All the jams. Lots of depth here.

Preferred the slower jams on this one (After Supper, Splanky) - had no idea this dude existed!

Yikes. I skipped almost every song on this album hoping that the next one would not suck, but was continually let down. There are so many albums that are probably not on this list that should be and this garbage made it?? Shame.

I didn’t find anything interesting about this. Was this the same song for 2 hours?

I don't think I've ever listened to this record straight through, so was excited for the opportunity. It did not disappoint (like the previous two records we had to slog through). Highlights: the mention of "compact disc" on track 1, Genocide - what an absolute banger. This is technically 4.5 stars because I really don't enjoy Dexter's voice but I appreciate how this record made music like this more accessible to the general public.

The first track on this album is a 5 (I Wanna Destroy You). I do think this band was probably the first of its kind to inspire music like Nada Surf / any kind of college indie - was a cool listen as I didn’t know these guys existed.

Once again had no idea this dude existed - good listen. The flow is a little slow / basic for me, but I get what this has probably done for the future of rap and it's a nice album to chill to in the morning. Highlights include: "Da Bichez" and the chill overall vibe (Yo! MTV Raps, anyone?)

His voice - how??? So many jams on this. Heck yeah.

Really not into the Pet Shop Boys [woof]. This one was tough to get through - I honestly do not know how music like this is still a thing. Help. I kind of want to go back and give Rufus more stars after having to deal with this lollll.

Boring. Sounds like it should have been a thing way before 2008.

1st song is epic - so much to unpack. This really is a quintessential metal album: musically, it's all there - fast stuff, breakdowns, insane guitar work, legit (but maybe not great) vocals, group yells.

aka baby makin’ music. Good listen!

Respect Iron Maiden but this album as a whole is pretty meh.

I really liked this. I think you definitely need to be in a certain vibe to listen to it though.

No notes.

Everyone knows that AC/DC only has one song and they just change the lyrics to make an album, right? There’s so much more potential here but they came up short on this one.

There was a reason I never got into Belle & Sebastian - this album is pretty meh and kind of boring.

Not terrible, no real stand-outs on this one, though. Very glad I now know Dusty is not a boy..

A live album?? Ugh. I really hope there’s another Johnny Cash album that I can award more stars to ‘cause I don’t have the patience to deal with a live albums…

Solid. Was waiting for this one!

A fun listen. I dub thee ‘Happier Morrissey’.

This David Bowie album just wasn’t for me.

Joni Mitchell is not for me. (This seems to be a theme haha)

I had never listened to this album in its entirety, so this was fun (and good).

There is nothing wrong with the Beach Boys.

Solid!

Brian Eno is a legend. This album does not disappoint.

This album was not what I expected at all, having never listened to a whole Talking Heads album at once, but this thing is a real banger.

All the jams. While I fully understood that Freebird is an epic song, listening to it in this context really solidified that.

I was really hoping a Joy Division album would make it on here. This band really paved the way for a lot of bands and basically the whole post-punk/post-hardcore movement in the '80s. Very good album.

I don't think I'm on enough drugs to enjoy this in its full capacity... Lyrics from 'A Very Cellular Song' (which is THIRTEEN MINUTES LONG, by the way): "Nebulous nearnesses cry to me at this timeless moment someone dear to me | Wants me near, makes me high, I can hear vibrations fly | through mangoes, pomegranates, and planes all the same | When it reaches me and teaches me to sigh" ............ wtf?? Is that a harpsichord??? A kazoo?? A recorder?? it does seem like everyone on the cover of this album is participating in the music here.

Meh

Yesss. Love this band.

The beginning of this album is very good; but, the 2nd half of this album is basically flawless.

Solid.

This was....fine.

okay now that I've been transported back to high school soccer bus rides to away games, there are some real bangers on this album but also some really slow/weird jams.

Knowing nothing about this artist, I assumed this was a reggae album and boy was I unpleasantly surprised when whatever the heck this is started blaring out of my office speaker. Oof. Sorry Jah Wobble, but you can't call yourself that and produce this trash.

Musically, this was solid...just not my thing.

Influential. Beautiful. No notes.

Solid!

Okay the thumbnail of this album here and on the Apple Music site are different.... but similarly .... interesting. Kicking it off with "THE WORLD IS MY OYSTER" is a fun move, but like....what on Earth is this? ....shooting stars never stop, even when they reach the top, y'all. WOAH - you have to listen to 13+ min of "welcome to the pleasuredome" before you get to have the realization that this is the RELAX...DON'T DO IT... band. hahaha. turning it around.

Well this started off especially strong, but became increasingly difficult to get through after the first jam.
