MGMTThis album has a few very memorable songs and the rest are more or less forgettable. Sounds like 2 potheads that had to write 7 filler songs

Spent years thinking that Roundabout was the only good Yes song. This album has proved me wrong
Wasn’t expecting a dance album.. It’s not really my thing, but it is a 52 minute long banger
One of my all time favorite albums. The deluxe edition has an extended version of Wasted Hours that is incredible
Great album, I’ve never really listened to REM outside of singles but this is a beautiful album
I stopped at D.S.M.R. Prince is one of the greatest musical minds of all time. He was an incredible multi-instrumentalist and an absolute legend in every sense of the word.. With that said, I hated this album so much. I didn’t even finish it, and even skipped a couple songs. All of the tracks seem to be at least 2 minutes longer than they needed to be. I’d rather scoop my eardrums out with a cocaine spoon than listen to this ever again
Even though I’m not really into soundscapes, this was really good. It’s mostly 2 tracks but they have so many dynamics that it was fun to listen to
This is the first Chili Peppers album I’ve listened to cover to cover, and I’ve gotta say I loved it. It’s great driving music but they’re all bangers too
This album is fine, but the tracks are almost out of order. Why Starlight is not in the middle of the album, I’ll never understand. Muse has better albums
Perfect album cover to cover. Nirvana isn’t one of my favorites, but listening to this makes their huge success understandable
Such a dramatic album but still only getting 4 stars because of all the skits
This was really good. It reminds me of Beach House if they were a 90s band.
This was a non stop intensity from beginning to end. My first time listening to them and I definitely get the hype
I’m not sure why this is on this list. It’s listenable and not a bad album but every song sounds more or less the same
Love this album, not sure why it’s on this list
This is one of the most epic, timeless albums I’ve ever listened to
I don’t get it. Had some good songs, but by and large it’s a bunch of drunk friends trying to play the blues
A bunch of catchy, clever songs from an almost unknown indie band
I doubt I’ll ever listen to it again as I’m not a fan of her voice but this was still really enjoyable
This reminds me of a middle eastern Massive Attack. I recognize that it’s good but it’s just not my thing
This sucked. There’s no other way to put it. A majority of the songs are just 5 minutes of them saying the song title over and over and over again. Hated it
This whole album felt like a cigarette with a cup of coffee. 5 stars
This was absolutely explosive. Even though there was some unnecessary jamming, I could tell that they were just full of energy and locked in together
I’ve never understood the Lou Reed hype. Adding Nico to this only made something I already don’t like worse. Not a fan
This was a good album with some great harmonies and really nice instrumentation. It was also tastefully psychedelic. My only complaint is that it’s very much trying to do what the Beatles were doing at the time
I didn’t have time to listen to the full thing. Will listen tomorrow
Easy to listen to, but ultimately it’s 70s porn music
This is 22 minutes of the 12 bar blues and other people’s songs. Jerry Lee Lewis was also a piece of shit. Fuck this guy and fuck this album
This album is great cover to cover. Bonus points for the go-go beats
This sounds like a great driving album. Didn’t know the theme song for That 70’s Show was a cover. Pretty cool
I would love to revisit this while flying. It’s beautiful but the album title describes it perfectly. This would be perfect to listen to while people watching at the airport
This album has some amazing textures and is a perfect blend of electronic music with a full band. I love Radiohead so much
I’m so glad I got this one the day after Hail to the Thief. Much like Hail to the Thief, Kid A is a work of art
I’ve never been a huge fan of the Smiths but this album was awesome
This album is really pretty and it has a lot of different textures, but ultimately it sounds like something hippie chicks listen to when they brush their armpit hair.
ALL BANGERS
Sounds like empty nester dad poetry
Never liked the Talking Heads and this didn’t change that
I’ve heard Another Piece of my Heart before and all of these songs sound like drunks at a BBQ. 3 stars for Janis though
I’m shocked that I liked this as much as I did
I hated it. I really don’t care for this style/genre/microtonal singing
This album sucks. “Let’s just play out of tune! None of us can sing, might as well moan whatever the song title is.” What an awful piece of shit this album was
This was fun
Elton John is the master of piano ballads, but it gets exhausting when it’s a full album of them
I like The Who a lot but this was exhausting to listen to
I’ve always loved The Joshua Tree, but I never listened to War outside of the singles. Awesome album, aggressive drum sound
I’ve listened to this a few times in the past. Not my thing but it’s a great example of how to make odd time signatures easy to listen to
I’ve never cared for the White Stripes aside from a few songs. Listening to this album changed nothing
This album means the world to me. I know it makes me sound like a redneck, if anyone ever says anything bad about Lynyrd Skynyrd, I would quickly direct them to this masterpiece
This was my first time enjoying something with Jeff Tweedy, Billy Bragg was great too. I’ve never heard of him before this
This was incredibly boring. Just strings and synths behind someone who listened to far too much Bob Dylan.
I’m going to finish this tomorrow, but it’s so good. I can’t see myself changing the rating
This was alright but it all kind of ran together. Interesting version of Heard it through the Grapevine
I recognize it as good but it’s not my thing
Before this, I had only heard of Husker Du. I really didn’t like it at all
