Very solid record for an Australian band I'd never heard of. I was pleasantly surprised with how enjoyable the whole listening experience was. The vocals and production of the album really just complement each other and the main idea of it being centered around love is quite nice. Best - Love Goes On!, Quiet Heart, The Devil's Eye, Streets Of Your Town, Was There Anything I Could Do?, and Dive For Your Memory No bad songs but Clouds and I'm All Right are lil mid 3.50-3.75/5

I was excited to see that I'd be listening to an indie rock/art pop album, but as soon as I heard that voice, my joy quickly turned to disappointment. This guy's voice can be good when he wants, but everything falls apart when he starts singing in falsetto. It really sucks. I like the instrumentation here, but the vocals ruin it. The lyrics on this, as well, are straight-ass. I know kids that aren't even in high school that can write better shit than this. "My boot, my boot, my boot, my boot up your asshole" is how I feel about this album. Best - All The King's Men and Two Dancers (i) Worse - The Fun Powder Plot, Hooting and Howling, and much more that I don't care to list. 2.25-2.50/5

I'm a big fan of Bigmouth Strikes Again. A cool song and a cool fella but more importantly the album was a solid listen. Some of the track had the same formula to to it but it was still fun to listen to. Top 3 Fav: Bigmouth Strikes Again, There is A Light That Never Goes Away, and The Boy With The Thorn In His Side Top 3 Worst: no bad songs 3.50/5

It's a pretty solid debut for Foo Fighters. I wasn't expecting much but for the most part I liked what I heard. It's a typical 90's rock album but it excels at what it does. The first half of it was where it had its highs then after Floaty it just dips in quality. Most of the songs on this album just blend in with each other which I guess isn't a bad thing. All in all for my first album listened to on this generator I liked it. Best - Floaty and Big Me Worst - Weenie Beenie and Wattershed 3.0-3.5/5

Upon listening to the album more than once and the complete version of it, I can confidently say that I do not care for this record. There were two songs I'd say I liked, but for the rest, I just didn't care for. I can understand the cultural significance of it, but it just doesn't push all the right buttons for me. I'm sure if I was teleported to 1964 in Hamburg, present at the show, I'd lose my marbles and do all kinds of crazy shit. It's dated and doesn't really have all that much substance to me. Also, this guy was pedo racist pos it's a damn shame he managed to live so long. Rest in Piss Jerry Lee Lewis Best - Money and Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On Everything else is MID 2/5

Very solid record by CCR. Enjoyed most of songs on this besides a very few that ran a bit too long for my liking but still wasn't bad. This was honestly a banger and a pleasure to listen to. If you ever want to know what it feels like to be an American just listen to this and or all of CCR's discography. Would recommend. Best - Born on the Bayou, Bootleg, and Proud Mary No bad songs 4.0 out of 5

Started off pretty good with I Zimbra it definitely hooked me from the start. The very interesting instrumentation really drew me but when the singer started getting a bit too wacky I was just kind of caught off guard and a bit confused. As I understand that seems to his whole shtick but it's not something I'm really a big fan of. Nevertheless the album as a whole was decent. The last three to end it the album off were a bit disappointing and it just felt like I got edged for nothing. I'd say I enjoyed experience more than the music itself. Best - I Zimbra, Life During Wartime, and Heaven Worst - Animals and Electric Guitar 2.75-3.0/5

Started off the album with a BANGER and proceeded to just capture my attention all the way. Great production, good vocals, awesome drumming, and absolutely no duds whatsoever. I will say the first side does carry but there no bad songs on this at worst I'd say a very few on side b are good but anything worse than that you are trippin. Great listen, would recommend. Best - Tom Sawyer, YYZ, and Witch Hunt No bad songs

Decent record. It started off with a nice one then when Yes Sir, No Sir came in it really brought me back to earth. I really thought it was gonna be another banger. It wasn't bad but it definitely wasn't as good as I thought it would be since a lot of the British Invaders got lots of classic albums. I thought most of the album itself was decent, it had a couple of low points throughout but I felt like it did end quite nicely. Not something I would come back to but I didn't mind listening to it. Best - Victoria, Brainwashed, Shangri-La, and Arthur Worst - Yes Sir, No Sir and Nothing to Say 3.0-3.25

Started off pretty rough but got better as I progressed. Solid production, interesting vocals, and not bad for an album with a rough start. Definitely took at least two listens to warm up to Elvis' voice but after that it started to enjoy the album more. It's one of those album where you just gotta listen to it more than once to appreciate it. I wouldn't place it high but it was not bad at all. Best - I Hope You're Are Happy Now, Tokyo Storm Warning, I Want You, and Blue Chair Worst - Uncomplicated and Battered Old Bird 3.25-3.50/5

Awesome samples, great vocals by Beth, and loved the dark moody feel of it. A solid trip-hop album to listen to and great for those getting into different types of genres. Would recommend no cap. Best - Sour Times, Wandering Star, Numb, Roads, Biscuit, and Glory Box No bad songs 3.75/5

Had an interestingly gloomy tone to it on the first track which sets you up for what's to come later on. Honestly Damon Albarn's vocals carry the whole album for me personally. His singing is like the vocal personification of melancholy throughout the album which pairs well with the production. This was a solid listen, I'll definitely be coming back to a few of these tracks. Best - History Song, 80s Life, Northern Whale, A Soldier's Tale, and Three Changes No bad songs 3.5-3.75/5

A nice psychedelic rock to listen to. The feelings put to this felt quite intimate but I found myself staying in the same repetitive loop (it wasn't a bad loop though). On A Northern Soul I'm not fond of how abrasive the overall track feels I guess it's just part of it's charm but I just couldn't get into it that well. Overall, not a bad record if like britpop and psychedelic rock with some deep thoughts put to it I think you'll like it. Best - On Your Own, Drive You Home, History, and Life's An Ocean Worst - A Northern Soul and Stormy Clouds 3.00-3.25/5

