1001 Albums Summary

Don't know why I gave this a 3. Easily a 4 because Sara, now one of my favorite Fleetwood Mac songs, is on it. Very beautiful and I liked the ledge or whatever too.

I have always had a little disdain for David Bowie. I don't know why. Maybe he seems pretentious to me, maybe I'm annoyed by how artsy everyone who listens to him thinks they are, maybe it's the fact that he said he was a closet heterosexual or whatever. The idea of Bowie annoys me, but I've never listened to anything but Under Pressure. Immediately, I'm concerned that the songs average over 6 minutes. But I like LCD Soundsystem, so length isn't much of an issue, as long as it's occupied by good music. The titular track is 10 minutes. Sigh. Station to Station: I enjoy the groovy vibe, and I do think it sounds good despite the minute or so of bullshit at the beginning. I don't like his voice much at all. It's cute and catchy and upbeat, especially at the end. A solid, groovy jam despite its inane length. Golden Years: This is also catchy and nice and friendly and poppy and good. Sounds the same as the last song, but that's probably because it's my first listen. I like the whistling, I like the "gooolden years" sort of doo-wopping in the background. And the instrumental gets more intense in the last seconds, which is cool. No fade-out. Thank god. Word on a Wing: "Ooh, ready to shape the scheme of things" was good. I liked some of the piano. It's weirdly dramatic, like a musical or an opera or something which is what I don't like about Bohemian Rhapsody. But I like actual musicals and some songs like that -- Copacabana; Holy, Holy; etc. So I don't know what my deal is. TVC15: I like that it's about a TV. I like the premise of a love song for a TV. Or an ode, or whatever you call this. And it's groovy. It's all groovy. I like it. Stay: From the jump, great guitar riff. This is the type of shit I'd listen to if I wanted to go driving at night. This, Song for the Dead by QOTSA, Catfish by Doechii... good. Edgy! Until, of course, the man opens his mouth. I dislike his voice. It's good. It's great at the start until it gets a little lamer sounding. But it's good. Wild Is the Wind: I'm already bored. I immediately do not care. This song would go better in West Side Story, I think. Why does David Bowie sound so old and ghostly? This song almost scares me. Ugh. I don't like it much.

I'm not really a jazz person. I've never heard of these people. I like Liana Flores and she's sort of jazzy. I have a couple jazzy playlists I play sometimes (in love with you jazz + kipper sunday). And I'm not dressed for this kind of music. I'm dressed, today, for Bikini Kill. But this is still very pleasant. I'd take a walk to this. I'd go grocery shopping to this or maybe I'd drink tea and eat toast on my porch. It's lovely. A little long, though, and I do prefer Liana Flores. It all sounds the same. If I listen for too long, it all becomes mush and slightly annoying, even. But it's reminiscent of PBS kids shows -- Curious George or Eloise. I don't know why but it reminds me of being a kid. I enjoy it but it's not totally remarkable.

One of my favorite albums ever! So so good. Shout out to Maya's mom for suggesting it to me. Debaser: Those first few seconds are so electric -- such a good start to an album. Such a strong sound. I often relisten to debaser just for that delicious beginning riff. And then you listen more and it continues being great. Black Francis's silly, stupid lyrics, the line "I am un chein ! Andalusia," the way he pronounces "Andalusia," his crazed, deranged, discombobulated delivery contrasting with the lovely feminine "debaaaser!" Tame: Another favorite that I loved immediately the first time I listened to the album. The restrained drum beat and offputting vocals followed by the completely untethered, insane screaming of "TAME!" Ironic. Funny. Weird. And sometimes, I need to listen to screams. Wave of Mutilation: A song that I didn't love the first few times, and it's still not my favorite, but it's definitely grown on me a lot. It's got gentler vocals and overall sound than some of the other tracks, which is pleasant. The lyrics are interesting, because even though "mutilation" is inherently gory and aggressive, "wave" is like you're in Hawaii or something! And the vocals are like that too! It's kinda funny and very nice to listen to. Mutilation, so romantic. I Bleed: It's alright, but this is one of those that I usually skip. It's not catchy or interesting enough and the vocals become a little too eerie for me. It has grown on me, though, so I do listen through it on occasion. Here Comes Your Man: Love this, just like everyone else does. Very cute and upbeat and romantic and I love Kim Deal, as always. The kind of thing I'd listen to on Valentine's day. Makes me wanna dance. It's just so good. Dead: One of the songs I go back to again and again. I like the muffled sort of thing and the yelping of "Dead!" being the entire chorus is always funny. Black Francis is just so funny and expressive. Monkey Gone to Heaven: This one is special to me because it was one my dad would play on the guitar all the time when I was a kid (which is the way I know lots of songs, especially anything by Radiohead) and I'd get upset at the notion of anything not-human going to heaven. "Monkeys can't go to heaven!" But now, I love this song. It's got that wacky storyline and the "GOD is seven!" stuff is so wacky. So good. Mr. Grieves: My favorite song for quite some time -- not just off this album, my favorite song of the Pixies, my favorite song in general. Short and sweet, super catchy, has that cryptic lyricism and animated delivery we all know and love, plus some texture in terms of the pace. SO good. Crackity Jones: Another wacky, story-type song. I like his voice, I like the weird microphone quality, I like that he speaks a little Spanish. I like how quick it is. Never a dull moment. La La Love You: Love this one, too, and upon looking up the lyrics on genius, have just found out that it's sung by David Lovering, the drummer, rather than Black Francis. Which is cool! And he certainly has a smoother, suaver voice that is appropriate for a song like this. That "shake your butt!" lead-in is pretty cheeky (ha-ha, get it?) and the "first base, second base, third base, home run" also earns a good chuckle. Such a good listen. No. 13 Baby: This just might be my favorite. It's so great. It starts off weird (in a good way), but it really rocks the more you listen. "Tattooed tit". It's funny. And the "I'm in a state" chant is also great. His weird, whiny voice as he starts that third verse. There's too much to talk about. Every second is incredible. But the main bit isn't the best part -- the best part is the end. The minute-something at the end with the layered instruments is SO good. It cannot be overstated. It's orgasmic. It's jammy. It's the best. There Goes My Gun: Perfect, sharp guitar at the beginning with those "Yoo hoo!"s. Iconic. Super repetitive song, but so good. I always forget about this one until I listen to the whole album, but it's really awesome. Hey: Very jarring "HEY!" at the start, but it's the name of the song. "... or whores in my head, whores at the door, whore in my bed" is a great line. "If you go, I will surely die" is, too. Then the chai-a-ained bit is also incredible. What's not to love? Great guitar. God, it's like a night on an island. Then, I think the most remarkable part is the ridiculous "UH!" dialogue part? It's like, if you actually listen to it, I'm sure it has a real storyline which I ought to consider, but the way he says them is just so funny. "Whores like a choir." Silver: This is another song I didn't like at all when I first listened, but after some time I've grown to almost love it? Kinda? I certainly am willing to listen to it. It's got a weird, gold-rush-y vibe to it that I've actually started to appreciate despite the really freaky vocals. Gouge Away: SO good. The contrast in the vocals from the first and second verse is always interesting, and the "some marijuana, if you got some" is always a fun line and kinda reminds me of the line in Hair where he's like "can ya spare some marijuanaaaa?" I love this song. Just really solid. I do wish No. 13 Baby would come last so that my last taste of the album would be that luscious ending minute, but Gouge Away is completely worthy anyways. Overall, one of the best albums I've ever listened to. I'd say it's almost perfect. So creative and lively and each song is a little different, but there's just so much awesome sound and it's so so so so very great.

I think it's a little better than I originally gave it credit for. Very good music. Sounds good just a little repetitive maybe?

