I know Bjork gets hyped up by music fans but this ain’t it.

Some Ibiza-type club music after a lot of rock and blues. There was some variation in the songs but overall it felt a bit long.

3 Excellent road trip tune as an opening. Stereotypical rock music with not much experimentation. Tame guitar solo on second tune with the same rock and roadtrip sound. Same sound, solo starts off strong but tapers down. General note is that the lyrics are incomprehensible. Now the guitar shines! With a more ballad-like sound and slower rythm. Smooth track. More roadtrip vibes with fuzzy lyrics. Not that it matters because they sound great. Now experimentation starts with a rythmic synth throughout this more 80s track! First song were lyrics are understandable is about a tv dinner. Synth rythm with great guitar is back. Bad girl has great vocals!

Little Child Runnin' Wild has an exciting ensemble of instrumentals that feel underused. The strings, trumpet and sax show a lot of promise and are not fully developed (yet?). Pusherman dials these instrumentals further back but adds a very fun drum line. Freddie's Dead comes back stronger but as with all tracks on this record it feels like something, like a solo, is missing. Junkie Chase has amazing instrumentals but is not fully developed as a full song. Give Me Your Love is a nice enough song that sounds like background music (which it is for a movie?). The next songs are nothing special until one of the hits on the album "Superfly". This song is lacking something extra as well but is probably the strongest track on this record. The entire project feels like it was held back by being used for a movie. 3/5

Mojo Pin is a beautifull crescendo of a song. A perfect album starter. Grace is an even more powerfull crescendo with screams like Led Zeppelin. Last Goodbye is quieter song. Almost an album filler. Lilac Wine is even quieter, but is a very nice ballad-like track. So Real is a double crescendo with a mid-song guitar sound I wish was expanded on. Hallelujah is a beautifull cover of the popular song. Love, You Should Come Over is the strongest track on this record, weaving a beautifull soundscape of a song. On Corpus Christi Carol Jeff shows excellent control of his falsetto voice on this dreamy lullaby. In contrast to the previous track, Eternal Life starts off with howling guitars that made me check if the album had already ended and Spotify started playing random stuff. A nice wake-me-up of a rock song. Dream Brother has oriental inspired guitar sounds that remind me of 60s psych rock (what’s in a name?). Forget Her is what now feels like a typical Jeff Buckley song. A strong ending to the album. 4/5

Re-Hash shows signs of the sonic identity of Gorillaz whereas not fully developed. Lyrics are weak too. 5/4 experiments with time signatures in a very interesting way but is vocally weak as well. Tomorrow Comes Today is the first strong tune on this record. New Genius (Brother) is weak. Clint Eastwood is their biggest hit by far on this album and it combines the Gorillaz sound very nicely with rap. It's easy to see why the Gorillaz-style with decent lyricism becomes a hit. Man Research has nice instrumentals ruined by the ya-ya-ya. On Punk they do a punk song very well but infuse it with Gorillaz-elements. Sound Check (Gravity) is sonically very good but with weak lyrics. Double Bass has nice bass. Rock the House again shows the versatility of Gorillaz and how they are comfortable in many styles. 19-2000 is very fun, bubbly (literally) track. Latin Simone (Que Pasa Contigo) is a good track. Starshine manages to weave a spacey-soundscape. Slow Country is good. The instrumentals are as good as any on this album but this track is lyrically stronger. M1 A1 is a strong end to the album. Very strong debut album, shows amazing versatility but some filler songs. 4/5

