Listening to "Junkyard" by the Birthday Party was a bad experience and made me doubt that Nick Cave could make a good album. But his next project with the Bad Seeds made me think otherwise. The songs are brilliantly written and could be poems. Fun fact: Cave actually provides the gunshots on the second track. 4 stars for "Murder Ballads".

Madonna must've heard "Dummy" by Portishead. This album proves this assumption. But it's nowhere near as fantastic as "Dummy". "Substitute for Love" is my favourite song off "Ray of Light" After that, it slowly becomes a boring listen. 3 stars for "Ray of Light".

It's alright, nothing special though. However, Dylan really can write great songs. He just isn't the best singer. Overall, it's decent and introduced many to Bob Dylan's songwriting abilities.

I'm a big Radiohead fan and I think OK Computer is their best album. No wonder why it's considered to be one of the best albums of all time. I wasn't impressed when I first listened to it but it actually grew on me. A definite 5 stars from me.

Actually better than I expected. A solid album that deserves a listen. I'm actually glad this generator recommended me this. Just 998 albums to go...

Blur is a good band in my opinion. This is the album that made them a household name. What do I think of it? It's really good. Highlights include "Girls and Boys" and "Parklife".

It isn't as good as Paranoid but it still has charm. It's my first time listening to this so it might grow on me. "Changes" is a nice song, different from Black Sabbath's back catalogue but it's fine as itself. Another highlight is "Supernaut". I'll give it a 4.

"Gimme Shelter" is fantastic! That's the first thing I'll say about this album. The other songs are great but not on the same level as the aforementioned song. Before listening to this album, I had only heard a few songs of the Stones. Give it chance and I think you'll like it.

I don't really care about U2 but this album is quite good. It's just not my kind of album. Some songs are actually fun. I wasn't feeling it when I listened to this.

The album is pretty good in some places. It sounds nice but is also generic. I was a bit disappointed after hearing good things about them. It's not terrible, it's just not the top tier album I was expecting.

A nice album full of ballads, nothing significant except for "Tiny Dancer". A few songs sound similar to each other but it's ok. I've got a cold right now so I can't enjoy to its fullest. Elton and Bernie are a great writing duo. I'll give it 4 stars.

I like this album after listening to it for the first time. I was slightly put off by the long lengths of the tracks, thinking they would be boring and repetitive. Instead it's groovy and full of surprises throughout. LCD Soundsystem will performing in Glastonbury this year so that's something to look forward to.

The hits on this album are fantastic including "1979" and "Bullet With Butterfly Wings". The other songs are also great. MCatIS dips into a diverse range of styles- Check out the title track and "Tales of a Scorched Earth"! It's albums like this that makes me love alt-rock.

This album was a very pleasant surprise. I've barely heard of the Black Crowes prior to getting recommended this album by the generator. It isn't a grower, it's a classic that'll get you hooked by the first minute. A few records have done that to me, not even some of my favourite albums could enthral me at the first listen. That's how special this album is. 5 stars, nothing less.

A chill album that's pretty good. I was impressed when I heard Beach House's "Space Song" on "Depression Cherry". Like that song, "Teen Dream" is a fantastic masterpiece. The vocals are awesome and fit with the tone of the album. I seem to keep getting recommended great records like this.

This is the first time I've ever heard of Miriam Makeba or any of her work. She really could sing beautifully. It's something different for me, something new. She fought against the evil system of apartheid. May she be remembered for years to come. All in all, this is a nice album.

This is a great LP where the album tracks stand out on their own. Stevie Wonder is a great singer, songwriter and instrumentalist and "Talking Book" shows that. The fantastic song "Superstition" is on this album. Another one in my flow of great albums, courtesy of this generator. "Maybe Your Baby" is one underrated song to look out for while listening. "Talking Book" is consistently great throughout and gets 5 stars from me.

It's Elvis so expect some great vocals all over this album. But it's clear that he was better suited for singles. That's why you only see "best of" compilations of Presley's work. The album tracks are standard 60s rock tunes. It's good but not great.

It's a solid album with lots of good songs. I think the legendary musician and producer Brian Eno's output on this record helps. The whole band is at their finest here. I did kind of expect it to be a boring, generic album before hearing it. It turns out that it's actually a fine LP. Moral: Try any new or unfamiliar albums - you might like it!

It's got a nice sound, combining punk and metal, although sometimes not blending together well. Some of the lyrics could easily fit into unfunny comedy rock. I thought this would be a more serious record. It's not bad but could do better. Apocalypse Dudes gets 3 stars.

It just isn't as cool or shocking as it once was. To me, the Sex Pistols seem like any other punk band from the late 70s. "God Save the Queen" is a banger along with a few other tracks. NMtBHtSP has tracks that sound often sound indistinguishable to each other. However, punk and most of its sub-genres wouldn't exist without the Sex Pistols. 3 stars for revolutionising music and paving the way for music artists I love, also for being quite good.

It can be considered cool in a way. The jug sounds like a drunk pigeon. The bass is pretty good while the singer sounds like a discount Axl Rose, who isn't great to begin with. This album has songs that could fit in a cheap, old "Best of the 60s" compilation CD. There's better psychedelic albums out there. I'm just that the album's not a total stinker. 2 stars for this record.

A very good album with great writing. Joni is a great singer-songwriter. "Blue" still holds up today after 53 years. The only song I've heard from her before listening to this was "Parking Lot". Another one off the list. 4 stars from me.

"The Bends" has a lot of great singles including "Fake Plastic Trees". It's not as amazing as "OK Computer" in my opinion but it's solid. This was the album that made Radiohead superstars. Thom Yorke is at his best here. "The Bends" is another reason why Radiohead is one of my favourite bands. I'll give it 4 stars.

Probably the worst album I've heard so far. Fred Neil was like Bob Dylan but worse. It's at least listenable to human ears. At least Fred tried to make a record. I won't be listening to this again. 2 stars, barely making it past 1.

This album is a mixed bag. It's annoying when they sing like the Bee Gees but it's good when they don't. There's some good electronic production in many tracks. "Mary" is actually splendid and a highlight of the album. It's too poppy for my taste. 3 stars for a decent album.

The titular track is a long epic with some cool segments throughout. The songs on the other side are mostly just filler. EL&P can do great songs like "Fanfare for the Common Man" (not on this album). I'm surprised they never did a soundtrack for a movie. They could've been amazing. Anyway, "Tarkus" is an OK album. 3 stars from me.

This debut by A Tribe Named Quest is superb. Q-Tip has a lot of great flows on this album. Everyone else done well too. It's about time I got a hip hop record. I adore the production that's present throughout I'm looking forward to hearing more of ATNQ's work. 5 stars for this masterpiece.

There's quite a few fantastic songs in "Imagine". The titular track, "How Do You Sleep?" and "I Don't Wanna Be a Soldier Mama" are my favourites. This is one of the best post-Beatles albums by any of the band's members. John's activism is visible throughout the album's lyrics and that's a good thing. It's better than some of McCartney's solo works. (Sorry Paul) 4 stars for this classic record.

This guy has an atrocious voice. Some of the songs are terrible. It could've been an improvement if Tom sung better. There's an occasional good moment here. Tom Waits has 5 albums on this list. Why? I think I'll have to give it a single star.