I think this album was really solid. I'd never heard of Supergrass (but apparently my dad saw them open for Radiohead once and loves the song "Late in the Day," which I've unknowingly heard him play on the guitar from time to time). From the cover of the album, I expected it to be much weirder. Avant-garde, freaky, experimental, harsh, moody -- like Sonic Youth or something. But it was actually rather upbeat Britpop! I liked most every song, especially Sitting Up Straight and She's so Loose, which I'll definitely listen to again. I didn't love Alright (because it reminds me of that annoying fun. song which I feel like it must be related to in some way, because they sound the exact same) or the one that opens with weird, pitched-up minionese sounding stuff. It was weird. I think it was We're Not Supposed To. But overall, great album! Very easy listen, lots of great instrumentals and the vocals are nice too. I'd say 4.5 if that was allowed, but 4 will have to do. Not quite 5 material yet, but maybe if I listened more.

So awesome! Not my favorite album of Nirvana's, but still super good. Love that sweet skinless angel lady on the cover. Some weird and aggressive sounds on this album but duh. Every song is good but Serve the Servants, Heart-Shaped Box, Rape Me (takes the cake for worst song to play around your parents), Dumb, Pennyroyal Tea, and All Apologies are my favorites. And that's, like, half of them. Iconic album for a reason.

I'm scared as fuck listening to this. Immediately as the album starts I am fucking terrified. This is too goddamn freaky for me. His voice is like remarkable and pleasantly grumbly but so scary. I'm actually terrified. It's 3 AM as I write this and I am terrified. It's weirdly good? Like, I see how a person would like this a lot. It's niche and it's quality. But it's not my vibe, at least not as of the first song. It's a cool vibe. The cover with its smoking and its neatness and its simplicity, the spoken word. It's interesting. It's very creepy right now. I can't quite tell what genre this is supposed to be, which I guess is the point. I'm sure Leonard didn't write this under the impression that it'd be conventional. It kinda reminds me of Hadestown although it really doesn't sound like it. It's just awfully ominous. I think I'm not a deep enough person to get this kinda stuff yet. Treaty was less scary but worse sounding than the first song. The slow ass piano is doing precisely nothing for me. But I don't know that this kind of music is supposed to sound good. It's more like poetry set to a beat, which I also respect. OK, after skimming its wiki page, I understand it a little better, but I still don't think I'd ever listen to this recreationally. I guess its message and lyricism is probably extremely profound and it's so crazy that he died so soon after its release. Despite being very cold and harsh in its sound (at least to me), this is sort of warm. It feels like a weirder version of a grandparent relaying the story of their life. Leaving the Table is sort of pleasant and very sad. I think it might make me cry if I listened harder and at a different time. It makes me sad that he was working on it so close to his death. I guess I never pay attention the last days of any famous figure, or anyone at all. It feels like those years are forbidden, like the last stretch of a person's life should be dedicated to illness and idleness rather than creativity and art and real thought. It's unexpected. I forget that old people really have deep emotions and thoughts, which sounds so terrible and stupid. But it might be more common than you think! We treat old people like husks! And here he is, mourning and celebrating his own life on a record! It's certainly inspiring and profound and I have respect for it in that aspect. Like, it's much deeper than most of the music I listen to. It's a lot more whole. But I would still never listen to this for fun and it just doesn't quite appeal to me as music. So I'd give it a 1/5, not because I think it's a bad album, but because I probably wouldn't listen to it again although I'm glad I did.

LIke it's fine but idrgaf

I liked it -- chill and I picked up on the apostastic(?) themes. I listened through it once but I will certainly pick it up again soon.

Pretty good! I have a vinyl from Bad Company (it's Desolation Angels) but I've never really given it a listen, I just liked that it was extremely cheap (because it had like 2 scratches) and had cool cover art. But this album was really good and I'll listen to it again.

Weird as fuck. Every song is more than 8 minutes. What is wrong with him? He's dead. Thank god. Just kidding! I love Frank Zappa. Cool last name. Did you know they named a bacteria after him? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propionibacterium_acnes_type_zappae Anyways, this was nice and kind of jazzy. But I liked it better than the other jazz album you assholes made me listen to. I especially liked the first track, which was more short and sweet and had an interesting oriental edge. Hot Rats is good, but I would not listen to it much again. I like Don't Eat The Yellow Snow. Long Live Frank Zappa.

Did not love it. Just too weird for me and not enjoyable enough. Maybe it'd change if I listened more. I know Nick the Stripper, but that one is relegated to my eclectic party mix playlist for comedic effect.

literally not good idk it sounds like it would be down my alley but it kinda gives christian music energy and also i don’t like this guys vocals but thats just me! It's not often that I zone out to an album and then stir just to turn it the fuck off because that's how much it annoys me. It's probably the most boring rock album I've ever heard.

I love the album cover a lot. It's very artsy and collage-y and discordant but at the same time very simplistic and beautiful. It's probably what I like most about this album, to be honest. I don't like how it's made for a movie. Obviously it serves that purpose well and I will probably watch that movie now, but half the music having no real lyrics or whatever annoys me from a purely listening perspective. I'm sure it's awesome if you watch the movie, though. The first track, Playground Love, I know I've heard a lot on social media or something. Very popular, I think. The Word Hurricane stood out to me. It reminds me of some of the weirder songs I like, like Narrator by Squid or maybe the Pavement is My Pillow by Headaches (which I've been listening to more now -- thanks, Evan) or She Works Out Too Much by MGMT or We Want Your Soul by whoever the hell that's by. Probably because of the talking. Dirty Trip is also very interesting ambient music. I like this. I wonder how this kind of stuff plays into a real movie. And it's interesting that it starts sounding shitty at times. Dude, just found out Danny DeVito's in this fucking thing and now I HAVE to watch it. Either it's gonna be a hilarious movie or Danny DeVito's gonna play a serious role, which are actually equally funny outcomes. Highschool Lover makes me sad. I will never know the sweet, soft sound of highschool love beyond hopelessly unrequited non-crushes. Anyways.. I think because it's so much instrumental, even though the instrumental is pretty nice and soothing at times and interesting, I have to max it out at like 4 stars tops. I'll give it like strong 3 because there were some tracks I really liked -- I added Dirty Trip to like 5 playlists. I will certainly listen again and I hope the album art inspires me to do something similar.

I cherished this album and I wrote much more in depth stuff that got deleted because I forget this website doesn't autosave, but I loved (almost) every single song. Very wonderful. Also I just discovered 2hollis's week-old single, style, which is very good! Not as purely wonderful as this album but it's hard. Different.

It was fine but not as good as I felt like it should be. Maybe if I listen to it more. Or maybe I'm more of a Demon Days person. But I like blur!

