I'm fairly certain this would be much better if I were a fan of this band prior to listening to this, or if I had somehow seen the concert live before I was born. However, this album is so long that it felt like a chore to get through the whole thing, especially with the ridiculous runtimes of each song. The instrumental solos were crazy long, which would be fine live at the concert, but doesn't translate well to the recording, and I didn't see the merit of listening to 3 different recordings of the same song. The music itself is actually quite enjoyable, and I liked at least parts of every song, so it's hard to pick favourites. I think I would be better off listening to the original versions of these songs and their original albums, which I think I would enjoy a lot more and rate a lot higher. I get its cultural significance, and that it is slightly different since it a live album, but I didn't love these particular recordings. I would've given it a 2 for the songs, but there are two more Deep Purple albums on this list, so there's no reason I NEEDED to hear this before I die. 1, there are definitely other albums that deserved this spot

Apparently this is one of the highest rated albums ever. Either those people really love rock or are understanding this in a way more intellectual way than I am. I get that there's a story behind all the lyrics but honestly I had a hard time understanding it without having the Wikipedia summary open. Probably need a few more listens through to fully "get it". This is also definitely one of those albums critics praise for being coherent because of the story and the fact that a lot of the songs start to blend into each other in your mind after a while. Setting that aside the music was nice, but I found that I was enjoying the instrumental interludes within the songs much more than the singing. Comfortably Numb will always be great, and was the only song off this album I had heard before. Favourites: Comfortably Numb, The Doctor (Comfortably Numb), Hey You, Nobody Home, Another Brick in the Wall Pt. 2, The Trial, Run Like Hell, and any other track with an instrumental solo (can't remember). Safe to say Disc 2 carries my rating. 3, sorry I'm not intellectual enough to rate higher but I do think rock operas are cool

Kind of chill, this guy was definitely a Beatle. Not anything groundbreaking for me but I liked most of the songs. Obviously Imagine was the only song I had heard beforehand, and it remains my favourite song on the album after hearing the rest. Other favourites are Oh My Love, Oh Yoko!, Crippled Inside, and on a good day, Jealous Guy. I don't really have much to say about it other than it was nice to space out to and it's the type of album that I'll remember exists and then listen to some songs off of it every now and then in the future. While writing this I took a break to read some Wikipedia and turns out he hit his first wife, I guess that explains Jealous Guy. Also yeah the soldier song was actually agonizingly long like I got the message bro don't worry. 3, just average to me

Was only familiar with a few of Siouxsie and the Banshees songs before listening to this album, so it was nice to listen to more of their music. To be honest I kind of zoned out during the second half of the album, and didn't really connect with those songs, except for maybe Night Shift and Sin In My Heart. However, I really liked Spellbound, Arabian Knights, Halloween, Into The Light, and Fireworks. Nothing was able to top Happy House though, which is my all time favourite song of theirs. Overall, I think this band does a great job of creating their own unique and recognizable sound while still making it sound good and actually listenable. Other artists could take notes. 4, a little over half the album was pretty great but the rest didn't quite resonate with me

Love! Great music and great vibes all around. Very nice very classic, this was super pleasant to listen to, and doesn't require much brainpower to enjoy. Also appreciate that this reminded me of the existence of Starman, whose chorus evokes such a pleasantly nostalgic/happy feeling that I can't help but smile while hearing it. A good melody will always make me like a piece of music, and I think that most of the tracks on this album deliver on that end in a very convincing way. Honestly I probably need to listen to the rest of David Bowie's discography because I seem to be liking almost every new song of his that I listen to. Favourites from this album were Five Years, Moonage Daydream, Starman, Lady Stardust, Star, and Rock 'N' Roll Suicide. I'm floating between a 4 and a 5, but after re-listening to some of the tracks, I'll round up this time. Fantastic stuff

Can't say I really loved this one. I'm not a huge fan of blues-ey music and I had a difficult time feeling connected to the music. I didn't like it for two main reasons: it was often repetitive without being catchy, and it didn't evoke any emotion, which are criteria that can often make or break my enjoyment of a piece of music. It wasn't a terrible album, just pretty average the whole way through, and there weren't really any standout songs to me even after listening through a couple times. I can understand if people love the album but it didn't do it for me. Favourite song was Love Her Madly. Maybe in the future I'll revisit, but for now this is unfortunately my first 2, not my cup of tea

I'm fairly certain this would be much better if I were a fan of this band prior to listening to this, or if I had somehow seen the concert live before I was born. However, this album is so long that it felt like a chore to get through the whole thing, especially with the ridiculous runtimes of each song. The instrumental solos were crazy long, which would be fine live at the concert, but doesn't translate well to the recording, and I didn't see the merit of listening to 3 different recordings of the same song.