Very solid record for an Australian band I'd never heard of. I was pleasantly surprised with how enjoyable the whole listening experience was. The vocals and production of the album really just complement each other and the main idea of it being centered around love is quite nice. Best - Love Goes On!, Quiet Heart, The Devil's Eye, Streets Of Your Town, Was There Anything I Could Do?, and Dive For Your Memory No bad songs but Clouds and I'm All Right are lil mid 3.50-3.75/5

Opening and Closing Tracks carried the album. Let It Happen and Monkey Man were decent the rest of the tracks it didn't really care for. Not bad though, I'll definitely be coming back to Gimme Shelter and You Can't Always Get What You Want. Best - Gimme Shelter and You Can't Always Get What You Want Worse - Country Honk and Love In Vain 3.25/5

Had its highs and lows it started off decent in the beginning but it quickly started getting subpar. Then it started getting decent again and then it dips again. Overall not bad but I won't be coming back to this anytime soon. Best - Mansion, Spoilt Victorian Child, and Paintwork Worst - Couldn't Get Ahead, Gut Of The Quantifier, and I Am Damo Suzuki 2.75-3.00/5

Dark, explicit, graphic, and controversial. All attributes that define this album and the man himself. This album really wasn't my cup of tea hearing all that screaming made the album a bit repetitive and therefore boring. I can't say that I hated the entire thing since there was a very few amount of songs on there that stuck out that I thought were listenable. 100% won't be coming back to this but it ain't the worse thing I've heard so far. Best - The Beautiful People, Tourniquet and Antichrist Superstar Worse - Pretty much the rest of the album 2.25-2.5/5

Energetic, soppy, mopey, and all of it being centered around synths is all I have to say about this album. I tried so hard to like this album. Listening to this repeatedly, I noticed that the singer would either elevate the songs or make them sound worse. I loved the energy coming from Heads Will Roll, but after that, the album began feeling subpar. The intro track immediately reminded me of Fox On The Run. It resulted in me catching a phony vibe while listening to the rest of it. Respectfully, anyone who gives this a five is smoking crack. Anyway, all in all, the album ended nicely. If the vocals didn't sound whiny and cheesy at times and had a bit more polish, and if the lyrics were better. I would have given this a four. That said, overall, the album left a lot to be desired. Best - Heads Will Roll, Hysteric, Dragon Queen, and Little Shadow Worse - Zero, Shame and Fortune, and Runaway BARELY 3.00/5

It started off good with Blue Orchid but after that it just turns into a snooze fest. I wasn't a fan of Jack White's vocals it felt crude with no substance. Only positive thing I can say was that the real star of the show was the production. Other than that I wished that I had liked this album enough to give it a 3. Best - Blue Orchid Worse - The Nurse, My Doorbell, Passive Manipulation, I'm Lonely (But I Ain't That Lonely Yet) 2.50/5

Calm, soft, chill, and with some nice harmonies to top it off. This record was a bit of a sleeper but in a good way. Good vocals, solid production, and some decent lyrics. At some points I felt it was a bit too calm and soft that it got a little boring but not to the point that I'd just fall asleep. Very good background music if imma keep it a buck. Would listen again tbh. Best - Happy When It Rains, April Skies, and About You (MPF) Worse - No bad songs 3.25-3.50/5

An interesting concept album satirizing the advertising industry of those days. One of the best album covers I've seen in a minute. While I feel like they didn't do anything groundbreaking this was a nice record to listen to. Kinda like a shitpost in album form that actually sounds good but in 1967. I really liked goofy aspect of it and the not serious vibe it gives off. Very solid record. Best - Mary Anne With The Shaky Hand, Odorono, Our Love Was, and I Can See For Miles Worse - Tattoo and I Can't Reach You 3.25/5

This really is one of those albums that captures the vibe of 90s. The vocals, the lyrics, and the overall production all being exceptionally great. Alanis' voice took a little bit of time to warm up too but it really kept the experience interesting and captivating. So many hits on this along with some of the songs with less total listens being fire as well. Wonderful album, would listen again. Best - You Oughta Know, Hand In My Pocket, Right Through You, Forgiven, You Learn (MPF), Head over Feet, Mary Jane, and Not The Doctor Worse - No bad songs but Perfect and Wake Up are decent/ok 4.50-5.00/5

This album really exceeded my expectations. I was unaware of how thought-provokingly beautiful this record was gonna be. Lauryn's voice, the superb production, and the discussion of various social topics within the music all come together nicely. From start to finish, it was a joy listening to it all. The rendition of Can't Take My Eyes Off of You was fantastic. The song ending off the whole event that was this album was incredible and probably my favorite out of all I've heard. Nothing but positive things to say about this album. My ears were blessed today. Best - Lost Ones, Ex-Factor, To Zion, Doo Wop (That Thing), Superstar, Final Hour, I Used To Love Him, Forgive Them Father, Everything Is Everything, The Miseducation Of Lauryn Hill, Can't Take My Eyes Off of You. Tell Him (MPF) Worse - Absolutely no bad songs on this whatsoever 5/5

It was quite a rough listen if I'm going to keep it for a buck. Some interesting parts kept me intrigued, but this industrial metal album wasn't for me. The only song that I enjoyed was The Great Seal, which I thought was decent. Other than that, this album was a bit of a chore to listen to. I won't be coming back to this anytime soon. Best - The Great Seal Worse - Leben-Tod, FIAT, Trans-national 2.25-2.75/5

This is a pleasant 33 minutes of wonderful jazz music with elements of avant-garde and spirituality. The way the different instruments clash to produce a fantastic sound is unlike any other. The album definitely requires more than two listens. Still, John Coltrane's genius can not be understated. Best - A Love Supreme, Pt. I-IV Worse - N/A 4.75/5

This is a soothing, calming, and chill album. It was a good listen. It may not be as radical and crazy as some other albums here, but it succeeds in what it's trying to achieve. A balance of soft and clear vocals and delicate and graceful instrumentation accompany it. It ain't too shabby for Starbucks music. Best - Don't Know Why, Turn Me On, and Painter Song Worst - It all sounds the same fr 2.75-3.25/5

