The Beach BoysNever cared much for them but good god I'd rather listen to an asmr of a colonoscopy than whatever the hell this was
Never cared much for them but good god I'd rather listen to an asmr of a colonoscopy than whatever the hell this was
Music isn't bad but everything is just creepy and nasty af given steven tylers history with minors. It's all kinds of wrong
Amazing lyricist that should've been born mute
Less than 90 seconds in and I want to cut off my ears
There were a couple brief moments where a song would start to trend towards being not completely awful. Or maybe it was when I just couldn't be bothered to pay attention
Bass lines were solid but everything was uninteresting
Would've been better as an instrumental album
Thos was a horrible, tortuous listening experience that i hope ill be able to soon forget
Album is not engaging enough for its nearly 2 hour length. Has some absolutely amazing songs but also has lots of boring songs that dont hold your attention. A 2 hour album is fine but you need to keep the listener engaged throughout. If the album were split into 2 albums, they each would've been a 3-4 for me
Starts off with an amazing 20 minute epic but then the rest of the album is compromised of sub 4 minute songs that domt go anyehere or build off of the first track. Had so much potential but fails to deliver
Symphony improved everything immensely but still managed to be a relatively boring show
I domt care much for Young's voice. I wss sure id end up hating this album. I was determined to not like it. First track met my low expectations. Then white line played and i was blown away by how much i enjoyed it. Then fuckin up played and i enjoyed it more. I was confused and amazed. Not every track resounded with me eventually, but im shocked i found a lot of good stuff in here. Still dont care much for Young's voice but thats ok. Solid album.
This album is influential and iconic enough for 5 stars but it is ultimately a 4.5 due to a few songs that are just downright awful. You have an otherworldy song like While My Guitar Gently Weeps (the bassbline alone is an eargasm) and Helter Skelter (the godfather of hard rock) but then you have Wild Honey Pie (pretty sure this song would be used as elevator music in hell)
Janelle has a beautiful voice but her early albums are all disappointing. I hope the next iteration of this list drops this album and replaces it with the Age of Pleasure. THAT is an amazing album that you should listen to instead.
The description of John Grants music on Spotify immediately made me feel apprehensive about listening to this album. It did not sound appealing at all. About halfway through the second song I was absolutely hooked and in love. This album is a true masterpiece
No
Haven't listened to an album that made me want to cry in a long time. Absolutely beautiful performance
Started horrible, slowly got ok, then crashed at the bottom
Johnny Rotten can't sing for shit but the music is so damn good
Wildly inconsistent in terms of quality and was such a chore to listen to
Don't particularly care for the foo fighters but this is decent album
If paint drying had theme music, this album would be it
A little bit of REM here and there is great but listening to a full album of a monotonous voice is a little bit much
Too heavy on the synth, gaddy has one of the worst voices to ever ruin a microphone
Why?
Vintage American Rock
Truly a painful and confusing listen. I don't understand what I just listened to and I'm not referring to the German lyrics. Even reading about the album and it's origins did not help to make this an easier or at least more understanding experience. Some songs were somewhat enjoyable bit honestly a 1.5 star album
Definition of boredom
Started off pretty solid but towards the end I was repeatedly looking to see how much longer I had to endure
I expected a more wild or exotic album from how absolutely ludicrous and pretentious the band describes themselves. The album was alright but nothing special. Prog rock influence but eh
Shout out to the carpenters for writing half the songs that i hear whenever I walk through a retail department store
Iconic album. However while the music is phenomenal, what set this album apart from everything else was the music videos. The album would not be as highly regarded aa it is were it not for the videos and dance choreography that MJ brought to the table
I'm not knowledgeable in edm, electronic / dance music. Parts of the album were kinda annoying bit otherwise seemed ok
One of the best debut albums by a rap artist
Genuinely shocked at how commercially uninspired this album was
Filthy, grimey, and absolutely phenomenal album. Jethro Tull was my inspiration for learning to play the flute as a kid
There were a couple brief moments where a song would start to trend towards being not completely awful. Or maybe it was when I just couldn't be bothered to pay attention
This sounds like music I'd end up making because it lacks any semblance of talent and is pure nonsensical noise. Wtf is this doing on this list?
