All Ratings (938)

not my tempo…

i mean i’ve seen the fragile line up live and even tho it was 2004 that was momentous.. it’s a literally perfect album

the hits are as good as i remembered but it’s just a decent album before muse went full queen and ditched wanting to be radiohead

perfecto pop

just made me wanna bump pavement…

super good love me some otis blue or redding

played out for a reason

a perfect radiohead album

better than i thought still just sounds like the american stones….

WAAAAAY better than i ever thought they’d be!

cowgirl in the sand.

a perfect album by a perfect human and brian eno

a worthy successor to loveless here’s hoping it’s not another 20 year wait for another mbv album

a beautiful fun sad epic folk album

was good for workin out

the bones are their money.. so are the worms…

suicidal thoughts > other hip hop

there’s one and a half GREAT albums here. “adore” forever

funnily enough i’d just watched the sandlot a few days ago….

nihlistic bullshit spewed by a man child produced by dr dre (the only decent thing about this whole album)

ehh

the hit is the worst song here… but i dug it! the last song i really liked i think….

not their best not their worst.. and win has kinda ranked this band for me….

best album by the best band

i liked the first song but the rest was a biiiiig meh

if he’s the boss i quit

holy shit. i’d only ever really dug powerslave/rhyme of the ancient mariner before listening to this.. the bass alone makes this a 5 star listen

porcelain is a 5/5 star’s track the rest of the album brings it down

saw them play the entire thing live about 10 years ago, it’s a perfect album

wow. what an album!

reminds me of better british punk, so this gets 3 stars

crosstown traffic

its american shoegaze!

third best big star album. rip chris bell and alex chilton

radiohead go full jazz odyssey and the world is better for it!

anything with jaco is an instant 5 star

huh..?

perfection.

saw them open for pavement! they’re fun!

the corner of scott walker and neil diamond!

an early masterpiece by a band who’ve lived there ever since

tokyo storm warning

time after time is banger, and all through the night was cool

syd is god

black math 🫶🏻

if he’s the boss i quit. the suicide rip offs are decent tho

a lovely portent of what was to come after he left genesis

a perfect album if ever there was one.. the bassline to is this it alone makes this a five star-er

yacht prog and i’m 1000% here for it.

good album by an evil guy

what a beautiful album..

not quite the majesty of toxicity but a great album and as far as a debut goes is pretty hard to beat

got it tatted bro

YES

whoa

god please don’t let it be their last…

the last good stones album, for a myriad of reasons the two biggest being the death of an icon (jones) and the death of their muse (beatles)

ramble tamble alone makes this a five star

meh

wants to be portishead and everything but the girl so bad.. it’s a decent radio-friendly take but i’ll stick to the source material thank you very much

a great debut sullied by a horny man

a perfect album

wow!

way to go out on a low note guys…

under the pressure is a 5 star track on a 3 star album

an immaculate album that i had played to the point that i couldn’t hear it anymore.. twas nice to listen to the whole thing.. man, king kunta still slaps

meh

huh..

nah…

eh..

you want it all but you can’t have it….

was gonna give it 3 but gets 4 for reminding me of dumb and dumber

sandman’s coo…

his best in my opinion

it’s all very loud…. extra star for nostalgia

parts are great most are ehh

very well produced pap

can’t stand joplin…

vocals knock it a star

his best

couple of my friends love it, i thought it was aight

https://youtu.be/xAzwAoOihG0?si=iUZo5Cm9AjEtsdSH

love ya neil but no thanks…

take out the hits and this album is a 4

2.5 but 2

hip tones for robot people. if a yuppie was turned into music

polar opposite of the lcd album i gave a 1 star to..

probably the most perfect debut album in american history

perfect when im in the mood for some ol’ blue eyes

cant do it….

just, you know.. one of the best most complete albums ever made… (3 stars)

are we there yet?

music for the disney tween in your life who’s finally old enough to watch adult swim

WOW! what a fantastic album! better than anything ive heard by the byrds by a long mile

“well what good is an ear if a q-tip isn’t in it?” used to bump gettin’ up at parties, fuckin love this album

hate that one song. and the vocals are way too upfront. hate it

maybe you gotta be from detroit or something…. id rather listen to early who or hell even the stooges….

