Manassas by Stephen Stills

too long and idgaf but some nice songs

#1 Record by Big Star

im losing tolerance for this type of album.. 3rd in a row. not into a man whining over the same riff for 40 mins.

1-Star Albums (6)

All Ratings (137)

Can't Buy A Thrill by Steely Dan
Mar 12 2024

enjoyable, relaxing, a little boring/repetitive... fades into the background a little too easily

Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath
Mar 13 2024

it was so OK. kind of nothing.

Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs by Derek & The Dominos
Mar 14 2024

pleasant and easy listening... a little TOO easy maybe, it was enjoyable but got boring as it went on. something i would not say is meant to be listened to as an album in one go.

At Mister Kelly's by Sarah Vaughan
Mar 15 2024

one of the best of all time what else is there to say!

Stand! by Sly & The Family Stone
Mar 16 2024

i liked it :)

Paranoid by Black Sabbath
Mar 17 2024

this is sooo boring i hope the frequency at which im getting black sabbath is not representative of the amount of black sabbath actually in this catalogue . not any worse than the first one i listened to but i think i have less patience for it now so it gets less stars.

Dire Straits by Dire Straits
Mar 19 2024

my dad's been trying to get me to listen to dire straits for so long and i wasn't against it i just never actually did it.. well i should have!

You're Living All Over Me by Dinosaur Jr.
Mar 20 2024

not my utter fave dinosaur jr album to be honest but i do think it's fun. a lot of good intros that turn into songs that sound the same by the end and it would be 3 stars if not for poledo.

The Genius Of Ray Charles by Ray Charles
Mar 21 2024

think it might be illegal to dislike this it makes me smile just to hear

Dr. Octagonecologyst by Dr. Octagon
Mar 22 2024

sounds cool until you accidentally hear the words he's saying

Imagine by John Lennon
Mar 23 2024

who even cares

Group Sex by Circle Jerks
Mar 24 2024

it's immature and stupid but i like that and i like the circle jerks. it's fast and fun what more do u want.

The Fat Of The Land by The Prodigy
Mar 25 2024

not really my thing to sit and listen to this kind of music but if i heard this out at a club i'd be having a blast. every song sounds distinct and it's fun even tho im not in the mood.

The Score by Fugees
Mar 26 2024

could have cried and nearly did

Damaged by Black Flag
Mar 28 2024

couple good songs and i lik black flag but shockingly boring for an album only 35 minutes long

The Atomic Mr Basie by Count Basie & His Orchestra
Mar 29 2024

this was a very good album to listen to while sitting in the garden reading. jaunty.

Get Behind Me Satan by The White Stripes
Mar 30 2024

some interesting musical ideas but mostly it was so stupid and the lyrics were stupid and singing was not my style and i wanted to skip the last minute of every song

Van Halen by Van Halen
Mar 31 2024

whatever. good but not notable. well that's van halen.

Go Girl Crazy by The Dictators
Apr 01 2024

another case where it might have a star higher if i hadn't heard the lyrics. very generic rock whatever.

Five Leaves Left by Nick Drake
Apr 02 2024

chill and peaceful and luckily i liked it enough that the lack of variety was fine.

The Queen Is Dead by The Smiths
Apr 03 2024

first album i feel like i have trouble rating not because i love it so particularly much in fact ive never listened to it in full before but because i have so many emotional associations with the songs i HAVE heard it's hard to tell if i love them or hate them. 4 stars really but for the sake of myself age 17 i'll say 5.

Rage Against The Machine by Rage Against The Machine
Apr 05 2024

boring & weirdly embarrassing to listen to but fun at times

Hot Buttered Soul by Isaac Hayes
Apr 06 2024

i really like the first song the rest were alright. sooo long.

Third by Soft Machine
Apr 07 2024

i will be real i really liked this

Pornography by The Cure
Apr 08 2024

not my fav cure but it's good

Suzanne Vega by Suzanne Vega
Apr 10 2024

did not expect how much i'd love this

Apr 11 2024

i cannot take this accent seriously and i can't tell if the weird phrasing/flow is purposely bad or just regular bad. and all the lyrics suck!

Nixon by Lambchop
Apr 12 2024

boring but pleasant. very long songs but some nice moments... it feels good to listen to.

Grace by Jeff Buckley
Apr 13 2024

it's so good & the lilac wine cover knocks me straight out.

The Pleasure Principle by Gary Numan
Apr 14 2024

good but i got a bit bored sorry. but first song alone bumps this up a point.

Peter Gabriel 3 by Peter Gabriel
Apr 15 2024

i couldnt listen to this for so long but i loved it once i finaly did

Stankonia by OutKast
Apr 16 2024

literally jaunty

Nothing's Shocking by Jane's Addiction
Apr 17 2024

started strong but i was thinking "whatttt a dragggg" only 5 songs into this 45 min album and it was downhill from there.

