The Colour Of Spring
Talk Talksuper fun 80s album, I liked it a lot 8/10
super fun 80s album, I liked it a lot 8/10
I’m on a train and some of the sounds in the album confused me bc I couldn’t tell if it was the song or the train. I think the combo of the instrumental and the voice is interesting and I like it.
Wasn’t in the mood for this. Too noisy 4/10
Pretentious and unbearable 2/10
Very good! Long ish and not my usual genre but I enjoyed the whole thing. One of the better live albums we’ve gotten, also recently i have heard/seen more Kurt Cobain references than usual which is a funny coincidence 9/10
love a few of the songs!! the others r good by skippable imo. 8.5/10
dont think Bob Dylan is my thing but the music is p good. agree ab the harmonica -- it sucks ass.. esp when listening w/ headphones. 7/10
overall enjoyable to listen to and good album... none of the songs stood out to me tho. 8/10
I like this one
Feel like I have bad taste for this but I didn’t love love the album, feel like most of the songs ran a bit long, there’s a few I really liked tho
Don’t think I’d ever listen to the whole thing, feel like this could be a fire movie soundtrack or sum but I could not listen to the whole album in a sitting it was too much
bummed its not on Spotify. how poetic that we just watched love actually and the lady got this album from her adultry committing piece of shit husband and now we are listening to it. ily Joni
Feel like it wasn’t bad music but I didn’t like listening to it. The guitar and drum solos are sick but they bore me. Don’t think the listening experience of the album as an album is very good :/
Would not listen to any of the songs on their own but thought the album as a whole from start to finish was pretty good. Feel like this is good passive music to have in the background. 7/10
Hated the screamy part but liked everything else.. got better towards the end of the album, would not be upset if the album was longer w more of the less screamy vibes 7/10
Thought the first song was the best, didn’t love that one n didn’t love the rest of the album either. 4/10
Album was alright.. I like it but don’t know if I’d listen much on my own
strange bc I like the vibe of the album and it's not painful to listen to, I just dont think any of the songs are good -- wouldn't listen to any of em again. 5/10
Wasn’t very awake when I listened but a few of the songs were super good rest were fine 8/10
Expected to like this more… the songs were kind of repetitive and too long and just not enough singing to fill the song. I feel like the instrumental for no one said it would be easy sounds like something I would like but the song is just boring and not flowy. Feel like I just don’t like her style of song and she has some collabs I like better than the stuff on her albums
So not garbage !! I liked this a lot - feel like the songs worked together well n were also pretty varied - good listening experience, solid 9/10
Conflicted ab how to rate this bc I tried listening this morning when I was driving and it wasnt stimulating enough of noise so I stopped listening and thought I wasn’t gonna listen to the album but then later I played it when I was looking at Christmas lights w my friend and it was good background music and was able to talk over it comfortably. So like I think it’s 8/10 for background music but like 4/10 for listening experience. Thought the instrumental stuff was so boring and there were a few songs I didnt love even as background music… gonna avg to a 6/10 but don’t think numbers do a good job describing how I feel ab this album
Emperor tomato ketchup.. what a goofy name. Did not enjoy the first song so I was pleasantly surprised by the rest of the album. The electric techno vibe is not really my thing and I have too unrefined of an attention span for the amount of instrumentals/non singing bits present so don’t think I’d listen again… but I actually liked most of it, the French was fun I think I liked it better than the English parts 7/10 rounded down bc I don’t think I’d listen to any of the songs just cause
I mean it’s a Christmas album on Christmas.. there’s better and there’s worse 9/10
I like some of the songs a lot, other were eh, I think all of the songs ran a bit long for my taste but overall good 8/10
some of the songs were fire but lots of songs I would skip and also I don’t give a rats ass about johnnys birthday. the instrumentals at the end were very good but I just don’t enjoy listening to instrumentals like that. 8.5/10 mostly bc I enjoyed the songs I enjoyed
Rating things is such a mindfuck… 7/10 like the vibes, would listen to some of the songs again
Overall enjoyable, there’s a few songs I’ll def listen to again 8/10
Not a huge fan but don’t think the music is bad per se, just not something I see myself listening to — im not big on the whole techno electric thing but I think it’s executed well enough 5.5/10
I feel like w a lot of these I don’t actively dislike them but I just would never choose to listen to them… this to me was like someone got really into karaoke and popped off a little bit. I think there’s a bit of a disconnect between the music n the singing and the dudes voice is not super compelling 5/10
Had a 9/10 listening experience bc I was sat down w an absolutely gorgeous view of a lake w a bunch of cows infront of me and I did absolutely nothing else so I felt very in tune w nature. -1 because my brother and dad slightly disturbed me. Idk if any of yall seen a cow get up from sleeping and do a lil stretch but it’s SUPER cute. Esp baby cows. Kinda crazy how long they are able to sit still and stand still. Feel like i don’t see cows not eating very often so it was cool to see them chilling.
