Good but so bloated it's unreal

One of the most famous songs of all time, says it all, and it's a good album!

Not my music but I can respect the style

I like DMC but every song sounds the same

It was OK but hasn't aged well

Repetitive but catchy, fun vocals, very complex beats at parts

Technically brilliant, audibly not my taste

Great beats, first half absolutely rocks, starts to get a bit dull towards the end

Psychedelic, too repetitive, not something I would listen to

Brilliant for its time

2 Bangers and a shitload of fillers

One of the best albums ever made. Every song becomes a new favourite.

Dull, rock by numbers.

Not my genre, but I really enjoyed Rondo and Take Five

Not surprised the first track was the most popular, but an OK listen

Quite catchy, a little too much random shouting for me.

Although it's not their best, this album really shows off their musical prowess

Dad rock at its most confusing, it got better towards the end.

Makes dishwater feel exciting

Starts to trail off in the middle but some great tracks and a mix of genres

An enjoyable experience, amazing guitars, truly unique vocals

A classic, every song hits except Jazz Police.

Felt like an unnecessary show of ability, there was no song that sounded cohesive

Not their best

Simple but so effective. I was singing along before the song finished and that is rare

Catchy, strong beats, but feels like it doesn't change tempo at any point (too repetitive)

An interesting album, one of the best blends of guitar and horns I've heard. The drummer is phenomenal!

What an album! Jimi is a very underrated vocalist, the drumming on the album is also exceptional

Excellent guitar playing but I can't connect with it if I can't understand the lyrics

Singer is terrible, nothing exciting.

An OK listen, harmonica is brutal in places

Weird but not boring

Slight Christmas vibes? But the songs were too similar, no variety.

Masterpiece

Excellent album

Not bad on first listen, although doesn't compare to the smiths

The best thing about this album is that it's under 20 minutes. After two songs of going crazy it really starts to wear off.

This was much better than the other one suggested by this app. However, the harmonica sounds horrendous 9 times out of 10

Bat-sh*t crazy. Very strange composition

The second half is much much better than the first half. Redeemed by the second half.

Bloated. Felt like a lot of the songs could've been B-Sides.

Ok

Right up my street, a mix of psychedelic rock and Brit Pop

Great album. Excellent blend of hip hop and jazz.

Easily listenable, excellent rhythms. I can appreciate them for the unique corner of music they helped shape.

Voice is a struggle to listen to. Good lyrics, mix of styles across the songs.

Absolutely mental.

A good album. Starts brilliant, but it has its flaws. Trails off towards the end.

Brilliant. Every song hits.

Some great, some average. A very bloated album that could have been thinned out.

Very listenable with the exception of the title track.

Very catchy for a casual jazz listener

I was excited for this one but found it underwhelming. Vocals are atrocious in places and he has a good voice.

This would be a greatest hits for most bands.

It was the definition of OK, felt very safe.

Catchy but superficial

Relaxing album, nostalgic, great voice

Dreadful

Too saucy

Too dull for me, lyrics feel lifeless

Classic

Really good, but a bloated album

Amazing opening of an album, starts to deift by the second half. Amazing lyricist , amazing voice, the production is sometimes a bit repetitive

A slow burner, accidentally left on repeat and it was better on the second listen

I didn't get it

It's good but don't get the hype

Bored, stopped halfway

Not something I'd typically listen to, but great grooves and love the song that has country influence added

Nothing special

A Classic (Boy named Sue is one of my favs)

Soulful, drums are incredible, really liked it

It's distinctly average, I think I enjoyed the last track the most.

Classic

Listened to this on the day my son was born, it was an odd listen

Amazing

Really good would listen again

Really enjoyed it, will listen again

Enjoyed the first half more than the second, the perfect edge of pop

Some good songs, some too long, easily listening

Really interesting combination of jazz and African beats

Meh

I actually can't listen to it, it's unbearable

Very good to wash the dishes with! Too many instrumentals for my liking.

Expected it to be better to be honest

A little disappointed, I expected better

Great first listen, would listen again

Merry Christmas!

Too many songs but very listenable!!

Instrumentals were dull, but Heroes and the last track really stood out

Heavy metal innit

Great voice, but some underwhelming songs in between

Very fun listen

Surprisingly good, was expecting worse, but it didn't blow me away either.

Bloated but good

Surprisingly OK

Catchy as hell, I've bookmarked some songs from this

Some great songs and some absolutely unnecessary songs

Very good listen, didn't realise how many songs were his

Decent!

Dull

Atmospheric in places

A lot more listenable than the previous recommended Rolling Stones album

I like DMC but every song sounds the same

An OK listen

A local classic, Digsy's dinner is a bit shit

A good listen

Need to listen again

Not a great voice but listenable

It's an instrumental album

Bland

Absolute bop

The Man doesn't miss

Classic

Enjoyable listen

Excellent, short and sweet

Good, for it's time

Noise

Catchy beats, Soft Play should expect a letter in the post

Most average band on earth

A decent listen, she has a great voice but it isn't very different to her other album on here

Bland, formulaic, boring

A good fusion of genres!

