How does this man hear recordings of himself, and think, "yes, singing is clearly something I'm good at and should continue doing"?
I'm not a big fan of the Pumpkins, but "Disarm" is a great song
This felt longer than 15 minutes. Not in a good way.
I just do not enjoy being screamed at for an hour. The instrumental song was nice, though
Just kind of boring
Like a lot of music of this era, I love the sound of it, as long as I don't listen too closely to the lyrics
On a scale of 1 to Dusty Springfield, how bad was your breakup?
The first half is definitely better than the second. Her hits are amazing, though.
Exceptionally 80s
I'm really not a rap person
Not a punk person, either
Elevator music for a very fancy hotel. I thought tango music would be faster?
I was enjoying this album until the second half. Moog Raga sounded like background music from a Muppets alien sketch. Triad was about trying to convince someone to be a part of a trouple (with possibly more to join later). And I just didn't like the last three songs.

Good beats, but the obsession with the word "rectum" got really old.
A love song to his girlfriend in prison A song about Emily, who no one will ever love, and ever her flower garden will fade so it can't even be used on her grave A song about how maybe his girl will love him again after the new guy is gone A song about PTSD during WWI. Truly, this album has everything.
I hadn't heard "40" before, but I really liked it. A nice surprise on this album.
One star off for being terrible people
A mix of slow Sting songs and Cold Play. I really liked "Grounds for Divorce," but everything else was so generic and dull.
This album was ridiculous, and I kind of liked that.
Not my jam, but fine. Sometimes the lead singer was a little too whiny, but on at least song, they reminded me strongly of The Cars.
I really liked the music, but the lyrics give me huge "angry incel" vibes. Disappointing, because I love the song Blister in the Sun.
Mind Garden was pretty terrible, but I enjoyed the rest of this album
Alternative title: I Heart Misogyny and Toxic Masculinity
A lot more twangy/country than I expected from Rod Stewart.
My ten dubbed this "good background music"
Pure nostalgia
A good sound, but I could have done with the casual domestic violence joke
"Slit-eyed lady?" Really Rod? You couldn't, with all your song writing experience, find a better description?
Laguna Sunset was not a song I expected, bit I really enjoyed it
This was terrible. Why did I need to listen to it before I died??
Very mellow- reminded me of The Killers
Good, classic rock. I was surprised to recognize the theme song to "That 70's Show!"
Hearing the theme song to "That 70s Show" was an pleasant surprise.
A drunk-sounding man rambling "I'm 14 and this is deep" lyrics, and the whole thing sounds vaguely discordant. The Tennessee/"ten I see" pun was physically painful to hear.
Dire Straits vibes. Except for "Burning," which is 100% a Bruce Springsteen song.
Mellow electronica, which was mostly fine. I could have done without the bit that sounded like the "CD" was skipping/breaking/malfunctioning though.
His songs are probably good, but that voice... So, so nasal and whiny.
I just don't like Chrissie Hynde's voice. Otherwise the music was fine.
This album made me smile- especially the last couple of songs
I liked the earlier songs in this album, but I really dislike falsetto ballads, which appeared in the second half.
Disappointingly mediocre. I don't understand why this was a "must listen."
Most of the album was okay, bit that was a pretty terrible version of Strange By Me.
I'm just not on enough drugs to appreciate this, I think
Two good songs, and a lot of really not good songs. Plus JT is a slime.
The lead singer's voice reminded me of the guy from OMD. I enjoyed it!
I was wary when I saw this was a "concept album," but I was pleasantly surprised. Still not my thing, but not bad.
I consider it a great accomplishment that I did not fall asleep during this album.
I'm not a fan of jazz, but this wasn't bad.
Once I got over my disappointment that it wasn't Fats Domino (like I initially thought), it wasn't bad.
Deeply uninteresting
Elegia was amazing, and I liked a few of the other songs, too. But on many of them, I was left unconvinced that the lead singer could actually sing.
