I did not expect to like this so much. Glam 'hard' rock is really really really not my thing, but this album is filled to the brim with Bangers and well made songs Back loaded tho 8/10 Fav tracks - Jump, Drop Dead Legs, Hot for Teacher, I'll Wait, Girl Gone Bad, House of Pain, Least fav - Panama

I remember Michael Jackson coming on in a record store, hearing it on a high quality sound system for the first time opened my eyes towards how masterful it sounded. Surprisingly this is the first time I've given a full listen through of the album. My only criticism is it is slightly front loaded and the highs are so high that it makes songs that would otherwise be the highlights of an average album seem a lot worse. 9/10 Fav tracks - Wanna Be Startin' Somthin', Baby be Mine, The Girl is Mine, Thriller, Beat It, Billie Jean, P.Y.T (Pretty Young Thing), The Lady of My Life Least Fav - Human Nature

I'd never actually intentionally listened to Steely Dan, I'd involuntarily heard them on videogame Soundtracks, film and TV Soundtracks, in Markos car ect. But this is the first time I've sat my ass down and LISTENED. I thought I was gonna be a cynic, that it was gonna sound dated, kinda old and mildewy. Some albums from this era take a little bit to get the feel for. To catch what makes them so great, Paul McCartney's "Ram" for instance. This isn't like that at all. Every song is immediately, Jazzy or filled with soft rock joy that doesn't feel stale at all. Instead, fresh and original. Which might sound completely retarded but if this came out today I feel like it would still be a hit. Genuinely feels impossible not to be. 10/10 Fav tracks - All of 'em Least Fav - Perfect Album Particular highlights imo are Dirty Work, Kings and Midnight Cruiser

Phenomenal album. The Master is a Masterpiece, so good it made Running Gun seem way shitter than it was (even though after a couple listens it's still the worst track on the album imo) El Paso II is also a major highlight, type song to give a mf butterflies. Type of album to have so many great tracks one passes by and you gotta relisten cause you think it's an off cut but it ain't it's just as goated as the rest. 9/10 Fav tracks - Big Iron, They're Hanging Me Tonight, Cool Water, Billy the Kid, Utah Carol, The Strawberry Roan, The Masters Call, El Paso I, In the Valley, Little Green Valley, The Hanging Tree, Saddle Tramp, El Paso II Least Fav - Running Gun

An album that's only on this list because one of the books authors liked a couple of their songs and through on their most popular album. Overall pretty forgettable but otherwise inoffensive album with a few good to great tracks. I actually listened to this a few weeks ago and nothing stuck out but relistening the album was pretty chill and enjoyable. Idk maybe I'm being too generous. 7/10 Fav tracks - Message in a Bottle, Regatta de Blanc, Bring On The Night, Deathwish, Walking on the Moon, On Any Other Day, Contact, Does Everyone Stare Least Fav - None really

The chorus of you look good in the dance floor is so fucking milquetoast. Oh God, I forgot the whole album is like this. An album filled with songs with 10 seconds of a single amazing moment surrounded by utter mediocrity and blandness (4songs in) Riot Van, the only song I remembered being phenomenal on the album is still the goat Wait nvm I got home and finished listening to it, this might be one of my most personally contentious albums. FUCK this album is backloaded AS FUCK For context, for many years in highschool this WAS my favourite album of all time for quite some time. I returned to it a few years ago and thought it was mid as fuck and gave it a 4 /10 relistening to it today I think I was too harsh but it's easy to see why, the front half of this album is BAD and puts an AWFUL fucking taste in your mouth for the rest of the experience. Ima have to drop my individual track reviews for this one Length 1. "The View from the Afternoon" 8/10 2. "I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor" 3/10 3. "Fake Tales of San Francisco" 3/10 4. "Dancing Shoes" 3/10 5. "You Probably Couldn't See for the Lights but You Were Staring Straight at Me" 4/10 6. "Still Take You Home" 3/10 7. "Riot Van" 9/10 8. "Red Light Indicates Doors Are Secured" 8/10 9. "Mardy Bum" 8/10 10. "Perhaps Vampires Is a Bit Strong But..." 6/10 11. "When the Sun Goes Down" 8/10 12. "From the Ritz to the Rubble" 7/10 13. "A Certain Romance" 5/10 Average = 5.77 I'm gonna round down to 5/10 for the sake of the inconsistent listening experience. But will give 3 stars. What a ride

Strange Coincidence I literally listened to this album for the first time on my own a couple days ago. An album where every Second Song is a Masterpiece and every third song is just alright or just good. Suzanne, The Stranger Song, So Long Marriane, and Teachers are insane. 8/10 Fav tracks - Suzanne, Master Song, The Stranger Song, Sisters of Mercy; So Long, Marianne; Stories of The Street, Teachers, One of Us Cannot Be Wrong Least Fav - Hey, That's No Way to Say Goodbye

