Sounds like a bunch of children were let loose with instruments and a sound effect machine. And to top it off you have the mumbling and random shouting which sounds like someone on a drug binge. Couldn't distinguish any of the songs from eachother. 36 mins of assault to my ears
Don't listen with headphones - save yourself from the offensive screeches.
The worst song for me was "Sentimental Journey" - what I imagine the inside of a microwave sounds like. Also includes birds/clown horn and bottles being smashed repeatedly. Lyrics include - " Table. Chairs. TV. Books. Other stuff". To the 5 (!!!) writers who wrote those lyrics - I hope you didn't give up the day job
Terrible

BEYONCÉ
Beyoncé
I have many thoughts. But before the haters come for me - Beyonce has an amazing voice, I just don't like her music
This was just bad. The rapping (not sure I can call it that?) was not good. I grew up listening to destiny's child, and I think Beyonce has some great songs from earlier in her career. But this album is a big no for me. I'd have enjoyed it more if she sang ballads rather than this generic radio crap
Everytime I start getting into a song, the beat changes and it seems like a complete different song. Odd choice
"I sneezed on the beat and the beat got sicker" - sounds like something a 13 year old would come up with. Speaking of the lyrics - so many people co-writing, and thats the best they could come up with?
I hated drunk in love when it came out, and can confirm I still hate it now
Flawless was particularly offensive on my ears. Terrible
The only song I like is XO - and only because I love the John Mayer cover and I thought it was his original song
Also the thought of her getting it on with Jay Z makes me unwell. I don't want to hear about it (blow comes to mind)
The whole album seems like she's overcompensating and telling everyone how in love she is and how much sex she's getting. Like we all don't know her husband was cheating the whole time

CHVRCHES
This is the first album I've had so far by an artist I've seen live! I saw Chvrches when they opened for Coldplay
The only song I was familiar with was The Mother We Share which I like. The rest aren't very good - some were terrible
And over an hour long? Rough
The male singers songs were much better than the females
Music you'd hear in H&M stores

Taylor Swift
I was honestly so excited to see this one pop up today because it's my favourite era!! Or as I like to call it - Taylor in her ❄️ era
This is where she peaked for me, and was the last album I properly listened to. I was about 18 when this came out - which was probably her target audience. I get it's not for everyone!
If cheesy pop bangers are your thing you will love this one. What a track list! A lot of big hits on this album! 2 of my all time fave Taylor songs are on this album - Style and Wildest Dreams
Relistening to this album filled me with nostalgia and took me right back to 2014
Fast forward to 2024 and I still listen to these songs - majority of this album very very often. 2 months ago me and my sister went to the eras tour with these songs being the best part of the evening!
Putting my personal feelings about Taylor aside - this album is so so good I can't deny it. I see a lot of negative reviews here purely because of her and not the music. I will forever sing along to these songs as loud as I can and it truly deserves full marks

The Dark Side Of The Moon
Pink Floyd
Ugh another album that sounds like an alien abduction
I'd never listened to Pink Floyd so wasn't sure what to expect. But going by the ratings on here I had high hopes
Starting with the bad points -
The screeching wailing woman in "The Great Gig In The Sky" ruined the song
All the clock noises in "Time" were like nails on a chalkboard. Awful
Now for the good points -
I did enjoy the male singers voice and the songs without offensive noises. "Us and Them" was a very nice song and I recognised "Money"
I liked the chill guitar songs towards the end of the album and how the songs flowed into each other
I can't rate this album as enjoyable on the whole because the first half was that bad. Which is a shame because the 2nd half was very good
I feel like this album is either overhyped, or the people giving it 5's were high as fuck

Most of the songs were alright, it's his voice that I can't stand. Never really been a fan of Life on Mars? but I did enjoy Queen Bitch
I was glad about the lack of offensive spaceship noises in this one (apart from the start of Andy Warhol which was highly offensive to my ears)
Slight offensive noises and bad screeching aside, I am going to say this album was alright on the whole. I probably would have rated higher with a different singer

I'd never listened to this album based off the singles. I liked The Louvre, Perfect Places, and Green Light has since grown on me - but nothing else really stood out
This album sounds like Forever 21 music - and we can blame producer Jack Antonoff for that