Soooo good, this album. Of course, Kanye's literally a crazy nazi these days, but he was a REALLY good musician, I think. Like, this album has some really complex, incredible, catchy songs. All Falls Down is so good that I used in my AP Lang argument essay (Thank you Kanye for the 5, not so much for the alt right tweets). It's clever (like most rap that I've listened to) and it has commentary and its sound is so remarkable to me. I don't listen to all that much rap, so to me at least, this seems like REALLY good rap/hip hop/whatever. REALLY good music in general. And it's funny. Laugh-out-loud funny, at times. It is serious at times and silly at others. It's just good. That being said, I mostly listen to the first half of this album even though I'm certain I've listened to it in full. I’ve been listening to this lots recently (not because of the nazi stuff, but IN SPITE of it!) In fact, this was my most listened album of the week, which is unusual because it’s some indie rock bullshit. Intro: I mean, this is just silly. His voice is so hilarious. The inflection, the pacing. Sharing candy and stuff. Funny. We Don't Care: A hilarious song. Like, FUNNY. The literal children singing about drug dealing is funny but it's also sad. There's commentary to be heard but it's also just silly. The drug game bulimic, it's hard to get weight/So []'s money is homo, it's hard to get straight" is zingy af. Also, it just sounds awesome. Catchy and calming in a certain way. Graduation Day: OH my god this is so funny. There is like NO time between "we don't care what people sa-ay!" and "What in the FUCK was that, Kanye???" Like, the contrast between that beautiful feminine voice and Kanye's ridiculous faculty character. It's FUNNY, dude. And then you get a sneaky super-good mini-song. Like, "I'm no longer confused, but don't tell anybody" is so genuinely good that I can't even dismiss this as just a silly, skippable part of the album. All Falls Down: I LOVE this song, dude. Why wouldn't I? It's so good, it's catchy, you get the beautiful voice of Syleena Johnson blending so well with Kanye's verses, which are actually pretty profound and tell realistic stories. Like, yeah, you have the bit on materialism, but then the added context of black materialism(??) is extra-interesting to listen to. I'm not black so maybe I don't get it fully but it definitely feels important. Also, Kanye's delivery is just solid. "Sophomore, three yurrs ain't picked a carrur, she like 'fuck it, I'll just stay down hurr and do hair," is sooooo good. And I watched a clip of him doing this as a slam poem, I think -- super good. Like, he was a real artist at this point. That's cool. It's funny, too. "Pass that ver-say-see!" I'll Fly Away: Quaint song. Apparently one of the most recorded gospel hymns ever and I'm sure there's some significance that is lost on me there. Spaceship: Mellow and groovy. And I get the feeling that this song was trendy at some point, I don't know. Sounds more familiar than maybe it should. A little repetitive but idc it's so good. Jesus Walks: I guess this is one of the cooler Christian songs I've heard. I mean, Christianity's cool but this is a little bitter to listen to with all his current NAZI stuff. But it does sound super good and it's sort of interesting and like... cool to hear a rapper be super god-loving? I guess it comes off as earnest and I appreciate that. Also, the "JE-SUS WALKS" is a very jarring but very interesting sound. I like it. The repetition of the n-word in the background is kind of insane but like .. good idk it's hard to comment on this song as an athiest wasian Never Let Me Down: Good. Love the mix between melodious singing and rapping in this album, it feels like he's got a whole chorus behind him and it makes the sound very grand. Sam's Club line is good. Don't get the God stuff but the "Take 'em to church" was cool. Get Em High: This is the part of the album where I kind of stop paying attention when I listen to it. This is good, like the rest of the album, but skippable. Not totally remarkable, at least to me in this moment. Workout Plan: I resent the fact that this and The New Workout Plan are named so similarly. I play the wrong one all the time. But this is a really fun skit to listen to. I love girls and I love girl talk, even if it's scripted. Cute and silly and funny. New Workout Plan: Banger banger banger. So complex with so many different parts and it's FUNNY and it's SO good. A creative idea for a song, great execution -- the thank-yous with the Alabama girl who could "date outside the family" is SO funny. "Mo'." repetition is so fun to listen to. The drum beat that comes in with the autotuned voice is SOOOO good dude. I think this is tied with All Falls Down for me. So good. Shout out to Work Out by J. Cole. Also a banger despite stealing from this song and Paula Abdul. Slow Jamz: So agree. Focus on the ladies! Smooth af and the jazzy singing is good. Light skin/dark skin MJ line is so iconic and witty and funny. Twista(?)’s verse is fast and incredible and the chorus is sweeeet. Thank you, Jamie Foxx, for writing Blame It, which has the best verse ever from T-Pain. So good! Breathe In Breathe Out: Feels, like, old school and cool and simply awesome. “Always said if I rapped, I'd say somethin' significant/But now, I'm rapping 'bout money, hoes, and rims again.” His delivery is fucking funny and it’s self-aware and good. PhD pretty huge dick. Fucking funny. Ludacris is good, too. His voice is just so… I don’t know. “Peace ouuuuuut.” It’s almost stoner. School Spirit (Skit 1): Funny. I bet I can add up all the change in your purse very fast. Funny! School Spirit: Actually super good even though I don’t recall it. POOTIE TANG MENTIONED — “Did y’all know he wrote Pootie Tang? Brilliant” God it’s actually crazy that the lunatic tweeting that Nazi racist bullshit and flaunting his naked wife at the Grammys was the same dude who made this objectively awesome music. IN-sane. I wonder what the fuck happened. School Spirit (Skit 2): It’s true. So many fucking degrees. Yeah, I’ll prob be 52 by the time I have a degree, god damn. Lil Jimmy Skit: All the regular homeless people. Funny and true! Two Words: Ok this seems serious. I might need to listen to this more, but it sounds pretty good. Through The Wire: Chiller. I could listen to this on a sunny day after school. This album sounds how the album cover looks. It’s rich and full of sound. And this song sounds like it’s sitting on the curb or a step. Family Business: Feels emotional. Almost makes me wanna cry and this is my first time actually listening to it. Probably because it’s 2 AM. Last Call: Confusing. Why is it 13 mins. But it’s funny. And I’ll listen to it lots again. This album is good. So good.

I only really know Rush because of my favorite movie ever, "I Love You, Man," with Paul Rudd (my bitch) and Jason Segel (also my bitch). They do "Tom Sawyer"! It rocks! Also, shout out to "Waterslide" by the Bonedaddys, which is another GREAT pick from that movie's soundtrack. Also, Pavement's Geddy Lee line -- "What about the voice of Geddy Lee? How did it get so high? I wonder if he speaks like an ordinary guy." "I know him, and he does." "And you're my fact-checkin' cuz." So adorable! And his voice IS very high. Almost comically so. This is a cool album cover and I like Tom Sawyer, so I think I will like this album. And I do -- I found myself thinking "Wow, this is REALLY good" a lot and I do think I'll listen to this album again. Many times, maybe. I don't know how much I like Geddy Lee's ridiculous voice, but it's ok, I think it'll grow on me. Red Barchetta was fire. 4.5 ish?

I have mixed feelings because, on one hand, people are always citing The Fall as a big Pavement inspiration. So I should like it if it’s similar. Then again, the lead singer apparently hates Malkmus and Pavement bc he thinks theyre a rip off of the fall, which is a rather ungraceful and bitter way to respond to people who were inspired by your art. I dont really get this critique anyways — good music is good and requires talent to write even if it’s heavily inspired by other work. Off the bat, his voice is weird and I’m not sure I like it. It’s sorta Sex Pistols. The first and second tracks are pretty solid but this third is sort of weird. Idk its good and i’d prob like it better if I listened more but I really dont know how much I hear the Pavement stuff. Theyre similarish but I guess I dont understand music well enough to hear how EXTREMELY similar theyre supposed to be. The Fall seems less conventional, maybe. Not sure. But solid music thst I should hear more of. Maybe a weak 4 but a 3 to spite the pavement hater.

This is sort of shoe-gazey I feel (even though I can definitely hear his vocals better than in MBV's music) and I do like it. It's sort of cutesy and light and prairie like and friendly to my ears. The first two songs feel especially chilled out and "I Want You" feels ambitious and grand. I like that. As always, I am positively disgusted by the fact that these people are British, but I've learned to be tolerant. This is music for staring out of a car window on a drive across a bridge. This is music that could melt into the background -- in a good way. It's pretty pleasant. Weirdly, the singer's voice reminds me of the Nine Inch Nails dude. Same sound but much less aggressive, obviously. I like how 200 bars was so much counting. It was interesting. I do think it was a nice, chill album that I could study to or listen to casually/on a road trip to get into an introspective mood, but not super remarkable to me. 3.7ish? Strong 3

A-how-how-how-howww! I've listened to Tres Hombres before -- partially because my dad plays it once in a blue moon and partially because it was in some Amoeba "What's in my bag" video (Dave Grohl maybe? Prolly nah. Also shout out to Jason Mantzoukas for putting me on to "Painted Shut" by Hop Along. Very good.) It was good. I'd listen again. I found it much more remarkable than Eliminator (probably because i listened harder).But nice country rock music stuff!