I don't know what to say about this album. It's alright but it's quite forgettable. I expected it to be a tad better. It's a blessing that Tweedy can sing unlike Tom Waits whose album I reviewed yesterday. The instrumentation is clever in places but it's not enough to stand out. 2 stars for this unremarkable album.

An interesting mix of country and punk. But "Meat Puppets 2" is quite boring. I've gotten a few duds in a row. There's some good tracks here and there. But that isn't enough to save this album. 2 stars this time.

Wow, this is much better than I thought. This album is entirely instrumental jazz. I never got bored while listening. It might be because I really like jazz. I've never heard of Mingus before Friday. 4 stars from me.

Another unknown album to me. I've never heard of Janelle before. "ArchAndroid" is good but not great. It just sounds like other albums from that period. I like its style most of time. I'll give it 3 stars.

It's a cool album with nothing special about it. It's a bit boring during the middle. Robert's voice is really good. The lyrics are like any other song in the mid 60s. At least it's not bargain bin compilation material. 3 stars for some nice songs.

I don't care for Devo. "Q:AWNM A:WAD" is weird and not wonderful with filler throughout. The lead singer isn't that good at his job. The others are a bit better with varying quality. "Uncontrollable Urges" and "Shrivel Up" are fun songs though. 2 stars for this insignificant album.

Most of the songs are just terrible covers. The Rolling Stones have become icons nowadays. But this a low effort shot at making an album. "Tell Me" (One of the only original songs) is a blast though. I'm glad that the songs are short. 1 star for "Self Titled" and "Tell Me" saves it from being complete garbage.

I don't have much to say about this album. But what I can tell you is that the bass sounds improvised. Also, I really like jazz so that's a good thing. It does get a bit boring towards the end. I can't wait until Monday for my next recommendation. I'll give it 3 stars.

An album I really like. The singles are fantastic, especially "The Drugs Don't Work". I think the rest of "Urban Hymns" is less impressive but not bad. With an overabundance of Britpop albums on the list, I can see why others hate it. Also, the 6 1/2 minute gap between "Come On" and the hidden track is a bit too long. This album is a nice addition to my listening portfolio. 4 stars for a solid record.

This album has lots of great beats. There's also some good verses. It's not the best rap album especially compared to A Tribe Named Quest's work. That Anthrax feature at the end was cool. I've reviewed a lot of albums now. 3 stars for a good effort.

This album started off with a bang but fizzled out a bit near the end. Shane McGowan's accent while singing is fantastic. The Christmas song "Fairytale of New York" is here if you know the Pogues from that. There's some great songs to be heard here. RIP Shane McGowan. 4 stars today.

I really liked this album. It's much better than I thought it would be. Stephen Stills is a great singer-songwriter. There's guest appearances from guitar legends Jimi Hendrix and Eric Clapton. Another surprise from someone I've never heard of. I'll give "Self Titled" 4 stars.

Amy Winehouse is known for having a tragic backstory. After her death, Amy's music is still listened to a lot. The album's songs are really good. I think "Frank" is greater than "Back to Black". It's way better than I thought. 4 stars from me.

This album was a good change from all the other pop records in the 60s. There's classics like "Norwegian Wood" and "In My Life". All four of the Beatles did a fantastic job. But there's a few generic songs that not a lot of people care about. Overall, "Rubber Soul" is great. I'll give a 4 star rating.

It's nothing special about this album. Too many "skits" before some songs. Beyonce's "Self Titled" album isn't terrible but her brand of R&B doesn't break any new ground. It's an average album with nothing to write home about. Beyonce's done better songs. 2 stars for mostly forgettable tracks.

An unremarkable album by Simple Minds. It's alright when it's used as background music. I'm not into that particular genre. I hope I get a better album next time. "Gold Dream" is OK but I expected more. 2 stars for a boring album.

This album had a rough start but it got better. The second half is what makes "The Genius of Ray Charles" shine. The ballads on that half are great. I'm usually not a fan of big band music but I like it. Ray Charles's voice is nice throughout. I'll give this record 4 stars.

"Dookie" has some good tracks and poor ones. It's probably just me as I didn't feel like listening to it today. But it's also because I find pop-punk a bit outdated. (No offence) It's got a nice sound to it and Billie Jo's voice sometimes works well. The lyrics are typical to the genre. 3 stars for "Dookie".

I thought this album would be cheesy but it's cool. "Midnite Cruiser" is my favourite track. It got a bit boring near the end. My recommendations have started improving again. Now I'm grateful for that. 4 stars for " Can't Buy a Thrill".

Some of the songs sound the same. But others are great hits, especially "Genocide". Dexter Holland singing sounds out of place and he's more suited for metal. The good outweighs the bad in this situation. "Smash" is a mixed album for me. 3 stars for this effort.

"One Hundred Years" and "Pornography" are just awesome. The others are also pretty amazing. Robert Smith is a great singer-songwriter, along with everyone else. I thought The Cure would be one of those overrated 80s bands. This is really modern for 1982. 4 stars for this classic album.

I never liked Jack White at all. His bass "solos" and his voice annoy me a bit. A few songs near the end try hard to sound like the Beatles' "Abbey Road" but fail. I can appreciate Jack writing almost all of the album and there's a few good ideas. This album is a stereotype of indie rock. 2 stars for "Blunderbuss."

"The Chronic" is really good. Snoop Dogg is the best featured artist and this album made him big. Dr Dre's production is superb as per usual. G-Funk was revolutionised when Dre released "The Chronic" in 1992. "Nuthin' but a G Thang" and "Lil' Ghetto Boy" are my favourite tracks. 4 stars for a classic.

Wow, that was an epic experience. This is my second time listening to "Dummy". It's better than the first time. Beth Gibbons' singing and sometimes cryptic lyrics help make the album great. Along with Massive Attack, Portishead are some of the heroes of trip-hop. 5 stars, no less.

In theory, this would have been one of the best electronic albums but it wasn't. The 2 main singles outclass most of "Remedy". "Same Old Show" is absolutely rubbish and shouldn't be played in public. I couldn't stand it and felt twice as long. There are some great songs like "Red Alert". 2 stars for this polarising album.

A good 60s album with strong Beatles influences. I'm glad it hasn't got an electric jug unlike the 13th Floor Elevators. The Byrds are average songwriters akin to Lennon-McCartney. The Bob Dylan cover was nice, despite the fact that I never listened to the original. An essential psychedelic rock record. 3 stars for "Younger Than Yesterday".

This is what a sex, drugs and rock & roll band would sound like during their withdrawal period. I managed to listen to this all the way through. The lyrics are actually good but the delivery isn't. "Junkyard" is a headache inducing insult to post-punk. Just because it's old doesn't mean it's a classic. 1 star for a terrible failure.

This album is quite good. It's better than the last album I reviewed. "Lust to Love" is my favourite off "Beauty and the Beat". The album maintained its quality from start to finish. The Go-Go's were ahead of their time when this came out. 4 stars for this album.

