Got really excited when I saw the really bad reviews. Most of the time what is really out there for others is right up my alley and it certainly was. As a lover of noise rock and experimental music this was a really nice find for sure.

Don't get why this gets such bad reviews. Beats and grooves are fire, arrangements are dope. Nice gem

Separate art from the artist but I can't

Not the best Daft Punk album but really good nonetheless

I hated this more than I would have expected to. I only knew them through I don't feel like dancing which is a certified bop. The songs on this album though are the opposite

Mr tambourine man is a really good song but apart from that this album really isn't my jam.

Wow, I had not heard of Hugh Masekela before and boy have I been missing out. This is instantly going on my rotation list

15/16-year old, classic rock/blues loving, me would have really loved this album. Today I'm way less impressed with this kind of music and it reaffirmed my love/hate relationship with guitar solos. I really don't like it when songs have guitar solos just for the sake of it. This album has a lot of them. It's an ok album but I probably will not be revisiting it any time soon.

Except for their hits, U2 always has been an average rock band with boring songs. This album did not change my mind. It's ok but get very samey the longer it lasts.

Absolute classic. Nothing but good about this album.

Really well crafted album. It falls a bit flat towards the end to me. Otherwise it would've been a 5 star rating.

I've never really liked the stones and this album did not change my mind about them.

Nice Discovery to me. I'm hearing loads of inspiration for later KGATLW music which is a good thing.

Never was able to get into classic hiphop and this album did not change my mind whatsoever.

Of all the mediocre albums I have ever heard in my life this might be the most mediocre of them all. I have listened to the first 7 songs and haven't heard anything that excites me at all. I will not finish this listen because it bores me to no end.

I have always liked.this album ever since it released. I never reach out to it much because Björk is not an artist I really keep track of. It was fun having another go at this album. The funny part about this album is, is that I like it a lot but I can't put my finger on it why though.

The album starts of really great with band on the run and jet but none of the other songs really match the same quality and feel rather average for McCartney. Could have been a 4

I absolutely can not stand this. I've really tried but I can't.

If this experience has confirmed one thing for me it is that I don't give with country at all

Not the best Daft Punk album but really good nonetheless

I did enjoy this album. Nothing really stuck out to me however.

Just an average classic rock album

It's just whatever

As a musician who has been depressed and had an overprotective mother and witnessed drug abuse first hand; this album is very relatable. Regardless it's an absolute classic

Has this guy ever done anything else than the toy story sound? Oh well, I really like the toy story sound anyway

Decent. Starts of really strong but loses momentum quickly.

The police are something else. It's incredible how they put out two banger albums as their first two.

I once tried to get into Sonic youth when I was 15 or 16 years old. I clearly wasn't ready then and I might not be ready 100% yet now either. I grew to like bands like swans, squid, black midi, BC,NR, etc.... And it's clear to me now where they got the inspiration for the parlando style, abrasive dissonance, repetitiveness and quite literally everything that makes their style so great. I just feel like the sound wasn't really developed enough yet when sonic youth did it to be really blown away by it. Solid album nonetheless

Some good songs but the album could have been cut in half

Lots of interesting ideas but never executed really well. Songs overstay their welcome just like the album.

I get why this was a hit album on release. Compared to other classic albums the songwriting is more thoughtful. There are more melodies, song parts. I would still not return to this album for great songwriting though.

I feel like I have been listening to the same song on repeat for an hour. Sure, this might be lyrically appealing but to get to that level it must be musically appealing to me in the first place. Which it isn't.

This has everything to be really great but misses some je ne sais quoi

Amazingly I love this album. I never really vibe with country but this somehow clicks.

I'm having a hard time rating this.

Really nice vibe for some songs. I like this more than the other classic hip hop I've tried before

Shockingly great. The first few songs my thought process was really funny as well: Hey this sounds like the band that does that song 'relax'. Relax comes on. Oh, it is them. War starts playing and I think that song that goes war huh, what is it good for... Would fit so well in this vibe. Then the chant starts halfway through.... Oh damn. So I knew more of this band then I knew. Great discovery overall.

If this was somewhat shorter I would have probably rated it higher. Get bored of it after 4-5 songs

Separate art from the artist but I can't

Lucky I did not die from boredom

16 years ago I probably would have rated this a 5.