I would've given it a 2 for the songs, but there are two more Deep Purple albums on this list, so there's no reason I NEEDED to hear this before I die. 1, there are definitely other albums that deserved this spot

Interesting and not my usual listening. I'm not at a 90s UK rave right now, and I probably won't be in the foreseeable future so I'm sure that also impacts my enjoyment of the album in some way. Songs I kind of liked were Breathe, Funky Shit, and Climbatize. 2, I cannot see myself listening to this ever again though one day I'll probably wake up and flip a switch and think this is the most incredible music ever produced

I am always partial to melodious/tuneful music, and almost all songs on this album are just that, with beautiful accompanying instrumentals. Sure, it's not the most unique or interesting sounding music, but I really loved its comforting and lyrical nature, and it almost feels like a warm blanket of sound to the ears. It also helps that I was a pretty big fan of the Bee Gees prior to listening (though I had never heard any of the tracks on this album before). I liked pretty much every track, but especially liked Walking Back to Waterloo (shoutout Waterloo), Dearest, When Do I, Remembering, The Greatest Man in the World, Israel, and How Can You Mend a Broken Heart?. There's also something about their voices and overall sound (much more lush and full maybe?) compared to other groups that they are often accused of imitating (ie. the Beatles) that I really prefer, and I honestly can't quite explain why. Anyways, I understand that many people found this boring/uninspired, so I don't think that this is an album that EVERYONE needs to hear in their lifetime (though I do think some of their disco stuff should've been included instead). However, I'm glad that this list got me to listen to it - I personally loved this album and it made me feel happy, which is all I can really ask for. 5, it's not for everybody but it's for me!

Started off pretty normal but by the last few tracks I had to check if I already finished the album and accidentally switched to "calming extraterrestrial study beats" without knowing. It was a different sound than the first David Bowie album we heard (Ziggy Stardust), but not in a bad way at all. Favourite tracks were Speed of Life, Sound and Vision, and A New Career in a New Town, and the instrument-only tracks were chill too. Time and more listens will almost certainly increase this rating, but for now I'll put it at a respectable 3 - no real standout hits but very enjoyable nonetheless

Had to listen on YouTube because majority of the album isn't available on Spotify. Was pretty chill and had good summer vibes, also the runtimes were short and succinct for once, which made for a nice listening experience. Favourites were Fall On You, 8:05, Someday, Sitting By The Window, and Lazy Me. 3, put it on Spotify bruh

Not much to say about this immortal album that everyone and their mom loves. Thank you generator for giving me an excuse to listen to it on this fine Friday. Favourites are basically the whole album. Pretty much an automatic 5, simply great

Such a happy feel good album that really embodies summer, can't wait to listen when it's warm out. The album is a bit long, but it's so good that the runtime is completely justified and I didn't really even feel that it was that long while listening through. Also had no idea Gangsta's Paradise was based on a song from this album. Favourites were Sir Duke, Knocks Me Off My Feet, Summer Soft, Ordinary Pain, Isn't She Lovely, As, Another Star, and Ebony Eyes. Pretty solid 5, the vibes are too joyous

This was so aggressively average to be honest. Like it's normal rock music, nothing super amazing and groundbreaking, but also nothing super abhorrent or unlistenable. Lots of the songs sound like something Kyle the WUSA trivia host would put in his "Guess the Song" questions because they're so white and generic sounding. That being said I rock with it heavy on some occasions - Girl From Mars, Oh Yeah, and Let It Flow are certified bangers. High 3, I'm cool with it

Was convinced I would rate this pretty highly when I started listening because the opening tracks are some of their strongest. Unfortunately it was somewhat downhill from then on out. To be honest, I got kind of bored as the songs got less catchy and I can't tell whether that's because they were actually worse, or I just didn't know them from before. Either way, this didn't change much on the second listen. Favourite songs were the first 3 tracks (obviously), also Red Hill Mining Town had its moments. 3, unfortunately three tracks can't carry the whole thing, especially when they're not spread out

