Third by Soft Machine

now this is the kinda weird shit i am looking for drone, jazz, rock, electronic. only thing i'm not into is the vocals on track 3

All Ratings (76)

So by Peter Gabriel
Nov 20 2023

comically 80s. goes between disney movie soundtrack and musical 'Sledgehammer' is the least boring song on the album and it's kinda dull too.

Garbage by Garbage
Nov 21 2023

combines some of my most hated song mechanics (cool instrumental that stops for the vocals) and one of my favourites (short moments of complete silence) fantastic relaxed female vocals the high pitched echoey electric guitar definitely gets on my nerves and seems to be all over the album. yikes same thing with the high pitched synth favourite song: 'As Heaven Is Wide'

Nov 22 2023

fairly boring soul instrumental with some extremely impressive vocals. very outdated lyrics occasionally also don't end every line with 'now' please favourite song: '(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction Rolling Stones cover

Eliminator by ZZ Top
Nov 23 2023

the problem with genre defining albums is that it becomes the average of all following music that apes it. the result is that i find this album boring despite how much stuff *should* interest me. the exception is the bassline on 'Thug' and also 'If I Could Only Flag Her Down'

Bitches Brew by Miles Davis
Nov 24 2023

good jazz has the ability to interest and bore me at the same time. impressive playing on several instruments at once blurring together to become nothing at all. only real exception on the entire album for me is the 2nd half of 'Miles Runs the Voodoo Down' which funnily enough sounds like it doesn't have Miles playing for a long while? maybe i just don't like trumpet

The Downward Spiral by Nine Inch Nails
Nov 25 2023

the harder songs are way better than the gentle ones. 'Mr. Self Destruct' and 'Big Man With A Gun' being my favourites. 'Reptile' is also great. shocked that 'Closer' is the most popular song on the album being my least favourite. also hearing the original 'Hurt' after Johnny Cash's cover lol. wtf is that instrumental?

Paranoid by Black Sabbath
Nov 26 2023

would be a 5/5 as instrumentals only

Fred Neil by Fred Neil
Nov 27 2023

starts off VERY slow and gets better as the album goes on. the last few songs are S tier and the final semi-experimental instrumental track is fantastic. album saved and will be listened to again

Morrison Hotel by The Doors
Nov 28 2023

great guitar, great vocals (both the clean on the whole album and the rougher vocals on maggie m'gill), great bass, decent melodica. all other instruments were excessively repeditive and unbalanced. the electric piano on ship of fools and land ho! becomes physically painful to listen to. despite this ship of fools ended up being one of my favourites. favourites: ship of fools and maggie m'gill

Nov 29 2023

the first half of the album he talk-sings like he doesn't want to be there. only 2 good songs: all thoughts are prey to some beast, and faith/void

Trafalgar by Bee Gees
Nov 30 2023

if the beatles made good music

The Holy Bible by Manic Street Preachers
Dec 01 2023

just what you'd expect from uk alt rock / alt punk of the era. vocals overly whingy sometimes decentish lyrics

Happy Trails by Quicksilver Messenger Service
Dec 03 2023

kinda boring rock-n-roll

White Blood Cells by The White Stripes
Dec 04 2023

good album with some amazing songs.

The Doors by The Doors
Dec 05 2023

mixed better than the morrison hotel, otherwise identical to that album. except for 'break on through'. couldn't tell any other song apart on the entire album

Hot Fuss by The Killers
Dec 06 2023

mr. brightside and somebody told me are amazing, as we all knew. all the other tracks are kinda eh.

Post Orgasmic Chill by Skunk Anansie
Dec 08 2023

brilliant punk rock. first song felt a bit repeditive though.

Dec 11 2023

not interested in old-school hiphop. a lot of the lyrics are just bad. i won't complain about getting some Ice Cube though

Blunderbuss by Jack White
Dec 12 2023

not very interesting and with stupid lyrics

Venus Luxure No. 1 Baby by Girls Against Boys
Dec 13 2023

very generic-sounding. at least the band gets a mood going i am just not interested in listening to yet another rock band with sighing bored vocals

Dec 15 2023

cool idea with a fairly mediocre execution. some of the lyrics were funny at least

Beautiful Freak by Eels
Dec 17 2023

brilliant. saved. will be listened to again

Dec 18 2023

god this shit is boring bullet the blue sky is alright i guess actually it dragged on way too long. the first half of bullet the blue sky is good.