This is very, very good. Like, very silky smooth. Very rainy day music. However, not catchy at all, which is understandable. But it doesn't particularly appeal to me specifically. Like, these songs will definitely go on some playlists but I doubt they'll be a part of my daily rotation even though they are very, very, very good. I think I just tend to like faster paced stuff, which is why Stevie Wonder's Innervisions edges this out for me -- it's more exciting, I guess. Inner City Blues is very good. Mercy Mercy Me has been in my ocassional rotation for quite some time. This is the kind of music that makes you breathe a little deeper and look a little longer at the sky and snap your fingers a little bit. Pretty peak. A strong, strong 4/5?

I was really dragging my feet to listen to this — country music freaks me out because I always get the sneaky, slimy feeling that the singer is secretly in the KKK or something. Luckily, a skim of Cash’s wiki page comes up clean of any controversies so I get to pretend that he’s a good dude (aside from the drug problems but I have more sympathy for that than disgust). Anyways, I was quite pleasantly surprised listening to this! Cash has a low, charming, smooth, cool, remarkable voice. It’s almost sexy but he’s old and dead so not quite. But I feel like he’s speaking to me (the prisoners) as a friend… leaning in and winking at me, sharing a sly grin or whatever. He sputters with laughter in the middle of songs for seemingly no reason, he relates to his audience of prisoners by joking about the wardens and what have you. And the fact that he’s performing in front of 1000-odd prisoners is charming in itself. He approaches them with this soft, friendly humanity. He isn’t condescending, he offers no motivational speech, he’s just there, joking around with them. Which I appreciate. I cringed a little at the fact that a lot of the songs were about being in prison since he never actually served time, but he apparently did quite a few nights for his drug habits and whatever, so I guess he’s qualified enough. And his music is certainly sympathetic, like the 25 mins to go song which actually made me kind of sad (the part about seeing the mountains or whatever) despite being kinda funny. A few of his songs are a little bit funny — the Cocaine Blues was deeply unsettling but also a good chuckle if you ignore the misogyny. I hope it’s ironic! Then there were quite a few songs that were just regular degular country, nonspecific to the setting of Folsom Prison. I liked those too — most songs were pretty short and sweet and catchy which I’ll always appreciate. Over all, an unexpectedly good album! A strong 3 since I’ll probably not listen much in the future, but if I wanna listen to country I know where I’m going.

An unexpected album and uncharted water for me — but it was nice. I don’t think I’d listen again, really, but I did find it charming and I appreciated the message despite it not really being my specific cup of tea. He has a very friendly sort of voice, which I liked. But the songs were a little too long and just not quite my jam — a 2 simply because I wouldn’t listen to it in the future, not because it’s bad.

I know and love this album cover, they're all cramped into that bathtub and it's awfully quaint. I have enjoyed "California Dreamin'" since 3rd grade when our school made us sing it in front of our parents, which is actually sort of confusing because it's not a very cheery song for a bunch of children to be singing. VERY good, though. Like, in my top 100 songs and probably top 3 folk-rock songs ever (for me, at least, with my limited repertoire). I look forward to listening to the whole album through -- I think I have before, but not closely enough to remember anything. Very, very pleasant to listen to, but I'd expect no less. I liked Monday, Monday, which is apparently the group's only Billboard #1 hit, but I hear it much less than California Dreamin', so I don't know. I do think I've heard it before, and it was very nice, but not quite as excellent and iconic as California Dreamin', but I'm sure I'm biased. Straight Shooter was nice and perhaps a little edgier than I'd expect. I mean, it was no punk-rock, but even hearing the word "shoot" was like... ok, what are you shooting? At the end of the day, they're supposedly a counterculture band so I guess they're not supposed to be totally clean, and California Dreamin' is kind of edgy, too... But it was a great song. A highlight, I think. Very cool, city-slicker sorta vibe that could fit well into an action movie soundtrack or whatever. Got a Feelin' was beautiful but not super remarkable. ALL these songs are about to go on my oatmeal playlist, and I'll get to know it better then. I Call Your Name is nice and soulful, very buttoned up and girl/boy or mama/papa next door kinda vibe. Very sweet and just nice to listen to. Do You Wanna Dance has a nice, rhythmic sorta start to it and almost tricks me into thinking it's a song by the Smiths or something with it's sorta melancholy guitar before it eventually becomes another sappy, lovely prom night ballad. That's no critique, though. It's lovely, of course. It's groovy. It's good. Doesn't stand out, but it's hard to do that in such an awesome collection of songs. Go Where You Wanna Go brings a nice grin to my face. It's a nice, gentle ... hedonistic ... ballad? Not totally morally upstanding by the standards of the sixties or by today's: "a girl like me can't love just one man". I mean, good for you, Michelle Phillips. The genius annotations are telling me that she cheated on John Phillips with Denny Doherty. Drama! Kinda fun. And, what I've been waiting for, California Dreamin'. That little riff at the beginning is so great. I don't know what instrument that is... guitar, I guess? But it's addictive. And beautiful. That call and response is, too. And followed up with that solo verse backed up by the rest of the band... just sooooo great. For sorta the first time in the album, he gets a little messy with the vocals. He's desperate, disillusioned, exasperated with the gray skies and the brown leaves. Then there's this great flute solo, I think, which is unique and awesome and I love it. Can't get enough. I love California. Spanish Harlem is nice and a little island-y. Those nice latin instruments really make it just that much better. I don't know how I feel about the lyrics. It's about saving a latina baddie and growing her in your white American garden? I might be too woke -- it's really, really nice. Not my favorite, but certainly a standout. Somebody Groovy is a break from the sentimentality of "Spanish Harlem". Back to that Straight Shooter, maybe Go Where You Wanna Go kinda vibe, which is cool and modern and oh my god I'm liking this little guitar (?) solo a LOT! It's just really great. I hate to say this is a stand-out, too, but I might have to. I wish I was more commonly in the mood for this kind of music. Usually I'm hunting for depressing angry stuff, but this is just dandy! The kind of music that makes me wanna use the word "dandy"! Ok, at this point in the queue, I slipped in "Girls and Boys" by Blur. What can I say? Great song and I suspect that this album will show up at some point in this project. Hot, sexy, whatever. Sooooo good. And he's so aggressively British. Guhls who ah bouys who lyke bouys to be guhls... GOD this song is SO fucking good dude ohhhh my god so glad I put this in. Mamas and the Papas are great, too, but just not in this pulsating clubby way. I need a break from all the sweetness. And we're back to our regularly scheduled programing with Hey Girl, which is also really nice. What's there to be said? "He's only looking to score" or whatever was sorta funny. Off-beat. You, Baby is catchy and has a pleasant refrain going on near the end. Very poppy. Finally, The "In" Crowd is another one of the cooler songs. I don't know why it'd be at the end, but it's really really good, probably my second favorite behind California Dreamin'. It's very smooth and reminds me a little bit of some of the edgier musicals I've listened to. Like, she's doing a little bit of a character, like Gussie from Merrily We Roll Along or Velma from Chicago. A great cap for a great album. I think I have no choice but to give this a 5 -- I expected it to be more middling and uninteresting -- but it wasn't! It was really grand and cool and wonderful and I'll certainly return to it. No skips. Just all awesome.

literally dgaf it's kinda giving me not a lot. Decent but i think im just in a shit mood

ok pretty fire! i feel like i dont listen to much rock made by non white people and this is like a very very excellent album like lowkey i wanna give it a five bc all the sounds are very… creative? and all the songs are just good! idk idk idk i’ll give it 5 bc why not!!! i genuinely rly loved it

I get the gist. The guy is british and offbeat. I don't like his voice. I didn't really enjoy listening to it. This is one of those artists who I'd only ever listen to because of their funny name or cool album art. It was alright. Maybe like a 2.5? Maybe I ought to listen to it more but I honestly do not care to.

