4/5
funky, just as i expected it to be
not to sound like an old man but modern musicians should go back to fucking around with panning effects again. why don't we experimental with stereo sound anymore. this album has so many parts in it where a single instrument is panned to one ear and like background vocal is panned to the other side. it weird aid the in the groove and rhythm of the music its kind of fun.

2/5
- one track in and i already hate his voice. he sounds so bored it doesn't match the music at all
- this sucks i hate this
- ten tracks in and finally said not one but two slurs back to back!!!!!!!!!!!
- despite the use of slurs, this my favorite tracks, its so fucking unhinged. wish the album kept up this energy
- Theres a bonus track on the spotify release and I actively celebrately when I realized i didn't need to listen to it.
this is the shit i'd imagine 63 year geezer barry would put on the juke box at the ye old pub and wild out to. Too bad I am 18 year old canadian who is incapable of understanding most of the british centered humor on this album. I would turn a blind to that if the music wasn't ass, ts suck so much holy shit.

3/5
i fw with chamber pop so im already excited. big music genre descriptor has me worried that this is gonna start sounding like imagine dragon or some other bs arena pop-rock anthem band/songs/album
- first two tracks had crazy sound selection, felt like it was really pushing the boundries of indie rock; unlike anything i've ever heard very good songs
-track 3 is what i expecting from this record. not nearly as experimental but still cool regardless
-track 4 fs feels like a continuation of the dense and experimental sounds from first two "neighborhood tracks". i can definitley hear where the big music genre desprictor came from on rym, and surprisingly im not hating it as much as I though I was. its not super corny and overproduced. actually id argue its overproduced in a good way if that makes any sense cool shit
- i liked track 5 i just wasn't paying attention tbh
- track 6: i like this one, not as experimental but still very enjoyable
- track 7: the arena chant at the beginning has me worried, this might the albums first miss. yeah i don't really like how triumphant this track is trying to be. the lyriscm isn't strong enough to justify this significantly less interesting production on this track. this is what i was worrying that this album would sound like. oh no stomp and holler, stop please god no, ik for a fact this album already did ts, but that transition was not subtle at alll
- track 8: production sounds a bit washed out in weird, definitley intentionally. i like the song, but it still kind of feels like a poor attempt at making something perhaps a bit psychedelic of sorts idk why i writing like this
- track 9: idk about this one, its just a bit off to me idk
- track 10: intro vocals remind me of bjork a bit
for "millennial stomp and holler", i didn't hate this as much as i thought i would. the experimentation on the first few track is cool and for sure interesting to listen to, but it sounds very overproduced. The songs without the crazy dense production struggle to be as engaging as the as for mentioned first few track. Still very enjoyable but flawed
Al Green
4/5
i know al green because he was referenced in that one kanye song
track 1: good but i'll probably not return to it much if i i'm being honest. for some reason this tracks album art on spotify has slightly different color grading than the rest of the tracks on this album and it really confusing me.
track 2: i felt this one idk how to explain it but i felt it
track 7: this smooth as fuck goddamn. not that other tracks are bad, but i wish they were all smooth and subdue like this one. however i feel like that would get old if im being honest. i like how this one stands out a bit in this tracklist
track 8: surprised to find only one song that sampled this on whosampled.com, that intro so sample worthy
I don't listen to a lot of soul, so I don't have much frame of reference on whether or not this is "good" soul, however sound-wise this is great. Al's vocals are wonderful, production feels a little dated, but that's expected from an album from the 70s. But those smoother tracks like How Can You Mend a Broken Heart and Judy are timeless (and my favorites on the album).
The Mamas & The Papas
3/5
predicting it now, im not gonna like this one
track one - this sounds awful on streaming. i know the original vinyl version is probably better. the panning is so off and the vocal are way too loud
reading up on their history as group is way more interesting than album itself. these mfs freaky asl. fuck you john nasty ass pos
its alright i guess, however i will likely never return to this album
The Velvet Underground
5/5
been on my listening list for a minute now, glad i finally have an excuse to listen
- so far i've enjoyed every track with nico on lead vocals
- venus in fur is fucking crazy. weird asf, can't imagine how it must've sounded in the 60s when it first came out
- the guitar solos on run run run is sick af. they sound awful in a good way idk how to explain it
- love the way the tempo on heroin swells to correspond with the lyriscm. whenever lou reed references taking shot of heroin the beat speeds up, thats sick af. this a song is perfect holy shit
i feel 1960s (somewhat) mainstream weird doesn't really translate well to 2020s weird. This album still hold up today surprisingly. Heroin induced noise rock bullshit fuck yes. Some tracks are for sure more experimental than other, but even the more contemporary tracks manage to still be engaging despite them significant less interesting than the wack ass shit like Heroin and Venus In Fur. Lou Reed is a crazy good song writer, and Nico offers soothing break from the noisy chaos that is this record.

Kate Bush
4/5
Erm this the stranger thing album! Frick yea. Real talk im intrigued
- track one is really good but its mad overplayed
- side A was good but i don't have much to say about it
-side b is far more interesting and weird
Overall, a very good 80s progressive pop record. You best of both worlds: Side A got bangers and Side B is super weird and whimsical.
Animal Collective
4/5
idk why the rating so low. this is great sober and probably life changing high. Me and the hatman finna get turnt to this shit i jus gotta pop 12 benedryls first. this album is for realer geekers ONLY
Aphex Twin
4/5
First Listen: 06/07/2023
First album I got on here that I've already heard before! Idk it cool instrumental album. kind of goes in one ear and out the other, but like in a good way. It's peak background music
Stevie Wonder
5/5
more songs need to be in the key of life god damn this is good
The Undertones
3/5
its alr ig idk. not really my thing
Emerson, Lake & Palmer
3/5
they really made a symphonic prog rock cover of a Russian suite from 1874, and all the music on it sounds like SNES music (it came out in 1971 pre-dating the SNES by like almost two decades). Truly a one of a kind of a kind experience that I'll probably not want to experience if I'm being entirely honest.
Cool album though. The synths sound really dated and silly, but in my opinion it makes this record more charming. I'm not going to get much replay value out of this for me unfortunately.
U2
3/5
dad music. not really for me but i can see the appeal
Yeah Yeah Yeahs

all ik about the yeah yeah yeahs, is that evilgiane sampled them on polo perks classic mixtape punk goes drill.
big fan of the crazy ass vocals on here. Makes a lot of these tracks a whole lot more interesting. me likey
Caetano Veloso
3/5
he giving me that real goon stare
Barry Adamson

TV On The Radio
4/5
cool blend of indie rock and weird electronic shit. very well executed and feels kind of unique, at least it does to me. theres probably other albums that do this exact thing, but this is my first time experiencing it. i fw it
Arcade Fire
3/5
i've only heard their first album, Funeral, and it seems like they've traded the strange experimentation for consistency. every track is the same level of okay, and for that its definitely more boring than their first for me. still alright though, I've heard way worse albums on this site
X-Ray Spex

i was worried this was gonna be another basic run of the mill 80s hard rock album. It kind of is, the but the little bits of funk thrown in here keeps it interesting and refreshing.

Guns N' Roses

i always hate getting these 80s hard rock albums but i almost always enjoy them. badass af album and pretty fun, although i'll probably never listen to it again

whoa a recentish album
she made royals and i think thats pretty cool
Metallica
3/5
mane ion wanna listen to this shit
this album is making realize how awesome nu-metal is i wish this was nu-metal. if linkin park made this album would be eating it up
do not want to meet the person who favorite track on this album is don't tread on me. NO FUCKING WAY THIS IS THE ORIGIN FOR THE GADSEN WTF LMAOOOO. they created a monster thats so bad holy shit i feel so bad for them (after more research they became the anthem for the gadsen and it was just a coincidence, crazy)
B.B. King
4/5
made the creamiest mac and cheese i've had in my entire life while listening to this
i fw this more than i thought i would
John Martyn

cool and creative album sonically, crazy that this from the 70s. dudes got really weird vocals but I don't mind them. sick ass album art too. what a hidden gem