Great background listen

Wow!

A good background listen

Meh

A classic

Good listen but not genre defining

Ok

Crazy

Weird

Class

Really good fusion of genres

Shite

Good, grunge??

Will listen again

I wasn't blown away

Might need to listen again

A good listen, that's one hell of a monologue though

Pleasantly surprised

Not my genre but an enjoyable listen, you can hear what he us saying

I mean it's cheesy rock

Ok

Not bad!

Meh

It's Duran Duran...

Wow, and it's nearly 60 years old!

Wasn't on Spotify, listened to Pieces of man instead, absolute quality

An enjoyable listen but it highlights how basic some of the songs are

I enjoyed it, more atmospheric than Urban Hymns. But Urban Hymns still takes the crown for me, its generational.

Reviews were right

Amazing for 1969

Good "listen while you work" album

A bit basic past Teenage Kicks

Pretty good! Ignore the Eagles haters

Unique and simple at the same time

Distinctly average

It was OK, you can hear a lot of Bowie in this

A good listen but not mind-blowing

Experimental and weird for its time

My worst nightmare

I can respect the genre but at the same time it's cringeworthy

Classic

Good but it's not Songs in the Key of Life

Blues is blues

Caught me by surprise it was a great listen

Some great songs, enjoyable listen

Very enjoyable listen

Hard to access but from what I've heard it was quite good!

Fun and weird!

Boring

Lifeless

I really liked this. Note to self: listen again!

Deserves a 5, I've listened before but this time I properly listened. Lyrics are simple but somehow fresh.

I was waiting for it to end as it was very long, but it was a good listen!

I appreciate that music is art, but I can't imagine anyone thinking "ooooh ill listen to Ghosteen today" (and I listen to radiohead)

3 stars for being a good pianist

Nothing really stood out

This guy is a joker!

Actually enjoyed this, I can see why she gets plaudits

A great rap album if not disturbing

Quite food!

Enjoyed it! Always loved Holding Back The Years, it's a beautiful song

Yeah it's darn good

It was OK

Short!

I will listen again

Some good tracks, voice is shocking

Some were bad, some were excellent

Love Led Zep, not a 5 star album though

Need to listen again

Nirvana rip off and it didn't blow me away

Didn't make me want to listen

Some interesting adaptations

A lot of heavy lifting from the title track

Didn't care for this

Ok

Really unique and deserves its place on the list

Average

Enjoyed it but nothing stood out

Haunting voice but he should have been a better father

I can respect the cultural significance and production of this album, some unnecessary misogynistic songs knock it down to 4 stars, but it ain't my scene

Got better towards the end

Not my music but I can respect the style

Wow

Just darn tooting good country

AVERAGE, voice is horrendous

Best example of Irish fusion

An enjoyable listen

It gets an extra star for that weird German accent song

I respect her unmistakable sound buy why have multiple albums they all sound the same

For all that effort it's fairly average

Fun!

Accidentally listened to the rework but I still enjoyed it!

Good for a live album

Good jazz!

I really liked the drum patterns in some of these songs

You had to be there

Every Dylan album im thinking "oh god not again" but it always ends up alright, it's like Gammon. Also, I want to shove that Harmonica up his arse.

Did I really need to hear this before I die?

Fun

People rating him as a person let's hope they did the same with MJ

Brilliant

A good laugh

Dark!

Bizarre but respectable

Just madness and not much thought

Respect to it for its time but it nearly made me fall asleep

Voice was too heavy for me, but the melody was GOOD

Although it's good you can see their formula appearing in a lot of songs and the variety wanes thin

90 minutes of my life I'm never getting back

Punk by numbers

They are amazing songwriters

Not my genre but instantly a bop

It was a psychedelic era, and this was just one of those albums, it was OK

I liked this and I can't really explain why, there was a ska beat song which had me bopping

Some albums define a period of time. This album does that

Fun to listen but didn't find it memorable

Groove is in the Heart sticks out like a sore thumb

Where the f*** did Monday go?

Dull, Mrs Robinson stuck out. Second half got better.

Bopping in the sun but it didn't grab me

Perfect example of that very specific genre, nice to listen to in the morning

Really enjoyed this one, note to self: a good work album

Great harmonies, and California Dreamin' was a banger

Enjoyed it, for how old it is, it's still a good listen.

Lovely pre iron maiden stuff, but why a live album?

A polarising album which is reason enough to be on the list. Also there's some absolute head-bangers on this stop worrying about the lyrics (if Hot Dog wasn't on it people would rate it higher)

An OK reggae album?

