1001 Albums Summary

A beautiful voice, and a great live album. I enjoyed the intimacy of the environment, and loved how Sarah Vaughan was clearly a little nervous but still just flawlessly improvising.

I enjoyed this album a lot while I was in my car driving at night. I think it really shined in that context, but I wasn't super enjoying it when I was just listening to it at work.

I enjoyed the album, and I'm glad I listened to it, but it's not really my cup of tea. I'm glad that this site made me listen to it.

Glad I listened to it, not my cup of tea

Very enjoyable album, glad I listened

Absolute classic.

Really good, just not my favorite.

I really didn't like this one.

It was a fun one, I could see myself listening to this again.

A classic. Couldn't listen to it on Spotify, but I actually listened to a lot of it live this year. Found a few songs on YouTube.

The benchmark for all five star ratings

Pretty good, but I got sick of it fast.

Listenable, but not memorable. Pretty close to a four; I might re-listen.

I didn't like this one very much, none of the songs really stuck.

At first, I thought I would really hate this album. The first song won me over about halfway through; but I still didn't love every song. Still a very cool album.

It's a fun album.

Very good album, would listen to many of them again

Love it, going to add this to the rotation.

Not my type of music, but I liked listening to the whole thing.

A solid album, very british

Really good, a classic.

It had some bops, but I don't think I'll listen to it again.

Extremely grating at times. I can't say that they weren't absolutely cooking at points. But I did not like it, and I would need to be paid to listen to it again. This was the first album where I was unsure if I could actually make it through.

Very well-produced, had some bops. I enjoyed it. Consistent start to finish.

Not a big fan of this one

Really good album, I had only heard the hits before.

Very good album, raunchy most of the way through

I always thought that I hated The Smiths, and I still kind of do, but this one felt a lot more tolerable than what I'm used to. I'm not sure if it was some of the earlier albums I listened to making this sound better in comparison, or if my tastes have changed.

Great album, I wish that there was a cut of it without any skits.

I enjoyed this one quite a bit; definitely a style of BritPop that I can actually appreciate.

There were some good songs, but the album as a whole didn't really stick.

Really good album, still don't like "Stronger Than Me" but every other song was fine

Didn't connect with me as much as other music from The Kinks

Love this album, already had it on rotation

I'm not going to listen to all of the bonus tracks, but the few I did listen to almost sounded better than the original album. Didn't leave much of an impression

It grew on me over time, and I definitely liked some of the beats.

You can tell that they're all very fine musicians and just having fun out there. Some of the lyrics sounded really stupid, and I had no idea what they were trying to say, but it didn't stop them from being fun to listen to. Maybe if I didn't understand English, I would appreciate this band more.

I hadn't heard of this artist before, but I did enjoy listening to the album.

I enjoyed the album, but probably won't revisit it

It's a very fun album, and I find that I've been enjoying listening to these classic rock bands in standalone album form. I've heard them so much on the radio as a kid, that it can take a different context to engage more with the music as more than just background noise.

That was a slick album. Liked it front to back. I generally really like movie soundtrack albums.

It was a really good, though long, basically double album. I liked the Christmas themes in the second part, and the skits were generally more palatable/hilarious than other hip-hop albums. I thought that "Hey Ya!" kind of stuck out from the other songs around it, sounding significantly different. Then again, there was a lot of variance among other songs on the album.

Full of great songs, and I don't think I had heard this one in album form before. Really good, but not quite a five for me.

I listened to this album on a day where it really wasn't vibing with me. I would actually be interested in revisiting it when I'm in a different mood. The first few songs weirded me out with the lyrics.

Great album, some very good songwriting. I wasn't sure what to expect with the red dirt reference, but I'm pretty sure that Harris isn't really tapping into "Red Dirt Country" as a music genre.

Solid album. For some reason I wasn't very excited to listen to it based on the name / cover art, but I do really enjoy the first couple of songs. For the most part, not my favorite, but the musicianship is good enough to warrant a four.

Really good album, very imaginative. She does a good job of using her vocal skill to make actual bops, rather than just showing off.

Very smooth album, pretty good start to finish. I wish I had the time to actually figure out what they're singing about half the time, but I don't think that I do. Some songs were easier to figure out than others.

Really good album, can't believe I hadn't heard it before. Definitely warrants some re-listens, and will go on by Blues album rotation. Could definitely tell they were channeling B.B. King heavily at times.

I have trouble getting through this album, but I can't deny its historical significance. I don't necessarily have a negative feeling about it, I just also don't have a positive feeling about it.

Can't beat this album. One of the best, and I feel like the songs are some of the metal songs that really connected with me the most as a kid.

Really good album. I have been meaning to listen to the Radiohead albums for a long time, but I don't think they were on Spotify before. This is going to be a lot of fun. I unsuccessfully tried to listen to this album on my run with my earbuds, and realized that it was pointless. I needed good headphones to experience this.

The hits are just as awesome as I remember. I didn't feel like I got as much out of the rest of the songs that I hadn't heard before. The start and end leave put it on track for a five, but the middle brings it down.

Great album. I only recognized the first song, but I am glad that I listened to the rest of them. I was surprised that the rest of them were so popular as well, since I don't remember hearing them on the radio.

Solid album, I liked the feel of the album though I do not think I would listen to many of the songs individually.

I thought most of the songs were great in context, with the characteristic weirdness of ABBA.

It has some all-time great Christmas songs on it, but feels especially grimy with Spector's name all over it. It's clearly just another way of downplaying the acts and performers he used, in order to keep them reliant on him.

Really good live album, worth listening to as a package. Wish I had listened in one sitting.

It was too minimalist for me, and I didn't enjoy a lot of the alternative percussion. I went in expecting something heavier based on the album title, so maybe I would have a different experience if I knew what to expect.

Really enjoyed this album, will probably listen to more of this artist.

I enjoyed this album quite a bit. It is by no means my favorite music, but I might incorporate it into music I drive to sometimes.

Really nice album, glad I listened to it. Love the piano.

I appreciated some parts of the album, but for the most part I didn't want to be listening to it. I would call it above average BritPop for my personal taste.

A pleasant surprise of an album, and one I definitely wouldn't have listened to without this site. Always appreciate solid technique from a punk group. Will need to re-listen to figure out what tracks stand out by themselves.

The songs really rock, and it is clearly a great album, but it still doesn't fully connect with me. I think I would want to hear AC/DC live, as sometimes the potency of these radio hits is reduced when you hear them as background music your whole life.

I appreciate the album and love the artist. It doesn't knock my socks off, but it is a good album front-to-back. I'm split between three and four, but I'm feeling generous since I do actually enjoy/listen to this music normally.

