At Newport 1960
Muddy WatersNot overly shit. Just boring. Like half the albums I've had on this list already.
Not overly shit. Just boring. Like half the albums I've had on this list already.
I found this quite an interesting album. Very groovy, very different - especially to what I usually listen to. I probably wouldn't complain if someone put this on, but if I ever wanted to listen to this again I'd have to be in a specific mood. I can't just play this whenever, it'd get annoying. Also I can get too much of this. It gets annoying, especially how similar the tracks are. Not to say it's bad, however, because I still enjoyed it somewhat. It can just get too overstimulating
Really fun album, blends many genres together. Especially love the jazzy parts in particular. Guitar solos are cool and the riffs are good but get repetitive sometimes. Bass is quite prevalent which I always like in music too The opening track, Funny Vibe and Which Way To America are standouts Defo gonna be listening to this again
It's so bad I actually really enjoy it These guys shitposted before shitposting was a thing. Truly revolutionary.
It's unlikely I'm gonna rate these sort of albums any higher than a 3. They're cool, they're calming, she's got a great voice, just not my style. Gets a bit boring after a few
Very groovy, much like. Very different to usual taste, but it's the GOAT what's not to like. Vocals very nice Starts off meh with Up From The Skies but gets much better after Album cover is a bit odd
Title track fucking rocks. Holiday/Boulevard Of Broken Dreams is imo their best song in their entire discography, let alone on this album Starts off really good but after Extraordinary Girl/Letterbomb it tails off a bit WMUWSE is a bit overrated - it's good but not that good
First album I don't recognise Admittedly, when I saw it was an 18 song album I was skeptical since I assumed it'd be too bloated, but the first few songs have been really enjoyable. The opening track, Howlin' For You and The Only One are amazing tracks Fuck me Ten Cent Pistol is good My initial fears of it being bloated were partly true, although most tracks deserve to be on the album. I probably wouldn't miss The Go Getter or Unknown Brother. Definitely one to revisit every now and again
Seven Nation Army obviously fucking slaps, followed up nicely with Black Math Love Meg's vocals on Cold, Cold Night These slower songs just don't really cut it. Seven Nation Army sets such a high standard that most of the songs can't live up to, especially the slower ones. I don't think his voice is suited to them. Simplicity=good, sometimes. I think this one is too simple too often. Little Acorns and Hypnotize are quite good. It's just, meh. I can listen through it fine enough I'm just rather bored doing it. Except that last song. What the fuck was that.
Absolutely beautiful voice she has got. She gives me cozy café vibes Caught myself dancing to The Click Song once or twice. Where Does It Lead is a beautiful song too. It's not something I'll likely listen to again in the near future but I can see why so many hold this album in such high regard. It'd be hugely disrespectful to rate this any lower than a 3.
I've never understood the hype The Beatles get and this record proves it. It's too bland and I find the vocals annoying. Love You To and Yellow Submarine are some bright spots in the album, but it's far from enough to make this worthy of a decent rating. I like the ideas of the different instruments they used compared to their other albums, but I don't think they executed it as well as they could, or should, have.
Country music is either really shit, like on the pop sides of it, or really good like Bluegrass and Outlaw Country. First song is absolute garbage but Cowboy Movie is better but it drags on too long. Laughing is a great song but again I think it'd benefit from being about a minute shorter. I like Traction in the Rain too. It's a nice, calm, solid album. Not bad, not amazing either.
I knew how good Kanye is but I've never listen to a full album until now and I've realised how much I've been missing out. Super fun listen, maybe slightly too long but it keeps a high standard throughout. Not even his best stuff either. We Don't Care, Through The Wire and All Falls Down are proper bangers.
It's actually better than other Beatles records I've heard. Still not great. But better. Ish. The opening track and Roll Over Beethoven are pretty cool. Slightly generous 3. Probably a 2.75
These vocals ruin it. When Rod shuts up I enjoy it more, like Greensleeves. Whilst it's definitely not the worst thing I've ever listened to, it's boring, not really any stand out tracks. The riffs are decent and the drums are good, but it evokes nothing in me. Combined with the god awful singing makes this a long one to listen to.