"Man, I'm gonna hate this." I thought when this album was recommended to me. But when I listened to "Big Iron", a song I was familiar with, I knew I was about to listen to a bunch of fine hits. The songwriting on this album is fantastic. It's definitely one of the best 50s albums. Step aside, Sinatra! Marty Robbins gets my approval. 5 stars for this memorable classic.

Another surprisingly good album. "The Boxer" will always be my favourite from Simon and Garfunkel. What a great way to start the 70s. A few songs miss the mark a bit but that doesn't matter. I've still got many albums to review. 5 stars from me.

This album is slightly hard to listen to but also energetic. I can see why some people hate it. I'm one of the people who like this. Most of the album is quite good actually. But it's far from perfect. 4 stars for "Sister".

Half of this album was plain awful. The rest is either dull or slightly interesting. I can appreciate some of the synth parts. Those sound like one of my favourite groups, Boards of Canada. It's just about better than the Birthday Party. 2 stars for this confused album.

It was quite an interesting listen. Janis Joplin sounds like a cross between Marge Simpson and Robert Plant. The songs are quite good to listen to. Adding applause to a studio album isn't a smart move and should be avoided. "Cheap Thrills" is a nice psychedelic album. I'll give it 3 stars.

I forgot to listen to this album on Monday so I'm playing it and the next album on Tuesday. Tuesday Update: I'm now listening to it. The flows in a lot of songs here are very good. Some of the interludes suck though. But that doesn't stop "3 Feet High and Rising" from being great. 4 stars for this interesting listen.

The first thing I'll say about this album is that the production is incredible. There's some really good lyrics to be found. Another gem from this list. The only problem is that it becomes a bit dull near the end. "3Y5M2DITL..." is the second alt hip-hop album I got in a row. 4 stars for a great album.

The first two tracks are amazing. I think The Waterboys are one of the reasons why a genre shift isn't always a terrible idea. Also, it has aged well since the 80s. Unfortunately, the overall greatness isn't always consistent throughout the album. At least "Fishermen's Blues" is better than I expected. 4 stars from me.

Having experience from the Wu-Tang Clan, Ghostface Killah knows how to make a good album. The MF DOOM produced tracks are sublime. "Fishscale" has a lot of classic guest artists like the rest of Wu-Tang. GK's verses are often brilliant. The skits aren't terrible either. 5 stars for this endeavour.

A really amazing electronic album. All 9 tracks are just brilliant. "Enjoy the Silence" is just another level. No 80s cheesiness to be found here. This is the beginning of a new era of awesome music. 5 stars for "Violator".

There's some nice sounding jazz here. Nothing too special to make it stand out other than Smith's electric organ skills. It's not bad in any way but the tracks are indistinguishable from each other. "Back at the Chicken Shack" is one of those albums to listen to in the background. It's worth checking out for any jazz fans. 4 stars from me.

"Cult of Personality" is a fantastic track. The rest of the album is good as well. I like Living Colour's style of hard rock. Like many artists on this list, I've never listened to them. I forgot to play this album on Tuesday so I'm reviewing it on Wednesday. "Vivid" gets a 4 star rating.

It's probably the most average album I've ever listened to. The songs were alright to listen to but it's nothing special. This album is 1001 Albums apocrypha and is no longer listed in the book. Only 1 Arcade Fire record is currently on there. The last song is really good though. 3 stars for "Neon Bible".

This is an absolutely dreadful Missy Elliot exclusive. The Elliot-Timbaland produced tracks are the worst. I survived nearly 1 hour of this rubbish. A few tracks were tolerable like "Pussycat". The first half is definitely irredeemable. I'm afraid I have to give "Under Construction" the rare 1 star.

Now that's more like it. I'm a huge fan of Coldplay and always will be. I wouldn't have had a musical epiphany if it weren't for them. About the album, there's a lot of great songs in it. "The Scientist" is my favourite track of the record. 5 stars for "A Rush of Blood to the Head", a fantastic album.

DJ Shadow is basically Fatboy Slim but better. I love the hip-hop beats that populate the album. The samples are very good. This is another fantastic electronic album. I must be really lucky, considering I had 2 great albums in a row. 5 stars for "Endroducing..."

This is very good for a live album. The crowd is a bit distracting but it's fine. B.B. King does a good job here. "Live at The Regal" is one of the few live albums on this list. The album slows down near the end. I'll give it 4 stars.

Listening to "Junkyard" by the Birthday Party was a bad experience and made me doubt that Nick Cave could make a good album. But his next project with the Bad Seeds made me think otherwise. The songs are brilliantly written and could be poems. Fun fact: Cave actually provides the gunshots on the second track. 4 stars for "Murder Ballads".

It's a rather interesting album. Some of the tracks aren't actually songs. I like the experimentation by The Mothers of Invention. Frank Zappa is also good here. Parts of the album were too weird or boring for me. 3 stars for "We're Only in it for the Money".

This is a good punk album. The first few songs are great. I thought this would be much, much worse. Like with most punk bands, Strummer couldn't sing. I don't hate punk but the last few tracks were underwhelming. 3 stars for "Self Titled."

There's nothing special in this album. I liked the synth parts (I almost always like those). The album itself is quite good. A few songs were forgettable. I hope the rest of the Doors' discography is better than is. I'll give "Morrison Hotel" 3 stars.

I liked this album a lot. The first time I actually listened to ZZ Top. They weren't a cheesy 80s band after all. The first half was brilliant. "Eliminator" is a good introduction to ZZ Top. I'll give it 4 stars.

Yet another great album. I can see why Neil Young has 8 albums on the list. The beginning was a bit dull. The second half was a blast. This album has plenty of hits. 4 stars for "Harvest".

"Tusk" is too long but I completed it. Most of the songs are good. I would've given it a 5 if it was just 10 of the best songs. I believe that "Rumours" is better, judging by "Go Your Own Way". This is the longest album I've reviewed. (I think) 4 stars for "Tusk"

This album is a bit boring. The first few songs were pretty good. I thought "Tusk" was long but "AB/TLoO" is 10 mins longer. I don't consider the album to be awful. Well, I have to wait until Monday for the next album. 3 stars for "AB/TLoO".

What an awesome way to start this week. I really loved "DSotM" since the day I first heard it. Every song is almost perfect. There is a reason why this album is near universally loved. It's 46 years since Pink Floyd made this masterpiece and music was changed forever. I'll give "Dark Side of the Moon" 5 stars.

This heavily reminds me of Portishead's "Dummy". The songs are great, not one miss. My favourite song on "Tidal" is "Carrion". The last few minutes are fantastic. It looks like this week will be a wonderful musical experience. I'll give "Tidal" 5 stars.

Another great album this week. I like the lyricism throughout this record. The production isn't as great as other hip-hop albums. "Beyond Comprehension" is my favourite track. Keep the albums rolling, 1001 Albums. 4 stars for "Step in the Arena".

An average post-punk album with some great bits. "Motorcade" is my favourite track. Some songs are a bit generic. The bonus tracks are boring (They don't count). There's nothing to really write about this album. 3 stars for "Real Life".

It's a really good album. But the tracks are a bit too similar to each other. The title track is my favourite. I guess sometimes you have to put the best one first. This is my best week so far. 4 stars for Let's Get it On".