Pacific Ocean Blue by Dennis Wilson
Dec 21 2023

the jazzier elements were cool. otherwise it was just mostly bland. got through the first hour / disk then got bored

Fromohio by fIREHOSE
Dec 22 2023

sometimes does some jazzier / experimental instrumentals that i really appreciate and then quickly quits for some reason. Riddle of the Eighties being the clearest example. otherwise it's a pretty good rocky album with neat vocals

Surrealistic Pillow by Jefferson Airplane
Dec 23 2023

don't you WANT somebody to love, don't you NEED somebody to love?

Grace by Jeff Buckley
Dec 25 2023

amazing. love it. album saved, and will be listened to again.

Ramones by Ramones
Dec 27 2023

fun songs but I just can't stand those vocals

Moondance by Van Morrison
Dec 28 2023

eh. boring, but in a kinda relaxing way? nothing i'd listen to but not the worst of its kind

Third by Soft Machine
Dec 29 2023

now this is the kinda weird shit i am looking for drone, jazz, rock, electronic. only thing i'm not into is the vocals on track 3

The Next Day by David Bowie
Dec 30 2023

i am nothing but bored. only gets a 2 because it didn't make me physically recoil

Basket of Light by Pentangle
Dec 31 2023

neat music with some cool instruments and good vocals.

Ágætis Byrjun by Sigur Rós
Jan 02 2024

neat chill rock. not something i'll listen to again but neat.

La Revancha Del Tango by Gotan Project
Jan 03 2024

an album of songs that will inevitably be chopped up for rap beats, and be better for it

Foxbase Alpha by Saint Etienne
Jan 04 2024

i have no idea. i can't remember any of the songs, and listening back to them again i can't tell you what i feel about them. they exist.

Movies by Holger Czukay
Jan 05 2024

too weird to be ignored and left in the background, too repeditive to listen actively to. physically painful

Drunk by Thundercat
Jan 07 2024

amazing basslines, brilliant beats, forgettable-to-awful leads, garbage lyrics. meow meow meow

Daydream Nation by Sonic Youth
Jan 08 2024

most instrumental parts are S-tier but i just don't like the vocals. The Sprawl (after the vocals are over) and Providence are my favourite tracks

Coat Of Many Colors by Dolly Parton
Jan 09 2024

seeing how much good dolly parton has done for the world, and hearing just how good she is at singing, i feel that i want to enjoy her music more but i am just bored. the emotional lyrics don't affect me at all, but at least i can smile at the comedy lyrics.

3 + 3 by The Isley Brothers
Jan 10 2024

pretty cool. nothing i'd listen to but cool

Peggy Suicide by Julian Cope
Jan 11 2024

i am not listening to 2.5h of an album i'm not interested in. track 10 was alright. would be better without the vocals though.

Horses by Patti Smith
Jan 12 2024

not a big fan to start off, but by song 4 i was hooked. album saved and will be listened to again FREE MONEY

Highway 61 Revisited by Bob Dylan
Jan 13 2024

listening to this I understand the hype surrounding bob dylan. not sure if ill listen to it more or not but it good

The Wildest! by Louis Prima
Jan 16 2024

nice. saved, will be listened to again

Southern Rock Opera by Drive-By Truckers
Jan 18 2024

i got maybe 3 minutes into this 90 minute album before i died. a tumor grew on my brain so quickly i died on the spot. unironic hillbilly rock with no fun aspects.

Good Old Boys by Randy Newman
Jan 21 2024

wow does the first song not land well anymore. if it ever did. the rest of the songs probably suffer greatly on being on a concept album trying to be stereotypically southern. this guy probably can write decent lyrics even though none of these hit

Dig Me Out by Sleater-Kinney
Jan 22 2024

great vocals, good if a bit repeditive ocassionally instrumentals. Not What You Want saved, rest of the album gets to rest

Nevermind by Nirvana
Jan 24 2024

deserve the hype they got, just not my style

Pelican West by Haircut 100
Jan 25 2024

got about halfway through, bored

S&M by Metallica
Jan 27 2024

i don't like metallica at all. the orchestral stuff is cool when it works though.

Crosby, Stills & Nash by Crosby, Stills & Nash
Jan 28 2024

lady of the island saved, rest kinda boring tbh

The Clash by The Clash
Jan 30 2024

more music that is now boring because everyone copied them. also i don't like the vocals

Graceland by Paul Simon
Feb 01 2024

songs ranging from charming folk music to irritating folk music and acapella.

The Velvet Underground by The Velvet Underground
Feb 03 2024

nice and chill, but im just not a huge fan of the vocals

Blood And Chocolate by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Feb 05 2024

"i want you" saved. rest were boring.