Easy 5, peak Rush and always a fun album to listen to.

I like the consistent vibe of the album, and I think it is a good choice for many situations, like driving in the rain. I just listened to it at work, and didn't particularly enjoy it, also because of the tone. I don't want to just hand out fours, so I'll go with three, but I'm glad I listened to it.

Really good album. I'm used to some of the songs from playing their orchestral arrangements, so it was nice to listen to them in their natural habitat.

A very operatic album with great vocals and piano. Not really to my taste, but I'm glad I listened to it.

Pretty fun album. I'm surprised it was so off of my radar. I'm glad that I listened to it.

A really good jazz album, I enjoyed it the whole way through. It was a jam.

Good lord, some of those songs were bad. I normally like harmonica, but ideally the player would know how to play the harmonica. I had to take a few breaks during this album. High highs and low lows. I do appreciate some chaos, but when I actively don't like what I'm hearing, I just can't rate it highly.

Extremely impressive album. I happened to watch Oppenheimer a few days before listening, which definitely felt uncanny at times. Will be saving for future listenings.

It doesn't land as hard as Liquid Swords did for me, but I did start to enjoy the latter half of the album. I started making a couple of connections between the two albums, but the lyrics didn't spark a lot of thought; it was mostly just vibes.

Very fun album, flows together really well. I hadn't listened to most of these before.

Nice, laid back jazz album.

Not necessarily good, but weird enough to earn a three instead of a two.

Full of absolute bangers. I don't listen to R.E.M. often enough.

Great album, so many good songs that I keep coming back to.

Incredible album, and this was the first time I listened to it in album format. I know a lot of people that would give it a five, but I'm giving it a solid, safe 4; possibly the most solid four so far.

Fun album. It took me about half of the album to get into the right mindset.

Great album, I like it front to back. One of the few on this list I've listened to in album format in the past.

A lot of fun, easily a four. I enjoyed it just as much as "Songs in the Key of Life", which is saying something.

Not bad, but very difficult to listen to. Usually, such a skilled band is not difficult to listen to for me, but the song length being taken to the extreme factors in a lot.

Great album, and I had never heard any of the songs before, to my knowledge. Will need to snag myself a download of this one, since it is not on Spotify.

Love this album, so powerful from start to finish. I think I heard it for the first time a year ago, and it only seemed better this time.

Really fun electronic album, good from start to finish.

Solid Queen album, but it didn't stand out as much as others. Not much sticks with me from my first listen.

Bold album, and the highs were pretty good. Still, not the sort of thing that I actively want to listen to.

Fun album, thoroughly enjoyed listening to it.

Interesting songs that I wouldn't necessarily listen to again

I cannot deny that the music absolutely jams at times. I even enjoy a few of these songs, usually. However, the songs often come across as infuriating/annoying, mostly because of the vocals. Overall, I think it's good in moderation. Unfortunately, Spotify does not understand this at the moment, and Steely Dan is my most skipped artist.

I didn't hate it, but I didn't want to be listening to it and am glad it's over.

Good album, warrants a re-listen

It took a while to be in the mood to listen to this album, but it was good once I got there.

It had a few good moments that I appreciated, but it is not something that I would seek out listening to again; not that it was unpleasant. I honestly don't know what genre of music this is.

This one surprised me and was very enjoyable. I must like dance music more than I thought I did.

Why is this even a thing. I didn't hate all of the instrumentals, but could not stand the vocals. The instrumentals were still just a three maximum at rare times. The rhythm of the vocals was kinda cool at times, but not cool enough for me to enjoy listening to it.

Very fun album, I liked it start to finish. My favorite from this album generator in a while. "Only Happy When It Rains" is definitely a jam, and my favorite from the album.

The highs were as high as I remember, but I didn't really like the album front-to-back.

Absolutely love the first half of the album, and I honestly used to love "The Gumbo Variations" as well. These days, the second half is pretty rough to listen to, but not completely unpleasant. Still a big fan of the album.

Impressive album. I didn't realize who this artist was until now, but made the connection after that first song. I've had them on my list to explore for a while. Quite a few songs on this album were pretty good.

test

It grew on me a bit over time, but I thought the first half was pretty mid. It kind of came across as music for a charity concert for a while. I did enjoy the last few songs.

Great album start to finish. I hadn't listened to the full thing before, so I'm glad I found it through here.

Pretty enjoyable album, all things considered. I usually liked the start of each song, but did not have the endurance to really appreciate the album all in one go. It took a few breaks to get through. There were a few breaks in the songs that felt like they just totally switched directions.

Another album with some fun violin parts. I appreciated how chill it was; the stories were nice to listen to without taking too seriously. I'll probably listen to more of this band's work.

It had some moments that were very good, but it was certainly an active listen. Loved some of the violin parts. The start of the album was not my favorite.

Great album, was super fun to listen to all the way through.

It was a good listen, and is overall some pretty good background music

Has some all-time classics on it, and is filled out with some weird but okay songs. Giving it a four since the highs are so high, and there was at least one gem that I hadn't heard before listening to the whole album.

It wasn't really my thing, but maybe I just need a little more time with it.

Great album, start to finish. I did not actually the Gorillaz had been going for that long.

It grew on me over the course of the album. Warrants a second listen.

This is quite a long album, but I enjoyed most songs start to finish. Not sure if I've actually heard this band before. The cover art is kind of egregious. As with any 20-song album, it got a bit monotonous over time, but there was at least some degree of variation from song to song.

This album was really good, and a little mysterious. I am still a little confused by the premise, but they really nailed the sound. Never would have learned about this one without the albums generator.

I liked a lot of the songs. Part of the middle of the album fell flat, but I was pleasantly surprised by this one.

Pretty hardcore album, really good. I am kind of burnt out on the radio hits from this one, but I thoroughly enjoyed the other songs on the album.

Hilarious album cover, and there are some pretty good songs in there.

Super fun electronic album. I am definitely adding it to my rotation for this sort of music.

An awesome album. It had some great songs all the way through, and I only recognized one or two.

Great album, has some classics on it. I hadn't heard the cultural appropriation complaints until reading the reviews section, so I guess I'll investigate those a bit more.

Great album, loved the energy throughout. The album cover reminds me of Desire from Sandman.

I'm sure that it is historically important, and I do appreciate some of their other music. This album felt super lame, though. It was really slow, and the lyrics were pretty bland.

Definitely a very bloated album. I appreciate a lot of the songs musically, but the many of the lyrics sort of creeped me out.

I did not want to listen to this album, but I did anyway. I did not appreciate needing to hear about erogenous zones so much; the whole album was really horny. Glad I never need to listen to this again.

