"God only knows what I'd be without you," RIP Brian Wilson man This album is fucking amazing front-to-back. I don't think anything I can possibly say here has been said for the first time. Wouldn't It Be Nice and Here Today are the two best tracks and are also the too most relatable. Sloop John B has one of the catchiest melodies of all time. You Still Believe In Me makes me want to sit by a fire in my PJs and take three minutes to open a box with two pairs of used socks in it. This thing is just absolute perfection from track 1 to track 13. I love it I love it I love it.

TOO LONG.

The entire time I was waiting for the intro to end. It's not bad though, I feel like I'm in a movie soundtrack. Funny enough, I prefer the parts without electronica instruments in this album.

Well, fuck me

I don't really listen to hip-hop but my expectations on this were still pretty high. Then the album was a flop, which lowered my expectations, which made me realize this album was actually pretty good.

Holy fuck I forgot how good this album was. I can't lie, when I clicked play on this thing, I expected to write a review out of it and then was completely entranced by the sheer enjoyment I had with it. Everytime I turn this on, I have an absolute... heh, blast. Burnout is the perfect introduction to everything, immediately saying "I declare I don't care no more." It's so fucking pissed off for a random reason. I'm tired, so now I hate everything. I love that about Green Day. The government sucks and I hate everything. My home city sucks and I hate everything. My mom's new boyfriend sucks and I hate everything. God sucks and I hate everything. It's very immature, which works. There is a motive for this next song, though, Having a Blast. This song tells the story of a suicide bomber and while I DON'T CONDONE DOING THAT, this song perfectly encapsulates what I imagine would be going through a suicide bombers brain. The lyricism in the chorus is so blunt and straightforward, I'm not digging up the hidden metaphor, the suicide bomber is telling me to my face "I hate everything and I'm gonna kill you and me." It's not the most thoughtful thing ever written by man, and that's the point. The bridge on this song feels strangely personal. He starts asking possibly the listener(?) questions, questions like if he's the only one who feels this way. "Do you ever want to lead a long trail of destruction...Do you ever build up all the small things in your head to make one problem that adds up to nothing?" While I'm having a, uh... having a blast while listening to this, the things I'm rocking out to feel strangely dark. Sad. It's sad :( When I Come Around has never been one of my favorites. While it has grown on me, I still think it's the second weakest song on the album, behind Pulling Teeth. The effect on the vocals sounds out of place, I can't tell if it's a chorus effect or something? By that, I mean it's probably a chorus effect but I don't want to be made fun of if I'm wrong. The tone on the guitar during the solo also feels a little strange and out of place. Is it a bad song? No, I like it, but it's nowhere near the standout people say it is, at least for me. Basket Case is the best pop-punk song of all time and I don't think anything can beat it. Just the guitar and vocals with this fucking earworm melody. And then immediately, it just crashes into this explosive, incredible pop-punk masterpiece. The drums are going everywhere, like BJA is slipping in a puddle of his anxiety. Then everything calms again, but the guitar riff is going quicker. Then a sexy bass flair, and the drums do the rest. It's like the song is easing you into this building, then when you're close to the door, it grabs you from the waist, chucks you into the building and slams and locks the door, everything from the ceiling falling to the floor from the impact of the door. It's fucking amazing. Is this album one of the most thoughtful and well-constructed albums of all time? No. Does that mean it can't be one of the best albums ever made? Absolutely not. And that's it. Dookie. Shit. Crap, caca, poop, shit, dookie. I'm gonna go bite my lip and close my eyes now. Favs: Basket Case, She, Having a Blast Least fav: Pulling Teeth

It’s great but there are SOME songs I think are kind of mediocre.

What do you have to criticize about this? That the singer isn't exactly on key or something? It's a live performance, moron. Favs: 25 Minutes to Go, Jackson, Greystone Chapel Least Favs: N/A

Michael Jackson is probably one of the best male vocalists of all time, and even before I changed this from a 3 to a 4, I could admit that. I think I factored in how overrated the album was into my rating prior, or maybe I just was not open enough. Either way, I get the appeal, not the 2nd best album of all time(, Apple Music).

Alright background music I guess.

I enjoyed it, but the fact that it was just 5 minute long instrumentals made it feel like a chore.

I’ve also listened to this album before! One of four albums (at least now) I’d give a 10/10.