There's nothing interesting about this album. Some songs were quite boring. I wouldn't call "Rock 'n Soul" bad though. "He'll Have to Go" is my favourite track. The lyrics of that song are quite good. 3 stars for "Rock 'n Soul".

Punk blues must be the worst genre on this site. The last song has a section that sounds like a harsh noise track that no one likes. There's a few good bits scattered on the album. It has the awful kind of experimentation. This week must be a let down compared to the last one. I'll give "Now I Got Worry" 2 stars.

It's better than yesterday's album. The music is a bit bland throughout. But the selling point is Jones' brilliant singing. If the songs were more energetic, the album would've been a classic. I don't have a favourite track on this album. 3 stars for "Come Away With Me".

It's actually decent. I expected it to be constant droning noise. The songs range from good to quite bad. "Kautrock" is the best track. I'm surprised by this curiosity. 3 stars for "Faust IV".

There's some good songs here. The famous singles "Tricky" and "Walk This Way" are alright. The title track is my favourite. I also liked "You Be Illin", a song that's referenced in the top comment. A few songs are a let down though. I'll give "Raising Hell" 3 stars.

I expected a better album. A lot of the songs were quite boring and forgettable. It's a concept album, probably the first, but Pink Floyd's The Wall did it better. There's no highlights here for me, not even "Pinball Wizard". At least it wasn't a total mess. 2 stars for "Tommy".

Another dud this week. Just your average Britpop album you heard 50 times already. The singles are bland and forgettable. The only highlight is "Animal Lover". It was fresh in 1993 but it has since gone off. 2 stars for "Self Titled".

This album seems to be really obscure. There's more notable albums by Elis Regina. I'm not complaining, "Vento de Maio" is a really good record. Another classic gem uncovered today. This is my first album on this list recorded entirely in a foreign language. I'll give it "Vento de Maio" 4 stars.

It's a pretty solid album from one of my favourite rappers. Q-Tip's production is at its finest. The album tracks are on par with the singles which is a good sign. I think the guest stars also did a great job. I'm surprised this album took 5 years to record. 4 stars for "The Renaissance".

I just hear an average 80s album with almost nothing to make it stand out. There's a few good songs like "Everybody Wants to Rule the World". The little details are neat and make me add the "Almost" in my first sentence. But there are many 80s synth pop groups who are better than Tears for Fears. I expected a little better from them. I'll give "Songs From the Big Chair" 3 stars.

This album must've been magical in the 60s. It hasn't lost any of that charm. The songs are brilliant and innovative. Music just wouldn't be the same as it is today if it weren't for Hendrix. It's hard to pick a favourite track. I'll give "Are You Experienced?" 5 stars.

Another great album this week. "Ready Or Not" is years ahead of its time. Lauren Hill definitely steals the show here. "The Score" made her a star. The only complaint I would have is that the outros are a bit annoying. 5 stars for "The Score".

The first thing I'll say is that this album is extremely long (3 hours). I actually like the songs on it. It's a pity that they sound a bit too similar to each other. Fitzgerald is a great singer and the tracks written by the Gershwin Brothers are nice. One piece of advice listening to this record is that you should take a break every 20 songs or so. 3 stars for "EFStGaIGSB".

It wasn't interesting to me. Johnson's voice puts me off this album. The songs were quite good actually. I think the first track was my favourite. At least the record wasn't as long as that Ella Fitzgerald album I reviewed yesterday. I'll give "Back in Black" 3 stars.

I quite like this album. "Roundabout" has been memed to death and a certain section of it feels out of place. The other songs are alright. I don't consider "Fragile" groundbreaking unlike a few albums from this period. It's the only Yes album I've listened to as of now. I'll give "Fragile" 3 stars.

It reminds me of that time when I got this album on cassette last year. Unsurprisingly, it broke after the first listening. Anyway, this album is great with a lot of good songs. "Run to the Hills" is underrated compared to the title track. I've now reviewed over 100 albums on this site. 4 stars for " The Number of the Beast".

I was a bit disappointed. This album was messy most of the time. It does get a bit better near the end. There's nothing here that I'll replay. At least Bush can sing and write good lyrics. 2 stars for "The Dreaming".

I just love Radiohead. This album just strengthens my opinion. It didn't bore me at all. Nearly all of the songs were amazing. I'm probably biased but I don't care. 5 stars for "In Rainbows".

I like this album quite a bit. Even though I've never heard any of Walker's works. There's not much difference between the songs. This week has been mostly mediocre with one great album. (In Rainbows) I'm afraid there's no highlights on today's album. 3 stars for "Scott 4".

An interesting listen to say the least. "Bell Bottom Blues" is my favourite. I also like that Pink Floyd-esque guitar solo in one of the songs. Clapton was good at his job like with many of his projects. However some of the songs were a bit boring. 3 stars for "Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs".

The first half was really good. But it lost its magic in the next half. "Immigrant Song" will always be my favourite off this album. That was my first Led Zeppelin song. The last track was a rubbish conclusion. 4 stars for "Self Titled III"

I absolutely hate Morrissey as a person. But I like this album a bit more. (He's lucky he has a good band backing him) The first track was a good opening and "Seasick, Yet Still Docked" is underrated. Morrissey's vocal range is famously narrow as shown here. The guitar work and composition by Alan Whyte saves this album. I have to give 3 stars to "Your Arsenal" on a musical level.

I knew this album would be great. There's hits like the title track and "Three Little Birds". "Exodus" changed reggae and other genres forever. Marley was brilliant and so were the Wailers. I'm glad the album's here on this list. 5 stars for "Exodus".

This album was fun at the beginning but it got stale later on. The jazz parts aren't good and don't help with my listening experience. I think the vocals are too sparse and overwhelmed by the solos. "Smiling Phases" was alright and the saving grace of the album. The final track "Blues Pt. 2" is like an ELP song that's been bogged down. 2 stars for "Self Titled".

I quite liked this album. Led Zeppelin's most famous track is here. "Stairway to Heaven" is really awesome as well as a few other songs. The second half was average. This is basically "Stairway to Heaven: The Album". 4 stars for "Untitled".

I never really liked "Seven Nation Army". The other songs are seriously underrated. This album gives me Beatles vibes. I especially like the slower tracks. Remember, always give albums a chance, they might be treasures. I'll give 4 stars to "Elephant".

I didn't like this album. It's just ordinary punk without anything new. There were a very few decent tracks. You'll always get a dodgy album after a while. To those looking for this album on YouTube, it's called "In a Doghouse", not "Throwing Muses". 2 stars for "Self Titled".

I've heard many songs from this era that sound exactly the same. This album is no exception. There's nothing wrong with it, I like it. Baker does a good job here. I think this album is decent. 3 stars for "Rapture".

It's been a long time since I reviewed a Bob Dylan album. That was when I first joined this website. I like this album a bit better than the last one by Dylan. Everyone knows that he can write good songs. Wouldn't the album be greater if there weren't any harmonicas in it? 3 stars for "Bringing it Back Home".

"Smells Like Teen Spirit" was one of the only songs I ever heard from Nirvana. It's a bit of a shame that song overshadows Nirvana's other hits. The whole album is brilliant from start to finish. Cobain was a one of a kind musician who gave birth to a musical genre. What a way to finish the week. 5 stars for "Nevermind".