Macca forever.

a perfect album.

the bass on come back baby is fantastic

whoa

lexicon devil is a 5

love the instrumental music, vocals not so much

dont let the horrible album cover fool you, this is worse than it looks!

an immaculate snapshot of the band in that sweet spot between scrappy psych band and ginormous dinosaur rock band. a perfect live album in any iteration you listen.

i see the appeal but this band aint for me

maggie may is a banger but blur’s cover is better….

🥱

nope

was gonna give it a four but god damn it the beatles were the shit from the get

too many circusy tunes

naw

please sir may i have s’more

shoulda been an instrumental album

lost me by the second millennial whoop…

three stars for young kanye’s production

weird

good album, excellent bass lines

holy smokes.. what an album! i take back my comment about nirvana being the only good grunge band…

orange crush is a banger on a banger album

love wobble’s bass so much

temu arcade fire

music is decent enough, id prefer more outlaw than country… but you gotta give it up to merle keepin it short n sweet

nirvana really was the only good grunge band… the chicken song is fun tho..

love me some proggy funk bass..

too crunchy for my taste

what an album!

a wee bit too kitschy but i like it

the holy bible better be on this list if this one is…

if you take out the pedo bits itd be a fiver #justiceformanzarek

one of the best albums ever by anyone ever

if he’s the boss i quit

if you took the best harmonies from the beach boys, mixed them with the amazing inventiveness of the beatles and blended them together with a dash of post-millenium paranoia youd get this this IMMACULATE album. sfa forever. side note. if youre new to the super furries and like this, a. listen to their discography its damn near perfect.. and b. check out Das Koolies, after Gruff left the band went on hiatus or whatever so they started Das Koolies as a four piece and the album and single theyve put out are just as flawless

holy shit what an album!

one of the best albums ever made. id give it 10/5 if i could… back in around 2009 i got on craiglist a 1984 cadillac fleetwood bougham from this guy selling it for his mom down in thousand oaks, ca.. 112,000 miles on it, kept covered in the garage the entire time theyd owned it. it was a showroom floor model, it was sexy.. but the speakers in it were practically untouched.. i would use this album (telephasic workshop or roygbiv usually) to show my bandmates and friends how warm and super crisp they sounded.. ill forevee think of that caddy every time i hear this already perfect album.

god every time i hear a new (to me) JM album im blown away and this was no different..

nilsson forever 💘

so many memories connected to this album its impossible for it to be anything less than a 5

like the happy gilmore riff

hadnt heard this in its entirety in at least 15 years.. man there are some amazing tracks…

another masterpiece by a band who only made em..

take the most boring bits from britpop and much it with unwarrented bends-filter you get this whatever ass album

an album ive owned since just out of high school (2006) yet had only listened to straight through in its entirety this year. dense, weird, under and over produced. the stuff legendary albums are made from, and this is one of em

take all the originality and greatness of the cure and george michael, throw it away and mix whatever is left behind and you get this banal ass album…

could only handle it til durst started puffing about writing checks yer ass cant cash…

aint no way there wasnt added crowd noise on this… show me the way out

better than i thought itd be!

“white’s goin on?”

one of best albums ever made by probably the only band “who” couldve stuck it to the equally immaculate beatles, at the peak of their psychedelic powers

“disintegration is the best album ever” - kyle on south park

rod can be a real cornball man…

KB FOREVER

a marvelous album probably my fav of mr. young’s

what a weird album

Yes!

hate this shit

its raining and this is perfect for today

the other GC album ive had so far was better, too on the nose dylanesque but still good

rip mr emerson…

freedom 90! is such a jam. loved the whole album

visions of working at target in the summer/autmn/winter of 2004 and cameron diaz’s bad dancing in the holiday… i was gonna give it a 1 but i didnt realize that back burner tune was on this album, for some reason thought it was on their next one.. that songs good. bumps it up a star…

meh…

the band’s original tracklist is better but a great album either way

love me some louis p

its fine for what it is, good even.. i’m just not an 80’s metal guy..

