I lost my virginity to my best friend Puma while listening to this album. Sex was one star. Album is a 5.

Played it backwards, killed a goat.

Never understood the acclaim for this album. It's really quite boring. Sprawl II is the only redeeming factor.

One drugs, please.

Odd turns of phrase. Too many words crammed into too little space. Music sounds like it could fall apart into a mess at any moment. I love it.

There's a 5 star album hiding in there.

Bunches of classic songs that I'm fine with never hearing again.

Never understood the acclaim for this album. It's really quite boring. Sprawl II is the only redeeming factor.

The cover of War Pigs is so faithful, there's no reason not to just listen to the original. Epic is still a banger, but like much of the rest of the album, is peppered with some corny lyrics and vocal delivery. Sorry Geof, just not my cup of tea.

My friend Spizzy makes a tasty drink called a Tough Guy Coffee. 1 cup of coffee. 3 shots of Ezra Brooks bourbon cream. Whip cream as desired. Mitchels sprinkles for the W. The coffee is a stimulant, gets the heart pumping. The Bourbon is a depressant, slows down messages from brain to body. That's two different drugs. This is dangerous! It's even called "Tough Guy." But it doesn't take itself seriously. It's got whipped cream. That's playful! And sprinkles? OK, is this for kids? But it's boozy/buzzy, so it can't be. Is it really for Tough Guys? If so it probably wouldn't be called Tough Guy. It'd be called Slayer or something. And some people hate coffee, so no amount of whipped cream is going to make it palatable. Some people like all the ingredients of a Tough Guy Coffee and will enjoy one every now and again, but would never drink 2 in a row. It's a once in a while type thing.

Catching up on some albums I passed on previously. Ended up listening to this the same day as The Germs GI. As much as I dislike listening hardcore punk, this album is why we need punks to smack the mouths of over produced schmaltzy musicians every once in a while. 2 out of 5 ain't bad.

The review for "Shark Sandwich" was merely a two word review which simply read "Shit Sandwich".

Reminds me of the summer I spent face down in a gutter in New York City.

Surprised that I liked this as much as I did.

This is the first album on here that I haven't listened to before to earn a five. I enjoyed everything about it!

Really good beats, but I need more melody.

Loved the glam rock much more than the punk.

I remembered this album being a 5, but as I listened yesterday I realized that I don't like it as much as I thought I did. It was the right album at the right time, but that time has passed.

Pretty good stuff, but each song seemed to be a bit over-long and repetitive.

What's not to love? 30 minutes of perfectly crafted pop songs.

Good, but too long.

Not bad background music, but nothing stands out. Completely forgettable, but pretty.

I'm one of those sickos who likes REM's 90s stuff more than their early stuff.

I didn't hate it, but I can't imagine anyone saying that it's "essential." it's just fine.

Half of the songs are great. The whole thing suffers a bit from edge lord lyrics.

The title track came up on my Discovery Weekly a long time ago, and I've loved it ever since. I've tried to get into this album a few times since, and I just can't do it.

Not my favorite of Paul Simon's work by a long shot.

Moments on the verge of being very good, but ultimately just OK

Touches of Beatles, The Fall, Bowie, and even Pulp. And you can hear the beginning of Gorrilaz. The MOR riff, the You're so Great vocal melody, and "Good Morning Lethargy" have been bouncing through my head for almost 30 years.

Too long. Too repetitive. Too boring.

Not as good as Different Class or His n Hers, but a fine outing.

I don't really like Christmas music, but I love The Wall of Sound. Tough call, but I'll settle on a 3.

Not my thing. Fine background music, but nothing that makes me want to revisit it.

I put this in the category of music that is more fun to make than to listen to.

I lost my virginity to my best friend Puma while listening to this album. Sex was one star. Album is a 5.

There's a 4 song run from The Weight through Chest Fever that is perfection.

Double albums and live albums get docked a star almost automatically.

Not my thing at all

I actually quite like this garbage. No need for any of the songs to be longer than 3 minutes though. And definitely no reason for this to be an hour long album. Scaled WAY down this would be a fun post-punk party. If the whole thing was 30 minutes long, it'd be a 5.

I was excited when this popped up, thinking it would be a 4 or 5. But after listening to it, it turns out I only enjoy the radio hits and the rest is... Meh

I like a lot of Dylan. Just nothing on this album really.