I've heard so much about Lou Reed and I've tried to listen to the Velvet Underground a couple times, partly because they're super-important in music history or whatever but also because everyone says it's similar to Pavement/Pavement was heavily inspired by them. I could never really get it into it. I'm already sort of primed to like it. Vicious: I like it, it's pretty good and very rock-n-roll! Sort of reminds me of Sex Pistols. I like how lowkey ridiculous the lyrics are. "Hey, why don't you swallow razorblades? You must think that I'm some kind of gay blade." ok sexually ambiguous king Andy's Chest: I like this less. I don't love his voice tbh sorry. It feels a little poindexter to me for some reason. It got groovier in the middle and at a certain point i was like "ok this is good" Perfect Day: I like this even less. It's boring af. Cute lyrics though. Feeding zoo animals is cute. Hangin' 'Round: Ok this is silly and fun. I love a narrative, like Jenny and the Ess-Dog by SM. This whole album's vibe is very very Rocky Horror to me. The album cover literally looks like a masc-er Frank N Furter lowkey. Walk on the Wild Side: This is about transvestites?? Hookers? Bitch idk but for a song about the Wild Side this is one of the most boring songs I've ever heard. Like it's good sounding generally and I like the lyrics, but .. ??? I like the ad lib bits. "Aalright. Huh" Like Mitch Hedberg tbh luv it. The doo-doo-doos are so forceful and loud and rapid and scary. I don't know if that's the intended effect but I'm lowkey scared for my life rn. I like it? I like the trumpet solo? It's good I'd lissten again but wtf Make Up: I'm always freaked out when a man from this era of history says anything about a little girl, especially a slick... wet... one. Whatever, dude, he's clearly kinda gayish so I'm like wahtever dude. It's kinda weird i kinda like it. It's a little country. I don't understand what the fuck is happening Satellite of Love: There have been too many god damn songs like this in this album. Rocky Horror is diverse. This is the same weird romantic shit that's been happening. I like the flute? Ok weird Idk boring im yawning dude it's sweet it's cute whatver dude Wagon Wheel: Watusi. Wahtever this is literally fucking country music get me the fuck out of here help help help. "Just kick her in the head and rearrange her"? the fuck? Yeah this reminds me of David Bowie a little but literally worse. I like the background singing New York Telephone Conversation: This is so funny dude what??? It's like a childrens rhyme. On purpose i guess? A little will and grace and very much the telephone song from cabaret but less catchy. I'm So Free: thank god finally a riff. Not as good as Paris Hilton's song lowkey but it's pretty good ig. Sounds like hes saying im so freaky which is prolly more apt. i like him saying he's ,other nautres son or whatevet thats cool Goodnight Ladies: Thank god i like this song legit tje best one so far. very speakeasy very chicago very kander and ebb verylaying down on a piano I think It was good but mostly not that fuckign great everyone keeps sucking Lou REed off but idk this was not as great as I thought itw oudlbe mostly just a little boring idk it's ok bc he has a sort of inherent charm maybe 3.4

I've never heard it before now -- i like the name and the cover and i sorta like the music, but it's not exactly my cup of tea? it's very musical theatre, actually, but i did find it boring at times. Overall, I would not be upset to listen to some of the tracks again, but I don't think I'd reach for them.

absolutely insane. very scary. it was alright. i don't think i was in the mood for it.

Thank god, I've been waiting for another banger from this site. Franz Ferdinand is not a favorite band of mine and I've only ever listened to this album, but boy is it good. Obviously, Take Me Out is the hardest hitter and their biggest hit, but every other song is anywhere from just pretty good to REALLY good. It's a no skip album, I think. I will say, I only know like half the song names because I always listen to the whole album all at once without really looking at the titles. However, that does not detract from the listening experience of this album. It's a really cool vibe and it's extremely coherent and just so so good. Take Me Out is lowkey one of the best songs I've ever heard. The tempo change is really something. The riff is awesome. It's so good. Sooooooo good. This Fire is another favorite, it's really just fun and reminds me of Damaged Goods by Gang of Four (which actually this whole album feels similar to). And I like Cheating on You and Darts of Pleasure and Michael and literally all of them. Great album. Maybe like a 4.9 because it's not like I LOVE LOVE LOVE every song but I'll give it a 5 because it's pretty close to that.

good and sort of bright but not totally remarkable to me.

Very good. I thought it was sorta vanilla at first but I am totally willing to listen again and sort of figure out what's going on, especially with the longer tracks and the really popular one. I'll circle back.

I'm mildly familiar with them -- I know ONE song, called Birthday or something and I don't listen much, but I remember this being a group ft. Bjork I think? PS I got into Berkeley today. God I am so happy!!! Anyways, I am not joking when I say this is one of the most unique and awesome sounding albums I've ever heard. it's pretty incredible. Her voice is so unique. I assume this is Bjork -- I've never actually listened to much of her, but she's pretty incredible. It sort of reminds me of the Slits, her sort of uneasy voice, but with a stronger, clearer, more beautiful tone. It is so powerful and yet so vulnerable. These are sounds I may have never heard before. They are so interesting and so perfect. I'm really loving it a lot. This might be an instant 5 for me. Maybe I'm just in a really great mood, but this is genuinely some really good music and the sort of thing that I signed up for 1001 albums for. It's great.

1 hour for 4 songs? Classical jazz? dude.

I fw the Magnetic Fields - I like Andrew in Drag and Your Girlfriend’s Face. I’ve never liked the woman’s voice but it’s ok. They’re quirky and interesting. I like how all the songs are short and sweet and many of them are silly. It’s pleasant, but as with any 69-song long album, some of them are gonna be better than others.

I like this QUITE a lot. I think I should listen to more punk music. It’s just very good and exciting and her voice is so good for this kind of music. Reminds me of the sex pistols but thats just me not knowing much of this kind of music. I liked it a lot though. High 4?

Lowkey didn't listen to all of this -- I'll circle back. But it's pretty good. Every public enemy song sounds lowkey the same to me but none of them sound bad so that's good.

Really obsessed with this song Chocolate Cake... the rest of it is just ok, but pretty good. I did not know that Crowded House did Don't Dream It's Over! That's a great song, too. Very good.

Not this shit again. We already know i was NOT fucking with the last Leonard Cohen album even though it was like fine or whatever. Immediately, this is a lot more upbeat than You Want It Darker (prolly bc he isn't dying here) which is nice! Of course, his voice is still scary as hell but that's ok, I guess. I have to say, this sounds a LOT better than You Want It Darker and some of the songs are kinda catchy -- In particular, I liked Jazz Police. The songs are very 80s, I feel. But the harshness of his voice is still difficult for me to overcome. If it were sung by some generic silky heartthrob I might give this a 3.4 but right now it's like a 2.9.

I liked it!! esp Shake Appeal and a couple others. I wish it were recorded in higher quality but the music itself was very good.

lowkey the same as Folsom Prison but just as good!

top ten chillest funnest albums. I'm enjoying! The vibes r rly good and fun although I have to say it's all meshing together kinda.