Starts off really strong but falls flat really fast. Are classic albums just albums with some hits on it? Because except for the hits this does not mean much as an album.

I did not expect to like this so much. Almost a 5

Exactly the kind of hidden gem I was hoping to discover through this list

The first half of this album is amazing. The second half is kind of a snooze fest. If the second half would've been a tad stronger this would have been a solid 5.

I only knew where is my mind? And damn did not expect what I heard. Love it. Amazing.

Got really excited when I saw the really bad reviews. Most of the time what is really out there for others is right up my alley and it certainly was. As a lover of noise rock and experimental music this was a really nice find for sure.

Fine, I guess. Nothing special. Would have scored lower without the hit songs.

Happy house could have been a thundercat song. The rest was kind of forgettable to be fair.

I totally understand the relevance of this album. But this kind of jazz is just not for me.

The most fun I've ever had with a terrible album

I liked at San Quentin better but this also great

One of the best thrash metal albums of all time. It paved a path for prog metal.

Incredibly dated

Nostalgia kicks in hard with Metallica so I can not do anything else but give this a 5 star rating

I only knew Thin Lizzy through the boys are back in town and even that song was totally underwhelming on this album. If you have to select the best performance from several shows AND still have to do overdubs you probably are not good enough a live band to release a live album. This lacks energy in every way, the songs are mediocre as well. Not horrible but will not play again.

Yet another really strong Björk album

The blues rock part had some interesting ideas but everything was really mis. Than the album got to country rock and was the embodiment of everything I hate about it. Than some other genres passed but I was already done with the album. Did not finish it.

When I saw another jazz album and saw the good reviews it got here, I got really excited to discover another gem. But God, this is so boring. Just a 12 bar blues throughout the whole album and some soloing on top. This album has not one memorable lick or melody.

Nothing special really

I really only knew The Avalanches through Wildflower. This is a great precursor but their sophomore album is better.

So ahead of her time

Oof, was that second cd really necessary? I only could wish for it to end

Ah yes, yes!

So cheesey and not in a good way

Meh

Fun album. Especially the hits.

Not terrible but this album has no business being on this list

Very nice guitar playing but not my cup of tea

I got really seeing a post-hardcore album on the list. Finally something that was not your run to the mill rock, only for it to be a huge let down. Not unlistenable but will not revisit.

I only knew Madonna through her hits (that's a lot of songs) but had never listened to a full album of hers before. My respect for her has only grown. This album is so well written that I immediately heard this was the album with frozen on it. It's not just a collection of songs, but really an album. If the strength of the start would last for the whole album this would have been a 5 star but it's gonna be a 4 star.

This does not get me excited.

I forgot to rate this. A few days later and I can't even remember what it sounded like

Eh, I get why people dislike this.

Sounds like a punk album

This album got me confused. It sounds like the who but as a 90s band and then there she goes sticks out (great song btw) and then some more 90s the who

Actually way better than I had expected

Finally something original on this list. It could have been somewhat more abrasive but overall very nice

If not for geddy lee, rush would've probably been my favorite classic prog band. Still a five star though.

Some fun songs. Some boring ones. Only reinforces my theory for you to have best selling record back in the you only needed one really good song.

I've known and loved this album since it's release

Was refreshing for the first two songs and then got boring really quickly

I would not actively seek this out, nor will I again but was refreshing to listen to.

I enjoyed this more than expected. Also crazy that I did not know this before. It seems like a twist on the wall with influences of a musical. I'm torn between a 4 and a 5 but I feel like this album will grow into a personal favorite so I'm going with a 5 star review for future reference

I never really got this album. I'm a huge prog rock/metal fan so I should like this nu I don't.

For an album as famous as it is, it's not as exciting as I had expected

Yessss!

I hated this more than I would have expected to. I only knew them through I don't feel like dancing which is a certified bop. The songs on this album though are the opposite

Blues

Going in I did not expect much. I'm really not familiar with Lou Reed's work. Also not to familiar with VU except for the two albums I listened to on this list from which I liked one and disliked the other. This is straight up a masterpiece. This is going on my regular rotation

Don't know why this is hated so much. There are some duds there but fun album nonetheless.