Apr 19 2024

unbelievably boring and absolutely not noteworthy. did this have literally any impact when it released i doubt it.

Cheap Thrills by Big Brother & The Holding Company
Apr 20 2024

solid whatever.

More Specials by The Specials
Apr 22 2024

had no idea what this was going in but but im honestly just having so much fun

KIWANUKA by Michael Kiwanuka
Apr 23 2024

felt like i was taken away somewhere beautiful for an hour

Blood On The Tracks by Bob Dylan
Apr 24 2024

kinda disappointed by how much i disliked this. it was very boring, some songs were just too long, and i got sick of how he sings. lyrics are good though.

Sincere by Mj Cole
Apr 26 2024

this was less than nothing emotionally lyrically sonically. and 3x longer than it should have been.

Calenture by The Triffids
Apr 29 2024

unbearably dull. even the good songs were boring and the tracklist was soooo long. 17 songs and most of them have the audacity to be over 4 minutes? but not bad.

Let's Get It On by Marvin Gaye
Apr 30 2024

extremely pleasant listen but every song is identical. short & sweet so thats OK with me.

Actually by Pet Shop Boys
May 01 2024

idk what to say i liked it it felt very big. also for the record i meant to give the last album (marvin gaye) 4 stars not 3 oops.

16 Lovers Lane by The Go-Betweens
May 02 2024

extremely average, i liked some songs, most were pretty boring, generic sound

I Am a Bird Now by Antony and the Johnsons
May 03 2024

i liked the first song, it was cool, the harmonies gave me chills at the end. but the rest was just... alright. very samey, and none of it is really my thing.

Kind Of Blue by Miles Davis
May 04 2024

not much to say i liked it :-)

Be by Common
May 05 2024

this was so groovy. am i allowed to say that word in 2024?

Ocean Rain by Echo And The Bunnymen
May 06 2024

im getting tired of every other album on this list sounding the same even if it's decent.

Songs For Swingin' Lovers! by Frank Sinatra
May 07 2024

of course i love frank sinatra he sounds smooth and lovely but it is a lot of the same.

Alien Lanes by Guided By Voices
May 08 2024

i'm pretty sure i've listened to this in full before but i can't remember because most of the songs kind of slide off your back like water off a duck. the ones that stick are some of my all time favs though.

Coat Of Many Colors by Dolly Parton
May 10 2024

these felt like a bunch of songs written for a very different type of woman than me. just not my thing but enjoyable enough.

All Things Must Pass by George Harrison
May 11 2024

some decent songs on here but hardly worth it for the 1.5 hrs slog of the original release.

1984 by Van Halen
May 12 2024

stupid lyrics and the sound got old. some interesting synth stuff i guess.

Djam Leelii by Baaba Maal
May 13 2024

pleased with something different on this list. i was slightly falling asleep for it but the vocal stye reminded me of indian classical singing which was nostalgic. i loved the xylophones and instrumental arrangements overall.

Unknown Pleasures by Joy Division
May 14 2024

i wish i had liked it more. the mixing on the vocals bothered me and it dragged a bit. a shame! i knew some songs off it already and it turned out those were the best ones, didn't get anything new out of finally listening to the full album imo, but it was still fun.

Pieces Of The Sky by Emmylou Harris
May 15 2024

i think if i had been a little more tortured today this would have made me cry

Microshift by Hookworms
May 16 2024

it was all very good and washed over me and flowed pleasantly but i can't lie by the halfway mark i was itching for some variety in the sounds i was hearing & it became very hard to not skip the 2nd half of every song

Cross by Justice
May 17 2024

it honestly hit me so hard at the start. the only thing that was genuinely bad in this was the song "the party" rest was either incredible or good. and that's saying something considering i was listening to it sitting alone in bed and not at a club.

Brothers by The Black Keys
May 18 2024

this is a 55 minute album made up of 15 songs that sound the same, have the same lyrics, and are all equally boring. lyrics are very dull and the album is 3x longer than it should be.

Low-Life by New Order
May 19 2024

im a casual new order enjoyer, seeing them last fall was fun, but ive never listened to this album in full. it started slow (except for perfect first kiss) and i was not that into it but after elegia it picked up. doubt i'll revisit the full album.

Haunted Dancehall by The Sabres Of Paradise
May 20 2024

i do enjoy the music itself but this album is twice as long as it needs to be. a lot of the songs are the exact same start to finish and have the audacity to be 8 minutes long despite that.