Very thick and versatile album. Not what I was expecting from what I had heard of it before, but the sound was really good through the different genres.

Great live album, one of my all time favorites.

The album wasn't grating to listen to, but it was just not my cup of tea. Extremely repetitive, and to be honest I don't really understand the language that DJs are trying to speak to me in.

Interesting concept, and not completely pointless to listen to, but I don't think it belongs on the list.

Cool concept for an album. Album cover is appropriately creepy. I could not really understand the majority of the lyrics, and felt like I would appreciate it more if I had those in hand.

Definitely a hit-heavy album. I do like a lot of these songs individually. I personally still prefer them as singles, and didn't really think that the album format really enhanced the body of work. Like, I was pretty tired of Billy Joel by song 3. That said, it seems criminal to give it less than a four.

Legendary album, it always blows me away how good the first half of it is. This is my third or fourth time listening to it this year.

Some of the better pop music out there. I didn't really love the second half of the album with less hits, though it was still fine to listen to.

Kind of lame and way too mopey. Could have used a few more months before getting another Neil Young album on this list.

Interesting due to its historical significance, but I'm not going to regularly listen to it. Pretty over-the-top last track in terms of being offensive; I really didn't notice too much out of the ordinary before that point, but I also wasn't paying too close of attention.

Super fun album, I really like a lot of these songs. The first song I thought really sucked, but after that point it got going pretty strong. Hadn't heard those demo tracks before, but it was kind of cool to listen to them once.

Pretty bold, and a few of the songs really grabbed my attention. I still wasn't in the right headspace to listen to this one at the time, so I really want to listen a few more times.

I hadn't listened to much Korn before, so I definitely learned a lot on this album. It felt very dirty to listen to, and there were a few bops. Don't think I'm really a fan though.

I enjoyed these songs quite a bit, and had a lot of fun with each of them. Still felt like an album, due to how much the songs changed over time; they were basically multi-songs.

That was gold. I want to buy this one now. Would be a great album to have around.

The first couple of songs were great, but I really couldn't stand "By the Time I Get to Phoenix". I listened to the deluxe version, which included the single version of this song. What I don't get is, they cut 12 minutes of monologue from the single version, and I have no idea what was missing; there was still an obscenely long monologue at the start of the song. Once the song started, it was fine; but the song still just invalidates the album as a standalone thing I'd want to listen to.

Great album, start to finish. Great vibes for the fall.

Quite enjoyed this album. It was only a matter of time before I stumbled on Beefheart; surprisingly hadn't listened to much of him before. Listenable with some great musicianship.

Musically satisfying front-to-back, and Dusty's vocals are really great. The lyrics get a bit repetitive, and you can tell that they were following some formula to try to get a hit, and in this case succeeded.

Started off strong, but seemed pretty boring by the end. Just not my kind of music.

Great album, solid tunes the whole way through. First track was definitely still the best. "The Blues Had a Baby and They Named It Rock and Roll" seemed like the weakest one to me; just a little bit too simplistic, but then again you had to appreciate Muddy Waters himself singing it.

Loved all of the songs that I knew from the album, and still could appreciate some of the ones I hadn't heard before. The Mr. Clean reference caught me off-guard.

Incredible album. The songs have a habit of starting off so insanely funky, they just grab your attention immediately.

It grew on me over time, but didn't consistently set itself apart. I really enjoyed "My Mind Spray"

Very dynamic album from start to finish. Would occasionally really vibe with one of the songs I hadn't heard before. Glad I heard the acoustic "Psycho Killer" version. I've probably oversaturated myself on Talking Heads going into this, so may be underrating it.

Some iconic vocals, but really only one good track. The reptile song was one of the better ones, but I definitely got sick of it listening to the B-Sides. Not terrible, just not something I'd listen to in album form again.

Lovely album. Would definitely listen to it again. Possibly on a road trip.

Very fun album, pretty polished in comparison to the previous one on this list. I liked it a little better, but already had my mind made up about that in advance I think.

Really smooth album. The hits had a little extra punch, but each song on the album was definitely solid.

I still don't quite "get" the music, but it started to grow on me a bit and wasn't unpleasant. It just doesn't grab my attention like I'm used to rap songs doing. Probably warrants a more active listening experience than I'm willing to give it right now.

Pretty fun, and a little creepy at times. There's definitely a time and a place for it.

Very fun album, and definitely best listened to in album form. I have a lot of appreciation for it, though it's not my go-to music.

Legendary album.

I didn't really get this one. Was super disgusting at times, and the hits didn't feel like hits to me.

Impressive album. Good lyricism, definitely making it one that I'll come back to. Vocals are also nice.

Really liked this album. The songs honestly don't feel short since they squeeze so much into them. Not grating unlike some of the other punk albums similar to this I've listened to.

Just a very satisfying album to listen to. Smooth tunes from start to finish. It seems odd to me that they named it "This Is Fats Domino" when it isn't a compilation album.

I don't mind listening to it, but it just feels like radio music. Mid.

Slightly more imaginative than the other Lana albums I've listened to. Lovely voice.

An odd mashup of genres. Not completely unenjoyable, but definitely not a type of music that I like. Wasn't really in the mood for it this week, which probably impacts the review.

Pretty entrancing album, and definitely unexplored territory for me. Didn't really take much away from it, but I did like it.

Impressive album. Hit the spot today. Definitely saving for some further listens.

I thought it might feel stale, but nah, it was pretty timeless. Possibly since I haven't listened to much radio in the past few years.

Fun album, just feels good to listen to. Has a lot of stiff competition, but it is definitely going into the rotation.

Solid jams. Definitely felt like a novelty, but I enjoyed listening to it at times. Feels like good background music.

The lyrics definitely got my attention. Very focused, sad album.

This album is awesome, just the sort of thing I was hoping to find with this list.

Great album. Feels like a major influence behind a lot of music that I hear today. The lyrics have a way of grabbing your attention, and are articulated pretty well compared to a lot of bands, which makes them more impactful in my opinion.

Lovely album, I liked it more than the previous Aretha Franklin album, though that one was still good. This one felt like it swung harder.

Not great, but not terrible. Gave me some historical context for other bands, so I'm glad I listened.

Pretty all over the place, with some bewildering lyrics and darker themes. I only really enjoyed the first hit track, but I'll give them credit for making me feel weird and give it a three.

This album definitely took me out of my comfort zone. I did enjoy the main hit, and thought it sounded a lot different than the rest, but I already knew that I liked that one. Possibly worth a relisten.

Consistently solid sound throughout the album. The second side seemed a lot more down than the first side and definitely got stale by the end. Overall, a great album.