No way they got me listening to 2 hour long album
good if you have a lot of free time
Talking Heads
3/5
probably not for me. don't really get the appeal
Incubus
4/5
i love the nu metal scratches wish there were more of that on here. still great though enjoyed this way more than i was initially expecting to
The Velvet Underground
4/5
loved their previous album, expecting to love this one too. While I enjoyed Nico's presence on their last album, she felt pretty out of place on the album considering the album mostly dominated by the Velvet Underground rock songs. So listening to the Velvet Underground on their own is gonna be interesting to hear.
somehow less accessible than their previous work. This is such boundary pushing music, its so crazy experimental and out there. Like their last album it still holds up surprisingly well in a modern context. This with some 60s heroin is something that i wish i could've experience, however i was born in 2006 and have been scared of drugs ever since I greened out on like 20mg weed edible.
Morrissey
2/5
veteran by jpegmafia, track 16
Moby
3/5
some really cool ideas however it overstays its welcome if im being honest. I was done with this album by track 8. crazy that there is an extended version that doubles the track list to 34 songs. Jealous of the fans of this album because they got a lot of music to enjoy. unfortunately im not one of them
Billy Bragg
3/5
DEFINITLEY not my thing. nothing bad about it, i just dont really like country/folk if i'm being honest. i liked california stars though that track was kind of nice
David Holmes
3/5
Album kind of reminds me of the ratchet and clank ost for some reason
Its not that bad. Im not super familiar with breakbeat music so if the generally considered to be bad breakbeat, then consider intrigued by more highly regarded breakbeat albums
As for this one: There's some interesting and creative production on here, however most of the album feels a little drab. Nothing horrible though.
Marvin Gaye
4/5
i forgot he made that song
sexy af
omg kanye sampled distant lover thats so cool
454 SAMPLED JUST TO KEEP YOU SASTISFIED! PLEASE LISTEN TO 4 REAL BY 454 ITS SOO GOOOOOOOOD
3/5
cool ig
Feels like something that should be right up my alley. However this isnt really doing much for me idk why
Bob Marley & The Wailers
4/5
whenever i listen to reggae all I think about is that one time my white uncle to me and my cousins on drive in his beaten up bush car around the forest trails at my grandpas cottage. He pressed play on the cd player in the car and it was just some random reggae comp cd. So we were just barreling down trails in the wood at like 100km/h while blasting bob marley or something like that idk.
albums cool ig, but i don't get much out of it. reggae not really my thing, but i can see the appeal
A Tribe Called Quest
4/5
FIRST LISTEN: 06/13/2023
thought it was kind of overrated on first listen. but i still enjoyed it.
my main exposure to jazz rap is from more modern artists like The Alchemist, Madlib, MF Doom, etc. who tend to sample jazz for their beats. This album feel like Jazz rap in the literal sense. No instrumentals are bad, but they're all really minimal, resulting in a lot of beats on the album sounding very samey to me. The rapping is pretty good I guess. I wish i enjoyed this album more if im being honest, but i don't really get it tbh
ZZ Top
2/5
i do not want to listen to this shit. i almost gotta concussion today, i lowkey wish i was hospitalized so i didn't have to listen to this
nvm they made the duck dynasty theme this actually the best album ever
albums not even that bad, i just don't like out of 80s/70s hard rock album. i get like nothing out of them, they all sound the same to me. Unfortunately I'm not a 50+ balding white dad wielding a spatula in one hand, a budlight in the other manning a grill at family barbeque and actually a bisexual he/they black kid sitting in a dorm at a liberal arts school. if i was i would probably love this album. this shit aint made for me idk what to say
Maxwell
5/5
my mom had this cd in her collection, its been on my listening list for a minute now.
my friend was in my room looking at my cd collection which mostly were given to me from my parents old collection. He was looking and said "Your parents probably conceived you to one of these album". Really funny and gross comment and worst part is, the more I listen to their CDs from their collections its starting to seem likely that he was right. skin crawlingly disgusting to think about and its lowkey kind of ruining the music for me
ignoring that this album is so unbelievably smooth. Soul/RNB is at its best when it smooth as hell in my opinion and this album proves me right. He did a call pussy a "Dark World" at one point in the album, so it definitely far from perfect, however its still an enjoyable listening experience. Its a shame I put listening to this CD sooner. im gonna give a 5/5 on this website but it like more of a 4.4987/5 in my opinion and im not gonna elaborate
Aretha Franklin
4/5
good
Air
5/5
french people and silly synths. a combination that has never done me dirty
T. Rex

idk why this feels a lot more laid back then most glam rock i've listened. i like it, its a good vibe
Queen
4/5
its queen ofc its good
Elvis Costello & The Attractions
2/5
this is longest 47 minutes i've ever felt in my life omg make it end
it might be just because i hate this guys voice but i feel like its a little too loud in the mix
Massive Attack
4/5
the guy who this 1001 album book has excellent taste in trip-hop
this album makes me want to relisten to low end theory by a tribe called quest. idk why but i feel like I'll appreciate it more after listening to this despite them entirely unrelated
Yes
4/5
YES GOOD PROG ROCK (i think i havent listened to this yet) they made that one song from jojo and i like that song a lot
love how silly symphonic prog sounds. i've never listened to symphonic prog album that doesn't sound like 16-bit era video game music
Death In Vegas
4/5
really cool blend of trip-hop and rock, although it does seem to lose a bit of its creativity in the second half. but the first half is killer, really cool production
Stan Getz
4/5
Found out that a stan getz song is on the whiplash soundtrack. That song isn't on this album but its still cool i fucking lovvee whiplash
I also love bossa nova what a great genre of music
Mj Cole

my dad would love this album. i like probably for that reason alone, it reminds me of him.
George Michael
3/5
ts sorta borring
The Magnetic Fields
2/5
one off from being my 69th album, what missed opportunity
three hours long, this better be the best album i've ever heard
i tired asf i had two long ass lectures today and an assignment due tonight and i wanna nap sb, but i started this three hour album first and i hate listening to album in multiple sessions so now i stuck listening to this while doing an assignment i dont want to do. this sucks its not even bad, i just know that it gonna go on like this for another two hours and thats fucking dreadful to think about. I kind of hate how some of the tracks make fun of other genres like jazz and punk, ik its a joke but it feels so lame and unfunny.
i gave up, im taking a break
i forgot i have to finish this fucccccccccckkk im not even halfway through the second disk. The songs with the girl singing sound like that new cindy lee album if it sucked. Listen to Diamond Jubilee if you want to listen to a good long ass album. Papa was Rodeo feels like a bad dean blunt and johanne robertson song at the end. i don't like this album
finally on the last disk yippeeee. i finished my assignment before i finished this album im gonna kms make it fucking end theres still 11 songs left holy shit i cant do it anymore
it went to go brush my teeth and i ACCIDENTLY forgot to pause the album a missed like four tracks whoops
the albums alright i suppose
Pixies
4/5
Mr grieves was the name of the pedophille gym teacher at my school m that song caught me off guard i didnt see the title
Simon & Garfunkel
4/5
i liked paul simons self title album so interested in what he sounds like with good ol garfunkel
btw art garfunkel might be top 5 names ever, his parents cooked with that name choice
Sparks
4/5
i fw how theatrical the vocals which is weird cuz i usually hate that
this is cool but i'll probably never return to it ever again.
this kind of gives me a supertramp vibe for some reason. i think that's why i like it
Run-D.M.C.

still don't really like old hip-hop too much, but this i don't mind. Its fun, i see the appeal. enjoyable listen

some interesting experiments on here, but most tracks are misses.
U2

Siouxsie And The Banshees
4/5
this looks cool i like the album art a lot
ts rocks i love it. great atmosphere and production, definitely gonna return to this someday. its exactly what i would want from a 80s gothic rock record
Rush
3/5
one track being good is typically a bad sign for an album but when that one song is half your albums run time, its different. first track is def a must hear, you can skip the rest
Elvis Costello
3/5
hated the last album i heard from him. this is definitely more enjoyable
i hate to say it but this is kind of good
Malcolm McLaren
2/5
ew. this guy really just plagiarized a bunch of south African music. bro you could've just sampled it wtf. no royalties or credit given to the original musicians too.
knowing the context behind this album is making it hard for me to enjoy. Ignoring it the music is alright i guess.

The Roots
4/5
hell yeah i love the roots
not that the production on Things Fall Apart is bad, its very good actually, but I kind of prefer this sound over the cleaner jazz instrumentals. Its a lot more creative and out there, borderline experimental and because of that it kind of appeals to me more. production kind of reminds me of Pharrell idk how to explain.
might be my favorite roots album ngl
Hugh Masekela
5/5
Minawa is peak, such a beautiful song.
Probably my favorite jazz album i gotten from this site
Slightly unrelated but hugh was sampled on Riot! by earl sweatshirt and knowing that makes me like this album more despite the song that was sampled not being on this album
Jeru The Damaja
4/5
this looks fire af
big fan of the spotify campus videos on most of the songs on this album. its just jeru old ass dancing in front of a blue background. its not even format for a cellphone screen aspect ratio its just a 16:9 video at the center of the screen with black filling the blank space.
the beat on My Mind Sample samples the same song as sparkdala by quasimoto, but it turns out there's like a million different songs that sample that one song, interesting.
dj premieres beats are grimy as hell and deru spits on every track. good shit usually i don't like old hip-hop but this appeals to me i like it a lot.
Kings of Leon
1/5
this kinda sucks ngl
The Cars
4/5
pretty good ig. i understand why my mom would own a compilation cd of their best songs
for an album from the 70s the synths actually don't feel very dated. there some really cool modern-ish synth design on here its really impressive tbh.
David Bowie
4/5
DAVID BOWIE YIPPEEEE
hes such a legend rip fr
stay kind of sounds like song off the new geordie greep album (sry for making the comparisson)
Jorge Ben Jor
4/5
funk is one of those genre i think about and assume is trash but then i actually listen to it and it's peak. i'm really feeling this album idk why this is so good
the groove on this album is crazy. i have know when if I'll ever relisten to this but this first listen was very enjoyable. one of the best samba albums i've ever heard
Orbital
3/5
its alright
all these weak ass idm albums that this websites been giving me have made be realize how good aphex twin is.
i like the marimba sounding synth thing on science friction a lot the way it bounces around my ears is very enjoyable not gonna lie
Supergrass
3/5
THEY SMOKED A WHAT!?!?
(ik its old british slang shutup)
Public Enemy
4/5