21 by Adele
May 21 2024

adele has one song and one vocal and musical style. she does it well, but a full album of the same song can get tiring.

quite repetitive even if the songs were fun, both musically and lyrically. also one has to wonder, does this woman LIKE any of the men she's been with? dont know if it's an album i had to hear before i die.

The Köln Concert by Keith Jarrett
May 23 2024

it's good but it often failed to capture my attention

Either Or by Elliott Smith
May 24 2024

the first track was so diappointing i was like. is this what all the hype's been about?? and then it hit me.

Beggars Banquet by The Rolling Stones
May 25 2024

idkkk i liked some songs but i found it weirdly annoying

The Colour Of Spring by Talk Talk
May 26 2024

fun and interesting even though i wasnt listening too closely, made me want to listen again with more attention

May 28 2024

some all-time amazing songs brought down by too many additional songs that sound very similar, add little, and go on for 5 minutes.

School's Out by Alice Cooper
May 29 2024

first note. i mistakenly gave yesterday's album a 4 instead of a 3 i wish you could edit those so bad.

Raw Power by The Stooges
May 30 2024

i can't be objective about this album i already love it so much

Ill Communication by Beastie Boys
May 31 2024

idk how to rate this. i liked how many genres there were how many sounds they tried out it was conceptually so sound but i think on a deeper level i just do not gaf about the beastie boys.

Brilliant Corners by Thelonious Monk
Jun 01 2024

i liked it all but the best were pannonica bemsha swing. nothing else really stood out to me, although it was all pleasant listening.

Blackstar by David Bowie
Jun 02 2024

cannot even tell if i enjoyed this or not i felt like i was in a vacuum tube.

Green by R.E.M.
Jun 03 2024

first song i was like ok it'll be some alt rock thing thats alright but not great. and then it was terrible.

Melody A.M. by Röyksopp
Jun 05 2024

it felt like waiting room music i cannot understand why it's on this list. utterly inoffensive.

Time Out by The Dave Brubeck Quartet
Jun 06 2024

love :-)

Led Zeppelin III by Led Zeppelin
Jun 07 2024

i liked it but i also got tired of it .

Foo Fighters by Foo Fighters
Jun 08 2024

rock music 👍🏽

The Specials by The Specials
Jun 09 2024

the first few songs were so good that i think the rest felt disappointing even though it was also very fun

Moondance by Van Morrison
Jun 10 2024

booooring and also something about his accent made me feel weird. whats going on there.

Doggystyle by Snoop Dogg
Jun 11 2024

idk what to say to this one it was like enjoyable to listen to but very samey & some of the lyricsmade me double take

Jun 12 2024

theres a burst of fun at the start of each song but then the song doesn't evolve at all and stays very repetitive.. every track is like this.. but it's pleasant.

Manassas by Stephen Stills
Jun 13 2024

too long and idgaf but some nice songs

For Your Pleasure by Roxy Music
Jun 14 2024

i liked some of the songs but the ones that werent good were soooo annoying. but still.

In A Silent Way by Miles Davis
Jun 15 2024

both pieces were good but the start of the second rocked my world

Elvis Is Back by Elvis Presley
Jun 16 2024

short & sweet but a little too low energy, repetitive in feeling despite its length

D by White Denim
Jun 17 2024

we are so back. this was a joy to listen to!

Getz/Gilberto by Stan Getz
Jun 18 2024

pleasant and fun though the middle blends together a bit i think a second listening would fix that

Maggot Brain by Funkadelic
Jun 19 2024

it was good but it kind of freaked me out

Hot Rats by Frank Zappa
Jun 20 2024

listened while playing sudoku (intensely) and not much stuck with me. it was all fun but just not riveting for me.

The Holy Bible by Manic Street Preachers
Jun 21 2024

started strong but by the back half i was like wow a bunch of these just sounds like a more boring version of pixies (ex.: faster). still liked it though.

Licensed To Ill by Beastie Boys
Jun 22 2024

it's all OK fun but i just cannot take the beastie boys seriously like ever.....

Jun 23 2024

i liked the first song a fair bit but i think every song got progressively more boring. and the poor little beggar girl felt like some kind of a joke. mostly it was alright and just not my vibe.

Spiderland by Slint
Jun 24 2024

ive loved this album for a long time. for two very silly reasons i have a huge attachment to it although i don't actually listen to it much or love every song that much. besides that, don aman always reminds me of the kafka short story description of a struggle. (also call me crazy but i always liked tweez more.)

Africa Brasil by Jorge Ben Jor
Jun 25 2024

jiving in the library to be utterly honest

Tracy Chapman by Tracy Chapman
Jun 26 2024

a low key album but quite lovely.. some songs to return to although not really my thing generally speaking

The White Room by The KLF
Jun 27 2024

nice moments but overall boring and at times felt like i was in a commercial for Something.