SHORT REVIEW TODAY EVERY SONG A BANGER, GREAT, OR EVEN PERHAPS PHENOMENAL 9/10 FAV TRACKS - ALL OF 'EM LEAST FAV - NONE

Jacob described this album to me as "Music for Retards", Still an alright album but. "Let It Rock" 6/10 Entertaining and fun guitars but forgettable "You Give Love a Bad Name" 9/10 Goated "Livin' on a Prayer" 7/10 Played to death, revived and then played to death a second time. Still good tho. Bonus points for being a working class song that's pro union, especially for such a massive hit. "Social Disease" 5/10 The beginning of True retard music, the writing on this track is awful "Wanted Dead or Alive" 7/10 Dad music as fuck. My Dad fucking hated Bonjovi, and Glam metal. He called it big hair metal. He would still get this stuck in his head though. Genuinely surprised there aren't more covers of this. It's begging for a Metallica cover I stg The next two both have decent guitar sections with horseshit writing and vocal performances "Raise Your Hands" 5/10 "Without Love" 5/10 "I'd Die for You" 6/10 I actually liked the vocal performance on this one. "Never Say goodbye" 3/10 This song made me thing of that video that went viral a little while ago of the two methheads that stole that Mercedes with the dash cam and mic on. This seems like a song they would romantically dance to. You know this has been played at some fuckwits wedding. "Wild in the Streets" 5/10 I forgot this one all ready and it's the last one I listened to. Average = 5.8 I'll give it 6/10

We have Morrissey at home sounding aaah front man. Do not let Taylor Hannon near this cunts he would have an anneurism listening to them. I had literally never heard of these guys before. I thought this was gonna be an easy 5/5 for me but then it mixed it up. I genuinely thought the first couple tracks were phenomenal. Then Geno, the most popular track on the album hit and it was downhill from there. A string of good but not great tracks and then a step lower. The final track was great though. This album is front loaded as fuck. The lowest 8/10 I can possibly give without it being a 7. Would probably be a 7.6 if I believed in such degenerate reviews Fav tracks - Burn it Down, Tell Me When the Light Turns Green, The Teams that Meet in Caffs, I'm Just Looking, There There My Dear Least Fav - Thankfully Not Living in Yorkshire it Doesn't apply

This album is insanely similar to the work of Gotye outside of his hits. It made me realise Gotye is a massive fucking hack since his entire non-mainstream music career is just a rip-off of this album.. I'm not mad though. Gotye improved upon it massively. This album to me is good but feels incomplete. It's trying to do so much with Sampledelia and achieves none of the punch or impact Gotye would a achieve a few years later. Most of the tracks on this album are good, very few are great. Broken Drum and Scarecrow are massive highlights for me. Sad pop Beck never fails for me. Love it. 7/10 Fav tracks - Que' Onda Guero, Girl, Missing, Black Tamorine, Earthquake Weather, Hell Yes, Broken Drum, Scarecrow, Farewell Ride, Rental Car, Emergency Exit, Send a Message to Her Least Fav - Go it Alone

Not much to say here, sorry for the short review. I think it's a Masterpiece, my top 2 highlights are Ain't No Way and (You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman. 10/10 Fav tracks - All -1 Least Fav - Groovin'

I thought this was great. Listened last week, forgot to write down my thoughts back then. Good Humor man is goated tho 8/10 Fav tracks - Alone Again Or, Andmoreagain, Old Man, The Red Telephone, Maybe the People Would be The Times or Between Clark and Hilldal..., Live and Let Live, The Good Humour Man He Sees Everything Like This, Bummer In the Summer, You Set the Scene. Least Fav - None Really

The blunt, chaotic sound of Sonic Youth's visionary but difficult early work had begun to give way to a more coherent and song-oriented attack on 1986's EVOL, and with 1987's Sister, Sonic Youth revealed that they were a great rock band as well as a great art band. From the shifting dynamics and disquieting mood of the opening track "Schizophrenia" to the ferocious coda of "White Cross," Sister was the work of a band that had grown impressively stronger and more unified in the 12 months since their previous long-player. The sheets of sound that issued from Thurston Moore and Lee Renaldo's re-tuned and modified guitars were still the core of their sound, but Sonic Youth's songcraft was steadily improving as they made better and more effective use of their aural palette and created a melodic context that helped their noisy report make greater dramatic sense. After going through a handful of drummers, Steve Shelley finally gave Sonic Youth the combination of chops, imagination, and force that they needed behind the kit, and while he certainly improved EVOL (his debut with the group), it was Sister where he truly make his mark: the steady pulse and rhythmic shadings of "Catholic Block," "Stereo Sanctity," and "Tuff Gnarl" helped firm up the tunes and added some discipline to Moore and Renaldo's exploratory guitar work that, remarkably, made their twisted instrumental figures more impressive and no less distinctive. And the warmth and clarity of Bill Titus' all-analog engineering made the guitars (and Kim Gordon's bass) sound as glorious as they always deserved; while Sonic Youth had been a band with great ideas from the start, Sister was where the execution finally caught up with the concept, and it was their first truly great album. 8/10 Fav tracks - Schizophrenia, Catholic Block, Beauty Lies in the Eye, Stereo Sanctity, Pipeline / Kill Time, Tuff Gnarl, Pacific Coast Highway, Cotton Crown, White Cross Least Fav - Hot Wire My Heart

A masterpiece in all aspects except for the fact its slightly overproduced. Been listening to this for years but it's never had that spark of pushing it to be a 10. 9/10 Fav tracks - all of 'em

Everything I listen to this album it's like the Vince McMahon meme, where I'm like, this is what a 10 sounds like, no wait this is, no wait this is. With each song until Vicar in a Tutu. Crazy that this ain't even their best imo. 10/10 Fav tracks - All - 1 Least Fav - Vicar in a Tutu