Clearly a great album. Had a lot of momentum between the songs towards the end. I can't really stand to listen to the Beatles on shuffle; I'm glad they put so much effort into making albums/innovating them in general.

Definitely a violent and dark album at times. Didn't really stand out to me, though I did give it two listens after forgetting my initial impression. Bordering on actively bad, but not completely grating to listen to.

Great live album, up there with the best. Glad I found it through this list.

Generally a fun pop album to listen to. It really transformed over time, and the end felt nothing like the beginning. The one rap song was pretty bad, and there are definitely turns that I wish they didn't go, but I respect them for trying.

I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. Definitely a historically significant album, and they were definitely jamming for a lot of those songs. Wouldn't really be my first choice for anything, but not unpleasant.

Iconic album. Great imagery and vibes, though I can't figure out a lot of it. The musicality really ramped up in the second half, which elevated it for me; still not something I'd typically reach for.

Fun album, with several good songs on it. Probably too many skits, but they weren't terrible.

I started out my life hating the Beach Boys, and they've slowly grown on me after many years. That said, this album is garbage, and sets them right back to square zero in my mind. I'll give them credit for Pet Sounds, but this one is just bad.

Enjoyable album, vocals are just fun to listen to. Obviously loses some points on originality. Also has some weird lyrics, like many of these old albums. Very consistent quality from front to back. I think the right Elvis album could be a four, but this is a three.

Album started off crazy strong, and the title track is definitely my favorite. Lots of silly songs on here, but the music is still solid. Not on the top of what I reach for, but still really good.

Very poetic and biblical album. Somber throughout. I feel like I could get something more out of it if I sat down and analyzed the lyrics, but most of it was lost on my on a first listen. The singing itself was pretty unsatisfying, so I didn't get much out of this one on this listen.

Pleasant album, was a fun listen from start to finish. The most popular track didn't initially stand out to me that much. Possibly influenced by it just being a good album for my current environment at work; good background music.

Weird. Creepy. Evil-sounding. Bewildering vocals, very gravelly. I appreciate that it swung so hard for what it is. But would mostly only listen to this album in this context of seeking out new music.

Iron Maiden has never really clicked with me, and it still doesn't really. The album did grow on me over time, but I don't understand why they are so popular asides from their visual aesthetic. The music doesn't even really seem in sync with the visuals. Still, I enjoyed a couple of the guitar solos and got into a bit of a flow from it, so I'll give it a 3.

An album full of absolute bangers. Also felt short and sweet, somehow. Probably going to add it to the rotation somewhere, so definitely one of the bigger successes of this list. Pretty close to a five, probably could grow into it over time (there are a few 4s already that I regret not making 5s).

I liked it more than I thought I would. The lyrics were originally wacky, and some of the songs had a really cool/rainy tone, though there were some definite departures from that at various places. I like the concept. Worth a listen.

I think that this is the first Radiohead album that's really knocked it out of the park for me. I've sort of held off on listening to their albums since they weren't on Spotify for a while, but have been looking forward to them. This one is just amazing. Automatic 5. Love the vocal vibrato throughout the album; just doesn't get old.

Got me into a bit of a flow and was fun to listen to. Some high energy songs. Didn't stand out enough to go above a three.

Definitely my favorite of the older hip hop albums on this list so far. Kicked off strong, then surged back a few times throughout the record. Their message came across pretty well even though I didn't catch every lyric, which isn't always the case with a lot of music.

I get the complaints on length, but I think they had enough material to back it up, and enough dynamic playing to make it not necessarily boring too early. The lyrics are good enough to enable this sort of length, I think. Not my absolute favorite, but definitely scratches an itch.

They definitely rock. I liked this one less than "Apocalypse 91", which happened to come up on my feed just two albums ago. This one felt more like a political cartoon than anything; they wanted to say something, and were very specific about what they were focused on. A few of the earlier songs landed pretty well musically. I didn't like the second half of the album.

Really a pleasant album. I've never heard of these guys before, so I'm glad I found them. Some great starts to song, and a good sound throughout.

It lacked absolute bangers, but was a generally solid full of good flows. After all of the old school stuff that I've listened to on this list, it was a breath of fresh air. I was surprised by Ice T's Spotify numbers; I wonder if they're artificially low for some reason.

I enjoyed how bold and different the album was. The singer was great. Some of the buzzer-like sounds worked really well I thought, especially in grabbing your attention as they were changing direction. Pretty relentless.

It was pretty lame. Worse than I was expecting. Had no idea I was listening to the hits of the album when they went by. KISS has never been my thing, and it's reassuring that that's still the case.

This album was a roller coaster. I absolutely hated most of the songs until tracks 8 and 9. This is mostly because the singing got really grating and was just annoying to listen to due to being so high pitched. There is some impressive creativity going on in the album, but I only started to appreciate it until like 40 minutes in. I think this is due to the style of songs, not necessarily just getting used to it. Anyways, I do not recommend listening to this in album form, because it is too hard. I'm also banning myself from this music because it seems like the sort of music that would get stuck in your head and be extremely annoying. As such, it is too dangerous to have around.

I recently listened to "Low" for the first time as well, so I'll bring it up since it is sort of tied to this album. I enjoyed the vocals on this album a lot more than "Low", and generally found this one more fun at least on the surface. Clearly both albums were revolutionary, but I didn't necessarily get that perspective when listening to them now. It's a great album, but it doesn't personally really hit a home run with me. As such, Bowie will stay a "once in a while" artist.

Powerful album, impressive voice. I want to listen to this one again soon. The first song was also really interesting, it kind of faked me out at the beginning and really transformed.

One of the best live albums ever. Loved just sitting down and listening to the whole thing.

I've got to give this one props for actually having some good music in the middle. It sort of outsmarted me, in that the first and last tracks are kind of like tech demos and are just kind of annoying. However, I assume some of the same techniques were used in the middle songs, which were actually good. I wouldn't listen in album form again, but it wasn't as bad as I would have thought given the start.

I enjoyed this one quite a bit. It had a consistent vibe, though it did get a bit lost around track 10. The vocals were a little grating at times, especially in the higher registers, but were again consistent. I agree that the album is a great example of a band ignoring commercial influences and just doing them.

The opening/closing tracks are really iconic. The middle parts don't connect with me as much though. I probably need to do a more critical listening while not at work.

Enjoyable album. I liked the acoustic alternatives at the end. Definitely mildly recognizable, but not something I'd listened to outside of like maybe the radio before.

A solidly good album. Loved the opening waltz, but it didn't pick up much traction with me after that until the second half. It didn't match up with my expectations going in, so I think it would be good to give it a second listen now knowing that it's such a genre-spanning album.