Rought start to the record that gasn’t held up at all. First decently aged song is Bowtie, with that fun Outkast style. The Way You Move sounds like a 2000s club banger of a club I’d stay far away from. I wish they developed the hushed rap further. Love the maximalist beat on The Rooster. Outkast got on the Rock-Rap train with Bust. I’m not a fan of the genre but this was executed well. War is an amazing song with amazing lyricism. Best song so far, sadly still relevant. Church is an okay song. Gospel addition is good. Tomb of the Boom is very 2000s as well but is not a bad track. Knowing has a dark, gangster beat with good lyricism. Flip Flop Rock has very good Andre 3K lyrics that outshine Jay-Z on this track. Reset is a smooth song with good rap over it. It just is not my style of song. Last Call has Lil Jon screaming all over the 200s beat. Not the best song. Second half of the album has aged better. Love Hater is okay. Happy Valentines Day lacks rap. Spread features better rap and is a better song overall. Interludes are mega cringe. Prototype sounds like music to a porn movie. She Live in my Lap is also not the best. Heya and Roses are so good they give the whole album +1. Literally. Back to mid songs with Behold a Lady. Pink & Blue manages to weave a very pleasing soundscape. Love In War is a decent song as well. She’s Alive is a slower, mellow song, with a weak falsetto. Dracula’s Wedding has a fun and funky beat with good rap in a theme. My Favourite Things speeds up and adds nice drums to the famous song. Very jazzy, amazing song. Take Off Your Cool is an amazing song. I’m loving the experimentation they are doing. Vibrate is a very strong song as well. Albums ends strongly with A Life In The Day Of Benjamin Andre. Not a bad album, first half has aged poorly. Not Oukasts strongest record but some absolute pelters save it. Second half is definitely stronger. 4/5

Them Bones is a bit droning. Dam That River has the same problem. Droooning Lyyyriiiics. Rain When I Die is the worst culpris (so far?), especially the ending. Down In A Hole combines this horrible sound with slower emo music. Sickman is the same. I am the sickman sick of this. On Rooster even the guitar is infected with lethargy. Angry Chair has a mini guitar solo that is not developed. Finally it is over. I understand that they are decent musicians but this is not my thing. No epic guitars make up for this horrible “singing”. Terrible lyricism. 1/5

Strong opening song in Runnin’ With The Devil. Excellent instrumentals with a nice chorus. Followed by an absolutely mint solo. You Really Got Me is just an amazing track. Ain’t Talking Bout Love is also really strong. I'm the One is a bit weaker in the vocals. Sounds slightly messy. Slightly slower song in Jamie's Cryin'. Still quite good. Atomic Punk still has amazing instrumentals. Feel Your Love Tonight has the same problem as some of these songs on the second half. Somewhat weaker vocally. Little Dreamer is slower again and features a very good guitar riff. Good track. Real pallet cleanser with Ice Cream Man. Unexpectedly fun song! On Fire is on fire! 4/5

Not a fan of the vocal performance on Mother. Hold On is better and has fun instrumentals. Not the best track either. I Found Out is okay. Working Class Hero is an excellent track. Remember is quite fun. Love is unremarkable. Well Well Well is ruined by Yoko Ono-esque screaming. Ending of the album is mid as is the rest. 3/5

Excellent vocal performance by Christina and it is an easy listen. Not hard to understand why this style was so popular at the time even though it is not my thing. 3/5

Amazing and influential album with excellent musicians tearing up their solo’s. Very fun! A few tracks are duds though, holding this album back at times. 4/5

Influential, experimental and yet angelic. Absolute gem, 5/5.

Very experimental, at times brilliant and at times hard to listen to. Touches of jazz, blues, even Stravinsky. 3/5

The high is high (Every Breath You Take) and the lows are very low (Mother, Miss Gradenko, Tea In The Sahara). One huge hit does not carry this album. 2/5

Experimentak, excellent album. Jazz, blue, rock and even some hits!

Dreamy, lovely, excellent music and filled with hits. What more do you want?

One of the albums I give 5 stars before listening to (again).

I never listened to a lot of Black Sabbath, but this was an amazing experience. Listened to it multiple times and enjoyed it a lot. The album also had huge influence on the metal scene. 5/5

Music is okay, songs are same-y. This album came out in the same year as Sgt. Pepper, so it isn’t very experimental either.

Not my thing

The project developed some good songs under Zappa’s guidance. Very strong record that also does not take itself serious. 4/5

Only bangers on this experimental record. Smooth music with choirs, strings, the whole orchestra is here for it! 5/5

A-side is the studio side, so I am reviewing that. The tracks on this record sound very same-y. Some of them are quite fun, but I feel like this band is a better live experience. Record feels lacking.

A very interesting listening experience that is presented as one single sound with variations. Kate Bush's haunting voice beams over this record as it starts with one of her biggest hits; "Running Up That Hill". This album should definitely be included and is very good, but not in my personal top ~100. Therefore 4/5.

