I don't often go out of my way for drum n' bass, but when it finds me, I'm hooked. Highly recommend as a starting point for newbies, and the vocal mix helps as well. Also, the Spotify link is not the correct album (Logical Progession Level 1). The actual compilation is completely different. Just go find a link on Youtube instead. Copyright issues, I assume.

Cold and almost heartless, but still offers plenty of variety and passion.

One of my favorites so far. Scratches the Chicago itch. Short, but very sweet and very good.

I am not the biggest Bob Dylan fan. I do not like how he ends every single phrase on a dissonant note, or barely a note for that matter. Amazing instrumentals, however, and wonderful harmonica playing.

A classic. Heavenly choruses, and huge impact on the music industry as a whole.

David Bowie but 90s. Very solid album.

Great for any mood. Wonderful playing, all around solid. Could use a volume boost on a modern set of speakers.

Not quite my tempo. 175bpm, to be exact.

A difficult listen at times, but I respect the vision. May revisit one day and give it another shot

Didn't expect this to be as good as it was. A very pleasant surprise.

Good singing, but not much else. Today was not my day.

Pleasantly surprised by this one. Will check out the rest of their stuff

A great blend of everything great and badass about the 90s.

I'm getting sick of British rock.

Heartbreaking, but beautiful

Timeless

Surprisingly good. Edited? Probably. Still some good songs that I did know this band had under their belt. Also, those dual lead guitars are just killer.

Good, but surprisingly forgettable.

Leave this album in the middle ages where it belongs. Leave the peasants some acid, too. Maybe they'll enjoy it.

Not the most exciting Electronica, but still enjoyable enough to give it a second listen.

Another good folk rock album. Ending your album with 23 minutes of jam session is quite bold.

Painfully bland but somehow still enjoyable. 2/5 stars for using the same drumbeat on the entire runtime of the album.

Toys in the Attic was better. Still a good album in its own right.

Strong side A, weaker side B. Solid all around.

Is there a reason for this album to be on here other than the fact that John Cale produced it? Just go listen to VU. Better use of your time and you won't have to listen to the nightmare that is Pablo Picasso.

Satire finally done right. Music actually serves the lyrics and isn't an incoherent or boring nightmare. Chaotic on purpose, and not just for the sake of chaos.

It took me years to figure out why I don't enjoy this album, and it finally hit me today: the drummer sucks. Granted, when you make a drummer sit through 12 minute tracks, he's bound to get bored and start playing some stupid shit. Every fill he plays is somehow worse than the last, none of them serving the music or making sense stylistically. My favorite tracks are the ones where he does not play or is not featured. Also, please adjust the mic for the snare or tell him to tune it. It sounds like a wet fish being slapped against a table. If they got a different drummer for this album, I'd give it another shot. Everything on top of the drums is entertaining and sometimes enjoyable, but hard to truly appreciate when I am constantly being distracted every four bars.

Blistering jump charts with plenty of charm. Surprised by the complete lack of information on this album. Louis Prima was quite the character though.

I've forgotten every second of this album. And Pop, which I turned on the second I finished this one.

Spoken lyrics and lazy production: my favorite! Maybe if half of this album wasn't played on a Yamaha keyboard I might actually enjoy it

I was a hater, but I was a blind hater. Hearing the first few minutes of Taxman was enough for me to change my ways. A very impressive album that uses the studio as an instrument for the first time, allowing infinite possibilities.

Not essential, but solid.

Blows Metallica out of the water. Genuinely some of the tightest early 90s metal I've ever heard. And I can hear the lyrics!

I've spent many hours trying to hit the high notes on Reasons, and I always have fun doing it. Truly one of the best soul/funk albums ever released. It's criminal that this album is their only inclusion on this list. I Am should be on here too.

Horrible album for retail workers. Listening to this album feels like your coworker had an extra ticket to this concert and you had nothing better to do. Almost fell asleep.

It's good, but just has some strange decisions. Why did you bring in a symphony for two tracks? Why did you throw in one live track and not either cut or fade out the clapping? Hard to listen to as a collective album, but not bad as individual songs. I'm sure my rating on this album will improve as I listen to the six other Neil Young albums on this baffling list.

Better than Sensual World, but still not something I'd come back to. Experimental pop is a difficult genre.

I would see this movie

Consider turning up the vocals. Otherwise, a great trance-like experience like no other hip-hop album. Might be better with Genius open on a separate monitor.

Arguably more enjoyable than Nick Drake. Wonderfully complex playing and beautiful singing.

Perhaps a little too sexy at time. Still some of the best drum machine and synth work to ever come out of the 80s. That snare is to die for.

It's over. I don't have to listen to any more Kate Bush ever again. Considering adding more enjoyable female artists to this list. Experimental doesn't always mean influential.

A surprisingly good romp. Very confident in every decision it makes.

I've had enough Irish rock for one week

Great story behind this one. Helped me realize that I'm actually a fan of Dylan, but only whenever there's a band behind him drowning out his awful voice. I should just listen to The Band, huh?

Spending more time with this one will easily bump it up to a 5.

Takes a couple listens to enjoy. Also knowing Damon Albern is in this band helps.

One of the best albums ever recorded. Mixed and compound meter aside, everyone on here plays like they live in 5 and 7. Beautiful playing from Desmond, Morello's fills and drum solos are to die for, and Brubeck knows exactly what works and when. A master class of jazz, song composition, soloing, all of the above.

Still poetry over music. Just mesh the two and maybe I'll give a shit. Probably my favorite Cohen release, but the bar was never high.

Requires two listens to fully enjoy. Broadway musical feel with some great lyrics and orchestration.

Congrats on taking "solo album" as seriously as possible. Maybe finish a couple songs before releasing this half-baked Beatles out-take collection.

A blast.

If you take 2 steps back from the microphone, the harmonica might actually be enjoyable.

An important stepping stone for the band, offering some great, but often forgotten tracks. Razor Boy probably gets stuck in my head once a week, My Old School a close second. Bodhisattva? Stuck on loop.

Certainly ahead of its time. Great album, amazing guitar tone.

Shockingly timeless. You could have told me this just released and I would have believed you.

Not as good as I had hoped. Hopefully his most underwhelming release.

Does every British pop artist sing like David Bowie?

Not nearly as compelling as Violator, but still a really good time. The deluxe edition tracks really threw me for a loop. A cover of Route 66? Moonlight Sonata?

Oh, how I wish you were actually on Spotify. Maybe one day I'll find a pressing out in the wild.

Long interludes don't belong in house music. Otherwise, very nice.

Heavenly. That bass tone makes me feel things.

Ok. Better than other indie rock outings, but not interesting. Take Me Out is the most enjoyable track.

The Beatles came back from the dead and sounded surprisingly more competent than before! Just another British rock album, but a bit more polish than the others. Doesn't save it from mediocrity.

Dear author, please reconsider your actions of removing this from the 2018 version of the book. You only kept TPAB in because of the critical acclaim it sees from every RYM user, and DAMN is nowhere to be seen. The level of disrespect on one of the most popular and influential rappers of this generation, just crazy.

What a mid-ass waste of time. Didn't even finish it.
