it reminds me of contemporary rnb, which is the genre that i hate the most in this world, with all those "baby"s and "oh yeah"s. i can fall asleep to this 2/5
"We piss all over the Beatles"-- Liam Gallagher, 2024 so after liverpool beat man city at the beginning of december, i began erasing the evidence of me being a beatles fan that i was in middle school and tried to focus on good old big O. but, i had to admit that any beatles album just brings me loads of good memories of me in that period of life. there's a snapshot of me when i decided to talk about them in the chinese class's pre-class sharing, and the teacher made all my classmates share a topic that we are interested in turn. (well, about the chinese class... i think that i should mention that i am east asian. I mentioned that in an earlier review, but now it's edited out.) i end up with a serious overtime, stretching the 5 minute sharing limit to a 8 minute piece about their whole history, from john and paul's meeting to the death of George. also, "Now and Then"wasn't released back then. and there i was, listening to "and i love her", sitting outside a shopping centre at 8 in the morning in England, summer 2023. another one is me watching many video of Paul's live concerts on the way to liverpool, all from the recent times, starting with either "can't buy me love" or that hell of a chord in "a hard day's night". those silly love songs are not the beatles' most musically complete works, but they're good soundtracks for a teen going through the ups and downs in her life. only half a year has passed since i finished middle school, and i miss those days. 3/5 for the music itself, but 4/5 for the memories it bring.
so keith -- my imaginary friend who's a big who fan-- decided to write this review for me after this imaginary struggle with him over who should write this: "OK! Now we're getting somewhere. I read the global reviews and hey, why are everybody complaining about the jingles? they ARE cliché, but that's what they are meant for! they are doing a parody of a radio station, and who doesn't know about the lengthy commercials and cheesy jingles happening in between songs during a radio broadcast? You really lack a sense of humor! It's a very good album, and it deserves some love, OK?" "But it amuses me when people, hating the jingles or not, praised "i can see for miles". It deserves it." Keith gives it a 5, and i give it a 4. on average, it's a rounded up 5. 5/5
reminds me of arctic monkeys. maybe alex and the dudes and them actually ARE in the same vain.
Although i somehow feel good whenever some band uses accordions in their works, Irish folk is not something that i like too much. It's too happy (?), and I like things a bit more moody. but i think it's actually ok, as "fairytales of new york" is still a standard for christmas.
it's (of course) not as good as "tommy" and "who's next", but since it is their debut, it's alright. even keith, my imaginary friend who's a big who fan, agreees about that.
so the first time that i ever hear something from this album is when a regional music award payed tribute to prince and all the artists that died in 2016 at the awarding ceremony in 2017, with my favourite artists covering "purple rain" and a bunch of songs, and the guitarist that i always admired soloed on the cover. the awesomeness of the cover makes me look foward to the album that may sounds more awesome. it did sounds awesome, but the first three tracks don't live up to my exception. they are just normal synth pop 4/5
extremely stereotypical zz top, just like what i imagined their song is like after hearing "sharp-dressed man" for the first time and only that song is good the others don't rock 2/5
Heard "Blonde" before. Frank Ocean is awesome on doing those emotional stuff, and that album is extremely beautiful. But channel orange is just ok, pretty normal, not as good as blonde. 3/5
hey kids, goth is fun. the album has this gloomy and cold aesthetic that i like, the driving rhythm slaps hard. 5/5
its okay worse than different class cuz heard it before and have used common people to meme about overly political correctness coruptting innocent LGBTQ+ people's lives anyway the title song slaps hard
conclution: edm is better the cover version of light my fire has only 1/100 awesomeness from the original the vocal is sloppy and jim morrison's original version is 100% better 2/5
the happiest radiohead album somehow heard jigsaw falling into places before 15 steps and bodysnacher is some other tracks good for me to dance to weird fishes makes me twirl around like a fish and has a tense ending there are beautiful moments like nude and depressing tracks like all i need and videotape they all goes extra hard for me 5/5
