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

BEYONCΓ
BeyoncΓ©
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

His voice is bad. This is my 2nd album of his and I'm shocked that he made this list not once - but twice at least

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 βοΈ 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

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)

This album sounds like Forever 21 music - and we can blame producer Jack Antonoff for that

(What's The Story) Morning Glory
Oasis
This is THE Oasis album!!
Massive tunes!!!! What a tracklist! A lot of my all time favourite Oasis songs are on this album
This album is older than me and yet its still played wherever I go. Its rare to visit Manchester and not hear an Oasis song playing somewhere. Iconic
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 π₯Ή 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 π 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! β€οΈ

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 π«
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

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 π₯Ή
Usually debut albums aren't as good as a bands later stuff, but they had Yellow on theirs π 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!

I enjoyed small parts of this album. Mainly the instrumental parts. Some of it, especially the Indian influences sounded very soothing
What I didn't enjoy was the random talking at the start, the more electronic parts, and the sound effects. And some of the songs were too long
This would have worked very well as an instrumental album - for meditation for example. But what ruined it was the other stuff he added on top

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...

Evermore made the list over Folklore? Hm ok

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

Another Bowie album. Safe to say I wasn't exactly eager to put this one on. Not the worst one of his, but I didn't like it on the whole
It had its moments - I really enjoyed the guitar on Stay! Word On A Wing would have been lovely as an instrumental
But why did he sound like a ghost, wailing over these songs?? Was it the coke? Absolutely terrible, and ruined the songs. The other songs were pleasant enough instrumentally, but it was more like background noise
I've said it before and I'll say it again - would have scored higher with a different singer. Sorry Bowie fans, he's not for me!

I knew a lot of these songs and skits already, and even though I'm not usually a fan of skits, it was enjoyable! My Name Is - probably the biggest song on the album, but there's quite a few big tunes on this one
I think my score was influenced a lot by nostalgia, because some of these songs did not age well lmao (still think they're bangers). Eminem is also very good live so I'm probably biased π

This is the first one that I've actually enjoyed! My usual complaint is I don't like his voice
But he actually sang on this one and it wasnt bad at all. The songs were much better too
Wouldn't go as far as calling myself a fan now, but this was an enjoyable album. I see why this one is one of his best

Chemtrails Over The Country Club

If clinical depression was an album, then this is it. Why is this woman always moping about?
I was surprised that 1 - she made this list, and 2 - that it was this album. I don't like Lana but even I've heard of NFR and Born To Die. I'd never heard of this one
Unfortunately Lana is not for me, unless she stops mumbling and perks up a bit. This was so boring and monotonous. I only enjoyed 1 song, and 'enjoyed' is pushing it
She should write songs about her life in the swamp, married to the alligator man. At least then it would be more interesting than whatever this was

Instant 5 star!! π₯
This is one of the albums that define my teenage years, and I still listen to it. I remember watching the American Idiot music video on MTV and thinking Billie Joe was so cool. What a time to be alive
This album was huge. For years I couldn't walk into a HMV without seeing this album plastered all over. Green Day still use American Idiot to make political statements. Wake Me Up When September ends is still a meme. They still play the majority of this album live. You wouldn't think it was over 20 years old
This is THE Green Day album. Banger after banger! Hearing those guitar riffs just hit the right part of my brainπ€π» Sick album cover. They're also one of the best bands I have ever seen live. Hella Mega tour was insane. They nailed it with this one. Points all round honestly

Clocks was one of the first songs I learnt to play on piano, and one of the songs that inspired me to take lessons. This album just takes me back to a very specific time in my life. Hits me right in the feels

I've seen reviews where people are getting riled up about the language and lyrics, but I thought it was quite funny. Its a perfect example of the stupid shit we listened to in the 2000s. So its a shame it was so repetitive because I would have scored it higher

I enjoy Irish music and I like a bit of humour in songs - so this was a perfect combination! Ended up recognising a few of the songs by the end too

Pet Sounds
The Beach Boys
I was a bit disappointed not gonna lie. I was expecting it to be a bit more upbeat?
God Only Knows and Wouldn't It Be Nice - A+++ absolute bangers! But some of the songs sounded a bit like filler sadly
I was lucky enough to see The Beach Boys for free years back. A very good band, but just not this album for me sadly. I'll stick to the greatest hits
RIP Brian Wilson

Bookends
Simon & Garfunkel
How disappointing!!
Bridge Over Troubled Water was such a nice album - and then you have this?!
To think Mrs Robinson is on the same album as a song where he's pretending to be an english muffin in a toaster. Shambles

Technique
New Order
I'm not a huge fan of new wave music so my hopes weren't that high for this album. I did actually quite enjoy it though! Upbeat and catchy, what's not to like!