I have no words man. This is mega ass, holy fart. I can't believe a group of people got together and made this piece of shart of an album. Giving this a 1 is being generous. P O O 0.50-1.00/5

After hearing of this band's reputation, I was excited to listen to this album. The experimentation and collaborative effort of trying out different ideas is immaculate. It's slow at first, but it starts to pick up the speed as you get further into it. The song that ended the album was regrettably a rough listen, but the rest of the album more than makes up for its faults. I'd listen again. Best - Thought @ Work, The Seed (2.0), Break You Off, Quills, Complexity, and Rhymes and Ammo Worst - Water, Pussy Galore, and Thirsty! 3.50-4.00/5

This is a well-regarded album in the world of hip-hop, and for good reason. Chuck D's politically charged lyrics and commanding vocals in this record still bite after so many years. The overall message and theme within this album are legendary. There's a reason, after over 30 years, this is still one of the most influential hip-hop albums ever made. Best - Bring The Noise, Don't Believe The Hype, Show 'Em What You Got, Black Steel In The Hour Of Chaos, and Rebel Without A Pause Worse - Terminator X To The Edge Of Panic and Caught, Can We Get A Witness? YEAHH BOII 3.50-3.75/5

This is an interesting record, to say the least. I was intrigued by the woman singing this, as her voice came off as eccentric, but I got used to it by the second or third song. It was enjoyable, though, especially that last song where she gets explicit. The listening experience was decent. Best - Broken English, Guilt, The Ballad Of Lucy Jordan, and Why'd Ya Do It Worse - no bad songs 3.00-3.50/5

This album's influence is without question. From U2 to Nirvana to Weezer, these fellas inspired so many great bands that it can't be overlooked. It's a great album, a great listen, and solid vocals. Will listen again. Best - Here Comes Your Man, Monkey Gone To Heaven, Mr. Grieves, La La Love You, No 13 Baby, and Hey Worse - Tame and Gouge Away 4.0-4.25/5

This album really perplexed me. I had been trying really hard to understand what it was all about. I still haven't put my finger on it, but I know for a fact that I did not hate it. This was a good and pleasant listen. I'll definitely be listening to this again. Best - Everything In It's Right Place, How To Disappear Completely (MPF), Optimistic, In Limbo, and Motion Picture Soundtrack Worse - No bad songs 4.00-4.50/5

It's one of the best rap albums of the 00s. Excellent production, unique bars from Kanye, the fire features on this album, and hearing Kanye's personal story on how he got to where he was are inspiring. He may be a bit wacky these days, but the man's talent and influence across hip-hop can not be questioned. Best - All Falls Down, Jesus Walks, Slow Jamz, Breathe In Breathe Out, Through The Wire, Family Business, and Last Call Worse - no bad songs 5/5 P.S. Anyone who rates this man's album purely based on his actions and not the art itself is a sheep and has no free will.

It's an okay album. I didn't hate it, but I wish there was more nuance and diversity of sounds. It felt like she was following a similar formula with most of the songs here. The instrumentation was good, and the lyrical content was vast. Although her voice is a bit wild, it adds uniqueness and personality to the album. Best - Gloria: In Excelsis Deo, Redondo Beach, and Land: Horses / Land of a Thousand Dances / La Mer(de) Worst - Kimberly and Break It Up 3.00-3.25/5

This was a great listen. Having already heard The Weight I knew these fellas had bangers but man, I liked this a lot more than I thought I would. The vibes I got from this were immaculate. From the bluesy/R&B feel you get the moment you hear the first song to the psychedelic feel you get from the last song. The production on this is just so vibrant and fresh. I'll definitely be listening to this again. May these beautiful soulful men rest in peace. Best - Tears Of Rage, To Kingdom Come, In The Station, The Weight, We Can Talk (MPF besides the one named previously), Long Black Veil, Lonesome Suzie, and I Shall Be Released Worse - NO BAD SONGS 4.50-4.75/5

Can't really say much about it. It's iconic and it's got a decent amount of bangers. It has kinda soured on me over the years but it is not bad. I don't think it's a masterpiece but it still rocks as hard as you think it would. Best - Welcome To The Jungle, Paradise City, and Sweet Child O' Mine (MPF) Worse - no bad songs tbh but it feels like a majority of these songs just flow the same. Make of that what you will. 3.50-3.75/5

I was excited to see that I'd be listening to an indie rock/art pop album, but as soon as I heard that voice, my joy quickly turned to disappointment. This guy's voice can be good when he wants, but everything falls apart when he starts singing in falsetto. It really sucks. I like the instrumentation here, but the vocals ruin it. The lyrics on this, as well, are straight-ass. I know kids that aren't even in high school that can write better shit than this. "My boot, my boot, my boot, my boot up your asshole" is how I feel about this album. Best - All The King's Men and Two Dancers (i) Worse - The Fun Powder Plot, Hooting and Howling, and much more that I don't care to list. 2.25-2.50/5

A wonderfully exciting album from John Grant. Some very solid vocals as well as the overall production. There was some interesting dialogue to say the least which kept me engaged all the way through. Best - TC & Honeybear, Sigourney Weaver, It's Easier, Outer Space, Caramel, and Queen Of Denmark Worse - no bad songs 3.50-3.75

I've heard many good things about this beautiful black man, and I gotta say, this was a great listen. It's so full of promiscuity, passion, and straight fire. I listened to it several times, and my opinion on this has been sealed. Absolute GAS, I encourage anyone and everyone to listen to this banger. Best - Let's Go Crazy, Computer Blue (underrated asf, when that guitar hits at the second half that shit was so fire), When Doves Cry, I Would Die 4 U (MPF), Baby, I'm a Star, and Purple Rain Worse - No bad songs honestly 4.50-4.75/5