Paint It Black is so good, and Under My Thumb is so, so bad
This album has the dubious distinction of being one of the very few I couldn't make myself finish. Aggressively boring.
The first Bowie I've actually liked!
I really liked the first and last songs, bit other than that, this album was pretty meh
I had no idea Gangster's Paradise was based on a Stevie Wonder song!
Everything in my music history says I shouldn't have liked this album, but it was just so much fun!
Boring, inoffensive
I'm really just not a fan of this guy's singing
They remind me of Massive Attack, only not as good. The lyrics of Aisha are incredibly cringey and impossible to take seriously.
"Light My Fire" works as a sitar sing.. Who knew?
I'm choosing to believe this is satire.
I'm not a big fan of the Pumpkins, but "Disarm" is a great song
My weekly reminder that I do not like punk rock
It took 299 albums, but I finally found a punk album I don't hate! I enjoyed the humor, and the Cats And Girls song (with the signature Beach Boys Whoo on the background) cracked me up.
I didn't mind 'Are you experienced,* bit this just felt like a confused, disorganized mess. But All Along the Watchtower is a great song.
Incredibly dated sounding
An extra star, just for being featured on the Cruel Intentions soundtrack
Adding lyrics to smooth jazz doesn't make it suck any less
I just do not enjoy being screamed at for an hour. The instrumental song was nice, though
I preferred the second half of the album, which was a lot quieter.
Nothing says "timeless classic" like name-checking Arsenio Hall a half dozen times, and an entire song dedicated to your beeper.
Not particularly interesting, but not actively offensive, either.
I expected a band called "primal scream" to be much less mellow.
I had braced myself for an album of disco crap, and was pleasantly surprised by this mellow, pretty album!
Surprisingly boring. And the liner I listened, the more I couldn't shake the getting that Bob would be insufferable in person.
Find yourself someone who loves you as much as Kraftwerk loves the Trans-Europe Express
Generic 70s soft rock interspersed occasionally with truly weird shit.
Oasis vibes. Not bad, but it was all pretty similar sounding.
Iron Maiden was my nearly as bad as I was expecting.
Upbeat, mindless background music. Not bad for what it is.
Hey Ya and Caroline are still great songs, but the rest of this album was very much not
Weird af, but never boring
I just get such a skeevy vibe from these guys
"Zombie Eaters" is a seriously weird song, and Edge of the World is even worse.
Remarkably listenable for post-punk
Remarkably boring
I had high hopes for this one, but it was just kind of whiny and discordant.
This album was not at all what I was expecting. I don't really go for experimental serious, but this album wasn't bad. Some germs of good stuff. And also a lot of weird, discordant squawking.
A really interesting sound, and never boring.
I did not expect this to end with a cover of Goldfinger. Sure, why not, I guess?
I think I'd quite like Bjork's music, if it had a different vocalist.
Minus 1 star for crappy remakes of Hand Jive and I Shot the Sheriff
How does this man hear recordings of himself, and think, "yes, singing is clearly something I'm good at and should continue doing"?
Often weird, occasionally actually unpleasant to listen to.
The first song was my favorite
So stereotypically "British punk" that it almost sounds like a parody.
Mellow electronica - I'm here for it
Neil's not so bad when drowned or by electric guitar or backing vocals. But when he goes practically acoustic... I found myself physically cringing.
Good music, terrible album name. Except for "You Could Be Love." That was bad.
This guy was just creepy sounding
This felt longer than 15 minutes. Not in a good way.
I just can't separate art from the artist
Upbeat disco songs are incredibly repetitive, and the slow ones are just unlistenable.
I'm apparently much more tolerant of weird music if the lead singer has a melodic voice
I'm not a swiftie, not I do enjoy Taylor's music
The longer this album went on, the lower my estimation of the singer's ability went
Soporific. "Gypsy woman" would have been too long at one-quarter the length.