Didn't click for me nearly as much as Thriller, still a good album with some bangers Didn't really like some of the mixing felt that his voice was way too quiet on some tracks but that might be the version I listened too. Took a few listens for some tracks like Dirty Diana and the way you make me feel, to click and even after having it click, still weren't great imo. Not really a single bad track per se, just lots of alright to good tracks and only a couple which stuck out as great. 7/10

For a second I glimpsed into into how most members of this group feel about every other album. Complete apathy. So fucking front heavy, very strong opening. I don't actually think there's anything that's overwhelmingly bad like you could play just about any random song from this album and it'd be alright. It's just the the kill people slonk gang weed gets old quick and it really feels like come on get to the point. There's so many bands that garnered an audience just from singles around this era, this feels like another one. Fav tracks - Pigs, How I could just kill a man, Hand on the Pump, Hole in the Head, The Phuncky Feel one, Real Estate Least Fav - Ultra Violet Dreams

A serviceable, and good Blues album that tends to ebb towards generic. On my first listen I thought it was super middle heavy, on a second listen I realised it's a lot more spread out and there's some songs especially towards the start that I didn't give enough credit. A good album that could use a touch more eccentricity 7/10 Fav tracks - All -2 Least Fav - My Dream

Who's horny ass BOOMER grandma put this on the greatest albums of all time. ME FELLA, IM THAT HORNY ASS GRANDMA, THIS SHIT SLAPPED, Made to love is sweet corny and camp, That's just to much whips you into the feels, Sigh, Cry, Almost Die, is a MAJOR BANGER It's always you gave me butterflies and is an astoundingly beautiful love song. Lucille makes me wanna get up and dance. Donna, Donna is another great track which constantly brings me back. And Cathy's Clown's country sounds add the perfect touch to end the album on. Such a short, sweet and ENERGETIC romp. I'm giving it an 8/10 or now cause I don't think it's a Masterpiece or anything but it grows on me every listen and I could see it very easily climbing to a 9/10

Where beasties boys and where hear to say we had a horrible influence on music in a major way! This is my first front to back beastie. Boys and there's a lot to like. But God damn can these guys and only these guys get away with a flow like this and it's influence and widespread adoption in the mainstream has drilled a Hole in my skull with its usual shithouse execution that took multiple listens to even remotely allow me to appreciate it. Which I did end up doing. It's just a massive shame that the sampedelia production wasn't what was widely accepted and instead it was a flow that no-one else can effectively replicate and then ruins it for everyone. Understandable if you love this one, if it was an instrumental would would be an 8 or 9 Fav tracks - Shake Your Rump, Johnny Ryall, Egg Man, High Planes Drifter, The Sounds of Silence, Hey Ladies, Looking down the barrel of a gun, What comes around, Shadrach Least Fav - 3-Minute Rule

Y'all already know what I'm rating this. One of the best albums from one of my favourite bands. They only way I could dick ride this harder was if it was OK Computer. It's got lush, deep, beautiful production that never even remotely comes close to sounding over produced. It's about as perfect an album can get to sounding its got hidden beauty that you only discover on a second, third or 15th listen. 10/10 Fav tracks- perfect album

It's miraculous to me that someone like Damon Albarn whose the vast majority of his work is criticised in sounding like Gorillaz B-cuts even with 4 other known artists collaborating on the project still achieves this. I do love his voice but c'mon all this shit sounds like the Fall just a bit better. Albarn doesn't know when to quit or atleast take his time, he has so many projects beneath his belt and countless albums but only a handful of great ones. I actually liked the vast majority of songs, the opening and closing tracks are definitely the highlights but it took me a couple listens to really get into the album. 7/10 Fav tracks - History Song, Northern Whale, Herculean, Behind the Sun, The Bunting Song, Nature Springs, Three Changes, The Good the Bad and the Queen Least Fav - 80s life, Soldier Tale

My first listen I thought I was listening to one of my new all time favourites, this album captures a range of emotions so well, it's surprisingly funny, but also melancholic and introspective. Waits has a way with words that can't be understated. On further listens the recency bias wore of a bit and I saw it for what it was, a little rough around the edges but a still astonishing piece of spoken word poetry, delivered by one of the best voices in music over the top of remarkable jazz. I have no doubt for those who saw this live it was life changing. I also can't see why you could dislike this album, think it's just good or alright maybe but the jazz is so good and the delivery so capturing it couldn't possibly get a bad review... right? Right? Low 9/10 for now but definitely something I'm going to return to regularly , really awesome to capture a live performance of a GOAT before his prime. A really magical and important album. 1001 - 26 (24 Was Kid A btw hence no review) Tom Waits - Nighthawks at the Diner (1975) Genre - Spoken Word, Jazz added to the music list. 🐍 9/10 Fav tracks - Opening Intro, Emotional Weather Report, Eggs and Sausage, Better of Without a Wife, Nighthawk Postcard (Free Easy Street), Warm Beer and Cold Women, Putnam County, Spare Parts I (A Nocturnal Emmission), Big Joe and Phantom 309, Spare Parts II and closing Least Fav - None really

