A Christmas Gift For You From Phil Spector

All Ratings

Peter Gabriel

2/5

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

3/5

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'

Otis Blue/Otis Redding Sings Soul

Otis Redding

3/5

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 very outdated lyrics occasionally also don't end every line with 'now' please favourite song: '(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction Rolling Stones cover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

ZZ Top

2/5

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

Miles Davis

2/5

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

Nine Inch Nails

4/5

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

Black Sabbath

4/5

would be a 5/5 as instrumentals only

Fred Neil

5/5

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

The Doors

4/5

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

Sometimes I Wish We Were An Eagle

Bill Callahan

2/5

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

Bee Gees

4/5

if the beatles made good music

The Holy Bible

Manic Street Preachers

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

Hot Fuss

4/5

Eurythmics

2/5

except for the one song the album is named after it's boring AF

Straight Outta Compton

N.W.A.

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

Jack White

2/5

not very interesting and with stupid lyrics

Venus Luxure No. 1 Baby

cowboy music for boring people

The Notorious Byrd Brothers

The Byrds

2/5

Pacific Ocean Blue

Fromohio

fIREHOSE

4/5

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

Jefferson Airplane

4/5

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

Inspiration Information

Shuggie Otis

Ramones

2/5

fun songs but I just can't stand those vocals

Moondance

Van Morrison

3/5

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

Third

Soft Machine

5/5

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

no thanks

Ágætis Byrjun

Sigur Rós

4/5

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

La Revancha Del Tango

Gotan Project

2/5

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

Foxbase Alpha

Saint Etienne

2/5

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

Holger Czukay

1/5

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

Unknown Pleasures

Joy Division

3/5

forgettable rock

Drunk

Thundercat

2/5

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

Daydream Nation

Sonic Youth

3/5

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

Dolly Parton

2/5

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

The Isley Brothers

3/5

pretty cool. nothing i'd listen to but cool

Peggy Suicide

Julian Cope

1/5

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

Patti Smith

5/5

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

Bob Dylan

4/5

5/5

nice. saved, will be listened to again

Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge

Mudhoney

5/5

neat punk with some great variation. saved.

Southern Rock Opera

Drive-By Truckers

1/5

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.

The Seldom Seen Kid

Elbow

4/5

i liked it but probably won't listen to it again.

Good Old Boys

Randy Newman

1/5

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

Sleater-Kinney

4/5

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

The Low End Theory

A Tribe Called Quest

2/5

not a fan of oldschool hiphop

Nevermind

Nirvana

4/5

deserve the hype they got, just not my style