Grew up listening to lots of classical indian music and hear this guys name all the time n he lived in San Diego before he died so aunties would also talk ab seeing him live. He’s a super adulterous man super funny how the aunties never feel the need to talk ab that 😒. But yeah I just don’t love sitar on his own and enjoy traditional music best when it’s accompanied by dance bc I really enjoy watching barthanatyam. Also lack of lyrics made it a bit boring. I also don’t know how I feel ab the fact that this guys main goal(I think )was to get ppl who aren’t Indian to be educated ab our music. 6.5/10
Absolute gas, 9.9/10 -.1 bc I don’t love the beedoodumdadee stuff in the first song but that’s literally the only thing I have to say
Pretty damn horrendous but I got through it which is better than I was expecting and deserves some credit ig. I’m just thinking ab how someone definitely produced this and listened and okayed it which is pretty bold and pretentious. As far as music goes this is p bad but I guess I’d still call it music. 2.5/10
Liked this one better than the last beastie boys album. Not 100% my thing but still good 7.9/10
I have lots of thoughts… First song felt like gossip girl vibes w the talking over the instrumentals being p sparse, rest of the album kinda felt like a movie soundtrack. Idk how I’d rate if I read the Wikipedia after I listened bc I really liked the instrumentals, but the French man talking is very not sexy to me… and him repeatedly saying melody is so gross and also not musically entertaining either !! also the sex noises in en melody were very disturbing! Apparently the album cover is a photo of his partner who is pregnant and 18 yrs younger than him.. and they got together while she was 22 and married to someone else which is interesting ig. And she’s the one featured in some of the songs. I like the instrumentals but read way too much Wikipedia ab this to not think it’s super fucked up and perverted and be icked out by the voices. Not gonna rate out of 10 bc idk what I would even put
English post punk is super bizzare to me but I fw this 8/10
Love the energy, not flawless but enjoyed the whole thing 9/10
Good background music fs but dont think it was particularly compelling… not sure why its the best selling piano album 7/10 round down
This is not the bharatanatyam this is the cha cha cha 😂 that line made me chuckle. There’s something about old timey Indian music that makes me so warm and fuzzy inside.. I didn’t grow up watching Bollywood movies, but this sound in general is very nostalgic for me so im def biased. I feel like this album was def chosen cause there are white people in the movie and it was also released in English, not sure if that’s bad or good bc it’s def more globally present bc of that. There’s def Bollywood songs I like more than any of the songs on this album, but I’ve never listened to their albums so don’t know if there’s anything I think would be better suited for the list.. I think the music is good enough, I liked a few songs but there were also a few boring ones. Liked some of the trumpet bits but overall I think the parts w/ more western influence and English I liked less. 7.5/10
Overall I found this album unexciting, can’t really point out anything horrible or amazing but didn’t love the overall energy 5.5/10
totally not what I was expecting... haven't really listened to sufjan Stevens but I have a friend whose obsessed and I thought I was gonna be sobbing through the whole thing but it wasn't too depressing. I really liked the music and the variety in instruments and I felt like the whole album was curated very nicely. big fan 9/10
It was pretty funky and I could feel the story but I think this would work a lot better paired w a visual art like film or dance or sum. I didn’t love it as just background music bc I don’t love the sound of the trombone(?) sometimes but it was pretty solid overall. Also realizing how much I love pacific time, I miss rating things at nine and being asleep at 9:15. 6/10
Love! 9/10
Pretty good but did not enjoy how repetitive it was 7.5/10
Mostly fine, haven’t been too locked in while listening 7/10
As far as instrumentals go, I like the noises in this one a lot. It was really fun! Like imo this should be a 4 but the fact that I think an instrumental should be a 4 makes it a 5 I think. 9/10
Not super compelling but didn’t completely miss the mark. It was okay but don’t think I’d listen again 6/10
Ugh I fucking love this album it just makes me feel so warm and happy inside when I hear it. Billy Joel is amazing and idk this just exudes positivity 9.5/10
I liked this! I can’t tell if I was awake for the middle part of the album or not but either way my subconscious has heard it. the Spotify reccomended songs that played after the album were so good so I think that might impact my rating 8/10
So is prolly one of my more fav albums from this so was kinda bummed that I didn’t like this as much. 6/10
feel like a bunch of the recent albums have felt like this to me; there's nothing bad ab it but I also would rather be listening to something else and it doesn't do anything great. fine for background music because id be happy to talk over this, not that that's a negative thing but not sure if thi 5.5/10
reading the wikipedia and its talking ab how the lyrics are more like short stories than pop songs w/ choruses... not super catchy bc of that but I very much enjoy the mellow energy and think the singing and music flows nicely, feel like listening again would make me like it more? I think this makes for excellent background music but in the sense that I want to listen to this as I am living... like I think it has much more redeeming qualities than the other albums I've thought of as background music (like the others feel like background music bc they aren't interesting enough to be listening music), it feels intentionally curated or sum, like a nice dinner to this sounds so classy chic, and as Kats would say, very much romantic. Also the perfect amount of stimulation for me to do homework while listening. also also, lydllwild is a place a bit north of San Diego and its mayor is a dog (https://www.mayormax.com/index.htm -- I've met him and Miley's met him too!) super awesome place for some hiking and just hanging out, ik this is called Idlewild but the association is there and brings more good energy. 8.5/10
dated imo, can't see myself listening again but not terrible 5/10
Feel like it was a very mid rock album and rock is not my preferred type of music so it was kind of underwhelming 5/10
pretty good 7.5/10
It was fine 5.5/10
Ok I haven’t listened to the entire album but I just finished the Elliott smith album and a song from this was the auto play after and I liked that song a lot so I’m prematurely giving it a review (9/10) before listening to more. ok went back and I think some of it is very overwhelming and too much noise for me but I really like some of it so staying overall positive 8.5/10
