Oct 06 2023

Intro is strong gospel ish Monster - nicki minaj So appalled - jayz, very tight lyrically Lags and lulls in the middle and end, feelin' this is a 3 Very well produced , but trying too hard

Hot Fuss by The Killers
Oct 10 2023

Unusual for a band to have so many hits on their first album. Catchy and fun and full of nostalgia for me.

Joan Armatrading by Joan Armatrading
Oct 11 2023

Great album, just not for me!

Hail To the Thief by Radiohead
Oct 16 2023

Okay, brooding, long winded but still good overall

Orbital 2 by Orbital
Oct 18 2023

Easy car listening. Background ambient. Monday is the start of good gettings. Halycon on and on, of course is amazing.

Document by R.E.M.
Oct 19 2023

Only getting a 3 due to the bangers.

At Budokan by Cheap Trick
Oct 20 2023

Only *that* one song that's any good

Back In Black by AC/DC
Oct 24 2023

The songs are hits. The production is good. It has withstood the test of time. I just don't like ac/dc.

Shalimar by Rahul Dev Burman
Oct 25 2023

Fantastic album. The kind of music I signed up for when I downloaded the app. Nothing I would have sought or listened to on my own but so fun and good and clocking in under 60 minutes. Spaghetti westerns, bollywood sounds

Cypress Hill by Cypress Hill
Oct 26 2023

Good. Funky. Never heard before, rap and stoner rap..and something about pigs and donuts. Kind of a tired trope after the 6th-7th song. Glad I got to listen to it.

Very by Pet Shop Boys
Oct 27 2023
Axis: Bold As Love by Jimi Hendrix
Oct 31 2023

First album by jimi I've listened to. And that last track is brilliant.

Locust Abortion Technician by Butthole Surfers
Nov 02 2023

The first bit of the album is a slog to get through. Those last four tracks...starting with o-men, are a tidy noisy mess.

The Bends by Radiohead
Nov 06 2023

Radiohead - droning but has movement

Nov 10 2023

It starts as a pop album but then you can really hear the reverb and where pink floyd would eventually go.

Band On The Run by Paul McCartney and Wings
Nov 13 2023

Nonsense pop songs but a fun time

Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots by The Flaming Lips
Nov 14 2023

The Flaming Lips are best listened to at a concert. So much energy in the crowd and the band. This album is good, and the first one I heard or listened to, but...this is one of those albums you listen to once or twice then put away.

Juju by Siouxsie And The Banshees
Nov 15 2023
Black Metal by Venom
Nov 16 2023

They really lean into the heavy death satanic metal theme. If they weren't pioneers of the genre I'd think they were a parody band.

Rubber Soul by Beatles
Nov 21 2023

One of the Beatles best.

Ingenue by k.d. lang
Nov 22 2023

KD Lang has a beautiful voice. Very soothing, and lush. The songs are..very smooth country more so than pop country. But there are some standouts, miss chatelain, constant craving (this song has endured), season of a hollow soul.

Olympia 64 by Jacques Brel
Nov 24 2023

Beautiful singing and songs. Is this something to hear before I die? Probably not.

Beautiful Freak by Eels
Nov 27 2023

Album is good but not 1001 albums to live to for listening.

GREY Area by Little Simz
Nov 29 2023

Under 40 mins listening time. Slick lyrics and song writing. Definitely adding a few tracks to normal rotation

Harvest by Neil Young
Nov 30 2023

Unavailable to listen to

The Cars by The Cars
Dec 04 2023

Four radio hits on one album!

Blue Lines by Massive Attack
Dec 05 2023

Amazing album. Up and down, left and right.

S&M by Metallica
Dec 06 2023
Greetings From L.A. by Tim Buckley
Dec 20 2023

"i love me a black woman" wow. Racist, and crass. Funky sound tho.

2112 by Rush
Dec 25 2023

Long. Just too long prog rock. Vocals are amazing ...but it drags even if it is under 40 mins.