Somehow I've never listened to Bob Dylan sing before now. I've heard plenty of covers of his songs. I know he's a phenomenal writer. But I've never heard hos voice. I've been told by people that have seen him live recently and they've commented on how awful he sounds NOW.... I've never known how awful he sounded 60 years ago. Wtf??? Why did anyone bother listening to this guy? Did anybody ever sit him down and say, "Bobby, just stick to writing songs"???? And who the hell gave him a harmonica??? I just listened to muddy waters and the harmonica on that album was crisp, clean, and smoking. This was trash
I wonder how well this album would've been received had Bowie not died as it released. It feels like the music and the vocals were recorded without either party knowing what the other was doing. The only well recorded song is Lazarus
The album started pretty decent and then the end of the first song assaulted me with a tribute to Yoko Ono, which I did not appreciate. Newspaper was alright
Good god it to a long time to get to a song that wasn't the auditory equivalent of smelling wet dog. Wilmot was decent and the second half of the album was better than the first but the bar was below the floor so..... whoohoo
Music isn't bad but everything is just creepy and nasty af given steven tylers history with minors. It's all kinds of wrong
I never want to listen to another Cohen album again
I've often wondered why I don't listen to other radiohead songs other than creep. I now understand why I don't listen to other radiohead songs other than creep
Somewhere around a 3.5-3.9
While not a bad album, Ill Communication pales in comparison to Licensed to Ill and Paul's Boutique.
Chris Cornell was one of the best vocalists of all time
I'd rather eat dirt than listen to this
This was a surprising, pleasant treat
3.5 some of the electronica got a little annoying but overall an enjoyable album
Listened to this album a lot when I was a teenager. I absolutely loved it. Now? Wtf? Over half the songs seem to repeat themselves over and over. And nearly none of them make sense. They all bleed into each other. And 17??? What the double actual fuck is that song? Idk what the hell was going through my teenage brain enjoying this album.
Not bad enough to get the abysmal 1/5, but not good enough to even get a 2
Hella good voice. Hella boring concert
Cringy, raunchy, goofy, corny. Its an impressive, amazing disaster.
I've heard heard people call Billie Eilish boring. They've clearly never listened to a Bjork album. Boy I can't wait for the next one...
God I hate this album. 90 fucking minutes of a bunch of hicks singing about Alabama and Skynyrd. What the hell
Not my preferred brand of metal. Kinda rough around the edges. Postmortem is a pretty good song though.
Less than 90 seconds in and I want to cut off my ears
Why the hell is radioheads entire damn catalog on this list?
Billy Jack is a helluva strong start to an album but thongs immediately fall off and don't quite reach that high level again. Overall an ok album
Amazing voice but all the songs blend and blur together. Without looking at each track go by, I wouldn't be able to tell when one ends and another begins. All too samey
Amazing lyricist that should've been born mute
Impossible to overstate how influential Spears was back then. I remember baby one more time being played all over the place and the girls at school singing and mimicking her dance moves. Britney was only barely 17 when this album came out and the adult themes of love that she sings about is... unsettling. Gross, even.
Never cared much for them but good god I'd rather listen to an asmr of a colonoscopy than whatever the hell this was
Bad is consistently amazing throughout its entirety. It's outstanding. Compared to an album like Thriller, which is held up by its singles, and the huge dance choreography and music video of thriller itself.
Lyrics are goofy and nonsensical as hell but the music tho... that bass line slaps
Saw the music video for Magick when I was a young teen (MTV I think?) and it fucking haunted me. For whatever reason it just grossed me out and was very disturbing. It's stuck with me throughout the years. Watched it now as an adult when this appeared on my list and it still just disturbs me and twists my stomach up. The rest if the album is quiet pleasant and enjoyable to listen to. Magick itself is an ok song, definitely weaker compared to the rest of the album though
An unremarkable album carried by an unremarkable overplayed single
Album felt instrumentally strong and lyrically weak for the most part. Glory box was a beautiful exception
I initially thought the vials weren't the greatest but I had heard worse. Elegia was quite enjoyable. Then the final track played and I couldn't believe how far the quality of everything just dropped. What a horrible way to end an album
Mostly solid album but the quality really dropped off the last few tracks
I wanted to like it
The only low point on this album is Paper Airplanes and that's only because it was overplayed to death and back when it came out. Overall Killer album
Started off sounding like trash and progressed into a landfill
Not even close. To my preferred cup of tea but this was a surprisingly pleasant listen. Very fun
Moments of something amazing drowned by shit
I would like a refund for the last hour of my life please
3rd Dylan album and my opinion has not changed. Would rather listen to a wet dog fart than hear his voice
Not sure what I did to deserve listening to a Bjork album immediately after a Dylan album
As with most double albums, this one overstayed it's welcome
Not sure why a 1 hit wonder is considered to be an entire album that needs to be listened to
Voice of an angel
Ignoring the infinite flaws and atrocities of Lennon, for an album called Imagine, it is quite an unimaginative album
Is it good? Is it bad? I can't tell whether I love it or hate it. It's definitely punk and the songs definitely go on longer than they should
It's eminem. It's his early days. Of course he's offensive. It's fucking eminem. He didn't get that rep by being a choir boy. The way I am perfectly summarizes him. He says goofy ass lewd shit and gets blamed for the world's awful things. As if we are not responsible for our own actions.