I think the music sounded pretty good but it’s not my vibe and just isn’t what I was in the mood to listen to. Don’t think I’d listen to this by choice not bc it’s bad but I’d just rather be listening to something else 7/10
Can’t pinpoint but something ab this was pretty damn annoying to me… 5/10
Was p good, don’t think I’ll revisit much tho 7.5/10
Pretty funky, it’s very difficult for me to stay engaged when there are no words and I don’t think the instrumentals were all that 4/10
Not the type of music I usually listen to and I’m still not crazy ab it but this was pretty decent. 7/10 round down
Was p fun n funky I enjoyed it, don’t know how many of the songs I’ll listen to again 7/10
Shits ass 3/10
Short n sweet, sound is super fun, holds up great for an album so old 9/10
the album started off pretty damn bad like it just was not fun to listen to the high pitch voice like idk why he was trying to be so quirky or whatever. I feel like its just almost fine but there's annoying noises n sounds in there that lowk just piss me off. it definitely gets a bit better later in the album but can't get over the beginning. 5/10 round down
Good energy 8/10
Tbh didn’t feel super strongly about this which is kinda disappointing, I definitely do not appreciate the creative choices being made but doesn’t extemely hit or miss 5/10
Pretty good. I fell asleep the first time I listened so had to re listen. 8/10
Listening on the bus is impossible because I cannot stay awake for more than 2 songs, might impact how I feel ab the album… feel like it’s not bad but don’t know if I’d listen again 5/10
Songs were too long imo and I don’t really like the electronic-y sound or atleast how it sounds in this album. Think it got better towards the end tho. 6/10
trying to catch up on the albums I missed and I just listened to a 70s album that sounded like every other rock album ever and was boring. ik this is like 30+ years later and maybe its time maybe something else but this feels elevated compared to a lot of the other rock albums on this list. there's some monotony but its monotonous good if that makes sense... 8.4/10
Pretentious and unbearable 2/10
Did not enjoy listening to this… feel like the idea and execution were fine, good even but I just didn’t wanna be hearing this, feel like this album is not what I want to hear if I’m listening to music Like 3/10 enjoyment 8/10 quality ig overall 5/10
everything sounded the same to me… fine not bad but unexciting 6/10
This was fine but everything kinda blends together... 6/10
Booooring 4.5/10
such an easy listen, feel like this is my ideal restaurant etc music, love but can't see myself listening to this w/ headphones in just cause... like 10/10 for background but 7/10 listening experience rn.. so 8.5/10
some of the words sounded kinda Indian to me, thought it was pretty good but can't see myself listening again 7/10
I am so happy listening to this !! I'm just hyped to have a country album but also I really like this and think its great and an excellent pick for the list. like this is one of those albums where I listen and I so so get it when people are like oh yeah the modern day trashy pop country is so booty, I mean I don't even think the genres are that comparable at this point, like I enjoy a song about beer/whiskey, mamas, n trucks as much as the next gal, but the lack of beer/whiskey, mamas n trucks is noted and appreciated, anyways 9.5/10
I think this is good music n respect it as an album but didn’t enjoy very much… didn’t dislike it but wouldn’t listen again
Bennie and the Jets has gotta be the most delightful song ever. @kailey watching 27dresses w you and then sobbing will forever be a core memory and this song just lives in my soul. Rest of the album is also very good. Yesterday was just a good day for an Elton John album 8.5/10
“Oh she’s just shouting”-my mom. Like yeah I agree but it sounds good. I liked this for driving, don’t think I’d like it otherwise. Oklahoma is so gorgeous could make anything(most things) sound a little bit good, I think this had a baseline good so was p decent. rating based on how I think I’d feel while not driving. Also, ALL CAUGHT UP!!!
really liked this, I think the first song was the best but the rest of the album was good too 8.5/10
This was a solid album imo. Nothing crazy ab it but it sounded good. Prolly wouldn’t turn it off but also idk if I’d choose to put it on bc I think there’s other albums that appeal to me more 7/10 ca->pa rating #5
It’s a good album… Beatles n this album in particular are obviously very hyped up and for a good reason too but I do think my expectations were higher than my opinion of the album. Overall tho all the songs are good, there’s variety, and it works together well. I don’t think any of the songs in particular sound like something I’d go crazy for but maybe that makes it harder for it to get old/boring… we’ll have to see. Also here comes the sun used to be my alarm sound and I’m a morning person so very warm n fuzzy feelings associated w that. 9/10
2nd album of day 2, this was really great road trip music. I think I’d get bored of it regularly but it was very nice to drive to. Took us from petrified forest national park in Arizona to a bit west of albequrque. capa#12
Hadn’t heard of this but it was SO good!! 9/10
There’s some good qualities here that are completely overpowered by the other moments that are utter rubbish. Can’t stand this 3/10
I started listening to this at 10something because I needed something to keep me awake until midnight because I haven't done my homework. It kept me awake but I ended up on Facebook. who even uses Facebook. the music was p good tho. 8/10
Not bad for on the road. However my mom kept thinking things were wrong w the car bc of the noises in the music.
Ugh this was so long. Any redeeming qualities were unredeemed at like 50 minutes. Also was not matching the Texas vibe. Maybe I should start tomorrrow w some country.
this was fine but not too exciting to me, 6.5/10
Last album of day 1 and first album of day 2. I like a few Beyoncé songs(none of them r on this album) but I feel like she has a very big pop culture presence and ppl are like queen bey can do no wrong and I don’t really get where that comes from. This album was not really my thing, I think my fav parts were the other artists that were featured. I don’t really like the thing she does w her voice that’s not very descriptive but yeah. 5/10 capa#11
Are you kidding me!! This made me grumpy at all the other shitty electronica albums we listen to, this is how it should be done, the sounds are so nice! Capa#9
I think I didn’t like this for the same reason I don’t like Ariana grande’s music. Clearly Mariah Carey has a hell of a voice but I feel like it was just kinda whispy singing that didn’t really project and relied more on her voice than having good music. Sometimes girly pop is just doing too much and I didn’t appreciate her for it. Not terrible but just wasn’t my thing. ca->pa rating#4
Another car listen . This was a bit boring to me, some songs were fine but tbh didn’t fully get the essence bc I was absorbing the Texas.
