Meat Is Murder by The Smiths

This guy has the most annoying voice in the world.

1-Star Albums (12)

All Ratings (76)

Physical Graffiti by Led Zeppelin
Oct 21 2023

Very classic rock. Has some really cool tracks (which are widely known), but not everything is to my liking.

Moving Pictures by Rush
Oct 22 2023

Rather boring. "Tom Sawyer" has over 100mil listens on Spotify and it doesn't move me at all.

Young Americans by David Bowie
Oct 23 2023

Boring. I never understood why people call Bowie a genius, but that is probably due to the time I live in.

Oct 24 2023

While the album is very well produced, Kanye West has an annoying voice and some of the avant-garde samples are very repetitive and make my ears bleed. The song "POWER" has nearly a billion listens but I got so annoyed by the background sample that I stopped it halfway. The song "All of the lights" is the most melodic, the song "Monster" has a very cool vibe.

Maggot Brain by Funkadelic
Oct 26 2023

It took six albums to encounter one that I knew and saved in my Spotify albums. I truly love the first track, which is a masterpiece, but the rest is mediocre.

Raw Power by The Stooges
Oct 28 2023

Very raw indeed. Very loud, but contains some very cool songs.

Copper Blue by Sugar
Oct 29 2023

Finally, some melodic rock. However, every song sounds the same.

Vanishing Point by Primal Scream
Oct 30 2023

Besides "Trainspotting", this was horrible.

Aja by Steely Dan
Oct 31 2023

So yeah, this is a classic rock album. Very crisp performance, but for a millennial like me, these songs are boring.

Nov 01 2023

Awesome album, very funky. Would play in cocktail bars, at the start of a party, during dinner with friends.

Modern Kosmology by Jane Weaver
Nov 02 2023

Throw Anne Clark, Daughter and Florence & The Machine in a blender, and this is what comes out. Although some tracks stand out (The Architect, HAK) it's a rather bland album.

Venus Luxure No. 1 Baby by Girls Against Boys
Nov 03 2023

A very bad mix of QOTSA, Rage Against The Machine, P.O.D. and Papa Roach. A VERY bad mix.

The Stranger by Billy Joel
Nov 04 2023

Simply brilliant. Not complex, but a joy to the ear from start to end.

Whatever by Aimee Mann
Nov 05 2023

Downright horrible. It's out of tune, the songs are bland, the lyrics are mellow. I'd have guessed this is peak poprock, but Aimee Mann was a decade earlier.

I Should Coco by Supergrass
Nov 07 2023

I mean, it's not bad, but besides their superhit, it's rather bland. Feels like early 90s (hard) rock.

Beautiful Freak by Eels
Nov 08 2023

I've known this album for years, and only listen to it occasionally. However, this album contains some masterpieces (even lesser known ones).

Loveless by My Bloody Valentine
Nov 09 2023

My bloody ears. Who tf listens to this.

Abraxas by Santana
Nov 10 2023

Everybody knows Santa's biggest hits, but I never listened to this full album. It's absolutely amazing. One must wonder why I haven't before!

Frank by Amy Winehouse
Nov 11 2023

I was a teenager when this album was popular, and considered it to mainstraim to get into it (I was a contrarian cool kid). However, this album has some amazing songs and lyrics. On top, it is extremely well produced, without eliminating the vintage atmosphere that Amy Winehouse radiates.

That's The Way Of The World by Earth, Wind & Fire
Nov 13 2023

Has some really cool (and famous) tracks. However, not all is gold, and some songs are downright weird.

Jagged Little Pill by Alanis Morissette
Nov 16 2023

It doesn't get more 90s than Alanis Morisette. Actually, I only knew "Hand in my pocket". Finally got to know the other songs, which are some mediocre pop-rock songs. Her voice is very recognizable, so take that away and they could've been P!nk or Avril Lavigne songs.

Live At Leeds by The Who
Nov 17 2023

This is a cool live album, with some lesser known "The Who" songs. However, sound quality is horrible and the "rape" jokes are very not adjusted to today.

Meat Is Murder by The Smiths
Nov 18 2023

This guy has the most annoying voice in the world.

Dry by PJ Harvey
Nov 19 2023

I understand that grunge was popular those days, but while Nirvana is from out of this world, this is mostly annoying.

The Holy Bible by Manic Street Preachers
Nov 20 2023

"Archives of pain" has a sick guitar solo. "Revol" is an earworm. A blend of various rock subgenres. Amazing album in general.

Let's Stay Together by Al Green
Nov 21 2023

Amazing album. It's a pity I didn't give this a chance earlier.

Stand! by Sly & The Family Stone
Nov 22 2023

Damnit, what a funky album. Really into "I want to take you higher" and "everyday people".

School's Out by Alice Cooper
Nov 23 2023

The song "Blue Turk" is absolutely stunning: organs, trumpets, clear and in-tune singing. Very well produced. Gives me a "Doors" feeling. For the rest, many shouty, badly produced, early punk.

Tuesday Night Music Club by Sheryl Crow
Nov 24 2023

Luckily, she sings well, and it has some catchy guitar tunes. But this is some very cringy early-nineties indie country.