Flavour Flav kind of sounds like a more chilled out westside gunn

New greep album shitty theatrical bs like this obsolete
Mudhoney
3/5
didn't know there were EPs where on the 1001 albums list
i mean its alright
Guided By Voices
4/5
really good idk why the ratings for this are so low this website
slacker rock is such a good genre. feel like more rock focused cindy lee album (particularly Diamond Jubilee, listen to that album its really good)
really does feel like old rock radio station late at night as small child (so like early 2010s for me. if that makes you feel old its cuz you are)
Beatles
4/5
wild honey pie is an all time classic, peak beatles
Digital Underground
3/5
really wanted to like this
a really silly and charming 90s hip-hop album ruined by having songs that are way too long. no song on here has to be 4+ minutes. almost every song on here drags on for wayyy too long
Eric Clapton
2/5
british white guy making reggae and blues
ends up being a white nationalist
ok bro (dw yall he dated a black women)
omg lorax reference!?
ignoring controversy the music itself is whatever

probably one of the best alt dance records i've heard
this is album does get kind of tiring by the end tho ngl
The Stone Roses
4/5
gotta love good 80s rock
Queen
4/5
typical queen album. pretty good but i feel like they have better albums
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
4/5
gman lookin ass. look up nick cave he looks fucking scary as shit wth. i thought it was just lighting in some in his spotify pfp but he look freaky even when well lit. bro look like the boss from incredibles.
Bob Dylan
4/5
I'll be honest, i was falling in and out of sleep while listening but i really liked what i heard.
Little Richard
4/5
dg reference!?!?! little richard by death grips is like their worst song fuck that song. this album is the opposite its good. his energy is genuinely one of kind.
Neil Young
3/5
not my thing its okay i suppose
Big Star
3/5
cover art is so bad get this shuttershock bs outta my face
good music tho
Beyoncé
4/5
ts kind of weird tbh i wasnt expecting it. you could argue its overproduced but i like it sounds interesting
The Rolling Stones
3/5
its okay
broke my stream of 8 great albums in a row damn
The Beta Band
2/5
i can say this with confidence: there is no way this is anyone favorite album. this the most nothing, whatever ass album i've ever heard
Saint Etienne
4/5
genre tags on rym look very me-core
it is very me-core. excellent blend old pop and breakbeats / house. i really like this album. Like a less french dots and loops by stereolab (idk what that means it just reminds me of that album for whatever reason)
The Doors
3/5
i dont get it. its alright ig
FKA twigs
4/5
i liked magdalene, but tbh wasn't too crazy about it and haven't returned to it since I first listened to it year ago. I hope I like this album more because I lowkey wanna like her music, eusexua looking to be a good ass album based on those new singles she's been dropping.
acra was heavily involved with this albums production ooohh. green flag im interested
this is got that early 2010s electropop stank to it sometimes. definitely enjoyed it more than Magdalene
My Bloody Valentine
4/5
mbv been on my listening list for so long now, i already know im gonna love this album.
first few tracks kind of sucked but the rest was great. love shoegaze its a great genre, i wish more people could appreciate it
Randy Newman
3/5
hearing randy newman saying the n word is so surreal, like i knew his solo music was crazy offensive but its still weird actually hearing it
racism but its funny and kind of nuanced. def didnt need to say slurs but whatever. guys he mad you got a friend in me he can do no wrong
Simon & Garfunkel
4/5
i lowkey love these guys i might be a fan tbh
William Orbit
3/5
i like it
3/5
crazy energy for a 60s rock album, i can see how influential this must've been. i dont know if i like this album or not if im being real
OutKast
5/5
erm... where's the flutes????/?
40 track long testament to the talent of outkast. each member can stand on their own and make captivating hour+ long albums. This album is such a feat and its fucking crazy to listen too. I don't love every songs but its still and impressive body of work nonetheless. Speakerboxxx is super good, feels like standard outkast album. The love below is so fucking crazy, i wish andre 3000 would make another experimental soul funk album its so damn good. Hey Ya still gives me chills to this day, 11/10 song.
saw a review on here that says "very bad, black music lost its way a long time ago" fucking crazy. i feel like ppl are really harsh on rap album on this site tbh. the reviews on this album in general are strange when comparing them to rym. ig these are just regular music listener takes rather than chronically online music snobs. either way THIS being the fall of black music is a crazy take. that guy would disintegrate if he ever heard a hi-c song (not that hi-c is fall of black music fucking love hi-c, praying High the Lon35tarr gets added to the 1001 albums in the next edition).
The Byrds
3/5
country music is good i just dont want to listen to it
Brian Wilson
3/5
unrelated but im too dedicated to this 1001 album journey. you ever just get home from a long ass of doing work with very little breaks and you want to sleep but then you remember you have to listen to a Brian Wilson because a website told you to. im lowkey a weak minded individual
its cute i supposed. its a fine body of work, i like the acapella stuff its so jolly. never listening to this every again tho. type of album that you to be miserable and insufferable to not like. im might be miserable and insufferable because i lowkey hate some songs on this album
3/5
a rym genre tag on this is "Honky Tonk". this is gonna suck shit so bad im not excited to listen to this
girl get a divorce im beggin you
Beatles
3/5
why does he have analogue horror eyes
beatles make good music wow
Brian Eno
3/5
tried listening to this a while ago and gave up a few tracks in. I just didn't like how dated it sound to me at the time.
After giving it a full listen, I'm conflicted. I like it however, I don't really get the hype. Just seems like a really odd electronic rock album from the 70s. I can't really think of anything similar too it, its really one of kind, but i kind of don't care to hear anything else like it. I also don't get how this ambient, like I get ambient doesn't always mean subtle and atmospheric, it more has to do with timbre/texture or whatever. I don't hear it, I feel like I've heard far more textured and detailed compositions on other ambient projects. I guess i can give it pass because its like one of the first ambient albums. ok last few tracks are absolutely ambient, but the rest i dont get it
i hope this grows on me because this is something i should like
Elvis Costello & The Attractions
3/5
this guy again
feel bad for the guy who made this book, they're clearly a huge elvis costello fan and like everyone on this site is sick of hearing him.
this is definitely my favorite elvis costello album i've heard so far. either that or I'm starting to warm up to him
Neil Young & Crazy Horse
3/5
it alright
Bob Dylan
4/5
you might think he loves you for your money but i know what he really loves you for its your brand new leopard skin pillbox hat
Scritti Politti
4/5
obnoxiously 80s, i love it
The Stranglers
4/5
i think im starting to like punk music now lowkey
Arcade Fire
3/5
no ion wanna listen to arcade fire
one of their better albums. was not expecting to enjoy this.
2/5
i dont like u2 fuck i dont wanna listen to this
u2 is so boring i dont get the appeal. all of these songs are too long goddamn
Frank Sinatra
4/5
i love bossa nova sm
bro think he jschlatt
Miles Davis
4/5
ooh miles davis
yeah its cool. he wasn't lying
Stevie Wonder
4/5
his name is stevland? what kinda name is stevland. this stevland wonder album is good, just as i expected it to be
Merle Haggard
3/5
heard this was crime album and was hoping it would be the 1960s white people equivalent to drill music. im sorrowfully disappointed to say its not really like that
pretty whatever, but some songs are crazy tho. on the track life in prison he wishes for death and it lowkey caught be off guard. country music is crazy sometimes
Gorillaz
4/5
First Listen: July 18 2023
I LOVE GORILLAZ AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
great debut, clint eastwood and 19-20000 are classic. def one of their weaker albums tho, demon days is far better
Kanye West
5/5
First Listen: July 20 2020
OMG PEAK WTF. god-tier album i don't have to say anything. back when kanye glaze was understandable
Fugees
4/5
the outro of the beast has one of the worst Asian impersonations i've ever heard. this is a 90s album I thought they were supposed to be good at being racist back then
pretty good ig
Thundercat
4/5
idk why i was surprised that zack fox was involved with this. not only are they friends but the sillier track are so zack fox coded, they feel like they're written by him.
thundercat is for sure one of the best bassist in recent memory and this album is a testament to that. stupid asl but still very enjoyable
3/5
pretty good, but for a rock opera the vocals are pretty underwhelming. still very enjoyable
Aimee Mann
4/5
nettspend geeked on the cover
i actually really fw this, i dont get the hate. its so pleasant. does goes on for a little longer than i would appreciate but still good a 90s pop-rock record i can get behind it.
Prefab Sprout
4/5
this been on my list for a minute excited to check it out
really like the synths on here. yeah they're pretty dated, egregiously 80s, but they add a lot of pretty texture to the songs, especially on the first 4 tracks. Love the jazzier cuts on here too. great album def gonna get some mileage out of this
Big Black
4/5
i feel like it could be more abrasive. still good tho
Arctic Monkeys
3/5
kinda whatever. i just dont like this style of rock it doesn't do much for me i guess
Tears For Fears
5/5
one of my moms favorite. love the songs i've heard from this album
Everybody Wants to Rule the World is actually indisputably one the best songs ever. I don't even know if there's a point in saying that because its so obvious. peak 80s pop for sure
Daft Punk
3/5
love house music but listening to full house album is lowkey torture. music like this was not supposed to be consumed this way. still very good regardless
3/5
thom yorke was involved in this cool
I dont have much to say about this i like it though
On horses in my dreams it sounds like she keeps saying that she pooped herself thats funny
3/5
the second blur I've listen to and honestly this doesn't really appeal to me. it fine. tbf the other one I listened to was their newest album The Ballad of Darren and don't think really like that album too much, including myself. I think im just mad that it doesn't sound like Gorillaz which should've been obvious considering they're completely different musical projects. maybe once i accept that I'll enjoy blur's music more. this is way too damn long too
omg its the song from that one scene in baby driver wow
Various Artists
4/5
what a coincidence (they def programmed this in that's cute)
strangely well produced and very cheery. might be peak Christmas music, very enjoyable
The Bees
4/5
so chill i love it. really beautifully arranged. never heard of this band before but I'm glad I got to listen to them.
Joni Mitchell
4/5
Led Zeppelin
3/5
gonna give this a 3 but its more of a 3.5 tbc
hard rock vocals over folk rock is a cool experiment. like most hard rock i get the appeal but it doesn't really do much for me. ngl the more folk influenced tracks were my favorites on this album
Peter Gabriel
4/5
i love wacky prog rock. def gonna relisten to this in the near future
Neil Young
4/5
First neil young album i really enjoyed. I get the hype now
The Chemical Brothers
3/5
Would be a banger vg ost. Chicos Groove and One Too Many Mornings is so killer
Nanci Griffith
3/5
i actually enjoyed this a bit. its really inoffensive and a very pleasant listen. however I've definitely heard better country.
2/5
way too groovy. strange because I usually like very dated 80s pop, but this one didn't appeal to me. This isn't bad, I just really don't like super flamboyant theatric 80s pop. This album is doing too much and it kind of annoys me.
3/5
its a beatles album
idk why but this album makes me think about volcanic bird enemy and the voiced concern by lil ugly mane
i'm too crazy about the beatles, but this is still good tho.
The Smiths
2/5
its fine. i think Morrisseys energy repels me from enjoying anything attached to his name. idk im just bored by this album
Pulp
4/5
really cool album. at best very eclectic and at worst its horny glam rock.
Bob Dylan
4/5
i wanna see that new bob dylan biopic. why does timothee chalamet actually look like bob dylan
incredible song writing here.
Jerry Lee Lewis
4/5
bro said "y'all chill my 3rd wife who's also my cousin is 15 not 13"
great classic rock and roll album but wtf was wrong this guy genuinely. even more impressive when you consider this was live, must've be legendary to be in the crowd
Suede
4/5
unlike any other britpop album I've heard. this barely even sounds like britpop to me and that's a good thing if i'm being honest
very interesting sound-wise. glam rock vocals over these atmospheric psych-rock instrumentals. i really fw this, I haven't heard many album like this. I would totally give this a relisten at some point
Michael Jackson
4/5
classic
generational vocals and undeniably timeless album. no one will ever do it like him. great album but I feel like he has other album with more hits on it, a lot of these songs I've never heard of before. Not this album is bad for that, but if you have an album where every other track is iconic, than it's infinitely more impressive.
Jimmy Smith
3/5
just kept getting better as it went along. i love a good chill jazz album
Talking Heads
3/5
didnt like the first talking heads album I heard.
i get this one. The groove on this album is far more creative and out there, which makes for a more interesting listening experience. That solo on the first track is really cool i like it a lot. That being said I'm still a bit underwhelmed by the overall project. Its an okay album. I still really don't understand what so great about this band. This is best album I've heard from though for sure