A fun and happy sounding album indeed. I enjoyed the african beats that encompasses the album but I can't help but feel a bit disappointed that there wasn't anything that might have added a bit more diversity of sounds among the production. Most of the album sounds the same even the lyrics are repeated multiple times but it was a nice listen anyway. Best - ??? Worse - nothing truly bad besides the songs sounding the same 2.75/5

A calm, somber, and yet soothing album. Nick Drake does so much with the 28 minutes of runtime. The production on here is fantastic and very memorizing. Looking at Nick's tragic history he really does embodying this album as a whole. A great listen through and through. Best - Pink Moon (MPF), Place To Be, Horn, Things Behind The Sun, and From The Morning Worse - No bad songs 4.50/5

This is the reason I LOVE and LIVE for music as a whole, this was wonderful to listen to. The first five songs going into this are extraordinary. There are absolutely no duds on here whatsoever. You can really feel the passion and fire that Van Morrison puts into these tracks. All of them having fantastic production as well as beautiful, poetic, and soulful vocals. After relistening to this a few times there is no doubt in my mind that I'll be happily listening to this for the rest of my life. Best - And It Stoned Me, Moondance, Crazy Love, Caravan, Brand New Day, Glad Tidings Worse - NONE 5/5

They weren't cappin when they said this record was "ethereal", it was quite a nice listen. I had no idea that Carole King had a hand in writing one of the songs on here which explains the wonderful lyrics. I wouldn't say this is a perfect record but it retained my attention throughout my time listening to it. Some great psychedelic rock for ya. Best - Goin Back, Draft Morning, Get to You, Change Is Now, and Tribal Gathering Worst - no bad songs 4.00/5

It started great with Blister In The Sun but after that I felt pessimistic towards the album. Then after a few tracks it began to grow on me. The overall themes of edginess and rebellion with a nice slice of rawness displayed on the album helped me understand it more and why many people enjoy this. Still on some of the songs here the vocals really made me want to die of cringe but it still had that weird ass charm to it ig. Best - Blister in the Sun, Add It Up, Confessions, To the Kill, Gone Daddy Gone, and Good Feeling Worse - Kiss Off, Please Do Not Go, and Promise 3.50-3.75/5

So many bangers on this man. I honestly can't believe I haven't listen to these fellas. The flute in particular makes the tracks really distinctive and unique The medieval/LOTR feel to it also goes really well. A fantastic listen through and through. Best - Aqualung, Cross-Eyed Mary, Cheap Day Return, Mother Goose, Up To Me, My God, and many more Worse - NONE 5/5

Now I will say I enjoy the erratic nature of the album but that enjoyment comes at the cost of replay value. You like at first but then it starts to get stale fast. There are some good songs on here but for most part it's just dated 60's track rock with some classic rock songs thrown into it. Best - The Witch, Have Love Will Travel, and Strychnine Worst - can't be bothered tbh 2.50/5

I can respect the genuine attempt at creating a cultural fusion type album but my god this got so boring so quick man. It's tries hard to portray itself as something deep and soul-guiding but it just comes across as shallow. Best - Visions of You Worse - can't be bothered 2.25/5

This album brings back a lot of good memories for me and it still holds up just as good as when I last listened to it. Billy Joel's voice brings in some great depth and flavor that is felt throughout the entire album. I really don't have anything negative to say about it besides one of the songs in particular (Only The Good Die Young) as being a bit overrated imo but even the less popular songs on here get their chance to shine. Just some great music here overall that I'll always enjoy. Best - Movin' Out (Anthony's Song), The Stranger, Just the Way You Are, She's Always A Woman, and Get It Right The First Time Worse - No bad songs besides a few being a bit overrated 4.50-4.75/5

I'm in the middle of the road for this one. Me personally I didn't really hate much about it but I didn't like much for this album either. The fun quirky bits in this are nice to listen to but it doesn't really do much for me. All I got from this was a bunch of oddballs making an oddball album with a goofy album cover to top it off. Rock Lobster will always be a bop tho. Best - Planet Claire, 52 Girls, Rock Lobster, Lava, and 6060-842 Worst - Dance This Mess Around and Downtown 2.50-3.00/5

A classic as always when it comes to CCR. I remember first listening to Green River playing GTA SA back in the good ole days when I didn't have to worry about being an adult. This song among many had a great influence on my music taste and I am forever grateful. Great album. Best - Green River (MPF), Bad Moon Rising, and Lodi Worst - no bad songs 3.50-3.75/5

Some fire disco music what more can one say. Groovy, catchy, and feel-good. Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards both elevate this album to its highest potential. Best - He's The Greatest Dancer, Lost In Music, Thinking Of You, We Are Family, and Easier To Love Worst - No bad songs 4.00/5

This was a rough listen, literally. The audio quality is notably just rough. I can respect what these fellas achieved but the entire album felt like a chore. Best - Summertime Blues Worst - Doctor Please, Parchment Farm, and Second Time Around 2.50/5

Pretty decent for thrash metal ngl. I was expecting worse but was instead pleasantly surprised. All the tracks flowed well and it kept hold of my attention for the most part. Best - Caught In A Mosh, I Am The Law, Efilnikufesin (N.F.L.), and Indians Worst - no bad songs 3.50/5

It started off good with the first track, towards the 2nd half of it when that trumpet started going retarded it kinda killed the vibe a lil but it was still good. As for the rest of this album I thought it was decent but nothing really remarkable. Best - All The Way From Memphis, Whizz Kid, Honaloochie Boogie, and I Wish I Was Your Mother Worst - no bad songs 3.25/5

This right here is a banger country-folk album. Not that crappy country pop that plays on the radio nowadays. This album has some great songwriting, beautiful tunes throughout its' entirety, and superb production. Neil Young paints colorful and deep paintings with these tracks, and I'm here to stay and enjoy all of them. Best - Only Love Can Break Your Heart (MPF), Southern Man, Oh, Lonesome Me, I Believe In You, and literally most if not all of this album. Worst - NOT A SINGLE MISS 4.50-4.75/5

