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.

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.
