The Cars
It's alright, nothing revolutionary. It feels no different from other similar artists from the same era. Actually, the other artists were doing it way better. Doesn't really feel like an album that is a must listen.

Power In Numbers
Jurassic 5
Haven't heard of them before (I'm not too knowledgeable when it comes to hip hop) so I had no expectations for this one. I was pleasantly surprised! Really good instrumentals and the rap had a nice flow (will read the lyrics later, my non-native ears are bad at understanding rap in English). It was fun to hear Nelly Furtado on one song too. My only complaint is that the album is a bit too long, it could've been 5 songs shorter.

The Flaming Lips
I've heard of The Flaming Lips before but never checked them out. Let's just say after this album I will need another 20+ years to listen to them again. I like indie/alternative but this album is an example of alt rock that I hate. No interesting melodies, no interesting moments, the album dragged on and I was already waiting for it to end after the 3rd song.

I've only heard one song from this album before (you can guess which one) so I knew what sort of vibe it will have. The album was alright but also nothing stood out to me. Didn't have a bad time listening to it though, so I can't say it was bad. Just not spectacular.

The Low End Theory
A Tribe Called Quest
According to my Last.fm stats I've heard the first song from this album some time ago but it was my first time listening to the album in full. While I do enjoy the general vibe the album failed to make me pay attention to individual songs, they kind of blended together for me and started sounding samey after a while. I get that it's an important and influential album but it's... just not for me.

Fulfillingness' First Finale
Stevie Wonder
Nothing but respect for Stevie but most of the albums generated for me thus far have been rather slow paced and this is yet another one. At least the instrumentals are interesting in this one and there's a bigger variety between songs. Not really good for a rainy lazy day like today though, I need something more energetic.

Me Against The World
2Pac
The generator is generating a lot of hip hop albums for me for some reason. I've heard some 2pac tracks before but this is my first time listening to a full album. Eh, sorry but not my thing. I think I'm coming to the realization that I'm a music over lyrics person and hip hop is a genre where lyrics are the main and most important part. So that means I just don't really care about any particular track on this album because I just don't pay attention to any lyrics when the instrumentals are quite samey.

Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Heard it before and don't remember liking it. Elvis Costello is just so lame to me I can't force myself to like him. I keep forgetting he's from the UK so listening to him I feel as if I'm listening to an American doing an imitation of British rock from the 70s. The vibes are just off. Allegedly the 1001 list has a bunch of his albums and I don't think I'm gonna survive this.

And as somebody who was really into 90s British music when I was a teen I can just TELL that the author of this list must've been a teen/young adult in the 90s in the UK because there's no other explanation for why somebody would think this album a must-listen for everybody around the world. The tracks I like from it I do like, but as a whole it isn't exceptional in any way.

This is my punishment for saying that all Rolling Stones tracks sound like nothing to me yesterday. This album doesn't help.

The Dictators
Never heard of them and for a good reason it seems. On principle I'm skeptical of American bands from the 70s that are called punk because I think The Ramones are one of the most embarrassing bands ever. This band here? About as proto-punk as Cher whose cover is on this album for god knows what reason. The Stooges were 10 times more proto-punk 6 years earlier. The Dictators clearly haven't heard of them.

Haven't heard of this before. A chill, background music-esque album about nuclear weapons doesn't seem appropriate to me.

Only heard two most recent Taylor albums in full but never this one except for the singles. The title of the album is so funny considering how 2014 it sounds (and looks when it comes to the album cover). This particular brand of pop music is not something I like, it just sounds so juvenile. I don't want it to look like I hate the album just because it's Taylor (hell, I thought Midnights was an OK album) but she really just doesn't make music that appeals to me in any way

As we say in Polish, every song "is from a different parish". It just sounds so... random and has way too many tracks. And it's not a type of punk I enjoy. The only surprising thing from this album is the Jackass intro song?? I had no idea it's their song