conclusion: techno the youtuber is better than normal techno somehow (i know his full account name is technoblade but it's just for a somehow weird comparison) the first ten minutes feels like 2 hours while the music beeps and boops and then it beeps and boops in a danceable way although danceable, the rest of the beeps and boops make 1 hour sounds like half a day 3.5/5
latin music never interests me 2/5
when i saw this album today during lunch break, i figured out that i'd like to get high during english language class while the teacher talks about "to kill a mockingbird" and the questions in class slowly drifts out of sight and becoming surreal. care of cell 44 has this classic 67' beatles feel, the guitars and pianos and harmonies, so penny lane. i like it, as i'm a ex-beatles fan. but some tracks are sloppy. 4/5
it's psychedelic, and also makes me wants to sleep more during self study class. it goes left and right around my head. all my determination to finish extra physics schoolwork died down. 2/5
Other reviews says it’s what a quality Phil Collins album might sound like. But a quality Phil Collins album is “in the air tonight” sorts of things repeating 12 times (just joking). This one is different every time. Genesis is a great band: but there’s no way of making fun of other members using other’s solo work to compare to thems. Peter and Phil are both great. 5/5
its noisy, but in the way that i like. the singer's voice reminds me of thom yorke's falsettos. but anyway, why is the first track named "Charlie Big Potato"? it's absurd. 4/5
a lot of attitude from the sharp guitar bass and drums but the tracks is just ok 2/5
Another motherf****ing irish folk album. And why there's a segment of "blackbird" with an improvised melody at the end of the song? As a ex-beatles fan, this really makes me confused. But the title track is great, and beautiful moments occasionally occur. 3/5
it reminds me of contemporary rnb, which is the genre that i hate the most in this world, with all those "baby"s and "oh yeah"s. i can fall asleep to this 2/5
ITS SUCH A BIBLICAL MOMENT WHEN I RATED MY PREVIOUS ALBUM AND SAW "DEFINITELY MAYBE" APPEAR ON THE TOP OF THE PAGE. cause i am a simple-minded 10th grader aka oasis stan. anyway, oasis is a great band. and i'm going to write my review in an extremely chaotic way similar to me writing essays in school. and as we all know, the band's soul is the Gallagher brothers, with elder brother Noel playing guitar and younger brother Liam singing. The guy lying on the ground in the album cover is Liam himself, the self-claimed "RNR STAR GODLIKE RASTA ICON LEGEND BIBLICAL OMNIPRESENT PROPHET SPIRITUAL MAJESTICAL CELESTIAL OPTIMYSTIC BUDDHIST JEDI APPROACHABLE ZEN LOVER HUMBLE 🐝" as written in his twitter bio. his twitter updates once a day, with him saying hello to fans, and then reacting to fan's comments and talking about football, like, after manchester city's loss to liverpool in the premier league last month, he said, in a love me, love my dog way, "we piss all over the beatles". and even before he penned the bio, he was everything mentioned in it. surely, a true rock star knows how to stir up controversies: he argued with Noel nearly every day after oasis broke up and before they reformed months ago, he was involved in many fights, took drugs, and did a lot of rock'n'roll-styled things. but the thing that stands out the most, along with his attitude, is his voice. that fucking sarcasm. that fucking emotion. that fucking "shiiiiiine" which was dragged along the music and became a meme. and it goes so well with the lyrics noel wrote, probably while he was getting high, like the pure nonsense in "Supersonic" and "Shakermaker". And apart from the nonsense, there's some pretty philosophical things in the album, such as the lyrics to "Live Forever". "Columbia" on the knebworth live album is messy and chaotic, while the studio version is bit lame with distortion incomparable to the live. "Bring It On Down" is a hidden gem. "Digsy's Dinner" makes me want to eat lasagne, while "rock'n'roll star" is a solid hit while also functioning as the opening song. it all proves that Noel is half a genius at music, although not as good as Dylan or Lennon. But he can only enter his complete form with Liam at his side, singing the songs he wrote. "Definitely Maybe" is definitely maybe one of the best debut albums of all time. also, i'm going to manchester this winter and buy the man city & noel collab kit and maybe get tickets of them versus chelsea (at home). perhaps the next album i'll rate is "parklife" cuz damon is chelsea fan. congrats me =) 5/5