I quite like this rambling style of singing she's got going on. It helps with the storytelling and really captures the "roadtrip" vibe. It's a nice, calming album but too samey and gets boring after the first couple of songs. Probably one to listen to a couple tracks from every now and again rather than playing the full album. A generous 3 me thinks
When I started this project, I vowed to myself that I'd listen to every single album all the way through, not matter who it was by or how much I hated it. That was before I saw this one was over 3 hours long. Yeah fuck that. If it's any good I'll listen to the majority of it, unlikely it'd be good enough to reach the 2 hour mark. She's got a great voice but it's the same as most other jazz records from that time. I can listen to a few tracks before I get incredibly bored. Definitely not sitting here for an hour, let alone three.
The first couple of tracks were just boring, but not terrible. I thought the album would be one of those boring-but-not-overly-shit albums I've had every now again. I was very wrong. The vocals make me want to crawl out of my skin. It's the epitome of the shit music that's being released recently. It doesn't have it's intended calming effect due to how bad it is Standout shit tracks: • A Violent Noise • Performance • On Hold
It's just fucking shit. Breaking Up Slowly was ok and Dance Till We Die put some much needed energy into this album but it's far from enough.
This sort of Beatles-esque psych rock just does nothing for me. It needs something else to add energy into it It's not terrible but it's all just a drag to get through. Butcher's Tale isn't too bad to be fairs
I'm not usually a massive fan of this sort of music but this was a fun listen Animal Farm and Village Green are standout tracks.
Decent rock album, don't love it, don't hate it. Probably on the higher side of 3 I Love You gives off creepy uncle vibes Good Morning is a great track. Liked the opening few too and Cool As Kim Deal
Some tracks are pretty good, like Lost Ones and Every Ghetto, Every City. Not sure it warrants being an hour and 15 minutes long. It gets boring about halfway in. At least it's something different on this list
I'm not even a month in and this is my third Beatles album what the shitting hell is this about About as shit as it gets for the Beatles. Too boring, too samey, vocals hurt my ears. There's still so many Beatles albums to get through too fuck sake. I've gone through 3/7 I don't want to see another one for at least a year
I'd fallen out of love with these guys but after listening to this album I've gone back to loving them again. The Power of Equality starts it off extremely well, and the one-two combo of the title track and Under the Bridge is absolutely sublime Anthony's vocals are amazing, bass is super punchy, catchy riffs. Best album I've had so far Sidenote: This is my 20th album and my first 5 star worthy album - that does not bode well. I'm either really unlucky, or I'm in for a long three years
I'm not sure I'm a massive fan of the enhanced Bluesy elements of this album. It's weird, I feel like I should enjoy this album more than I do and I've tried very hard to do just that but it's not clicking. Like most albums I've had on this list, it's just meh. Nothing really stands out at me - Immigrant Song was good when I first listened to it a few years ago but the more I listen to it the more tedious it gets. I'll always respect Led Zeppelin for the inspiration they've given for so many great bands. I'm sure there'll be an album or two of theirs I'll like more.
Pretty fun album and it's not too long so I don't get bored of it. Some lovely harmonies in there Title track and Love Is A Hurtin' Thing are standouts As with most albums in this genre I'm not likely to give this a listen any time soon but it was enjoyable nonetheless
Señorita was actually kind of a bop in all fairness I mean the rest of it was one hour of pure cock and ball torture but that first song was alright at least
Middest of the mid 40,000 headman and Cryin' To Be Heard are good tracks. Rest is just bog standard
Sometimes I find the vocals alright but others I can't stand, like I'm Your Man - "I'd howl at your beauty like a dog in the heat". Ew. The synth is fine but gets tedious fast. After that it just sounds like an old man doing karaoke 15 pints in Saying that Jazz Police I enjoyed, not sure it warrants a higher rating because of this however Maybe a harsh 2 but compared to what I've already rated in 3 I think a 2 is justified
Fun album, better than the one of theirs I've rated previously It's a harsh 3 I enjoyed this one but not on the same level as the 4s
Love some old school hard rock every now and again but it can get too samey after a while The lyrics and vocals are quite cringe but that's common with all glam rock. The riffs and the bass make up for it If I wanted to listen to some glam rock/metal I probably wouldn't choose these over the likes of KISS or Skid Row
It's so bad I actually really enjoy it These guys shitposted before shitposting was a thing. Truly revolutionary.