Love it. I don't care for songs longer than 3 or 4 minutes usually, so I'm docking a star.

Not my jam.

Dark poppy synth. The Cutter is great, as are a couple other songs.

When I was a kid, the family who lived in the house behind me would often have late night parties and I wouldn't be able to sleep because this type of music would be playing loudly.

Live album: minus one point Super long songs: minus one point Enjoyable background music.

Some songs came close to being good, but none quite got there.

Very good. Not a genre I gravitate to, so on my scale it gets a 3.

I was afraid each song was going to sound exactly the same, but that's definitely not the case. Fun listen!

I'd pick The Joshua Tree or Achtung Baby over this any day.

Hot take: Tom Waits' voice is unpleasant to listen to.

This album is amazing. There's a couple of forgettable tunes, but they're canceled out by the bangers. Probably a 4.5, but gets elevated by the fact that I had John Lennon's Imagine yesterday. It's crazy how much better this album is than Imagine.

Needs more guitar solos.

Way less filler than there usually is on a double album, so I won't give it my normal one star deduction for over indulgence. Also, it could be a quintuple album and still get a four based solely on the inclusion of Benny and the Jets.

I'll most likely never listen to it again, but it does the job it set out to do. I don't like his singing style, but that's a cultural difference. I liked the guest vocalists more. The strings are great throughout. Probably 100 options for a Britney Spears Toxic style bop for Max Martin to pick from.

Buzzcocks always makes me wish I was listening to the Ramones instead.

Van Halen with Dave is the best Van Halen. Van Halen By Van Halen is the best Van Halen.

Imagine an entire album of Kim Deal teaching you how to spell things the way she does on Velouria. That album would get 6 stars.

Maybe I wasn't in the proper mood for this, but I did not enjoy anything about it. Possibly multiple listens would change my opinion, but I struggled to get through it once.

His voice is great. I like the orchestration. Overall I wanted to like this. Listened to it twice and nothing stuck. His group The Walker Brothers had some cool stuff though.

A good start. And if you start them up, they'll never stop, never stop, never stop, never stop. Then you'll see a grown man cry.

I was 9 when this came out. You'd think I'd be more into metal than I am with the number of hours I've spent listening to GnFnR.

This is a fun record. I used to love the "make fun of everything" attitude, but now I find it exhausting. Was anyone or anything genuine enough to escape Frank's ire? At some point - kinda like South Park - pointing out how lame everyone else is loses some appeal. Still going to rate it high though because I don't want to be labeled lame.

Donovan is definitely a "greatest hits" artist for me. He's got a bunch of great songs, but the non hits are pretty much all misses.

I have too much anxiety to be able to enjoy this.

I really like 4 songs on this album (Neighborhood 1 & 3, Wake Up, and Rebellion). The rest is boring and points to the boring direction they went in after.

I don't really like Zappa, but this one holds a special place for me. Listened to it a lot in college. Tried to make oddball music with friends and the goofier stuff on here was a big inspiration. The not so goofy stuff is just pretty solid pop music. Docked a point for being a double album.

3.5

Probably a 1.5 because of a few interesting moments, but I thought this was pretty annoying.

Gotta love Bolan

One hour and 17 minutes! C'mon Christina, EDIT. Some bangers, for sure, and her voice is obviously great. 30 minute album would probably be 5 stars, but lots of these songs started sounding the same and could have been dropped.

Very close to a 5, but early rap doesn't switch up the rhyming patterns enough.

Fine as background music, I guess. The Tracey Thorn feature is the highlight, canceled out by the absolute garbage of a rap song that comes later. Stick with The Jam.

Loses a star for being a double album, per my usual. The Stevie Nick's songs sound like Stevie Nick's, but the rest is pretty great!

A real mixed bag.

Good fun! Raggae is a side course rather than a main dish, but this is a delicious one.

To no one's surprise, Doug rates this album highly. 4.5 for a few tracks that miss the mark.

Clever wordplay. Catchy vocal melodies, many of which have been rolling around in my head for years.

Boring and generic. I already don't remember anything about it.