Listening to this album was a breeze. No filler tracks except maybe the intro. Imagine having two 5 star albums (So far) by the same person. That's how good Hendrix was. I hope I have a great week. I'll give "Axis: Power of Love" 5 stars.

Another Jimi Hendrix album today? That means I've listened to most of his discography I'm glad I like Hendrix's music. The songs are great but a couple of them are a bit too long. Doesn't mean that the album was bad at all. 4 stars for "Electric Ladyland".

It's a solid first effort from R.E.M. "Radio Free Europe" was a fun opener. Here, R.E.M begun their journey. A few albums later, they improved their sound. But this album sounds like other albums from its time. 3 stars for "Murmur".

I listened to it today at an earlier time than usual. The vocals are terrible and annoy me to death. At least the proto-grunge riffs are decent. Better yet, the EP is only 22 minutes long. It would get a worse rating if it was longer. 2 stars for "Superfuzz Bigmuff".

It's a decent album I like. "Respect" is alright but not the best song like the Rolling Stone says it is. The other tracks are similar and remind me of "Great Gig in the Sky" but with lyrics. Franklin did a great performance on this album. I can't wait until the next album I'll review. 3 stars for "INLaMtWILY".

"Walking on the Moon" is great. It's a classic that's better than "Message in a Bottle". The other songs are ok to boring. I honestly think the Police are overrated. Sting's voice is annoying sometimes. I'll give "Regatta de Blanc" 2 stars.

The riffs on this album by Dimebag Darrel are awesome. I had to begin my review with that. Pantera's early albums sucked so when "Cowboys From Hell" and this album came out, it was a godsend. I loved nearly all the tracks. But it did get a bit monotonous by the end. 4 stars for "Vulgar Display of Power".

I like a bit of Dire Straits every now and again. Unfortunately, my favourite DS track is not on this album. The songs are good, "Sultans of Swing" is a nice single. Dire Straits would be awful without Knopfler's guitar solos. That's what I think of this album. 3 stars for "Self Titled".

I find the lead singer's voice insufferable. The singles are good, "Use Somebody" is my favourite. "Closer" is a good opener. When the second half of the album comes on, the quality drops significantly. So I have mixed feelings towards this album. 3 stars for "Only By the Night".

It was alright, nothing too thrilling. Dylan's songwriting always outdoes his voice. "Like a Rolling Stone" is on the album. I don't get why it's on the list other than it being by Bob Dylan. Only 4 more albums by him to go... I'll give "Highway 61 Revisited" 3 stars.

I really like Redding's singing here. The songs are a bit bland. The original tracks are the best. Another album I discovered this year. All thanks to this list. 3 stars for "Otis Blue/Otis Redding Sings Soul".

A nice surprise for me. How come I haven't heard of Doves before? "Here It Comes" reminds me of "Glory Box" by Portishead. Some tracks are really good. The main problem with the album is that it gets boring sometimes. 3 stars for "Lost Souls".

An average album by a band I only know from one song. It's better than I expected. The songs vary in quality, some bad and some quite decent. So far, I had an okay week of reviews this time. I want something amazing tomorrow. I'll give 3 stars to "Mott".

I don't know how to feel about this album. This is before Phil Collins became the full time singer for Genesis. He does have a song here. I was a bit bored during my listening session. But I liked the sound of this album. 3 stars for "Selling England By the Pound".

I liked this album quite a bit. Even though I expected more from the Clash. Not saying this album is bad at all. Haven't had a single classic album (in my eyes) this week. I hope next week will be awesome. 3 stars for "London Calling".

I'm a bit ill to enjoy the album fully today. Because of that, I didn't feel like listening. There's some songs I really like. Nothing significant to me here. I wasn't bored halfway through and that's a bonus. 3 stars for "Exile On Main St".

I didn't like this album much. Most of the songs are the same electro-jazz pop drivel. I get that Aguilera can sing but this album is just like her other records. The good news is that the last few tracks are quite good. But it's not enough to satisfy me. I'll give "Back to Basics" 2 stars.

I find it very unoriginal to say the least. One track has one of the Gibb brothers emulating Paul McCartney. This album is nothing like the Bee Gees' later stuff. But it's not absolutely dreadful like a few albums I've heard. Looks like I'll forget this record within a month. 2 stars for "Odessa".

I quite liked this album. A lot of interesting songs to hear. "Safesurfer" has to be my favourite track. But there isn't anything on this album close to that song. I guess it's better than the last two albums I've reviewed. 3 stars for "Peggy Suicide".

I preferred Mavin Gaye's other album I reviewed a while ago. But I still like this one. The first two tracks were great and the others are nice. It's been a fortnight since I gave an album more than 3 stars. So I can't to see what Monday brings. 3 stars for "What's Going On?".

I really enjoyed this album. "Common People" and "Disco 2000" are the best tracks. Probably the best Britpop album that isn't by Oasis. I quite liked the non-singles. It took 2 weeks to review an album that gets more than a 3. 4 stars for "Different Class".

Another great album today. The songs were quite energetic and didn't make me bored. "Psycho Killer", the big single, was good. Byrne isn't much of a singer but that doesn't matter. At least I can hear the lyrics, unlike some other albums of "77"'s type. 4 stars for "Talking Heads: 77".

The hits just keep on coming this week. I loved this album a lot as a Queen fan. This was released before they became an established name in rock. Nearly all of the songs were great. That's all I have to say for now. I'll give "Self Titled II" 5 stars

Another great album from the list. I've heard Ms. Dynamite from a song in 2020. That was when I knew she was good. The first 6 songs were fantastic and others were quite good as well. All these good albums this week are a blessing. 4 stars for "A Little Deeper".

Another really, really fantastic album. "Disintegration" wasn't an overrated record like I thought it was. It turns out that I love goth rock a lot. "Plainsong" and "Homesick" are my favourites. You probably couldn't tell if a track's a single or not, the album's that good. 5 stars for "Disintegration".

At last, I got this album. "Place to Be" is one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard. I first heard it on BBC Radio 6 one morning. It's simply just one hell of a song. Anyway, the other tracks are good as well, just not on "PtB"s level. 4 stars for "Pink Moon".

I like some of Adele's work. My favourite of her's being "Skyfall" but that song isn't on "21". I think "Rolling in the Deep" and "Set Fire to the Rain" are the best tracks. The other songs weren't memorable or interesting. In conclusion, this album is alright but a bit bland. I'll give "21" 3 stars.

Nothing interesting to see here. I get that Fats Domino is considered a legend by many. But this album isn't as good as I expected it to be. And it's also less than 30 mins long. There's better rock n' roll artists out there. 2 stars for "This is Fats Domino".

This album was really nice to listen to. "Suzanne" is the best song. Cohen had a lot of talents, singing and songwriting are two of them. The album could've done with a bit of variety. That, along with being a bit boring, is what prevents this album from being legendary. 4 stars for "songs of Leonard Cohen".

I was pleasantly surprised by this album. But I have to admit the first song was a bit disappointing. The rock-style songs are the best. "Play" also has the song everyone knows: "Porcelain". I believe this album is peak Moby. 4 stars for "Play".