Started off great with the first track then it mellowed out a bit throughout the album but I thought it was still a good listen. I was expecting something a bit more from the rest of the record. It ended off solidly with the two last songs though. Best - Party Line, Session Man, Sunny Afternoon, and I'll Remember Worst - no bad songs (although some were a bit of a drag) 3.00-3.25/5

This shit rocks man, the sonics on this entire album are just incredible. The opener kinda threw me off with how slow burning it felt but hearing it all come together was amazing. One of the best melodic, visceral, and thrashing hard rock albums I've ever heard. Best - Up The Beach, Ocean Size (MPF), Had a Dad, Standing in the Shower... Thinking, Summertime Rolls, and Jane Says Worst - NONE 4.75/5

Tommy the goat fr. Even though this was a bit of chore to listen to with the long runtime I'd still say that this was a pretty good listen. When it comes to concept albums in general I'll always have soft spot for them since some of my favorite albums are concept albums, plus it takes some balls to actually execute one solidly. This album definitely had some misses but the majority of the album was great. Best - 1921, Amazing Journey, Pinball Wizard, Go To The Mirror!, Welcome, and We're Not Gonna Take It Worst - Fiddle About, Sensation, I'm Free, and Tommy's Holiday Camp 3.50-3.75/5

First, the instrumentation is very well done. The album's overall vibe is weird but not bad. This album had no business being 76 minutes long; I had to lock in to finish listening to it. There are a few standouts here and there, but the album itself was good. That 76-minute runtime is almost unforgivable. Best - Double Vegetation, Safesurfer (MPF), Not Raving But Drowning, and Las Vegas Basement Worst - no bad songs 3.25-3.50/5

This was a real nice one to listen to. The fun, intriguing and unique melodies throughout the album were superb. Alongside the calm yet still commanding vocals it made for a great listen. Best - Sea Song, Rise, Melody Calls, Catch the Sun (MPF), and The Cedar Room Worst - no bad songs whatsoever 4.25-4.50/5

A iconic and influential record that still holds up after so many years. Everyone in the band plays their part perfectly. The OG of all heavy metal albums. Best - War Pigs, Paranoid, Planet Caravan, Iron Man, Hand of Doom, and Fairies Wear Boots Worst - no duds on this at all 4.50-4.75/5

As a Beach Boys fan it's crazy that up until now I hadn't listened to any of the members besides Brian. Dennis Wilson does a splendid job with the creation of the record. I would have expected that most of what would have be heard was mainly the Beach Boys sound but he brings his own original flare to it. You get hints of that sound throughout the album but it really is labor of love and passion from Dennis. The songwriting is fantastic and the various sounds he draws from other genres is really something. I can safely say that if you are a fan of The Beach Boys that you will like maybe even love this record. Best - Dreamer, Thought of You (MPF), Time, Pacific Ocean Blues, and Only With You Worst - no bad songs 3.75-4.00/5

Not gonna lie; I have an inherent bias to this since my folks come from the Caribbean, and I know for a fact my pops would definitely vibe to this. I'm not looking for any complicated melodies or intellectual lyrics when I listen to this. Instead, I close my eyes and teleport myself to late 14th century B.C. in Hispaniola when Christopher Columbus wasn't there to colonize the beautiful island and picture myself among the Taino people vibing out to this and spiritually taking it all the beautiful scenery, enjoying the culture and the delicious fruits. That being said, this shit slaps. Best - Billumba-Palo Congo, Asabache, Rhapsodia del Maravilloso, and Aggo Elegua (MPF) Worst - no bad songs 3.50-3.75/5

The intro track going into this album was a bit too crude for my taste and killed my enthusiasm. That was until I heard Starlight which to my surprise was decent. Most of the tracks here were just ok. I couldn't find anything to gush over and couldn't find anything to hate besides the first track. When I saw the overall rating for this I thought I was gonna be in for a hell of a ride. Instead I was handed a big Nothingburger. Best - Starlight Worst - Take a Bow 2.50/5

This album was interesting to say the least. The different languages being spoken on this was certainly impressive and unique but it was something that I did not care for at all. The vocals as well were a bit annoying at times and laughable. But it wasn't all bad, there were plenty of decent and catchy songs throughout the album. The listening experience was more enjoyable than the actual album itself. Best - Clandestino, Bongo Bong, Mentira, and La Despedida Worst - Lágrimas de Oro, and Welcome to Tijuana 2.50-2.75/5

Great listen. The fusion of many genres here is extremely well done. The organ and flute as far as the instruments are concerned carry the album for me. The vocal performance and the overall production are also quite amazing. Ya love to see it. Best - Glad, Empty Pages, Stranger To Himself, John Barleycorn (Must Die), and Every Mother's Son (MPF) Worst - No bad songs 3.75-4.00/5

Having never listened to a David Bowie album, this was a nice introduction to the man. The vocal performances from David never fail to impress. The man knows how to cook a great album even when he's on a cocaine binge. Love this man. Best - Word on a Wing (MPF), TVC15, Stay, and Wild is the Wind Worst - no bad songs 4.25/5

Green Onions (the song) is a hood classic. As for the rest I didn't mind but I wasn't mind blown. Good album overall. Best - Green Onions Worst - no bad songs 3/5

Solid album. There was a lot to like on this album. The production especially was a highlight for me and the good vocals made the album enjoyable to listen to. There wasn't anything that I found extraordinary about the album but I'd much rather listen to this than something like Screamo. Best - Mr. Tambourine Man, I'll Feel a Whole Lot Better, You Won't Have to Cry, All I Really Want to Do, and Don't Doubt Yourself, Babe Worst - No bad songs 3.50/5

A good rock album with some industrial sounds thrown into the mix. Best - Requiem, The Wait, S.O.36, and Change Worst - no bad songs but just a few on here that were mid 3.00-3.25/5

It's ight. Didn't hate it and didn't love it. Best - It's The End of the World As We Know It (But I Feel Fine) and The One I Love Worst - no bad songs besides some mid 2.75-3.00/5