Nostalgia bait for millennial and gen x as it falls right on the edge of their respective music tastes Because of this one might expect the most insufferable album ever created. But in a cruel twist of fate its just the album a British hit single happened to be on. It's bland beyond understanding. The first couple tracks are okay but sound but don't really go anywhere interesting and when you think they're about to they just end. Beyond that you just get tired melodies and riffs and vocal flourishes that had fucking nothing but sounding like 50 alt rock singles you might hear in a shopping centre in the UK or a pig and whistle in Australia. This is the first album on this project I have genuinely experienced displeasure listening to. Looking glass is the only track on the album I might return to but even then it's hard to not imagine some skinny gen x with long hair and a soul patch biting his bottom lip and thrusting while he belts out the same chord on one of the few halfway decent songs on the album. This sing gave me a little hope before plunging itself back into a few more songs that aren't bad but go nowhere and then a few more songs that are bad and bland and also go nowhere. I can't sleep and Doledrum are also okay I guess. This album didn't need to be over an hour, what made you think you ate musically competent enough to demand someone's attention for longer than a standard 45 minutes. Entitled pricks. 4/10 Fav tracks - I can't sleep, There She Goes, Doledrum, Looking Glass Least Fav - The rest

Shit review today from me, been super busy, bretty great, no complaints all round good as album. Liked all the track didnt dislike any. Give me your love was my favourite cause it reminded me of Gran Turismo 4

Not really my bag bit hard to deny this is a great album. If this was up your alley could very easily understand someone giving the album a 10/10 Last two songs felt a bit tacked on. Lazy a Masterpiece though fr, loved that track. Fav tracks - All of em -2 Least Fav - Space Truckin', When a Blind Man Cries

God damn I hated this shit on the first listen, one of the most boring generic ass Brit pop / rock ever conceived. Sounded like literally everything from the era. If you plugged a description of this album into an AI it would spit out something identical. On further listens it wasn't that bad and actually had some alright tracks. How High is genuinely the only good track though. Still just sooooooo average, not even bad just the most average of average of average. 5/10 Fav tracks - Tellin' Stories, One to Another, Area 51, How High, Rob's theme Least Fav - North Country Boy

On my first listen I thought disk 1 was substantially better than disk 2. On my second listen, I thought the second disk was equally as good if not marginally better. This album isn't a Masterpiece but every track is enjoyable. Sure some tracks feel a little dorky but that adds to their charm. Visions of Johanna through to Mr Tamborine man are all hands down masterpieces and would be best track on any other album but here they are back to back to back bangers and make it genuinely hard to pick a favourite or the best. (It's gotta be Just Like a woman lol) BUT THEN MY BOY DOES IT AGAIN. Back to back to back bangers on disk 2 From Leopard Skin pillbox hat through to rolling Stone. And for whatever fuckibg reason this album wasn't just influential on Folk, Blues and rock but also contemporary experimental hip-hop for some reason!? And definitely contemporary blues. Awesome tracks. 9/10 Fav tracks - All - 1 Least Fav - Just Like Tom Thumbs Blues

Okay, I'm prepared for the incoming pretentious, fart sniffing, pontificating allegations. And I ain't beating them. I'm also not going to go to war with everyone. I'm just going to put my best case forward for this album. Talking Heads realised their first feature Length album in '77 it was wildly ahead of its time in predicting the sounds that would define the 80s but also in its sampling, editing and production techniques. This only grew on future albums. Similarly, even earlier White Light / White Heat by the Velvet Underground came out in 68 and capture the textures, Fuzz and Punk that would explode in the early 70s with Branca, Sonic Youth, the Swans and all other subsequent alt rock and Punk projects of the late 70s and early 80s What does this album have to do with any of that? It released in 78 and was riving that second end of a decade wave of innovation. No-one was making sounds like this this, except for Eno and before him Halim El-Dabh on his single Lady and the Poet single and some faggots out of Princeton Uni music department. There's probably others but those are the ones I know of. I was disappointed by the track hit by a rock cause it felt like it was going somewhere but didn't. I felt as though not only is the album deeply experimental but it has nothing to show for it. Thankfully I didn't feel that way throughout. In fact everything up to and including Dead on arrival didn't amount to much other than an early use of sampling in this manner. However, weeping blew me away, this track came out nearly 50 years ago and it sounds like an experimental track that would have came out today. It's so unique and beautiful and sad. Hometime pushed me, the moments of babies Cries really got under my skin. And that was the point. By experimenting with sampling you are able to create soundscapes once unthought. Music doesn't have to be catchy and danceable it can be foreboding and scary. This track filled me with a sense of dread. Very cool. Hamburger lady minus the vocals if used for the Soundtrack of a contemporary horror film would receive praise for its building of tension, the imagery associated with it is immaculate. Some people are amazed that Aphex Twin developed some of his early works in the mid 80s, AB/7A came out in 78, c'mon you gotta admit that's pretty cool. I feel the same way about E-coli as hamburger lady, could make it onto a horror movie Soundtrack today and no-one would bat an eye and may even give it praise. Walls of sound, is a premonition of the looping soundscapes of no-wave and influence as mentioned above that would dominate the early 80s and have a lasting impact on all alt rock going forward. This album reminds of Enos album another green world. And while he might have beat them to the punch this album is certainly remarkable and influential for its time and certainly deserving of a spot on the list. What people need to understand is, that this album while not to most peoples taste isn't a Flaming garbage heap, it's not just banging noises together. I've been to dogshit live noise shows, anyone can bang some shit together and call it music. That's a 1/5. This isn't that. This is well composed, influential, ahead of its time. It had structure and nuance. 8/10 Fav tracks - IBM, Weeping, Hamburger Lady, Hometime, AB/7A, E-Coli, Walls of Sound Least fav - none really