Sub-par album with cringeworthy lyrics. 1/5

461 Ocean Boulevard by Eric Clapton features everything you'd expect from a Clapton record. I Shot The Sheriff became a hit but this is a cover. I feel that, considering Clapton is one of the best guitar players ever, this album is a bit lacking in that regard. The songs are fun and are a real american road trip vibe, but the album is not the most experimental or guitar-heavy. 3/5

Tribe has one of those sounds that makes it hard to stand still. Overall an excellent and funky album.

Experimental, political, filled with bangers from back to front and, to me personally, nostalgic. 5/5

Pretty forgettable, elevator music.

Very good album overall. Sympathy is SUCH an amazing start to an album. Experimental instrumentation really shines!

Having to restart an album multiple times during the day is a bad sign. The beginning of the album sounds like elevator music or being on hold with your health insurance. The ending (last two songs) are stronger but jeez, before you even get there… 1/5

Easy listen, mellow sound but also not that special.

Excellent album with a huge influence. Very varied instrumentals that create an interesting sound. If only the band could have developed further.

Excellent album.

Although this album was a big success for the band, it sounds lacking. A mediocre vocal performance by the lead singer and instrumentals that are not creative. The band surfed the wave of grunge and punk and only took from the genre, not adding to it. Besides this the album is an alright listening experience. 3/5

Album so good they made a movie about it. Singlehandedly made west coast hip hop huge and defined gangsta rap up untill this day. 5/5

This album is not for me. It was quite boring and I have no interest in returning to it. 2/5

The opening sounded so promising. I was half expecting a folk rock mix album. But alas this was not developed enough. There are some great songs on this album, like Sham, but not enough to make it a top album. 3/5

When does the music start? 1/5

The album is definitely not as good as some people and critics hype it up to be. 3/5

Perfect album front to back. All songs are bangers and its influence is beyond comprehension. 5/5

On multiple listens the album became somewhat listenable but I cannot shake the thought of a 5-year-old with a soundpad. 2/5

Enjoyable background music. 3/5

I don’t know how to start this shit Nas made the mistake of releasing Illmatic too early in his career. In fact, this being your debut album at 20 is insane. Sometimes artists just catch lightning in a bottle. Absolutely 5/5

What to rate an album that is carried by the guest musicians? The songs where John Lee Hooker plays alone are much weaker. Overall not bad. 3/5

An unfinished concept album, without concept, that tries really hard to be a Beatles album. 2/5

The music is nice but it also did not blow my socks off. 3/5

During multiple listens the album really grew on me. There are really nice songs on this that have a really clear political message as well! 4/5

This album has the sound of a chill friday night pub where some bloke is playing excellent music in a corner but noone is paying attention. I might put this on on a slightly hungover sunday brunch. So Long, Marianne is my favourite track of the album. 4/5

It is honestly genius how you can copy paste 8 bars to make a song. 2/5

This album took me back to the very well designed world of Mafia 2. I would give this album 5 stars for influence but I feel that this sounds more like a “Greatest Hits” album where some songs sound alike a little too much. 4/5

Excellent album 4/5

The instrumentals are decent but the vocal performance is horrible. A slight plus of the album is how it slowly lures the listener into accepting more and more noise. It starts off quite tame but at the end, it becomes very noisy. 2/5

Enjoyable

Hugely influencial project with classic songs. Not exactly my type of hip-hop though. Still hate skits in an album. 4/5

In my 1-5 star rating system I use 2 stars for music that is not bad, but just not my thing. Therefore 2/5

Album is very experimental, to the point where making random noises to be “edgy”. Music is good though. 3/5

I really enjoy Dusty’s music. The only downside to this album is that is just a collection of songs. While that is not bad, concept albums really raised the bar. 4/5

Very enjoyable punk record

I was pleasently surprised when I hit play. With this album cover, title and artist name I was expecting metal, but I was hit with groovy jazz tunes. Albums like this is why I love this website. 4/5

This album really taught me the importance of reading the wiki. Upon first listen I thought it was a Beatles-inspired double album, but it is actually a rock opera! Really made me appreciate the album more. 4/5

Enjoyable album with two huge hite. Rest is kinda mid. 3/5

The songs sound all the same and the vocal performance is not quite there, very nasal. 2/5

Nice album, some boring songs, some hits.