It's a pretty creative album with a lot of nonsense-babble sounding lyrics. I found some of the songs unbearable, and the style was pretty all over the place. Tough to get into a flow with this one. Sort of a high 2?

I didn't like this one. It was trying to be super plane/understated. But the lyrics were just not good in my opinion, so it felt really flat. There are so many better country artists. A couple of the songs had a bit of pop charm, but overall as an album it was just not worth it.

It was a good live performance, and I got to hear a side of the Who that I hadn't before. They still don't fully click for me, but they brought a good energy the whole way and I generally rate live albums pretty highly.

Much more fun than the other Steely Dan album on the list so far. Just very smooth, it also helps that I already knew all of the hits on the album. It was also nice to listen to it in album form, because then at least you're mentally prepared for a lot of Steely Dan, something that is never the case for me when just shuffling music normally.

I'm mostly interested in this band because they definitely influenced some live bands I grew up around. That said, I don't really love taking a song out this long. They had a bit of instrumental variety, so it wasn't all bad. It's just not my cup of tea.

More pleasant than I was expecting. It grew on me after the first few songs. I enjoyed the music, but it was nothing special, which makes it a high three. I also deeply resent the last few seconds of the album, which was just like a high pitched buzz that was not fun.

Potentially worth another listen. Generally an enjoyable album. The album art was annoying at work, so I'm going to hold off on a relisten/deeper dive.

Great jazz record. I definitely want to revisit it when I'm more in the mood for jazz. It did kind of all run together, and demanded more focus than I was willing to give.

Great album. Had a high energy all the way through. The last song was pretty bizarre. I hadn't listened to anything but the hits from CCC, so it was nice to hear this one.

Not bad, not great. I enjoyed listening to it. This artist was definitely really far off my radar. It's tough because they sound a lot like other music I've heard, and I have no grasp of how original this album was when it dropped.

I thought it worked really well. It did a good job of having a nice variety, while still keeping a consistent vibe. I definitely want to listen to this one again sometime.

Sonically interesting; I'm glad I listened to it once. Probably the longest song I've seen with that many listens to start out. I did not look up any translations, but they were probably unnecessary. I don't think I'd listen to it again, but I did enjoy my one listen.

Right up my alley, and definitely one I'll want to revisit. I didn't get much from the lyrics or singing on the first listen, but I just loved the instrumentation and tone.

Great REM album, definitely right up my alley. I somehow had every song liked on Spotify already, even though I don't remember listening to this as an album before; probably just forgot. Lots of hits on here, but every song is pretty good.

Incredible album. I love how dynamic it is. I love how they alternate from a male to female vocalist throughout the songs. I didn't immediately love Sonic Youth when I first heard them a few years ago, but this one was definitely an A+ album from them.

Another great Sonic Youth album. I think it's kind of weird that I got these back-to-back. I may have been a bit burnt out on their music since I listened to the previous one twice, but I definitely liked "Dirty" more. This one was less of a masterpiece, but still a great album.

Definitely an innovative and dynamic album. I appreciated the variance between serenity and chaos. While I appreciate many aspects of it, it's not really my thing.

Surprisingly a really good album. The A side was straight fire, I thought. Their jams were just a lot of fun to listen to. British Rock has a lot of bands I don't like, but I guess it is worthwhile to keep charting out the territory.

Kinda lame, in my opinion. The hit is definitely a classic, but I wouldn't call it good. I don't get it.

A solid album with some great songs on it. Too chaotic to listen to at work, so I ended up listening in the car. It is less listenable I thought than the previous Pixies album, but still solidly good. Almost a four. Worth another listen.

Great album from front to back. Not my first listen, but I'm pretty sure it's gotten better since the first time I listened to it.

Many instant classic songs on here. Loved the starts to the songs, but not all of them continued to be good through the often six minute lengths. Hit or miss on being complete songs, but still mostly had something good to say about each one.

It's a fun album, and I thoroughly enjoyed many of the songs. The sound is just not consistent to me; like his voice will sound totally different from song to song. There was a random banger fiddle track towards the end. Overall, I don't think I'd listen to it in album form again, but it's still a nice bundle of music.

Not the most enjoyable to listen to, but Common did a great job getting his points across and I found the album pretty educational, as well as pretty clever a lot of the time. Because he nailed these key areas that I often complained about in other rap albums, I feel like it elevates him to a four.

It seems like they're having fun out there, and it's got an annoyingly contagious sense of fun. That said, it is aggressively mid in basically every other aspect. I don't really understand glam metal, but I didn't aggressively hate this album. It wasn't a total failure.

Inoffensive. Still feels like radio music when in album form, which isn't always the case. I don't really like it, and definitely wouldn't decide to listen to it on Spotify again.

Very formidable album, definitely going to listen to this one again. Better than I expected. I also didn't know the Foo Fighters backstory, so that was cool.

Great hardcore album. Good variety of songs, and TV Party was pretty hilarious.

I really enjoyed this album, and it is definitely up my alley. I was unsure of how many were original vs. covers. I'd definitely listen again, but I'm not sure if it's at the level of a 4 from a critical perspective.

A creative and original album. I know a lot about it from a podcast. Not the worst, but I don't enjoy listening to it.

Solid live album, but not better than the other live albums so far that I like more. Not sure how much James Brown is on this list or if he had any good normal albums.

Fun Earth, Wind & Fire album. I enjoyed it.

Always fresh. A really influential album that I like. I think the Prophet's Song is fine to listen to once, but has become a skip at times. Otherwise, flawless album.

It's a high three. It sounds like it has the potential to be a really great movie soundtrack or something, but it doesn't stand great on its own for me. Like, the highs are really high, but there was kind of a lack of direction lyrically and the jams went on for a really long time. I did appreciate some of them, but I wasn't loving the album.

Not unenjoyable to listen to, but didn't distinguish itself enough from similar sounds. I've also never heard of it, and it dropped while I was in high school, so I seriously doubt this will ever be considered an essential listen.

Pretty good album, full of radio hits. I didn't hate it, but it's never going to be my go-to. Still holds up better than most radio stuff I thought.

Loved it. The theme of the album makes so much more sense now; I had only heard the songs in isolation before. Not so perfect as to be a five, but still a great album.

Really great album. Glad that I listened to it again. Even better than I remember from last time.

An album that's very new to me. Felt fresh. Enjoyed the listen.

Really enjoyed these songs, and I think that they came out really strong. I definitely like the higher energy ones more, and thought they slowed down a bit in the middle and towards the end. Still, a great album that I'm glad I found through this.

Pretty fun album. High three.