I'm genuinely concerned for the well-being of children who were brought up in an environment where they were exposed to parents who were a fan of this. We're not supposed to is particularly egregious. Strange ones and time to go are the least painful to get through the latter only cause they're singing about the album ending. I don't like the way the guy on the left is looking at me. Fuck this was bad 2/10

A little bit back loaded as my favourite tracks were the second Lady from impanema, so danco samba and o grande amor. Genuinely pleasant though. Liked every track. Not much to say really

Such a nothing burger album so I'm going to give a nothing burger review. 4/10 Fav tracks - Pull Together, Streets of Kenny, Cornish Town, Daniella, Least Fav - The rest

Fuck he's so cool. Everyone's already talked about the highlights in chat so, but yeah full of great moments 8/10 Fav tracks - Wanted man, I Walk the Line, Starville City Jail, San Quentin, A Boy Named Sue, Folsom Prison Blues Least Fav - None

Maybe (?) The most front loaded album ever created. I LOVED the first 4 tracks on this thing, I listened to the album over and over and over and I just couldn't get around that back half. Those first four tracks though, mf masterpieces. 7/10 Fav tracks - El Cumbanchero, Billumba-Palo Congo, Choferito-Plena, Asabache, Least Fav - Simba

The only time I've ever voluntarily listened to so fresh and so clean and I was miserable, aside from that I thought it was a mix of tracks ranging from alright to great. Genuinely unique and innovative on some of these and really simple and catchy on others. Wouldn't go as far as to say that this was a phenomenal album but I could see an argument for great. While I'm just resting at good. Definitely deserves to be on the list especially with the massive cultural legacy and impact Outkast has had. 7/10 Fav tracks - gasoline dreams, Ms Jackson, Snappin and Trappin, I'll call B4 I cum, B.O.B, Xplosion, We Luv deez Hoez, Humble Mumble, Red Velvet, Slumbers Velvet Least Fav - so fresh and so clean

If I knew nothing about Amy Winehouse she would definitely give off the vibe of a girl who says bruh, smokes too much weed and kinda has the same vibe as ogre Fiona from Shrek and despite this still gets mad at you when she overhears you playfully call your mate a retard cause it's offensive or whatever. Anyway important and deserving album to be on the list but still mid, none of the songs where bad, the title track is fantastic but not enough to save the album. Slightly backloaded but barely. Next album please. 5/10 Fav tracks - Black to Black, Tears Dry on Their Own, Least Fav - None

It was good but not great, can definitely see how influential it was and where the influences went but probably wouldn't return to it aside from a couple songs. Genuinely feels like we've had three albums in a row that definitely deserve to be on the list but aren't great. 7/10 Fav tracks - The Next Big Thing, Back to Africa, Master Race Rock, Two Tub Man, Weekend Least Fav - None

Great Album, (Im) in Deep and Which Doctor are masterpieces easy. Just kinda liked other electronic artists around this time a bit more, Larry Levan or Brian Eno for example. And I understand this is doing something different and is extremely influential but I'm generally more of a fan of what came to be than what's on display here. Still great though with a few tracks I love. 8/10 Fav tracks - People Hold On, Fat (Party & Bullshit ) , (I'm) In Deep, Which Doctor, Beats & Pieces [Mo Bass Remix], Stop This Crazy Thing [Hedmaster Mix] Least Fav - None

Genuinely loved side A and thought this album was tracking for a really high score. Then side b hits and it falls of completely, it becomes a slurry of the same vocal distortion. Samey is a very lazy criticism but side B is just that, with the exception of Equator every track sounds the exact same with little or no difference. These guys clearly had an EP and were pushed or for some reason where asked to extend it to an LP and rushed it and shat the bed. 6/10 Fav tracks - The Town Ain't Big Enough for the Both of Us, Falling In Love with myself again, Here in Heaven, Thank God it's not Christmas, Equator Least Fav - The rest

Family Business aka music Bundy Bogans play at funerals. Aside from this track I had very little exposure to this album and I had only heard that song cause I once was talking to a fat bogan chick about music out the front of fat Louis and she held her phone up to ear yarning about how family means everything to her and even though she hates her cousin who crashed her commo she still loves her.. Anyway great album. Jesus Walks is huge highlight but so are all the others in my fav tracks. 8/10 Fav tracks - We Don't Care, Graduation Day, Spaceship, Jesus Walks, Get Em High, The New Workout Plan, Slow Jamz, Breathe in Breath Out, Two Words, Last Call Least Fav - Family Business

May as well get Jackbot to write this review cause that's about how I feel towards this thing, it's got that dad rock vibe and makes for alright background music I guess, but it's not really my thing. Actually that last bit isn't true this is normally massively my thing but I just didn't have enough to sink my teeth into. Didn't help that after each listen a beach boys track played and juxtaposed the mediocrity. Then on the third listen a track with them and bob Dylan played and was infinitely better. Not a bad all by any means it's even got some tracks I'll definitely return to. 6/10 Fav tracks - Tears of Rage, In a Station, The Weight, We can Talk, This Wheels on Fire Least Fav - None really

