Most repetitive album I've heard so far. If you've heard 30 seconds, you've heard the entire song. Holy shit, they do not need to be 15 minutes long. I'm sure it would make sense in a rave setting where I wanted to mindlessly dance all night. But in the car, it does not hold my attention at all.
Is this a rock album or a game of Dungeons & Dragons? Nah.
I can't believe this is their debut album. Legendary tracks and haunting riffs.
Beautiful songs of deep pain. Track 1 made the playlist.
After moving to TN, I realize now just how bold and outrageous this album must have been. Cash must have absolutely shocked southern folks. When you hear him speak, he's got that good old fashioned TN sense of humor and social ability that you can't find anywhere else. Oh, and the selection of songs on this album were dynamite. He even ended it by playing one of the prisoner's songs, which he said was taught to him the night before. As a listener, you really don't know what to expect. You put yourself in his shoes and feel the pressure of performing an important song with little to no rehearsal. Then he and the band absolutely nail it, and you're left realizing why he's the legend that he is.
This is a great band for someone out there, but not my cup of tea. They have annoyingly complicated time signatures, which can be cool in metal music, but confusing with rock. This is some soft ass nerd cheese mountain dew neckbeard D&D type shit.
If I'm being honest, about 50% of this album was a chore to listen to. The other 50% was good. The album is weird and not in a good way.
First of all, every song could be 2 minutes shorter. I forgot how many words this guy sings, but he never manages to say anything I connect with. I doubt if I'll ever voluntarily play this album again. Not my cuppa.
This could work for me if Adele was a better lyricist, but it mostly misses me. Clumsy wording shouted over soft piano is annoying to me.
Probably great for someone who likes country. I couldn't take 3 songs.
Few can do it like Janis. Her music was getting better and better. Sad she passed away right before Pearl. She was a mess, but she might have evened out with a little more time.
Creative and very listenable disco grooves with that beautiful 90s crunch. Iconic album name- all you have to do is say 'Jagged Little Pill' and everyone knows who you're talking about. People also know the lyrics. Taylor Hawkins on the drums just takes the record even higher. The way he winds up before they drop into the chorus works very well. Her first song made the playlist, but honestly any one of these songs could.
Did not connect with this one. I found it annoying, but I can easily see why he was a big star. He was the man for his time and place.
Disco choas from India, I think. I tried to watch the movie but couldn't find subtitles. One of the weirder albums I've encountered so far, but I can tell they put a lot of effort. I'd rather listen to this than Frank Sinatra.
Thought for sure I would find this annoying, but it really wasn't bad. Oddly enjoyable. Seems like it would work well in Scotland or some other cold, grey climate.
This album kicked ass. I can't believe these guy rocked this hard live, I thought this was only something people do in studios. Absolutely exceeded my expectations.
The crybaby bitch award goes to Neon Bible. I just can't dig the 80's hipster sound.
Such a great hip hop album. Wholesome, creative, and just good vibes. Hard to find stuff like this anymore.
I will acknowledge how diverse and rich this album is, but it's not my cup of tea. This album is probably amazing for someone else, but to me it's a labyrinth of random styles and I just have a hard time connecting.
Easily 5 stars. This is one raw record, with a beautiful analog crunch and cave man beats. Definitely blues inspired. The honesty and imperfections make this an unsuitable record for mainstream, yet it's so damn good, it became mainstream anyway. Once in a great while an album is released and it changes everything. White Bloods Cells is one of those albums.
Not as obnoxious as their first album, but not as memorable either. I actually gave their first album a bad rating for being annoying, but it's starting to grow on me. This album is pretty mid.
What a great summer album. I never thought I'd be into Kiss, but this album slaps.
Easy to see why this was such a sensation. A little slow paced for me though.
By white people for white people. At time it sounds like funk music, but often times sounds like white old fart music. Play it in your headphones while you're gerrymandering.
This was one weird ride. Experimental rock ranging from kick ass jams to unlistenable whackness. Cool in some ways but didn't make the playlist.
Haunting. It sounds like New York. If I'm being honest, this album had way more sax than I needed. Still, Bowie was one of a kind and he was true to himself. He allowed himself to express his feelings, even if it didn't create massive hits- even if it was uncomfortable. Incredibly, he still made massive hits. He was just too good to not be noticed.
Was definitely made in California. Despite the gangster themes, it's an upbeat, summer vibe all the way. Not really my cup of tea, but I'll add it to the 2 rap albums I listen to once a year.
Another great rap album, if you like rap. I prefer this to Cypress Hill. Nothing else to say. I'm not feeling gangster rap shit right now.
I know this album well. First cassette tape I ever owned. Haven't listened to it in a while because I used to play it too much. It's a great album to listen to when running.
Completely exceeded my expectations. This is one of those situations where if I wasn't told to check out this album, I would have never discovered it's awesomeness. Very fun and a little trashy. Definitely going to play it in the car with my wife this summer.
This is some boring conservative white people music. Holy crap. These guys made a song about sex less entertaining than algebra.
Yeah, not my favorite metal album. Music part was ok, but the over the top lyrics made them sound really stupid.