I'm quite surprised I enjoy this one. Most of the time with these calmer albums I find they need something a little bit more to add to them to make them more enjoyable, but this one was different. Whether it was his voice or the mood I was in I'm not sure, but this is one I will definitely be revisiting.
Really fun album, blends many genres together. Especially love the jazzy parts in particular. Guitar solos are cool and the riffs are good but get repetitive sometimes. Bass is quite prevalent which I always like in music too The opening track, Funny Vibe and Which Way To America are standouts Defo gonna be listening to this again
Jazz is such a drag to get through. It's not terrible by any means, it's just incredibly boring Give me jazz-influenced genres any day of the week and I'll eat that shit up, but jazz by itself it too tedious. It's needs something else alongside it
This album has potential somewhere yet it didn't reach it. I enjoyed the opening song but after that it dropped off a bit. It just needed something else but I'm not sure what I'll probably check out their other albums this one was interesting
First two tracks are absolute bangers, drops off a bit after that I think I prefer the harder tracks in this compared to the slower, softer ones Brian's guitar work is insanely good and the vocals are legendary - shocker, I know. They've definitely got better stuff but this is still a great album
You would have thought that a double album being 82 minutes long would get old but surprisingly it didn't It wasn't anything special but the varied songs kept me somewhat engaged Solid throughout, higher side of 3
Whoever told him that he could sing deserves to be shot Other than that it's pretty sub-par indie rock
I should really like Led Zeppelin and I really want to but their music just does nothing for me. Technically it's really good but I just find it boring. No song really jumps out at me, there were the occasional bits, sure, but not enough to keep me interested.
I'm not sure what to rate this one. My main genre is metal. I've grown into focusing less on the lyrics and vocals and more on the riffs, guitar tone, drumming, etc. From this standpoint it's a 5 star album. When I focus on the lyrics it makes me feel ill. I did not sign up to listen to Axl Rose's sexual fantasies. Evens out to a 4 I'd say
It's unlikely I'm gonna rate these sort of albums any higher than a 3. They're cool, they're calming, she's got a great voice, just not my style. Gets a bit boring after a few
Shite all round
No more Beatles I beg
These type of albums I don't hate just find boring so I'll usually rate them a 3 but I don't like her voice that much so it goes down to a 2.
Folk can be a boring genre of music and this album is a prime example of just that. It all sounds the same because of his voice that doesn't vary in pitch and the only instrument used being an acoustic guitar. Like others, it's not awful, I guess. Just reeeeeaaaaaaalllllllyyyyyy long to get through despite being less than half an hour long
This is an album to listen to in the evening or night, not at 4:30 pm like I have been I like the synth and the overall atmosphere of the album Nothing too special, and I'm pretty sure he has better stuff, but decent nonetheless. Ooo that random bit of sax in the middle of the last song was good
Not overly shit. Just boring. Like half the albums I've had on this list already.
Bruv I did not need 20 minutes of factory funny moments followed by coked up cavemen Parts of this I really enjoyed, like Paperhouse and Halleluhwah were great, and if they hadn't decided to lose their brain cells halfway through this would have been a great album
Pretty fun, perky album. Gets tedious fairly fast but still a decent one
Cool album but not really my preferred genre of music I likes the more energetic songs than the softer ones. If they had more of that I'd rate it higher Heads Will Roll is obviously a banger, and I liked Dull Life too
It grew on me this one. I was thinking it might have needed something a bit more but as the album went on I started to enjoy it more. La Grange and Beer Drinkers & Hell Raisers are standouts Cool album
It was ok I suppose, I didn't hate it. I like the bit of variety this gives compared to the rest of the albums on this list It's very samey, which is bad for an hour long album as it just gets tedious to listen to fast Didn't really invoke anything in me but I can see why people would enjoy this
Decent chill album. Don't hate reggae, don't love it either
I found this quite an interesting album. Very groovy, very different - especially to what I usually listen to. I probably wouldn't complain if someone put this on, but if I ever wanted to listen to this again I'd have to be in a specific mood. I can't just play this whenever, it'd get annoying. Also I can get too much of this. It gets annoying, especially how similar the tracks are. Not to say it's bad, however, because I still enjoyed it somewhat. It can just get too overstimulating