3.5 There was a time when this would have been a 5 for me, but for some reason I've enjoyed it less as time goes on.

I just don't care for lots of 70s style male harmonizing. There were a couple songs that I enjoyed, and I appreciated the short run time. Torn between a 2 and a 3, because it is technically good, just not my thing.

I enjoy weirdo art rock like this. This is a good album, but it's not like I'm going to seek it out again.

Background music for a barbecue.

Played it backwards, killed a goat.

Elton is great, but this album is just OK.

I was surprised how much I disliked this album. On paper it seems like it would be my kind of thing, but in reality I thought it was soooo annoying. I remember seeing this in the record store all the time, and being intrigued by its packaging. Turns out the lego case is the only interesting thing about it.

7 great songs. 4 forgettable songs.

Seems like they had no ideas of their own here. Motorhead, trainspotting, vanishing point. And a Scottish band singing about Rosa Parks, MLK, and Malcolm X- saying every brother is a star... Seems worse than anything Bono could come up with.

I like this band a lot, but like a lot of electronic dance music it gets a bit repetitive. Say what you need to say in 3 minutes and move on.

I really liked True Confessions. Nothing else really stood out.

There's nothing special here. I'll Stick Around is pretty much the only Foo Fighters song I've ever liked, and even that isn't special. Can't give it a One because it isn't annoying or offensive. Just boring. It's fun to say "foo FIGHTers the way Christopher Walken did though.

Not good. Not essential.

Mostly perfect. 4.5 stars.

When I was in middle school this kid Nick, who I was friends with since kindergarten, decided he didn't want to be my friend anymore - for middle school reasons. One day he was talking to another kid about The Doors and he says to me "I bet you don't even know The Doors." I pretended that I did and he asked what my favorite song was. I said I needed to think about it. So he continues talking about The Doors with whoever and I'm literally sitting right next to him. So I made mental notes of any song titles he mentioned. About 5 minutes later he circles back to questioning me, so I rattle of the songs I just heard him say. This seemed to satisfy him because he's an idiot, so he backed off. That weekend I made it my mission to get some Doors music because it seemed important to know what I was thinking about if I was questioned again - for middle school reasons. Anyhow, I got The Doors greatest hits on cassette. Studied it. Listened to it non stop until I liked it. Never talked to Nick again about The Doors, or probably about anything else either. Still like the Doors though.

This album is really fun! A few too many fillers, but the actual songs are all pretty great.

Probably would have been a 5 immediately after the first time I heard it. For some reason this album lost its luster really quick. I think that's sort of a Antinoff specialty. Hits you with (Melo) dramatic sounds that don't hold up after closer inspection. Still good songs, but something just ain't right.

Wonderful album! On the fence between 4 and 5 stars, but Debbie's amazing voice earnes that extra star all by itself.

2.5 stars. Rounded down because sometimes her voice is unbearable.

This album has never clicked with me. It's not bad, there's just nothing that makes me want to come back for more.

Remind Me is a good song, but nothing else grabbed me.

This is a 3.5, but I went with 4 because of the strength of the last four songs.

The Beautiful Ones and Computer Blue are weak spots, but everything else is perfection.

All the reviews on here are spot on. Starts with 3 bangers, then goes nowhere.

Intro is such a good song, but nothing else even comes close

This album reminds me my friend's assessment of post Kid A Radiohead: I liked them more when they made songs. Ended up enjoying it more than I did when it first came out, but I don't love it. 2.5

I hate how much I love Morrissey.

Good, but ultimately pretty boring.

This is idiot music for idiots, and I love it. My dad had this on 8 track, and I listened to it all the time just because it was fun to play with the 8 track player. Sentimentality wins this time!

I didn't enjoy a single note of this.

Nearly perfect. The lyrics are just stupid enough to dock a point.

I don't care for the music or the vocals from Steely Dan. Other than that, they're OK.

Not offensively bad, just boring

I sometimes get Dizee Rascal confused with Rascal Flatts.

This is the kind of album that's very hard to rate. It's not bad, I just don't like it.

It's 4AM. You're drunk. All your friends went home. You stare into the nearly extinguished bonfire. You should have gone to bed hours ago. Your every thought seems brilliant, yet fleeting. This music makes sense in this moment.

I don't do the right kind of drugs for this.

I liked the talk about microtones and the counting to like 15 or whatever, but to my western ears it all sounds the same.

