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

This album hit me right in the feels today. Hearing these songs bring back tons of memories from different stages of my life. The day I finished school, drunk in a field, everyone singing Wonderwall. Being deep into the crowd at Leeds fest 2017 watching Liam's set. Listening to Oasis every morning on the way to work, so loud the car was shaking
What I love about this album is how its stood the test of time. I was at a gig in Manchester on the day Oasis announced their reunion, and the crowd sang along to Wonderwall before the show. People of all ages with their lights in the air 🥹 Some much younger than me, but they knew all the words as if it was a new song
Don't Look Back in Anger also becoming a song of unity in the city since 2017 🐝 I love hearing crowds of people singing along. The power of music is truly amazing, and this album is not only so good, but it brings people together! ❤️
One of the rare albums that really belongs on this list lol

This was all over the place
Some of the songs weren't too bad, even nice in parts. But then the guy would start this weird deep talking over the songs and ruin them
They couldn't pick a genre when they made this album. Seems like they just said yes to all

I only know 2 Radiohead songs, so this album was completely new to me. I was expecting it to sound more rock/guitar
What the hell was this?! Nearly 45 minutes of whining and weird noises. Not what I was expecting at all
This is what people are always raving about... really?
I try to be open minded but this guys voice ruined the few nice songs there were

Jazmine Sullivan
... there were a lot of songs about getting dick?
I'm all for female empowerment but lyrics such as "that money keeps that pussy wet" was a bit too much 🥴
I loved the beats, a very nice vibe going on. She had a nice voice too. Not a fan of the skits/talking whatever you want to call them
The Other Side was my favourite song, it had so much potential and then she'd lose me singing about getting her titties out and getting her booty done 🫠
Would have been a higher score tbh if the songs were instrumentals or had different lyrics. This album had a lot of potential to be poignant and beautiful - but then she'd ruin it by throwing in words that made it comical and unserious

Wasn't impressed by the album length to begin with, but I enjoyed it all! Love the guitar, totally zoned out and went into my own little world

I knew what my rating for this would be instantly. What an album!
We had Hot Fuss on cd growing up so these songs brought back a lot of nostalgia. I listen to half of these songs all the time, but it was nice to go back and hear the whole thing in full
This album was banger after banger, and what a way to start the album with those first 5 songs!!
Also they are so fucking good live, it makes me love these songs even more

Such a beautiful album with some big hits!! Perfect music to chill out to. We had this album at home, I can remember so clearly listening to this on my little green cd player. Those were the days 🥹
Usually debut albums aren't as good as a bands later stuff, but they had Yellow on theirs 💛 A song that has stood the test of time. I can still remember the music video vividly!
Coldplay were one of my bucket list bands and I finally got to see them last year. People can shit on them all they want but hands down they put on one of the best concerts I've ever been to. And what they're doing to reduce emissions on tour is incredible
Love everything about this album, I will defend it always!

There were some very good songs on this album! I knew a handful of them already

Linkin Park is a band that I should enjoy based off other bands I listen to. My school friends were fans and would suggest me songs. I'd hear all the hype about them. But they've never really clicked for me no matter how much I try!
In The End is an absolute banger, but the rest were kind of meh? I recognised a few songs but I probably wouldn't listen to the majority of it again

I wasn't sure how to rate this one. Instrumentally - I enjoyed this one a lot more than his other stuff. Loved the guitar. And also no weird spaceship noises on this one
But on the other hand, his voice was not good here. You could tell it was a later album. It just kinda grated on me? And some of the lyrics made me cringe at one point
I guess it was alright on the whole, not something I would choose to listen to again. But I rated Hunky Dory a 3 which was way better than this one in comparison. So...

Taylor Swift
Evermore made the list over Folklore? Hm ok
I've always said Taylor wasn't made for pop (even though I love 1989, don't @ me)
I'll admit I was never a fan of this album and had never given it a chance until I went to the eras tour. It grew on me after multiple listens
These sort of songs are the right range for her voice, and she should stick to this type of stuff! So why the hell she chooses to continue releasing crap is beyond me. She has some very beautiful songs here but instead her latest album included lyrics "touch me while your bros play grand theft auto". You know you can do better girl!
No Body, No Crime is my favourite song off this album, and it reminded me of earlier Taylor when she was still country
An enjoyable album that wasn't quite a 5. Too long with a lot of filler between the gems
