Pretty bland stuff

Let's Get It On

Marvin Gaye

3/5

All baby making music, a lot of songs sound similar but they’re good

Murder Ballads

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

2/5

O’Malleys bar might the worst song I’ve ever heard. Rest of the album is kind of interesting though. This is a weird one

Heroes

David Bowie

2/5

Was not expecting strange instrumental songs for half the album. Herod is good but that’s about it

Eliminator

ZZ Top

3/5

Classic dad rock

Femi Kuti

2 good songs and a bunch of duds, drugs recommended

I Want To See The Bright Lights Tonight

Richard Thompson

3/5

Nice folksy music, easy listening nothing I loved too much though

1984

Van Halen

4/5

Guess I know why I knew most of these songs, I get it. Hot for teacher is the corniest song ever

Moon Safari

Air

4/5

Some funky beats and sweet jams. This shit rocks

I Am a Bird Now

Antony and the Johnsons

2/5

Guys voice is quite annoying, some songs are alright though

Vespertine

Björk

4/5

Very strange, but strangely moving. I imagine this is just what Iceland sounds like.

Revolver

Beatles

4/5

Haven’t heard half these songs but they’re good. The sitar stuff kinda stinks but nobody’s perfect

The Undertones

3/5

Not as good as their other album and a lot of these songs sound identical, still decent

Back At The Chicken Shack

Jimmy Smith

1/5

Back at the chicken shack is not funky enough to make me not hate the rest of the album. 10 min boring jazz songs is a tough listen

Dr. Octagonecologyst

Dr. Octagon

1/5

Beats sucked, hooks were bad, rap was decent. this was an hour long grind.

In The Wee Small Hours

Frank Sinatra

2/5

I get it’s old and he’s got a great voice, but boy this is boring stuff.

Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music

Ray Charles

3/5

Pretty sleepy jazz/blues. Second album started off hot then went back to the same boring choir songs. Not bad just wanted some more upbeat stuff

Shleep

Robert Wyatt

2/5

in the few songs where he actually made music, they sounded good. Can’t forgive him for the rest though. Especially the second song.

Natty Dread

Bob Marley & The Wailers

4/5

Great change of pace from what I’ve been getting recently. Good vibes, some good songs I’ve never heard either

Raising Hell

Run-D.M.C.

5/5

Bangers from start to finish

Fulfillingness' First Finale

Stevie Wonder

4/5

Even the slow songs were pretty good, creepin’ was a low point but I liked most of these

Either Or

Elliott Smith

3/5

Not the biggest fan of the whisper singing but the album started out great, the songs near the end all kinda blended together. A little too melancholic unless you’re in the mood

The Suburbs

Arcade Fire

5/5

I always liked their hits but never gave the albums a chance. This album is super good, no bad songs

Red Headed Stranger

Willie Nelson

4/5

Never listened to Willie before, this was just a pleasant experience

Live At Leeds

The Who

3/5

Wasn’t bad but didn’t blow me away as it’s a live album with none of their mega hits on it. Seeing it 50 years ago would have been cool I guess

In A Silent Way

Miles Davis

2/5

As far as 20 minute jazz songs go, this was surprisingly listenable just pretty boring. What are we doing here

Madman Across The Water

Elton John

5/5

No bad songs and the first like 6 are all excellent. Levon is a classic

Doolittle

Pixies

3/5

Pretty weird but oddly compelling. Not sure how to feel about this one. The hits hit though

Idlewild

Everything But The Girl

2/5

Not awful, but not a single song stood out. Generic 80s love album. Not 1 star territory but we can do better than this

Gorillaz

2/5

Liked it a lot less than I thought I would, first few songs are good, last few are too, & Clint Eastwood slaps. The instrumental stuff in between I did not like as much

Play

Moby

3/5

Basically movie soundtracks, which is good if you’re in the mood for it. Some duds some bangers

Hot Buttered Soul

Isaac Hayes

4/5

When I saw it was 4 songs and a 46 min runtime I was expecting much worse. Apart from the 8 minute monologue in the 4th song all the tunes were good. Instrumentals were great and his voice is buttery smooth. Was expecting him to say hello children at one point

Miriam Makeba

2/5

I can’t give it 1 star cause she’s clearly talented with a nice voice, but this ain’t for me. House of the rising sun was cool though.

