Liked it but not as much as Bitches Brew

Kept losing my attention - got better as it went on.

Morrissey ruins everything.

First 5er

Not much on the lyric front

Liked this more than expected and some songs stand out, but it seems to devolve to noise more than it needs to.

Tough listen

Enjoyed that more than expected. It’s probably been over 35 years since I listened to it. It was over some kid named marks house. His older brother had it.

Not my thing at all - dated sound.

Almost a 5. Very enjoyable.

Big surprise

Interesting - cheap Bowie with some sad horns and a harmonica breakdown at end.

Could be a five but it’s like my fifth fav radiohead album

Pushing for the worst so far

Vocals lost me a bit - a lil too excitable for the music.

Who let the werewolves in?

Fun fact - never really listened to them before.

Doors have never been my thing.

Another Iron Maiden?

That ain’t London calling, but not many albums are

Felt like I was listening to Blur at times

Felt repetitive at times

Quintessential Noodly

Almost a 4 TBH - cosmic country AF

Zombies >>> White Zombie >>>>>> zombie

Better than expected

Panama is a 6.

One the best Metallica song, but this album not as strong as I remember it

Only got into GBV lightly. I’d think I’d like em better if their songs were twice as long and half as many per album.

Can we chill with the britpop?

I don’t remember these guys at all but not bad

Hadn’t listened front to back since it came out. Listening again, it one of my favorite rap albums of all time…. Still a 4!

I should have done some drugs before I listened to this.

I just don’t jive with Springsteen. I recognize this is good, but just not my thing.

Well call you boring oasis

First album that I ever owneed

Haven’t listened to them since like 2005 - forgot how good .

When guitarists make piano albums

That time when Madonna reinvented herself as a one hit wonder

I did like this more than expected but overall not exceptional

For some reason I thought my bloody valentine was an emo band.

Almost a 5

Close to a 5

Not as good as the other 2

Had no idea this was from the 90s

This was almost a 5 and I was shocked by that.

It takes balls to open up with your biggest song. Start strong / end strong, I guess. Almost a 2, but Lemmys mole made me give it a 3.

Struggled between a 4 and a 5 here.

Teenage angst paid off well

Yeah? Well we invented the missionary position... You're welcome.

Now I know why they ordered the London symphony… to get on this list.

It felt like it was gonna cool places, but just didn’t. Phil Collins doesn’t shower often.

Xmu fan over here

I wanted to give this a 3, but street fighting man and sympathy….

Better than expected TBH. Start strong….

1 of 4 zeppelin 5s is number 4

Unsure how this album made the cut for the Beta Band. I remember them being a better than this and based on popularity, this one doesn’t have many big songs.

I was almost gonna give it a 2 but no. The dru hill song sucked the life that made gave me out of me.

Nothing wrong with it. Just not my thing

Great example of a marginal album by a great artist that doesn’t need to be on here

It would be cool if Song 2 was the 3rd track

Tough to decide between 3 and 4 here

I feel like there’s so much happening with her music but also absolutely nothing

Most every song has the feeling of an album opener. I don’t know how that feels.

I thought I was gonna like this

Dollar store lemmy kept getting worse

Unexpected 4

The last song kinda lost me and that’s tough when an album is 4 songs

Tough to not give it a 5

Always liked Barry town from hearing Ben folds five covering it

Boring

I know I’m wrong about the 4, but he said Harrisburg!

Unsure Beck has a bad album

Some of the songs are way too long

I’ve jus never really liked them.

Huh

🥱

Is this an oasis b side album? I liked the instrumental.

This would have got a 4 if it had the Anthrax collab version of bring the noise as a bonus track.

Lyin’ in Bed just like Dennis Wilson did

I don’t get this one making the list.

Almost a 5

Better than exoected

I thought I was stroking out at different points

I enjoy the old soul groups covering songs but it does take away from the overall “greatness” of the albums.

I only gave it a 3 cause bootylicious is an anthem for the ages.

Good stuff

Fine for background music at a store that I wouldn’t shop at

One hit wonder defined

Very unfamiliar with this Pink Floyd. Nothing exceptional about it.

Huh? Very unexceptuonal

I’ve never forgot my mom playing this album for her Vietnam war vet brother in the late 80s. He was appalled. Not as bad as I expected.

1.5

Liars! They lied about this being one of the top 1,000,001 albums ever.

Being honest, there’s some catchy shit here. It’s shit, most certainly but better than a 1

"My husband Gregory and I want what any couple wants: to retire to Stockholm and develop a currency for dogs and cats to use"

2.5

2.5 rounding up

I appreciate Blue as much as I can, but I just don’t get Joni

This sure ain’t the first couple Kanye albums

It’s like old school Amish ska

That was better than I expected - almost a 4

The last half of show fucks.

3.5

70s miles > 50s miles

Wtf

This one was always featured in the BMG catalog. 3.5

2.5 c’caine

2.5