Brilliant Corners by Thelonious Monk
Nov 25 2023

Very enjoyable jazz. The kind that can be played in a bar, an elevator, a restaurant, at home, during work, at an after-work, etc. Many songs would be perfect for a Leonardo Di Caprio movie with him picturing some random rich guy in the gay twenties.

The Age Of The Understatement by The Last Shadow Puppets
Dec 09 2023

Doesn't do much to me. It sounds a lot like Bowie, and I don't like Bowie.

Dec 10 2023

Luckily it has "Waterloo Sunset", because the rest of this album is a like the Beatles having a hangover Monday.

Rising Above Bedlam by Jah Wobble's Invaders Of The Heart
Dec 11 2023

The first song is probably where Enigma got his inspiration for "Principles of Lust". For crying out loud, what a horrible album.

Bridge Over Troubled Water by Simon & Garfunkel
Dec 12 2023

Contains some masterpieces, and I see why they were amazing in their time. But now, the whole indie scene is saturated with this.

Dirty by Sonic Youth
Dec 14 2023

My ears bleed.

Pump by Aerosmith
Dec 15 2023

Basically every song sounds the same. Contains some cool riffs though.

Live At The Regal by B.B. King
Jan 03 2024

Awesome live album, great tracks, very crisp too

...And Justice For All by Metallica
Jan 04 2024

An incredible album. Who could've known that shouting in the micro with hard guitars could produce such a melodious experience.

Jan 06 2024

I was a teenager when this record was popular. Contains some timeless songs, and for some reason I even got to appreciate the song "Kim". Nevertheless, some very cringy quotes, and simply annoying songs.

Illinois by Sufjan Stevens
Jan 08 2024

I've never been a fan of Sufjan Stevens, it's too "soft" and the songs know no climax. There's so much you can do with a mandoline. Yet, for Sufjan, it only makes his songs more mellow.

Either Or by Elliott Smith
Jan 09 2024

I'm ashamed I've never given this album a chance before.

Fishscale by Ghostface Killah
Jan 10 2024

This album contains some interesting tracks, and it's clear that the artist is a prolific rapper. But there's also shit tracks and too many skids.

Coat Of Many Colors by Dolly Parton
Jan 12 2024

Brilliant album. As a Belgian (where country music is non-existent) I always had this weird attraction to Dolly Parton's music.

Ananda Shankar by Ananda Shankar
Jan 17 2024

I've come to listen to this album quite a lot, especially when driving. I never knew sitar could be so funky. Nevertheless, it's very gimmicky. After a couple of songs you're good for a couple of days.

Among The Living by Anthrax
Jan 19 2024

I know Anthrax from Tony Hawk Pro Skater, only a couple of songs. This album contains some metal songs that are truly on par with Metallica.

Innervisions by Stevie Wonder
Feb 08 2024

Dang, what a brilliant album.

Transformer by Lou Reed
Feb 10 2024

Although this album contains three legendary tracks, many of the songs on this album are absolutely horrible, with hindsight.

My Generation by The Who
Feb 28 2024

I like some songs from The Who, but they're certainly not on this album. Even their megahit "My Generation" is an annoying song.

Elephant by The White Stripes
Mar 02 2024

A brilliant album, with legendary tracks that keep on giving. even the tracks that never made it to legendary status are earwurms!

Out Of The Blue by Electric Light Orchestra
Mar 05 2024

I've never given ELO a chance! However, has some absolutely awesome melodic songs.

Paranoid by Black Sabbath
Mar 21 2024

Some tracks are absolutely brilliant. Planet Caravan has been in my top 100 songs for years now.

Devil Without A Cause by Kid Rock
Mar 22 2024

When you have Limp Bizkit, remove Lethal and Wes Borland, this is what remains: a bland rock album.

Sign 'O' The Times by Prince
Mar 23 2024

Ok, so I've given Prince another chance, and I still don't understand it.

Little Earthquakes by Tori Amos
Mar 24 2024

Some of Tori Amos' pure piano songs are quite good. However, with hindsight (I was a fan of hers when I was a teenager), a lot of her music is painful to listen to.

The Score by Fugees
Mar 25 2024

One of my favorite albums of all time.

Blackstar by David Bowie
Apr 11 2024

Another attempt at listening to David Bowie. I still don't understand it.

Paris 1919 by John Cale
Apr 12 2024

Downright horrible, boring, out of tone.

Rio by Duran Duran
Apr 13 2024

Goes in two ways. Some of their most famous hits are absolutely brilliant given the era they were released in. But at least half of the tracks make my ears bleed.

Ocean Rain by Echo And The Bunnymen
Apr 14 2024

Extremely bland. Their hit "The Killing Moon" is bearable.

GREY Area by Little Simz
Apr 17 2024

Great album, very diverse, very layered. Also an excellent crystal-clear production.

Slippery When Wet by Bon Jovi
Apr 28 2024

The hits are absolutely brilliant, I even got to know some songs I haven't heard or don't recall. Also contains some fillers.

Eternally Yours by The Saints
Apr 29 2024

the fuck is this. It's bland skapunk