Better than the other pavement album!

Some good songs, some get lost

This was interesting and I would listen to it again (which is saying something compared to a lot of the other albums)

Average, last song was the best

It was OK to listen to

Meh, maybe it was influential I don't know

Precursor to Pet Sounds? Just give me Pet Sounds?

I'd give this 4.5, catchy beats, he's got a good scream

It was OK, I enjoy psychedelic but it didn't blow me away

It wasn't bad, a lot of 1-star reviews sound pretty biased. It's not something I would listen to again personally but to say it's 1-star is mad.

It's understated with a powerful message and that voice is so unique!

Classic disco

Not my thing but cemented the genre, would've preferred chase and status or disclosure

Ace of Spades is great but the problem is their music is formulaic. Same song on repeat.

Dull and I can't understand the appeal of thrash metal, there's no variety (apart from one song)

I've now realised I like Paul Simon

More arty than music

Good ambient music, I think I like trip-hop?

It is a very good album

The album tracks are wildly different to the single tracks, which just gives it a 'filler' vibe

Did I really need to hear this album before I died?

I enjoyed it, calming influence

A very good album that captures a mood

I can appreciate her voice and the variety in the songs, but the second song on the album took a star off for me

Classic rock gets boring

Some great songs, great story behind it too.

Not as good as their artistic predecessors

Formulaic and unoriginal

It seems to be a huge influence on post Punk so it gets 3 from me. However, it didn't really stand out and it had that very typical post Punk voice

Good!

No one would say "ooooh let's put a bit of Medulla on..."

It was OK but hasn't aged well

Different, and some very memorable songs

I found this ok, I was expecting it to be horrendous

Enjoyed it at first but half of it sounds like demo tracks

It's not my taste

Good rock, not 5 though

Not bad

A strong album with some big hits, but sadly not 5

I don't any other album like this

Can you dance to it? Yes Can you rock to it? Yes What's cheese got to do with it?

It was just nice

Strange to hear a 60s record from the 00s

Just sounds like any Talking Heads album

One if the more accessible international albums

Uninspiring

Clearly influential but it's not something I would pick up again

Average

Just no

Somewhere in this album is probably a 5* album. However there's just too much fluff to ever take it seriously

Severely out of date ideologies, probably one of the original trolls of music. He is however an excellent lyricist.

Some classics, a few fillers

Very catchy, and varied for a hip hop album

I was looking forward to this one but just disappointed at how rappers instantly go for the cliche racist/misogynistic lyrics. I want a rap album that's just quality and not padded when there's nothing else to rap about. Hard to give a rap album 5* for this reason.

Dull

It's got some excellent songs and some fairly average songs that I just don't get. His voice is obscenely good and he should be making more music than what he's already achieved

I may revisit this as I enjoyed some songs on it

This was probably seminal for indie music but now it is a very average REM album

One of the worst radiohead albums and it's amazing

Not my thing

Pretty listenable, but first metal album? I think Led Zepp beat them to it

Wow, the production is amazing for an album from 1970 and some of the openers give me chills!

Cheesy and it knows it. I'm all for it.

Trip hop is cool but this was too repetitive for me

Love this album, I remember the CD being naturally really quiet and having yo dangerously pur my speakers on max just to hear it. I've never really focused on the guitar work before but Mark Knopfler's guitar playing is sublime

Very long chill music

This is why I use the generator. This album is so familiar yet so strange at the same time. His lyricism is mad, and he has a kind of Alex Turner thing going on lyrically. I preferred Scott 4 but this was a very unique listen.

Strong album with some ridiculously fast pace, loved it!

Dull and lifeless

Fun to listen to the 17 minute track otherwise the rest was very run of the mill

I really really wanted to like this. It has a cult following in Manchester and I know the story about the band and the production of the album, but it's just a one-hit wonder album (especially when There She Goes is wildly different to the rest of the album)

Disjointed, one half is rock and the other half is electronica?

The kind of album you'd blast in your back garden on a sombre but sunny Sunday

I get it, he's different. But he does not warrant the number of albums he has on this list, many songs feel like they were written, recorded, produced with little love and I get the feeling of records being churned out with this guy. It's the little details that make a song and there are no little details.

This was different and I really enjoyed it!

Loved this, captured Keith Moon's exceptional drumming

Really.enjoyed it and I will listen again

This album would be amazing if produced in 2024, it's difficult to appreciate all the layers to it

Wow!

Hasn't aged well but title track is good!

Great album with iconic songs

Very very good, but is it perfect?

This was unexpectedly fun!