first song was ok, the rest is just bad dylan wannabe bs

“rock and roll has been going downhill since the release of the first bad company album!” - dave foley, kids in the hall

i love hearing albums that were influential/ripped off by other artists/albums i love.. beck n’ sea change im lookin at you…

surprisingly better than i thought itd be

teenage riot is a perfect tune on a very good album

if hes the boss i quit

william orbit produced the best blur album so i knew from the get id dig the whole thing. ray of light is the second best madonna song (2nd only to take a bow)

man what a rad album!

be nearly perfect if you took out kool thing…

a perfect album

the terribly underrated boys who made a perfect album

just cant

theres no way radiohead werent influenced by the opening track when liars opened for on the in rainbows tour.. damn near spot on bloom

this should be all me but it feels sooo forced

was scared at first but then i realized theyre gunnin for a neu!/stereab sorta vibe

if i could give this perfect album a thousand stars out of 5 i would give it a million.

soy loco is such a perfect song on a perfect album

mike watt is such a fun bassist. the minutemen were a special band… rip d. boone

that i was so much older than lyric is so bad it diminished the album for me

flawless

💩

been binge watching king of the hill with my partner hank would approve of this album.. im on the fence

title track and fast lane are bangers… the rest is ehhh..

a decent beck album

RIP

such a perfect album, hayes’ walk on by is a pysch-soul all time classic, hyperbolic… is just such a ridiculous awesome song.. one woman is the beautiful calm before the storm that is the sprawling nearly 20 minute epic that is also the best version of by the time i get to phoenix. a flawless album f’reals

the best album ever made. broke my lil 16 year old brain the first time i heard it and its only gotten better from there. SYD FOREVER

reminds me of miracle legion!

that second to last song was a but too much…..

good but they get WAY BETTER

pleasantly surprised at how much i enjoyd this

they were a major influence on the beatles

cant get into it

half decent

empty pages is mindblowingly great

like the prog stuff!

1000/10

love aint for keeping, one of the best bass performances ever. ox eternal

way better than it needs to be.. cut out the songs with features and you got yerself a pretty weird “nu metal”-y album that id actually like. got the life is the shit

bon scott forever

meh

a flawless album

perfection

i just dont dig 90’s cali hip hop….

if he’s the boss i quit

from the first chord to the last, i love this album.

possibly the last PERFECT thing the flips ever release.. yoshimi is a 5 but a low five

i mean, its fuckin ok computer. if this isnt a five for you then youre dead to me.

gets kinda sloggy in the back middle half but take take take saves it

i am trying to break your heart is a masterpiece song. album is ok

i miss the new old kanye, before he went stictly by ye kanye.. the black skinhead and pablo life kanye… this album aight tho

4 but only cause changes is a terrible song

in my top 3 of all time. lamb is a perfect album. pg led genesis was next to godliness

love goes on is a perfect song. album is fantastic

my fav ‘grass lp

reminds me of my asshole cousin (rip) i prefer their albums directly after this one

i remember being OBSESSED with rock lobster as a kid.. hadnt heard the album in full since then and it was very good and very fun and very weird

meh…

too glossy, too weirdly crass… i dig their earlier work but this just sounds like a coke-fueled reagan era nightmare for the most part

wonderful.

the greatest album ever made

not as good as off the wall

weirdly loved that floyd cover especially the chorus bits, that synth is fantastic. fun album

i dont get this dude… his songs sound like a mono-tone miserable person who just picked up a guitar and hit record…

some of the songs sound like they were written for breaking bad…

better and worse than i remembered

my fav can

its like “indie rock” as defined by A.I. shit’s weak

i just cant get into chuck d’s voice at all…..

