This guy smokes a lot of cigarettes, looks like someone from Smashmouth, and would beat their wife if they could ever get one. This is bad

Dear Science

TV On The Radio · 1 likes

2/5

This is the most meh albums I’ve listened to yet. It doesn’t make me happy, mad, annoyed, excited, tired, or anything else really. I really have no idea as to why this is on the list but The Colour and The Shape isn’t. (2)

This is exactly what I imagine the 80s sounded like

R.E.M.

3/5

If yesterday’s album was a 3.1, this is a 3.9. Almost a 4 but their voice just doesn’t do it for me

This sounds like phineas and ferb (2). It’s fine, I’d get why someone would like it, but I think it’s not good

Back In Black

AC/DC

5/5

I mean, yeah it’s AC/DC. I dont love the vocals, but they’re iconic enough for me to ignore it. I feel like a frat boy but it does fuck

Kick Out The Jams (Live)

I understand the significance, but it just doesn’t sound good. Just because it’s one of the first in a genre doesn’t mean it has to be bad. (1)

Konnichiwa

Skepta

3/5

Grime. There’s definitely a cultural difference between uk and us rap, but overall I didn’t hate it. Some of it is cringe, some of it bangs

Their other albums are better, but this is still pretty good (3)

Chirping Crickets

Just good 50s music. idk if it’s the genre or the time, but a lot of the songs sound similar

2/5

I just don’t think it’s that good

Paul's Boutique

4/5

The 13th Floor Elevators

2/5

LP1

FKA twigs

3/5

Idk why so many people on here hate on this. It’s not her best album, but it’s still good

Imagine

John Lennon

3/5

Just alright

Coles Corner

Richard Hawley

3/5

Warehouse: Songs And Stories

Hüsker Dü

2/5

Kinda just a worse R.E.M. like they sound the same

Heroes to Zeros

The Beta Band

2/5

What I don’t understand is this: why is this album on this list. It’s a slightly below average album with little to no cultural significance. You’d be lying if you told me there was not another better album it could be replaced with. Also Troubles is a worse attempt at world peace than the COVID Imagine video.

Hail To the Thief

Radiohead

3/5

I think I don’t like Radiohead. I don’t really understand why they’re so hyped. Sonically, it’s pretty good, but the vocals sound whiny and, at least on this album, the lyrics aren’t as provoking as they think they are

The Stone Roses

Adele

Risque

CHIC

3/5

I mean, it’s disco. It’s certainly not my favorite genre of music, and there are definitely songs that drag on for too long, but it’s still a pretty good album. Also Will You Cry is the best song. 3.5

Africa Brasil

Jorge Ben Jor

4/5

This is a little hard to rate. The music itself is amazing, but I don’t speak Portuguese. 4 (5 if I could understand the lyrics)

3/5

Time hasn't been too kind to albums in this genre. The flows are very similar throughout and across songs, and that causes a lot of songs to stay too long and kind of melt together. Good album when it came out (probably), but doesn't hold imo. High 2 - Low 3

The vocals sound like when you're fighting a big dumb monster and it's mad that you're trying to choke him but you're hanging from its neck so it can't reach back and grab you and it's really annoyed so it's just trying to shake you off really hard

2.9 // poorly mixed, grungy, rage-y towards the end

Hounds Of Love

Kate Bush

3/5

3 // "if i could make a deal with god" song that was on tiktok, spacey "pop"? Think 80s, think trying too hard to be deep. Sounds good tho

Djam Leelii

Baaba Maal

3/5

3 // Senegalese artist, pretty relaxing. Yes, repetitive, but I didn't mind

Faust IV

Faust

3/5

2.9 // weird space-y sounds a lot of the time, some songs drag out a while, weird but not too much where it's hurting the music

Urban Hymns

The Verve

3/5

3 // brit pop, fun, definitely not bad, but didn't really do anything for me

Face to Face

The Kinks

3/5

3 // beatles-like

Follow The Leader

Korn

2/5

2 // some true butt rock. this smells like sweat, in just the worst way. worst part about it: can't truly it's terrible, it's definitely iconic.

Real Life

Magazine

3/5

2.9 // punk, but sometimes sounded like clown - carnival music. weird, but honestly didn't hate it

2112

Rush

3/5

3 // I mean, it's Rush. Not the most popular songs, it's just kinda okay for me

High Violet

The National

2/5

2 // Very 2010s rock album. It sounds exactly like what you'd expect from an album with this cover. To me, this is nothing music

Reign In Blood

Slayer

2/5

2 // death/heavy metal. hasn't completely lost the plot with noise, but still disjointed enough to be hard to listen to

Diamond Life

Sade

3/5

3 // poppy r&b from the 80s. exactly what you'd think that'd sound like. catchy and fun, but nothing crazy

Moondance

Van Morrison

4/5

3.9 // I mean, it's a Van Morrison album. Folk-y and nice/calm. Doesn't blow you away but pretty good

Butterfly

Mariah Carey

3/5

2.8 // The songs are pretty repetitive, but that's for a reflection of the era the album comes from. 90s R&B, sounds great to just listen to, but nothing much there imo

Tago Mago

Can

2/5

2.1 // Exactly what you'd expect from an experimental, mostly psychedelic, early 70s album. Wasn't completely unlistenable, but some songs were really bad

Yankee Hotel Foxtrot

Wilco

4/5

4.1 // Very calm songs, some are bangers. Soft indie rock music

Call of the Valley

Shivkumar Sharma

4/5

3.8 // Indian instrumental music. I can absolutely see how this influenced The Beatles and others. Once you hear this you understand how those groups thought to experiment with their instruments a little more. That being said, the music itself is relaxing, but doesn't hit me extremely hard. It, of no fault of its own, suffers from being from a culture different from one I know, so I can't connect with it enough to give it a higher score.

Connected

Stereo MC's

3/5

2.6 // This is music Carlos would listen to while playing hacky sack. 90s British dance?/electronic music. It isn't bad, but does it need to be on this list? Eh, probably not

Hybrid Theory

Linkin Park

2/5

2.4 // I don't use this word often or lightly, but this is cringe. I see how people like it, but that does not mean I like it. It isn't nice, but I do think a little lesser of the person who loves this album. Objectively, it isn't terrible, but I do not like it. It should, sadly, be on this list, however. I do (and I'm not sure if it is ironic or not) like how the "crawling in my skin" line sounds. Maybe it's the COD nostalgia.

In The Wee Small Hours

Frank Sinatra

4/5

3.7 // My italian-american is showing. Sad Sinatra

Moving Pictures

Rush

2/5

4.2 // Rush is technically rock, but the music is too unapproachable on a technical level for me to call it rock. That's not to say it's bad; it's more of a clinic in how to drum, how to play bass, and how to sing.

London Calling

The Clash

5/5

One of the best albums ever

evermore

Taylor Swift

5/5

4.6 // pretty good