Felt pretty standard 7/10
Was exactly what I wanted to be hearing yesterday morning 9/10
I was hungry when I listened to this and traffic was bad but it was good. 8/10 capa#10
Maybe it’s cause I’ve not been listening to the recent albums but idk how to differentiate between 4s n 5s and 3s n 4s.. anyways 6.5/10
I like this, nothing crazy not sure if I’d listen all the time but was good the first time around 7.5/10
I think this was fine. Didn’t really pay much attention to this playing but in a good way 7/10 capa#8
Yeah I loved this 9/10
I don’t think my mom liked this bc she asked to listen to the news like 1 song after the Radiohead album ended, I didn’t like the screamy song at all. Most of this was fine tho, some songs I’d give like a 7.5 or 8/10. Overall I think the flaming lips were pretty adventurous w the sounds they tried and not all of them sounded amazing and the ones that sounded good weren’t great. Overall mid ca->pa rating #3
As a celebrity I really just cannot stand Justin Timberlake… the whole Janet Jackson thing, that song from the trolls movie, his face, etc… I haven’t listened to a bunch of his music and like I feel like this album isn’t that good. Seems like he’s got a lot of ideas and the execution is not very admirable. Think my hate of jt might be influencing my rating, 3.5/10 side note, that one movie w him and mila kunis is pretty good but that’s despite his presence not bc of it 🤷♀️
Thought a few of the songs were really good but some were just too chill for me and others I just didn’t like… as an album overall 7/10
I did not enjoy listening to this. it wasn't bad but like I felt the same ab this as silence. like I can brush my teeth and put my hair up and walk down the stairs and make a cream cheese and bread sandwich(pathetic breakfast but tbh it tastes not so bad and food is food) in silence and it'd be fine but instead I listened to this album while doing all that and its was fine. didn't add anything to my life, and ig not adding anything kind of a negative bc I could listen to something else that would be making my mundane morning taste more enjoyable. I guess 5/10
Feels kind of like sum you’d hear in a movie or tv show in a battle of bands sort thing, nothing bad but also not what I’d chose to listen to 6.5/10
super fun I like this, feels a bit old/dated tho and I don’t love the variety of old it feels but overall good 7.5/10
I appreciate that there’s prolly a ton of thought etc but rap is very hit or miss for me and this was def a miss.. and it was an hour so didn’t enjoy much 4/10
I listened to this on the bus so I was very eepy. I liked a few of the songs more than others, which is normal for most albums ig, so nothing special but overall fine, 6.5/10
Hot ass. Maybe this is cheating but I skipped half the songs like halfway through.my mom asked for the news again. Ca->pa rating #7
Pretty solid, I was highkey grinding my philosophy essay when I was listening to this and I put this at way higher volume than I usually listen to music and it did a good job of tuning out everything else. Feel like it was the perfect type/amount of noise. I’d prolly not enjoy it when listening regularly, who knew that metal would be good homework music for me. Homework music: 10/10, usual listening opinion: like a 6.5/10
Feel like it says good things ab an album if it’s long ish and I enjoy the whole thing, pretty solid 8/10
I really liked this, I feel like the whole thing was good, bordering on a 5 but I don't see myself being like obsessed w/ this or any song in particular, I just feel like every song was an enjoyable listen so overall very good as an album, 8/10
I reckon a whole lotta buggers think this album’s rubbish but I say that’s poppycock!! This was so intriguing I was engaged the whole time. Would not listen again but the experience was magical. I was lowk in an altered state of mind when listening tho. The English accent is the only reason this album worked, it’s very stupid tho. Cheerio bruvs! 12/10
Love this, kind of.. its very good but a bit too repetitive for me, overall enjoyed 7/10
Was the first album of the day. I am road tripping to Pittsburgh w my mommy(I drove all 9 hours) so I didn’t get to write an immediate review because #bothhandsonthewheel but I liked this. Have had Romeo and Juliet on repeat since it was in the music league and none of the songs on this album were that good but I still thought the album overall is good. For all the albums I listened to today, I think being on the road made them better bc any gaps in interesting music I just paid attention to the scenery instead. Ca->pa review #1
I get what u guys r saying ab the good album streak! I liked this, just an easy good listen 8/10
This was pretty long and I have a short attention span so the fact that I wasn't bored I think is a very good sign. I love love love the fact that I liked the second half of the album better bc I feel like that rarely happens, I dont really see myself going back any of the songs a ton but overall p good; 8/10
felt very standard for an album on this list, was pretty good but not super duper exciting or anything. 7.5/10
I think this is the first album we’ve gotten that I’ve listened to in it’s entirety before having it as the album for the day.. I like some of the songs a lot, the most r just fine, based on the songs I like more and ig just in agreement of spot on this list 9/10
I liked the first song best I think but all of em were pretty good, overall very solid imo 8.5/10
Oh baby. The hour and five minutes during which I listened to this album were very memorable. My mom decided to drive so I was back seat enjoying the ride listening to this then my phone died and then I was like ok if I’m gonna sit up front to charge I’ll just drive then jethro tull cooked a bit too hard bc I was cruising at a hundo and then I saw a cop slowed down but not enough and got pulled over for speeding and my license expired so I just have a printed piece of paper for the extension and also since the car is a brand new used car they hadn’t mailed all the paperwork yet so didn’t have registration for the officer🤪. I ugly cried to the officer and we had to call my dad for proof of purchase and he is furious w me and Darlington car is in jeopardy and now for the rest of my life I have to drive like an ancient old lady with a massive fucking barbed stick up her ass so I don’t go broke from paying my insurance and everyone will hate me for driving so pathetical and lawful. #makingcruisecontrolmybitch Anways ab the album I actually really liked it and it’s so snazzy and quirky 9/10
feel like its hard not to compare this to Fleetwood Mac's other stuff (mostly rumours ig), its def good but not as compelling as the stuff ik better imo. Also I listened to this very early on the morning in the bus so not sure how much I was processing so I dont think my review has the best perspective, 7.5/10
I listened to this on the plane from Pittsburgh to home. I downloaded the album and forgot to rate it after my flight. I’m clearing out my downloads rn so that’s why i remembered to rate it. my specific thoughts but the overall vibe was meh. I don’t feel like listening to it again to give a more accurate rating and I think that says enough to rate it
Same deal as Tim Buckley. This was fine, very jazzy but the instrumentals r wearing on me.