Cee Lo Green
3/5
he kinda looks like my grandpa except younger, balder, and also is a rapist
its a silly 2000s party rap album. i like it but you def don't need to hear before you die.
Michael Jackson
4/5
finally, peak
i lowkey skipped songs on this because i've already heard them a million times. this album is too iconic. whats more interesting are the songs that I haven't heard before. They're pretty good, especially Baby Be Mine.
Dolly Parton
3/5
dolly parton lowkey freaks me out why does she look like that
its fine. i tried to pretend that she was adrianne lenker, but then i thought about it and she actually sounds nothing like her beyond the fact that they both make country music (adrianne lenker is more of a singer-song writer folk artist but you know what i mean, right?)
Bee Gees
3/5
no way this is the same band that made staying alive, wtf
some cool songs on here but this was an absolute chore to listen to
The Avalanches
5/5
fucking awesome. best disco album ever and probably one the best instrumental hip-hop album ever
Sly & The Family Stone
4/5
funky, just as i expected it to be
not to sound like an old man but modern musicians should go back to fucking around with panning effects again. why don't we experimental with stereo sound anymore. this album has so many parts in it where a single instrument is panned to one ear and like background vocal is panned to the other side. it weird aid the in the groove and rhythm of the music its kind of fun.
The Clash
4/5
i usually dont like punk but i can get down with this. his voice is a little grading ngl but I fw the messaging on here
Marianne Faithfull
3/5
WHY'D YOU LET HER SUCK YUR COCCCKKKKKKKK??????? lowkey the best part on this album why'd she say it like that
some good tracks but overall a little uninteresting. feel like i need more time with this album to fully appreciate it because I don't necessarily hate what I'm hearing on this album. last track and guilt are really good, especially the last song, love how spiteful it is.
Beatles
3/5
they were singing a beatles song in that vine!??! (mr postman)
by far the most boring beatles album ive heard so far
The Smiths
3/5
holy shit i finally actually liked something associated with Morrissey wtf
this a good album wow
Gene Clark
4/5
probably my favorite country album I've ever heard exclusively because it barely sounds like country to me
Manu Chao
3/5
i like it, but i don't see what so crazy about it. enjoyable but i don't think its a must listen tbh
the concept for the album is awesome. super ahead of its time for 1998. actually really impressive because this does not feel like music recorded on a probably shitty laptop in the late 90s. actually listening to that with that in mind makes me like this album a whole lot more tbh, ignore the beginning of this review this album is cool af
The Rolling Stones
4/5
just what i'd want out of rock and roll album. really good energy and rock? idk its a good album thats all that matters
Beastie Boys
4/5
still don't really like this era of hip-hop, but this is a really fun album. really creative production i fw it
4/5
if it isn't psychedelic i don't wanna hear it. really impressed by this album
Thin Lizzy
3/5
Live in the album title is always a green flag
as a certified hard rock hater, even i gotta admit this album is badass af
Barry Adamson
3/5
title is crazy. other barry adamson album i heard was kinda ass but still cool conceptually. hope this isn't the same.
slightly less bad but still kind of chore to listen to
The War On Drugs
4/5
really dreamy I like it
Dexys Midnight Runners
3/5
its alright i like it
listened to this quietly in the background while editing a school project. it kept me from giving up on the assignment so i guess thats a testament to its quality.
Björk
4/5
First Listen: July 5 2023
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
god i fucking love bjork ive been waiting to get this album. def a weaker bjork album there's some classics on here fs.
"spongebob? --tf wrong wit you" ï'm õn thät gööd kûsh äñd älcöhól "NIGGA⁉️🥷🥷"
Boston
3/5
theres like a million different albums just like this. its fine though, never returning to this.
Crowded House
3/5
just another 90s pop album
interesting songwriting aside it feels kind of bland.
The Strokes
4/5
cool
love the shitty mic they recorded this on. bro peaking the mic every other word, really adds to the indie/garage band vibe
The Shamen
3/5
i like this type of shit but you this is far from a must-hear album. its also like way too long, but that goes for most house albums
Jimi Hendrix
4/5
yay jimi hendrix
absolute psych-rock legend, nobody does it like him
The Saints
4/5
liked more than i expected. exact type of energy i want out of a punk record
Franz Ferdinand
3/5
Girls Against Boys
4/5
looks cool
kind of disappointed that this isn't a rad fem hardcore punk album, but this is still cool. very noisy and industrial, love it
Simply Red
3/5
smooth, just how i like it. very pleasant listen, would return to this. ok the funky tracks are a little cheesy i don't like them that much. but the soul stuff hell yeah thats good
Miles Davis
5/5
its about time i gave this a listen
this like the avengers of jazz getting together. I had no clue john coltrane was on this. Excellent line up of players and an excellent jazz, i see why this is such a highly acclaimed album
The Kinks
4/5
the psych rock stuff is cool, but anything that strays away from that kind of sucks
still an enjoyable listen though
The Dandy Warhols
3/5
cool but some (most if im being honest) feel really dragged out
every day should be a holiday is a banger though i love those weird ass synths
Syd Barrett
3/5
what a strange album. its good but im not too crazy about it
Its pretty hit or miss. if its in you is terrible, might be one of the most dreadful songs i've heard in a while
Soundgarden
4/5
raw af
Earth, Wind & Fire
4/5
i thought they were a one hit wonder band, but no. this is heat
nooo no more u2 i dont like u2 stop it fuck off bono
slightly more enjoyable than most u2 albums but i still dont like it. thank god the last track isn't available on streaming so i could get done with this sooner
AC/DC
3/5
MAYONAISE ON A ESCALATOR! ITS GOIN UPSTAIRS SO SEE YA LATER!
just another hard rock album. pretty badass but also pretty insubstantial outside of that. there's like only two songs on here i ever like to hear again (obvious one is back in black, genuinely an amazing song deserving of all of its praise)
SAULT
2/5
this that typa shit #blackouttuesday niggas listen to
really uninteresting and vapid, although there are some great song, but its just far too on the nose for me to really feel moved by it at all.
disappointing because this is all produced by inflo and I love their work with Little Simz. I was expecting something far more interesting
Michael Jackson
4/5
its michael jackson, its good obviously.
ngl i didn't remember this album sounding so dated. not thats a bad thing its charming actually. but use of drum machines is so obvious and the weird cheap synth instruments sound so bad and fake. what up with the weird industrial clap sound on the way you make me feel, it feels so out of place but i love it. some of these instrumentals give me like 16-bit era vgm vibe. makes sense considering he worked on the music in sonic the hedgehog 3 (fun fact i guess)
Wilco
4/5
Sister Sledge
3/5
stg if this is that we are family song imma be pissed off. i lowkey hate that song
pretty solid disco and soul, but nothing too interesting tbh. i still don't like we are family. never liked that song, i already think its repetitive and annoying, and then i find out that its 8 MINUTES. fuck that, overrated asl. everything else is good tho
The Divine Comedy
3/5
at several points throughout this album i thought he was gonna start singing sweet caroline for some reason
sounds pretty but overall couldn't really grab my attention. if only it were shorter
Queen
4/5
queen album. it good i fw it wow its good what a surprise, wait queen makes good music i didn;t know that wtf wow this is so crazy wowowowowow
they haven't missed imo
The Band
4/5
feels like quintessential old white people music. no way they started yodeling thats crazy (it was kinda hard though i like it)
Soul II Soul
5/5
FUN FACT: apparently I'm distantly related to the lead singer Jazzie B so that's cool
No fucking way my uncle (?) was responsible for making back to life wtf. Im related to a legend
The rapping is kind of terrible but i gotta support the family so I LOVE THIS ALBUM JAZZIE B IS THE GOAT RAHHHHHHG
John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers
4/5
Sounds nothing like the other eric clapton album i heard, therefore its pretty good
Antony and the Johnsons
4/5
not to be that friend thats too woke, but reading the reviews misgendering her kind of hurts me consider that this album is so obviously heavily centered around trans identity.
the singings fine, yall overreacting like crazy. pretty good songwriter too however the production to be a bit underwhelming. still pretty good tho
Fela Kuti
4/5
ginger went crazy
The Monkees
2/5
sober beatles. about lame as the cover
forget that girl is fire though
Drive Like Jehu
4/5
3.9 on rym, 2.9 on here, that's always a good sign
I was listening to at the drive-in early today and this is basically the same thing. fucking awesome, if you dont fw music like this you're lowkey boring af
Funkadelic
4/5
George clinton always confused me like wasnt he a president
Power to the pussy
Songhoy Blues
3/5
its alr. cool back story
i kind of hate this site calls anything thats not traditionally western or european sounding it gets called "world music". thats not a genre this genre has a name... probably idk actually know what to call this. dessert blue ig thats what they call it.
The Residents
4/5
so bad that I circled around to loving it. this is so ass but in a cool way. like if came out now it'd be lame and try-hard but because it was 70s this feels like it would be the 70s equivalent of showing a Victorian era child a 100 gecs song. honestly 100 gecs is feels like a pretty apt comparison, its surreal and doesn't take itself too seriously. feels almost as if its a exaggerated satire of modern music at the time (particularly psychedelic music from like the 60s/70s).
all im saying is that some of yall are weak. that being said, i'll never relisten to this unless i want piss off my friends next time they put me on aux
Blur
4/5
best blur album i've heard so far. very enjoyable
Television
4/5
pretty crazy. idk its just really good rock, i like it a lot. definitley will return to this, love the solos especially on the title track
John Lee Hooker
3/5
artwork is just ash baby grown up
1st track is great, rest is whatever
Eminem
2/5
there little glimpses of Eminem's brilliant songwriting and story telling, but too much of this album is so try-hard and boring for me to give a fuck. Like I feel like this isn't even that offensive and yet this album at several moment acknowledges how twisted and deranged it is. relax bud. Other than the intense misogyny, I feel this hasn't even aged that bad subject matter wise (maybe i missed something idk i likely did)
I feel like I can get this exact thing from early tyler, the creator and have it be far more creative and provocative (mainly because he was obviously very inspired by this era of Eminem). Although I haven't listen to his early albums in a very long time, so they might equally suck ass
Van Morrison
3/5
it pretty good
The Isley Brothers
4/5
The White Stripes
2/5
holy shit they made the song from paranorman. my little sister was really scared of the song little ghost so when we got to the credits of that movie she'd lose her shit for some reason. she must been scared of mediocre music, idk i wasn't feeling this one. not bad just whatever
Elvis Costello
3/5
round 4
thought he was growing on me but this is like his most whatever album. couple great songs but most of it is very forgettable
Jimi Hendrix
4/5
First Listen: Jan 28 2023
the alt cover for the this album is crazy. jimi is goated great album
De La Soul
4/5
First Listen: Feb 14 2023
one of my favorite old-school rap albums. makes me so happy
Yeah Yeah Yeahs
4/5
definitely a departure from fever to tell (the only other yeah yeah yeah album I've heard). Its cool though, still very enjoyable. feels very 2010s and it came out in 2009 so technically its ahead of its time
no fucking way they made that song that remixed in dance til' your dead remix thing from 2018 thats crazy (heads will roll)
Steely Dan
4/5
loved the shit out of this. jazz rock might be the best thing ever.
First half is so good and then it starts to trail off a bit tbh. Great album regardless, its like a really high 8/10 like 8.99999/10
The Cardigans
5/5
lounge-y indie pop with subtle electronic influences is my SHIT man. love this! I've heard lovefool a million times, never knew they made it, such a great song.
the trip-hop rendition of iron man by black sabbath came out of no where. so strange but I love it.
i think part of the reason i loved this album as much as i did was because spring is starting and it was sunny and 12 degree celius, which is lowkey cold asl but its okay because its better than -5 degrees with snow everywhere god i hate winter so much. this album matched the sheer joy and whimsy i was experiencing today and for that im thankful
Rocket From The Crypt
3/5
its okay. a little bit underwhelming
Tim Buckley
3/5
dude he's jeff buckleys dad thats so cool
cool folk album, like the production a lot and similar to his son he got a nice voice
Alice In Chains
4/5
awesome af
Pantera
4/5
heavy af. makes me want to be 16 wear eyeliner and flip off my parents and do kickflips and steal some dweebs lunch money
PJ Harvey
4/5
Billy Joel
4/5
if kanye dropped momma's boyfriend i'd forgive for everything (not actually, he sampled moving out)
why do some people hate this. i will admit side A is way better than B
Lauryn Hill
4/5
First Listen: May 03 2023
I liked it on my first listen but I wasn't really seeing the hype. I hope I like it more on relisten
yeah this pretty good idk what 17 year old me didn't see in this