"Garbage" is an ironic name for this album and the band itself. I enjoyed most of the songs to a high degree. "Vow" is probably the best one. (very underrated) All tracks after "Stupid Girl" are dull in comparison to the songs that came before. But that doesn't stop this album from being great. 4 stars for "Self Titled".

I liked this pretty good album. The early use of drum machines is a bonus. "Family Affair" is the best song there. Some of the album tracks were forgettable but not bad. The title track lasts 4 seconds and is silent. 3 stars for "There's a Riot Goin' On".

I had mixed feelings towards this album. The style was quite good and songs were ok. But the tracks get monotonous towards the end. I've never heard of Burning Spear before. Another interesting listening experience. I'll give "Marcus Garvey" 3 stars.

I didn't really like that album. SZA can sing but it's not enough to impress me. The instrumentals were fine as well. The tracks are the type of song that gets radio play every hour. And I don't mean it in a good way. 2 stars for "Ctrl".

I really liked this album a lot. Songhoy Blues' sound is quite unique to me. The songs were some nice blues rock. This was the first time I've ever heard Malian music and I'm glad I did. How this album came to be is an interesting read itself. 4 stars for "Music in Exile".

Another good Bob Marley album. Although not as good as "Exodus". "Talkin' Blues" is the best track here. Nothing special by today's standards. That's all I have to say today. 3 stars for "Natty Dread".

I was a bit disappointed today. Expected some kind of masterpiece. A few songs were annoying to listen to. The album isn't bad though, just not as good I anticipated. I'm now 1 album closer to the end of the list. 3 stars for "New Boots and Panties!!".

Why are the Monkees on this list? They are a poor man's Beatles. The songs on this album are mostly terrible. "Shades of Grey" is the only good song here. I guess this is the worst album I had in a while. 2 stars for "Headquarters".

It feels like I've listened to this album many times already. I was bored to death by the songs. No highlights to be heard anywhere. At least it wasn't horrifically bad. The album was *slightly* better than "Headquarters" by the Monkees. 2 stars for "Pelican West".

I was a bit disappointed by this album. Maybe I wasn't in the mood to listen to "Arthur". That happens to me occasionally. One good thing is that the Kinks weren't trying to imitate the Beatles. This must be the third concept album from 1969 I didn't like. 2 stars for "Arthur".

"Abbey Road" is still awesome after listening to it many times. An absolute blast compared to the last album I reviewed. Almost every minute of it is a masterpiece. "I Want You" and "Come Together" are my favourites. I think "Let It Be" wasn't great so I say "Abbey Road" is the Beatles' true final album. I'll give "Abbey Road" no less than 5 stars.

I got what I expected: a dated pop album. Lost count of how many records from the era sound like "Survivor". I admit that the title track is a good song. A few others are just standard 2000s singles. "Survivor" started Beyonce's career for better or for worse. 2 stars for "Survivor".

Not as bad as I thought. "More Than a Feeling" is still cheesy though. My favourite songs are "Peace of Mind" and Let Me Take You Home Tonight". I can now see why people like this album so much. Until today, I didn't know that the UFOs on the cover were guitar shaped. 3 stars for "Self Titled".

There's one amazing song on this album. It's called "Game of Pricks" and it outshines the other tracks. The songs before it were a bit boring. It did get quite better afterwards but not to the same level as "Game of Pricks". I also loved "Alright" at the end of the album. I'll give "Alien Lanes" 3 stars.

I liked this album a lot. This the 4th album of Pink Floyd's I've listened to. Not as good as "DSotM" though, that one is unbeatable. "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" is incredible and never gets dull. The other songs aren't filler at all. 4 stars for "Wish You Were Here".

I thought Simon's work as one half of Simon & Garfunkel was great. But his solo work is lacking the charm "Bridge Over Troubled Water" had. I liked some of songs at the beginning of "Self Titled". The later songs were ok for the time. Solo albums tend to suck but Simon avoided that. 3 stars for "Self Titled".

Most of the album's songs sounds very similar to each other That isn't exactly a good thing. The album was great to begin with, a better sound that I expected. Alex Turner from the Arctic Monkeys is featured. There's nothing else to say about this album. 3 stars for "The Age of the Understatement".

Another uninteresting album today. XTC did a great song once called "We're Making Plans for Nigel". But that song isn't on "Skylarker". The first 5 songs gave me hope that it's gonna be great. More tracks later, that hope was crushed. I'll give "Skylarker" 3 stars.

Just another run of the mill Britpop album. Of course the music magazines ate it up. One song is The Verve's "Sonnet" with some Oasis mixed in. "H.M.S. Fable" was outdated when it released in 1999. The year when many new, exciting and better albums were made. 2 stars for "H.M.S. Fable".

Another album I really liked. The first few songs were the best. "Tapestry" has aged incredibly well over 53 years. Way better than "H.M.S Fable" by Shack. I reviewed that album a few days ago. 4 stars for "Tapestry".

The title track is an all time classic. But I don't think the rest of the album is though. "Two Out of Three Ain't Bad" is also a nice single. There's a good live intro that's not on the album. Shame it didn't make it on there. 3 stars for "Bat Out of Hell".

One of my favourite lo-fi bands. Not the "Chill Beats to Relax To" kind. This is my second time listening to this album in full. I liked it as much as I did the first time. "Loretta's Scars" is my favourite song on the album. 4 stars for "Slanted and Enchanted".

This album has one of the best opening songs ever. It just blew me away by how good it was for 1957. Better yet, this is a live album. Unfortunately, the other songs don't stand a chance to the aforementioned first track. Vaughan saves those tracks from being garbage. 3 stars for "At Mister Kelly's".

A jazz album that's not too long and doesn't get boring. Made in the same year as many other classics. Some jazz records can be monotonous after a few minutes. But Davis avoided that as there's many instruments on "In a Silent Way". In other words, I liked this album. 4 stars for "In a Silent Way".

Another one of my all time favourites. Every song is great in their own way. A lot of albums since 1967 wanted to be like "Sgt. Pepper". Most of them being failures in comparison. Nobody can beat the Beatles and I can say that with pride. 5 stars for "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band".

Kendrick Lamar got robbed when Macklemore won a Grammy over Kendrick's own album. Even Macklemore himself said "Good Kid, M.A.A.D City" should have won the award. This album is the best 2010s rap album I've ever heard. I just love it so much that I got the hype surrounding it. Hope I get "To Pimp a Butterfly Next". 5 stars for "Good Kid, M.A.A.D City".

A hidden gem that's 50 years old. It didn't deserve the hate it had back then. "No Other" was ahead of its time with its then unique sound. It could've have everywhere on the radio and beyond. However, to me, the album has lost a bit of its sparkle since 1974. 4 stars for "No Other".

I was blindsided when I heard the first song. Usually not a fan of accapela songs. Instruments are one half of a great song most of the time. I got used to it later on in the album. Turned out the album was pretty good. 3 stars for "Shaka Zulu".

There's nothing interesting about this album. I think it's overrated compared to other electronic albums. At least I liked it quite a bit. The synths makes it a more tolerable listen. I just like synths an awful lot. 3 stars for "Emperor Tomato Ketchup".