Boring

Absolutely not for me

At first I was wondering why this would be included but this album grew stronger the longer it went on

Reggae... And that's a genre I don't like

1001 albums to avoid. This does nothing else than destroying the legacy John has built with the Beatles. Imagine is the only good song on this album.

I've loved this album since release. What a farewell note.

This was a cool discovery. Seems a bit inspired by KGATLW, tame Impala and the like, while at some times sounding like a source of inspiration for butterfly 3000 by KGATLW

Starts of really great but drags on too long

I'm not a big fan of disco and funk but somehow MJ makes it work for me. The album starts of really stronger but the last songs don't cut it to be honest. If they would have been as good as the first few this would have been a 5 star rating

I do not really like punk. Neither do I really like new wave. The undertones make both work though. It gets a little samey after a while though.

Oof

Incredibly mid. Don't get why people say this is Bowie's best album. The second side somewhat redeems the first one. That's why it's got three stars from me

Bob Dylan is just not for me apparently

Space truckin, highway star, when a blind man cries and last but not least smoke on the water are such good songs. The other ones are just ok. So nearly 5 stars.

What a beautiful piece of art.

As someone else on here reviewed: as a music first listener, it's hard to get into Cohen's work. This album is no exception.

Not bad but not great either.

My opinion on yes did not change. Technically this should be a band I adore but just can't get into them.

A little too samey. Great voice and often times great songs

This is going on my regular listening and will check more by air.

Some really fun songs on there

Ok, too long and too poppy. She has a really strong voice and there are some really good songs on there though.

How could this be anything else than a 5 star

This will not go on my regular listening

This album is not the best Kanye output to me. Don't get why it is lauded so much

Very middle of the road

Ok, will not listen again.

When this album hits it's right on point but when it misses it's several miles off. Right down the middle it is.

Liked this more than most old school hiphop

A three I guess. This one is hard to rate.

Everything I hate about country

Everything I do not like about hiphop

Took a few listens but really like this one

I had high hopes for this because of the good reviews and because psych rock from this era is really good overall but this just did not click at all

Album started really strong musically but didn't pull it through to the other songs. Will have to listen to it a few more times to really appreciate it I guess.

The worst band of the big 4. I'd put testament in their place instead. Musically very sound but the vocals suck ass. Other contemporaries embrace the fact they can't sing but anthrax does the opposite. They try to add some catchy singable lines but it just does not work out at all. Musically a 4 Vocally a 1 That leaves me hanging between a 2 and a 3. Because I will not revisit it gets a 2

Some songs too long drawn out. A mishmash of some soulful/poppy songs while on the other hand there's some bad hiphop/rap songs.

Had more fun with this than I expected to. Might be because I was tired in an overly heated car so that came near feeling stoned.

This can't be anything else than a 5 star rating

Not my kind of music, sadly. I reckon the guy sings great and probably is a great songwriter and musician but I just don't like it. That's why it's not a one

He is the boss after all. Never realized how bad he sung though

Three great songs; the others are all just weak clones. The same drums, riffs, licks, fills, etc. It gets kind of boring after a while

If anything this journey is learning me I really don't like hip hop

Flies very high when it does but sinks equally as low when it doesn't fly high.

What a surprise! It's exactly these deep cuts I started this for. Never heard of this album. Yet again it seems like bad reviews seem to result in me liking an album

The Beatles don't deserve anything less than a 6 yet I can only give a 5

What a classic!

One of the greatest albums of all time

I love zappa

Morrissey is a name I see flying by occasionally but I was not familiar with the work of the smiths, nor Morrissey except for hang the dj (thanks black mirror) the guy's voice is really distinct and I recognized it immediately. I was pleasantly surprised but not blown away. The first few opening tracks were really pleasant but it all sounded the same after a while. A solid 3.

There's so many artists I like citing T. rex as a big influence. I don't get it though. It's mostly bland and without direction.

Oof

Was pleasantly surprised by this from the first note on. I've rated my previous tropicalia album as a three star. This one gets four but there's been a decade of evolution between the two albums

Very nice change of pace

Everything Bowie does is almost always certified gold

I'm more of a modern jazz Guy but this is exceptionally well done

Very nice sounds. Makes 80s sound better and less tacky than actual 80s music. Album took too long though. Second disc was not necessary and I did not want to revisit all the songs again.

