Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music

Popular Reviews

Is this on the list so we know what bad music is?

If I could give it a zero I would. An album about a middle aged man in a relationship with a 14 year old should not be allowed on the list - no way his estate is getting streaming royalties from me.

A masterclass in 'Vibe-core' that finally answers the question: What if we took the 2020s trend of minimalist pop and distilled it until it was functionally a white noise machine? Produced by Jack Antonoff (who apparently now holds the exclusive patent on 'Hushed Pianos and Whispering'), this album is so mid-tempo it makes Calexico sound like Speed Metal. It’s the ultimate 'Recency Bias' inclusion—the musical equivalent of a 'Live, Laugh, Love' sign in a billionaire’s guest house. If this is a 'Must-Hear Before You Die,' I’d like to formally request an extension on my life so I can spend that 45 minutes listening to a genre the editors actually forgot existed: Disco.

Great album!

Very experimental, very David Bowie. All good things!

Such a great album

Like I was transported back to an angry dance floor in the 1990s. I am here for it and loved it.

For not being a lover of hip hop, I truly appreciated this album and its contribution to music.

They sound like Coldplay, or does Coldplay sound like them?

Worst album ever.

This is reminiscent of listening to drunks singing karaoke in Korea town at 3am.

I didn’t like this album 20 years ago, and I find it insufferable 20 years later.

Category is generic rock

Generic, hotel lobby jazz.

I would have preferred a Michael Bublè album.

Generic

Talking about having sex with a 15 year old girl. How is this acceptable? If I could give it a zero, I would.

Generic rock

Would have been a 4 but for the length

If I could give this album a 6, I would.

Is this on the list so we know what bad music is?

This must have made the list to remind the world that white British rappers are awful.

If I could give it a zero I would. An album about a middle aged man in a relationship with a 14 year old should not be allowed on the list - no way his estate is getting streaming royalties from me.

🥱

Unclear why this is on the list. Standard 2000s blah music.

This really is a tale of two albums. Part of the album is pure magic (Womderwall, Don't Look Back in Anger, Champagne Supernova), but the other part is just noise. In retrospect, do I think the pure magic songs are that way because this album defined my freshman year of high school? Things to ponder, but a solid 3.

This album was released 20 years too early. This would have been a very successful album in the early 90s. I enjoyed it very much.

Did the editors of the list actually listen this album? I assume not because had they, it wouldn't have been included.