Music in Exile

Songhoy Blues

3/5

Was definitely surprised by this one, African blues is not something I’d ever say I’d listen to on my own but some of these songs rock even though I have no idea what they’re saying. The last few songs aren’t my jam though but solid listen

Foo Fighters

4/5

Starts off strong and while the middle sounds same-y there’s no bad songs. Finishes well too

Sign 'O' The Times

Prince

3/5

With the First couple songs I wasn’t sure why prince was so popular to begin with. But album 2 and even the B side of 1 it got better. Still very 80s and housequake might be the worst song ever

Live At The Harlem Square Club

Sam Cooke

4/5

Sound quality is a bit of a miss but what a party this would have been to go to live. Still enjoyed it

American Idiot

Green Day

5/5

Definitely biased with growing up with this album but it still rocks. Jesus of suburbia’s a top 10 song for me, the rest of the album is full of classics

Talvin Singh

1/5

Sounds like the soundtrack to a Bollywood action movie

Dare!

The Human League

3/5

Might be the most 80est album of all time. Most tunes are catchy enough though.

One Nation Under A Groove

Funkadelic

4/5

They brought the funk

Kimono My House

Sparks

4/5

It’s a bit much but it was fun, singing kind of sucks but I guess that’s what they were going for. Music kinda rocked though

Innervisions

Stevie Wonder

4/5

Killer voice and good instrumentals, also funky. A couple songs are duds though but no ones perfect

Rust Never Sleeps

Neil Young & Crazy Horse

3/5

The acoustic songs in the first half are nice if although they all sound pretty similar. The rock songs in the second half are good though, though young Neil young voice sounds a little extra whiney. Still a great Canadian musician

Get Behind Me Satan

The White Stripes

5/5

Jack white rocks

Tusk

Fleetwood Mac

3/5

Some great songs, some bad songs, mostly average songs

The Jamaica song is the only miss on this one

The Beach Boys Today!

The Beach Boys

2/5

Makes me wanna start an acapella group with the boys

John Barleycorn Must Die

Traffic

3/5

A lot better than I thought it’d be based on the name. What did John Barleycorn do to these guys

Document

R.E.M.

4/5

End of the world is worth at least +1 star

The Marshall Mathers LP

Eminem

4/5

The first half has all the hits and they still slap, second half is the Eminem we all know and hate.

Highly Evolved

The Vines

3/5

Completely unremarkable punk music. A perfect 2.5 stars

Seventeen Seconds

The Cure

2/5

Kinda boring but oddly nice sounding album. Good spooky season fall music

Talking Timbuktu

2/5

Each song is 2 mins too long. Anyone who gave this a 5 either speaks this language or is lying to themselves

The Gun Club

Pretty good bono, pretty good

Triangle

The Beau Brummels

3/5

Generic and whimsical folk music that I’d consider going on an adventure to

Catch A Fire

Bob Marley & The Wailers

3/5

Concrete jungle, high tide or low tide and stir it up are all real good. The rest is kinda boring and sound mostly the same. Still very easy to listen to

Gold

Ryan Adams

4/5

Pretty fun album, too long though

Bongo Rock

Incredible Bongo Band

5/5

Should be called incredible band with bongos

Arc Of A Diver

Steve Winwood

2/5

Incredibly unmarkable but not bad I guess

My Generation

The Who

2/5

Not awful but certainly nothing great

Led Zeppelin

5/5

More of a 4.5 cause the last couple songs aren’t as good, but everything else here slaps

Run-D.M.C.

3/5

Not as good as raising hell and kinda repetitive

The Downward Spiral

Nine Inch Nails

3/5

Feels like music they’d listen to in the matrix. This kind of hurt my ears but that’s the point?

Untitled (Black Is)

SAULT

3/5

Super heavy handed with the message here, but the songs where they actually do music are good. The talking bits and repetitive beats made this a slog though. 2.5

Hejira

Joni Mitchell

4/5

Enjoyed this a whole lot more than expected. Super relaxing tunes and quality singing. A little boring at times but still good, coyotes a great tune

Wish You Were Here

The opening songs and wish you were here were great, the rest just alright. Good album though

All gas no breaks

Smile

Brian Wilson

At San Quentin

Good cause I like Johnny cash and seemed like a cool show, but why is it on the list

3/5

Every song sounds the same but what do you expect from the 50s, at least it wasn’t jazz

Tellin’ Stories

The Charlatans

Generic sounding Brit pop but good