Literally just more rock music except this time some of the songs have no lyrics. Is the author of this 1001 list allergic to listening to anything that's not British rock made before the year 2000 or something? No hate but it's kind of stretching my patience thin. There is so much more unique music out there (that is more deserving of a place on this list than SOME albums we've heard) and yet we keep getting fed British rock band after British rock band. I'm sure there's some contextual significance or explanation that I'm missing, but I've decided to stop looking into the albums so deeply since good music shouldn't have to rely on the listener's prior knowledge to be enjoyable or to convey a message. Anyways I don't even hate this album at all I just think there should be some diversity on this list. Favourites are The Wait and Complications, though Requiem and Bloodsport are good too. Another 3 - was okay, somewhat repetitive, but nice beats to have on in the background while you dissociate

I think the generator was listening to me because we finally got something that isn't British rock! This album was great, I loved the vibes and all songs were very pleasant to listen to. Favourites were Our Lips Are Sealed, How Much More, Tonite, Lust To Love, This Town, Fading Fast (!), Automatic, and You Can't Walk In Your Sleep (basically majority of the album). Pretty great album to end the week on, this was at least a high 4 for sure "Despite becoming America's darlings, the Go-Go's lived the wild life of rockers, swallowing as many pills and taking as much cocaine as possible, trashing hotel rooms, and just generally being bad." Yay women

Back to regularly scheduled programming with this one (all male English rock band). Hooray. I will say though that I've been wanting to listen to Led Zeppelin's music. It was okay, favourite song was Babe I'm Gonna Leave You. You Shook Me and I Can't Quit You Baby (chill guitar solo) were also pretty good. Listened to this album like 3.5 times through, but I think it's going to be another 3

Some nice sounding bops on this one, I actually really enjoyed it. Some good environmental messages too. Favourites were Take A Load Off Your Feet, Disney Girls (1957), and 'Til I Die. I also rock with Don't Go Near The Water and A Day In The Life Of A Tree because environment. Solid 4 today

Kind of just a bunch of fun and silly songs and lots of singing about girls on this one. Also My Perfect Cousin is so real. Favourites are There Goes Norman, See That Girl, and Under The Boardwalk. I'm a big fun enjoyer so here's another 4

Finally we get something that was released after the year 2000. Was just some chill vibey stuff with some cool electronic instrumentals, which were what I liked most about the album. Although I enjoyed it, I find it hard to understand why this album is on the list - I had never heard of this artist (60,000 listeners on Spotify), and there are plenty of new albums that are far more influential and unique sounding. Nevertheless, I really liked Slow Motion, The Architect, and I Wish, and will give this my third 4 in a row

Love that the generator is finally giving us some more unique music that I wouldn't have heard of before. Honestly even though it wasn't my favourite thing ever, I think that more albums like this one that force an average listener to go outside of their usual genre/scope should be included on this list. I really appreciated finally getting to hear something that wasn't from an American, British, or Irish artist. The songs were long, but they were pretty funky and enjoyable. I probably need a bit more time with this one to fully appreciate it, but I'm going with a very solid 3 for now

Our first hip-hop album so far. Big fan of the instrumentals/beats on this one, and sonically, I don't really have any complaints. I really feel like it brings you back to the time and place it was made. Questionable and outdated lyrics at times (which are the subject of many critical reviews), but I don't feel as though they take away from the overall sound of the album. 4, easy to groove to

Hooray, our second all female group !!!!! I really need to start writing the review or at least take notes while I listen because then I come back and forget what it sounded like as well as literally every single thought or opinion I had about it so then I have to relisten. Anyways, this ate. I liked the blend of hip-hop, R&B, and pop, it's just some cool stuff with some smooth instrumentals. Favourite tracks were Diggin' On You, Case of the Fake People, Red Light Special, and Let's Do It Again. Also I think they were trying to convey some sort of message... something about being controlled, undesirable, and lame? Not sure, they didn't repeat it enough times. Another 4

Pretty average to be honest. Nothing extremely detestable or anything, it just wasn't the most memorable. However, I thought it had a really comforting sound which I liked. Kind of just calm and chill with some nice instrumental moments. Favourites were I Remember Me, Room Games and Diamond Rain, Transylvania Blues, Let's Not and Say We Did, and Friday Night Fever (!). Not a big fan of some of the really exposed singing on some tracks, but most of them were good enough that I didn't notice. 4, I really liked half the songs on the album but the rest I am indifferent to