My husband dubbed this "Toy Story B Sides"
Such a great voice
I was surprised this came out in 79, not the mid-90s. Still, entirely forgettable music
A perfect album for a rainy Sunday afternoon
Incredibly slow and quiet. "I Dream a Highway" would make an excellent lullaby.
I didn't mind Missy Elliott's music, except for the slow stuff where she sings high.
Brian Eno is such a weird dude
This album started off with some mellow jazz, then suddenly a rap song happened, followed by some upbeat punk. An odd mix, but it wasn't actively bad.
A symphony makes everything better, so this Metallica album got boosted to a 3.
The first and last songs were my favorite, but the whole album wasn't bad.
The worst yacht truck has to offer.
I don't understand sings that change into completely different songs partway through.
So, so weird.. Shades of Bjork. In some ways it felt like listening to the soundtrack to a musical I didn't understand the plot to.
"Christ for President" just different in 2025 than in sure it did when it was written and recorded. 😬
This album started off really promising, very Massive -Esque. Not then it just devolved into shitty, sexual lyrics with uninteresting backing music. Disappointing.
I think I might actually like most of these songs with a different singer. But Cohen's voice is just monotone and droning.
A Bowie album I actually liked!
I surprisingly liked this album. Noting Earth shattering, but a lovely 80s pop/rock album that I enjoyed listening to.
Not good, but not the worst thing I've listened to. Occasional moments of not bad.
I made it 4 songs in before I bailed. Shitty lyrics, boring music, and a lead singer who sounds like he can't actually sing.
About half good songs and half screaming crap.
Glorified hold music
Mega nope
Weird, but at least it wasn't punk
Weird and not good, but at least it wasn't all just off-key yelling, so it's an upgrade from most punk music
I did like the random sea shanty
Unrelentingly terrible.
Influenced a lot more by the blues than I was expecting.
One terrible punk song and a bunch of not horrible. The last couple of songs removed me of Nirvana (particularly the singing style), which I found interesting.
Usually I like the Dead, but this album didn't work for me. I prefer when what they play is more "actual songs," less "just jamming for extended periods "
At least it's melodic screaming? Exceedingly long guitar/drum solos are exceedingly dull.
I don't mind country, and I like musicals, but this was just a classic mess.
It reminded me of Death Cab For Cutie with a weaker lead singer and and way more sci-fi sound effects.
I groaned as soon as the vocalist opened his mouth. I really hate the drunk/slurring/atonal/doesn't care affectation of punk singers. It doesn't matter what interesting things they might be doing instrumentally, or lyrically, I can't get past the "singing." (Of course, a whole song based around "Picasso" sort of rhyming with "asshole" doesn't say great things for their lyrics, either.)
I hadn't listened to the album in decades, so I want sure how I'd feel about it now. Yeah, it holds up. Still amazing.
Unrelentingly loud and boring. Like the background music for the TV show "How It's Made," with lyrics.
I was worried when I saw the genre listed as punk, but this was surprisingly good.
A lovely, mellow album. Dire Stairs always remind me breeze on a summer evening. Favorite song: Walk Of Life Least favorite: Your Latest Trick
Totally fine background music
Shockingly, NOT my new favorite album.
Some lovely music mixed in with some absolute cacophony of sound.
Not at all I was expecting when I read "Icelandic post-rock," but I'll happily take it! Like Massive Attack without the bass.
Least terrible Nick Cave album.
Running Up That Hill is a great song, but Kate Bush is just, in general, too weird for my taste.
Not bad as background music, but if I actually focused on and listened to it, it was not great.
Another day, another chance to wonder how in the heck this man ever became popular enough to have so many freaking albums.
"I'm on fire" is such a beautiful, haunting sounding song.
This had so much potential- some of the songs are so lovely. But the insane amounts of reverb/distortion makes some of the songs basically unlistenable, and gives the whole album a same-y quality.
A couple of good songs, and a bunch of screaming terribleness.
I can count on one hand the albums I've bailed out on (not fully listened to). Welcome to a very exclusive club, Sepultura!