Of course, I've heard "Closer" and whatever song Johnny Cash covered. I like NIN, mostly Pretty Hate Machine, which is a pretty good album -- I like Terrible Lie and Sin and lots of the songs off there. I think this album's supposed to be more acclaimed, so I'm excited. Mr. Self Destruct is VERY loud, VERY harsh but I really like it. It's very cool and action-packed. I can't tell how much I like his voice, and his efforts at edginess are obvious and a little cringe-worthy but it's still good music. Closer is a good one. Very cringey but also very good. Which is very much this album. I'll give it a 3.7 bc it's good but not as good as pretty hate machine i think. not THAT good but good

I've put this off for soooo long because this album is such an important piece of music culturally and sort of personally -- it's my dad's favorite album of all time or whatever! I've always been sorta partial to The Bends or In Rainbows, but OK Computer has some really excellent songs as well! Paranoid Android and Exit Music (For a Film) come to mind as some of my own favorites, and Karma Police is good too! But I never listened to this album very intently. Airbag: Sort of feels like if you blended every Radiohead song together and made a nice smoothie out of it. It's very loose and just plain good. I like his vocals on this just as much as the instrumentals, but it's not super remarkable. It's definitely a good opener, though, like it's introducing you to a new world. I like the sound effects (like you're going through a carwash or back in time or something) that make it sound like a nice lasagna. Lots of layers. Paranoid Android: Despite being long, this song is always something I'm willing to put on. It's so interesting and so cool with so many different parts. Like, the sort of rigid "ambition makes you look pretty ugly" part is so different from the slow, sulky, prayer of "rain down, rain down"... it's a very complex song that I'll always go back to. The music video is awesome. Subterranean Homesick Alien: Almost sounds like a Beatles song for a few seconds at the start? This weird psychadelic edge to the... guitar?? What instrument is that? I don't know. But it's nice and slow and interesting. It's sort of delirious and dream-like, or like you're on some farm on another planet? Does this make sense? no. Exit Music (For a Film): Very sad and very effective as a mournful love song. This numb, heartbroken vocal and the war-like(?) background effects succeed in making me really, really sad. I know this was made for the Rome + Juliet movie and it makes lots of sense! It's so tragic and sad and even more moving than the original story to me. That buzzing instrumental picking up with the vocals at the end is very impactful. It's actually crazy. "We are one, in everlasting peace/ We hope that you choke, that you choke" it's crazy oh my god Let Down: This is much brighter, almost like it could be a song from the Disney Channel or some airy breathy girly pop star with a different vocal. I don't know, it's almost a little Vanessa Carlton or Vanessa Hudgens or... something like that. At the same time, it's a little 70's easy-going rock. I like it. It's like a sunrise after genuinely the most hearbreaking night of all time (the last song). Karma Police: And we're back! Sad. One of their more famous songs, for good reason! It's soooo good. The chorus behind "this is what you'll get when you mess with us" is cool. Then the "I lost myself" and the sighing and the moaning sound (idk what to call it) + the static is a really good way to end to song as well. I feel stupid even calling this "good". It transcends good. Fitter Happier: I like this kind of stuff. It's like The Word Hurricane by Air or anything by Headache or We Want Your Soul by Adam Freeland, but eerier. It's spoken word by a computer... Ok, Computer. The sound effects are terrifying. Haunting. It's freaky but it's artful, which I'll always appreciate. Electioneering: It's the wild, wild, west. I hardly hear this sort of down-and-dirty, classic rock-n-roll sound from Radiohead so it's super awesome to hear, especially from the weirdest "song" on the album. But it still has that Radiohead sound to it in a certain way, with Thom's high vocals in the chorus. It's really good. The guitar is really good. Everything is very cool. A-how-how-how-how. Climbing up the Walls: Idrgaf that much like ok it's fine its kewl it's whateva it's emotional and slow and sad but there's nothing thats like WOW but it's lowkey pretty good just not that exciting? For this album, it's not one of the best but like 6.8/10 No Surprises: It's good and iconic, obviously, but I'd hardly ever put this song on. It's sort of like a lullaby. For some reason I'm just not super into it. It's like 7.4 but you have to be an 8 for me to really put you on, you know? But I'll super-listen if it's just on. It's good. Cute. Twinkly. And as I listen to it now, I'm starting to like it more. Hm. Lucky: Been really into the song Lucky by Britney Spears recently, which is lowkey better than this (sorry not sorry). I just don't particularly care about this song that much. It's like middle of the road but it's good. I could cry to this. The Tourist: Beautiful vocals. Not particularly compelling to me. But it's good. It's good to end the album on if you get really absorbed into it. I like that "ding" at the end. I like this album a lot. Almost every song is pretty excellent and innovative and uniquely effective in what it sets out to do. I think of it better now that I've listened to it a bunch. I like The Bends and In Rainbows still, but hm... could rank higher... it's rly good! I get you, Dad.

Pretty fire. I like Money Trees and I was surprised at how much I loved the Backseat Freestyle, which is super catchy. Bitch Dont Kill My Vibe is famous for good reason. The Art of Peer pressure was good social commentary as well as good music. Swimming Pools is currently viral and just super good in general. Kendrick's voice is unique but not like super nice to listen to in a more melodic track like Swimming Pools so I prefer the stupid tiktok covers but it's still a feat. Super good album despite me not really being familiar with rap/Kendrick!

Ooh... sexy! I've lowk never heard of this album OR Paul Simon. But this is delicious so far. This is music I'd listen to in Hawaii. It's a little bit Jack Johnson. It's very '80s which I guess is appropriate. Quick little multiplication lesson in When Numbers Get Serious. Very pretty and easy listening.

it's very charming and has a political commentary and yet it feels very random but the random feels like it means something.. I;ve heard of the mothers of invention before, mostly as they were attacahed to Frank Zappa as well as the "indian of the Group," but I am happy to have listened to the album now! This is what this project is for! To hear culturally significant classics, to hear the great music of the past that I may have heard about but never actually listened to. The albuum is wildly funny, I especially liked Who Needs the Peace Corps as someone who lives next to SF and thinks hippies and that whole wave was pretty silly and funny. I loved Hair! I love SF and hearing "Frisco" is funny. Phony Hippies. Psychadelic dungeons. Crabs. Loving the police whilst getting the shit kicked out of you. Hot-cha! It's hilarious and I almost feel nostalgic for a time I was certainly not alive for. Smokin' an awful lot of dope, psychadelic gleam, bare feet. Dirty and stupid but happy is, I guess, beautifull. Hm. Pow-pow-pow! This album is so creative and interesting... Jimmy Carl Black is the Indian of the Group... but the interludes, the sounds, the talking... the nontraditional song structure. I love it! It's a good piece of history as much as it is a good piece of music. Cop kill a creep! Pow pow pow There's a weird lot of talk about cops beating people up in this album, at least thus far, and I do think/hope that they're on the right side of that issue.. Oinking... Hot poop wow Boy this album sure is wackadoodle But that's the point Take Your Clothes off when you dance is fun and sort of blissful even though I know its satirical it's stilll a little bit cute I think it's your mind... that's very disturbing and Woo its like my brain is melting I'm delirious. Perhaps that's the effect of the album. But I think it's excellent and I see why the Library of Congress liked it too.

Okay. It's fine. I liked Stations to Stations or whatever lots more. The only song I really enjoyed was Fame, but even that wasn't like "wow revolutionary." It was ok. Maybe a high 2.

not as awesome as i thought but respect to bruce’s politics!