Good. Best - Morning Dew, Beck's Bolero, and I Ain't Superstitious Worst - No bad songs 3.00-3.25/5

Had some decent songs in it, but as a whole this was MID. Only positive thing going for this was the production everything else was subpar. This album has no business being on this list. Best - Taper Jean Girl and The Bucket Worst - Milk, Soft, Razz, and Four Kicks 2.50/5

Pretty good. Superb vocals wit some great production, made for a great listen. Would recommend. Best - Lately, Secretly, Good Things Don't Come To You, and You'll Follow Me Down Worst - no bad songs 3.50-3.75/5

Easiest 5-star yet. The beginning of this album takes you for a slow and mellow ride with the nearly 5-minute intro. Then it fades into an absolute classic that is Black Magic Woman. After that, you get hit with another banger (Oye Como Va), and after that, an incredible psychedelic Latin jazz fusion jam that hits you out of nowhere. The tone switches, the slow hypnotic guitar, and the unbelievable percussion on this album are astonishing. Samba Pa Ti and the rest after it were high points for me. It ends with a percussion-heavy, almost tribal chant, which was the cherry on top. This shit was so beautiful from start to finish. Best - Black Magic Woman / Gypsy Queen, Oye Como Va, Incident At Neshabur, Se a Cabo, Samba Pa Ti (MPF), and El Nicoya Worst - no bad no mid not even good every song on this was GREAT 6/5

I didn't expect to not like this as much as since George Michael is usually loaded with bangers but man. This was a tad disappointing the production is outdated and at times quite corny. The entire album is corny as a matter of fact but I'm gonna give it a slight pass solely based on the vocals and George's aura. Best - Father Figure and One More Try Worst - I Want Your Sex Pts 1, 2 and 3 and Faith 2.75/5

There was nothing soulful or funky about this album. I suppose the message behind the music is meant with good intentions but this blows. The production is shit, the mixing is horrendous, and it felt so damn long for 56 minutes. The attempt at being "unapologetically black" is laughable. Piggybacking off the BLM movement this misses the mark so bad. A weak effort at trying to make something radical and inspiring. Best - Wildfires Worst - most of the album 1.50/5

There's so much variety in this album that for me personally I never get bored with it (even with the insane 31 songs on this). A rollercoaster if you will. With that being said falling asleep to Good Night on repeat while being fried off a penjamin was one of the more comforting experiences I'll cherish (the piano version is a tad bit better imo). The Beatles shall always reign supreme. Best - Dear Prudence (2nd), While My Guitar Gently Weeps (1st), Blackbird, Julia, Yer Blues, Helter Skelter (3rd), and Good Night Worst - Revolution 9 (it's a given if we're keepin it a buck) 4.75/5

They was puttin out bangers in 1956, I should have known. I don't usually listen to jazz every so often but this was great. Duke Ellington the goat. Best - Festival Junction, Jeep's Blues, and Diminuendo and Crescendo in Blue Worst - no bad songs 4.00/5

The runtime for this put me off a bit but I ended up enjoying this. Mick Jagger's vocals always shine through when he's at his peak and this album proves so. If someone were to ask me what would be my go to album rock and roll I'd definitely tell em all about this. Best - Rocks Off, Tumbling Dice, Ventilator Blues, Stop Breaking Down, and Shine A Light Worse - no bad songs 4.50/5

This was a solid listen. I really liked the slow pacing of it all. The melancholy mood throughout the album reminded me of Brian Wilson. There were some mid songs here and there but overall it was good. Best - How Can You Mend a Broken Heart, The Greatest Man in the World, Trafalgar, and Walking Back to Waterloo Worst - no bad songs 3.50/5

This is peak reggae. I came into this with high expectations and was not disappointed. I can't believe I haven't listened to this sooner. For 37 minutes this flew by quick, every song on this was a treat to listen to. Best - Natural Mystic, So Much Things to Say, Exodus, Jamming, Waiting in Vain, Three Little Birds, and One Love/People Get Ready Worst - no bad songs 4.75-5.00/5

Not something I would listen to in my free time but it was a fun listening experience. Best - Magical Dream, Ancodia, and Pacific 202 Worst - no bad songs 2.75-3.00/5

An absolute must listen to anyone who loves music. 10/10 will to again. Best - Breathe (In The Air), Time, The Great Gig In The Sky, Money, Us and Them, Brain Damage, and Eclipse Worst - every song on this is a masterpiece 6/5

Cookie-cutter rock music if I've ever heard combined with some egregious vocals. Best - everything is MID Worst - Little Room and Aluminum 2/5

I didn't hate it, but ultimately I just couldn't understand for the life of me what the album was all about. Even after having listened to it a few times it leaves me feeling confused more than anything. Best - Candy Says, Pale Blue Eyes, and After Hours Worst - no bad songs? 2.75-3.25/5

This album is soul-healing. It is my go-to album whenever I feel at odds with the world or seek peace and spirituality. There is no question that this album has influenced me as a person. The topics he speaks about are still relevant in today's world. The evil that we as a collective let foster throughout this world is unprecedented. The division I see daily in our world is heartbreaking. Albums like these always help me stay hopeful for the future—our future. Best - What's Going On, What's Happening Brother, Flyin' High (In The Friendly Sky), God Is Love, Mercy Mercy Me, Inner City Blues (Makes Me Wanna Holler) Worst - absolutely no bad songs 6/5

Honestly, for me personally this was overwhelming to listen to from a production standpoint. There is A LOT going on in this. From the boisterous piano to the exquisite orchestra you really get put front and center into the chaotic world of this band. However, as glorious and awe-inspiring as this album was I really don't see myself listening to this in my everyday life. It was still a heck of an experience to listen to though. Best - Neighborhood #1 (Tunnels), Crown of Love, Wake Up, Rebellion (Lies), and In The Backseat Worst - no bad songs 3.50/5