You Are The Quarry by Morrissey
Jun 28 2024

this album is painfully bad. there are two good songs but the rest are a genuine chore to get through.. this is one of those albums that absolutely would not have made the list if it was made by someone less famous

Jul 03 2024

started kind of boring but the middle was very enjoyable. not the most unique music but it fits its niche very well.

Back to Mystery City by Hanoi Rocks
Jul 04 2024

generic rock n roll.. and every song sounds the same.. not bad but why is it on here? this list makes me wonder if most music is actually bad, which is why mediocre average things make in on here. but no, i've listened to plenty of good albums not on this list. so what's the excuse?

#1 Record by Big Star
Jul 05 2024

im losing tolerance for this type of album.. 3rd in a row. not into a man whining over the same riff for 40 mins.

Debut by Björk
Jul 06 2024

venus as a boy makes me really sad for reasons i hate to get into but this album is good regardless.. frst time i heard it years ago i didnt really appreciate it but now i get it.. that being said, i don't think every song carries its weight.

Beach Samba by Astrud Gilberto
Jul 07 2024

i really liked it at first but despite being so short it gets repetitive very fast. still it's all pleasant and i think it is intended to be somewhat easy listening so i can't really fault it too much for that.

Lady Soul by Aretha Franklin
Jul 09 2024

it was nice idk sorry i did not feel overly passionate

The Rise & Fall by Madness
Jul 11 2024

started off funky and nice and for the first 3/4 songs it was nice then it got boring and by new delhi it was Bad.

Liquid Swords by GZA
Jul 12 2024

I really liked this although some of the songs were a bit boring, it had a lot of variation and cool effects.

Mothership Connection by Parliament
Jul 13 2024

maybe it's because i listened back to back with the last album but this was a bit of a nothingburger

Make Yourself by Incubus
Jul 14 2024

perfectly alright, i liked the quiet moments, like the start of stellar.

Now I Got Worry by The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion
Jul 15 2024

just not good. at all. while every song is short they still don't end fast enough, and there are unfortunately 16 of them.

That's The Way Of The World by Earth, Wind & Fire
Jul 16 2024

some amazing songs and some that are just good, this would have been a 4 but i really did not like reasons

Back to Basics by Christina Aguilera
Jul 17 2024

around 3 good songs but they absolutely do not outweigh the fact that most were just alright or straight up bad (like understand.. what was that). a lot of the songs had this big release without ever earning it with a build-up. and this album is about half an hour too long.

Jul 18 2024

i didn't start off with high hopes but this had some really beautiful sections. to be honest it would have been better if the singing was reduced to like 10% of what it is now.

Jul 19 2024

wanted to like this and it's not even like bad in any way it just took me several sessions and retries to get through because it is SO dull. sorry pink floyd.

Paul Simon by Paul Simon
Jul 20 2024

liked it. short and nice. but nothing super standout, aside from maybe paranoia blues.

Horses by Patti Smith
Jul 21 2024

i don't fully get it but i'm open to listening again. it was a nice experience!

Jul 23 2024

the first song was easily the worst and put me off a bit, but the rest was very pleasant. nothing super standout but i can see myself returning for the relaxed vibe. great for a train ride.

New Wave by The Auteurs
Jul 24 2024

generic forgettable whiny 90s brit rock. first song was the only memorable one, but still not particularly good. i could die happy if this website never assigned me another one of these again, alas, i know better.

It's A Shame About Ray by The Lemonheads
Jul 25 2024

some good songs, most not memorable but not offensive either. and drug buddy has been a very meaningful song for me for a long time. i enjoyed this listen but it was not actually particularly good.

Surfer Rosa by Pixies
Jul 26 2024

where would i be without it

Hard Again by Muddy Waters
Jul 27 2024

blues.. been a while

The Beach Boys Today! by The Beach Boys
Jul 28 2024

beach boys songs always feel like they should be in a nice coming of age feel-good movie but i cannot honestly appreciate this too much as music in itself. but. it is fun.

Broken English by Marianne Faithfull
Jul 31 2024

the lyrics were the most interesting aspect, i think this was well writetn. the music was not hugely speaking to me, though i could see myself really loving this in a different mood. a bit too repetitive and low energy for the me of right now; i was living for the bright instrumental moments that popped through. final track brought this from a 3 to a 4.

Rattlesnakes by Lloyd Cole And The Commotions
Aug 01 2024

listened to easy pieces a couple months ago and i have more or less that same opinion here. decent songs, but a boringgg album. i got very tired of the vocal style and it's just not very dynamic and every song is a little too similar. at a certain point you resent that youre listening to it.

Dry by PJ Harvey
Dec 20 2024

i listen to this every day and i love it beyond belief what can i say. seeing pj harvey live changed my life.