I do not need to listen to this album to know how to rate it. But I did anyway because I love it so much.

Not too sure about this. It's not a masterpiece as some say and I definitely get why it's overlooked. It needed more direction and focus to grow towards a masterpiece

The album would've been way better but also basically the same if it was only highway to hell repeated throughout

Very cool although the original piece is just way better

I really have to be in the mood for industrial metal. Even on a good day Rammstein gets me bored pretty quickly. And this is basically just Rammstein but rough around the edges and less catchy.

It seems like psychedelic rock is always lauded on release post 2000s. Yet not many stand the test of time. Nothing of interest here.

It's CCC. It's a fun lil album. Nothing too special but I'm glad it's the right length.

Better than expected but still kind of dull

I respect the Beastie boys but I always feel that listening to a whole album by them is just too much. Same with this album..some nice and fun ideas but it is not blowing me away

Not my kind of jam

Run to the mill 90s alternative music

Big ole snoozefest

What a pleasant surprise. I was only familiar with you really got me and was expecting more of the same. Instead I was greeted by some beatles-esque yes-infused proto-prog masterpiece.

Great stuff. Especially as a Jacob Collier fan it's fun to see where his inspiration came from

It's like trout mask replica but less thoughtful

I expected worse but was not blown away

Not my favourite style of Elvis

Pleasant surprise this one. I was vaguely aware of skunk anansie but never knew what they were really up to. Will check more of them later

Was pleasantly surprised by the first track but has nothing more to offer. The longer it went on, the less my appreciation became

I just don't get the appeal of Leonard Cohen. Just a guy talking over some bland music

Boring

As a young drummer I looked up so much to Keith Moon. As a somewhat older, more mature, drummer I realize he overplays a lot. Great album nonetheless

Liked it more than expected but will probably not revisit it

Reggae is such a genre that never clicked for me. The previous reggae album on this list was not bad though and gave me high hopes for this one. It's just plain boring though.

Didn't know what to expect. After finishing it still really don't know what to think of it. The songs seem unpolished and unfinished. Overall very bland.

I've never understood the whole Beatles vs Stones debate. The rolling stones don't come even close to the Beatles. This is supposedly their best work and starts off kinda strong but it's always more of the same and nothing exciting ever happens

Oooh yeah, throwback to me as a teenager. This gets a high rating on nostalgia alone

Surprisingly good album

Don't know what to make of this. Some things I like. Some things are straight up garbage and there is absolutely no continuity

Amazing, wonderful, beautiful. None of these words really do justice

Why oh why is country rock a thing? Unimaginative songs with twangy guitar

From country rock to a full on country album.... Well... At least this isn't as bad ad country rock. But if anything, this list has really established my disliking for country. I give this a 2 for the storytelling and big iron

Why oh why is this on this list? And why are people giving it such high ratings? This is so run to the mill

Not Björk's best or most focused work but this must have been so refreshing when it hit the industry.

Good background music but there is nothing special to be found here

All the songs are so samey

Liked this way more than expected

This album would be so great if it was all like the first two songs. But the rest of the album sounds so cheesy and outdated it almost made me even give a lesser rating

I liked it but I think there is better world music out there

As someone into jazz I had heard so much about this album but never got around to it. As much as I love jam sessions; I just can't get into jam records. If this was the same but less of a jam session and more structured, I would've liked it a lot more

It's good. Really good. But at the same time it's also very repetitive and boring. Some really great songs, some nice breathers but also lots of filler that sound exactly the same. Needed more diverse ideas to warrant a higher rating

Nice hidden gem for me to discover through this list. Great opener, great performance. Every song kept me on my toes and had some kind of surprise. Be it the silly horns in fear or the parody of country in America. Great collection of songs but could've been more focused

Throwback to 16 year old me spinning this on and on and on and on. I can't give this anything else than a 5

Thank god these songs don't last any longer

Don't get why this gets such bad reviews. Beats and grooves are fire, arrangements are dope. Nice gem

I know this is already a short album but to be perfect it should've been even shorter. Or more varied because towards the end everything just starts sounding the same.