Ummmm. Not really my vibe, objectively the music is okay, but the lyrics are atrocious. Also kind of zoned out at random points during my listen through. Songs I liked more than the others were The Beautiful People, Cryptorchid, Angel With The Scabbed Wings, Minute Of Decay, The Reflecting God, and Man That You Fear. 2, I didn't really like it that much

I really liked the fusion of hip-hop and rock-and-roll sounds in this album - they work well together and it's just great to jam to. It was fun and another very solid album with plenty of iconic and classic tracks. Favourite songs were Walk This Way, It's Tricky, and Raising Hell. 4, good stuff

Been wanting to listen to this one for quite a while, since it contains a large number of the Sex Pistols' most famous songs. I will say that I appreciate what they have done for punk rock, but I am neither impressed nor disappointed with this album. It wasn't really anything groundbreaking and there was nothing that really stood out to me while I listened to it in the background while I worked. Favourites were Holidays In The Sun, No Feelings, and Anarchy In The UK. It's a classic and undoubtedly influential album, and includes many well known hits, but I just can't get myself into it that deeply. Default 3

Bro COOKED with this. I feel so happy and content while listening, I just love getting into completely new genres of music that I would've never listened to before. Instrumentals were banging too. Favourites were basically the whole album, but especially Xica Da Silva. Easily at least a 4

I am so serious I fw this album heavy. If I had rated The Go-Go's Beauty and the Beat a 5 (which I should have and regret short selling them now), this could also very well be a 5. Just a really unique sound, very otherworldly at times, and it just all fits together so nicely and I loved it. Added to library and checked out the song he did with Mumford & Sons, which I also liked. 4

Another BANGER album except this time there's no lyrics and instead it's some funky organ which eats every time. Also a pleasant surprise to realize I actually knew the title track, despite thinking this was going to be come obscure album I never would've even come close to hearing of otherwise. These instrumentals are just so cool and I don't care that it keeps reusing the organ sound - each track has its own "idea" that is just as good as the rest so I can't choose a favourite (although Green Onions may be it, just due to how recognizable it is). I have also broken out of the matrix and will be giving out 5s more liberally now based on initial impressions without overthinking it so that a Beauty And The Beat tragedy never happens again. Welcome to my 5/5 club Green Onions

Better than John Lennon, that's for sure. I liked a good number of the songs on this one, nothing groundbreaking but some great tunes. I found the intros of each song to be a particularly strong point of the album. Favourites include Mrs. Vanderbilt, Let Me Roll It, No Words, and Nineteen Hundred And Eighty Five. Easy listening makes for another 4

Boy oh boy where do I even begin. I don't even have to listen through to know this is 5 stars, but I will anyway. I just can't believe how he loaded this many bangers into one album - Movin' Out, The Stranger, She's Always a Woman, Vienna (!), Just the Way You Are, and more - what a guy. Whole album is my favourite, fantastic way to start the week

Haunting and desolate, but also calming and peaceful. Probably best listened to alone. My favourite tracks were A Minor Place, I See a Darkness, Another Day Full of Dread, Death To Everyone, Today I Was An Evil One, and Raining In Darling. Not the best vocals but they fit the vibe. A shame it isn't on Spotify because I swear there was an ad like every 2 songs on YouTube. 4, another album added to the high ratings streak

Ok here we go with another generic British rock album. Don't hate it, I actually liked some of the songs, but overall I'm just kind of indifferent to it. Also had some cool guitar solos. It's been a good run the past 6 days but all good things must come to an end, we are back to the default score of 3. Favourites were Wild Flower, Love Removal Machine, Born To Be Wild, and Outlaw

This is the most beach samba an album can get, really lives up to its name. Whole thing has this nice laid-back vibe, also loved the background strings featured on some of the tracks and the fact that all songs were relatively short. Favourites were Misty Roses, The Face I Love, Oba, Oba, I Had The Craziest Dream, I Think Of You, Nao Bate O Corocao, and It's A Lovely Day Today. Cool 4, we're so back

Pretty likeable and fun tunes. Even though I had to listen 3 times because I kept forgetting what I was going to write in my review, I surprisingly really enjoyed it and even added some songs into my current playlist. My top 3 tracks were Cities, Air, and Heaven, the last of which brought my rating of the album up to a 4

