69 Love Songs

The Magnetic Fields

2/5

Best believe I did NOT listen to all 69 songs. Rather full of itself, I'd say.

Classic although slightly generic. Overall not bad music, but nothing really stands out. Notable songs: Sunshine of my Love

Hounds Of Love

Kate Bush

Some shit songs and some great. Running Up That Hill is very overrated. Points for being unique though.

The Dark Side Of The Moon

Pink Floyd

2/5

Seeing all the hype for this album made me have quite high expectations for it. However, what is was was really nothing. Sweet, sweet nothings. I have never seen such love for such bland, bodyless music.

Imagine

John Lennon

3/5

Born In The U.S.A.

Bruce Springsteen

4/5

I could listen to Springsteen sing all day. However, the songs are somewhat boring.

The Atomic Mr Basie

Count Basie & His Orchestra

2/5

Only real comment I have about this is why the fixation on the atomic bomb. Like, if you're really going to name your band after and use a photo of an atomic bomb as album cover, your music really has to be da bomb, you know? And this really isn't...

In A Silent Way

Miles Davis

2/5

I don't know

Pretzel Logic

Steely Dan

3/5

Not bad

Casanova

The Divine Comedy

My Aim Is True

Elvis Costello

2/5

So bland that I almost couldn't finish the album.

Da Capo

Love

2/5

I can't even remember this and I listened to the whole album yesterday. Verdict: it really can't be that special.

It's a mess.

God did not give me the tools to put up with this

Arrival

ABBA

Karaoke night

The Infotainment Scan

The Fall

1/5

Suicide

1/5

There's a fine line between music and sound. Not sure which side this album is on...

The Black Saint And The Sinner Lady

Charles Mingus

2/5

Sounds exactly like the music you'd expect from someone named Mingus. Make of that what you want.

Faith

George Michael

4/5

I Want Your Sex being 9 minutes long is a goddamn crime. Otherwise this album is peak 80s. Honorable mention of Father Figure - best song in this album.

The Only Ones

4/5

Soundtrack of a slightly edgy teen movie. Honestly not too bad.

Freak Out!

The Mothers Of Invention

3/5

Good trip bad trip

Beggars Banquet

2/5

I'm 14 and this is deep. Please look at me, i'm so edgyyy...

Urban Hymns

The Verve

1/5

Listening to this album really feels like getting lost in the music - but not in a good way.

Untitled (Black Is)

SAULT

1/5

If it weren't for the godawful speaking in certain songs, this album would be great. Unfortunately though, the speaking voice smothers any chance this album had of being remotely good...

Armed Forces

Elvis Costello & The Attractions

2/5

Smash

The Offspring

3/5

This album is far heavier than much of The Offspring's other music. Somewhere in between punk and pop-punk or pop-rock, it is a stando-ut in a genre dominated by songs that in general are much more pop than rock or punk.

1984

Van Halen

4/5

Van Halen: known for epic guitar solos and songs that don't suck. On those premises, this album delivers. Hot For Teacher has a magic intro, otherwise few songs are above the expectation.

Swordfishtrombones

Tom Waits

2/5

Going in to this album I had no idea what to expect from the name "Swordfishtrombones". However, somehow, it sounds exactly like what one would expect from an album with that name.

Otis Blue/Otis Redding Sings Soul

Otis Redding

3/5

Even though this album is only 30 minutes long, making it all the way through it seemed hard. It gave the feeling of being one 30 minute long song... Then about halfway through, it became significantly better. Plus, I can't complain about Redding's singing.

Led Zeppelin IV

Led Zeppelin

5/5

In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida

Iron Butterfly

This is what I imagine punk is like.

Like Water For Chocolate

Common

2/5

Eagles

4/5

Odelay

Beck

2/5

Aside from the fact that it's a goddamn crime that this album is nearly an hour, this music still isn't good.

In Our Heads

Hot Chip

3/5

Nostalgia

Bayou Country

Creedence Clearwater Revival

2/5

I absolutely detest CCR, although that honestly isn't for any particular reason other than the fact that I simply don't like their music. I love a lot of similar bands, but they never really do it for me, not with this album either...

69 Love Songs

The Magnetic Fields

2/5

Best believe I did NOT listen to all 69 songs. Rather full of itself, I'd say.

Graceland

Paul Simon

3/5

It's certainly music

Blood On The Tracks

Bob Dylan

3/5

Blood on the tracks is from me. I was hit by the train that is this album. Just jokes, or maybe not?