Better than most sabbath albums.

Nice easy listening

Some nice ones there but way too long

The first track was really fun but did not leave much of an impression afterwards

It's weird to have never heard of this being a prog guy. It might be because I'm more of a prog metal than a prog rock fan but damn this is good. Lots of inspiration was taken from in the court of the crimson king but that only makes it better.

Artpop mixed with jazz, inspired by Debussy and Bartok got me setting very high expectations for this. Although very good my expectations weren't met. I think I need a few more listens to really uncover this but I'll be looking into more of talk talk's work.

Lots of hits and misses. But the misses are really far of target.

Nice album

Overhyped. Some good songs there though

Off all the mediocre rock albums this is the most mediocre of all

It's crazy that the "not their best" album is still of this quality

I've never been a fan of live albums. Even of bands I dearly know and love, let alone for artists I barely know. It gets raised by a star thanks to the hits.

These are exactly the kind of albums I was hoping to discover through this list

I never expected to rate a punk album with 5 stars. This is amazing. Not just mindless 4 chords aggression but fun riffs and curve balls all around

absolute classic album

Ok album. Nothing groundbreaking

Funky fun

The older I get the more I start appreciating this album

I was a bit worried seeing the country label paired with the low overall rating but this caught me by surprise. It had nothing to do with country. Some doom folk maybe? And the low overall rating on albums I really like is nothing new. This is going onto my heavy rotation; what a beautiful piece of art

Another day another bland album from this list

I think I just don't understand

Very very good

When I was in the deep end emotionally and musically this was the kind of music I was drawn to. Times are not the same anymore. I still like some noise from time to time but this does not have enough substance for me. Best song is dead on arrival. Not giving it one star because I did not hate it 100%

A bit too bland to keep my attention but some fun stuff

Better than what I expected but still too long for its own sake

Amazing album that starts off as strong an album can ever start. Sadly it can't keep the tempo up

The witch was a very nice listen. Afterwards it just became rock n roll with a very abrasive sound. I can see how they were pioneers but musically there was absolutely no innovation to be found after the first track.

I liked this better than most classic hiphop but still very annoying at some points.

Don't even need to listen to this one to rate it

Meh

Minus one for being a live album

Starting to grow tired of this list tbh

Cornier and sweeter than corn syrup

The moment I was growing tired of this list, it throws me this curve ball. Nice album but does not blow me away. It will go on my regular rotation though

Some interesting ideas

Fun album

I don't know if I really love it yet but this has been a nice discovery.

Good album

It's official: I do not like the rolling stones

Fun album that goes on for way too long

Good electronic album but not enough excitement for me

Nothing short of amazing

Yes, I liked this very much

Not my style but I liked it nonetheless

Blues.... It's all so samey... Might be because I'm Illiterate in the genre. Nice that it picks up the pace towards the end

I liked this more than expected

Yeah this is the kind of punk my dislike for punk comes from

King of pop for a reason

Very good album. Starts very strong but overstays it's welcome just a bit

One of the best albums ever and this is not an exaggeration. Really weirded out by the guy from 88 that had never heard a Beatles song before

Not for me

Best hip hop album of the decade

No, just no

Did not expect that I would not like this

The gems I'm looking for from this list

Mediocre RnB record

Not too bad for a classic hip hop album but still pretty repetitive over time

How is it possible I never heard about this album or even band before. And then at the last song it hit me: oh this song... I know.

So far out of my comfort zone but damn I loved this

Really nice and relaxing. Sung wonderfully well. But so damn middle of the road and boring as hell.

It's funny I know Julian Casablancas more by his work in The Voidz than The Strokes. The latter is a somewhat poppier and less daring version of the former. Still great though, there's something je ne sais quoi about his work... Best UK indie album to come out of America

What a great debut album

David Bowie is always great

I must be one of the many people who only knows pulp from common people. This album took me by surprise and I damn myself for sleeping on this. This is great and feel like they've been a big influence on MGMT which is a great thing

The remix of heads will roll is infinitely better than the original. Does not make this album any leds fun though

Fun songs but not my cup of tea. Minus one because it's a live album

Very cool indeed

I really liked LCD Soundsytem's debut album. Then for some reason they never appeared on my radar again. I'm glad this list did what it had to do

Neo psychedelica that stood the test of time? I'm in

I liked this way more than I would've ever expected. Nice cooking!