The weakest of the "Self Titled" quadrilogy. None of the songs had any significant impact on me. I think this album could've done without "Moby Dick". "II" is a good album but not compared to other classics. Tomorrow starts another week of reviewing. I'll give "Self Titled II" 3 stars.

I enjoyed this album quite a bit. It's very similar to Sly's other record on the list. It also happens to be just as good. "Sex Machine" went on for a bit too long. That's all for today. 3 stars for "Stand!".

I was quite disappointed by this album. Never even heard of Big Star. The first song was garbage. A few gems saves this album from being a total disaster. Looks like I’ll be forgetting this album. 2 stars for “Third/Sister Lovers”.

Much better than the last album I had. There's many great songs known and less known. My favourite is "Good Company". The ones sung by Brian May are underrated. Everyone knows "Bohemian Rhapsody", even those without taste. 5 stars for "A Night at the Opera".

Not to be confused with the other Khaled or DJ Khaled. "Kenza"'s Khaled is better than the latter. "Leilli" is the best song on this album. The biggest problem with "Kenza" is that it's too long. It should've had 5 songs less. 3 stars for "Kenza".

The Prodigy's best album in my opinion. That was when they reinvented rave music. Rock and breakbeat are a perfect combination. My favourite song here is "Diesel Power". I can't get enough of this album. 5 stars for "The Fat of the Land".

It’s an alright album. A bit too short for a rock record. I liked Van Halen ‘s guitar work. But I’ve already listened to many albums like this. If I had listened to it earlier, I would’ve enjoyed it more. 3 stars for “Self Titled”.

Another standard rock album. A bit less heavier than I imagined. "Junkhead" is my favourite on "Dirt". Tom Araya sounds a bit too similar to James Hetfield. Other than that, this album is pretty good. 3 stars for "Dirt".

It's actually quite good. "Pharaoh's Dance" is my favourite off "Bitches Brew". The one problem with this album is that it's too long. Jazz albums tend to do my head in if it's over an hour in length. But this album is still cool nevertheless. I'll give "Bitches Brew" 3 stars.

I expected better from New Order. Especially with singles like "Blue Monday" and "True Faith". At least this album sounds good. "Run" and "Vanishing Point" are great in my opinion. Speaking of "True Faith", how come "Substance" didn't make it on the list? 2 stars for "Technique".

This album is alright, a bit dated and cheesy today. It reeks of the simultaneously great and terrible 80s. Unfortunately, this album is closer to the terrible side. "Dirty Diana" was my favourite off "Bad". The few decent tracks don't save this album. 2 stars for "Bad".

Another live album I liked. Sometimes you get terrible live performances. I'm glad this one wasn't one of those. Brown gave his all through this concert. However, the songs could have been better. 3 stars for "James Brown Live at the Apollo"

"Disorder" is one of my favourite songs of all time. That makes this album a hit. "New Dawn Fades" and "Interzone" are good songs as well. It's a shame that the rest of "Unknown Pleasures" wasn't as great as "Disorder". Would've been an all time classic for sure. Looks like I'll have to give "Unknown Pleasures" a 3 star rating.

I was a bit reluctant to review this album as my dog had died today. That meant I wasn't in the mood to listen at all. "Fast Car" is a banger and always will be. Some other songs were great as well. Better than a few other albums I reviewed in the last few days. 4 stars for "Self Titled".

One of the more political albums I've heard. That doesn't make it bad though as it's quite good. I liked the synths that populate "Untitled". The lyrics are a bit repetitive and the spoken word interludes don't contribute much to the album. "Eternal Life" is the best song of the record. 4 stars for "Untitled (Black Is)".

I forgot to write this review, I was an "Amnesiac". I know this album divided fellow reviewers due to its absurdity. But I really liked it as a Radiohead fan. "You and Whose Army and "Pyramid Song" are my favourites. "Two Bears" should've been a B-Side. 4 stars for "Amnesiac"

This is an impressive album, given the circumstances of its recording. Jarrett only had a broken piano during the concert. The tracks were a bit long in my opinion. A few sections were boring. But I'm still pleased by this live album. 3 stars for "The Köln Concert".

It started out strong but fizzled out by the end. "Yes" is amazing and should've been a single. I expected a lot better from this album. It was just monotonous and I couldn't catch the lyrics. Can't wait until my next album on the list. 2 stars for "The Holy Bible".

Actually good for a glam rock album. I expected it to be cheesy. But it's actually quite good. My favourite song from "For Your Pleasure" is "IEDHAH" However, there's better albums out there. 3 stars for "For Your Pleasure".

It's becoming harder for me to write these reviews. I'm running out of ideas of what to write. Anyway, this album isn't as bad as others say. I quite like the hardcore sound. What a shame that this is the only album by Germs. 3 stars for "GI".

I'm reaching 200 albums this week. That's a great achievement. "Sea Change" was a brilliant album. I loved the first half of it. Before listening to this album, the only song by Beck I heard was "Loser". 4 stars for "Sea Change."

A better album than I expected. I thought Parton was overrated. Turns out I was wrong, again. The title track is really good. There's a few other songs I liked. 4 stars for "Coat of Many Colours".

Just an average album to me. It's not as good as the last two albums I reviewed. Some songs were quite good. "Grace" is one of those albums that had no impact on my mind. So I might forget it within a week. 3 stars for "Grace".

It's better than the last Public Enemy album I reviewed. The intro and the song after it were fantastic. I liked the beats in this album and the lyrics too. Soon, I'll be listening to "Fight the Power", the best Public Enemy song. Friday will be the day I'll hear my 200th album. 4 stars for "ITaNoMtHUB"

This is my 200th album. What a big milestone for me. The album itself was alright, not too bad. It reminded me of Coldplay's "Ghost Stories". Looks like I'll be getting more interesting albums from now on. 3 stars for "Seventh Tree".

The last album before Scott's death. After that, AC/DC took a plunge. There's some really good songs on this album. The final track is very underrated. I also liked the title track as well. 4 stars for "Highway to Hell".

I love trip-hop, one of the best electronic subgenres. "Blue Lines" happens to be one of the best in that genre. It's got classics like "Safe From Harm" and "Unfinished Symphony". Don't forget the talents of everyone involved with this album. Hopefully, I'll get "Mezzanine" soon. 5 stars for "Blue Lines".

I didn't like "I Wanna Be Adored" that much. But the rest of the album is pure gold. Many of the songs are cool and timeless. "Waterfall" is best one of the lot. Looks like this week is a good week so far. 4 stars for "Self Titled".

Everyone knows that the solo careers of Simon & (maybe) Garfunkel were underwhelming. This album by Simon proves that. I can understand why people might like it though. "Hearts and Bones" was almost a Simon & Garfunkel album but it wasn't. That was one of music's greatest disappointments. (Thanks, Paul) 2 stars for "Hearts and Bones".

A disappointment compared to other albums by Marvin Gaye. One reason is that "Here, My Dear" is too long. It could've been 45 minutes long and it might've had a better rating. The songs on this album just don't stand out at all. At least they're nice tunes but they're boring. 2 stars for "Here, My Dear".

