The Low End Theory by A Tribe Called Quest
Feb 21 2024

Really groovy and chill vibes. Not a huge fan of hip hop so, this got old after 4 minutes.

2112 by Rush
Feb 22 2024

you need to have severe brain fungus tot think, that writing an 20 minute song about any rend is a good idea in any way shape or form. and the rest of the album is kind of meh and forgettable.

Paranoid by Black Sabbath
Feb 24 2024

Some of These Songs really slap while others are kind of meh. Espacially Planet Caravan was not the vibe.

Led Zeppelin by Led Zeppelin
Feb 25 2024

Bangers with a few lenghts in between

Blackstar by David Bowie
Feb 26 2024

This album feels like watching paint dry, because nothing happens. If you listen to the first 10 seconds of one song you basically listened to the whole song, because there is barely any sonic variations in the songs. This album drags itself through your ears for 45 minutes with the best moment being the end.

Sticky Fingers by The Rolling Stones
Feb 27 2024

does anybody really think that this album is even remotely listenable? there is literally nothing redeeming about this snooze fest. bored me to death.

No Other by Gene Clark
Feb 28 2024

boring. yawning. but at least the album cover is pretty.

Tom Tom Club by Tom Tom Club
Feb 29 2024

If you don't like this album I doubt your ability to feel joy.

Funeral by Arcade Fire
Mar 02 2024
OK by Talvin Singh
Mar 03 2024

"The artist manages effortlessly to blend classical Indian music and electronic synth melodies together" said nobody ever after listening to this album. it sounds like some sixteen year old made a mash up by just layering songs on top of each other. Unsurprisingly that sounds ass. Shoutout to the title track thou that one was listenable.

The Wildest! by Louis Prima
Mar 05 2024

seems like he's having fun. really fun at times but after 15 minutes I was pretty bored.

Triangle by The Beau Brummels
Mar 06 2024

wanna hit myself with the nine pound hammer after listening to this.

Devotional Songs by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan
Mar 08 2024

usually diversity is a good thing, but this really ..... is something special.

Five Leaves Left by Nick Drake
Mar 09 2024

honestly kind of boring, but he's hot so 3/5.

Moondance by Van Morrison
Mar 10 2024

this is like the fifth mediocre snooze fest in a row. like its not bad but its not good either. can this generator give me something that fucks.

...And Justice For All by Metallica
Mar 11 2024

if black parade had a mediocre vocalist and mediocre production and instrumentals.

Chirping Crickets by Buddy Holly & The Crickets
Mar 12 2024

idk man. they seem so happy, but its boring after the 5th song dude.

The Yes Album by Yes
Mar 13 2024

has its moment but I still think 8 minute songs are never valid, especially when they have literally no sonic variety.

Manassas by Stephen Stills
Mar 14 2024

Boring with a capital B. also 1 hour and 12 minutes? be so fr

Fleet Foxes by Fleet Foxes
Mar 15 2024

Sounds like the wicker man soundtrack if the wicker man was filmed in the 2000s.

Garbage by Garbage
Mar 16 2024

Nice

Tarkus by Emerson, Lake & Palmer
Mar 17 2024

20 fucking minutes??????? why tf do all these bands think that's cool. youre not edgy you suck. just separate the song into 5 songs and repent to Jesus.

Either Or by Elliott Smith
Mar 19 2024

very beautiful voice in a shallow packaging.

The Number Of The Beast by Iron Maiden
Mar 21 2024

could hit harder, like pls fuck my ears up. this album only tickles on his full potential. still good tho.

Mar 24 2024

cleanly produced electro and synth pop nothing groundbreaking, but still nice to listen too

Hejira by Joni Mitchell
Mar 25 2024

its weird mix between pop and folk and for that its fine

Peggy Suicide by Julian Cope
Mar 28 2024

what the fuck am I listening too. this is so messy. also how pretentious do you have to be to satthat you sincerely, at the bottom of your heart like this? like there are a few good songs like "head", but this is so bloated and incoherent.

KIWANUKA by Michael Kiwanuka
Mar 29 2024

overall really good album, with catchy songs, but also some slower cuts. not really fond of the choir/folkal elements tho.

In A Silent Way by Miles Davis
Mar 31 2024

you know the music they play when your on hold? yeah this is it + the occasional trumpet that makes it worse. (also y'all really rated to pimp a butterfly and this the same? what's wrong with you people). Also both songs sound the same except one has a mushy tambourine mixed in and also both songs are twenty minutes. on the verge of giving this one star.

Apr 01 2024

This was nice to listen to, but there isn't a song that really caught my attention to 100% and it also is an album that I will probably never listen again.