The songs are really good. The experiments are not as listenable, but are short enough to keep it interesting.

Creedence has a distinct sound that's all them. Some songs start to sound the same because of it, but it's all still good.

Loses a star for being a double album. Ain't nobody got time for that.

Some potential here, but I don't think I'd ever choose to listen to this again.

Some parts border on the anxiety inducing type of jazz that I can't get into. Overall, the good outweighs the bad.

Waste of a great band name.

I've listened to this a couple times over the years when I see it mentioned as being great beyond Take On Me. I still don't think it's that good beyond the obviously great single.

The Police are most definitely a Greatest Hits band. And the hits are just OK.

A little Hammond goes a long way. A unique sound that starts to feel like novelty music after a while. Edges close to being carousel music or a soap opera theme. I like Green Onions a lot, obviously, and their Christmas album is great.

Fine as quiet background music at a dimly lit hipster bar. Nothing memorable here though.

Impressive that this was 1986. So many 90s bands copied this sound.

Someone Like You is a great song. The rest of the radio hits are meh, and the deep cuts are mostly boring.

Every song is great.

Bored

This album sounds like an attempt to recreate Odelay, but not quite hitting the mark. 2.5 stars

If you don't think I like ABBA you don't know me at all.

Bonus for being ahead of their time. Bonus for some interesting sounds and artwork. The problem is that I would never purposely listen to Kraftwerk, and I don't really care for the repetitive electronic music they influenced.

Each song stays exactly as long as it needs to stay... And then sticks around for 5 more minutes.

Some of the songs are just too long, but this is a really good album.

Massive Attack with female vocalists is the best Massive Attack.

Probably a 2, but I'm feeling generous.

Not as good as Schools Out, but still really good. There's a couple cornball songs, but the good outweighs the bad. 3.5 stars. Bumped up to 4 because a few songs sound like demented Paul McCartney & Wings songs.

Some good songs, but a little bit too long. Some of the vocals sound weak and possibly flat.

This album is amazing from start to finish. I saw someone complain about there being too many covers, but Carole King wrote all these songs. Her versions are not the covers!

Enjoyably dark and 80s

Oddball music.

Sympathy and Street Fight are all time greats. I liked a few others that I wasn't familiar with.

No me gusta

I never got into Soungarden, even when I was big into PJ, Nirvana, etc... But I enjoyed this album more than I thought I would. There's some good stuff on here, but it could be trimmed in bit. 70 minutes is a lot. High 3, low 4.

Love me some Neil Young, but he's definitely a Greatest Hits musician.

As someone who gravitates towards vocal melody, this isn't really my bag. But the music is good and I like the attitude.

Shine On could be trimmed. Welcome to the Machine kind of irritates me. But overall, I love this album!

The vocals and the music sound like they are from 2 different songs. Never been able to get into this album.

Nothing memorable here at all.

I liked this more than I thought I would.

Nothing on here that I want to revisit, but not bad.

Some good stuff, but plenty of misses

Not my favorite Blur album, but pretty good

There's some really great moments on this, but I'm not about to listen to 25 minutes to hear the 3 minute section I liked. This quote on Wikipedia sums it up: After the album was released, Newman said he preferred the demo versions: "They were complete melodies in themselves – with intros and fade-outs or ends. I liked them very much and was a little nonplussed when Mike strung them all together."

I do not like this band.

Not my favorite Bruce album. This one is just OK to me. Maybe it's too much keyboards?

This is really good stuff. Their 1978 album Chairs Missing is probably a 5 star. This one is a high 3, low 4.

This one is a mood more than a collection of songs. I like The Cure a lot more when they play songs.

This album is amazing. The beats are great, the lyrics are clever. I understand not wanting to listen to Kanye because of things he's said and done, but I think he's having severe mental health problems. He's not dealing with his issues, and he doesn't deserve a platform NOW. But this album was obviously recorded by a different person.

I've tried to get into this album before, but I just can't. I always end up listening to Fat Albert Rotunda instead.

808080808 caught my attention. This is just electronic dance music though - not my bag, baby, even if it was influential and before it's time.

I like the songs where the vocals are mixed to the front. Even when you can't tell what he's saying, it's nice to have a vocal melody to offset the manic guitars.