Great listen. I was expecting more but I know that not every album is gonna be a masterpiece. This has some solid songs throughout to compensate. David Bowie's sound never deteriorates and it just keeps going forward. Best - Changes, Oh! You Pretty Things, Life on Mars, Quicksand, and Song for Bob Dylan Worst - Eight Line Poem and Andy Warhol 3.50-3.75/5

This album was honestly way better than I expected. It has some notably catchy songs being the first two but the overall sound is really something I admire. The charm that Beck brings into the album really establishes a cohesive well thought-out album. Great listen! Top 3 Favorites: Que' Onda Guero, E-Pro, and Emergency Exit Top 3 Worst: none 3.75-4.00/5

One of the most wishy-washy albums I've heard so far. I'm sure there is plenty to like about this album but I really couldn't gauge what PJ was going for on this album. The poetry/lyricism felt tacky and mediocre for a majority of the album. The vocals also seemed substandard. Idk man listen to the first 15-30 secs of England and you tell me if that slaps. The production was at least very solid but besides that it was all mid. Top 3 Fav: no favorites 1.75-2.25/5 Top 3 Worst: England (solos), Bitter Branches, and Written On The Forehead

A wonderful album throughout its entirety. It's soulful, introspective, and rhythmically astonishing the way all the instruments bounce off each other. It has all qualities of masterfully made album. Simply beautiful. Top 3 Fav: All Blues, Blue in Green, and Flamenco Sketches Top 3 Worst: no bad songs at all 4.50-4.75/5

For a 70's disco pop record it was about what I expected. It had lots of fun and catchy songs throughout. The synergy between the two singers really elevates the overall sound and feel of it all. Even less popular songs on it were fun to listen to. Top 3 Fav: Fernando, Dancing Queen, and Knowing Me, Knowing You Top 3 Worst: no bad songs 4.00-4.25/5

After finding the first song on this album unamusing I knew I was in for some mid. I didn't really hate it but I just couldn't find anything sticking out to me. Just the same shit over and over again :/ 2.5/5

First off, I must say Solomon's voice carries so damn hard. That shit is immaculate. It's rare that I find a bad soul album from this particular decade and this is without exception. Great album! Top 3 Fav: Cry to Me, Won't You Give Him (One More Chance), and Hard, Ain't it Hard Top 3 Worst: no bad songs 3.50-3.75/5

This album had its fair share of highs and lows. I liked how it started with their first song (Stand!) but that second track kinda halted the momentum for me. They could've at least switched up the lyrics at bit more instead saying the same shit for like 3 mins, maybe give it something with more substance. But luckily they pick it back up with the third track. I liked a majority of the tracks on here. Sex Machine was a bit too long for my liking but at least it was tolerable. Overall it was a good album but it definitely could've been better. Top 3 Fav: Sing A Simple Song, Everyday People, and Stand! Top 3 Worst: Don't Call Me Nigger, Whitey, Sex Machine and that's it fr 3.25-3.50/5

It's a decent album as far as 80's synth pop can be. There wasn't much nuance but at least it was somewhat fun to listen to. Top 3 Fav: Georgia. Souvenir, and She's Leaving Top 3 Worst: no bad songs besides a few songs being mid 2.75-3.00/5

Had at least 3 solid songs but the entire album felt a bit monotonous. The production was at least able to make up for some its the shortcomings. A dated masterpiece. Top 3 Fav: Live Forever, Slide Away, and Supersonic Top 3 Worst: no bad songs besides a few songs that were mid 2.75-3.00

I didn't hate it but it just wasn't my cup of tea fr fr. Top 3 Fav: no bad no good Top 3 Worst: no bad no good 2.5/5

I'm a big fan of Bigmouth Strikes Again. A cool song and a cool fella but more importantly the album was a solid listen. Some of the track had the same formula to to it but it was still fun to listen to. Top 3 Fav: Bigmouth Strikes Again, There is A Light That Never Goes Away, and The Boy With The Thorn In His Side Top 3 Worst: no bad songs 3.50/5

Artistically, this album was densely packed with vibrant and interesting sounds that really makes it stand out. The Indian samples were also a cool touch that added flavor and depth to the tracks. With it being diverse it definitely requires an acquired taste since I can see how many people would put this off since it sounds so different. With that being said I personally don't see myself listening to this album religiously but a few of these songs are definitely going in the playlist. Top 3 Fav: Come Around, Paper Planes, and Boyz Top 3 Worst: no bad songs 3.25/5

On one hand, I respect the experimentation on this album, but on the other, I can't see any of its value. It was annoying and unpleasant to listen to at times, but mostly, it just confused me. Don't get me wrong; there are some good songs on here, but I wish the experimenting that went on didn't feel so lackluster. Top 3 Fav: My Back Pages, So You Want To Be A Rock 'N' Roll Star, and Have You Seen Her Face Top 3 Worst: C.T.A. - 102, Thoughts And Words, and Mind Gardens 2.50/5

I really expected something better than what I got. I do enjoy fusion albums; in fact I love fusion albums but only when they are done right. A shitty blend of funk, rock, and rap with no drive that leaves a sour taste in your mouth. Not to mention the nonsensical goofy ass lyrics (take a good look at the lyrics for Sir Psycho Sexy and you'll know) and the mediocre vocal performance. Although some of the production I thought was decent, the guitar specifically for me, and the bass as well but it can not make up for everything that I previously mentioned. Lame ahh album. Top 3 Fav: It's all mid no good songs Top 3 Worst: Sir Psycho Sexy (Easily the worst), Give it Away (Close 2nd), and Suck My Kiss 1.50/5

Tolerable garbage but still garbage. 1.25-1.50/5

It started off good with the opener but besides a very few tracks it didn't get much better. I liked the vibe the album was going for but the punches didn't land like I thought they would. Overall, it's ight. Top 3 Fav: Kinky Afro, God's Cop, and Holiday Top 3 Worst: no bad songs 2.75-3.25/5