imo this is just good music, I think its great to listen to, not sure if its what I would listen to in my day to day but its just done well I think, 9/10
I feel similarly ab bjork and Joni Mitchell I think. Like I want to get it but I don’t. Ik I gave the Joni Mitchell album a 5 but actually I don’t listen to any of her music and it just makes me think. This album isn’t all bad but it’s just wierd and just the things going on aren’t for me. Idk what gaze/ears bjork is appealing to but it’s not mine. 4.5/10
Feel like this was trying very hard to be quirky, wasn’t terrible but it just felt a bit off, 6/10
The album cover guy looks like the actor who plays Neville longbottom… anyways this guy knows how to make music, I don’t think this album is my fav thing ever and I don’t know that I’d relisten to a ton of this but I think it’s done well and sounds good, solid 8/10
not the genre I was in the mood for n there wasn’t anything super exciting ab it 6/10
So mid 6/10
I liked this, obviously fast car is very good but the rest is also very solid imo!! 8/10
This was fine nothing too exciting 6.5/10
lol 4/10
sooo booring this was extremely mid, not bad but im unexcited unintirgued. album cover is so cunty n the album itself just does not do it justice 6/10
This was a bit noisy for me. I don’t know what constitutes good noisy music but I don’t think this was it. It wasn’t painful to listen to but wasn’t my thing. 5/10
this is the type of music I need to listen to when I study... bc if its anything else I can't focus on my work. for studying to 8/10, would I listen to this otherwise, absolutely not but sticking w/ 8/10
I think I liked it more as I listened longer, except for the outro was boring and too long. Pretty solid 7.5/10
Felt pretty indifferent towards this 6/10
I can't think of a situation in which I would enjoy listening to this, it doesn't sound bad but is just dull and doesn't really appeal to me. 5/10
Springsteen is iconic n this album is good, the last song was a bit long n dramatic 8/10
I listened to this in the shower and lowk I didn’t hate it bc I think metal works really well for me as white noise. Even so I think this is p solid as far as metal goes. 7/10
Think this I liked this less than I should have bc I was incredibly hangry while this was playing. The sound of the music was good, sound of my stomach growling-not so good. Enjoyed it like a 6/10
Another album I listened to on the plane. I was glad I listened to this on the plane bc I was to tired to switch to other music bc this was very mid imo 4.5/10
feel like evaluating this as artwork, its really good, not what id usually listen to tho 8/10
A bit loud but not bad 6/10
Dolly Partons got some music I like a lot so I thought I was gonna love this but I didn't 🤷♀️, still good just not super amazing 7/10
Wasn’t in the mood for this. Too noisy 4/10
I dont get it. Makes a lot of sense that it’s by a French dude. It sounds cool I guess, think I’d really like this as the soundtrack for a movie. 7/10
I love Adele and I think this album is really good. I do think I’d heard all the songs I liked… not saying her best stuff is the well known stuff but the stuff that’s not known was not really my thing. Overall some very good songs and also some mid ones. 8/10 bc I love Adele
Did NOT enjoy the moss garden and neukoln bullshit, other than that pretty good. For some reason Bowies stuff isn’t super exciting to me but it’s still good. 7/10
listened to this while cooking and was v good, has a nice sound to it. 8/10
Felt p indifferent to this, 6/10
Was very good! Just not the type of music I usually listen to 8/10
I’ve been meaning to listen to Janelle Monaes music. Saw her on a Instagram reel ab good met gala looks n feel like ik of her more from her acting but im glad i listened to this. The album was a bit long but i feel like it did a good job of having a cohesive variety in its sound and it sounded good. 8/10
Something about this makes it not speak to me. It’s very boring, maybe something ab the lack of excitingness of the instrumentals but also there’s not much going on w her voice, like it’s simple but it’s not good enough to be simple. But also I am disgustingly congested and my hearing is shot so maybe I’m missing something. There was that one song with noises I really just didn’t like. On a more positive note I’m back home and very excited to rate things at a reasonable hour of the night! 4.5/10
Maybe I would feel better ab this if it wasn’t a live album. I think live albums have a time n place and this list is not the place bc usually I only listen to/appreciate live versions if I already love & am familiar w the song. 6/10
I really did not like Thriller! Probably because I am such an MJ fan and you can’t be using a good name for bad music. The rest of the album wasn’t really great either. However being on the road drowned out some of the noise so I don’t think It was quite as bad as it should have been , 5/10 ca->pa rating #6
When Lucas sent the thing in the slack I was not sure if this was gonna be one of those things where u have to have refined taste to hate it, clearly not! This is hot ass! Total rubbish. Had to roll up the windows in the car at intersections while this was playing bc having someone I know(or don’t know for that matter) pulling up next to me and hearing this coming from my vehicle is my personal hell. The ego on this guy, my goodness. Anyone who doesn’t have a problem w his music should take a look at the public image and Controversies section of his Wikipedia. apparently he’s a loud n proud republican & gun nut. Public display of the confederate flag?! Are you kidding me. Racist, misogynist, homophobe, transphobe AND makes bad music, this guy is not my cup of tea nor should he be anyone else’s.
I’m disappointed. IMO head over heels is byfar the best song on this album, everybody wants to rule the world is fine, and the rest are all forgettable and not really that fun to listen to. The first two songs are wayy too damn long and so is the last song. 6.5/10 (the math in my head: 4/10 + .75 everybody wants to rule the world + 1.75 head over heels)
“Can you turn that stupid music off”-my brother. Usually he’s way out of line but today I think I agree w him. Not really into the electronic techno thing they’ve got going on. Not offensive but most definitely not exciting. I think my reviews have been unduly critical lately and I blame that on my mother so apologies to everyone on her behalf. 4/10
Thought this was p good for how old it is. the voices are a bit annoying kind of and some of the songs kinda just remind me of interacting w/ a girl who is super whiny and thinks everyone else is the problem not her. But overall enjoyed the energy I think 7/10
Too long. Not on Spotify which is kind of inconvenient. Saw some reviews ab this feeling bjork-y. I agree I guess. Like they don’t sound the exact same obviously but if we are drawing parallels that’s a good parallel to draw. Anyhoo i don’t enjoy bjork and didn’t enjoy this. 4.5/10
This was aight. Lyrics r usually a nice touch and this wasn’t super lyric heavy. Don’t know that words would change my rating tho. 6/10
To contextualize my pessimism: i am writing this rn and it is 10:54(past my bedtime) and I am sat on the floor of my garage next to my dog waiting for the family friends we had over for dinner to leave. No hate to them but I’m tired and wanna sleep. This album did nothing to help my mood. So mid. It’s been too long since I’ve given an album a 5. I want to be fired up and excited and got going. This didn’t do anything for me and I hope the next albums are better. Again there was nothing wrong w it but it was just fine 5/10
I think rn it would take a groundbreaking and revolutionary instrumental-esque album for me to rate it higher than a 3. This was fine. I fw it but like it didn’t get me excited. Ik there were some lyrics but not enough.