I love The Fall. I love how every song feels like it's about to come apart at the seams. I live the "singing" style. All that said, I have a hard time listening to a full album by them. In small doses it's wonderful.

If the songs were all less than 3 minutes I'd give it a five. There's a lot to like about this album, but the songs get repetitive and repetitive.

Kept going between 2 and 3 as I listened. Settled on a 2 because there's nothing here I really want to revisit.

Couple misses, but the hits make up for them.

Really cool sounds, but repetition and super long songs are not my thing.

Definitely not essential listening, but pretty good

Not as charming as College Dropout, not as weird as Yeezus. Never liked this album.

2.5 Bumped to a 3 for sentimental reasons, but I'm fine never hearing this again.

I feel bad not giving this a 5 because Buddy Holly is great. OK, I just talked myself into giving it a 5.

Human Behavior is such a good song. I listened to it on repeat after I finished the album. Bjork's voice is amazing, but unfortunately the stars rarely all align like they do on that song. Lots of meandering with little structure to the rest of the album.

You'd think I would love the band that "kicked off Britpop" but I do not enjoy Suede. Annoying vocals. The music borders on interesting, but never quite gets there.

Really good, just a bit too long.

The songs with Kravitz are the best of the bunch, but even those are just OK.

Should probably be docked down to a one for this line alone: "Everybody do like a monkey If you want to go on and be funky"

I actually really like this band. The songs are all a bit too long, constantly my criticism of electronic music.

I really like a lot of Sparks songs, but in album form it's a bit much.

I liked the music, but the vocals never quite seemed to match.

This album gets better after multiple listens, but it's not an essential listen.

Gets a bit too repetitive. Far from my favorite talking heads album. 🤷

I tried to get into this back in the 90s when Eddie Vedder was dueting with him. I soon realized that I only enjoy western music. And that's fine.

I don't even really like the one song this is famous for.

Overly dramatic and sappy. Still good though, but... It's... A... Lot

Better than I thought it was going to be. I bet if I give this another listen I'll like it more. I started off not caring for each song, and liking it by the end.

I love her voice, but this collection is really boring.

It's good electronic music, but it's still electronic music. plus their second album is way better.

Interesting concept, but soundtracks usually are good because they remind me of the movie. Mark Mothersbaugh's Wes Anderson soundtracks are a good example. Who cares about this?

I hated everything about this.

This doesn't seem very different from any number of singer-songwriters. Good, but nothing special.

2.5 moved up because of the brevity of most songs and American Girl is great.

Started off OK, but after 3 songs I was ready for it to end.

I listened to this a few months ago after not hearing it since the 90s. I hated it. Now I listened to it again and I've warmed up to it quite a bit. Strange how multiple listens change opinions.

The storytelling is just so good on this album. I don't like some of the character's voices and a few songs are too long, but the lyrics overcome.

Musically a 5. Vocals drop it down quite a bit.

Not nearly as good as Good Kid

Way too long! Way too much synthesiser! 2.5 stars. Sorry.

The 2 songs that border on interesting are right at the beginning. Then nothing else even comes close.

There's a good run of songs starting with Only Love Can Break Your Heart through Don't Let it Bring You Down - Southern Man being the standout - but Neil Young is definitely a Greatest Hits artist.

I didn't hate the vocals much as most reviewers seem to. It's interesting. Not sure if I like it or not. Giving it a 3. On a different day I could see myself giving it a 1.

20 minute medley? No thanks.

I hoped I would like this more than I did.

Background music

3.5 I love their sound, but knock it down to a 3 for being repetitive electronic music.

Seems like the vocal melodies have no relation to the music.

I know it probably took forever to program the patterns into the primitive synthesisers. I don't need to hear it for 6 minutes straight though.

I like some stereolab songs, but I've never been able to get into this album. It's not bad, but nothing really sticks. Also I hate the album cover and title.

75 minutes / 8 songs = 1 star

This is the one and I am the resurrection are good enough on their own to earn this one a 5. But there's at least 5 more bangers on the album. One of my favorite albums ever.

I would love this album if I was an even bigger fork than I am.

Just enough irritating moments to prevent me from giving a 5.

One drugs, please.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Technically good, but not enough variety.

Not enough variety in the music, and not enough vocal melody to contrast the distinctive voice.

The Bends and OK Computer are 2 of my favorite albums ever.