The sex skits drag down an otherwise perfect album. Some of the skits are in the songs so it's not like you can easily just skip them
Holy hell what a boring slog. Never listened to grateful dead before. Never want to again. There were a couple moments when something got interesting but when it did I was so mind numb I couldn't remember to check which track and which minute it happened.
Albums like this are why I'm doing this project. Never would have listened to this album otherwise but I'm glad I did. A pleasure for the ears
An amazing mix of accessible prog rock and classic heavy metal
Iron maiden just isn't my preferred cup of metal but god damn, strange world slaps hard and Charlotte the harlot ain't no slouch either
Pros: Jeff had such an impressive range that he made an album consisting of many genres of rock, so chances are you're gonna find a couple of songs that you'll like Cons: Jeff made an album of so many rock genres that the majority of the album will not be enjoyable, and the couple songs you do like aren't strong enough to carry the weight of the album
Quite frankly you could remove the other 1000 albums from this list and just call it the one album you should listen to before you die
Despite being under 40 minutes, this album still managed to overstay it's welcome
Despite there being over 1000 albums, random fate has decided I need to listen to the entire radiohead catalog before I even get halfway through. As with every other of their albums, I don't get why they're here. This album, like the others, isn't special or notable. It's boring. Dry. Whiny. It would sound better submerged underwater
Started off great and got better with each song
Was expecting some Beatles generic knockoff but was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the songs. Not half bad
Muse is a band that hotboxes themselves with their own farts
First track wasn't great but the next few tracks were amazing. Then some guy started making noises and it killed me
Never realized how awful and annoying his voice is
While the album is very influential on metal today, it has not stood the test of time. It is very noisy and with most "satanic" music, it's edgy for the sake of being edgy. A ploy to get older conservative parents outraged and inspire the youth to seek them out to find out what has the parents so riled.
God what a slog. Instrumentally good but fuck that boring ass vocalist
A couple people featured have nice voices, but I hate Christmas music with every fiber of my being. The only genre worse than Christmas music is country Christmas music
God Tier album
Actually.... enjoyed it? I think? Same annoying ass band that dod that annoying ass this is the day song? What?
Nothing like skits baked into the songs completely ruining them. Great album but skits need to be their own tracks
Finally, some good solid punk
Yeah she has a great voice but that doesn't stop this album from being a dragging slog
Some of the songs were interesting and well crafted and others were uninspired generic things
First few songs had me thinking maybe bob finally fixed his voice and was kinda sounding decent. Then he pulled the rug out from under me and started to make noises similar to Chipotle induced diarrhea
This was hovering at a 2 but then that falsetto came in and good God whoever thought this album was worth listening to needs to rethink their life choices
A band this unremarkable should not have their whole catalogue in this list holy shit
A very pleasant listen
Like Cohen but even more monotone and boring
Like the audio version of a fever dream
I've never really paid much attention to hello in the past, it was something that would be playing somewhere and it was always background noise. Now, actually paying attention, I quite enjoyed it. I thought if the rest of the album delivered this level of emotion, it could end up being a surprise 4 for me. Then Send my Love played and I had forgotten that was her song. God that song is beyond awful. It's the worst kinds of noises smashed together. Then the rest of the album was boring and devoid of emotion. Waste of time
It's not often you get a truly tortuous experience that you will also forget you ever endured it in the first place
A legendary concert and probably one of the best live albums ever created. Absolute masterpiece throughout
Awful album. I get it, but that doesn't stop it from being awful
Ambitious but overly long. A case where a studio exec should lve stepped in and said ok that's enough
Kinda boring in a few parts but overall an interesting album. Would be a 4 but the boring parts drag it down further than the high points raise it up
Goddess on a hiway was alright but the rest of the album is pretty blegh
Wildly inconsistent but overall a better offering than Sister
Some really good riffs but a lot of the songs are pretty samey and difficult to differentiate
Pleasant voice, nice instrumentation. Don't particularly care for listening to someone describing things in a sing songy voice though. I'm left wondering what exactly the point is?