Much better than 25. She's not pretending to be deep, she's just being herself. Still kinda whiny though.
Weird and not in a fun way. These dorks took too much acid.
It's just crazy enough to work. I really like this shit. I think Rainbow Arabia took some influence from this record. I was not expecting some Caribbean punk sound, but dang it works for me.
A great jolt of energy. Not brilliant music, but definitely doing its own thing without a damn care. The sound quality is pretty rough but I still find it enjoyable.
Hot damn mess is the best way. Obviously a 5 star album. Incendiary guitar and funky ass bass. Good shit.
If it weren't for Stevie Nicks this would be 1 star. I never paid attention to Fleetwood Mac before. All I ever knew was that old people seem to love it. Little did I know, I've already heard nearly every song on this album before. I FUCKING hated it. That guys voice dude. It evokes some bad feelings. It reminds me of some lame ass old, dead inside, lethargic, middle-aged, farty, white man from Vancouver Washington. Fuck this music dude.
I liked this one. It has that 90's sound that I like, but I get the feeling they tried too hard to be something they're not on a few tracks. I'd listen again though.
Great live album, but he's got better stuff if you ask me. I've always loved Muddy Waters.
This album was annoying, just like all their other albums. The music isn't bad, it's the goddamn singer. Lazy shouting isn't singing. Devo did it better.
Pretty cool album. Definitely bold. Reminds me of a cross between The Strokes and System of a Down. Interesting combo.
Music is all vibes, lyrics are decent and intelligent at times, but subject matter is down right trashy.
If cheesy Christmas music was more mushy and whiny you'd have a Beach Boys song every time.
Cartoons have forever ruined this type of music for me. I can't take any of it seriously. Tom and Jerry absolutely bastarsized it. Not really my thing anyway.
Is not a bad album. I want to like it, but it somehow just falls flat. Maybe it's the lethargic singer. I love the crunch and the melody, but each song seems to drone on without any real changes. I was so conflicted by this one that I had to pause my albums so I could give this one a closer listen a few times. I just can't get into it but it's ok.
Most repetitive album I've heard so far. If you've heard 30 seconds, you've heard the entire song. Holy shit, they do not need to be 15 minutes long. I'm sure it would make sense in a rave setting where I wanted to mindlessly dance all night. But in the car, it does not hold my attention at all.
If you've heard 30 seconds, you've practically heard the song. Some songs are fun, some songs are boring and 10 minutes long. Still pretty cool considering the era it was released in.
Definitely has that 70s sound to it. Never noticed that before. Eddie Vedder has a great singing voice but I couldn't quite connect to his lyrics on this album- or on most songs for that matter. Still a fantastic album that brings me back to my childhood.
For a metal album, it actually has a feel good vibe to it. I bet my wife and I could totally cruise to this music.
I'm embarrassed at how much I enjoyed this album. It's more creative than most hip hop albums I've listened to. He's not trying to act super hard, just clowning around and trying to get laid. Pretty fun overall.
Completely rad album! David Lee Roth is obnoxious as hell, but he's young and dumb so it still comes off endearing. No one could play guitar like Eddie. Absolute legend. Wish I could give 4.5 stars because that's where I think it lands.
Dynamic band, I can see why they had such an influence. It's not all bubblegum and sunshine with this group either- they talk about real deep subjects too. Overall great, but I doubt I'll be throwing their music on too often.
I can see what all the fuss is about with his early work. It's passionate and very listenable. His use of kids singing about drugs and not dying was pretty tasteless through. He definitely belongs in the loony bin.
I'm a little amazed by how much I dig this. I'm having a similar reaction to this music as I had with The KLF.
Lyrics are interesting and the music is alright, but this guy's voice could put a crackhead to sleep.
The esthetic sucks. The reverb is grey as a shitty coastal town. The lyrics are wack. The songs are too damn long and Morrissey's voice is just the worst. I fucking hated this shit and hate their little bitch ass pre-teen attitudes.
Almost doesn't suck. Guitar is ok but sound quality is really bad. Singer is a fucking spaz and lyrics don't mean a damn bit of sense. BYOP does it better.
This probably blew minds in the 70's. Now it just blows ass.
Boy, that was a bit more than I expected. I always thought this guy was a dork. Turns out he's a perverted prick. Interesting album. I don't know if I'll keep it on rotation.
It sounds like the singer from Floater doing a bad impersonation of Frank Sinatra. The lyrics are so comically bad that I genuinely had to check and see if they were joking. They were not.
Definitely substance over form. Has a bit of a beatnik style to it. I actually enjoyed this album, but it's pretty heavy and not very musical.
Stupid name, stupid lyrics, and each song is way too busy. They need some lessons on restraint.
Ultimate come over and chill music. Good vibes but missing lyrical depth for me.
Too laid back and wack. These guys must be going through some kind of identity crisis, because their music is all over the place.
Nah, this ain't my cuppa.
So 60s it hurts. The band is a hot mess. Experimental, out of tune guitars, drug fueled experience. Not bad.
Absolutely sucks. Can't see how this made it on the list. Experimental unlistenable garbage.