4.5, but feeling generous.

Hotel California and The Last Resort are great songs. Sandwiched between them is everything I hate about 70s rock.

Can't go more than 30 seconds without either a corny lyric or a corny vocal delivery or a corny synth. The good parts are great, but overall I can't get into it.

It all sounds the same

I never could get into this band. Seems like the sort of thing I'd like, but nothing ever quite sticks.

This album is all about the production. The rapping and lyrics are not as important as the beats and samples.

From Synchronicity II through Wrapped Around is a great run of songs. The rest I can do without.

Not a bad showing, but not his best.

There's some fun songs, especially Know Your Product, but lots of songs are indistinguishable from each other.

What a strange discovery! I only knew I'm Not in Love from 10cc. I thought they were like a yacht rock band or something. This is like Sparks and Queen. It also really reminded me of the album Congratulations by MGMT in that the songs are constantly shifting and not taking themselves too seriously. I feel like I need to listen to this a few more times to really get it. I'm thinking a 3.5. I'm going with a 4 because of how much it surprised me. I may end up reevaluating it lower.

This is what oldies radio sounded like in the 99s

A funky good time.

Every Morrissey album has one or two amazing songs. This one has Everyday is Like Sunday, and Suedehead. Two of the best songs ever. There's a couple other tracks that are fine, and the rest is mopey ballads that don't go anywhere.

Docked a point for being a double album.

I have a soft spot for Rush. What else can I say.

I've tried to get into this album before because it seems like it would be the kind of thing I like. It doesn't do anything for me though. Not bad though, just uninteresting.

This was quite a fun listen. I might go learn Portuguese.

Impressive debut!

Love the short little ditties on this album. The 2 instrumentals break it up nicely.

Never thought this was as good as I was told it was. The harmonies are good, but all the songs blur together except for the hits that bookend it.

I have to give the -1 double album penalty here. Musically it's a 3, but the limitations of the rating system means that this ends up rated lower than the Korn album. Maybe I need to reevaluate my rating system. And my life.

Not essential.

Days after I gave a shockingly low 2 star rating to Electric Ladyland, this album shows up to set the record straight. This one is a genuine 5 star effort.

Wednesday Week was the only song I was already familiar with, and it's the clear standout here. The rest is pretty fun. I liked Hard Luck a lot. Sometimes the vibrato was annoying. Overall, a solid effort.

Odd turns of phrase. Too many words crammed into too little space. Music sounds like it could fall apart into a mess at any moment. I love it.

When Shake it Off came out one of my friends was complaining that it was horrible. I said, "but it's so catchy" to which he replied "like that's what makes music good." Sometimes, yes, that what makes music good.

I like the first 2 albums a lot more than this one. Still not bad though.

I'd rate it higher if it was shorter. An hour of doom and gloom and monster riffs is a bit much.

Just makes me want to hear Bob Marley.

3.5 I actually liked this more than I thought I would.

Totally grungified!

I'm tempted to take a point off just because this is Young's 7th appearance so far. But it's still not bad.

I hate this shit so much!

I forgot what this sounded like immediately after it ended.

My usual prog rock complaint is that you have to listen to too much nonsense in between interesting parts. This one didn't really have interesting parts.

I like a lot of Mingus, especially the song Moanin, and the album Mingus ah um. This one is just too "experimental" for me. I found the whole thing irritating.

Send My Love is my favorite Adele song. Water under the bridge is OK. Everything else is blah.

A very fine version of the blues.

This one is nostalgic because my college roommate and I listened to it a ton back in the day. It's a little weak towards the end, but the first 8 songs are great. Can't give it anything less than a 5.

I could not get interested in this at all.

I love Chrissie Hynde's singing style. Sometimes the music isn't as interesting as her voice. 4.5, bumped up because of the Cleveland references in Precious.

I can't believe I don't hate this. It's just so pleasant and inoffensive. Parts are reminiscent of Steely Dan, which should be a deal breaker for me, but never reached those irritating heights.

Great voice, but the songs just don't go anywhere.

One Mudhoney album on this list is enough, and the other one is better.

A group of people playing instruments and chanting with no regard for what the others are chanting and playing. If that's what poly rhythmic means, I'll stick with just the one rhythm, thank you.