Ofcourse the comparison to TPAB is made. I do think TPAB is better, therefore a very high 4 stars. 4/5

Without some silly coincidences, this album never would have been and with that the sound of a country would have been lost. These amazing musicians and their music would have never been saves for us to enjoy. Amazing album front to back. It’s even better with translated lyrics next to it.

Nice album but some cringe on it.

Very solid and groovy album. The songs are a bit same-y and the album is rather short. Enjoyable though. 3/5

Beautifull songs, extremely catchy and an amazing vocal performance. 5/5

Mid

I got the perfect sunday morning album on a perfect sunny sunday morning. 4/5

Very good album, I just think Led Zeppelin has even better ones. 4/5

Solid bossa nova record. I love getting international stuff. 4/5

Second Cohen album and this one is weaker than the first. The album does not really get going. The instrumentals are very good but I feel like Leonard Cohan is breathing, not singing, into my brain. 3/5

Excellent electrionic album

This album is both very mid and huge. Songs are super famous and everybody knows them, but the quality is not the highest. No experiments, just safe pop metal music. 3/5

That was a very interesting experience! Very nice music and lyricism. Only dislike is the timbre of her voice. 4/5

Edgy 2010s hipster music with edgy spelling. They even dare to say “fuck”. Album has not aged well. 2/5

Solid Beatles album from before their more experimental projects. 4/5

Second Dusty album. I feel like “Dusty in Memphis” is better but this album is nice as well. 4/5

Second Simon and Garfunkel album. This one is not as good as Bridge but shows signs of their greatness. 4/5

Album os pretty mid. Never heard of Ryan Adams and will not be returning. 2/5

Very nice album with howling solo’s. 4/5

Okay country album. Starts off promising. 3/5

The first song is SUCH a banger that it makes me sad the rest of the album is not more like it. 3/5

Voice like a bazooka and songs to go with it. 5/5

Wacky album with blues and rock inspirations. Not as unhinged as trout mask yet. 4/5

The tracks are fun but forgettable like one of those cooking videos. I will not return to this record. 3/5

I understand what they were trying to do. A lot of rythm switches and experimental time signatures, but it also has to sound good. 3/5

Very solid for a live album. 4/5

Amazing album that still sounds futuristic! Hugely influential, sparking a new genre! 5/5

I understand what they were trying to do. A lot of rythm switches and experimental time signatures, but it also has to sound good. 3/5

I understand what they were trying to do. A lot of rythm switches and experimental time signatures, but it also has to sound good. 3/5

Not my usual thing but I cannot give it a 1. I understand this albums place in music. 2/5

So much better than Ghosteen. 4/5

I understand what they were trying to do. A lot of rythm switches and experimental time signatures, but it also has to sound good. 3/5

Really good pop album! Not all songs bang as much as Blondie’s biggest hits off this record, therefore 4/5.

You can really tell it is music for a movie. I was missing sonething in every song. 3/5

Not really my thing. Takes a while tto get going. 2/5

I regret giving London Calling only 4/5 and this should be lower. But it’s still 4/5 for me.

Pretty mid rock album. 3/5

Really blown away by this album. Amazing! 5/5

Pretty mid, though enjoyable. 3/5

Really enjoyed this! A lot better than the previous Air album I got. 4/5

This is what you get when you turn psychedelia up to 11. Very good album with just one downside: it is a bit incoherent. 4/5

Okay rock album

Not my favourite style, but still some bangers on this album. 3/5

Decent album with one huge hit. Enjoyable listening experience

Very refreshing to get some hip hop. Produced by a prime Kanye and decent rap. 4/5

Really enjoyed this album! I will have to return to the 3 hour deluxe version some other time, but this album sounds like more. 4/5

Probably the best solo album to come out of the Beatles. 4/5

I know Bjork gets hyped up by music fans but this ain’t it.

Kinda mid album, some bangers bring it up to 3/5

Makes me wish I was there. Amazing musicians!

Okay album

Huge hit in Our House. They added like 5 versions of this song to the album. The rest of the songs sound very similar. Okay listen but will not return. 3/5

Kinda folky, but very mid. 3/5

Very good jazz album. Loved the theme. 4/5

It’s quite fun listen but stays very safe.

Kinda enjoyable but will not return. Album tries to be a bunch of things at once.

Very nice album, kinda punky/grungy.

