On paper I should like it but nothing really stood out. -1 tax because it's a compilation album

its christmas

Lidl nirvana

very unique and interesting sound

All sounds the same

very enjoyable despite the language barrier

really enjoyable pop rock album - car radio/cd type

better computer

German noises

very relaxing music

drags a bit too long but very enjoyable listen (if you don't mind his voice). Mix of heavier and softer songs

boring

very 80s

dad punk

Boring

Standout: Mayonnaise

a bit too corny

That's just sad man

obnoxious af

drags on too long

why is there 2 hours of this

...incredible

2.5 rounded up

dad rock of the good kind

I finally learned what PhD stands for thanks Kanye

immaculate vibes

All along the watchtower = good

3.5 rounded up

2.5 rounded up

sad (and sometimes corny) rock I would expect to hear on the radio, but still very much listenable

They can jam that's for sure. 2.5 rounded up

intriguing and wtf at the same time

at some point the boring starts to outweigh the good

Not my thing but the sound is consistent and there are a 1-2 songs that get you nodding your head and tapping your foot

fun listen

boring electronic music

3.5 rounded up

did not understand a single word but still very enjoyable

I assume drugs are a must to enjoy this music

the raindrops (x47)

I guess "Drive" is an okay song but the rest is terrible

absolute snoozefest

can appreciate the playing but this is clearly not for me

slightly annoying voice and pretty boring

Classic dad rock, iconic voice, short duration. The non-hits are a bit forgettable

these guys are pretty good

chill soft rock tracks

Lyrics are cringe (especially in the first few tracks). Feels very dated

Half fun, half annoying. I already knew Maps which is the best track and sounds nothing like the rest of the album. Standout: Man, Maps

It all kind of sounds the same and blends in to each other. Standout: Blitzkrieg Bop

Just chill reggae, nothing too interesting.

rip eddie

Eh it was alright I guess. Standout: Song 2

Standout: Tutti Frutti

rip eddie (for the second time this week)

Really funky and enjoyable. Second half was worse than the first. 3.5 rounded up

Some lyrics are questionable to say the least. Prefer him with the Smiths. Standout: First of the Gang to Die

Blues with lots of features

Quite funky and great guitar playing. Production feels a bit cluttered at times but overall very enjoyable. Standout: When Doves Cry

Start remind me of a bad version of Daft Punk but as the album progressed it slowly became just noises

Beautiful voice and the covers are well made.

Honestly this was a bit weird

Surprisingly enjoyable, did not expect this. Bluesy guitar tunes

Long ass instrumental thing

Standout: 39' (made this a 3 for me)

incredible voice

reminded me of the clash, 3.5 rounded up

Side 1 was solid but side 2 starting from Coconut was meh

I like this type of lo-fi chill music

From the first few words of the first song I thought to myself "damn this will be a LONG 1 and a half hour". Then the super loud harmonica started playing. Jokes aside yes this was long and tedious but side 2 was better at least so I will give it 2.5-3

R2D2's favourite

punky sound with nice guitars

sounds like weird era beatles and the who combined

title track is awesome but the rest is just ok I guess? do we really need 3 tracks of ambient instrumentals?

moody indie rock - a bit forgettable

fantastic debut fantastic band

this was very annoying but I have heard worse in this list so it can have a 1.5 rating

nice background music

a tad bit cheesy but very pleasant - I enjoy easy chill dad rock

It's all pretty much the same thing

This felt louder than other jazzy albums in this list and the guy was clearly having a blast - 3.5

meh country

this is an album that is front to back listenable but nothing really sticks out - 3.5 rounded up

the only reason I won't give this a 5 is because I won't listen to it again - great album the atmosphere really makes it

Waaaay too long list of meh beatles songs followed by lots of jamming. Guess I am still a Paul guy 2.5 rounded up

Wow this has an unusually high rating and "Everybody wants to rule the world" is the most mid song ever. Surely their less popular songs are better, right? No

I don't understand the fascination with this album, it's just grunge Standout: Something In The Way

This is a combination of mostly dance/electronic tracks you could hear at a party and the music that plays 24/7 at gyms. I liked the few indie-y songs with the switchups more Standout: Now There Is Nothing

Pop-y synth tracks, I think I liked the other album better because it had more guitars and better drumming Standout: Hysteric

This is probably the best Dylan album I've heard yet. Harmonica is not as prominent and not obnoxiously loud and the storytelling is good. I would have given it a 4 if it wasn't for YEEEEEEEEEDIOT WIND Standout: Tangled Up In Blue

smooth but uninspiring

Not the best Bowie album in this list in my opinion, I enjoyed the occasional funkyness but overall it is a bit forgettable

This is the type of music some boomer would joke about being dangerous when driving because it makes you go fast

I was tired of the britishness by the time the 3rd song finished Standout: Our House

boring 80s ballads, could have gone fine without ever hearing this

very chill but I can't pretend this was anything more than background music to me

After listening to that one Japan album in this list, all I can say is that this is just a more successful rip off. At least the bass is nice

Boring and sounds like Sinatra

reminds me of Wilco and Nick Drake at times but turn up the pretentiousness a notch

pre 2000s guilty pleasure pop artist Standout: Fernando, Dancing Queen

I love Portishead and I know a lot of people like "Machine Gun" but personally I can't stand it. Dummy is a better album anyway. 3.5 rounded up Standout: Plastic, Threads