Ian Dury definitely has some fun songs. Clever Trevor or Sex and Drugs and Rock and Roll are OK to hear every once in a while, but an intire album of his shtick gets tiresome. 2.5 stars

This and OK Computer are the only two Radiohead albums I truly love. The little flute sound towards the end of the song The Bends is one of my favorite pieces of music ever.

Nothing special. Don't care for the vocalist, but the music is OK.

Probably a 2, but I'm feeling generous

At its most interesting moments this sounds like DVD menu music.

She's got a nice voice, but I don't understand how this is one of the best selling albums of all time.

Minus one for being a live album. Plus one for being short, so that cancels out. 2 stars because every song sounds the same. Fine for background music at a fancy restaurant, I guess.

My friend, half asleep, took a phone call and agreed to help out with what he thought was a video shoot in Chicago. Turns out he accidentally agreed to go on tour with the band Chicago for like 8 months helping with the video projectors for their stage show. He hates the band. This will never not be funny to me.

Maybe his best.

Lots of bangers. Drums are great. Starts to falter towards the end, but then it's over.

I like her voice and lyrics, but musically it's just not my thing.

I actually liked this one a lot more than Heartattack and Vine. But it's just too much. The same thing for over an hour. No thanks.

Almost every song has the same guitar tone and lack of vocal melody. Good Fortune and This Mess We're In stand out from the crowd.

This is a really fun album. Can be a bit corny at times, but you'll have that when horns are involved.

Golden years is great. The rest is....not. TVC15 is OK, but this album doesn't do anything for me.

Once you realize that the bugs are actually features, AC/DC clicks.

Like all Morrissey albums there's 4 or 5 tracks that I absolutely love. The slower mopey stuff I can do without, but The More You Ignore Me and Speedway and a few others elevate this to greatness.

Thus is so far removed from what I like about music, I don't know what to say.

I've always thought this band was just OK. Probably would be cool to hear in a small venue, listening at home, it gets very samey-samey.

The title song is good, but I like the upbeat version of it a lot more. This is a downer of an album, and nothing really stands out from the rest. Needs more variety!

Very pretty. Hearing Staralfur when they find the shark in The Life Aquatic on the big screen was amazing.

Double album. Minus one point. Live album. Minus one point. If this had been cut down by 90 munutes I could overlook the fact that it's a live album.

The problem with unique sounding bands is all the songs can end up sounding the same. I really like a few JD songs, but none of them are on this album.

I've heard them all a million times. Don't really need to hear most of this ever again, but it's still really good.

Not satisfied

I felt like there was too much going on production wise.

The last 3 songs are all bangers, bumping this up to a 4.

I actually really like Can, even though the songs are long and repetitive.

This was surprisingly good. I've only heard the title track, but the whole thing holds up.

There's some corniness for sure, but I love The Who and I have a thing for rock operas. I'm not deducting my one point penalty for double albums because I make the rules. Not gonna do it for The Wall when that comes up either.

The fact that this is their 15th album says a lot about The Fall. I think they could have benefitted from some editing. Cut some songs down, cut some completely. But I like The Fall a lot. This is a 3.5 rounded up to combat some of the unnecessarily negative reviews.

A challenging, but ultimately rewarding listen.

3 seems too low. 4 seems too high. I'm going to round up cuz the title track and Movin Out are bangers.

Pretty good late 60s SF sound. Nothing amazing.

I've not heard this one and I never really cared for Husker Du, so I wasn't sure what I was in for. Some reviews here say it's generic 90s alt, but looking at the year it came out, it seems like it defined the sound, not imitated it. 3.5 stars. Influential, but I don't like a lot of the bands they inspired.

The ads are fun, but the songs are just OK outside of Miles and Miles.

2.5 This was a weird trip! There was definitely some good basslines, but mostly it's just generic pop. The covers are not great and there's I think three of them, so I'm rounding down.

Gasoline, Fresh & Clean, and Ms Jackson are all amazing songs. Bombs Over Baghdad is probably one of the best songs ever recorded. Can't give it a five because of all the filler though.

It's good but not great. Too many songs are too similar to each other.

This is my favorite discovery of this project so far. Lovely stuff!

I like the music more than the vocals.

All the hallmarks of 90s pop punk. Not my thing, but it's well done, I guess.