3.5 to be exact. Definitely a fantastic album with a fantastic voice, but I can tell it's not for me and that's perfectly okay. Every track here is good enough to be in my personal playlist, but not a zero skips album, if that makes sense? I'll throw on something on here every now and again but would never give it a full listen again.

Literally sounds like if someone took a group of middle school band kids and made them play Sing, Sing, Sing (Benny's Goodman version, the best version). Not mad at it being on the list, but I don't like it...like at all, besides some swing moments.

The best song on here is 3 stars.

I was in awe from the third track and the last track was pretty good but this is NOT an essential in any way. Very tedious to get through all the BandLab production for an hour. Spend your hour on LYSFLAtH or even Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, or anything else.

wow

TOO LONG.

Never really been a fan of soul music but perhaps something might change after this.

Beautiful production, vocals, and harmonies. Wonderful album.

One of the best pop albums I've ever laid my ears upon.

why in gods name is this on this list

The rebel child is showing... Fun and nothing too special, as punk should be. Some may argue it's filth, disgusting, noisy, boring, garbage. To all of those people, take this middle finger and kindly shove it up your ass. 3 stars.

A bit of bad, but a whole lotta good. I would’ve preferred shorter songs though, but that’s just personal preference. Fav songs: I’m a Man, Sylvia, Glory Days Least fav song: I think it was Dishes but I honestly forgot

There we some parts where I was like "wait, this is peak." And there were some when I was questioning life. I enjoyed this one, though. Favs: What Have I Done to Deserve This?, Shopping, Hit Music Least Fav: King's Cross

This has no right to be this long.

If you forget the fact that this sounds like a mix of Sex Pistols, a printer, and a two year old fucking around, this album is actually pretty catchy. Still sucks, though. Fav song: Lexicon Devil Least fav song: Shut Down

saxophone

All things must pass, and I'm glad these two hours finally did

Fuck Old Pervert

"Start again"

Great background music, and Paint It Black bangs.

I've admittedly never been the biggest fan of EDM music, but I do have to admit that I had a blast listening to this. This may be my new favorite album over an hour long (besides Lift Your Skinny Fists of course, that album is ungodly). I haven't heard this take that often but I'd honestly say this is better than Discovery. Sue me. Solid 9/10

Got a bit boring at the end, but I still enjoyed it, even if it doesn't belong here. Fav song: Ready, Able Least fav song: Foreground

Fuck Ryan Adams but I can't deny that this album is fucking gorgeous.

Not God's gift to man or anything, but it was solid and it didn't overstay its welcome even with how long it is.

A horrible follow-up to a band's magnus opus. As someone who, doesn't entirely love, but enjoys The Velvet Underground & Nico's Self-Titled, imagine my disappointment when I actually got to playing the album. On their debut, the distortion was an interesting aspect of the album, maybe not entirely for me, but I liked it at least a bit. This album is trying too hard to be noisy, and doesn't have any variation whatsoever, besides maybe a few seconds in one or two of the songs. 1/5, was too busy sucking on a ding-dong to make it sound good :(

There were some great parts, but most of the album was just basic house music unfortunately. I can see why someone would like it though!

My reaction to this is like women’s reaction to me. “Sorry, but no” 💔

Y'all like this? Like.. genuinely?

Quickest hour:21 of my life. The vocals were a little difficult to get through but I do like how insane they've become since Animals (two years before), and I guess they fit the protagonist well considering this album is basically just about going insane. It was a great mix of serious and stupid, which is basically all I need in a rock-opera (I know The Trial is nowhere close to the best song on the album but I was giggling the whole time during it, so it's on my standouts). I'd rather listen to Wish You Were Here personally, but I did still enjoy this one. :3 Oh yeah and filler. A ton of filler. Favs: Another Brick In the Wall, Hey You, The Trial Least Favs: None Yes I know Another Brick In the Wall is three songs, fuck off

I mean, I didn't hate it, but it was so messy that I can't see myself giving this anything above a 3. Did not need an eight minute outro.