Some Ibiza-type club music after a lot of rock and blues. There was some variation in the songs but overall it felt a bit long.

Excellent jazz album.

Music for a spy thriller, enjoyable though. 3/5

Excellent album. Paul Simon is great.

Very enjoyable. I'm always a big fan of live albums that are this good. 4/5

That was decent enough. A lot of big sounds from the guitar and distortion. Reminds me of a tuned up Joy Division. 3/5

Oof, in the way I listened to this album, that is, catching up after a vacation, this came in RAW. I do not dislike it but I will probably not return to it.

This album is a lot weaker than Pet Sounds. Very decent but boring poppy music for girls to scream to. 3/5

Not his strongest record. Some covers and all that. 3/5

Not for me, a lot of boring songs... 2/5

Really enjoyed this! Very good. 4/5

Very fun album! Not something I would find on my own, but similarly something I will probably not return to. 3/5

This album had some nice songs but most of them were quite boring to me. Not my thing. 2/5

Reading up on this album I now know why I never heard of them; they sadly never became big in Europe. I like the punky/wave sound they have going on. 3/5

Very strong start and end to the album. Middle is meh. 4/5

Very good rock record! 4/5

Quite boring

Very good album, fuck yoko ono

Not my thing

Good album. Funny how making fun of Nirvana makes you famous

Such a shame we never got more music…

An album so good it’s a cliché saying it’s good.

Decently surprised! 4/5

Kinda mid album 3/5

Very nice live album!

Very good album. It’s easy when you stick the best musicians at the tome together and let them jam!

Very mid, very tame rock pop tunes 3/5

It was over before it really got going

Overproduced, too many samples

Very enjoyable. Ziggy Stardust is still his best work.

Mussorgsky spinning is his grave can solve the energy crisis

Very nice album

It all sounds the same

Not enjoyable

Interesting album

I am the clown for listening to this

I have a fever dream but someone left on the radio

I was wondering why I had the first song saved…

Groovy, though not their best project

Mid

Not what I expected with that artist name and album cover. Quite enjoyable.

Very enjoyable album!

Enjoyable though not his best project

So this album came out when I was 5. Kid me didn’t like Timberlake and kid me was right. PS. Too many whispery “girl and baby” phrases. 2/5

Very enjoyable and albums like these are precisely why I like this project.

Luv me Beatles

Okay dad rock album

Somewhat enjoyable. Very same sounding

Punky

Horribly mediocre

Wow Just like with reading Ulysses, I’m going to need several relistens and cutlery to get to the bottom of this.

Very mid, all sounds the same

Not their best (yet)

This is just mid. Not very good and never was.

Just a worse Kanye

Straight 5*

Back to back 5*

Really doubting between 4 and 5 stars. I feel not every song is for me…

Decent album, a bit short

Pretty mid

Cartoon chase music 3/5

Enjoyable enough Never really got into Common

They built upon their one hit nicely enough but never really caught that lightning in a bottle again. 3/5

Too slow

Not good

Instrumentals are okay but vocals are like nails on a chalkboard

Very enjoyable!

Very enjoyable! Never would have found this on my own. 4/5

Repeat guitar riff 500 times

Feels like a mall album, for mass consumption

Sometimes trying too hard

Lots of covers, a bit on the slow side

Didn’t quite enjoy this

It's "Bad", it's good

Decent album with lots of hits

Enjoyable enough

One of the best metal albums ever

Enjoyable live album

Kinda boring at times

Whenever I'm in between 4 and 5 stars, I always regret giving 4

Groovy

Hip Hop was further than this in 1990.

Enjoyable sunday morning vibes

Good album

Very solid rock record

Decent album

Very enjoyable and out of comfort zone for me 4/5

This was mid even in the eighties

Feels like a filler album to get to 1001. No place on this list.

Quite a fun listen

Makes me nostalgic for a time I never experienced

This is album is overhyped by people who listened to it as angry and troubled edgy teens. It wasn't good and still isn't. 2/5

Feels like a fan-made copy of Loveless

Decent album, enjoyable but nothing amazing

The inclusion of this album obviously hinges on the song "Papa Was A Rollin' Stone". The rest of the album was enjoyable enough though. 3/5

Very nice album. One downside is that the songs sound the same 4/5