It's so inoffensive that it's offensive. It's not a bad album; the opener was pretty good, but besides one song, the whole album felt so stagnant. Top 2 Fav: I.G.Y. and The Nightfly Top 3 Worst: most if not all the songs are mid 2.5-2.55/5

After a couple of listens, I've started to understand the sentiment encompassing the album. It's depressingly poetic but still gorgeous. The sonics on this were great combined with gloomy vocals from Elliott. A masterful inspective piece of art. Top 3 Fav: Alameda, Between the Bars, and Say Yes Top 3 Worst: no bad songs 4/5

Peak 70's rock. God bless cocaine and sex. Top 3 Fav: Dreams, You Make Loving Fun, and I Don't Want To Know No misses 4.75/5

As a McCartney glazer myself, this was a nice relisten. Paul's amateurish qualities really help the album. Although some of the songs are lackluster in quality overall, you end up with a more personal and informal piece of work, which I love. Plus, when you hear the songs that do hit, it makes up for some of the mid that is on here. Top 3 Fav: Junk, Every Night, and Maybe I'm Amazed Top 3 Worst: no bad songs but their was some mid 3.50/5

It started off great with the first few songs but the momentum never came back. You're just left with a one-sided monotonous sound that doesn't really go anywhere. There are some really great tracks on here but I expected something more. On top of that you gotta deal with those corny ass lyrics. Very good but still a tad bit disappointing. Top 3 Fav: Fuck Tha Police, Gangsta, Gangsta, and Express Yourself Top 3 Worst: Dopeman - Remix, 8 Ball - Remix, and I Ain't Tha 1 3.50/5

It's peculiar. It's weird, but ultimately, it's just not good. 2.50/5

Some good songs are on here, and the overall production was pretty decent. I'd be lying though, if I said I didn't fall asleep to this album a couple of times. Not too shabby. Top 3 Fav: Colorado, Johnny's Garden, and Song of Love Top 3 Worst: nothing notable 3.25-3.50/5

decent but it's a tad bit wishy washy

It's pretty good. It had its ups and downs, but it was a solid listen for the most part. It was either I was sleeping or vibing, but with confidence, it was most definitely both. Top 3 Fav: Uh Oh, Love Come To Town, Don't Worry About the Government, and Psycho Killer Top 3 Worst: no bad songs 3.00-3.25/5

A decent album, but not decent enough to warrant a 1 hr and 13 min listen. There are some good songs on here but man I'd be lying if said I didn't fall asleep a few times listening to this. It's about what you would expect from a Marvin Gaye record. Soulful singing with some whining thrown in there but overall making for a memorable listening experience. Top 3 Best: When Did You Stop Loving Me, When Did I Stop Loving You, Anna's Song, and A Funky Space Reincarnation Top 3 Worst: no bad songs 3.25-3.50/5

They got better albums but this is still pretty good.

So many bangers on here man. There really isn't anything to dislike besides The Lemon Song to a certain degree but other than that goated album. Top 3 Best: Ramble On, Heartbreaker, and Thank You Top 1 Worst: The only slightly mid song on here is The Lemon Song. The lyrics are corny and suggestive but the production carries so damn hard that I truly don't think it's bad.

Paul Weller's charm really comes through on this album. I didn't expect much but the infectious pop punk vibe on album said otherwise, this was really something. Notably I liked the bass on Start! heavily inspired by Taxman. Very good album. Top 3 Best: Set the House Ablaze, That's Entertainment, and Man in The Corner Shop Top 3 Worst: no bad songs 3.55/5

I was expecting a tad bit more from this. There are some phenomenal songs on here but if we include the filler the quality goes down slightly. Cutting a few songs on here would have made this way better. The subject matter gets a bit stale here and there. That being said I wouldn't say that are any bad songs on here (not even mid). I'm conflicted on this but overall this was a great listen and I highly recommend that anyone who enjoys hip-hop should listen to this (if you haven't already). Top 3 Best: Dear Mama (easily), So Much Tears, and Can U Get Away (so underrated) Top 3 Worst: no bad songs 4.50/5

Aged worse than I thought it did. Still a fair amount of bangers though. 3.5/5

After the Gold Rush > Harvest

Off the wall and fun. 3.5/5

A solid album across the board, there is really ain't much hate about this. This is what you should expect above average 80's music to sound like. 3.75-4.00/5

I like me some blues from time to time but this album just grew stale on me and took a while for me to get back into it. Didn't hate it, didn't love it.

I really loved the melancholy feel to the album more than I could express. It really struck a chord for some reason. The mix of classical music and rock was also really nice. Underrated ahh album.

Classic early 2000's hip hop with great rhymes and an awesome set of artists.

A memorable ensemble who's chemistry flows so damn well with each other. An all-around good time.

Pretty chill kinda boring tho.

It didn't resonate with me all that well. The beginning of it was pretty rough although some of the songs throughout the album were at least decent. The underlying themes of darkness, brutalism, and all the sort I didn't care for. On top of that you add the harsh (hard liquor without a chaser) vocals and the industrial production you basically get what is expected in this type of genre. I'll at least acknowledge that there were definitely some aspects of the production that separate it from the rest but I mean other than that this album was just not my cup of tea.

This album grew on me quite a bit. At first the peculiar vibe left me a bit disconnected from it but when you really dive into it you get to see something really special. The production on this was phenomenal, the meticulous detail on the marvelous sounds, and the poetic lyrics it adds a great depth that I couldn't quite see in my previous listens. Very solid. 4.50-4.75/5

not bad. 2.75/5

Oliver's Army slaps, as for the rest of this album it simply does not compare.

Probably my favorite album from these fellas so far, it's such a strong debut.

It's just your typical 80s synth-pop with some disco grooves and other intriguing instrumentation. The album itself has an exaggerated feel, and I love that. Now, by no means would I say this is peak, but if you enjoy some 80s pop music, then you're going to love this! Top 3 Favorites: Show Me, Poison Arrow, and Tears Are Not Enough No bad songs fr. 3.50-3.75/5