This album could have been 1000x better than it actually is. It's got some aspects for it, like the vocals, guitar tone, and the energy but it's just ruined by the drumming and awful songwriting. I didn't like the calmer songs on the other album of theirs I rated "It's Blitz!" and it's the same for these ones. I'd argue they're actually worse It had the potential to be a 4/5 star album, it just got nowhere near that
She looks as good on this album cover as the songs on the album - absolutely stunning I love me some saxophone. Adds to the overall atmosphere of the album I thought the absolute banger of Smooth Operator would set too high of a standard for the rest of the songs to hit and the first couple of songs after that made my fears come true. It got to Frankie's First Affair and it came back to the highs of Smooth Operator and didn't come down again after that
The vocals on this were decent, but I was more focused on how insanely good the bass and guitar work were. Some disco type music can be repetitive, soulless and over-produced but this had me hooked. I would be dancing to this after a few on a Friday night Title track was by far the best song on the album. Went slightly downhill after that but still a great album
First track actually goes hard Followed by the fucking monstrosity that is Cowboy. Why dude Bro someone get their two year old away from this man why is a child rapping on here Labelling this as metal is a disgrace to the genre, it's more butt rock Only God Knows Why must be the literal worst song I have ever listened to. Not an exaggeration. I really, really tried to like this because I thought it would be funny to piss everyone off by playing it infront of them but fuck me, that was BAD. Easily the worst album I've had so far. I'd rather rip my toenails out with my bare hands than listen to this shite again Oh and just when you think the torture was almost over, and you thought it couldn't possibly get any worse, he drops the n word. Fucking hell lmfao
I wish I enjoyed this album more than I did. It's varied with sprinklings of different genres in there. Just something didn't click for me and I'm not sure what, maybe the production, maybe the vocals? I'm not sure I understand why people like this one, it gets a high 3 from me
For me, synth pop as a whole gets annoying after a while and this wasn't really different. I don't think this was bad by any means, just forgettable. I didn't like the vocals either. It had some cool parts, like Elegia. Not likely to revisit this however
I don't think it's terrible but it's too repetitive and too samey. I've heard worse but I'm never gonna listen to it again
Do we really need the entire Beatles discography in this list? I get having 2-3 because it's the Beatles and whatever, but surely the point of this list would be to showcase different albums from different bands in the more obscure genres, I think those are the albums you should listen to before you die. The album albeit wasn't terrible I think it's one of their better ones, but their still one of the most overrated bands in history.
Not a fan. It's very repetitive and there's not much variation in the songs. I don't like her vocals and the lyrics weird me out in some songs It's gets a 2 for its creativity and uniqueness. Plus she's willing to experiment which is always nice to see in music. I've heard worse on this list and I think it's unfair to group it with the albums I've given 1/5
There wasn't really any aspect of this album that I liked. The vocals absolutely sucked it was hard see past them. I eventually did, and I thought both the acoustic and electric guitarwork was below average. There were no real changes of pace in the songs and it all became a drag. The harmonica solos sucked too. Usually I love these random instruments in songs but it was just blasted as loud as possible down the mic. It was a tough one to get through
It's an easy listen, it's nothing too complicated, quite catchy. A nice listen Not sure the album is good enough for it to be 54 minutes long as i was a bit sick of it by Foot Of The Mountain. I liked the opening tracks though and Moon On Your Pyjamas
From what I've gathered, this album isn't one of his favourites amongst fans. I find this album to be very underrated in that case because I really enjoyed this one. It's warm and upbeat and his voice is unsurprisingly amazing. I was deadset on giving this a four and I was trying to think of reasons to mark it down but none really came. Too samey? But I didn't get bored of it. Cheesy lyrics? Probably 80% of music has dumb lyrics. It's just a really solid, easy-listening album and it will most likely become a comfort album of mine They Won't Go When I Go is my favourite track
A pretty decent modern pop album me thinks. Nothing really bad about it
The music itself gets a 3/4, but the concept of performing a concert in a prison is fucking awesome. The whole idea of it and the interactions Cash had with the crowd add to the album. Absolute fucking comedy when they started cheering when he sand about shooting a women
I've heard enough Christmas songs over the past month Pissing me off Merry Christmas fuckers