If I listen to Joni, I usually listen to Blue, which is easily a 5/5 album for me as well as anyone with ears. But from this album, I've only ever listened to "Just Like This Train," which was recommended to me by my dear step-grandmother Sheryl. I was so obsessed with that song for months and I still listen regularly because it's so beautiful, delicate, and sort of funny. "Watching your hairline recede, my vain darlin'" is always a good line. But I enjoyed this album thoroughly, perhaps not as much because I listened quite passively while browsing Ulta, but I'll give it a solid 4.5 out of 5... I especially liked Court And Spark and Twister. Twister was unusual, I thought, for a Joni song... I haven't listened to her whole discography, but I didn't think of her as particularly jazzy and was surprised to hear other voices featured since I usually consider her songs to be very private confessional type songs, like she's writing poetry in a quaint leather-bound diary. Anyways, It was nice! I like Joni Mitchell despite her sort of spotty track record with... blackface? Well... Ok. It was a great album.

an unexpectedly great album. given this sort of garish cover and the band name, I was pretty certain that it would just be some average 90's band that kinda sucks, but this was awesome! I especially liked "Queer," "Only Happy When It Rains," "Not My Idea," and "Vow," but I will defo listen again. :-)

friendly music but not very catchy or interesting. i understand why it was popular innthe sixties. cute title haha

For this god-awful cover, this better be some really good music. I don't know if I expect serious quality from Tom Petty, who I've always sort of thought of as a corny old rocker, but we'll see since I've never properly listened to an album of his before. Rockin' Around (With You): Good. Short. Hated the fade-out. Breakdown: Here's a famous one! I forgot this was by him! I like the gentle, smooth, hushed beginning. It sounds like he's doing some weird Latin accent. He sounds straight up stupid but that's ok. Nothing beats this chorus! It's classic and catchy and just good. Also shorter than I thought it was. Guitar rocks. Hometown Blues: A little country (maybe that's the vibe it's trying to give.) It's fine. I could listen to this at Knott's berry farm but not otherwise. The Wild One, Forever: idc idc idc well it's nice it's cool this is the kind of music i think is appropriate to play after like a breakup scene in a cheesy soap opera or sitcom Anything That's Rock 'N' Roll: It's fun! I actually like this one a lot despite it lowkey sounding like all of the other songs. Strangered In The Night: Idk. It's good it's fine and I like his vocals in this as well as the instrumental but I'm a little confused about if this is lowkey racist or what Fooled Again: Hilarious vocals. He's lowkey the funniest singer ever but I don't think that's his intention. Anyways it's very good. I like this song a lot. I think it's one of the best on the album. Not as catchy as breakdown but good. Mystery Man: It's fine. I don't care much. It's good. It's fine. Luna: Tom Petty sounds frail and decrepit as fuck and this song is not very interesting or good. It's night time music so it succeeds in that but not much else + I hate fade outs. American Girl: Liking the intro... it's good and stuff but there is no reason that this should be their most successful song or whatever. Not as good as Breakdown... It's cool or whatever.. I Like this refrain with breathing. cool It's a fine album but idgaf prolly wouldn't listen again sorta like the Bruce Springsteen I just don't think it's that good

Never really listened to Eminem even though I did memorize Rap God for attention. PSA: not a real song whatever it's a cool intro My Name Is: Really good, duh. I've heard this one plenty. Guilty Conscience: Sort of unsure about the message here, but it's definitely a unique and interesting song. It's good! Brain Damage: I like how Eminem's songs are so narrative-based sometimes. It's cool. I don't particularly care about this song, though. Skits are interesting. I don't know how popular this practice is in rap since it's really not my genre, but I do remember this being a part of Kanye's "The College Dropout", and I think it's a funny and smart way to break up an album. If I Had: I don't care about this except for the part where he says he's gonna make the world suck his dick without a condom 97 Bonnie n Clyde: good! daughter and father it's cute?? maybe? Bitch: Hm.. Role Model: Interesting commentary on celebrity culture I appreciate it and it sounds good too! Lounge (Skit): aww it's kind of cute actually aww i feel like im with friends My Fault: This is a very funny and catchy song and i like it a lot especially in combination with the skit! Ken Kaniff: This is crazy is this like Scream Cum on Everybody: I like the beat. This is good. Rock Bottom: "Brock as FUCK" ! Whoa! Woe! Good Just Don't Give a F**k: It was good. I dont have much to say about these songs i feel like they're all quite similar idk As the World Turns: Ok why is there so much rape in this album i know it's like probably satire but its too scary bruh although i do think it's funny that a chick in this song is watching gay porn and then gets her nipple sliced off. There's a song by the Lonely Island called "Rocky" that just follows this ridiculous stupid fight where obviously Rocky beats the shit out of Andy Samberg. Eminem songs are kinda like that sometimes. I'm Shady: It's like the same as all the other songs but i like this one more. It's funny. Why are there so many AIDS mentions in this album wtf Bad Meets Evil: what Still Don't Give a F**k: Thank fucking god someone is admitting to be afraid of death wow I will say Get You Mad off the extended version is funny and good anyways none of this is better than My Band by d12 Overall idgaf that much it's good but it's like taco bell everything tastes kinda the same

Never heard of or listened to War before, so I am excited to discover some new music! I like the album cover and the title and am immediately struck by the fact that this album only has 6 songs but somehow adds up to 44 minutes. Makes me sorta nervous. The Cisco Kid: Very good. The man has a pepper grinder voice. Lots of friction. It's good!. Where Was You At: sorta bouncy and flouncy and mostly jaunty i like it. Music for walking down a sunny street in the city and smiling. City, Country, City: It begins with a beautiful duet between .. an organ? and a banjo? and a few bells... It's 13 minutes. OK I've stopped caring much. these songs are too long and not very exciting although I understand they're probably very culturally significant and whatnot.

Trippy cover. Not sure I love it but it's cooool. Fine Time: Synth and drums and lasers, like I'm in a nightclub! All the Way: VERY The Cure. I almost expected a "Show me, show me, show me..." idc abt these songs Guilty partner: I dont like his british voice. Mr Disco is kinda fun.! im liking it probably best song on the record tbh Vanishing POint is cool... I like the dancy smooth music its real nice idk it's fine like a 2.8

despite it being appropriate for the fourth of july i still could not force myswlf to care

Of course, I am aware of and somewhat familiar with ABBA because they're so famous and because of Mamma Mia and because of the crossword (they're pretty frequently featured). However, I hardly listen to the songs I do know by them and I certainly have never listened to a full album by them, so this should be interesting! When I Kissed The Teacher: What a weird song to kick an album off with. First of all, nobody should be kissing their teachers, and even if you wanted to write a song about it, why put it at the start? Very catchy, though, and I appreciate ABBA's style with its chorus of background voices. Very cute. I hate fade-outs. Dancing Queen: Of course, I've heard this one. I don't know why they wouldn't start with THIS song, one with such incredible mass appeal, but that's up to their little Swedish minds. It's iconic for a reason. It's one of the more beautiful songs played at high school dances, with a good, catchy beat and still a sort of emotional vibe. It's always painful when a crowd of teenagers try to collectively hit those high notes, but it's very pretty on its own. It's very much a song that captures the feeling of perfect youth, feeling like you could be the "queen" of something so trivial to adults as dancing, like you could conquer your flesh in such a purely alive way. It's wonderful. My Love, My Life: A very nice, beautiful ballad. A little slow for me, but this would go great in a musical. Dum Dum Diddle: Silly. Knowing Me, Knowing You: One of those songs I know already from Mamma Mia. It's a classic and fun love song. I especially like the "Uh-huh," it's those little touches that make a song really good. Money, Money, Money: Not sure how cohesive this album is, but this song is definitely really good, like it was WRITTEN for musical theatre purposes. It's very Cabaret or Fiddler on the Roof. I didn't know Swedes had issues with money. I thought they were all happy dappy over there. But that's nice. I will say that the "Ah-ha-ah-haaaa" part is done much better in a musical theatre style, this singer isn't quite dramatic enough. It's a little stiff. The key change is freaky. The guitar is good! It's kind of a good rock song. The ending is VERY musical theatre. That's Me: Nu-nu-nuthin'... It's good! Why Did It Have to Be Me? A kind of silly name game with the last song. This is a little bit Country... which is cool. But not really. Tiger: This song is actively annoying me. The screaming high note at the end is not very listenable. I think it's the kind of song I could get used to and maybe even like if I played it over and over... a Stockholm syndrome of a sort? Arrival: I literally could not force myself to gaf about this. It's actually a little creepy. Like I'm being initiated into a cult and this is the music that it's happening with. Fernando: This song is sooo ABBA. It's pretty good! It sounds the same as all of their other songs but it's good. It's like if Alejandro by Lady Gaga was made in the 70's and boring af. Happy Hawaii: Also kind of a weird song to put at the end? Like why ..? I don't know whatever it's fine it's good I'll give this album a 4 because Dancing Queen and Knowing Me Knowing You and Money Money Money are so so fire but I lowkey don't think I'd go back to listen to any of the other songs. Edit: I have somehow become even less ABBA-tolerant in the last month so enjoy a 3.