I feel like Simon & Garfunkel is an artist where I'm always surprised by the fact that I like their music, but I really do enjoy their work. This album had a very nice calming sound with some happy melodies and folk-y instrumentals. Cool songs overall, except for the one that one "song" in the middle that took its title way too literally and kinda ruined the vibe. It was a sweet but I'm generally not a fan of hearing non-music interludes or skits on an album, so it honestly brought my rating down to 4 stars. Big fan of the 29 minute runtime though. Favourite songs were Save the Life of My Child, America, Old Friends, Mrs. Robinson, and A Hazy Shade of Winter

When I saw that this was another live album I trembled in fear as I recalled the day where I had to sit through all of Deep Purple's Made in Japan. Imagine my surprise and glee when I checked the runtime and the whole album was only a few minutes longer than Space Truckin'... anyways best songs were Money, Great Balls Of Fire, Lewis' Boogie, and Your Cheating Heart. I rock with this runtime so heavy and the songs are actually so fun so another 4 for the books

She ate this up, so many recognizable songs. Favourite tracks are Rehab, You Know I'm No Good, Me & Mr. Jones, Back To Black (!!! the BEST), Love Is A Losing Game, Tears Dry On Their Own, Wake Up Alone, Some Unholy War, and He Can Only Hold Her, though I still love the rest of the songs on the album and there are no skips or complaints as far as I am concerned. Super great, definitely a 5

Had a bit of a hard time getting into this album, to be honest it was a little on the long side as well... 21 songs... come on now. This is another one of those albums that's neither amazing nor trash that I really vibe with on some songs and am indifferent to on others. I liked the electric guitar. Favourites were Rock and Roll Crazies/Cuban Bluegrass, Jesus Gave Love Away for Free, Colorado and Hide It so Deep. Too lengthy and nothing that stands out to me, 3

Kanye West makes great music and this is an incredibly strong debut album. Even though this isn't even in my top 3 albums of his, it's still a 5 star for me. Again, not generally a fan of skits/interludes but he does a pretty good job on the musical interludes (Graduation Day, I'll Fly Away). The skits I still don't really like that much but they do not affect my rating because the majority of the songs on this album are bangers and the skip button is a wonderful invention. Personal favourites from this album are We Don't Care, All Falls Down, Spaceship, Jesus Walks, Never Let Me Down, Slow Jamz, Two Words, Through The Wire, and Family Business

The xx is one of many artists who I've been meaning to listen to more of since I like 1 or 2 of their songs before but never ended up getting to, so I'm very happy to have received this album from the generator to start the week. Interestingly, I think the instrumental intro was my favourite track on the album. Favourite songs were Intro, Crystallized, Islands, Heart Skipped A Beat, Basic Space, and Infinity. Very nice sonic experience, this marks my first back-to-back 5s I think!

Interesting to hear some of their work outside of Jimmy Fallon. Was pretty enjoyable for the most part, pretty unique sounds and instrumentals. Some pretty great songs and then some songs and interludes I don't really care for, but it was a solid album overall. Favourites were Sacrifice, Rolling With The Heat, The Seed (2.0), Break You Off, and Complexity. Satisfying listening experience, so a respectable 4

Slipping Through My Fingers makes me sad. Hadn't heard the majority of this album before, but even though these aren't their biggest or most famous hits I loved pretty much every song. I love ABBA. 5, saved to library

Kind of eccentric but surprisingly I fw it heavy. To be honest I kinda zoned out on a couple of the songs but on a second listen they are not bad, just weren't catchy enough to interest me the first time. Cool instrumentals and lots of unique ideas, I particularly liked the blend between electronic sound and real instruments (piano and strings). 4, a very stimulating listen that I may even consider giving a 5

Okkkkk some Canadian representation. I liked YYZ (Toronto mention), Limelight, and The Camera Eye but I wasn't like super wowed by the album or anything. Overall, pretty average and there were some enjoyable tunes throughout. 3, I just didn't feel like anything really spoke to me or stood out and caught my attention

Not garbage, this was pretty good. Pretty unique sound - I'm not sure what specific genre this is, but I loved it and would probably enjoy more music like this. I need to get ahold of my rating inflation but I liked this enough to give it yet another 5. Had many favourites, including Supervixen, Queer, Only Happy When It Rains, A Stroke of Luck, Stupid Girl, Dog New Tricks, and Milk.