Wow this album was ahead of its time. Yet somehow it's exactly what you would expect to follow the punk movement of 1977. This album is more refined and still more punk than most punk. Easily 5 stars.
Yes, this is straight summer vibes.
Is this a rock album or a game of Dungeons & Dragons? Nah.
Iconic album loved by everyone and for good reason. It's a little emo at times, but it hit just right in the 90's.
I know this is sacrilegious, but this album is not that great. Bunch of angry kids trying to get attention by saying extreme things and making themselves sound very stupid. Mostly image focused and little attention to substance.
Trashy lyrics with a good voice. Hard to enjoy.
Album sucks just like all their other ones.
Pretty good but would be even better without the loud horns. They're just not my thing.
Not enjoyable. These nerds need to lay off the drugs.
No bad, just not for me. The chants get really repetitive.
Clearly a talented group. When they say funky, they really mean it. Sometimes the experimental stuff doesn't quite work, but still a fun album.
Good background music.
Not bad. It definitely sounds like Tennessee. Not really my cup of tea tough.
Nah. Trying way to hard to be edgy. Shit is repetitive and boring.
No one does funk better than Sly. This album isn't my favorite, but it's still fun.
Not all bad but some songs are kinda stupid. She sounds too high to make any real sense sometimes. Complete trash intro too.
How many quaaludes would it take to enjoy this crap?
Fantastic album. Not all of it was my cup of tea, but the great care in creating each song was noticed.
I didn't connect much, but I can see why she's so loved.
Legitimately, some of the most troubling lyrics I have heard. Not only is the content horrifying, nothing rhymes and few of the lines flow together nicely- giving rise to discomfort and concern for the author. Rarely do I hear such disregard for lyrical flow. The words almost mean more to the author than the song. However, when you try to analyze the lyrics they seem almost too complex to make sense. The author's mania feels very real and very sinister. The whole thing is haunting.
Creative? Sure, but it doesn't make me feel anything. Each song is loaded with random sounds that seem to weigh the message down. At the core, there's usually a good groove, but the blank verses are throwing that off as well. On the whole, I'm not sorry for having never gone to a Beck concert.
Was this music designed to annoy me? I couldn't intentionally make something as random or obnoxious. The singer sucks so bad.
Wow, that was not relaxing, more like the opposite of a meditation. I'd like to rename this song to, "Here's everything I can do on a trumpet".
I can tell right away this album was the influence for other artists to come. Artistic and honest, but sometimes includes the noisy shit that I hated about Velvet Underground.
This album contains every cliche that exists. Is there anything real happening here? Or was this all produced to be clean, fake, and appealing? This shit is more artificial than Sunny D. This is the soundtrack of every sheltered white girl from the suburbs, and I hate it a little.
I don't get it. Did this guy take some kinda cocktail of antidepressants? I think this music was designed for drowning yourself in the bathtub.
The 80's is proof that drugs do not always improve music. These lyrics barely make sense and I don't get why every song is played slow with double time drums.
Pretty rad album. The Stones have high expectations and sometimes the B-sides get forgotten, but each one of these songs is a banger by other standards. Will replay.
A few songs are very well produced, while the majority of the album is really wack and sounds like two dudes goofing around to fill time in the studio. If they've got a greatest hits album, buy it and forget about the rest.
I really enjoyed this one. She's a great singer and conjures up all the 60s vibes.
Do you enjoy fever dreams? Do you hate your eardrums? If the answer is yes, then this album is perfect for you.
Sounds like someone took some influence from Deep Purple, but took it in a more mellow direction. Strangely, I knew every song on this album, but have never put it on myself. The older I get, the more I feel like I understand Boston. It would definitely be a safe concert to slightly turn up and vibe.
He might as well be speaking Arabic. Can't understand a word. Guitar is fun and thrashy, but overall this just sounds like noise to me. I'm usually a punk fan too.
I was not expecting to enjoy this album very much, and on my first listen through my mind didn't change. But the album was so short I played it twice and I connected with it more the second time around. It's a solid little album and they might be playing fast, but they hit their notes for the most part. Lyrics are a lacking a little but great compared to most punk.
I recognize the talent and the energy, but it's just not for me. Those damn horns can fuck right off.
My favorite Arctic Monkeys album. One of my favorite albums of all time. Basically the soundtrack of my 20s.
Good album overall, but I've never fully connected with it. These songs have been played to death on the radio and I could probably go the rest of my life without hearing them.
Funky, raw, and not as great sober. If I were tripped out on drugs this would probably be epic. Still very good but not my go to.
This is my kind of hip hop. Creative, artistic, and not trying to be super hard or narcissistic. Good vibes all around.
Same old garbage that every bad artist raps. Couldn't make it beyond 3 songs.
I just can't. I really tried to get into it. Maybe it's the low sound quality or the unclever and weird lyrics. At best they sound like a worse version of Blind Melon. Most of the time they sound like an annoying hair band without a clue. This was painful.
Better than some of their other albums. Still doesn't blow me away though. It doesn't reach me on a deep level. Good party music though.