Ragged Glory by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Apr 05 2024

him pulling his music from Spotify wasn't a loss and his return unnecessary. also the instrumental has potential, if it would lean into a more raunchy or grungy sound, but like this you have a horrible vocalist and a boring guitar lulling you into sleep.

Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Apr 07 2024

this is the second Neil young and crazy horse album b2b and everything I said about the first one still stays true. still bad vocalist, still boring instrumental, but with the added bonus of the afore mentioned war crime fiddle. after that song I want a requiem for myself

Blur by Blur
Apr 09 2024
Ctrl by SZA
Apr 10 2024

its fine but SOS is so much better than this

Ágætis Byrjun by Sigur Rós
Apr 13 2024

kind of boring at times but still good

Closer by Joy Division
Apr 14 2024

has really interesting ideas that glimmer trough on parts of the album, but is also incredibly wonky, with a mediocre singer and a cluttered instrumental. the first half of the album also seems really repetitive, however the album gets much clearer and more listenable on the second half.

So by Peter Gabriel
Apr 16 2024

"Guarantee you anyone born after 1982 is not putting this in their 1001 albums to listen to list" “It is the 3rd top-rated comment of 'So' on this site. Well, I can guarantee that I was born well after 1982 and I not only put this album on my 1001 albums list but I also give it a 5. The reason is that I appreciate great music. 'So' is one of the best albums of the 1980s for sure - this album is a great example that pop music can be very good if everything is of high quality: songwriting, lyrics, production, guests musicians etc. Even the video for Sledgehammer is iconic, innovative and the best of the decade. Perhaps it helps that I've seen Gabriel live at a concert and when he played these songs from 'So', the quality was the same as on the album. Mindblowing experience. If there is any pop album that deserves to get high rating, it is this album.“ is the now 3rd top rated comment and omg you annoy me. "because you appreciate good music and if any pop album deserves to get a high rating it is this one", like stfu we know you are some 25 year old music snob who "still appreciates the good old classics". Just let people enjoy and hate the music they want and stop putting your own taste on a pedestal. you are not special just because your young and still like older music and it certainly makes you very annoying, when you permanently brag about it. the album itself isn't even bad, but I still despise comments like these, that are so incredibly pretentious and also work against what this generator is trying to do, which is to get people into more music. in the same vain original first comment isn't much better, so fuck both of you.

Nick Of Time by Bonnie Raitt
Apr 17 2024

its really mediocre and boring, but inoffensive

Sound of Silver by LCD Soundsystem
Apr 20 2024

if I become a functional drug addict, this will be my soundtrack.

Ramones by Ramones
Apr 21 2024

kind of repetitive, but still a good time and very short so it doesn't get annoying

Cypress Hill by Cypress Hill
Apr 22 2024

boring but not unlistenable.

Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath
Apr 24 2024

not as good as paronoia imo, but still a decent album.

Destroyer by KISS
Apr 25 2024

feels unfocused and doesn't lean into one thing completely, leaving the album as a mediocre snoozefest that doesn't know if it wants to play it safe or go fully into hard hitting guitars

Electric Ladyland by Jimi Hendrix
Apr 26 2024

I hate the 60s so much, its unreal. everything from that decade has been mediocre at best.

Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness by The Smashing Pumpkins
Apr 27 2024

this is a really mixed bag, where some tracks are really good and others are really bad. also the intro tracks are just piano on a rock/grunge album??? way too long and the vocalist really hates hitting notes.

Rocks by Aerosmith
Apr 28 2024

noisy and cluttered at times, however there some redeeming passages.

Out of Step by Minor Threat
Apr 29 2024

The guitars giving there best

Ten by Pearl Jam
May 06 2024

our lord and saviour steezus christ blessed this album.

Young Americans by David Bowie
May 07 2024

way better than blackstar, an album that was so boring and musically uninspired that I considered giving it one star, but this album is still not really to my liking. don't get the hype and am not looking forward to 6 more albums

Mermaid Avenue by Billy Bragg
May 08 2024

nothing happens so stfu about your house

May 10 2024

has its moments but overall is a little bit too noisy and annoying. Beatles for me are the most overrated band of all time. like their not bad but y'all are glazing them way too much. also the 60s as whole seem like a decade where you had to be there to get it, because psychedelic rock sounds like liquid trash flowing in your ears. I don't get it and that's probably fine, but every time I open my new album and see the release date being in the 60s I have no desire to listen to the album

The Slim Shady LP by Eminem
May 11 2024

everything about Eminem makes me cringe. if your older than 15 and proclaim that Eminem is your favourite musician you should get your ears checked. he talks fast, wow so innovative

The Queen Is Dead by The Smiths
May 14 2024

its fine, nothing special. also fuck Morrissey

1984 by Van Halen
May 15 2024
Infected by The The
May 16 2024

weird, but not exactly bad. kind of cluttered at times

Zombie by Fela Kuti
May 17 2024

its ok

Fishscale by Ghostface Killah
May 19 2024

wu-tang club really isnt my vibe. from liyrics to vocals to production everything is ass. maybe with a different cultural background I would like it more.