This sounds great. I love many of the songs, has a very comforting sound with some chill beats. Some songs were a little more on the boring and bland side, but I didn't really mind as they served as nice background sound while I agonized over looking for a co-op. I'm not sure whether my music taste is expanding the more I listen to these albums, but I have been more or less been really liking the recent ones. My favourite songs were Stolen Car, Sweetest Decline, Pass in Time, Stars All Seem to Weep, Feel To Believe, and Central Reservation - The Then Again Version. Very nice, high 4

Lowkey boring, but has a nice familiar sound that's honestly kinda comforting. Sounds like its time. I think if it were sunny outside while I listened to this I would enjoy it a lot more. Unfortunately I am instead stuck fighting for my life at school. Favourites were Mr. Tambourine Man, I'll Feel a Whole Lot Better, All I Really Wanna Do, and We'll Meet Again. Average 3

First song was kinda nice and then the second song triggered my PTSD from WCI Intermediate Orchestra. Sometimes I can appreciate the "bad", "indie" sort of sound but I am honestly not in the mood right now and have no patience as I cannot do a single ounce of calculus and there is a quiz in 2 days. Here is a 3 Mr. Wyatt

Classic album that I hadn't really had a chance to listen to in full before, but am glad to have finally checked out. She has a very nice voice and these are some certified bangers. Had many favourites, including Ex-Factor, To Zion, Doo Wop (That Thing), Superstar, I Used to Love Him, Forgive Them Father, Everything Is Everything, and the title track. Also loved her version of Can't Take My Eyes Off of You. Took me a bit to get through the whole thing but I loved it, strong 4

Started off a bit slow for me, but I definitely warmed up to the songs as I moved through the album. I should be learning how to code right now but I am dedicated to this generator so here we are. Highlights are If You Only Knew, Remember His Name, What's Golden, Thin Line, After School Special, High Fidelity, One Of Them, and Hey. Fun and fresh, this was very good. Another high 4

It was okay, I was listening while applying to co-op jobs and nothing really stood out to me that much. Maybe I'm just in a crummy mood because I hate applying to jobs plus I won't be getting one. It's whatever though, favourite was probably Hole In the Head, though I don't even know if I actually liked it or it was the only one that was annoyingly catchy enough to stick in my memory. Please manifest me getting a co-op for Fall 2024. 3

This album cheered me up after the last one. Such cheery, funky, and happy vibes that I wish I could allow myself to fully enjoy especially with it being summer and all, but again, I'm in school and nothing is funny. My absolute favourite songs are Rock with You, Off the Wall, Girlfriend, and It's the Falling in Love, but I enjoyed the other songs as well. Pretty high 4

Soothing calm music that's sometimes a little weird but that's okay. I really like their banana album so was interesting to get to listen to more of their music. Made for a pleasant evening listen while I tried to learn how to code for my quiz on Friday. Favourites are Candy Says, Pale Blue Eyes, Jesus, and That's The Story Of My Life. 4, lovely songs

What the hell is up with these live albums and their 20-minute tracks. I don't need to hear all that. With that being said this was pretty groovy and made for some excellent background noise while studying. I don't care much for the excessive instrumental solos on recording though. Favourite was Done Somebody Wrong, 4

Big fan of the runtime because I feel as though I have no time for anything these days. Quite a quaint listen, songs are sweet and hopeful and I lowkey need to internalize these messages because nothing's funny right now. I am back on my album generator grind because I'm working on myself and getting my life together. I wish it was sunny while I listened to this. Favourite songs are The Way I See You (!), She Never Met A Man (She Didn't Like), The Mystery Of The Mystery, Coat of Many Colours, and A Better Place To Live. Not fully sure about the rating but let's say 4

A little boring to be honest. After a long hiatus I am back on the album generator grind, and in place of STV 205 which I have now dropped, I will be dedicating 3 hours a week minimum to catching up. Anyways I guess this one mostly just some nice soothing background sound while I fail at understanding AVL trees. There are some nice melodies though, and this could have been much worse. Personal favourite tracks were Time of the Preacher, I Couldn't Believe It Was True, Red Headed Stranger, Can I Sleep in Your Arms, and Hands on the Wheel. Loved the interlude (Down Yonder) as well, made me very happy. 3