I don’t get it. Why would u make an album so long. Disc 2 is an easy 5, disc 1 felt like so long ago I don’t even know, maybe like a 3. It’s hard to pay attention to what I like when there’s so much it kinda blends together. But like some of this was really good. 1979, SO GOOD. I liked a lot of the stuff that wasn’t super noise heavy. I really wish there was just an album that had the good songs from this. I guess that’s what playlists are for. makes me appreciate mixtapes. Would prolly melt if someone ever made me a mixtape. I’m ab to sleep so the last song being all good night is super cute. 8.5/10
are you kidding me. milk and cereal was ASS. for starters im not strongly oppionated ab this but I feel like cereal and milk is the more generally accepted order, but like are you kidding me I could not take this seriously after that song. I listened to half of this then a John Denver album and the second half of this which was really not exciting to me.
I think this could be good for passive listening as background music. Unfortunately I don’t have much going on in my life rn so it’s hard to have something be the background when there’s no foreground. I think the album overall has a nice sound and good vibes, but wasn’t extremely compelling to me. Its hard for me to evaluate how I’d feel ab something as passive music bc imo “good” background music is something that you can listen to while doing something else but like I’m constantly thinking wow that’s song is so good. I felt that way ab the Getz/gilberto album. I don’t know that it’s what I would just have playing when I’m on a walk/drive but any activity of substance and that is just the most gorgeous noise to live life to. Also imo very few songs have any business being longer than 5 minutes and the Medusa song def was longer than i wanted it to be. Basically i like the energy but idk how to rate this. 6/10
I enjoyed this more than some of the other Bowie albums I think. I’m still not a huge fan of his music, appreciate it but not totally my thing and I don’t know why. 7/10
The angst in this felt a bit manufactured but good nevertheless. 7/10
A very standard good
🤢 🤮
Listened 2 days ago but forgot to rate, I think I liked it, was great on the road
Didn’t like this :/
Hear this and then see the Wikipedia being like thus was notable in the clubbing scene and then I get why ppl who fuck it up in the club also fuck up acid bc I’d have to be tripping too to enjoy this. 3/10
enjoyed this! it was quite a fun listen, feel like I was engaged and didn't wanna skip anything which is more than I can say for most albums. I dont know that id listen to any of these songs often but as an overall album pretty damn good. 8/10
I prolly listened to this like 4 times through but was still moving out of Darlington so I was only half inside so the 4th listen was the only one that counted. Obviously was good. Yellow submarine is nostalgic, a bunch of the other songs r just good. The ones w Indian influence kinda threw me off. Idk if I like the sitar(or whatever instrument that is) and idk how I feel ab how that mixed w the music. 8/10? 8.5/10… idk
I usually like this kind of music but it was a bit too boring for me. Wouldn't mind this in the background I dont think, but like I think she could be doing just a bit more and id enjoy it. 6.5/10
I listened to the start of this album like 4 times before I finally listened to the whole thing. It wasn't bad, just a bit too experimental and noisy for me. I dont like listening to staticy things. not offensive but my boat was not floated
I cheated w this album. I listened to Kim(like 2 minutes of it) first because everyone wrote about it in ur guys' reviews. after that I kinda just skipped through each of the songs to vibe em out and I dont want to listen to the rest so rating based on what I did listen to. I feel like maybe that's not the point of this but also Im getting a little bit behind and I just dont feel like listening to this and I dont know that I will ever be in the mood to.
This was fine. Low 4. I think that it didn’t do anything crazy but all of it sounded good. 6.5/10 maybe.
I think I would like this playing in my house, but like it wasn’t doing that much. Prolly would only listen to it passively. Like a 7.5/10 but a 3
Overall dissapointed. I like every breath you take a lot, there’s a few other good songs but like as a whole not a fan. Prolly like as an album a 2 but every breath you take is a high 4 and then there were a few songs that were solid.
Didn’t like the first few songs, it got better tho. 7/10
I have the same reaction every time we get something like this and I just think that it's fine but im not that into it even tho clearly he's really talented
love this. also im always confusing Paul Simon w/ Peter Gabriel I dont really know why.
Very good! Long ish and not my usual genre but I enjoyed the whole thing. One of the better live albums we’ve gotten, also recently i have heard/seen more Kurt Cobain references than usual which is a funny coincidence 9/10
how do these guys have less than 37K monthly listeners on Spotify bc they are kindve really good.
super fun 80s album, I liked it a lot 8/10
Very good. Like a high 4 low 5 9/10
I listened to this a while ago in the car but forgot to rate, it was good but the ppl I was driving started inquiring about what my Spotify wrapped was last year and I was like uhh why the interrogation ahhhh. I listened to Lady Soul and this immediately after. But I listened to lady soul while walking so I think I internalized it more but I think it's better regardless. like a super high 3.
wasn't paying a ton of attention to this
I confused parliament and pavement and I was a bit confused when I started listening. I think I am just a complete idiot. album was fun, dont think ill revisit tho
really good. I was doing work when listening to this and nothing made me like perk up yk but the whole thing was enjoyable. 9/10 but like idk if I should give a 4 or 5.
Love! It’s pretty old so I feel like the fact that I like it and it’s old makes me like it more.
Super duper good. I feel like I say I'm not a huge hiphop/rap girly but re-evaluating and I think that's false n based on what I usually hear out and about, which is what my brother listens to or stuff on the radio that's not really up my alley.
kinda whack how we r getting two Aretha Franklin albums so close together. I haven't listened to the other one yet tho. good but not something I see myself listening to all the time.
im lowk going insane rn adn I think this is helping in the background. I like the woman's voice better.
Rebels without a pause irritated me specifically the noises in the background. Album was fine just not my thing. Think I felt similarly ab fear of a black planet.
hello what this is so fun. I think like a 8/10. was just a super enjoyable listen. idk how much id listen every day but I think as an album this is super duper great.