Section 43 might be the worst song I've ever listened to

Adele's vocals have definitely grown on me with this listen, and I'm honestly questioning why I didn't like them in the first place. There we so many amazing songs on this album, the only issue was a few questionable choices in specific songs that made them kind of lackluster, I guess. Favs: Hello, Love In the Dark, Sweetest Devotion Least fav: All I Ask

Immediately, as soon as I opened 1001albumsgenerator.com and saw this album appear, I thought to myself: "okay easy five stars, right? I mean, it's the Beatles? Abbey Road is, like, a top five album of all time? This has to be good." Am I disappointed? Sure. Did I like it? Yeah. It's not the greatest thing I've ever laid my ears upon, not God's gift to man, and not good enough to make me openly it up at Christmas and not go "shit!" But it's still a Beatles album. The worst Beatles album imo is Let It Be, which is a solid 5/10. This is an 8, probably. I have no complaints about the length. It's interesting to be honest. The thing that moved it down just a tad bit were the songs Don't Pass Me By - Mother Nature's Son. Easily the most boring songs on the album. Revolution 9 is overhated and I kind of love it. Love the Beatles, please don't hurt me <3 I’m gonna go listen to Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge now.

It's just another messy, mediocre, and oftentimes overrated punk album.

I've never been the biggest R.E.M. fan, and I'm 100% sure the reasons as to why come from personal preference. Maybe it's the genre of the music in general, or a vocalist I don't entirely like. But I gave this album the benefit of the doubt. It's not bad, it's just not fantastic. The band has some bangers, and I'll admit that. The chorus on And I Feel Fine is freaking amazing, even if the rest of the song is.. Not great. The only issue is that R.E.M. is nowhere near an album artist. They have a tendency of just placing songs where they want to, and not really caring if it ruins the album experience because the songs before were pretty good. And that's what ruins this album for me, how it can change from some undeniable bops (like Strange, for example) to the blandest and unmemorable last four songs I've heard in a while. They're not fun, they're not memorable, and they should've been replaced. Or at least put somewhere else in the tracklist so it ended on at least a higher note? Some of the ideas weren't exactly there either. I've already mentioned And I Feel Fine, but the fast-paced energy just kind of feels like a jumbled up acoustic version of We Didn't Start the Fire (which is a killer song, tbf). The One I Love honestly did have a cool idea though. It sounds like a love song on the surface, and I was even in the middle of saying something along the lines of: "aww, what a cute love song" when I was rudely interrupted by "FIREEEEEEEEEEEEEE." It's honestly really good. That's about it. That's the end. That's the end of this review. Love you <3

Simply not for me :)

I definitely need to revisited ITANOMTHUB sometime soon There are a few good bops on this thing, but it doesn't work great altogether. There's also a few songs I think are just kind of mediocre which sucks because the vocals are awesome sauce :( Still a solid album all around though. Favs: Lost at Birth, Can't Truss It, 1 Million Bottlebags Least fav: More News at 11

It's really low quality but it's really catchy.

Well, fuck me

La la la la la la la la la la la la

A third Dylan album in 113 days is insane. What's also insane is that this shit is an hour:13 long. The fuck? With all that said, admittedly, I did like this. As background music too. It wasn't amazing, and the uniqueness kinda dies from his earlier stuff but this is still pretty solid. Minus one point for the length.

You know the albums getting worse when the volume on streaming services randomly decreases. I've never been so disappointed. The first song was pretty good and the second song was honestly great. What happened after that? It's just so bland, kind of annoying. It feels like I've been listening to the same song on loop and I still can't pick up any melody.

Really bland and overstayed its welcome.

This is a weird one because I've been negative to music like this SEVERAL times in the past, but I still kind of enjoyed this. Ew! Slow psych rock! Acoustics? What happened to my electric guitars and keyboards and synths? I want Pink Floyd back! It's still not amazing, and I don't know if I'll come back to any of this... Ever. But I liked it more than I should have, which is what an album from a foreign genre should do. Favs: Light My Fire, Back Door Man, End of the Night Least fav: Twentieth Century Fox 7/10

"I gave you seven children and now you wanna give them back" Wow, I'm loving this! Didn't really love the first song but everything after is just great! I love his energy, I love the guitar playing, I love everything. Besides the first song. Obviously.

Yeah this album's good and all but stop trying to touch me

The entire time I was waiting for the intro to end. It's not bad though, I feel like I'm in a movie soundtrack. Funny enough, I prefer the parts without electronica instruments in this album.

Reminds me of when mom took me to an Elmo concert when I was 2 and I jumped on stage and started yelling curses at the crowd and they all joined in and Elmo tackled me and the crowd and we all yelled "OW!"

This is my first time listening to Tom Waits and I really like it! This made me laugh a ton, his voice fits the music, and the intros and interludes and stuff are engaging (even if a few of them didn't have to be separate tracks). I do think the album fell off a bit after Nighthawk Postcards (from like a 9 to an 8) but besides that I really really enjoyed this. I hope Rain Dogs is like 10x better because I think that's his magnus opus, right?

