There's a reason I switched this from a 4 to a 5: this album literally has the best song on the planet on it (AKA the title track). Slowly but surely, I am also getting used to Shine On You Crazy Diamond. God, the lyric "you were caught in the crossfire of childhood and stardom" hits deep. And so does "you stranger, you legend, you martyr." The amount of times I've replayed that part is probably longer than the actual song (/hj) Favs: Wish You Were Here, Shine On You Crazy Diamond, Have a Cigar Least Favs: N/A

TOO LONG.

Well, fuck me

I don't really listen to soul music but I'm basically all for hard rock so this was a pleasant surprise I originally didn't think this album was gonna get a very high rating, maybe a 3, but by the first two tracks I switched to a 4, and the reason I'm bumping it up to a 5 is because of ALL THE CHAOTIC SHIT THEY DO THAT MAKES THIS THING INCREDIBLE BRO??? There's this bass solo in one of the songs that makes it go really hard, they let voice cracks out during screamos to make it feel more raw, and the distorted high guitars are peak. If you like soul (or hip-hop) or hard rock, I would definitely recommend giving this album a listen. :)

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.

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.

It's like saying Knocked Loose's new album should be on this list. I think it's great, but it should NOT be here.

The best albums come to you at the worst times, don't they?

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. 4 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

I was expecting to like this, came out loving it. Favs: Writing To Reach You, The Fear, As You Are, Driftwood, The Last Laugh Of The Laughter, Turn, Why Does It Always Rain On Me?, Luv, She’s So Strange, Slide Show Least Favs: N/A

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 10/10

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