I think they are annunciatinf a bit too much and it’s throwing me off. Songs r long. Idk why I must listen to this before I die. Mid 5/10
I have one song(Heart is a Drum) by beck in my liked songs which is more of a connection than what I usually have to these albums. That song is a different vibe from this album tho. Also since looking at the albums that have been taken out of the book I’m very judgmental of any post 2000 album. I don’t like the lo fi rap thing he’s got going on but everything other than that I enjoyed. Rating based on what’s good rather than what’s not like a 7/10
By the end I was just like please god make it stop. This is the only music I’ve listened to all day. They r good at metal and the live album does them really well but like two hours of this was wayyyy too much and I just did not enjoy it.
I was hosting office hours while listening to this and no kids showed up. It was fine. Really liked the instrumental stuff at the beginning of the first song but subsequently tuned this out kinda.
I liked this, very 60s. I did enjoy the first half more but idk if thats bc it was better of if I just got bored.
Kindve ate. Never gonna listen again, probably. I had to switch off of this because it was overwhelming to listen to all at once. Interesting blurb on Spotify. "We are fascists as much as Hitler was a painter." collective not individuals. ok then! Glad this was on the list
Im p sure I listened to this the day it was generated but I forgot to rate it so here after listening round 2. I like this album. also has me relistseneing to mr Tamborine man bc they also ate w/ that. 8.5/10
I was listening to this just like out loud on my phone speaker making breakfast and the album was fine but I put my headphones in to walk to work and then it sounded really good. Idk if the songs at the end were better or if I just needed to not be hearing ambient noise. I really like End of the Night. Overall p good. 8/10 + .5 for end of the night so 8.5/10
Pretty good nothing crazy
I don’t know why on earth I gave Blue a 5. I want to love Joni Mitchell but I just don’t. This album was good enough and I enjoy the energy but I think it’s much better as an album than as individual songs. As in I’d prolly skip most of the songs if they popped up on a playlist. Something ab the way her songs flow just don’t do it for me. 7/10
I’ve been off the album train for the past week ish and this got me back on. A few songs from this album have been in my recent rotation so I was excited to listen to the album in its entirety and it did not disappoint. Was really great to sit outside and work to.
if all the songs were just like the first minute or two of the songs I'd prolly rate this like a 4 or 5 but by the time it got to the halfway point I was bored of listening to the same drum instrumental thing for two more minutes straight.
Pookie is looking pure fire
This was good. Shocker 😱😱😱😱. Also dojo is severely messing up my sleep schedule the fact that I am awake at 2:50 in the am is PREPOSTEROUS
feel like the last few songs were not super exciting to me but overall I liked it.
Pink Floyd is one of those bands/artists that makes me Super happy I'm doing this 1001 thing. Obviously I know who Pink Floyd are but I never really listened to them before. I wanted to give this a 5 but the long instrumentals were a bit much for me -- they sounded amazing but I think some of their more songy songs are more up my alley. Still really great 8/10
Ok immediate thoughts: that first song is stupid it sounds like a middle schooler went crazy on garage band but throw money at em. Also I mostly know ice t from the few episodes of law n order svu that I’ve seen. Overall album was not bad but don’t see myself revisiting any of the songs. 5/10
this just reminds me of moth at IM soccer. I fw it tho. Well most of it, a few songs r the same vibe as the other German YouTube albums w/ the lady shrieking kind of. Overall I enjoyed.
I’m really confusing myself because I highkey really liked this? Except for Leb wohl. Like im just very much enjoying music lately but idk why im rating things so high.
Another pretty good Bowie album that’s not like crazy or anything. I do think I liked this one better than his orher albums we got. Are we finally done with the Bowie albums? I think we should start betting on random albums and like someone owes/gets money if a certain album shows up before/after a different one. The songs were a bit long but the album is shortish so like ig that evened out.8/10
Super Y2K… which I love but at the same time I don’t love that much at all. Album cover is so good tho Christina ate I wish I could rock those jeans like that.
Really good. I get the Elvis hype, makes me wanna get married in Vegas w an Elvis impersonator officiating
I liked this. I hadn’t heard of depeche mode but I guess they r pretty popular. Seems pretty standard as far as English rock esque bands on this list go. I feel like w/ the arcade fire/new order/joy division/jefferson airplane albums I liked them fine on the first listen but I've grown to like them significantly more bc individual songs just pop up on my playlists n they just are good... I can see this being similar to that I think?
Another pretty good Bowie album. Nothing crazy ab it but ig he’s got consistency going for him.
A little context to my state of listening —!Lowk didn’t sleep well last night bc I was so stressed I thought I was gonna shit myself and I listened to this in the morning and was still eepy and I didn’t wanna go to work bc my coworker drives me absolutely off the walls bonkers mad not happy so I wasn’t fully engaged w/ the album and it also was not the vibe I needed. Not terrible but don’t see myself putting this on.
either I dont like this or im the wrong mood
Cute fun and I like it but doesn’t do anything crazy for me. 7/10
Was listening to this in the car and got through the first three songs and then into the mystic just played 12 times I have no clue what I did and why that happened but I didn’t realize til Kailey pointed it out LOL. Anyways I love Van Morrison and this album is great
🤷♀️
Really enjoyed some of the songs, 8/10
I had one song from this album liked before listening to this. I think I like the smashing pumpkins. It's always fun to get albums I think I'll enjoy but haven't listened to yet. I didn't listen to the deluxe version thats like 3 hours but maybe I should at some point. I kinda love the balance they strike between a few chill/mellow moments and mostly upbeat vibe because I think I enjoy depressing music a lot but then ill be a week into my sufjan/elliot/adrienne eras and just a bit more weepy than id like to be so like I need to incorporate more of this energy into my life bc I really liked this. TLDR; fire.
lowk cunty. I like these guys(I will never listen to this again) 9/10 -- metal goes unreasonably hard when I need to be productive, do need to cleanse my ears afterwards tho
I was so unbelievably eepy listening to this and i think I I liked it better bc of that. Overall good
listened to this bc im studying and its not as metally as I wanted it to be and also im so fkn grumpy because I forgot to turn in a homework that I know I did good on because I literally sat in OH doing it and double checked my answers. thats besides the point but I wasn't in the mood to enjoy this. the hold school has on me is so stupid and dumb and whoever said no late homework is a poopy head. grrrrr
Back to rating things west coast time rahhh. Didnt' realize til now that Solange is Beyonce's sister. This album was fine but I don't really like any of the songs enough to listen to them again. Maybe I'm the problem. Also after knowing how picky they r w/ newer albums ive been a bit more scrutinous(Idek if thats a word) when we get a post 2000 album. Like ur telling me I need to hear this more than arcade fire, kendrick, Adele, mgmt, MIA... I guess they r different genres but still. Side note, I listened to one song off arular bc it's mentioned in the top of the expunged thingy and im so hyped for that album! anyways... mid 6/10
Good enough. Can’t see myself listening again
I’m on a train and some of the sounds in the album confused me bc I couldn’t tell if it was the song or the train. I think the combo of the instrumental and the voice is interesting and I like it.