I tried to listen to this album so many times in order to start catching up on this generator and I have finally made it through. Clearly I lied on the last review since it took me months to get it done tehe. It was a great way to pass time while I did nothing at work, since I have genuinely started running out of music to listen to because I listen to my playlist all throughout the 4 hours of commuting I do, plus almost the entire day at work, and I am starting to get sick of it real fast. It took me a little while to get into this album, especially since I am not the biggest jazz fan or listener, but it was chill to contemplate life and fall asleep on the train to. I feel that for jazz, I usually have to be in a certain headspace and I am simply not currently at peace enough to fully enjoy, but if I revisit it somewhere in the future I am certain it will be better than my current rating of 3. Kinda difficult to choose favourites on an album with 2 tracks, but I will say I think I enjoyed the second track, In a Silent Way, a little more

Took me many tries to get through this album but after yet another long hiatus we made it through. To be honest many of the tracks started to annoy me because of how repetitive and monotonous they got but there were some interesting ideas every now and then. Favourite tracks were Good to Be on the Road Back Home and Norwegian Wood - This Bird Has Flown but I fell asleep during a couple songs during the first half so there may be a banger in there that I’m missing. Overall cool album but I just didn't love it a whole lot evidenced by the fact that it took me this long to finally finish listening to it. 3

Banger instrumentals, not a lot of mid singing, and was easy to listen to while working. Yay! Second album of the day and liked this one a lot more than the previous. Favourite tracks were Peaches En Regalia and Son Of Mr. Green Genes, 4

Oh amazing another long ass album by an English rock band. I don't know why I just can't get into any of these "legendary" bands. Anyways it was okay as usual, I liked The Rover, Trampled Under Foot, Kashmir, and Ten Years Gone. No other real comments from me, 3

Nice and reasonable run time, this is what I like to see! Anyways why did this album actually hit - I genuinely enjoyed it a lot. It had that rock 'n' roll feel but actually had nice sounding melody and instrumentals. Anyways what a pleasant surprise, favourites were Detroit Rock City, Great Expectations (especially the outro), Beth, and Do You Love Me, easily a 4

Chill beats for this sunny morning, I am so happy I am almost free of this job. Kind of just dissociated to the music but it was very nice. Favourites were the title track, Island Letter, Happy House, Rainy Day, Strawberry Letter 23, and Sweet Thang. I'm really on a roll catching up and am in a relatively hopeful and good mood which will land this album a rating of 4

What the hell, sure. This generator always got me listening to some nonsense that I would never listen to on my own but this kinda eats, despite being all over the place. I loved the slightly haunting, medieval feel of the songs, and the female singer had the perfect voice for this. Wasn't as big of a fan of the male singer though, and the album cover could look a lot better. Also why was that Sally song on there 3 times… Favourites were Once I Had a Sweetheart, Lyke-Wake Dirge, Hunting Song, and The Cuckoo. Anyways I keep saying I'm going to get ahold of my rating inflation and then proceed to rate three albums in a row 4

Obviously the only song I was familiar with beforehand is Maps which I love and is still my favourite song on the album after listening to the whole thing. I also liked Black Tongue and Y Control as well, but didn't really care for the rest. Most of the other songs felt very noisy and not very sonically interesting. This would have been a 4 for me if it had just a couple more "good" songs, 3

Why did I actually really love this. Some of those instrumentals were so good they made me ascend while drafting meeting minutes. I honestly liked pretty much every song on the album, with a few exceptions. I just felt like it was SO long, especially as I was getting to the second half. Then I got excited that a professor I emailed for a URA position responded to me and don't know what happened during the last few tracks. Pretty solid 4 though

This was actually very good, no skips and even a few "add to my playlist" tracks in the mix. This was exactly what I expect an album by The National to sound like. Best song was Conversation 16, and other favourites include Sorrow, Bloodbuzz Ohio, Runaway, England, and Vanderlyle Crybaby Geeks. You know what why the hell not, 4 again

Okay whatever this was a 5 I don't even care about my terrible rating abilities anymore. Something about this album just did it for me, all the songs had those lyrical, dramatic, yearning melodies and I am a sucker for those. Plus I love The Smiths. Favourite songs were all of them. Just read that he is a racist oops sorry