I feel like Im the only person in the world that does not like S&G
Muddy waters has another album in this list, hard again. That album is electric fire dynamite. I was hoping this would be similar but it's pretty disappointing
Strong start, tgought it could become my favorite bowie album. But the quality of songs slowly degrade throughout
Made me want to dance but I simultaneously lost my mind because I swear the same song played 4 or 5 times throughout the album
It's been awhile since I let someone take a shit in my ear but here we are. There is literally nothing redeemable or good about this album. It is a statement on how to not make music
I enjoyed sexy boy and thought it was an indication that this album would be an enjoyable experience but everything after that was mindless generic boops and beeps
Great voice but I can't get i to her music. Just not for me
Like most punk, this one unapologetically shits the bed. Usually I can at least enjoy the musicianship of a punk album but this time I genuinely don't know when a song ended and a new one began. EVERYTHING sounded the same throughout. Noise for the sake of noise
Masterclass of a punk / grunge album. I can see nirvana, stone temple, sound garden, and others being influenced by this record. I'm grateful for this experience.
Every other album I've given a 1 is now retroactively a 3 by comparison to this shit I know now this list is a complete joke, a perfect execution in trolling. There is no universe where this album or this band should be recognized for anything, except for producing a plethora of garbage. I regret ever starting this list and I no longer want to finish it.
A nice variety of songs that peak at entirely forgettable or generic and all the way down to awful
So short I don't know if it's good or bad
80 minute jam sesh
Inwant to like but it keeps missing the mark
It finally happened I committed to myself when I started this project that I would listen to every album in its entirety, no matter how much I hated it. This album is making me break my promise. I will not listen to 2 hours of a drum machine. I made it halfway through the 6th track and I just fucking cant go on anymore. This is fucking awful
Just an amazing piece of art
Absolutely chaotic and not my typical jam but I couldn't help but like it
Not quite as iconic of a 90s album as Americana, but still a mostly solid album
Beautiful set of pipes, felt like i was listening to dolly at times
Was enjoying the album a lot, really fun stuff to vibe along. Was thinking this definitely gonna be 4/5 and a new gem for me. Then somewhere around the halfway point the album took a noise dive off the cliff into suckville
Sure do enjoy being talked to...
Voices were mostly pleasant and a lot of the songs were somewhat enjoyable, but the album commits the cardinal sin of being forgettable while its being listened to. On more than one occasion i had to check to see if my player had screwed up reset to the beginning of the album cuz so many dongs were too similar. Add on that this behemoth is 3 hours long.... like why? Just because you can do a 3 hour album doesn't mean you should. While ive forgotten a lot of the albums ive listened to on this project,very few were forgettable whilst being actively listened to. I couldn't tell you which songs were actually enjoyable. They weren't that remarkable to begin with but the fact so much was same same makes everything worse. Album could've been a 4 if the more unique songs were cherry picked and released as a more typical album.
Ill he reviewing this album on its own merits, and not the actions of its shitastic creator. If i judged music on its artists then thered be nearly no music to enjoy. Ill be leaving my personal opinions of how disgusting and awful of a human being that kanye is. This album sucks. Idk why people shove their head so far up kanyes unwiped asshole and claim how good it is. The guys done some good songs and his early work is definitely his best, but this aint it. I think the only semi enjoyable song here is black skinhead but its the positive thing going here Also, kanye is a nazi and hates black people. Go listen to kendrik or joyner instead of this dickhead. Kanye isnt worth your time
Its ok but why is this an album i need to listen to?
Production quality is inconsistently ass. Thought my ear buds were dying at first but no, the album just sounds bad
The best song, and frankly the only good song, on thisvalbum isnt even jayz's song. Its renegade and was written by eminem. Rest of the album barely even hits mediocre. 3 stars for eminem outperforming jayz on his own album.