Back In Black
AC/DC
Yeeeeesssss! π€π»π₯
I listen to a lot of these songs on the regular, so it was nice to finally listen to the album in full!
Although my favourite AC/DC song isn't on this album (Thunderstruck) it still has some huge bangers
Good stuff

Don't Come Home A Drinkin' (With Lovin' On Your Mind)
Loretta Lynn
I loved this album!
What a beautiful voice. I love that this album is so typical of the times, lyrically and the sound. Its so catchy and I knew some of the songs
I used to listen to old country music like this with my grandparents growing up. There's something quite comforting when I hear these old songs!

Colour By Numbers
Culture Club
Ugh. First off - I can't stand Boy George. He annoyed me so bad on I'm A Celeb. Also google the radiator incident if you're not aware π
So feelings aside - this album was ok. Very dated but instrumental wise was ok, catchy in places! Better than I expected
I've never liked Karma Chameleon but there's better songs on the album. I also didn't really like his voice either. Just sounded a bit dull?
Overall meh but not quite a 3

The Joshua Tree
U2
This was bad. It was so boring and after the first 3 tracks, it sounded like 1 big song
The only thing saving this from a 2 star rating is the fact they have 3 big songs on this. Them I enjoyed. The rest of this album I did not
Rounded up to 3 βοΈ

Beggars Banquet
The Rolling Stones
I'm not really a fan of The Rolling Stones. I just find them a bit meh. I'm also not huge on Mick's voice
This album was a very nice surprise because its much better than their other stuff I've heard. Controversial opinion maybe but I've never liked Sympathy For The Devil. But the rest of the album was decent

Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness
The Smashing Pumpkins
More like Mellon Collie and the Infinite Screeching
Started off alright. The guys voice soon pissed me off so bad - was like nails on a chalkboard. I knew 2 of these songs beforehand, can't say I particulary liked them
There was no need at all for this album to be 2 hours long. Absolutely no need

My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy
Kanye West
You can't deny Kanye is talented. Shitty human being - yes. But also makes great music. Both things can be true at once
I really really enjoyed this album. Lots of huge songs on here. All Of The Lights is one of my favourite Kanye songs. Loved the interlude with the strings!
I wish he'd get rid of Nicki Minaj's terrible British accent at the start though, that was dreadful

Arrival
ABBA
THIS is the ABBA I wanted. I was disappointed after listening to The Visitors
Banger after banger. Impossible not to sing along to these songs! I knew all of them apart from 3 so it was very enjoyable
Fernando is one of my favourites, that song should have never been a bonus track!
Ultimate karaoke and party songs. Makes me want to rewatch Mamma Mia

Rumours
Fleetwood Mac
Finally I've generated Rumours!
I knew quite a few of these songs but had never listened to the album in full. Based off all the high scores, I really was expecting to be blown away. But sadly some of these were pretty boring and bland
It was still a good album on the whole, would have probably rounded up to a 5 had Oh Daddy not been on the tracklist. Really did not like that song
The Chain brings back so many memories of watching F1 as a kid. Go Your Own Way is another massive banger. These 2 songs were the ones that carried this album
Glad to say I've finally listened to it, although I do think its a bit overhyped. Maybe its just not my cup of tea

I've never really listened to Pearl Jam. I obviously knew Even Flow but that was about it. Ended up recognizing a few songs of this album which took me by surprise
This was a good album! I'm not keen on the guys voice tbh but hey the songs were pretty good

Not my favourite of Frank's work, but I really love his voice
There were some classic tunes on this album. Loved the Portuguese parts too, their voices blended nicely
Very smooth and chill

Let's start off with the ICONIC album photo. One of these days I'll make it to Abbey Road and see the crossroad π€π»
Come Together is an amazing song, what a way to open an album!
Lots of classic songs on this album. I'll be here all day if I talk about them all. Catchy stuff