Dreams is literally my favorite song ever made

I really liked the music and the vocals and the concept but holy fuck there's so much vibrato that my chair started vibrating

The music is boring, the drums suck, the lyrics suck, everything about this sucks. -5 stars.

Wow, I literally gave this band a 4/10 the OTHER DAY, but this album is freaking amazing. The more aggressive guitars to the calmer sections are amazing. The weird synths, the details production, the sometimes kooky percussion, the calming vocals, I love love love this one! And everything just flows into each other so well. I can't even tell when something immediately changes from calm to chaos, it works like an experience. And the melodies are great, I have still have a few floating around my head. Favs: Sidewalk Serfer Girl, Shoot Doris Day, Juxtaposed with U Least fav: Miniature, No Sympathy

The only thing this helped me with is showing off that, yes, I do know what a cuíca is.

God, I really just don't like the lyrics on this thing. When they're not overly sexual to the point where it feels perverted, they make genuinely zero sense, like I'm listening to a newborn try to repeat something I said in front of its face a thousand times. The music itself starts off decent but turns to uninteresting and eventually annoying.

This is my second Tom Waits album and I thankfully enjoyed it. Waits is obviously a great and unique vocalist, and just a funny guy all around, and the music itself, even at lower points, is great. There are a lot of songs on here that I do think are just really nothing, though. The execution of them is good but it feels like I'm listening to interlude after interlude. The other Tom Waits album I listened to (Nighthawks at the Diner) had a ton of those, yeah, but they felt like they worked with the other songs on the album. I could barely tell when a song moved from one to another. Sure, they could have been the same song, but on this album, it just kind of feels like completely random interludes that have nothing to do with everything else that don't flow well with the album. Still goated album though. Favs: 16 Shells from a Thirty-Ought Six, Swordfishtrombone, Down, Down, Down Least fav: Johnsburg, Illinois

"God only knows what I'd be without you," RIP Brian Wilson man This album is fucking amazing front-to-back. I don't think anything I can possibly say here has been said for the first time. Wouldn't It Be Nice and Here Today are the two best tracks and are also the too most relatable. Sloop John B has one of the catchiest melodies of all time. You Still Believe In Me makes me want to sit by a fire in my PJs and take three minutes to open a box with two pairs of used socks in it. This thing is just absolute perfection from track 1 to track 13. I love it I love it I love it.

It's a fun listen. I don't really think it's an AMAZING listen and it's definitely not the best punk albums ever, but it's a fun listen. The production is really bad though. Really really bad.

Part of me feels like I should've liked this more while the other part of me is surprised I liked this at all in the first place

I assume an album sucks when I have to go to fucking Youtube.com to listen to it. And yeah, it did.

Just because he says bitch don't kill my vibe doesn't make this good

Yes, I've shit on Everything But the Girl before in the past. Heck, I gave one of their records a 10/100. That's tied for my 6th lowest rated album ever so far. That's pretty fucking low for a softy like me. But I found this album to actually be pretty enjoyable. It does drag a lot and the lyricism is still pretty meh but I expected to like this way way less. I like the added bonus track on the reissue version of this album a lot too. Actually, that might have been my favorite if it was on this. Favs: Love is Where I Live, These Early Days, I Always Was Your Girl Least fav: Goodbye Sunday

Let's get this party started right let's get drunk and freaky fly 😝

I've been meaning to listen to this album for a long goddamn time and today was finally the day I did. And oh my god. I genuinely can't believe what's tickling my ears right now. It sure lives up to the name, because this thing is so heavenly. Every song feels like a psychedelic voyage, but it still is hidden behind stuff like I expect out of shoegaze-esc music. This is amazing.

There are a few songs on here I'd consider genuinely fucking amazing but I'd also like to point out that this isn't even an album. Like 1001 albums, hello???? I'm assuming they think this is the best work in their discography which gives me a little less hope bc there are still some weaker tracks. Not bad tracks, but a little more average than everything else.

Did they put an ass on the cover because I the Strokes it to ass

-Omg Creep reference -Let’s Do It Again got my hormones going crazy so they gotta be doing something right -Sexy has got to be the most insane interlude I’ve ever heard

who who im an owl

I will never not hear Feel Good, Inc. in the xylophone solo on Gone Daddy Gone

I'm pretty sure my pea brain is too stupid to understand how good this album is but it was released on my birthday so it gets 3 extra points
