This sounds like they keep trying to write a theme song for a '90s sitcom but keep falling short.
Store brand Leonard Cohen
I HATE HATE HATED This album; I can't believe this made the list. There were no redeeming qualities to it.
This album is the most mid album I have gotten so far

Just forgettable. Also was surprised to learn they did NOT write the theme song for FRIENDS

You can smell the cocaine from this album just by listening to it

meh
It's an amazing album, but ngl, I listened to this a ton in my stoned and depressed college days, so it's bringing back many memories and feelings from that era that I would rather not explore.
starts out strong but get's boring by the end, despite being less than 30 min
Not his best album. I'm surprised it made this list, tbh.
This is probably my fourth or fifth favorite Radiohead album, and it's still a 5/5. Hell, I'd give it a 6/5 if I could. 1) Amnesiac 2) Kid A 3) In Rainbows 4) A Moon Shape Pool 5) OK computer 6) King of Limbs 7) Hail to the Thief 8) The Bends 9) Pablo Honey
These are the type of albums I love getting, a banger of an album from an artist I've never heard of in a genre I don't know much about.
How did this make the list? it sucked and is not innovative or influential.
This is my 8th favorite Radiohead album and it's still a 5/5
Best album so far
An absolute banger of an album
Turgid album
This sounds like an REM album if REM sucked
This is probably my favorite "new" and 2nd favorite album so far on this challenge. Kid A is still #1
This is going into the classic albums that lived up to the hype pile
It helps that I have a soft spot for the DC punk scene
I lost my v-card to this album, no way it wouldn’t get a 5/5
The worst album I have listened to on this list so far
I really don’t understand how people like this

Worst governor ever
Certified 1/5 album, complete and total ass with literally no redeeming qualities.
This album is also known as "Oh, that's where that song/riff is from."
Fuck Leonard Cohen
mid in album form
Who likes this trash? Every song tries so hard to be a ballad and they all fall flat.
a perfectly fine but forgettable album
Stevie Wonder is an artist that I can understand why he's so liked, see the brilliance of his music, but also realize it's just not my jam.
Store brand Leonard Cohen
Music genres I didn't think I would like but turns out I love them: Bossa Nova
Great album, already in my regular rotation

I checked to see how much longer I had on this album, and I was still on the first track

Goddamnit, I unfortunatly really liked this album
Classic artists that exceed the hype list: Queen, Prince, Johnny Cash
This will be the album I choose as my favorite when I complete this challenge. It's a perfect 10/10 album and then Do you Realize hits, and just goes off the fucking charts.
Van Morrison? More like Bland Morrison!
This album is the most mid album I have gotten so far
Illinois as an album A+, Illinois as a state: F-
this album kind of sucks
Jazz for drunk and stoned rednecks
I loved Pure Heroine but this album is a pretty major Sophomore slump
I just plain do not like Pearl Jam
I looked up the spot where the album cover was shot, and they have since planted trees, and the street looks great. It just goes to show you how much trees can improve a place. Plant more trees, y'all!
a double album that didn't need to be a double album
There are dozens of worthy albums, from Modest Mouse, Tool, Ween, Neutral Milk Hotel, Ryo Fukui, and more that didn't make this list, yet this one did?
This album actually aged really well.
A literal masterpiece in every sense of the word.
Ok damn, this did live up to the hype. Abbey Road is still better, though
Better than Rumors!
Both the music and the musician suck
This album did not deserve to be on the list
This sounds like they keep trying to write a theme song for a '90s sitcom but keep falling short.
I guess I'm a glam rock fan now, because this album slaps.
Honestly, a great album despite the person behind it.
Very forgettable album, I listened to it yesterday, and now can't really think of anything notable about it.
Love post punk, but DC punk > London Punk
In consideration for the best album on the list, joining Kid A, Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots, and Stankonia
Cool style, but the choice of songs to cover was weak.
Extremely not my shit
Debated giving this a 5, but a few songs feel short. Some of the best audio mixing I've ever heard on any record.
You had me at post-rock
You had me at post-rock
I hate this album so much that I will no longer use Christians Aguilera voice on Waze
Congrats on the Hat Trick, Prince!
Congrats on the Hat Trick, Prince!
Better than I expected, but still pretty meh
For a 39-minute album, it somehow still feels like a slog to get through.
It truly was a warm welcome to the Pleasuredome.
Ska should be banned
Ska should be banned
I liked the novel "On the Beach" better
This was one of my favorite albums as a kid. The hits still live up to my memories, but the rest of the album is pretty meh.
Such a forgettable album.
Fuck Morrissey, and fuck this list for putting him on here. One of the only artists I refuse to listen to since I find them so morally repugnant.
Just so long and so boring
There is no reason for this to be on the list except for the authors on bias
Starts out strong but peters off toward the end. Love that the opening track is a JG Ballard reference. Love that book
Ugggh, this album didn’t suck
poor mans steely dan
The Nickleback of the 70s
One of three candidates for the top album when I finish this challenge. The other two are Kid A and Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots
She can convey so much emotion with her voice; it's incredible.
My wife walked out to My Girls at our wedding. Top 5 album on this list for me, every note is perfect.
Very bland and forgettable album, no clue why it's on this list
Life is to short to listen to boring music
Top 10 album on this list!
The album name is the most interesting part of this album
Extremely not my shit
low energy boomer rock
If I could only remember any of the songs, very forgettable album
all of those "The [Word]" bands from the early 00's didn't really age well (except The Shins)
What the fuck am I missing with Leonard Cohen? I listened to I’m Your Man expecting to at least understand the appeal, and instead I got one of the most joyless, talentless, self-important piles of musical sludge I’ve ever heard. His “singing” sounds like a drunk funeral director mumbling into a broken answering machine, and the music underneath it is somehow even worse: cheap, limp, lifeless synth garbage that feels less like production and more like punishment. I can usually hear something in music I don’t personally like. I can respect the craft, the energy, the originality, the performance, something. But with Leonard Cohen, I hear absolutely nothing. No hooks, no beauty, no emotional power, no musical talent, no reason for this to exist except for people to pretend boredom is depth. The whole thing feels like bad poetry stapled to the most miserable karaoke backing tracks ever made. The fact that I’m Your Man ends up on “albums to hear before you die” lists is genuinely insulting. Before I die? I want the time I spent listening to this back. This album has all the charm of a wet ashtray, all the energy of a corpse in a suit, and all the musical value of someone whispering depressing pickup lines over a Casio demo track. I hated every second of it.
I love My Bloody Valentine, but I was surprised this album made the list. Loveless is obviously a classic, and this album isn't close to it.
Pretty forgettable album for the most part, tbh. I expected something better than this
best thing about this Liz Phair album is you can see her nipple on the cover