An album that's intangibly good, but also pretty frustrating. Pretty dirty. Had no idea the two hits that I recognized were from the same album.

Great album. Am writing this at the same time as Knicks vs. Pacers 2025 #BeatTheKnicks

It had some lyrics that stood out at the beginning, but started to drag on pretty long. Some okay songs in the middle, but nothing that was outstanding.

It had some 4-star songs on it, but didn't seem like a cohesive 4-star album. I really loved the valet parking song. The simplicity of many of the songs was really great.

I finally started to get the album towards the last track "Automobile Noise". It was pretty cohesive and calming. Just not all of the songs were for me.

It was a pleasant enough album, but I didn't really get it.

Some of the songs were nicely unsettling. Pretty good musicality. A worthwhile album. Not going to be listening on repeat.

Crazily jam-packed album. So many songs were actually three songs, even if they were only a few minutes. I really liked the classical themes, as well as the imagery a lot of the lyrics conjured up. Very weird sounds at times, but overall a nice experimental album.

There were a few nice songs, but overall it wasn't really my thing.

Definitely some interesting experimental sounds in here. Not really my cup of tea. Still may be worth a second listen to try to digest the lyrics more.

I found this album much more enjoyable and approachable than the other two Led Zeppelin albums so far on this list. Very smooth and listenable.

Much better than I expected. I didn't know Pink Floyd's story much going into this, so it was cool to learn a bit about that. It makes me want to dive in more. Definitely need another listen for this one.

Fun album, and it connected the dots on a lot of hip-hop references I didn't know about before. It wasn't my favorite Public Enemy album, but was solid enough to escalate above a three.

Very fun album, I had always just heard these individually before.

I expected to like this album more than I did. It was pretty fun at times, but just didn't rise to the level of being great for me. Probably worth further investigation. Still a high three.

Gets off to a great start, and then still has some bangers later on in the album. Rocks really hard. High 4.

Super chaotic and depraved album. Was pretty fun, but went on for far too long. Lots of songs probably should have been cut.

There was a lot of good music on here, but it was ultimately kind of boring. Didn't rise to the level of great, but still a solid album to listen to once.

There were some songs that elevated it to the level of cool, but it wasn't really my thing. Still pretty good.

Calming and dreamlike. Wasn't in the right state of mind the first time listening to it, so would definitely be worth a re-listen. Fine, not great.

Far jazzier than I expected. Pretty smooth all the way through. I didn't think any of the songs were bad, but there was obviously only one popular one from the album. Not something I'd reach for.

It started off really strong obviously, and then just slowly regressed to mid. I don't think I'd listen to it in album form again, but it wasn't a complete waste of time to listen to it once.

Wow, that was like an instant classic. Really grabs your attention. Strong all the way through. I'm glad I found it through this list.

I had only listened to later Black Sabbath albums, so I was happy to finally visit this one. The ingredients were definitely all there. I enjoyed the album, but I didn't like it as much as later works. Still really great.

Some really good stuff in here. More of a compendium than an album. Still going to rate it highly since I appreciate bluegrass music.

A lot of the songs are really good, and it was nice to experience the album once, but I don't think I'd listen to it again with all the skits.

I thought the first half was really lame, and was prepared to give a two. Then I listened to the second half on another day, and thought it sounded pretty smooth. I don't really want to listen to the whole thing again, but it's nearly to a three.

Great album. I got a better idea for the whole picture by listening to it all at once. Still like the hits the most, but there were a few gems in there.

I didn't get much out of this one. Most of the songs were too long, I kept getting distracted and starting over. Just don't like it.

Not altogether unpleasant, but pretty experimental and unsatisfying.

It was a solid album, but it wasn't really groundbreaking for me.

Pleasant album. Consistent tone, definitely something that I would listen to again on its own.

Very intense album. It had some great moments where I was really into it. All of the participants really shone at times. It was more of a single multi-part song than an album. Definitely worth some more listens, but I'd probably reach for it when I feel like listening to a symphony, which is not very often.

It had some good moments, and some grating moments. The album cover was captivating. Some of the songs were interesting. But it felt more interesting than good.

I feel like I'd like this more on a further listen. Trainspotting was great. A times, it felt like they were going a lot of different directions and styles that didn't really go together in my brain, and that I wasn't expecting. But maybe it would make more sense on a second listen.

It had some creative lyrics that I appreciated for their imagery, but did not understand at all. Overall fine songs, but mostly I just know that this album exists now and will probably never think about it again.

I have a soft spot for Avant Garde music, but I did not really click with this one. It sounded really smoothly sloppy, which isn't something I look for but was very well executed. I spent a lot of time not listening to this album because I didn't want to sit down and dedicate the energy to do it. I appreciate that they came up with something strange and original.

Nice album, much less catchy than the last one but still pretty interesting.

Really nice, enjoyable to listen to. It's kind of funny that I got Bossanova right before a Bossa Nova genre album. I wasn't necessarily excited about seeing saxophone in the album description, but it managed to be pretty good in spite of that.

Fun album. Not sure if I listened to the right one; I ended up finding it on youtube.

I didn't really get much out of the lyrics, and a lot of them were really annoying and repetitive. The audio quality was really nice I guess, at least it was notably interesting when I started listening. Didn't really get much out of this one.

It was a pleasant album, but didn't really leave much of an impression. The story behind it is definitely crazy. It is fine chill/background music.

A classic. Great songs from front to back. Obviously don't like the man, but I can't not like this album.

It started off really weak in my opinion, but started to flow a little better by the end. Not really my cup of tea.

This album has really nice vibes and I could totally see myself listening to it again and keeping it in my back pocket for the right situation. Nice consistent sound with still a nice amount of variation throughout the album. It feels like a high three to me, but I'll give it a four because I've given some far worse albums threes recently.

Pleasant album. The vocals sounded a bit odd to me, but generally I really liked the instrumentation.

Some really nice songs in here that caught my attention. Some of them were better off as background music. Still a really solid album, I feel like I usually like albums in foreign languages.

The lyrics were kind of weird when I focused on them more on this listen, but that didn't stop the songs from sounding cool. I'm not a VEGETABLE

That was unexpectedly really good. I thought all of the songs were consistently solid, exploring a variety of themes while still rocking really hard.

Really nice album. Smooth, nice guitar playing. A great addition to learn about.

It had some good moments, but it isn't really up my alley. It's just a very odd sound.

A variety pack of an album. The songs all came on very strong, but I didn't really want them most of the time. Still, I respect the style and originality enough to give it a three.

Really nice jams. The Wikipedia article was crazy. Never heard of this group before, it was pretty great.