Just kind of boring
Weird as hell, but never boring
A mellow, bluesy album with a lead singer with a voice like an angel. It's a cliche, bit I can't think of a better description.
My opinion of jazz remains unchanged
This guy has strong "insufferable at parties" vibes. "Get Behind Me" wasn't bad though.
Not bad classic rock
Not good, but not disco!
Mostly mellow background music, plus a few songs Gene Belcher would appreciate.
The best metal album (which is an incredibly low bar, but still- they cleared it!)
The subject matter combined with the guy's voice creeped me out so much that I couldn't even get through the first song.
I enjoyed this album of 80s pop
I own this album so, yeah, I kind of like it.
I was braced for more punk awfulness, but was pleasantly surprised by their Beatles-ness. I'm much happier to listen to an hour of social commentary of they're an actual melody involved.
All jazz sounds the same to me- boring.
When even the book describes this as a "musical endurance test," it's not a good sign. Nor was the anecdote any their first gig with the lead singer causing people to flee the venue en masse. The longer I listened, the lower my rating got.
Not bad, but very dated sounding. Instantly recognizable as 90s (despite being released in 2000).
This album has so many moments when it was almost good, but then kept ruining it.
At times indistinguishable from a tape deck eating a cassette.
It was just so boring. And, once again, he apparently felt it was artistically important to use the n-word.
Automatic one star deduction for the album cover.
Predictably terrible, but this list has had me listen to worse. At least it wasn't a solid wall of screeching noise!
You would think that by their fifth album, they'd have made enough money to hire a decent song writer. Apparently not.
If I hadn't known better, I would have sworn this was an album from the 70s. Someone about the style. Not bad, just kind of boring and dated sounding.
This may be the most 80s album I have ever heard.
It was certainly not boring.
A bit odd, but not unpleasant. It often reminded me of a James Bond theme song.
I know Alice Cooper is theatrical, but I want expecting him to break out into a full-on showtune. Overall, not as bad as I was expecting.
Music to be depressed to.
This one was a really pleasant surprise. I'd never heard of them before, but they have a fun, interesting sound that I really enjoyed.
I much prefer this big-band-adjacent jazz to the elevator-music jazz and cacophony-of-noise varieties.
Weird, and at times over the top, but not actively bad.
This was such an old school hip hop record- basic drum machine, synth, record scratches- that I kept expecting someone to come in saying "my name is Raymond and I'm here to say...." It was probably important at the time of its release, but I'm 2025 it's just kind of boring.
A squeakier Macy Gray does medieval ballads. No discernable melodies, and a voice that is not pleasant to listen to. The one interesting bit was near the end of "Only Skin" where a deep bass voice joined in and their voices played together.
I will not separate art from this artist, or give him my fractions of a penny for streaming his music.
I'm not usually a hip hop person, but I found myself actually enjoying this album. Color me surprised!
After the first couple of songs, it want as bad or weird as I expected.
This project has definitely improved my music knowledge. Today's another punk album? Damnit. The lead singer is Nick Cave? Double damnit! A year ago I wouldn't have had either of those reactions!
Much better than I expected a band called "Primal Scream" to be.
[Chorus] But your flag decal won't get you into Heaven anymore They're already overcrowded from your dirty little war Now Jesus don't like killin', no matter what the reason's for And your flag decal won't get you into Heaven anymore
Mostly not totally terrible, but I really don't understand starting an album with the to worst, and least representative songs on it.
This is the first shoegaze album I've enjoyed
Melodramatic and over the top, with lyrics that were at times a bit unhinged. The longer I listened, the more I loved it
How did this just keep getting worse?
Good album with a terrible title (and the title track, incidentally, was also my least favorite).
Sometimes really beautiful, and sometimes really, really odd.
Let's throw *everything* at the wall, at see what sticks!
This was disappointing because it was almost good. It had moments. But then... it wasn't.