I was a bit disappointed by this album; it's supposed to be a cult classic. None of the songs compare to "Place to Be" on "Pink Moon". Drake's (not the rapper's) singing is good, as always; "Five Leaves Left" is nice background music. That's one good thing about the album. Meanwhile, I have discovered the band Disorder's music; I recommend it to all hardcore punk fans. 3 stars for "Five Leaves Left".

I'm getting the feeling that I don't enjoy the Talking Heads. Their music is just banal to me. I do admit it's a bit funky sometimes. "The Overload" is the best song; the whole album should've been like that. In other news, I've been discovering new and better music. 2 stars for "Remain In Light".

I hated this album a lot. It shouldn't have been conceived. All songs on this album are on varying levels of bad. I can't believe I had to listen to "SftYSR" last night. This week has been catastrophic. I'll give "Searching for the Young Soul Rebels" a rare 1 star rating.

That's more like it. Unlike the last album I reviewed, it's an album I enjoyed. There are classics like "Bad Moon Rising" on "Green River". This is the album with most of CCR's hits. Even the two bonus tracks are good. 4 stars for "Green River".

I just had a Nick Drake album last week. This album is the best of his. I think the backing band helps a lot. I've now listened to all of Nick Drake's albums. He died after 3 records, what a shame. 4 stars for "Bryter Layter".

It's one of the more controversial albums on this list. I can see why some people hate it. However, I'm one of the fans of this album. Eminem's lyrical ability never disappoints me (apart from one moment after 2004). I also have no doubt that "Kim" is the most disturbing song on the whole 1001 album-long list. 5 stars for "The Marshall Mathers LP".

"Bring Da Ruckus" has to be the best opening track in 90s rap. The production is always brilliant, as it's Wu-Tang. I also really like RZA's verses, which are probably my favourite parts. The super-long interludes prevent "36 Chambers" from being a complete classic. But there aren't too many of those. 4 stars for "Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)"

I listened to this album on Christmas Eve. It was alright by Morrissey standards. The songs were just average late 80s tunes. I honestly think that there are too many Morrissey albums on this list. Two Smiths albums and maybe one of his solo albums is enough. 2 stars for "Viva Hate".

Just a bunch of Christmas songs. I listened to it on Christmas Day. This album wasn't one of the highlights of that day. This record is only on this list because it featured the pioneering "wall of sound" technique. Otherwise, it would just be an album with songs played on the radio every December. 2 stars for "A Christmas Gift For You From Phil Spector".

It's a really good album I liked. A nice Boxing Day surprise. The skits aren't obnoxious, unlike a few rap albums. I liked every song on the album. This album is proof that East Coast rap outshines the West Coast by a mile. 4 stars for "The Sun Rises in the East".

I love this album a lot; I only listened to it once. "Svefn-g-Engler" is magical beyond most other songs. It's unbelievable that it was made in 1999. The other tracks have a similar feel. I don't know a single word of Icelandic, but it was still mesmerising. 4 stars for "Ágætis Byrjun".

I didn't expect this album to be that good. It's an improvement to the last Kinks album I reviewed. The title track, in particular, is great. All of the songs are well-written. I'm getting some really cool albums this time. 4 stars for "The Kinks Are The Village Green Preservation Society".

It wasn't the My Bloody Valentine-style album I was expecting. "Nowhere" was just a bunch of average rock songs. I theoretically could've loved this album. Somehow, I didn't enjoy "Nowhere" too much. The sound was still good though 3 stars for "Nowhere".

Madonna must've heard "Dummy" by Portishead. This album proves this assumption. But it's nowhere near as fantastic as "Dummy". "Substitute for Love" is my favourite song off "Ray of Light" After that, it slowly becomes a boring listen. 3 stars for "Ray of Light".

Most of the songs were bad. I thought Paul Weller was better than this. Why did I think "Wild Wood" would be a good album? Looks like I'll be forgetting this album. "Sunflower" is actually quite good though. 2 stars for "Wild Wood".

It wasn't as good as the last album by CCR I reviewed. There were no original tracks I could recognise. The songs were better than Paul Weller's "Wild Woods". "Cosmo's Factory" is a brilliant title for an album. It's nearly been a year since I started reviewing albums. 3 stars for "Cosmo's Factory".

At least I got a good album today. The songs were all great, no duds. Not good enough for a 5 star rating, but still awesome. It's a shame that "In Utero" is Nirvana's last album. I'm still yet to listen to "Bleach". 4 stars for "In Utero".

This album contains my favourite kind of rap. The kind with good flows and beats. Better yet, no skits at all. I wish I understood French; it would've made the album even better. The only dud on "Tempo" is "Ragga Jam," which shouldn't have been on the album. 4 stars for "Qui Sème le Vent Récolte le Tempo".

Why did it have to be Kid Rock? That guy's a complete jerk. This album isn't much better; it's just Limp Bizkit but worse. There are 2 good songs: "Only God Knows Why" (slightly ruined by autotune) and "Black Girl, White Guy" (tells an actual story)". I also liked Eminem's guest appearance. 2 stars for "Devil Without a Cause".

This was a very painful album to listen to. Now I've got a headache; the cringy album cover isn't helping. Remember Daft Punk's "Homework", an album with long and repetitive songs? Well, "Darkdancer" is that, but without the good, funky beats (and shorter). There was a glimmer of decent music by the end. 1 star for "Darkdancer".

This was the beginning of punk. Many good albums have been since then. "Self-Titled" has two notable songs: "Blitzkrieg Bop" and one I have been looking for a long time. I'm glad I found the latter. "I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend" is the song of this album. 3 stars for "Self Titled"

It wasn't as dreamy as I expected. There weren't many shoegaze elements in it. The songs on "Heaven or Las Vegas" are average. I do love "Cherry-Coloured Funk" though. The album's title is also fantastic. 3 stars for "Heaven or Las Vegas".

This album was alright and was pretty good for its time. "California Dreamin'" is a classic as always. There's not a lot to the Mamas & the Papas other than "IYCBYE&E". Half of the songs were just generic '60s stuff. Next album please... 3 stars for "IYCBYE&E".

It's not as good as "Blue". "Court and Spark" is a bit too mellow for me. There are some good songs on that album. "Raised On Robbery" is my favourite on "Court and Spark". I've also been getting into more experimental music recently. 3 stars for "Court and Spark".

What a stunning debut! I rarely use exclamation marks in my reviews. The first track is a classic. It is such a shame that "Only by the Night" wasn't as good as "Youth and Young Manhood". The latter album has a great hidden track at the end, a very rare phenomenon. 4 stars for "Youth and Young Manhood".

It's another good album this week. I liked it even more on the second listen. Every song is alright at its worst and amazing at its best. "Surfer Rosa" was beyond its time. Remember, there's more to the Pixies than just "Where is My Mind?" 4 stars for "Surfer Rosa".

It's not a masterpiece, but it's alright; better than most of Bowie's earlier input. By masterpiece, I mean "DSotM" levels of greatness. "Hunky Dory" has "Life On Mars" and other classics on the A-side. The B-side is disappointing in comparison. By the way, I preferred "ZSatSFM". 3 stars for "Hunky Dory".