Korn

HELLL YEAAAHHH
i love terrible shit like this, nu metal is the shit. all in the family has aged so badly but still love it. fred durst and johnathon davis should kiss i think that would be really cool. this is like most badass shit ever lets be so fr
Traffic
3/5
just another psych rock record, it's fine. there's a couple great tracks near the end though
Fats Domino
3/5
Joy Division
3/5
lowkey i dont get the hype. its cool tho, i just need to sit with it more, theres some great songs on here
Paul McCartney

theres like two good songs on here idk
Tracy Chapman
5/5
fast car is so peak. idk how i've never heard it before, it literally has a billion streams
this might be my favorite singer songwriter album, i love the songwriting on this so much. great album, idk how i've never heard of her. Side a is crazy good, side b is a bit weaker
Blur
3/5
Its another blur album, its good but parklife is so much better just listen to that instead
The Jesus And Mary Chain
3/5
the jesus and mary chain is a hard ass name for a shoegaze band. Too bad this is just another alt rock album, albeit a good one. why is this even listed as shoegaze???
This album is good but their previous album psychocandy is so much better and far more interesting. This such a downgrade
Radiohead
3/5
Its radiohead so of course its good. I'd just listen to kid a instead personally
Led Zeppelin
4/5
my mom loves them so much don't know how i've never checked them out until this point (i actually listened to lz3 and completely forgot whoops)
my mom knows ball her taste is so good
stairway to heaven is only 8 minutes? swear to god old people act like stairway to heaven is the longest song ever, wait til they discover swans
Taylor Swift
3/5
ugh. yk what she made shake it off and i like that song so maybe this will be great. maybe this will be the beginning of my swiftie arc????
i gave it honest chance and its not that bad. just really inoffensive and at worst sleep inducing. but there are quite a few songs on here that I really liked. soft chamber-y pop always appeals to me i fw that shit.
I would say people should listen to this because I feel like people just hate on her without giving her a honest chance, but this didn't really entice me. check it out anyways though i can see the appeal for this. she's not bad people just glaze her too much. BTW: if you one of those "kanye > taylor" people just know that you're just as annoying as die-hard swifties. and thats coming from someone who used to be a kanye glazer (USED TO BE I WANNA MAKE THAT VERY CLEAR)
Creedence Clearwater Revival
3/5
it alr ig. i got excited when i saw the swamp rock tag i thought shit was gonna sound like an alligator on jet ski with sick ass sunglasses. idk what that would sound but that's what i envisioned. im disappointed that it didn't live up to that
Tom Waits
2/5
ts better be funny or im gonna be pissed
tom waits more like im tom waiting for this to end amirite
im two tracks in and im already sick of it, why does this have to one and half hours. this the type shit madlib would sample at the end of a doom or quasimoto song, but its goes on for an hour. this just listening to your drunk uncle yap but theres jazz band accompanying him, and like he's mostly spewing bullshit but there randomly he says something really insightful
im don't hate the lyricism (idk if its lyricism he's just yapping), this album just so arduous i can't stand it.
Joan Armatrading
4/5
funky folk pop? you know what hell yeah this is cool af. really enjoyed this
The Beta Band
4/5
the other album i heard from them Heroes to Zeros was probably the most boring album i've ever heard
this is slightly less boring. i actually liked it. love the trip-hop influences that stuff always appeals to me
Aerosmith
3/5
just another hard rock album borrringngggggg
R.E.M.
4/5
Who tf are these people why do they have 18mil monthly listeners and why do i have song of theirs liked?? I feel so out of touch when i discover popular bands that i've never heard of
Yeah this is pretty great. I can see why they're so popular apparently. Jangle pop is always a green flag for me (except for when its the smith i dont get them)
The Electric Prunes
1/5
just gets worse as it goes on. the electric prunes is such a terrible band name its so fucking stupid
just listen to the first and third tracks they're are the only ones worth hearing. the songs are either cool but the mix is so muddy and weird that it actively annoys me, or the just songs sucks and is annoying
Solange
4/5
oh hell yeah
absolutely lovely and raw af. i like the interludes too good ass album
Sonic Youth
4/5
all rock should sound like this. love it
The Rolling Stones
3/5
god i wish this was a sonic youth album
Bert Jansch
3/5
its good but not really my thing. nothing here really caught my attention, kinda boring
Pentangle
4/5
its like tavern and video game dessert music a the same time. i kind of like it idk.
what a coincidence Bert Jansch plays guitar and sings on this, I just listened to his self titled album yesterday. this way more interesting than that album, enjoyed this way more
Van Halen
3/5
I swear every hard rock album is the same
You've heard the one song on this album worth hearing
The Good, The Bad & The Queen
3/5
damon albarn!?
was expect this to another boring non-gorillaz damon albarn off-shoot band but its actually cool.
Aerosmith
3/5
its definitely an aerosmith album
Michael Kiwanuka
4/5
remember this guy from that black thought and danger mouse album. fucking love that album and the song he's on on it. curious to hear his solo material
really refreshing while still feeling like a throwback to 60s/70s psych soul and rock. good shit. danger mouse and inflo produced this whole album omg i like it so much more that I know that
Simon & Garfunkel
4/5
these two never do me dirty
Green Day
4/5
was talking to someone tdy and they referred to green day among other rock bands (i.e. radiohead, blur) from this era as loser rock, and i couldn't have said it better myself
i love loser rock
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
3/5
cover is pissing me off dont look at me like that
Borring ass album
4/5
didn't know i needed prog funk until i heard this. cool album
Todd Rundgren
4/5
first track was really good but was also the longest 3 minutes of my life this is not a good sign. im not ready for an hour and half of this
i actually was ready. really liked all of the cheesy soulful soft rock songs on here. this is a very impressive and charming body of work. wasn't bored by this at all. would love to get this on vinyl one day
Radiohead
5/5
First Listen: Aug 22 2023
aw hell yeah. a good radiohead album i love to see it
The Stooges
4/5
its nothing mind blowing but still really enjoyable. really like how lo-fi this is. the shitty mix give this an interesting vibe. feel like i listening to this live at a small underground show.
Beatles
4/5
yeah obv
The Pogues
3/5
not really my thing sorry irish people
Baaba Maal
3/5
I'll probably never return to this but i still enjoyed it.
its cool that's something this foreign, at least to my canadian ass, is on this list mostly comprised of albums from western and European musicians. I know damn well that this is the first (and probably the last) Senegalese album that myself and people most the people on this website have ever heard.
this worth hearing, expand your horizons idk
dude he works on the black panther soundtrack wtf thats so cool. too bad it was for the shitty sequel but idc its still cool
Jeff Buckley
5/5
First Listen: 27 Mar 2023
his voice is unhuman bro is an angel im so deadass. RIP
Waylon Jennings
3/5
this townn ain big enuff fo the both of us
i like the first two tracks a lot but the rest is whatever
Lloyd Cole And The Commotions
3/5
second half is very good but that first half is a slog. just skip the first 4 songs and then its like a 7/10 at best
Frank Sinatra
3/5
the same song 15 times but its frank sinatra so it okay i guess. great singer but man this was boring ngl
Harry Nilsson
4/5
Stupid ass album love it
The Coral
2/5
no
Pixies
4/5
erm this isnt bossanova what the freak????///??
really good but doolittle is far superior in comparison. still a very strong album tho. that second half is killer
The Who
4/5
The Doors
3/5
i dont get this band
The 13th Floor Elevators
4/5
love the crazy textures on this album this some real psych shit.
love it whenever the whip out the metal sheets and start wiggling it (?) i think thats whats making that weird ass sound in the background of most songs idk who cares it sounds cool. i looked it up one of the bands members was blowing into a jug to make those noise. absolutely brilliant
Beach House
4/5
we wouldn't have gotten money trees by kendrick lamar without this album existing so for that reason alone i love this album
The Cure
4/5
if this is pornography then im gooning to this
The Disposable Heroes Of Hiphoprisy
3/5
he sounds like will smith clean rapping in that one family guy cutaway gag.
kind of terrible but like in a cool way. i admire the creativity with some of these instrumentals. he spitting but god he's terrible rapper, the flow is god awful. i'd rather just hear him do just straight up political commentary instead tbh this has aged very very well tbh
Joe Ely
3/5
the best country music barely even sounds like country
Beck
4/5
love trip-hop so much goated genre fr
Primal Scream
4/5
oh yeeaah tjis gon be good
Am i tripping or is star a subtle interpolation of every nigga is a star by boris gardiner theres no fucking way brooo
cool album, i like this typa shit a lot. does drag a little bit tho
The Flying Burrito Brothers
3/5
kind of whatever country music but i like their band name a lot so im forcing myself to like this
Emerson, Lake & Palmer
2/5
she emersons on my lake til i palmer
just three guy fucking around with the worst 70s synths ever for like 40 minutes ts so ass. i enjoyed the other elp album (Pictures at an Exhibition) but it was mostly ironically i didn't need more of this
Kendrick Lamar
5/5
First Listen: Jan 02 2023
good kid maad city always stuck with me more but still pretty goated