Excellent album, strong from start to finish. Glad I got the chance to listen to it all the way through again from this list.

Fire album. I wasn't expecting much from this one, but the sound was just really fun and it was a joy to listen to.

I had absolutely no idea what to expect here, but it actually did start to grow on me a bit. I struggle to understand "Buffalo Stance", specifically the buffalo aspect. "Kisses On The Wind" is a favorite on one of my weird local radio stations, so I was surprised that that one wasn't actually well-known because I totally recognized it. Overall not really my thing, but not bad.

Really really good. Not my favorite Radiohead album, but its best songs are up there with my favorite Radiohead songs.

Surprisingly a great album. I wasn't expecting much after the first song, but it got into some really nice grooves later on, and the lyrics were also really solid.

Really good. I can tell they're trying hard to sound different, and they do sound a lot different, but it's definitely the same band. Songs are a bit more focused at times. Great album.

Impressive album, definitely something that I would listen to again.

It's fine, but it isn't my cup of tea. The instrumentals are great, but I feel like the main point is supposed to be the singer.

It was fine. It had a familiar energy that wouldn't be unappreciated at a live show, but I personally wouldn't reach for it in an album.

I thought this album was pretty consistently good; I was surprised that its one hit stood out so much. It has a nice thematic feel, some pirate vibes at times, and the songs don't overstay their welcome.

Really fun album. I recognized the hits, and the rest of the songs were good at least through the first half. Really liked "Lust To Love"

It had some intriguing sounds, and was overall a nice album. "The Model" was definitely my favorite song. It was good to listen to once, but it felt like it took a lot of effort and I don't see myself reaching for it again.

There are some really high highs, and the lows aren't really that low. However, the amount of synthesizer can get really repetitive at times. This is an album I can get tired of very quickly. The overall theme seems really abstract. I didn't make it all the way through the B-Side today. High three.

Not fully unpleasent, but it just wasn't what I wanted. Not my cup of tea. There were some moments of some songs that I enjoyed.

The songs were polished enough to really grab your attention. I had no idea this guy made a music video. He definitely rocks.

I like this band, and it was interesting to hear their way earlier stuff. That didn't make it a great album, but I did learn a little bit about the south.

I thought this one was a lot of fun, especially to listen to in context of a full album. I didn't like the Sex Pistols as much when listening to them as singles.

I appreciated the aesthetic of the album; I feel like the songs are very compelling even if I don't love the vocals on their own. Some jumped out more than others, and there were definitely some longer songs that overstayed their welcome. Still, probably my favorite experience with The Cure so far.

There were a few nice, catchy songs on the album. But it didn't feel like it all came together as a unified album. Not terrible.

Instant classic. Full of really powerful songs that also complement each other. Has done nothing but grow on me over time.

I felt like the creativity of the lyrics came through in this one, and a couple of the songs were really nice. Better than I was expecting; have never heard of this group.

I liked it more than I expected. It was competently made. I still really don't like John Lennon. The title track was pretty good.

Lame. The album art is kinda cool

It was creative and had some nice variety. Good vocals. Couldn't really parse the message, but then again I usually can't.

I found the songs on this album hit-or-miss, but there were definitely at least four hits for me. Gotta respect the boldness of Jane's Addiction. Somehow I didn't mind the very long songs, and mostly preferred them to the shorter ones.

It was pretty inoffensive for a while, and then I got bored of it and really struggled to finish it. Especially with the nails-on-chalkboard third from last track. It was mid at its best, but averages out to lower. Funny band name.

Nice album. A lot of interesting things going on in the songs both musically and lyrically. Definitely an active listen.

It didn't really connect with me, but it wasn't bad.

It definitely had some innovative beats and really interesting sounds, and I can't even say that I hated it as background noise. It's just not my thing.

Really nice. It flowed together really well. Definitely felt less raw and more toned down than the other post punk albums on this list, but I didn't mind that.

Nice album. Every once in a while, you'd read a lyric and be like "huh". It kept things interesting. It wasn't anything outstanding, though.

This album to me is like peak junk food. I really like the way they use their voices; it reminds me of Pierce the Veil, except with less screeching. Which should be a good thing, but it also connects with me less than them. I don't mind listening to this album, and I could see it growing to a four over time, but it's not there right now.

One of my favorites. It's worth listening to the whole thing, but I do find that it gets pretty repetitive; still, it reaches a really high high with Big Iron and El Paso.

I thought the title track was really nice, and I'm glad that I have heard it now since there are so many jokes about the name. Nothing about the album was bad, but I didn't like it enough to rate it in the upper end of my range.

I enjoyed listening to this. It went on for a really long time. Ultimately background music to me, unless you were actually there in which case it would probably be way more fun.

I couldn't make head or tails of the story, and the flow of the music felt really awkward. I could sort of appreciate some of the rhymes and lyrics, but they never really flowed together to build up to anything I could actually like. Was ultimately pretty lame.

Great album. It was pretty weird and really solid throughout. I liked some lyrics more than others, but the tone of the songs was always really good.

They're nice catch songs, but they aren't for me. Super cheesy. But not the worst thing to listen to in moderation.

It's musically really appealing, and I love many of the songs. The lyrics/songs often just feel like pranks, but that's just Cream.

This album started off strong in my opinion, but immediately became really drab and low-energy until almost the very end. I would not listen to it in album form again. The ending improved a little bit, but I think this album is just not what I want it to be, so I'm giving it a harsh two.

They're good songs, just seem a little vanilla to me after being bombarded with them in cheesy movies for my whole life. I thought even the not hits on the album were solid. Probably just overplayed for me, otherwise would have gotten a higher score.

Awesome album, lived up to the height. Really weird creepy lyrics at times, but you had to really listen, because otherwise they sort of just washed over you. This website has definitely boosted my rating of The Cure a lot. For some reason, Spotify kept trying to skip songs, which was really annoying.

Really smooth, I enjoyed it front to back. I've seen Parliament live and enjoyed them a lot, but I think this is my favorite album of theirs that I've heard.

Really nice sound. I preferred the first half of the album, but the whole thing wasn't bad. A great find.

This guy's Wikipedia page was crazy. I enjoyed the album, but I don't think it will be sticking with me for very long.

The songs on this album oscillate from the cringest of cringe to really good. I personally hate "Highway Star", and then what the hell was "Space Truckin'". I found myself genuinely enjoying the songs in between. I struggle to rate it highly as an album, but this does reaffirm that Deep Purple has songs I like.

I rated this a lot higher on my previous listen, according to my Spotify likes. I like REM, but I find myself not listening to them very often. This one was too grating for today, but that's probably mostly on my current mood.