Such a powerful album. Cube was probably at his peak with this one
Nice album, made me want to go listen to back to black again
One the greatest American albums ever made. Cash has such an impressive catalog that its odd to me his best body of work is a posthumous release of cover songs. 6/5, would listen to this album on any given day
Like a poor coldplay imitation
Thought it was a pretty bland album until paul thoughtfully declared "cars are cars" like damn Socrates, save some pussy for the rest of us. Jk this album sucked
Never listened to this band before. God damn that is a near perfect album, absolutely beautiful
A compilation of the some of the cringiest dad puns ive been subjected to. Transylvania Blues was auite enjoyable, its the only domg with lyrics and the only reason thos shit isnt a 1
Took a little bit to warm up to it but i ended up enjoying it after awhile. Qualoty isnt consistent but the good was pretty good
5 stars for being so damn short that i have no idea if i loved or hated it. World up my ass was a fun one
Damn this is some boring repetitive ass shit
This album is a perfect example of why im going through this list. Never in a thousand years would i have listened to it. Its notvmy style, none of my friends would be listening to ot, and no algorithm would recommend it. Absolutely amazing album
The only reason this album isnt the greatest punk album ever recorded is because johnny rotten sounds like he has a can of beans stuck in his windpipe
Fickong hell, did dylan actually make a not god awful album? What the hell? I am bewildered. There wre songs here that didnt sound like a cat scratching on a chalkboard. Dont get me wrong, there were several songs that annoyed the shit outta me but damn, i actually didnt hate this album at times
Good god what a boring slog. Literally felt time slow down and my life force drain away
2 stars, 1 each for the bassist and saxophonist for trying to make this trainwreck less trainwrecky
Apart from this albums hits, which arent even that great, this is a pretty boring album
Nice guitar work but this album is sloppy and forgettable
Its frustrating cuz this album touches the edges of greatness but does everything wrong by it. If there was just a little more musicality and direction it could be so good
Orchestra was boring, dude doesnt even sing, and also *gag*
Despite being under 4 minutes, boy child somehow manages to be the longest most drawn out song in existence. And this os felt in every single damn song. Every song overstays its welcome by what feels like an eternity
Meh, its ok but it blends in with too much of the 60s not-beatles
Epitome of outlaw and punk. No one else but the man in black would have the balls to walk into a prison snd sing about murder, drugs, and walking death row
This felt so 90s in all the worst ways
I think that falsetto voice worked for like one song and ruined the rest. The music was pretty good though
Insufferably boring and repetitive
Whoever made this list has their head so far up their own ass that they cant even see they're a dipshit
Shit album from a shit band. Im happy to this band has consistently been obsessed with 17 year old girls no matter how old they get. Fucking creeps
Waaaaay too long
Think this is my 2nd Springsteen album and i feel like i confidently say i dont care for his music
Wasnt enjoying it too much but then Dylans voice came on snd tanked the whole damn thing
Glam but with actual substance
Not a huge fan of his work but the production on this live album is soo clean and good. The people sound like theyre having a helluva time. Wish i could've been there fot it
So noisy and boring
This list is 1001 ALBUMS, not 1001 SONGS. i know how iconic American Pie the Song is, but this album as a whole is largely unremarkable. Grave and Babylon were alright but this album isnt that good
The second hal of this album really drags down a near flawless first half. But by god, the first half is glorious. George was, by far, the most talented of the Beatles and this album showcases it beautifully
Cant help but wonder why this album waa included. Murder ballads was much better. This feels like a weaker prequel concept of murder ballads
Bounced around from being not great to awkward to cool and around and around it goes. Probably the most uncomfortable ive been listening to an slbum before
Goddamn what an amazing album. Definitely gonna revisit this one soon
Queens insistence of including everyone's random ass ideas sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. A very jarring and inconsistent album that will hit the peaks of genius and sink to the valleys of "what fart were you smelling when you wrote this?"
First half was great musically, but the vocals were a special kind of ass. But the second half of the album the vocals improved a lot.
Lana del rey belongs on the list of 1001 artists whose music is used for torture at guantanamo bay
Largely unfamiliar with his work, except for a few of his hits. This is not what i expected an album of his to sound like
Probably the weakest album ive heard so far from one of the wu-tang clan members. Felt more like a cheap imitation of other works
Damn good punk album, that was fun. Felt a little bit like Refused
I know what i know is probably one of the most annoying songs ive heard in recent memory
Not the worst thing ive ever heard but a solid contender for most boring
Feel like pink floyd and this particular album is way overrated but its still a good album
This was quote an awful experience, no redeeming qualities to earn a dingoe star
Why does this guy bave 3 albums on this list? This one is marginally better than the other 2 but the bar is pretty low. Just one of these albums would be enough to explain this guy
Its like listening to a train wreck fall up a staircase. Its awful and you want to get away but you stay out of morbid curiosity because a trainwreck falling up stairs makes no sense and youre hoping youll understand what youre witnessing
What a miserable experience
Absolutely loved death of a clown and harry rag. Overall pretty decent album
Ground breaking album that ruffles so many feathers, i love it. I would argue that Iowa is the definitive slipknot album that must be listened to, but this album is also deserving to be on the list. Love it or hate it
Ok, i owe an apology to courtney. I have completely dismissed her wiel and thats my bad. Damn, what an album.
Some amazing guitarwork but overall this album is a 30 minute slog