I did not like this on release but really warmed up to it by now. Still very middle of the road since it's such a drag

Is it possible to rate an album or artist you never heard of before with a 5? I guess... I think I'm in love

God damn, I like DNB but this album.... It's just a bad

I bought this album in a time when internet was not readily available to me. The reason to buy it was because I had heard good things about the doors. I hated this because I was not ready for it. After revisiting it a couple years later I fell in love with the album and the doors never understanding how I hated it before. 5/5

Kind of bland and boring

This album gets redeemed by it's second half. Pacing was just completely wrong. Some of these more upbeat songs should've been at the start rather than only at the end

Surprisingly good. The last song was absolutely horrendous.

This is a big fat no no for me. Soulful songs brought in the most soulless way. It does not help that this is the kind of music my dad put on when I was younger. I hated it back then and still hate it now. Did not even finish the album

I get why people like this but I don't

I don't know why but I really did not like this

Was not a fan of the previous the smiths album this list threw at me. Not a fan of this one either

They could have chosen any other foo fighters album and it would've gotten a higher rating. It amazes me how much this already sounds like modern Foo Fighters albums though. You would think Grohl would still be searching for his sound on this album. But he already found it and never changed it.

Second album of Kate Bush on this list that I absolutely love. I think this list is converting me into a Kate Bush fan.

Incredible I had never even heard of this artist before. On paper this seems like an album I would not like but it had all the right things at the right moments and was incredibly sung as well

Another household name in music history I know nearly nothing about and I wonder how this could be. Absolutely great album. Without the sleeper songs this would've been the perfect score

I never liked gru ge before and proba ly never will

Amazing hits, good songs and some filler. Without those filler songs this would've been the perfect score

This is the fourth stones album I got. I think this is the best one. Still don't like them though

Sigh....

Tonally a bit all over the place but a bunch of fun songs

Be gone

It's no led zep 2 or 4 and I haven't listened to this one like I have those. Still I remember all songs as if I've listened to this album every other day

Don't think it's fun. I'm not lovin it (badabababaaa) and they don't have look like criminals either.

Loved the music but as many others think the vocals were yerrible

Liked this more than expected but lasted too long and did not leave a lasting impression after all

Not much to say about this one

I always get berated for not liking or listening to steely Dan. But this album further cements my opinion of them. It is a very bland mix of stuff that is really good otherwise. It should be great but it isn't because it is so damn boring and sometimes so cheesy it makes me barf in my mouth a little

Just s generally fun album. I do not have any playlist for 50s music. Do not know where to add this.

Fun album I did not know about but it would've been better witnessing this live

Lots of bangers mixed with some sleepers

Iconic

Rufus Wainwright. An artist I've seen passing by quite some time but never took the time for. Well, seems like I was wrong. Absolutely loved this and this is going on my regular listens for sure. I checked his latest album as well but that was not nearly as captivating as this.

Skipped through it.

Not bad but not good either

First song made me wonder why I don't listen to PJ Harvey more. All songs after made me realize why

I get people that say this is too experimental. I also don't think this is can's best album. Really good though

Another great Album from the fifties. It all starts sounding a bit the same after a while though

Great songs, tad too long to be perfect

Might be the best Dylan album I've heard but it all gets too samey after a while and did not keep me hooked throughout

Cheesy and bland. Don't like this type of 80s rock

Not a bad album but does not belong on this list at all

Not bad. A contender for five stars but needs more listens. Also think the first two songs are a really weak start for this.

Meh

I did not expect to like this at all. Thinking of rating this as a 5, it's amazing.

Again an album I liked way more than expected. Heard some Hendrix and Zappa influences. Really nice.

Proggy psych folk? Count me in!

Don't understand why this is so hated

Guess I'm a Peter Gabriel fan

Great album, not perfect in my opinion though.

The black keys should not be on this list. And if they were they should be on this list with El Camino

I'm a prog head. I can not not score this album well. Love that you can clearly hear how much influence this album has had on new generations to come.