This is the music that plays in the background of a fancy office Christmas party in a movie.
This varied between forgettable and actively bad.
Pretty generic
Incredibly 90s, and I am here for it!
"Wishing Well" is still a great song, but there's a reason I'd never heard anything else by him.
Just lovely :)
It wasn't all terrible, but none of it was good
I can only listen to so many songs about all the ways this kid's childhood was terrible
This album was a 2 until I got to the song "Jailbait."
Would have been better without letting Neil Young solo.
I just don't get Elvis Costello.
I find early hip hop just really boring, musically.
I've always loved Joplin's voice. And Bobby McGee is an all time great song.
I much prefer heartfelt, lovelorn George Michael to horny George. So basically every other song on this album. Father Figure and One More Try are all time great songs.
This album is so. fucking. weird. One song was about wanting to be a cat. One was about visiting Tokyo and spending all his money on anime shit. But it also has Pharrell, Kendrick Lamar, and Kenny Loggins appearing on it? And it's all in falsetto. Often with no discernible melody.
Not bad as far as background music goes, except for the first and last "song," which were just unnecessary.
This was almost good, but was let down by the singing.
Metallica is so droning and boring
I was surprised by how much I enjoyed this album. I wish the songs had been more fleshed out into complete songs, but I still found myself really enjoying the sound.
I was surprised by how much I enjoyed this one. Hip-hop is not normally my genre, but this album was fun with a bunch of really great beats. The title track and "Scooby Snacks" we're particular favorites.
Love the message, hate the music
Despite not being a Queen album (as I initially thought when I saw the title), this album wasn't bad.
This is so close to something I could enjoy. But all the reverb/distortion/whatever turns most of it into just noise to my ears.
There was more disco than I was expecting on this album. And the rest was soul/blues, which is is never my thing.
Fuck Kanye
Surprisingly not bad.
Some catchy tunes, but Cee-lo has a voice for novelty songs, not an entire album.
Nice beats, weirdly mellow. I didn't hate it.
I enjoyed the hits and a couple more, but there was too much reverb/distortion for my taste.
This album has me smiling from the first notes. I enjoyed it so much, I immediately listened to it again!
I really liked the final song, but the rest of the album was kind of generic sounding to me.
A fun, upbeat album that has me smiling
This started out as some really nice, instrumental music. And then it got loud and punk-adjacent, and that's a hard no from me.
It's not horrible, but it sounds very, very dated..
I was surprised that I vaguely recognized two of these songs.
I just don't like salsa. This album could be a nuanced, musical masterpiece, but my ears would never be able to hear it.
How in the hell did Kid Rock make this list??
I'm not a fan of the more r&b stuff, but there were a couple of good songs on this.
I kept expecting most of these songs to turn into "Cars," because that's the one I know, and they mostly sounded similar.
I actually really liked the title song. The rest of the album, not so much.
Overwrought AND boring.
Not at all what I expected when I saw the genre listed as jazz. But it wasn't boring!
Very dated, with cringey lyrics. But the title track is still a bop.
Very weird, but not actively annoying
The irony of an album released in 1986 having the lyrics "It's gettin' tough/ Just my luck I was born in the land of plenty, now there ain't enough" Boy, you ain't seen nothing yet
Interesting, never generic
I wouldn't bat an eye if I've if these songs popped up on one of my regular Pandora stations. But the head singer's voice for an entire album is a bit much
I still don't get Elvis Costello
Electronica, but make it smooth jazz.
Repetitive lead to boring, and then annoying.
The album cover had me prepared for the worst, but I actually enjoyed this?
Neil Young's voice is much less offensive when he's harmonizing with someone else.
The first half of this album in particular had some really good beats.
The first half of this album in particular had some really good beats.
All the songs sounded the same
Zero stars for containing the song "Gang Bang" alone.
I'm not sure what I was expecting, not it wasn't this. There may have been a whole story here (that I didn't follow). But not actively offensive to my ears.