dug the last track the most

couldnt handle it past the first track…

one of the best/hardest albums ever made. i rip off jah’s playing style on this bad boy every chance i get

wow! a flawless album. id heard his prior band and heard rumour of his solo excellence… my god i wasted so much time. literally played the album in full 5 times yesterday. ill probably play it again after today’s album…

ive always been intrigued by the murky production, it works but ive always wondered how rad itd sound if it didnt sound like it was mixed underwater. still flawless since i love it the way it is.

its good but meh at the same time…

dig francis more but a great album

man the production on this thing is wild.

in 2020 when rough and rowdy was released, id not been a dylan fan, the opposite in fact.. but i liked the idea of his jfk tune then when i heard i contain multitudes i was struck. what an amazing track by this now-octogenarian… anywho, i then listened to his entire studio album discography in reverse chronological order from rough and rowdy down to his eponymous first album. i now love dylan only twas til yesterday that id listened to this recording and my god its amazing.

any album that contains both seen your video AND i will dare is a 5. that the rest of let it be is just as wonderful is why its one of the best albums ever made. perfection.

whoa

caveman goth..

tranquility base should be on here before this’n but its still a 5

cant get past the intro, for me the horror is still to real

totally fine fluff

dig more than half, the more introspective less county tonk tunes.. the rest, no thank you

one of the best albums ever made ever.

some of it i really like but ill never do the work to parse it out

her best in my opinion.

if you give this album anything less than 5 stars your taste in music is suspect.

bon scott over brian whatshisface for sure but i can only really hang with the first two or three dc albums…

just cant get into d or flav’s voices man…

if you start the album with judy is a punk its a much richer listen, just fyi… still a 5 either way

love the story. and “if i hadnt been rainroaded well i guess id been a train” is the best lyric ever.

amazing.

the queen of drama-rama sad ballads. this is an entire album of them. not bad.

his voice is amazing, but this is the most boomery sounding live album ive ever heard…

one of damon’s best. easily

a perfect album.. king of the world is THE shit

the first two tracks and the title track are fantastic. the rest meh

the wes anderson tune is good and some of the instrumentation is nice but the whole things too fuckin twee for hipster sake…

best use of theremin this side of good vibrations

best live album ever recorded.

one of the top five albums of all time. flawless.

“this is outrageous!” - jez

2001 > the chronic.

i hear a lot of foo fighters and smashing pumpkins which is hilarious on both counts

kinda sounds like a very unchristmasy christmas album

a flawless piece of art

another martyn banger

two stars cause some of riffs rip but its all too ridiculous i couldnt get past the gang vocals on take no prisoners….

if you take out all of home girl’s songs but sisters of the moon (that buckingham solo rips way too hard to skip) its a muuuuuch better album.. just sayin. https://open.spotify.com/album/4XCAqkLSm0CozIX5dQRXPI?si=vTDRfUD5RruodymSNIvK1Q that said, this is buckingham’s album where my money is concerned.. its a piece of fuckin art.. rumours is good, tusk is immaculate.

wow way better than i thought itd be.. 22 minutes is probably my jll threshold..

RIP MANI!

itd be better if i enjoyed dudes voice but alas i do not

dude produced 13 by blur and madonna’s last great song.. i figured this would be worth the listen

mid-aughts rich white boy pop. mid being the operative word.

whiskey woman is a perfect song..

kinda hate it kinda love it

the vibe’s cool but i dont like her nasally vocals…

“this is outrageous!” - jez

no thanks

way good!

anselmo sucks… hate his voice

well if this just isnt the best metal album ive ever heard….

i like II and III more…

fripp is god.

saw him on this tour, probably one of the most bat shit shows ive ever been to. this album is flawless by a very flawed human.

ugh jah’s bass on the first two pil albums are christ-like.

man its cool and black hole sun is a great GREAT song (that effin solo man) but i HATE spoonman….

will forever remind me of being in my 20’s in a band that toured all the time…

love this weird ass album. its just bombastic enough to work perfectly.

the best zep ever get in my opinion, tho always 5 stars no matter what…

one of my all times favs….
