one lady I worked with her favorite song was Loser by Beck. Having a loser complex I guess is something cool in the 2000's? Idk bro maybe if you didnt listen to the worst music ever maybe your personality would be more likeable. Gonna go jork it to some Miles Davis or Mingus just to feel superior ✌️

Get this fucking bootlicking racist chud off of this list

No likey

Great singer, not listening to all that. Happy for you though, or sad that happened