System Of A Down
4/5
fucking awesome
Killing Joke
4/5
Industrial music is good bro. This is crazy for the 80s i think idk actually i wasnt alive back then
Beastie Boys
4/5
theres like two or three different death grips samples on here thats so cool
loved the first half, not so much the rest but its still pretty good.
Pere Ubu
3/5
definitely unique. there's moments on this album that sound so crazy weird that it almost tricks into liking it, but i actually don't really get it if im being honest. imma say this isn't a must-hear but i can see myself in the future finally figuring this album out and absolutely loving it, because there are a really cool glimmer of brilliant surreal artistry. the whole atmosphere of sentimental journey is absolutely insane. i love the manic energy of street waves. all the weird electronic background are so weird and uneasy. but i'd be lying if i said it sounded good all throughout.
I don't hate it but I feel like I've heard albums likely influenced by this one that do that weird off-kilter noisy shit far better. Bands like sprain (specifically their last album) and maybe early black midi come to mind (probably bad comparisons i haven't listened to them in a bit) do this type of thing far better like 40 or so years later.
Patti Smith
4/5
Sarah Vaughan
4/5
delightful
George Harrison
4/5
listening to any popular album from post-2000s on spotify 9 times out of ten is like the worst experience every. theres two versions of this album on here, neither have the correct track listing, both have just random bs in the middle of said tracklist. why tf is what is life and the backing track version on the same disk wtf. i spent like 5 minutes rearranging my queue to match the og tracklist im so annoyed fuck. espicially with such a long album too like why make it longer. idgaf how good this album or any album for that matter i dont need a 3 hour extended deluxe version with a bunch of bs demos fuck offffff
similar to yesterdays album, this is delightful. like a beatles album minus the type of beatles songs i don't care for (particularly the more folky experimental songs)
Donald Fagen
4/5
its a little cheesy but i like. fagen is a very unfortunate last name i know he had a rough time growing up
Iggy Pop
3/5
lord have mercy, that cover wow. straight up got jumpscared me when this album revealed itself
ofc hes a pedophile damn. idk im not feeling this one tbh
Neil Young
4/5
Elliott Smith
4/5
now that i've listened and really enjoyed it to this i can officially call myself annoying without looking like a poser
Koffi Olomide
2/5
not bad but every song overstay its welcome. why is almost every song like 6 minutes long??? amazing cover art tho
Bill Callahan
4/5
me when my hb and i are trying to come up with our new fursonas
i like this a lot. personally i fw the vocals a lot it his voice is very soothing, this was a very pleasant listen.
The Doors
3/5
marginally better than their other albums. i still dont get it tho
Slipknot
4/5
I dont get hate this is raw af. i can never hate music like this, fucking radical (im tired of calling things awesome i struggling to think of lame synonyms)
Mylo
3/5
a sign of a good artist is when 6 out of their top 10 most streamed songs on spotify are the same song song. drop the pressure far the best on this album how'd blow up so much?
theres some cool stuff on here but its overall pretty unremarkable
Jimi Hendrix
4/5
lowkey might be my fav jimi album. so bizarre this some real psych shit
The Replacements
4/5
angsty and gay fuck yeah
Stereo MC's
3/5
soul || soul but boring. I kind of like it but it doesnt belong on this list thats for sure
The Beach Boys
4/5
RIP brian wilson
this my first beach boy. its pretty good.
Iron Maiden
4/5
the shreds on here fucking godly holy shit
Beatles
3/5
its another beatles album. Pretty front loaded if you ask me
Gil Scott-Heron
4/5
god i wish this was on spotify. absolutely excellent
The Velvet Underground
4/5
has a very different vibe from there other work but its still great. considering how avant garde and crazy their other work is its cool that they would release a more accessible and pleasing to the ear. proves that they are indeed great musicians. you can't write them off as talentless and pretentious like how most experimental bands get treated by general audiences.
Grateful Dead
3/5
its fine. just like good standard country nothing special tho
Elton John
3/5
Marvin Gaye
5/5
very inquisitive album. idk what's going on either
The Rolling Stones
2/5
boring. lowkey one of their worst i don't get it
Kings of Leon
2/5
wydm this band has two songs with over a billion streams. theres no fucking way. ok i recognize one of the songs, but i've never heard sex on fire
its just more mid alt rock get this bs outta here.
can we ban rock artists from singing about 16-17 years olds. idc about the context im just sick of hearing it
Turbonegro
3/5
noticeable lack of negroes in this band but i digress. just by looking at the song titles i already like this.
here's quote that i found on their bands wikipedia that i really like: "Initially, the band had two running ideas for band names: Nazipenis and Turbonegro. They were advised that a band named Nazipenis would never sell records, so they chose Turbonegro as a more consumer-friendly choice."
unfortunately underwhelming </3
Dire Straits
4/5
groovy af. i like it
Grateful Dead
3/5
im GRATEFUL to be done listening to this. way too damn long, im not enough of a grateful dead fan to actually want to sit through hour plus long live album from them where most of it seems like meandering improv. not for me
The Charlatans
3/5
not bad, not special either
King Crimson
4/5
its king crimson of course is awesome. both larks tongues in aspic songs are so fucking crazy
Janis Joplin
4/5
The Beach Boys
4/5
i wanted to hate on this so bad but its so whimsical and joyous i cant do it.
Bad Company
3/5
i hate hard rock so much im so sick of it. the more bluesy tracks are incredible tho, wish the whole album was like that
Joy Division
3/5
kind of forced myself to like their other album. idk this one is def better but i really dont get this band, it just feels really uninteresting and boring. not a fan
Sonic Youth
4/5
Haven't heard a bad album from this band.
this seems crazy 1988, this would've been my shit if i was alive back then. its my shit now I loved listening to this.
The Smiths
3/5
its fine. theres something about this band that irrationally pisses me off I don't what it is
Emmylou Harris
3/5
ngl i barely paid attention to this while listen, but liked what i heard
Prince
5/5
ah hell naw what were my parents doing listening to this freaky ass shit.
i literally remember the day this guy died exclusively because my parents spent half the day searching the house for their prince comp cd just so they could listen to it to honor his passing
ts hard tho i get the hype. i like the fucked up looking penis 1 on the cover a lot
James Brown
4/5
OUGGHHHHGGHHHHHHHHHH
Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
4/5
oh hell no. everytime i go to record store and see this album i always force my friends to listen frownland just to see their reaction. now actually gotta listen to the whole thing
lowkey terrible but the story behind this album is so fascinating that circle around to kind of liking it.
The band isn't shit, the songs are supposed to sound like this this is just how they're composed. The band was like pretty much tortured in the process of making. they like survived off a couple soy beans and were beat or trapped in a barrel if they fucked up their rehearsal its so fucked up. Its an insane listen and everyone should experience it once there really nothing like it (for better or for worse)
Judas Priest
2/5
Nightmares On Wax
3/5
Good background music but def not a must hear album
Moby Grape
4/5
i was prepped to be bored out of my mind by this. just another wannabe beatles 1960s psych rock album. but then they started singing about robitussin. these guys would've loved future had they been kicking these days
pretty good, whenever they're not doing country stuff it feels like a rougher, more lofi (might just be the rip i listened to on youtube tho) beatles. i liked it a whole lot more than i expected to
The Police
3/5
FUCK 12
Marty Robbins
3/5
The worst thing abt this site is waking up and finding out you gotta listen to some bs like this
The Jesus And Mary Chain
4/5
First Listen: Apr 05 2025
listened to this right after i got darklands a couple months ago and was blown away by it. this is an incredible noise rock album much far better than darklands.
The White Stripes
3/5
way more enjoyable than other white stripes album i heard on here. def feels a bit overrated tho
Jefferson Airplane
3/5
Happy Mondays
3/5
I usually like stuff like this but i find this a tad underwhelming
Britney Spears
3/5
i actually really liked the first three tracks. I really thought I was gonna enjoy this but then soda pop started playing and it snapped me back to reality.
its very of its time and cheesy, but I don't mind it. still pretty mediocre, and at best, very iconic
Common
4/5
This is so kanye. I know this album is produced by him but like omg its so apparent.
very very good should checked this out sooner
Dusty Springfield
3/5
Che dropped rest in bass today its so good that everything in comparison sounds like ass to me.
Its okay just another old pop album. Nothing notable on here at all
The Cure
4/5
Dont have too much to say. I like it, very dark love the atmostphere on here
Faust
4/5
ooh old ass krautrock. i still dont fully understand what krautrock but theres a lot cool albums that I like that are considered to be krautrock
love the sound design on here its so crazy. very ahead of its time
Fleet Foxes
4/5
very very very very pretty album. i likey
Venom
3/5
Some good stuff on here but its clear that black metal still had to evolve a bit more to become what it is today (? Idk what im talking about here Translation: the album is mid)
Black Sabbath
3/5
rip ozzy osbourne
