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

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

Never cared much for them but good god I'd rather listen to an asmr of a colonoscopy than whatever the hell this was

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