It's certainly one of the albums of all time Ah fuck it it's a fun one
The concept itself of the album was interesting but I'm not sure the music did it justice. The music was decent but nothing really hooked me in Pinball Wizard is a banger tho
Their more energetic songs, like Lion Thief and Easy, were miles better than the softer ones. Not to say they were terrible, but pretty generic and forgetful. Not sure the mixing of the album helped them necessarily Still a decent one nonetheless Sick ass cover too
The faster paced songs like the opening track were great The rest of the songs dropped off, becoming the sort of café shop background music a lot of jazz and swing is
I love the melancholic atmosphere he created, really boosted by his vocals, which are definitely the best part of the album Some tracks are really good such as Speed Trials, Alameda and Angeles, but the bad songs are quite the drop off compared to the rest. Albeit there aren't many, they drag the rating from a possible 5 to a mid 4 Still a great listen, definitely deserves a revisit
Found her voice annoying on some songs, but I liked We Do What All We Can and All I Wanna Do as my standout tracks Music behind the vocals was pretty generic and meh
I've always meant to listen to this album at some point. This project gave me the kick up the arse I needed to finally get round to this, and holy shit I've been missing out. Easily one of the best prog rock albums ever. I would give it a 5 immediately for Epitaph and 21st Century Schizoid Man alone. Ends on the title(ish) track sublimely making this the best album I've had in my (just over) 2 months of generating albums Only downside to this is the 8 minutes or so of whatever-the-fuck at the end of Moonchild. Why they decided to add in random noises beats me tbh
I disagree with those saying that it's just another shitty Britpop album and whilst I'd be inclined to agree with them, as I hate Britpop as a genre and through browsing the list of albums it seems that the afore mentioned tend to make up a fair portion of the albums, I think lumping this with the others doesn't do it justice. It clearly has the Oasis-fueled Britpop elements that I've heavily grown to hate living in a town just outside Manchester, but it also holds some pretty cool prog and psychedelic rock inspirations that I think elevates this album a fair bit. Plus I like the vocals on most of the tracks I was pretty far from enjoying everything on this one, but some tracks I'll definitely be coming back to, like Pull Together and Daniella. A high 3.
The beats and production of the album are great and the other rappers provide some nice variety and adds to the flow of the album. Snoop's rapping of this album is decent, but he's done better since this came out. I'd look to his other albums if I wanted to listen to him
What in the Skyrim
It's quite a variety of different genres which I quite liked which kept things nice and varied, like the piano in Canary. I didn't like the folk and pop rock aspects of it Her voice was ok in some songs, but worse in others. She sometimes reminded me of that hippie chick that sings in the TV show Friends
Down To The Waterline and Sultans Of Swing are absolutely fantastic tracks. Unfortunately the rest of the album doesn't live up to the same heights as those two. It drags on a bit. There were the occasional cool parts like the ending of In The Gallery but not enough imo Slightly high 3 because I definitely wouldn't complain if this was put on
It's a pretty decent alt rock/grunge album. Some of the riffs were nice and catchy and I loved the guitar tone. On the other hand, I really didn't like the vocals. I tried hard to get into them but even after a couple of relistens I just can't get past them. I'm not a fan of the acoustic guitar bits and their slower stuff in this isn't as good as the rest of the songs Overall it's solid, but I wouldn't choose these guys over the likes of Alice In Chains, for example Quiet and Soma are my standouts
The bass and the guitar work were really, really nice and groovy The songs were too stretched out. 9/10 I'm all for longer and fewer songs in an album but I don't think the music was suited to that. Each song would have benefitted from being 2-3 minutes shorter in length, because after that it got repetitive and tedious. It's a shame really, it could have been a great album
Classic hard rock album that you can't really go wrong with. Only thing stopping me from giving it a 5 is a few of the songs towards the back end that I didn't enjoy for whatever reason. Maybe they just weren't as good, or I began to get tired of the album A high 4
I've never given a Smiths album a listen until now so I'm not sure if they have any better stuff It's very typical of the 80s British indie rock that was being put out at the time, and I think this album does it ok but pretty standard Marr is getting the praise for his guitar work but I think the true hero of this album is Andy Rourke's bass, especially on Barbarism Begins at Home. I can't make my mind up on the vocals. They suck sometimes, but others I think they suit the music well