A whole lot weaker than paranoid but still worth checking out
Django Django
2/5
This a fake album i stg. There smth about it idk how to explain it.
Cool ig. Its doing everything and nothing at the same time. Feels like the beatles if they were millelinials and liked going to overpriced coffee shops in gentrified neighborhoods.
Alanis Morissette
3/5
I'm really trying to enjoy this but her vocals are annoying the shit out of me.
First two tracks are cool ig but the rest is boring asf
Ngl i kind of adjusted to her voice a bit near the end, but im highkey not interested giving the album a second chance.
The Prodigy
4/5
fucking sick if you cant get down to shit like you lowkey boring as fuck
Kacey Musgraves
3/5
type album that imma performatively act like i enjoy to impress white shordies
Pink Floyd
3/5
First Listen: Feb 02 2023
METRO BOOMIN REFERENCE!?!?!?!??
i remember finding a bulk of this album very underwhelming. The first and last tracks were incredible, but overall its very overrated. there are many far better pink floyd albums
it feels like a really good prog rock song interrupted by a 17 minute snoozefest. the middle is so overrated
Portishead
4/5
ooh i like portishead i haven't heard this yet
idk how they got darker than dummy. dummy is like the most nocturnal shit ever, this is just sounds downright evil. i like it lot. great atmosphere. I do enjoy dummy a bit more though
The Black Keys
3/5
i don't trust any blue rock album made after the 80s. idk why but its a red flag for me
it's good. it has its moments but it pretty derivative. so much so that i cannot fathom how it could possibly be a must hear album.
someone on here said its "Blues for people who are afraid of black people". i get why this album feels off to me now, couldn't agree more
Pere Ubu
3/5
didn't really understand their previous album but it definitely trained my ears for this one. I enjoyed like a little more
Its an interesting listen, there's some cool shit on here. the vocalist on here is fucking nuts, I've heard very few vocalists as manic he is its crazy.
Stevie Wonder
4/5
yet another classic from good ol' stevland wonder
Buddy Holly & The Crickets
3/5
weezer reference
Youssou N'Dour
4/5
crazy nice vibe
Pink Floyd
5/5
First Listen: Aug 30 2021
the only pink floyd album that deserves to be glazed. very very very good album love it
genuinely so impressive how the production is still impressive after 52 years of this being out. they are lowkey biting lil yachty tho ngl
Gang Of Four
4/5
Love how janky this sounds. Cool album
Violent Femmes
4/5
My mom recommended me this years ago. Became significantly less interested when i found out there are no women in the band
it was pretty good. folk punk is a cool genre
Morrissey
2/5
get this fucker off my screen omgg. actually the most overrated artist of all time
Beck
4/5
he just be doing everything i love ts.
Gary Numan
4/5
He nice with the synths love it. I need that synth preset that sounds like a electric guitar bad. He abuses it on here and i get why i would too
Beth Orton
3/5
its a cool blend of folk pop and downtempo but it def drags a bit
Charles Mingus
5/5
this album smells like valve oil. no I won't elaborate
the textures on this album are fucking crazy, I haven't heard anything like it on a jazz album, or on any album for that matter. Mind blowing from the first note to the end. sad that people on here can't appreciate this cause this might be jazz perfection (I'm not super proficient in the genre so don't take my word on that).
SNOO-MINGUS AS USUAL I SEE
Neil Young
3/5
Its another good neil young album but idk i feel like i've heard better from him
Pink Floyd
3/5
initially i didnt trust pink floyd with a rock opera album. And then i remembered how huge and atmostpheric dark side of the moon was and it gave me some hope that it will similarly be mind blowing.
It was good but suspicions where correct. I just don't find roger waters to be charasmatic enough vocalist for an album of this nature. It just comes off as a bit underwhelming, espicially since i just relisten to dark side like a week ago and it's still fresh in mind.
Its def worth a listen because its iconic, but its maybe a bit overrated imo. Will def check out the movie tho seems interesting
Screaming Trees
3/5
good but needs to be grungier. i really don't like basic alt rock idk why. has its moments though
R.E.M.
4/5
this band is really good idk how i've never heard of them, espicially considering that they're pretty popular.
The National
2/5
i usually like dry melancholic indie rock but this albums bland production and sleepy vocals really weren't doing it for me.
Fleetwood Mac
3/5
theres some really weird dated dumb sounded songs on here, but when it good its fucking good. love me some soft rock, none of that wack country pop rock shit on here god its bad. rym says its cowpunk god i love that sites stupid genres wtf is cowpunk
Prince
4/5
sex
Röyksopp
4/5
cool atmosphere and synths, i liked it
Little Simz
4/5
oh shit i love little simz, haven't heard this album yet tho
This site is allergic to black people i stg, this is great. If you dont like this please give her album sometime i might be introvert its absolutely stunning, i hope to god its on this list because absolutely deserves to be
Now i gotta check out her newest album
Gang Starr
4/5
dj premier so goated
Black Sabbath
4/5
This is so evil i love it
The Cure
4/5
Not that i ever disliked the cure, but this is definitley the first tome that i felt like i fully understood onoe of their albums.
Incredibly good, although its a shame that i dont see whats so gothic about it other than the fact that its the cure. Feels a lot less dark and gloomy in comparisson to their other albums to me atleast (im not goth what do i know). Its does get darker near the end though i guess. I dont want my fav cure album to be the least gothic one that feels lame as hell on my part
Gene Clark
4/5
very lovely
i fw gene clark heavy. single handedly changed my view of country music. still not fan of country, but if its from him i like it
AC/DC
2/5
just ruined my 8 good album streak FUCk!
The only song on here worth listening to you've already heard a billion tillion zillion times.
Pavement
4/5
This band is so crazy
Its sloppy in the best way possible. Perfect blend of indie rock and noise rock influenced textures. So cool, will def return
Paul McCartney and Wings
3/5
No where near as good as anything he made with the beatles, but still a fun change of pace
4/5
greatest album title of all time
fred durst is the best gen x-er to ever gen x, no competition. highkey its terrible but I can't help but love it. there's def better nu metal, but ts is so fucking fun idgaf
Curtis Mayfield
4/5
fantastic cover art omg
Sonic Youth
4/5
i feel like they have crazier albums than this but i still like it
Otis Redding
4/5
i was like, eh its alr, and then a change is gonna come starting playing and I got it. rly damn good, his vocals are crazy, nobody sings like this anymore
Radiohead
4/5
am i insane for liking this more than ok computer? radiohead is so fire when the doing weird electronic shit and not britpop bullshit
The White Stripes
3/5
not that this band or this album is necessarily bad but i just find them so uninteresting. feels like rock for annoying people who cry about rock being dead
Dirty Projectors
3/5
This what imagine trout mask replica sounded would've sounded like if the band was being tortured. And that somehow makes it worse??
It has its moments but its overall a bit annoying to listen to
Ray Price
3/5
i actually really liked the first track, Night Life. unfortunately the rest of the album couldn't match its weird nocturnal country vibe. such a unique song its a shame rest isn't like it
Bill Evans Trio
4/5
whenever a jazz album has low or mid ratings on here it always good sign for. HOLY PLEB FILTER this is so nice.
real high brow shit, got me fuckin snapping my finger in sans of clapping whenever one of the performers finishes one their crazy ass solos. not the most mind blowing jazz out there but still highly enjoyable
Sade
4/5
First Listen: Mar 12 2024
lovely album. sade is goated affff. so fucking smooth and groovy ahhh i loveee it
The Who
3/5
solid, live albums always go harder
James Taylor
2/5
not for me. steamroller made me intensely uncomfortable keep your cement to yourself creep
Tom Waits
4/5
omg the first song is in robots. i was gonna say it sounds like the chop song from robots, but it literally is the chop song from robots lmao
i'd be lying if said understood it, or that I loved it. I like that this list has really challenging music on it though. There's really cool shit on this album, most of it is kind of awful, but still interesting. Its a shame how fast people will write off strange ass music like this. give it a chance, its kind of cool i guess. 16 Shells From a Thirty-Ought-Six is so fucking good, I really hated for this first couple minutes and then my ears adjusted to it and its so fucking good omg. you can really hear the captain beefheart influence and to some that's the worst thing ever, but to me its exciting
Sly & The Family Stone
4/5
Richard Hawley
4/5
love me some melancholic rock. really hate that I don't like the country songs too much. i really thought the genre was growing on me, hate to see it :(
Radiohead
4/5
First Listen: Jul 21 2023
not my favorite radiohead album but its really cool tho
Manic Street Preachers
3/5
its brit pop so i feel like i should hate it but this kinda awesome fr
Kraftwerk
3/5
first beat on fl studio core
kind of cool but feels a bit too primitive to keep my attention. like why are all of the songs so long?
Motörhead
3/5
pretty badass i guess. this list has too much lame old metal, wheres all of the barely listenable screechy death metal shit, im tryna hear some of that
Common
3/5
good to know that kanye carried be. this good but def a lot weaker than his later material
My Bloody Valentine
4/5
i hope this is as good as people act like it is
way better than their debut. shoegaze is such a good genre, i pity those who don't like it.
Prince
5/5
actual music god
Doves

