The tracks are indistinguishable from one another. It is impossible to tell when a song ends and the next one starts. It is just bland and Chris Martin's howling on top.
If I were a middle-aged man with long hair blasting this album in my convertible on a highway as the wind licks my receding hairline, I would love it. But I am me and this is not for me. Turns out the only tracks I liked are the ones written by Neil Young. I think they really stand out.
Felt the rhythm in my bones
This is what I imagine retired Disney princesses listen to.
I need a break from folk music
Either teenage angst has completely left my body or it is not easy to listen to this album uninterrupted. I might need to sniff some glue and give it another go.
Music for pretentious assholes.
Pretty average and very American.
Music to line dance with alligators.
Boring and repetitive. An extra star because it was short.
I was looking forward to listen to this and to catch a well-deserved break from folk music but I was disappointed. I hated all the skits and the talking. Felt like I was listening to a podcast recorded by men at times.
I accept Cohen as my Lord and Savior.
I'm bored out of my mind.
Master of Puppets (the song) is an absolute masterpiece. There are also couple of bangers. But as a album it's kinda boring.
What makes this album an album that I need to listen to before I die is beyond me. It is neither good nor bad. It was just popular at its time I guess.
Radiohead helps me romanticize dissociation 🩷
Already had 3 songs from this album in a playlist with The Velvet Underground and Talking Heads. Pretty good recipe.
This is a controversial rating but I actually had a good time listening to this album so here we go.
Wow I hate this. Feels like getting hit on by an ugly guy at the bar.
I'm bored out of my mind.
I'm so sick of folk music at this point.
I started listening to this on my morning commute on a Monday and felt like I was filled with enough energy for the whole week. But when I came back to it in the evening I honestly just couldn't listen to it.
This is not good or bad. It is simply mediocre and I am growing tired of this kind of music and the idea that I should listen to this before I die. Why should I? What I would be missing if I didn't?
I hate it. I hate him. I sometimes also hate this list.
The reason I have started this challenge was to find new music. Well I'm happy I have found Neu! because I was really looking forward to hearing something new.
Some of the albums on this list are just so boring I am actually fascinated. This is one of them.
I haven't listened this album before this challenge but I knew most of the songs. I guess that's normal when listening to one of the best bands in the world. I'm not a Beatles fan but I can definitely understand the hype.
Nothing against a-ha but this was boring. I'm fine by blasting "Take on Me" occasionally and never hearing anything from this album again.
Bored out of my mind. Well not really. Just didn't want to miss the pun opportunity. Bob Dylan is iconic as always. I don't listen to Bob Dylan really. Maybe I should. But I don't think I would go for this album. Quite moody and dark than his usual.
I would be just fine without listening to this album before I die.
Made my morning commute more energetic.
Tracy Chapman without class consciousness.
I have decided to give in to melancholy and become a Nick Drake stan.
I would definitely rock my side swept bangs to some of the tunes on this album in 2000s. But it gets kind of repetitive. Also, I found the acoustic versions simply unbearable.
This could be easily a 4 but Michael Stipe's vocals have always made it difficult for me to truly enjoy R.E.M.
I like grunge. I liked this.
Boring and unoriginal. I guess you really need hard drugs to rock and roll.
Maybe not their best but it will be always special for me. Nevertheless it is a pretty good album.
Nope. No trash for me thanks.
As i was listening this album I thought if asked to generate a 60s psychedelic rock album the AI would come up something like that. It is fine but also quite generic. I enjoyed it though.
I actually listened to this a few times because I can't decide on it. I enjoyed it but nothing really stands out. It is a hesitant 4/5.
I'm incredibly moody today and couldn't think of a better background music.
I like Led Zeppelin but I must admit it is difficult to listened to Robert Plant's high-pitched scream for half an hour.
I never cared for Christina Aguilera's R&B stuff really and cringed at some of the tracks on this album. However, "Can't hold us down" is a feminist anthem. "Fighter" and "Dirrty" are absolute bangers.
I appreciate the cultural significance of Tracy Chapman but do I enjoy her music? Not really.
I suspect corruption and bribery in making of this list.
Ooof. The misogyny combined record scratching in this album probably prevented me from truly enjoy it but I didn't find it exceptional in any sense. Nevertheless, it is also this album that gave us "Fuck tha Police", a (sadly) timeless anthem coming straight from the underground.
Quirky and upbeat. Just the way I like my Bowie.
I hated this and couldn't be bothered to find out why.
I tried so hard to like this album but I failed. I love the title track though.
It sounds generic and outdated to me.
I have a massive crush on Damon Albarn. However, it doesn't prevent me from admitting that this album has no place on this list.
I found this quite boring actually. Sounds generic.
Señorita, Like I love you, Cry me a river and Rock your body are great songs. Rest of the album is bland. Except for the second track. That one is so bad it made me cringe. I would easily give this a 4 but I can't forgive him for what he did to Britney.
Starts off strong with Enter Sandman and from there it is a downward hill. I fucking love that song though. I remember liking the Nothing else matters as a moody kid a lot too. I guess I'm healed.