wait... what? MORNING GLORY? TWO OASIS ALBUM IN A ROW? THAT'S SOME TRUE BIBLICAL MOMENT! but anyway, today is gonna be the day that i rate my second oasis album on the list. there's no need for me to say too much about this album. it's biblical. I love it so much that I even went to Berwick Street myself and took photos in the location of the album cover last year, when I was travelling in UK. maybe I'm going to do it again this winter. Liam's voice is at somehow a peak. "Hello" is a good opening. "Roll With It" is full of attitude. "Don't Look Back in Anger" remains classic. "Hey Now" is top nonsense. "Some Might Say" has a philosophical lyric. "Champagne Supernova" is epic. "She's Electric" probably stole from "While My Guitar Gently Weeps", but it's ok. "Cast No Shadow" is interesting storytelling. "Morning Glory" was featured at the beginning of "Acquiesce", which is my favourite Oasis track. so is there something missing out, apart from Bonehead's bank holiday? yeah. (took out guitar) (put capo on the second fret) Anyway... Here's Wonderwall. 5/5
FUCK POLITICS political songs are the worst and even more terrible when its political hip-hop i think some rap songs are good, but politics is something that I am never interested in the beat is ok 1/5
ok, i understand. this is good, this is a classic. but it's just too... "American". somehow it is R&B-ish and never-ending, like an orgasm that never came. 3/5
"Little Wing" is what you calls an eternal classic. a beautiful love song penned by the best guitarist in the whole rock history. the only problem of the song is it's too short. some of the songs are that boring type of blues rock, only become better because of jimi's guitar playing. but it randomly slaps hard. 3.5/5
more boring soul music. i dont want to listen to it anymore. although i listened to nick cave's new album "wild god" a lot these days... wait a minute, that is a gospel-ish album, not a soul like album. well. a solid 2 out of 5, but since the title track slaps, it was changed to a 3. (p.s. and for "wild god", i'll give it a 4.5 although its not on the list. because it's more optimistic than "ghosteen" or "skeleton tree", the former appearing in this list and i have already written its review, giving it a 5 and not want to listen to it again when the day comes, and the reason is its beautiful fragility. i just cried over this fucking album the first day that i listened to it.)
oh, dear old mark knopfler. some pretty damned "rockers" seems to run around popular band's fandoms (like coldplay) making chaos using "money for nothing" as a boring phrase to ridicule their commercialisation, but that's horrible and non-respectable. and its all because they are famous and rich, and those guys tries to prove that they have awesome music taste by rejecting popular and mainstream stuff. all a bunch of shit. also, the album sounds ok. "money for nothing" actually sounds good and has a awesome riff, but mark didnt write a clear melody line, making it bit boring. 3/5
wow this hits hard and catches my attention from the start 3.5/5
i hate country music from the start 2/5
uh-oh. the once lowest ranked album on this list. and it is free jazz. instead of listening to this, i'd rather give Einstürzende Neubauten or the birthday party a 4 or 5 than listen to this shit, because these two sounds pretty good, and i'm a nick cave simp right now as a result of watching too much peaky blinders. 1/5

(well, about the chinese class... i think that i should mention that i am east asian. I mentioned that in an earlier review, but now it's edited out.) i end up with a serious overtime, stretching the 5 minute sharing limit to a 8 minute piece about their whole history, from john and paul's meeting to the death of George. also, "Now and Then"wasn't released back then. and there i was, listening to "and i love her", sitting outside a shopping centre at 8 in the morning in England, summer 2023. another one is me watching many video of Paul's live concerts on the way to liverpool, all from the recent times, starting with either "can't buy me love" or that hell of a chord in "a hard day's night". those silly love songs are not the beatles' most musically complete works, but they're good soundtracks for a teen going through the ups and downs in her life. only half a year has passed since i finished middle school, and i miss those days. 3/5 for the music itself, but 4/5 for the memories it bring.