Not bad. Low 4
Not a promising start but it got better. Like a lot better. 8/10 maybe even
You cause as much sorrow kind of has cranberries energy. I didn’t know that the cranberries r Irish. Anyways this album is great
Air just gets it. The voice was kinda weird but I fw it still.
so good
I forgot this existed for like a day there. Sidenote I stopped adding to my 1001 playlist in April so playing catch up rn, I hate how I don't process songs individually when I listen to albums bc they kind of mush together and then I dont realize how much I like them and I dont add them to my liked songs. ab this album-- I like it. Not that any of this is super loud wild crazy but I really enjoy the more mellow songs. 7.5/10
Alot of the songs r a bit repetitive for me but some of these slap. 8/10
91 and still touring is actually crazy. What a guy. High 4
I think I need therapy 10/10
I like just like honey and I had slightly different expectations for the album but like I dont even know why because it totally made sense and fit together. pretty good
This was a lovely start to my day. Woke up put this on made myself coffee sat on our lawn swing drank said coffee went to Costco returned our shit ass pans went to home goods got a good ass pan and then the album ended. Long but not only did I not get bored I enjoyed the whole thing. I feel like what I do during albums impacts my opinion a lot. 8.75/10
Not a huge r&b fan so didn’t love this but think it’s good
I didn't really have expectations but this exceeded them.
fire.
This was good enough I guess, but I wasn't really feeling it. I don't see myself listening to any of these songs again. high 3.
hoochie coochie man made a mid ass album
Quite dull
v good. its the type of upbeat that makes the whole album kinda blur together in my brain so I couldn't really pick out songs I like more
Kind of underwhelming
nice and short. I wasn't really in the mood for this but still good.
Really fucking good
Lowk fell asleep listening to this
Idk if this is an evolution of me or like a de-evolution of Björk and this album is just less quirky than her later ones but I really like this
Eh
Pretty good but didn’t really stand out to me if that makes sense. 7/10
I don't know if I was supposed to like this or not but I do. I really like the cadence of the music n the tune n the instruments.
Like this a lot! Most of the Fiona Apple songs I listen to r from her 1999 album n I think I like those a bit better but she’s so good
Not a fan. I was like oh this got better and actually it was just the album ended and Spotify was on autoplay. Not offensively bad just not very great either
im just a girl 👯♀️
Prolly cause I’ve heard it the most but take it easy is def the song that I paid most attention to, nice listen overall tho
Had its good moments but otherwise some of the sounds were not really speaking to me as in I just was like eh not for me. As in ok cool instrumentaly sounds and singing I guess, but I just was wanting something different and that’s okay. High 3/low4
Love the sound but think I would enjoy it more if it was a bit more vocals forward.
Didn’t really enjoy the live recording for this. Not really my thinf
booooooring
This has some of my fav pixies songs. Good album
Elton John is always fun but I think goodbye yellow brick road is def better than this. Low 4
I did not really like this that much, very repetitive and not in a way I liked. they have nice voices and it wasn't offensive or anything but just didn't enjoy it. I think I dont really appreciate y2k stuff
idk this wasn't doing it for me, like I kinda tuned it out but not bc it was bad just bc it wasn't interesting.
mr brightside n somebody told me r def the best songs on here imo, I think id be really into this some years ago when this genre was my shit. some bangers and the rest wasn't bad. also guess this is one of the expunged albums, I would think thats because theres only a few songs that you NEED to hear(imo) and you've prolly heard those without this book so I guess that makes sense. Also the killers have a song with weyes blood that I like.
why was this lowk fire. maybe im just in a good mood
liked this a lot, glad it didn't all sound like the same song. it was kind've long for me today tho. 8.5/10
Really likes this. So fun
I think this is a lot better than the other Adele album we got and I really like it and she’s got a gorgeous voice but I don’t think it’s a 5
I totally didn't realize its tricky is a real song, it's kinda fun, thought a few of the songs were fine but not a huge fan of the album as a listening experience tho. the beatboxing was not enjoyable.
im so hyped for PJ Harveys other album bc the songs I know on there are actually so fkn good. this was also good tho.
Oh yes.
My carpool used to have this album cd and we’d listen to it on the way to kindergarten. And first and second and third grade. Just a damn good album
No ty
Eh. I feel like if this was nostalgic for me I’d like it but it’s not nostalgic so it was just fine
18 minutes for a song is always too much but If ur gonna make a long song atleast make it very good. This wasn’t that.
Fun!
Easiest 5 of my life. Every single one of these songs is a banger. I cannot believe I didn’t give the other talking heads albums 5s
Super fun listen
🔥🔥🔥
fine but I feel like im never in the mood to hear this. kinda just tune out while I work music
I feel like I objectively didn’t love it but subjectively I like it does that make sense
Listened to this album twice in the time it took me to fold my clothes..i think i need to do laundry more frequently. Was better the 2nd time around. Was good but nothing crazy. Can see a world where i listen to this more and enjoy it but for rn just good. 7/10
The long song was kinda boring. Alright but nothing crazy imo
There’s a song by hole that I’ve been listening to a lot recently so kinda fun that we get this album now I guess. Enjoyed it
I listened a few days ago I think I liked it I really like the album cover so 5
Lucas u might be onto something these guys r kinda good