Horses by Patti Smith
Dec 27 2023
1999 by Prince
Jan 09 2024
16 Lovers Lane by The Go-Betweens
Jan 10 2024

A little Morrissey, a little U2. But hella boring with it's attempt

Nick Of Time by Bonnie Raitt
Jan 11 2024

Some bangers but a synthy bore otherwise. Maybe needs another listen

Guero by Beck
Jan 26 2024
Kala by M.I.A.
Feb 14 2024
Ctrl by SZA
Feb 15 2024
Mothership Connection by Parliament
Feb 22 2024

Just okay. Funky for sure. Not really for me and not a life changing experience

Rio by Duran Duran
Mar 12 2024
Heroes by David Bowie
Mar 13 2024
Amnesiac by Radiohead
Mar 21 2024

Radiohead is radiohead

Time Out by The Dave Brubeck Quartet
Mar 27 2024
Bluesbreakers by John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers
Apr 04 2024

So so boring and bland

Exodus by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Apr 19 2024
Darkdancer by Les Rythmes Digitales
Apr 24 2024

Sounds like a bad 90s film

Third by Portishead
Apr 26 2024
Murmur by R.E.M.
Apr 30 2024
Violent Femmes by Violent Femmes
May 06 2024

Yes you know these songs.

Live! by Fela Kuti
May 08 2024
Bookends by Simon & Garfunkel
May 10 2024
Stankonia by OutKast
May 13 2024

Had higher expectations as there are very recognizable songs here. Nope.

She's So Unusual by Cyndi Lauper
May 15 2024

Lots of bangers. Good thru and thru.

Oedipus Schmoedipus by Barry Adamson
May 16 2024

Album is good. Not sure i needed to listen to it before I die....but here we are.

The Age Of The Understatement by The Last Shadow Puppets
May 31 2024

Thought this was a bad 60s mod rock album at first. To find out it was made in the 2010's. Oof. Dated, unappealing.

Elephant by The White Stripes
Jun 04 2024
Hearts And Bones by Paul Simon
Jun 06 2024

So many albums on this list are just kind of bland. It sounds like a generic folk, rock album for the time period it was conceived. Boring. Next.

Abraxas by Santana
Jun 11 2024

He's good. I just dont like Santana

Real Life by Magazine
Jun 13 2024

Glam rock a la bowie t.rex, and definitely punk and new wave.

Beauty And The Beat by The Go-Go's
Jun 17 2024

This is a pop punk album. The punk influences ring out like a siren. And it's an easy 35 minutes

1989 by Taylor Swift
Jun 21 2024
Bug by Dinosaur Jr.
Jun 26 2024

Maybe it's a time capsule. Hasn't aged well. Best listened to in 1988. Much better albums that encompass the time period and sound.

Screamadelica by Primal Scream
Jun 27 2024

Hodgepodge of influences and styles. The leas vocals the better the music is.

Paris 1919 by John Cale
Jun 28 2024

Boring, plain. Not terrible.

Legalize It by Peter Tosh
Jul 05 2024

Weed, cops, weed.

Drunk by Thundercat
Jul 12 2024

Don't know what I expected but this certainly wasn't it. I wanted to like it on premise alone - but I feel it's weird just for the sake of being so. No soul in it. Not challenging, not consistent just sounds like they threw sounds against the wall and called it a song

High Violet by The National
Jul 19 2024

Boxer was good. This is just the same thing, generally artists need to grow, captivate. Just boring.

Play by Moby
Jul 25 2024
KIWANUKA by Michael Kiwanuka
Aug 05 2024
Viva Hate by Morrissey
Aug 08 2024

Ive like some smiths songs and ive never liked an entire smiths or morrissey album. But i like this - even if he is a twat.

Be by Common
Aug 13 2024
Superfly by Curtis Mayfield
Aug 14 2024
Cut by The Slits
Aug 21 2024
New Wave by The Auteurs
Aug 22 2024

Why are they always droney

Definitely Maybe by Oasis
Sep 02 2024

Bring it on down is bewt on the album. It's okay, very set to the 90s sludgey guitar sound.