Completely inoffensive and obviously important. Just can't shake the feeling that I'm going to... Wait what was I going to say? Idk someone about how how just what I needed is the only memorable song on the album. Completely eclipsed by what it helped to inspire but I'd take this over brit-pop any day 6/10 Fav tracks - Good times roll, just what I needed, all mixed up Least Fav - None really

This music moreso than a lot of the other stuff we've listened to is particularly subjective, I never have found the font man of these guys grating but on this I can definitely see how it could. I personally loved the drums it's gated or reverby or something I can't describe but I love it. I think there's definitely a reason that despite giving it a 9 4 years ago I never returned to it a other than a few tracks. Adored sleeping on the roof. 9/10 -> 7/10 Fav tracks - Race for the prize, a spoonful weighs a ton, the spark that bled, buggin, what is that light?, The observer, sleeping on the roof Least Fav - The spiderbite song

Britpop had its moment in the 90s and Travis here is a little late for the train. So he waits on the platform for the radiohead express. He does Brit-pop better than the vast majority of the other hog water but pales in comparison to radiohead (he wants to be them so bad) 6/10 Fav tracks - As You Are, The Last Laugh of the Laughter, Slide Show Least Fav - None really

Not much to say, great album. The title track is astounding. 8/10 Fav tracks - All-1 Least Fav - See the Sky about rain

Fake ass dad rock enjoyers will say they love the stuff and then when REAL gen x Dad rock walks in they'll rate it poorly 7/10 Fav tracks - Let Me Drown, Superunknown, Head Down, Limo Wreck, The Day I Tried to Live, Kickstand, 4th of July, Half, Least Fav - Fell on Black days

This album is my version of that experiment where they asked a stranger to hold their drink and then asked how their day was and if they gave them a cold drink they said it was shit and if it was a warm one they said it was good except it's me finding out this guy is a pedo the day before. Which is a shame since I like every song on this album and I'd never heard this album in its entirety but have been an iggy and the Stooges fan for quite some time Obviously deserves a spot Punk wouldn't exist without it and the unintentional(?) shitty mixing is to thank for a stylistic trope of a generation of albums. On Any other given day I might have given this album a 9 or a 10 which it probably deserves. 8/10 Fav tracks - All of 'em Least Fav - n/a

Aw sweet a boomer nostalgia trip. It's amazing how this album manages to encompass both the fake hippie bullshit and their shift towards conservative neo-liberalism. You just know some cringe ass BOOMER has cried to With all nations. It's amazing how much this album nailed an entire generation like yeah all you cunts are peace and love and anti-establihment now, but by the 90s you'll vote conservative for 30 years out of fear for the price of your home going down. It's also worth questioning how influential ALL these bands could really be since the vocal production on all these fucking albums from this era sound identical. But the turn of the century boomer prediction does go crazy. 7/10 Fav tracks - Odessa (City on the Black Sea), You'll Never See My Face Again, Whisper Whisper, Lamplight, Seven Seas Symphony, With All Nations (International Anthem), First of May, The British Opera Least Fav - A few of the others

Music for attention seeking normies 7/10 Fav tracks - Red Rain, Don't give up, Mercy Street, Big Time, We Do What We're Told (Milgram's 37), This is the Picture (Excellent Birds) Least Fav - Sledgehammer

I liked this album a fuck ton more than more other Elliot Smith stuff I've heard. Which is to say, it was good. I reckon could give this a 1, cause I did notice this is definitely an album you can't zone out to, it demands your attention especially to notice all of its little details and instrumental depth. 7/10 Fav tracks - Son of Sam, Junk Bond Trader, Everything Means Nothing to Me, L.A., Stupidity Tries, Easy Way Out, Wouldn't Mama Be Proud, The Gondola Man, Can't Make A Sound, Bye, Because Least Fav - None really

Not the earliest Heavy Metal nor remotely the best, only deserves a spot on the list as it serves as the debut for one of the greats of the genre. Every song was alright 6/10 Fav tracks - All -2 Least Fav - Running Free

What a nice album, I sure hope he has a good relationship with his wife and kids! I really wanted to love this, that opening track is amazing and gave me really high hopes, but ultimately failed to deliver. I'm sure he'd have a different album I'd enjoy more. But as far as this goes it's just good. 7/10 Fav tracks - Aalach Tloumouni, Imagine, Ya Aachkou, Melha, Raba-Raba, El Bab, Gouloulha-Dji, Derwiche Tourneur Least Fav - None really

I feel the same way about this as Marko feels about that Stooges album, one track you adore surrounded by a bunch of other good tracks. Definitely front heavy but a lot more tracks I'll return to this time upon returning to the album. I think The Jesus Lizard captured the vibe this album was going for but just noisier and better on LIAR but still a good album in its own right. 7/10 Fav tracks - Turnover, Repeater, Merchandise, Blueprint, Two Beats Off, Styrofoam, Reprovisional, Shut the Door, Joe 1 Least Fav - None really

Was a third through the album and was genuinely thinking my review was going to be "My only complaint is that this isn't longer and that there's a white woman on the front cover. Masterpiece" But then the second half of this album and its ass compared to the front. The first 6 tracks of this album are genuine masterpieces and I wish they were longer and made up the entirety of the album. That being said the back is still alright to good and it's still a cool and easy great 33 minutes. 8/10 Fav tracks - Ole Man Trouble, Respect, A Change is Gonna Come, Down in the Valley, Shake Least Fav - ehhhhhhhhhhhh,