-1 for being a live album, -1 for the band apparently not knowing the cues, -1 for so ga sounding almost completely the same

Some great songs but also lots of filler, so not a perfect score.

This has aged very poorly and even became annoying past a certain point

Nope

This album is so weird to me. On the one hand song 2 is the best song by far on this album. On the other hand, song 2 sticks out like a sore thumb.

Nice discovery but not mind blowing

Can't put how I feel to words

Amazing album

I'm torn about this. The opening arrangement is really beautiful, the singing isn't too shabby, the ocean is a wonderful song. But all the rest is just so.... Ughhhhh! Not going to play this again so 2/5

Amazing musicianship, just a tad repetitive

Did not like it

Amazing voice but all the so ga are kind of the same

Oof

Did not leave a lasting impression

I'm going to do what no one has ever done before. I get this album is love it or hate it but I'll rate it right down the middle anyway. There's some really refreshing and good ideas here; at the same time some of the ideas are just a tad over the top. At some points the execution is flawless; at some points it is a bit sloppy.

Another love it or hate it. I understand the overdrive is nauseating for a lot of people. The songs ar really mid. Didn't hate it but will not listen to it again.

I used to listen to this a lot when I was younger. Don't know why

I was only familiar with their 2017 release. Why I haven't delved deeper in their discog; god knows why but I'll surely do it now

That was really good

Not my jam

Not the biggest fan of Lou. Liked this one better than expected

Liked this better than expected but still very much background music to me

Médiocre stuff

Better than most hiphop albums on this list. Which does not mean much

First song was great. The rest were sleepers.

Why is this album on this list?

Ok, I've seen her pass by a lot in my surroundings. It's not bad but not something I will put on much more

Except for the hits I know and love this isn't all that great

Not too bad, not too great either

On paper this is an album for me. In reality; not so much

No I'm not

One of those albums you listen to and wonder why you don't listen to it more often. During gumboots I was thinking: wow he really nailed the African feel for this song not realizing it's played by an actual African band

The first song describes this album oerfectly

So blur has been getting surprisingly (for me) positive reviews from me. I'd say I would give this a five star rating if it felt more like an album.

Exactly what you expect from a smashing pumpkins album

Why is T.Rex so influencial?

Do as the top comment says: listen to the original on YouTube and not the rerecording on Spotify.

I thought I'd hate this but damn so good and groovy. Still too repetitive in some songs to warrant a perfect score

Boring slog

Not bad but lots of whiny songs

Another confirmation I really do not like hiphop if this is peak hiphop...

A-Ma-Zing Really what I needed on a low energy day

Horrible. Really don't get the hype for Cohen

Not bad. Should it be on this list? Probably not

Boring boring boring

I've never really looked into this band. That was a mistake

Fuck Clapton. Sounds boring anyway. Not going to sit through this.

80s pop done well

Nice background music

Started great, dropped of real fast. Why is this on this list?

This ain't no trout mask replica

A fun jam. Didn't go beyond disc 1 though

Yup this one is great

I liked this way more than expected. Some songs were really surprising. This is going on my regular playlist

I don't think there's an album in the world that throws banger after banger like this one in the first half and then drops of so bad like this one. However, this still deserves a perfect score.

Not the best LCD Soundsystem but great anyway

I see Beatles, I give perfect score

Liked the start but the longer it went on the more annoyed I got until checking how long was left to go.

Blergh

All seemed like one song. Not a bad song though.

Boring

I like the sitar, do not like the western psych influence

I'm just not in to this

My first thought when seeing this album: what's this doing on this list? My thoughts after listening: what's this doing this on this list?

Amazing; such a true and heartfelt album.

On paper I should not like this but damn, I've listened to this 3 times back to back

The longer it went on the more o started to like it which is extraordinary because most of the time it's the opposite

Very nice

Yorke is a genius and you can't convince me otherwise

Jack white really did something special back in the day

Another genius at work

Not bad as some backgroundmusic

Very mid tier

Genius indeed

Not bad, not great either. The two hit songs are amazing

Very nice l

Vibes

I'm vaguely familiar with Erykah. It's not bad. It's not great either

Not bad

Nothing too special

Started of nice but ultimately nothing more than some pretentious background music. The two songs with the vocalist prove why they're mostly instrumental music.