Their magnum opus didn't grab me and neither did this

Mesmerising

First half was good

Wow, lived this, so simple but speaks to the heart

Wow Stevie Wonder does not miss. The first track is unbelievably modern for a 50+ year old track

Good jazz

Funky

Boring I'm sorry

Horny bugger

Classic

Had a cool feeling but nothing I'd really go back to

Unashamedly 80s, and I'm here for it

Good album, I don't think it's going to bring me back though

People saying most average album ever and then giving it 1 star is amusing... I just feel like this is a run-of-the-mill pop album, but it seems to be worshipped as an all time great. The Fame by Lady Gaga is better. Side note: Zane Lowe ranking this as greater than Revolver by The Beatles is absolutely wild.

It's good when a band release a 4* album... it's amazing when a band releases a 5* album... it's radiohead when radiohead release a radiohead album

There were 2 standout tracks for me and the rest felt like background noise

Serious funk, I really enjoyed listening to it. However, this is a perfect example of a bloated album preventing a potential classic.

Enjoyed it, might give it another listen

Makes Bon Jovi sound mint

Good pop jazz, didn't stand out.

Not my scene, at all.

They're a bit formulaic, I'm on to them...

Run-of-the-mill. Songs for the deaf is better in every aspect.

Good but so bloated it's unreal

It was just OK, gets a bit lifeless and repetitive after a while.

I enjoyed this one and will come back to it!

3 stars for the drum fills alone. Prog rock is strange.

Unbearable

I really enjoyed this despite not being a country fan

It was just OK

Dylan's best and I don't really like him

There's a reason why album's need a change of pace

Jazzy jay

Recency bias? It's OK, it's weird, not a fan of his voice

Every great singer has their mad moment

Not my music at all but was interesting to listen to

Didn't really strike a chord with me

It's a classic to my youth so I'm biased

I don't get it

Had a cheeky rock n roll to this

Surprisingly enjoyed this, will listen again

Nandos

Very accessible, but you can tell there's no substance

Shite, listened to MF DOOM instead

Interested at first, repetitive by the end

This was interesting and will listen again with a sober head

More interesting than the other White Stripes album on here

A metal album I could actually listen to!

One of the most famous songs of all time, says it all, and it's a good album!

Repetitive

Listenable, felt like a crescendo was on the horizon and it would just fizzle out

Drummer is good but my god did every song sound the same

Mad album but I respect the variety

Meh

Nice to listen to

I get the idea but could've been executed a lot better

Dross

French Scott Walker?

Enjoyable!

Moving out and tidying up to this album was a bop

Once youve heard one you've heard them all

One of my favourite albums, a perfect blend of Britpop / Indie / Psychedelic music

Average

2* for the drums

It was OK

I don't get it (voice is really bad on this one)

Almost protesting the generator system with this one as it clearly wasn't meant to ve listened to in a day. Becomes formulaic very quickly.

Shite

Maps is good, rest is OK

A very strong album, Elvis sounds more like a singer than a performer in this album

Drags a bit at the end but full of great songs. The cover of Comfortably Numb is Uncomfortably Good!

Grime is a weird genre, but this is probably the most accessible grime album and I respect that he created this so young, superb talent.

Wow, it's mint. The 12 minute song though...

Cafe music

It was jolly

Not bad tbf recognised the first two

Very soothing

Quite enjoyed this

Has all the makings of a great rock album, but it misses the mark

Average

Brimming with youth

I like this it's different

Better than I thought it would be

It was OK, I get why people say every song sounds the same though

Enjoyed it will listen again

Held back by the expectations of its generation

Strange

Shite

Maybe it's because I had a string of 1-star albums before this but I really enjoyed it and her unique voice

Funky

Just misses the 5. Amazing voice, amazing lyricism, the instrumentation left me wanting more though

I want to give it 5*, but his voice does not provide the depth on these songs. An amazing album.

Once you've heard one you've heard them all

Really?

Strange but listenable

Good old fashioned rock n roll

Didn't enjoy this at all and I've enjoyed most of the jazz on here

Not my scene but 21 questions is a tune

It's good but not perfect. It deserves its place for its interesting twist of indie music with a vintage 60s feel

Utterly bizarre

Nostalgic for me, second half of this album is so strange though

The 1001 not only has good albums, but albums that define a genre. Even though the genre sucks, this does define it

Enjoyed this will listen again

Loved it

Strange but very cool for its time

Will give this another listen

Distinctly average

It was unconventional reggae and still had rhythm, it deserves to be on the list because it's so weird. Just not really my cup of tea.

Enjoyed parts of this

Good but doesn't top some of the other hiphop on here

Could've been better if it wasn't TOO LONG

Actually really enjoyed it. A perfect example of well crafted pop with just enough variety to keep it interesting

Meh

World music is always hard to judge, but I didn't hate it

Enjoyed this more than I thought I would

Another album that was just OK

I liked this and might revisit

One of the most influential albums of all time. An easy 5 for Tomorrow Never Knows alone.