Is it weird that I liked the live one more than this? 8/10 Fav tracks - All-3 Least Fav - Love minus zero, on the road again, gates of Eden

Mid 5/10 Fav tracks - Rich, Tick, Cold Light, Maps, Y Control Least Fav - The rest of them, but also none really

Listened to this album a million times always thought it was good but not great no matter how many times I tried for it to click. This time it kinda did, felt more than just some good pop of its era, a lot more emotionally resonant, a really sad album tbh despite what it appears at a cursory glance. 8/10 Fav tracks - Wouldn't it be nice, you still believe in me, don't talk (put your head on my shoulder), I'm waiting for the day, God only knows, I know the answer, here today, I just wasn't made for these times, Least Fav - None really

An album put on this list by Music critics which agreed with ALL the decisions of the Blair government. Not a single even half good track on this thing. Genuinely appalling. 1/10 Fav tracks - N/A Least Fav - failure album bruh

Fuck the vocal performance on this thing is bad, which is a shame since I actually liked some of the instrumental. The guitars on this heavily inspired Albini and a lot of noise rock which I gotta give it rep for but otherwise an unenjoyable experience. 5/10 Fav tracks - Swan Lake, Poptones, Chant, Radio 4 Least Fav - The rest

Not really much to say, just a phenomenal album, not a bad track 9/10 Fav tracks - All of em Least Fav - n/a

I guess the opening track was okay 3/10 Fav tracks - none Least Fav - n/a

A good album that ultimately packs less of a lunch that it could or should given the heights the album already reaches 7/10 Fav tracks - Soma, Barely Legal, Someday, Last Nite, Hard to Explain, New York City Cops, Trying Your Luck Least Fav - None really

A good album with a lot of high moments. Pretty backloaded and lacked the oomf it nearly had but I wish it had more of 7/10 Fav tracks - bye bye bad man, (Song for my) Sugar Spun Sister, Made of Stone, I am the Ressurection Least Fav - n/a

If you don't like this album you're a retarded contrarian hipster, this album fucks. That being said it's not perfect and there's a pretty wide gap between the phenomenal tracks on this album and the good ones 9/10

A little backloaded but otherwise phenomenal album 9/10 Fav tracks - building a stream with a grain of salt, Changeling, Stem/Long Stem, Mutual Slump, Napalm Brain / Scatter Brain, What does you soul look like pt. 1 Least Fav - none

Not as magical this time around probably cause I own it on record and listening to it in my shitty earbuds doesn't compare. Also one of my most relistened albums. Sounds crazy but arguably has 3 of the greatest tracks of all time. Running up that hill, waking the Witch jig of life. And yes I mean all time greatest tracks not just Bush greats or pop greats. Music greats. You could even further the argument and extend it to cloud busting as well. It's a Masterpiece, no ifs or buts. The first time I heard this I was delivering pizzas and I thought I had crashed my car and fucking died and was simply hallucinating finishing the delivery meanwhile my soul stood before St peter. That's how this album makes me feel. 10/10

I've always found 2Pac to be overrated. This album and his music in general is completely listenable but lacks the ability to grab you. You know the albums mid when you repeatedly think to yourself about how long you've been listening to this, and the first song that comes on shuffle after the album finishes is better than any song on the album 6/10 Fav tracks - Heavy in the game Least Fav - none

While this album doesn't reach the heights of Marty Robbins, nor the depth of Johnny Cash or its Genre Siblings in Townes Van Zandt, it brings to the table a remarkable level of consistency. Although what I'm about to say may seem to contrast the aforementioned statement. EXTREMELY front loaded. 8/10 Fav tracks - I've got a tiger by the tail, let the sad times roll on, Wham Bam, If You Fall Out of Love With Me, Fallin for you, The Band Keeps Playin' On, Streets of Laredo, This Ol Heart Least Fav - none really

Hidden review, hidden review 5/10 Fav tracks - Touch Me I'm Sick, Sweet Young Thing Ain't Sweet No More, Chain That Door, No One Has, Burn It Clean, Least Fav - idek, this album is 2hours 15 minutes and I liked 4 songs off it

She wondering if I should on the Pogues until I fall from Grace With God I hate Gimick shit, power metal, sea shanties, bard-core. This reminds me of that but is actually good Really fucking front loaded tho 7/10 Fav tracks - Turkish Song of the Damned, Bottle of Smoke, Fairytale of New York, Medley, Sketches of spain Least Fav - none really

A competently made album that just ain't for me. 5/10 Fav tracks - none really Least Fav - none really

Crazy that this came out in '96 so insanely ahead of its time, sounds like the indie pop /rock of mid 2010s if it wasn't shit 9/10 Fav tracks - Your New Cuckoo, Been It, Step On Me, Losers, Iron Man, Choke, Least Fav - none really

Yeah I'm a Doors fan I love that all their albums not only benefit from multiple listens but demand them, and each time they reveal something a little more 8/10 Fav tracks - All-2 Least fav - Hyacinth house, crawling king snake

Could never get around these guys, no matter which album I try they have some undeniable hits but it always just ends up being eh as a whole 5/10 Fav tracks- Papa won't leave you, Henry Least fav - ehhhhhhhggg