Shes obviously a very good singer. I just find it really boring

Of course the noise rock album has a super low score and I love it

Iconic but never been really into it. Also -1 for being a live-album

It's one of the better classic hip-hop albums but this genre will never get a really high score from me

Faith no more is an acquired taste but damn mike Patton is one of the greatest vocalists out there

Just a collection of songs

Pleasantly surprised by the his one

Okay-ish

It's official: I don't like Morrissey

If the album was a bit more condensed and focused this would've been a 5

Crazy how this can be so original and so run to the mill at the same time

Doesn't get me half as excited as it was intended to. It's also all over the place, and not in a good way

Weird choice for a QOTSA album

Iconic

My god, what is this doing on this list?

This got me really excited at first but there are way too many weak points throughout the album

This second album by Robert Wyatt made me a fan

Not my kind of jam

My least favourite Beatles album and probably the only one I would not give a perfect score

Even in the days I was into drum and bass, I would not have liked this

Liked this way more than expected

As a classically trained percussionist I'm very familiar with Burton and Piazzolla's collaboration. I've even played some of this myself. I did not need to listen to this to score it but did anyway, what an amazing piece of art this is. I'm kind of sad to see the abundance of one stars on this but it's to be expected on something so niche as this.

I don't think I'm finishing this one

Varied enough to bump this from a 3 to a 4

Straight 5

No no no just no. This exactly the reason I've never like country

Without the hit songs this would've been a one

Thought I would hate this but than this album threw banger after banger at me (this might be nostalgia speaking here). The second half is not nearly as strong though

Want one took me by surprise. This one doubled down. Lots of muse/Radiohead sounds in this.

Not bad. Not great either.

While I've never really been a fan of Sonic Youth, this one finally clicked for me. Guess I'll need to delve a bit deeper into their discog sometime.

I've not been too hard on punk albums on this list. This one does not make the cut for me though. I also fucked up by having it in repeat. On my second go through I didn't even realise we had started over yet and I started to think "well, this awfully long for a punk album"

Björk Truly is something else

Boooooooooooriiiiiiiing

Okay-ish

Hard to digest but glad I've listened to it. Will listen to it some more and this will probably grow on me

I liked this when I was a teen. It's rating is bumped up because of nostalgia but damn, this is one bug cringefest

The new key words feature is quite handy for my review: long, dated, repetitive, boring

I thought this band would have had something to do with smashing pumpkins but apparently there is no connection. I've even thought for the longest time that debonair was a pumpkins song

Okay I guess, was not blown away

Blowing in the wind is good

Started of really promising with a kind of progressive song. Than dulled down really quickly and became really plain and boring.

Wow did not like this at all

Makes me depressed listening to it

Bunch of background music

Interesting and different

So much filler on this one

Nothing extraordinary

Iconic album but just not perfect to me

This one really surprised me

Fuck Kanye as a person. No respect to this fascist PoS. But as an artist he is just so great. I generally don't like hip-hop but love almost everything he produces

I get that it's different than most of its peer albums but overall this was kinda boring

I like the first part of the album that's more death metal like way more than the second half where they start to hone in on the grindcore.

Good few first songs. Very middling afterwards. -1 for being a live album

Saved by Eminem and the hit songs

Turned it off because it was so boring

Surprised to see this on the list but gives me hope about whoever is adding new entries to this list. This album is not by an iconic artist or does not have a flashy hit song but damn it's so good.

The exact reason I started this list: filling in blanks in my music knowledge. I know some billy Joel but never listened a full album. I'm really glad I discovered this one. Some more time with his album will probably bump it up to a 5 star rating.

This was a pleasant surprise. Everything about this screamed 1 star rating to me: the name of the album, the album art, the genre,... However I quiet enjoyed this. If it wasn't this long I would've probably given it a 4 star rating.

Felt like a b-boy. Don't want to feel like a b-boy for so long

Skimmed through this album and did not vibe with anything

Not bad but not great either

It's hard to get excited by this. It's not bad, it's artful but so damn boring
