The Next Day
David Bowie
Looked through the tracklist like I normally do and for such a "big" artist I was expecting to know at least one of the songs on the album. I haven't heard of any of them which is a bad sign. I then noticed the album release date, newer Bowie. Oh no!!!
Not one song on here grabbed my attention.
Feel like it's only been put on here because it Bowie, it's a shame, really, because I'm sure there are some banging albums from around this time that didn't get into this list.
I would set the world on fire if I was made to listen to this again

First half of album
Starting off with a couple of instrumentals not a good idea, yeah ok the music isn't offensive but come on give me some excitement. When they did start singing in track 3 I could hardly hear what he was saying it was that quite. There was also an annoying ticking clock, I honestly thought the crocodile from Peter pan was in my living room it was that over the top.
Second half of album
A better start at least there is lyrics I can hear, even if the were not the easiest to understand. But track 4 has a weird 30 seconds at the end where I think they forgot they were still recording. The. The next track they seem to have forgotten vocals again. Luckily they remember them for the final track. I'm struggling to find a positive for this album, but I really can't.
In summary:
Track lengths are far too long. Don't see any point to this album.

The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill
Lauryn Hill
I have said it before and I will say it again you don't need an into into your album, you just need to start it with a bannger.
Also why does it have speaking parts from some bloke it breaks up the music and flow. Havent got to the end of the first proper track and already pissed off with this album.
WHY IS THERE PEOPLE TALKING AT THE END OF THE TRACKS!!! It's unnecessary and a waste of everybodys time. Its like they have forgot to stop recording after each song. When Lauryn actually sings its not too bad, unfortunately that is too infrequent.
Overall I would have wanted to rate this higher, but I can't because of the constant talking at the end of tracks. The track lengths were fat to long, this album could have been done in 2/3 of the time if it wasn't for all the messing about. Won't go back and listen again. Maybe she should get some education on how to do an album properly or find a decent producer who knows when to cut off a track .

This is a realy unconventional Album, and I really don't like it. Why are there 3 tracks under a minute? It just seems to slow the album down and make it disjointed. I could possibly forgive the first one at the start of the album, Because I can see what he's trying to do and I didn't mind the nostalgia hit. However the other two are just annoying and pointless. Then he goes and puts a track that on here that just under 10 minutes, MAKE YOUR MIND UP!!!!!. I have said it before, any song that is over 5 minutes needs to be something special and unfortunately pyramids isn't that. I would rather climb a pyramid than have to listen to that song again. Also don't like particularly hearing the N word in songs, most of the time there is no need for it. Also there are bits of talking in the songs that just don't work for me.
I feel like this has been a pretty negative review so I will end on a positive I like how the first track is called start, and the last track is called end.

This is probably why somebody shot him, maybe he should have become a soldier after all, then at least it would have been a fair fight.
When I came back I'm not sure if it was better or I had just calmed down a bit. Nothing really stood out from the album. And if we are being honest I'll probably only ever hear imagine again on the radio.

At this, I was ready to drop this down to a 4
Luckily, Harrison saves the day with here comes the sun, and another couple of songs afterwords ( golden slumbers and carry that weight) pushed it back to a five star.
Over all I think the first half of the album ( apart from I want you ) does all the heavy lifting. And when I listen to it again I will be listening to tracks 1-5,7-8,11,12,14-15 the rest aren't needed.

I wanted to just listen to the music I didn't need all the bits in between, like I don't need to hear you asking if the guitar is in tune.
Music when he played was good, but you can't play the same song twice in a row and count it as two tracks on an album.
I feel like I had a visual recording of this I probably would have scored it slightly higher.

I have said it before and I will say it again there is no need for intros for an album just get on with the music. Also why do they keep having interludes after every couple of songs. It breaks it up and it's totally unnecessary, and in all honestly annoyed me. They could have save nearly five minutes removing this shit from the album.
There are only 2 songs on here that I might go and listen to again. Miss Jackson and B.O.B. and they are probably the reason why this isn't a 1 star review.

Wilco is described as an American rock band. However, I have got more rock in my little toe. This is a slow and boring album. War on war is the first time you hear anything remotely close to rock, and that's 15 minutes into the album
It doesn't even kick off from then it goes back to being slow and dull.
Feel like this is what you would gey if you ordered a radio head album from wish

Slipknot
Not going to lie these guys are a little bit weird. I have never really listened to any of their music. This album had some good tracks ( 'Snuff', 'Sulfur' and 'Psychosocial' ) I'm not sure if I would listen to the whole thing again but will definitely go back and listen to some of the tracks and might go and find some of their other stuff.

On a positive note the guitar was very good. However on most of the songs it felt like there was somthing missing. Also it gave me Rod Stewart vibes

I am not surprised this is the last album they recorded. the real question is why they were allowed to make 2 albums. Also, this album is way too long. This honestly gave me a headache!!!!

I can't believe that this band is back on this list. I can't see what all the fuss is about. They are just a bunch of mopey lads. if you want any happiness sucked out of you then listen to these boys.

When I Was Born For The 7th Time
Cornershop
It was a bit of a slogger. There is nothing on here worth coming back for. also, it had a couple of instrumental tracks that don't go anywhere. when I read that there was a ' lot of smoking going on ' whilst the album was recorded it all made sense. I'm not sure if it would be better or worse if there was no smoking whilst they made it.

I recognised a few tunes in this album however the ones I didn't recognise were very repetitive. Overall it was far too long and did not have enough variety to keep me interested

(What's The Story) Morning Glory
Oasis
I will start with the positives. most of the songs are superb. The total time doesn't feel too long ( probably because the songs are good). I very much enjoyed this album.
However, I think you could probably reduce this album to 9 songs and not lose anything. I personally would get rid of the first song and just kick it off with ' Roll with it ', as well as the two swamp songs.
I considered giving this 5 stars, but couldn't do it. Champagne Supernova is a good song but I think the album would have been better if they had finished with either 'Wonderwall' or 'Dont look Back in Anger'

It's got some banging songs on here. all the classics. had a fun time listening to it
however, I'm not a fan of a live album, so if I was going to listen to these songs again I would try and find studio releases of them.

Millions Now Living Will Never Die
Tortoise
This was utter shit!!!!! A song over 20 minutes long that didn't do anything. A totally instrumental album and just boring music. This album is a stain on the credibility of this list. Whoever put the list together must be related to one of these geezers. Because nobody likes this. The peak position in the charts for this was 115th. Just to put that into perspective.The smurfs also released an album in 1996 called ‘the smurfs go pop’ and that peaked at number 2 and had 29 weeks in the top 40. Yet it doesn't appear on this list.
If I recorded the noise I make from the toilet on a loop for 45 minutes I reckon it would make a better album.

I didn't really like this. There were too many record-scratching sound effects, and her voice was a bit drony. it was also a bit slow for me, which made 50 minutes feel like about 500.