Listening to this album made be feel like Vito in the gay club It's a good album, but it's also really fucking annoying Playboy Carti's self titled album is better anyway Front loaded as fuck 7/10 Fav tracks - Brighton rock, killer queen, tenement funster Least fav - none

RuPaul wants to be this guy so bad 7/10 Fav tracks - The Beautiful ones, Darling Nikki, I would Die 4 U Least fav - none really

Lazy review lazy review 9/10 Fav tracks - Bring Da Rukus, Clan In Da Front, Wu-Tang 7th Chamber, Can it All be so Simple / Intermission, Da Mystery of Chess Boxin', C.R.E.A.M, Method Man, Least Fav - none really

Sounds like just about everything that came out of this era, feels to me like clone of other shit. Liked a few of the more stripped back quieter tracks The most innovative part of this album is its awesome cover which admitted is ahead of its time 5/10 Fav tracks - On Sir Francis Drake, Trillium Least Fav - none really

Lol I mixed this up with my Regatta review, thank God I was gonma give them the same thing. Am I cooked? 6/10 Fav tracks- mother, syncronicity II, murder by numbers Least fav - none really

This album is right up my alley Genre wise but failed to stick the landing on enough songs to thoughly impress me 6/10 Fav tracks - camping next to water, a other Pearl Least fav - none really

Yeah I think I've finally settled on the fact this album is great Front loaded tho 8/10 Fav tracks - mojo pin, Grace, so real; lover, you should have come; corpus Christi Carol, eternal life, dream brother, forget her Least fav - none really

Not as good on a re-listen The quintessential album for born late in the generation boomer who had kids at a really young age. This album is not the first of any of its respective genres but its some of the best showing in them. 9/10 Fav tracks - All of 'em

...I'm stupefied by how uninterested I am by the album 5/10 Fav tracks- our house Least fav - idk man

4/10 Fav tracks - Strictly confidential Least Fav - ehhhhhhhhh

The longest 39 minutes of my entire life 5/10 Fav tracks - Basket Case Least Fav - All by Myself

Unremarkable 6/10 Fav tracks - flutes Least Fav - eghhhhhhh

I'm so tired boss 8/10 Fav tracks - Ghost Rider, Rocket USA, Cheree, Frankie Tear-drop, Che Least Fav - none really

An extremely well made album that isn't my thing at all. 6/10

Not the best from the Smiths but still good. Extremely backloaded, had never heard the title track, what a Masterpiece. 7/10 Fav tracks - I want the One I can't have, The Joke isn't funny anymore, well I wonder, barbarism begins at home, meat is Murder Least fav - idk

One hit wonder album, completely uninteresting 5/10 Fav tracks - La Grange, Jesus Just Left Cicago (live)

7/10

Front loaded as fuck but still phenomenal 9/10 Fav tracks - Do You Wanna Dance, Good to my Baby, Don't Hurt my Little Sister, When I Grow Up (To Be a Man), Help me Rhonda, Bull Session with "Big Daddy" Least fav - None

Phenomenal, manages to capture that magic spot between nostalgic original which makes it endlessly listenable. The Good thing especially, has that quality in Spades. 9/10 Fav tracks - Thankyou for sending me an Angel, The Good Thing, Warning Sign, Found a Job, Stay Hungry, Take Me to the River, I'm Not in Love (Alt version), Thankyou for Sending me a (Country) Angel Least fav - N/A

The last two tracks are okay I guess, but Jesus this ain't even mid. 3/10

A couple good singles, even a good album at times but it fails to come together 6/10 Fav tracks - Sad but True, The Unforgiven, the God that failed

Android needs to invest in implementing an emoji of someone guzzling cum, cause that best describes this album, it's good, but I wasn't the first, nor was it influential or innovative. But it is British. 7/10 Fav tracks - here it comes, break me gently, Sea Song, Melody Calls

Not much to say, a pleasant listen and a pleasant surprise, was not expecting a band with such a shit name to make such decent music Didn't adore many of the tracks but they were all alright to good Barely scrapes into a 4 7/10 Fav tracks - Be-in, Orange, I Love You, Good Morning

Pretty sure every song on this album is a 5/10 and for that reason given its commitment to complete and total utter mediocrity I gotta deduct a point. I'm pretty sure I forgot about ever having listened to thus album mid way through listening to it 4/10 Fav tracks - none Least fav - none

Big Radiohead fan but first time listening to this, pleasantly surprised. I actually think the high points of this album are better than Kid A in some respects but unfortunately just lacks the complete consistency to get itself there. 9/10 Fav tracks - 2+2=5, Sit Down. Stand Up, Backdrifts , Where I End and You Begin, There There, A Punch Up at a Wedding, Myxomatosis Least fav - none

Expected to like this way more, still cool it came out in 89 though 6/10 Fav tracks - The Magic Number, DAISY age, De La Orgee

Alright, it's just a shame that once this album ended the songs that played by her from different albums were immediately better. Definitely prefer her tracks like losing you and stay flo or songs in the same realm but by different artists like Her light by cleo soul or Blood and Marrow by Hiatus Kaiyote more than anything off this album. A great artist, phenomenal even, just not her best stuff imo Album is super backloaded too, and I think she knows this by the way it's structured with those song by song interludes at the very back. 6/10 Fav tracks - Junie, Don't Wish Me Well, Scales

So fucking boring 3/10