Exodus by Bob Marley & The Wailers
May 21 2024

Its ok

Live! by Fela Kuti
May 23 2024

please hold, somebody's on your line. ass music

american dream by LCD Soundsystem
May 24 2024

really liked sound of silver by him, but this is just to long and just not as good as sound of silver.

Eagles by Eagles
May 28 2024

bring as hell

Pump by Aerosmith
May 30 2024

literally sounds the same over the course of 47 minutes, so boring

Aja by Steely Dan
May 31 2024

fuck you steely dan and your shitty ass mediocre albums that somehow manage to go this list.

Amnesiac by Radiohead
Jun 02 2024

really like the more experimental cuts on this, but even the slower songs are quite enjoyable

Life Thru A Lens by Robbie Williams
Jun 03 2024

the good, the bad and the boring would be a more fitting title for this album

Talking Heads 77 by Talking Heads
Jun 04 2024

Miley Cyrus deserves jail time for what she did to Psycho killer. The Rest of the Album is Fine too

The Genius Of Ray Charles by Ray Charles
Jun 08 2024

just not my kind of music. fail to see the genius I guess, but still somewhat enjoyable

Back To Black by Amy Winehouse
Jun 10 2024

The Biopic about her is a Crime. Doesnt do Justice to a complex Woman Like Amy Winehouse

Back In Black by AC/DC
Jun 11 2024

Got this After back to black. Funny. also this is just too inoffensive to the ears. if I listen to metal I want my brain to be mushed an d not slightly caressed

Hail To the Thief by Radiohead
Jun 30 2024

R.I.P Thom Yorke, you would've hated Thom Yorke.

The Sensual World by Kate Bush
Oct 07 2024

Like it and it has some outstanding tracks like "Heads were Dancing", but overall doesn't wow me like her earlier projects do.

25 by Adele
Oct 08 2024

Lawd, why does every song sound the same? It sounds fine and all and lyrically this thing is great, but I would love for her to switch it up a bit.

Smash by The Offspring
Oct 10 2024

Feels like they got lost in the sauce on some of these tracks, but overall these tracks go HARD. Also the sounds dont offer Tham much sonic variety, but again, they go HARD, so who cares?

Melodrama by Lorde
Oct 14 2024

Love this album to death.

Music by Madonna
Oct 21 2024

Ooh she is an under-appreciated diva.

Celebrity Skin by Hole
Feb 16 2025

Courtney Love is definitely a force to be reckoned with in the grunge realm as both this album and "Violet" are absolute bangers. Now there are a few songs that meander on a bit, but overall this was a very pleasant listen.

Hot Rats by Frank Zappa
Feb 17 2025

What has that freak done to his strings? Also would rate this as 3,5 stars, but sadly that's not possible

Odelay by Beck
Feb 18 2025

While it at times definitely is an "it insists upon itself" album, it also has a lot of bangers. It just seems like he got to much into his head with some of these tracks and just started added things that don't even make sense.

Shaka Zulu by Ladysmith Black Mambazo
Feb 19 2025

Lord this record is one note. Like literally every single song sounds identical and that may come from me not understanding the language, but tbh I dont give a fuck.

Tago Mago by Can
Feb 20 2025

Giving Rush a run for their money both in song length and in personal enjoyment of said songs.

E.V.O.L. by Sonic Youth
Feb 21 2025

I only ever heard of Sonic Youth because of Kim Gordon and her fantastic record "The Collective", now I knew that that record as a very different sound than SY's stuff, but I still expected lots of great things and was honestly kind of disappointed by this thing. It isn't bad, but for the most part this just sounds like arbitrary noise with now clear arrangement or purpose to be found. Now there are some cute songs I liked, mainly "Starpower" and "Express to Yr. Skull", with the second half generally being stronger.

White Blood Cells by The White Stripes
Feb 22 2025

Not only they aren't siblings, but they also DIVORCED when doing this album? You got me fooled Mr. White and you too Mrs. White. Death to all of them. The album itself is kinda aight. 3.5/5

The Köln Concert by Keith Jarrett
Feb 25 2025

Do you think the audience lightly caressed their private parts, been so aroused by the "avantgardistic masterpiece" being played in front of them? Like I truly wonder why they cheered like Jimi Hendrix just gave the performance of a lifetime through an ouija board. This is like a guy playing the piano for one hour. That's it and for my money I would've booed him if I was there.