First Listen: Jan 02 2023
fav kendrick album. love how cinematic it is, excellent excellent excellent album
Nitin Sawhney
3/5
at best it's indian sade. at worst it just boring and little cringe. very interesting concept (?) but the execution is really messy overall
The Blue Nile
5/5
2.85 is crazy. i can't believe that people hate sophisti-pop, it's such a sick genre. album sick as fuck yall are genuinely so sauceless.
i rly loved this album
Joanna Newsom
4/5
big fan of the words she's saying, whatever they mean.
Justin Timberlake
3/5
justified stupid ass title
def not a must hear album but im pretty fond of cheesy radio rnb from the 2000s. also if the neptunes are in the credits than the album instantly gain points for me.
i lowkey loved the second half of the album ngl
Leonard Cohen
3/5
cool but not rly my thing
Elastica
4/5
i don't think women are capable of making bad punk
Christina Aguilera
2/5
78 minutes oh hell no
i kind of fw cheesy white girl soul. its not even bad but an hour and 20 minute is absurdly long for a project like this.
Beck
4/5
this is beck?? its so weird hearing be so serious. not as quirky as his other work but that's not necessarily a bad thing. he's such a talented and versatile musician
Soft Machine
4/5
this is gonna be so sick. 4 20 minute long songs according to rym its avant-prog jazz rock. fuck yes im so ready
really cool album, loved the second track, rest were still good but not as interesting to me. i still recommend checking it out its cool
The Temptations
4/5
really excellent soul/funk. love it
Pet Shop Boys
4/5
the dusty springfield feature is so sick. i fw really cheesy 80s pop so it appeals to me. if you don't fw this at all you're soulless to me.
Todd Rundgren
5/5
this is so fucking good. side a just being a rapid fire of banger, side b being a lot slower. this is does like everything and it manages to be great all throughout. im so impressed by this. kind of reminds me of a less messy alien lanes by guided by voices (also a great album)
Muddy Waters
5/5
this is like blues perfection to me. is that controversial? i just love everything about this album. i love how sporadic and improvisational the songs are, i love how dirty the guitars sound, I love the mix, his voice is crazy. it just so excellent, title wasn't lying this is HARD.
Björk
5/5
First Listen: May 03 2023
3 5/5s back to back, this album treating me right. literally have this vinyl in my dorm imma spin this rq
3.17 on this site, i want hurt the people on this site sometimes (im jokinggggg). this is such an otherworldly project, i really can't think of anything else like it. its for sure bjorks best work. love this album and her stupid ass swan dress
Marvin Gaye
4/5
i don't think marvin gaye can make bad music
The Libertines
2/5
theres way too much disposable indie rock on this list
The United States Of America
4/5
i feel like i hear a lot of psych rock and i never really understand why its considered to be psychedelic. this shit is definitely deserving of the title. really odd production and mixing all other the project and I love it. so otherworldly, really ironic when you consider the title. loved it
Adam & The Ants
2/5
this like the most off album ever. i feel like it wanted to be weird and experimental but none of it felt intentional. i was just confused the whole time and not in a "cool but idk what's happening kind of way". more in a "please make it end" kind of way
Neu!
4/5
krautrock is so cool
Peter Frampton
3/5
good but not 1hr 17mins good
The Sabres Of Paradise
2/5
whole album of ratchet and clank type beats. cool sound design i guess. just a very disinteresting album
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
3/5
feels a tad one note but i like the note if you know what i mean. I always fuck with this melancholic type shit
Astrud Gilberto
4/5
this is like stereolab if they were spanish and chill instead of french and pretentious (jk i love stereolab so much). don't get the hate for this, super chill and fun record. idk I just like samba and bossa nova music a lot. really enjoyed this. wish it was longer though, which is weird cause i always complain about albums being too long
Bad Brains
4/5
i like it, but i wont lie im very intrigued by their earlier reggae punk albums. i got to check those out on my own time, if they aren't on this list already
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
4/5
fs my favorite nick cave album i've gotten so far. I hope the rest are this good because I was already getting a bit sick of him
Willie Nelson
3/5
i blinked and it was half way over. it was okay but like wow this was a brief album
Coldcut
3/5
first track fucks so hard. i love house music yall are a bunch a puhsssies (extra emphasis on the puh)
(its not the best house music ever tho. ngl i've heard much better)
Jane Weaver
4/5
i really like the blend of pop and krautrock, its cool. love the textures on here. it's very stereolab coded i think thats why i like it so much
Sleater-Kinney
4/5
further proof of my theory that women make the best punk
The Verve
3/5
im so sick of britpop make it end... unless its the verve they're alright
The Prodigy
4/5
FUCK YES
this is like if every game on the og xbox was turned into album. idk if that makes any sense but that's the best way i can explain this album
Tim Buckley
3/5
smth about this is off idk how to explain it. he should stick to folk idk about this one
Metallica
3/5
its fine idk im just not a fan of metalica, its just the most boring plain jane ass metal to me
The Mothers Of Invention
4/5
good satire is always so sick to here. love it
Basement Jaxx
4/5
I LOVE HOUSE MUSIC!!! this feels so ahead of its time i love the dirty ass production. there's some questionable project choices on here ngl, but idc, ts would go crazy in club. i don't get the hate
same old show is awful tho ngl and it get worse near the end but that first half is excellent
pink pantheress sampled this on girl like me that makes me like the album more
A Tribe Called Quest
4/5
obv its good its tribe
Leonard Cohen
3/5
singer songwriter music doesn't really appeal to me. its not that i don't care about lyrism in my music, im more inclined to read into them when the surrounding instrumentation is also interesting. I'm sure the lyricsm on here is excellent when analyzed, and there were parts i like, famous blue raincoat was great. I just find the production to be so uninteresting. I also jus don't like his voice
its just not for me
also why is diamonds in the mine kinda reggae i feel like im going insane
Small Faces
3/5
who up flakin they nuts 👀👀👀👀
Fatboy Slim
3/5
oh hell yeah
tracks are little too long for my liking, but this is still pretty rad
ABBA
3/5
its fine. dancing queen is obv peak tho
LL Cool J
3/5
my only exposure to him was feature on the brad paisley song "accidental racist". so highkey i didn't trust him after hearing that. this alright tho. just alright though
Billy Bragg
4/5
type shit
Slint
4/5
rym core (and its precisely why i like it so much)
Butthole Surfers
4/5
they jus love outrageous shit don't they
bizzare af, how i like it
The Smashing Pumpkins
4/5
i like melan collie and the infinite sadness, I just couldn't stand the 2 hour runtime. great album, just wasn't into it enough to warrant the gargantuan length.
this is more of the same, just shorter and I like it a lot. good shit
Rod Stewart
2/5
dreadful
Sisters Of Mercy
4/5
Suede
4/5

4/5
god forbid a white boy get a lil funky
John Lennon
4/5
weird but i like it. its like if the drearier more experimental beatles songs weren't boring as hell
Leonard Cohen
2/5
who told him he can make music like this? can't believe im begging him to go back to the boring acoustic stuff
Mike Ladd
3/5
i like niche experimental hip-hop from the 2000s, but this is far from a must hear. i liked it more than most people on this site for sure. aside from some questionable bars, I found it pretty interesting. like a worse less psychedelic Quasimoto
Tito Puente
3/5
cha cha
good, but doesn't particularly interest me in any way
Scott Walker
2/5
slightly better than the other scott walker album i heard, but still pretty boring imo

fucking boring
Eminem
2/5
i will never enjoy this mans music. i don't even care about the lyrism, i find outrageous shit funny, this shit just sounds so bad. like a hate his aesthetics so much. the production so ass, the rapping so corny. all of the bar about people being offended by him and him not giving af reads so sensitive, shit corny af. buddy just stand on business. lame ass shit i'll never understand why he's so beloved
stream boolymon thats real rap
