The Low End Theory

A Tribe Called Quest

3/5

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

2112

Rush

2/5

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.

With The Beatles

Beatles

3/5

Ehhh

Paranoid

Black Sabbath

4/5

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

Led Zeppelin

3/5

Bangers with a few lenghts in between

Blackstar

David Bowie

2/5

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

The Rolling Stones

1/5

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

Gene Clark

2/5

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

Tom Tom Club

4/5

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

Lazer Guided Melodies

Spiritualized

3/5

Tries to be hazy, but ends up sonically cluttered.

Funeral

Arcade Fire

3/5

Talvin Singh

2/5

"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 Good, The Bad & The Queen

4/5

fucks my brain just in the right way

The Wildest!

Louis Prima

3/5

2/5

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

3/5

offensively mediocre.

Five Leaves Left

Nick Drake

3/5

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

Moondance

Van Morrison

3/5

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

Metallica

3/5

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

Chirping Crickets

Buddy Holly & The Crickets

3/5

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

The Yes Album

Yes

3/5

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

Manassas

Stephen Stills

2/5

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

Fleet Foxes

3/5

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

Garbage

4/5

Nice

Tarkus

Emerson, Lake & Palmer

2/5

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.

Chicago Transit Authority

Chicago

2/5

trumpets do not make a good album.

Either Or

Elliott Smith

3/5

very beautiful voice in a shallow packaging.

Feast of Wire

Calexico

2/5

The Number Of The Beast

Iron Maiden

4/5

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

Countdown To Ecstasy

Steely Dan

3/5

meh

If You Can Believe Your Eyes & Ears

The Mamas & The Papas

3/5

California dreaming is a banger but other than that theres not much to be found

The Bones Of What You Believe

CHVRCHES

4/5

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

Hejira

Joni Mitchell

3/5

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

Iron Maiden

3/5

Its Fine

Mothership Connection

Parliament

4/5

Yes man thats funk

Peggy Suicide

Julian Cope

3/5

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

Michael Kiwanuka

4/5

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

To Pimp A Butterfly

Kendrick Lamar

5/5

In A Silent Way

Miles Davis

2/5

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.

3 Years, 5 Months And 2 Days In The Life Of...

Arrested Development

4/5

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.

A Girl Called Dusty

Dusty Springfield

3/5

the Tate mcRae of the 60s.

Ragged Glory

Neil Young & Crazy Horse

2/5

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

Neil Young & Crazy Horse

2/5

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

4/5

Ctrl

SZA

4/5

its fine but SOS is so much better than this

Rum Sodomy & The Lash

The Pogues

1/5

god how I hate folk music. boring, noisy and bad.

Moving Pictures

Rush

3/5

Ágætis Byrjun

Sigur Rós

4/5

kind of boring at times but still good

Closer

Joy Division

3/5

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.

Peter Gabriel

3/5

"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

Bonnie Raitt

3/5

its really mediocre and boring, but inoffensive

Fever To Tell

Yeah Yeah Yeahs

5/5

Yeah yeah yeah

Modern Life Is Rubbish

Blur

3/5

Their Self Titled was a lot bettet

Sound of Silver

LCD Soundsystem

5/5

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

Ramones

4/5

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

Cypress Hill

3/5

boring but not unlistenable.

Endtroducing.....

DJ Shadow

2/5

This is a Mess.

Black Sabbath

3/5

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

Destroyer

KISS

3/5

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

Jimi Hendrix

2/5

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

Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness

The Smashing Pumpkins

2/5

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

Aerosmith

3/5

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

Out of Step

Minor Threat

4/5

The guitars giving there best

The Velvet Underground & Nico

The Velvet Underground

3/5

Boring but Sounds nice. Also Venus in furs is good

3/5

boring, yawning

Ten

Pearl Jam

4/5

our lord and saviour steezus christ blessed this album.

Young Americans

David Bowie

3/5

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

Billy Bragg

2/5

nothing happens so stfu about your house

Master Of Puppets

Metallica

3/5

boring and uninspired

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band

Beatles

3/5

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

Eminem

2/5

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

Wonderful Rainbow

Lightning Bolt

3/5

noise

The Queen Is Dead

The Smiths

3/5

Zombie

Fela Kuti

3/5

its ok

Fishscale

Ghostface Killah

2/5

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.

The Psychedelic Sounds of the 13th Floor Elevators

The 13th Floor Elevators

3/5

sounds ok. cluttered at times and didn't wow me once

Exodus

Bob Marley & The Wailers

3/5

Its ok

Live!

Fela Kuti

2/5

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

american dream

LCD Soundsystem

3/5

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

The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars

David Bowie

3/5

overrated af

Eagles

2/5

bring as hell

Pills 'n' Thrills And Bellyaches

Happy Mondays

2/5

Pump

Aerosmith

2/5

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

Aja

Steely Dan

1/5

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

Amnesiac

Radiohead

5/5

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

Life Thru A Lens

Robbie Williams

2/5

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

Talking Heads 77

Talking Heads

4/5

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

Ray Charles

3/5

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

Back To Black

Amy Winehouse

4/5

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

Back In Black

AC/DC

3/5

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

Tellin’ Stories

The Charlatans

3/5

britpop

Court And Spark

Joni Mitchell

4/5

its kinda cute

Hail To the Thief

Radiohead

4/5

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

Underwater Moonlight

The Soft Boys

3/5

Strong first half, weak second half.

The Sensual World

Kate Bush

4/5

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

Adele

3/5

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.

Devil Without A Cause

Kid Rock

1/5

Tom mc Donald before Tom Mc Donald.

Smash

The Offspring

4/5

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

Lorde

5/5

Love this album to death.

Music

Madonna

5/5

Ooh she is an under-appreciated diva.

Celebrity Skin

Hole

4/5

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

Frank Zappa

3/5

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

Odelay

Beck

4/5

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

Ladysmith Black Mambazo

2/5

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

Can

2/5

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

E.V.O.L.

Sonic Youth

3/5

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

The White Stripes

4/5

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

Ambient 1/Music For Airports

Brian Eno

4/5

The Köln Concert

Keith Jarrett

2/5

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.

Surfer Rosa

Pixies

4/5

The Soft Bulletin

The Flaming Lips