Perfectly sized dose of Rod Stewart's voice. Maggie May will always be a banger

I liked the deep voice but the length made this a bit tiring. Also, I think this guy is a bit lonely

bluesy but not my thing

I am not the target audience for this

50 minutes of an annoying voice singing over dance beats, strings and sometimes other weird effects too

good album would be better if you trimmed off at least 10 of the filler tracks

had some nice funky elements but after a while it gets a bit old and nothing really stands out

this was okay, just a worse version of other glam rock (or whatever it's called) that came out those years

depressed mode

could have been a nice forgettable 3 star album but the singer's voice is bad - it would fit better if they leaned more on the punkier sound

oddly wholesome at times

has some nice tracks but it gets old and way too boring after a while

this was chill and I enjoyed the groovy elements

forgettable britpop, the faster tracks are okay but some of the slower ones can get really annoying

this was a weird album - at times it reminded me a bit of nirvana but other tracks were just meh 2.5 rounded up

I can excuse the bad voice since it compliments the punky elements nicely Standout: Blister In The Sun

very atmospheric album, the production is perfect

If it had less of the crowd screaming it would be even better - 3.5 rounded up

sleeper album of the good variety, did not expect this at all

This is apparently their debut album which I had not heard before and it's better than any of their other songs the radio constantly plays Standout: Fake Tales Of San Francisco

chill bossa album I would give it a 4 if it didn't have the marching band song

Imagine a world where all the 80s new wave albums in this list were as good as this one Standout: Just What I Needed

cars are nice but traffic is annoying

iron maiden + acdc + a bit of Dio = this forgettable mix

beats and flow are nice at times but lyrics are lame af

This is a raw mess and the mixing is shite. I prefer the more toned down versions of pj harvey I have listened to

The blend of traditional music and punk is a good idea, but this sound is just not my cup of tea

only redeeming factor was the funky bass in the first few tracks

man wtf was that last track all about

fun live album

preferred the RnB elements over the hip hop parts but still nothing special

lots of good tracks, couldn't really follow the "story" due to the mumbly singing style Standout: Thunder Road

-1 for the covers

it wasn't bad, but an entire album? really?

decent but forgettable 90s indie rock

this was an okay guitar singer album but I don't understand why it has a cult following

would have been your stereotypical hair metal album if he didn't do that high pitched voice thing

I hate Psycho Killer and it's the only thing I think about when I'm listening to this band

I don't get this. I always thought they were about to break down and start screaming but they never did

morrissad

Good pop album but I liked Graceland a lot more

enjoyable sized dose of rod stewart

half of this sounds like lidl john lennon beatles songs and the other half is bland indie - 2.5 rounded up

old rock with occasional very short jazz breaks

My favourite hip-hop album on this list yet (371 albums in). Great vibes, super enjoyable blend of hip-hop, funk and soul

more ok britpop

ethereal dreamy atmosphere but that's about it

it's rock that's about it

alright indie rock, the sound was consistent but nothing really stood out in particular

Cash + prison live album = a proven formula

Started alright, but as it went on it became a bit tiring Standout: Dancing in the moonlight (it's caught me in it's spotlight)

...but why?

why does it need so many goofy skits, the (limited) actual music in this album wasn't even that bad

bad grunge, I can't remember a single thing that stood out

Yeah her voice is good. Yeah this shit is bland as fuck shopping mall music. But if I told you I wouldn't absolutely belt the chorus of some of these hits anytime anyplace then I would be a big old liar.

Wow this was much more tame than I thought it would be. For some reason I remembered "Get It On" as a louder song but even that was not as chaotic as a remembered. A pleasant surprise

sometimes the line between satire and pretentiousness is very thin - or was it just bad lyrics?

this was a bit weird (and sad) but still good

for some reason I love his voice (in a so bad it's good way?) and it fits their vibe perfectly

oh give me a break already

"Rock and roll ain't noise pollution" but this record is pretty close

catchy tunes even if you can't understand half the words Standout: Wrote a song for everyone

enough Dylan already Standout: Love Minus Zero

pretty bland but enjoyable

reminds me of Paul songs, just more annoying

the cover was awful but the rest wasn't that bad, the accent adds to it

all these nice songs and they really chose Nico to sing them

pretty good and probably the influence of a ton of female singers

awful album cover but otherwise a really solid indie rock album

absolute chore to get through this

weird and a bit annoying after a while

great voice

what the actual France

funky background music

the lack of substance sadly drowns out some really tasteful guitar and bass playing

out of the 3 big grunge albums (and bands) this was probably my favourite Standout: Black

not unlistenable but feels a bit low effort and pointless Standout: Don't die just yet

last song is nice but wow was this album mid

the other album was better

for some reason I hated this from the beginning

people back in the day may have thought this was the shit but man does it sound goofy- and don't get me started on some of the lyrics

straight up beep boopin it

it's just cheesy 80s, not as bad as I expected it to be 2.5 stars

sound was chill but all the annoying ads ruin this

uninspiring 60s psychedelic stuff 2.5 stars

coldplay

generic country with a clear decline in song and lyric quality as the album went on

my face is still melting

other album was better and the awful Beatles cover did not help

guy pretending to be Bob Dylan with a shitty country voice and beats playing in the background

beautiful acoustic tunes

the beginning of the end for this band, but still a very fun album

another face melter

middle ground between grunge and corny 90s bands

nothing in particular stood out

It's not that bad, there just isn't much variation between the tracks. 2.5 rounded up

So this is what spawned all those awful nu-metal bands of the 90s and early 2000s

Could have been a real solid funk album, what was up with the occasional wacky and obnoxious sound effects and singing? "...side project of Talking Heads" Oh.

huge folk album

Ok cheesy pop album, better than expected. Bass went crazy in some tracks. 2.5 rounded up

this band is always a blast to listen to