This album was awesome. I had no idea what they were talking about, but it was a lot of fun to listen to.

I found this very grating. There were a few moments that it all came together in a nice way, but I didn't feel it was worth sitting through the albums or songs to get there.

It was sort of like a musical collage. It kept me guessing. I liked some of the latin-sounding songs in the middle. It was quite a journey of an album; I don't know what to rate it, but I'll be generous and give it a four since it did something so unique. I would not listen to this not in album form, which is a big plus from my point of view.

It was an interesting concept, and I did enjoy parts of it. I can see why they made a musical out of it. Overall, it made me pretty bored, and was a little too long. I also can't really parse the lyrics as they come at me, so it's tough to connect many of the songs to the Illinois theme.

I liked the songs throughout the album quite a bit, but I wouldn't listen again. It was a high three in my opinion.

Really good. The songs just immediately grab my attention and stand out. I already had a song from the album liked, but I don't remember doing it. Absolutely an album I would listen to again.

I don't have a problem with this music, but I wouldn't choose to sit down and listen to it. The only one that approached being something that stood out and I liked was "Ali Maula Ali Maula Ali Dam Dam"

This was a really nice album. I appreciated when Parsons kept things uptempo; those were the songs that I liked the most. I can't stand the slower songs, partially because of how whiny his voice is. It's more fine when there are harmonies to go along with his voice. Most of this album was faster, so I feel like I appreciate him more now.

I found her voice comforting for a lot of the songs, but it wasn't blowing me away from top to bottom. Worth it to listen to, and may come back some time.

This was really great. I love live albums, and this one did not disappoint. I was impressed with the band, who I feel like I'd vaguely heard of but who hadn't really stuck with me. They're rock-solid, and I could totally see myself reaching for them more often than a lot of the other classic rock out there.

It earned a lot of points just by the sheer energy put forth by the band. Not all of the songs were really that good as a whole, but Janis's energy was incredible.

It is a very direct album, to the point of being almost just a speech at times. I think it rises above being just a speech overall. Good to listen to once, probably wouldn't again.

It's not my cup of tea, but it was situationally pretty good listening to it on a rainy day. Quite smooth.

I understand that this album is very ambitious and influential, but that does not make me like it. It feels like getting dragged to some wacky amusement park that I am not in the mood for. It's creepy. There are a few okay songs ("Sloop John B" I guess), but overall I dreaded listening to this album again.

I enjoyed this album quite a bit. I loved having the full sound there, and it demanded a bit of attention.

Cool that he made this, but it lacked luster and wasn't worth the listen in my opinion.

I find it comforting and pleasant. Sure, I associate it with Starbucks, but who cares. I liked "I've Got To See You Again", and don't think I had heard it before. Some of the other non-hits may as well have not been there.

This one punched above its weight for sure. Did not expect much going in, but was very entertaining and dynamic. Definitely worth one listen at least.

Great album, it starts and ends with the same strong theme, but I enjoyed many of the middle songs. It always leaves me wanting to listen to it again.

Prime Dylan. His floor is a 4 (at least for early career), and this one is far better than his floor. It became grating to me at work, but I've gotten a lot out of this album over the years.

I had somehow heard like zero of these songs before, and I kind of understand why. They are not my jam. I have to give it a three on artistic merit, but I wouldn't listen to it again.

They do a pretty good job of creating this dangerous creepy aura. They seem at their best when they're making weird creepy little dittys. Unfortunately they often went too far past the line of just being extremely painful to listen to. I got value out of this album, but I didn't enjoy it.

Strange album, still not fully sure what it is going for. But it was generally kind of funny and very smooth. As I said, I'm not sure how to contextualize it in relation to other music. I mean, obviously they're drawing on the Beatles a bit.

This album really grew on me over time. The loud crashing started to sound really fun around the six song mark, and I liked how there was still a rhythm/flow to it rather than completely falling apart. There were also some interesting lyrics which I need to dig into more.

It's an iconic sound, and some of the radio hits that I feel translate the best to actually being good in my opinion. I still don't really like the second half of the album, but I'm forgiving it in this case due to the sheer start power and the fact that it's not exactly lazy, just too much Boston.

I struggled to interpret the album fairly given that it's so lyrically heavy. It seemed really dark and sexual throughout, with a lot of references to the butcher. I didn't get a lot out of it, but could see myself listening again to try and figure it out.

Once again, I just don't think this is very good. It's pretty lame. It's not "Risque". Leave it in the past.

I felt like this album was pretty lazy, and definitely not up my alley.

Once again, a very refreshing yet wandering album. The genre felt like it was constantly morphing. I don't think I really had too many songs go above a three for me (Loved Loaded, Damaged, and Movin' on Up), but as a whole the album did something interesting, and for that I'll up it to a low four.

I wasn't necessarily looking forward to this one, especially since one of the last The Who albums on this list sort of haunts me. This was fine; it definitely excelled at some areas, but it wasn't my favorite. I didn't like "I'm A Man" cover; it felt weird.

I really like how smooth the music feels. I am definitely more of an Eagles fan than most. It was interesting to listen to "Hotel California" in the album context, because it was clear that the other songs added to its meaning.

This album is a lot of fun, and it was really nice to do my job while listening to it. That said, who names a song "Omega Amigo". Basically a stupid fun album, but I'm glad I found it. It sort of lost its charm by the end; too repetitive.

I like the simplicity of the songs, it helps his message come across way better. Hadn't heard most of these, was nice.

Definitely a creatively strong and opinionated album, which I appreciate. Not really my cup of tea.

A bold album with really great vocals. I've never seen the idea implemented where the same song is sung in different languages on the same album, but I love it.

Straight fire. Love Rush. Odd choice to combine all of those tracks into one, but makes it mostly just listenable as an album, which is fine with me.

This was a great album. It may have felt a bit stale by the end, but it's a good unique sound compared to what I've listened to recently.

I ran out of time to listen to the back half of the album. This didn't really distinguish itself, and was pretty mid. I didn't mind listening to it, but I wouldn't again.

I like this album. Great vocals, plus weird string instruments, which is automatically a plus for me. It's in the realm of a high three; definitely worth it to listen to and solidly good.

I liked this a lot more than "Born in the U.S.A.". It seemed more raw and less artificial. It was nice that there were some lyrically intense songs, and then some more primal songs.

It's just not my favorite, but it was nice to hear a few new Rolling Stones songs. Bop-wise, it started off strong and then died off a bit. Content-wise, it was pretty gross the whole way through.

There were a few moments in the album that I liked, such as "If There Is Something". The rest of the songs were sort of directionless and languid. I didn't like it as an album, but really it just wasn't for me.
