Gorillaz by Gorillaz

one of my favorite albums of all time, can't believe this got cut from the list and not replaced with another gorillaz album

American Gothic by David Ackles

i have no idea why i enjoyed this

Sign 'O' The Times by Prince

he got hit with post nut clarity on forever in my life

KIWANUKA by Michael Kiwanuka

fuck man.

the beats on this unironically sound like the "evil type beat" memes, minus the goofy sound effects (the fun part). The delivery is horrible and british and when the guy tries to sing it isn't much better. I hope DIzzee Rascal can forgive me for giving him that 2 because i now know that it can get so much worse.

69 Love Songs by The Magnetic Fields
Jun 20 2024

did this blow me away with how great the songs were? no. am i ever going to listen to it again? probably also no. did it keep my attention for almost 3 hours without making me want to end it all? yes, so that's something.

Hypocrisy Is The Greatest Luxury by The Disposable Heroes Of Hiphoprisy
Jul 17 2024

spoken word poetry about "we live in a society" bullshit over beats that sound like every tribe called quest song was thrown into a hole and left to go bad in the sun and turn into mush

Live! by Fela Kuti
Sep 25 2024

i was gonna write a review complaining about the 16 minute drum solo song but that's a bonus track so it doesn't count and the album is still 5 stars.

midway through the album i realized i could be listening to literally anything else so i listened to K.G. by king gizzard and the lizard wizard and i'd rate that a 5 but this isn't K.G. by king gizzard and the lizard wizard so it gets a 3

Oct 07 2024

earlier this week i contracted some sort of condition that leaves a constant smell in my nose that i feel everywhere i go but no one else does. it is not a good smell, almost like cheap paint. it's not unbearable and it's usually not very strong but sometimes it flares up and i can feel every note of it. i thought it would be cool to make music that sounds like that smell but unfortunately i am not a musician so i can not make that. turns out 20 years ago someone captured exactly what i was thinking of. this album is almost comforting in how constantly unpleasant it is. spectacular work, as of publishing this review I've listened to this album 4 times. top 5 lowest rated albums on the site? nooo, no no no.

Hypnotised by The Undertones
Oct 10 2024

Got pretty interesting towards the end bust mostly still just the standard punk affair, it's decently enjoyable

Oct 11 2024

This album is pretty frustrating because it could've been so much better. Cut the interludes (or even make them into actual songs), cut some of the bad or boring songs and you got an easy 5 star. shame.

Slippery When Wet by Bon Jovi

"i really need to include a 24th 50s album on this list but i only have $10 to spend on a record! If only the local thrift shop had an old album that no one wants!" -list author

Idlewild by Everything But The Girl
Dec 20 2024

at some point i thought to myself "man that's a really long first song" and when i checked spotify i was on the 5th song i hate the 80s so much

Dec 26 2024

just wanna quote Phil Spector's sportify bio "Spector re-emerged in the late '60s and was hired by The Beatles to do post-production on their controversial Let It Be album; critics and Paul McCartney himself found Spector's work faulty, although it must be pointed out that the material he was given to work with didn't rank among The Beatles' best." that's very funny that they put that there i think.

S&M by Metallica
Feb 07 2025

for the second time U2 give me a very good album that ultimately fails to break into my personal top tier. I must commend the band for putting out great material 20 years into their career even if it isn't something I particularly love.

Dawg what the fuck. The album is literally one guy talk singing over the same noise loop for 30 minutes which I was fine with until he started screaming in my ear. I actually see no reason for why anyone has to listen to this before they die unless the author also thinks you should try drilling a hole in your arm before you die.

Greetings From L.A. by Tim Buckley
Feb 19 2026

There's not much I hate in music more than the species of 70s song that this albums is mostly populated by. It's the kind that after being done with the main substance of the song just keeps going, droning on and on and would rather become annoying and bad (which multiple of these songs do) than end, and even when it does end it is often in a fadeout, the absolute worst way for a song to end. If you see a 40 minute album with 7-8 4-7 minute songs - run, run before this groove filler gets you and wastes your precious time on bullshit. Controversially I think Young Americans is also made up of this kind of song. The thing is, Tim Buckley is no David Bowie.