meteora is my life album from the second half of my 8th grade to now, because everything on it are somehow all self-doubt teen angst anthem. hybrid theory is similar. i like the whole album a fucking lot, especially "in the end", because it's just so suitable for high schoolers. sorry, boomers. i'd like to give it a 4 instead of a fucking 1. 4/5
damn, it's folk. and the first track is instrumental. maybe i'll give them a 1, because they are from birmingham, and my home team is playing against aston villa today but anyway a 2/5
i don't like rap but eminem is just pure awesome 3/5
no 2/5
song is proper 90s british rock but the melody is a bit weird purest teen energy at it's finest i like those stuff even when it's not made by oasis or blur or pop punk era green day 4/5
MERRY CHRISTMAS, everybody! Although Phil is a terrible man, i appreciate his effort on putting the wall of sound on christmas music, and makes it richer than before. It's better than other albums he produced, like "let it be" or "death of a lady's man", but less good than "imagine". actually, christmas music is as cheesy as ever. We should play non-christmas music on christmas, like the soundtrack of "love actually". 3/5
the kinks are all right 3/5
woo hoo 4/5
so when i thought about blues, the stuffs that automatically came to my brain is: "Yer Blues" by the beatles, a sort of parody on the genre. The Birthday Party, my new favourite band which, in theory, is a blues rock band that also does noise rock. and there are all the memes. And early rolling stones. and late rolling stones. and me playing "gimme shelter" over and over on spotify. and this album... it did makes me very blue. but i'm always blue, actually. it's... emotional. and it's good to go blue before a manchester city match. although they are playing against leicester city who is also blue, by the way. oops... i was thinking about some other things. 4/5
so keith -- my imaginary friend who's a big who fan-- decided to write this review for me after this imaginary struggle with him over who should write this: "OK! Now we're getting somewhere.

Keith gives it a 5, and i give it a 4. on average, it's a rounded up 5. 5/5
ok, Keith, here we go again. "It's funny, isn't it? Two peak who albums back-to-back. Heard that 'Tommy' is here too, but never mind about that. the thing about it, is, that it captures the Who's high energy live so fucking perfectly. I... I just can't say how much I admire this. That's the beauty of live albums, isn't it? with al those improvisations, solos and applauses, it makes you feels like that you are there, although you aren't there. OK, hipsters, motown lovers, and indie dogs who give this album something less than a 3, i understand your point. But I just simply wonders,“why don't you all f-f-f-fade away”, as I shall give this album, another five! (This time, me and Keith had an agreement on the rating.) 5/5
it's good in a nightclub when you can't feel the time passing, the flashing lights and effects make you have this instinct to dance, but listening to it at home is not the best choice 4/5
it's ok 3/5
2 minutes in and it already feels like forever some wanker even compares it with kid a but this shit really makes me suck a lemon 1/5
horrible american stuff 1/5
So It’s post punk. I’m pretty into post punk these days. It's tasty, but sometimes pretty repetitive. 4/5
this is my kink it makes me proud as an English citizen, and then the album ends and i remembered that I'm NOT BRITISH at all. i missed the days that I spend in the UK. 4/5
i still hates soul. no war, please. i'd rather give peace a chance. 3/5
it's just ok 2/5
people tends to hate on post punk, but why? idk. anyway, this is... ok. not so stereotypical post punk, but instead leaning a bit into new wave. not as influential as joy division, and not as weird as the birthday party. and who the fuck names their band "the The"? i thought that "the Band" is a terrible band name. 3/5
moody music for walking in the rain. although Portishead also has "head" in their name, they're not as good as Radiohead. 4/5
anything not pure rock that is released from the 60s (except for sinatra) automatically gets an 3 from me and soul is boring, so there's a penalty so it's a 2