Well duh this is one of the best albums ever prolly bc Michael Jackson hits are all fire and basically all Michael Jackson songs are hits! It's gonna be at least a 4/5 for Rock With You alone. Also it's so crazy that MJ looked like that wtf Don't Stop Til You Get Enough: Iconic with a really good beat and a nice kick off to the album. It's never been one of my favorite, favorite MJ songs, but it's definitely super catchy and popular for a reason. You can't help but feel groovy when you listen to this song! That falsetto is killer. Rock With You: One of the more perfect songs .. ever? It's really, really good. Its quality cannot be overstated. I love the instrumental on its own but his vocals Workin' Day and Night: These songs I do not know. But this is very good and feels a little less flashy... more down to earth I guess? The little breathing part is good. and the "duh-duh-duh!"with the guitar(?) Catchy. Get On The Floor: Good bass(?) riff. Ok well you know what I'm done reviewing the individual songs here but they're definitely all really good. I'd say my favorites were Don't Stop Til You Get Enough, Rock With You, Workin' Day and Night, Girlfriend, and maybe... Idk they were all good. I'd say this is a high 4 but it's not exactly the kind of thing I'd turn on for a casual listen so it doesn't really get a 5 even though it's definitely 5-worthy... !

a lovely little country album with a little jazzy, Sinatra, Christmas standard warmth to it. :-)

Really good, sort of dark, downbeat sort of rap album. I can see why this won a Grammy (Good for Lauryn Hill!). I didn't know Wyclef whatshisface was in here since I only knew him from Hips Don't Lie, but I guess he does serious stuff too. I knew some songs from this album already, like Killing Me Softly With His Song, Fu-Gee-La, and maybe even Ready or Not. All the songs were great! How Many Mics is cool and catchy. Contraire, mon frere!... I wear sunglasses at night... They sound a little villainous. Lauryn saying "many, many, many," especially, is sort of Disney villain. Zealots. I liked the "somebody's watching meee!" bruh idk it was good I liked the restaurant skit. It's funny. It's stupid. LMAO "I'm gonna show you deez nuts." im gonna cry holy shit Killing Me Softly is SO good soOOOOOO fire Love this album HIGH 4.

classic! while i do think each sex pistols song sounds more or less the same, I also think they're really good. I don't quite know if it's... politically correct? to like them considering the Sid Vicious murder situation, but I don't believe he's even the real vocalist on this album anyways so whatever. But it definitely channels a certain unbridled, childish rage that I enjoy listening to while also being pretty catchy. Holidays in the Sun: OVah the Buhlin wall it's so silly great iconic opener Bodies: Just had an abooOOrshun! No Feelings: What can I even say. These first three songs could all be the same song. I do appreciate the sort of hedonistic stupidity in this song, which I guess I sort of identify with as a teenager. Liar: This was one of my favorite songs for quite a while, I think it has some really good wacky vocals. SusPEEEEENshuuuun... yer a LIAUHHHHH. Problems: Pretty similar to liar with the drawn out proooooblummmmm ... the problem is YOU! its fun. its spunky God Save the Queen: One of their biggest hits but weirdly I think it's a little more boring than the other songs. We mean it, man! I like. Seventeen: I AM a lazy sod, so I do love this song. the little guitar + drum bit in the middle is very good. prob liked this a little better before i turned 18, but still really good. LazuuuuuuuuyeugHHHH.... beep beep beep beep! Anarchy in the U.K.: According to apple music, this is their most popular song, and for good reason! Keeps that charming ... not petulant.. I'll call it a youthful attitude, while also having something to say about politics, something to cement the philosophy of the band. And of course, their methodology is not precise and it doesn't seem to be thought out (I dont know what I want but i know how to get it!)... but it's really good. Love how he rolls his R's. Submission: I think this is a more classic rock feel, which I do appreciate. Pretty Vacant: His voice sort of annoys me in this one because he's somehow more british and nasally than in the other ones. The riff here's good. New York: Arguably my favorite song by them, but also they're all pretty good. I haven't listened to the New York Dolls very seriously, but I know they were apparently beefing for one reason or another. Anyway, I think hopping on the mic to call them a bunch of cigs and then reference their song is pretty funny. "Seal it with a ki-usssss," the stupid American accent kills me. "And kiss this... playboyyy!" is always funny too. They're so immature and so stupid it's so good. Guitar's good here too. EMI: the Sex Pistols r hateful af because here they are with the SECOND diss track on this album (not counting diss tracks against .. humanity and the united kingdom), against EMI! It's really catchy really good. Ends the album with a raspberry. good. Overall, very fun album and I'd give it a 4.5 for music but I'll round it because I just like em.

I enjoyed this album a little bit but I'm not really huge on the Bee Gees or this sappy, sentimental, slow music. I enjoyed How Do You Mend a Broken Heart and I guess I liked Israel and the chorus (?) of Don't Wanna Live Inside Myself but none of this is the kind of stuff I'd listen to outside of this challenge. I enjoy More Than a Woman and Stayin Alive but all the songs in this album were just a little boring to me. I'd give it a 3 but I really don't care for it personally. It's just a little melodramatic and he is not quite the loveliest singer ever.

I don't listen to much jazz and I def have never heard of Mingus or this album. It's a cute album cover and I like the poem line. Track A: The weird t-t-t-t- sound at the beginning is a little aggressive to me. But that's ok because it soon falls into this mix of nice, full music. B: I enjoyed this because at the beginning it sounded like a beautiful duet but then became this exciting chaos! C: It was fine. I didn't care so much. D: I think this was the best. I really liked the sort of Latin sound at the beginning. But it's way too long. I don't have the attention span for this sort of album. I don't like jazz that much and I definitely like when songs have people singing. So even though I did enjoy listening to this music plenty of the time and I'm sure it's really great for a lot of people, I'd probably never reach for it the same way I've only ever reached for that album from the Bill Evans Trio a couple of times.

great album loved it love listening to it during minecraft

i hate to say it but I really do not care for the Bee Gees. it's awfully boring music to me. I will be giving it a 1 like the other one I listened to. God stop it

I've definitely tried to listen to the White Stripes before, but I didn't really like them. I really don't like that one that's like "i can tell that we are gonna be friends," but I like Seven Nation Army. So I could enjoy this album! Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground: This is really nice. I like how it sounds sort of like classic rock. Hotel Yorba: I just am not quite sure if I like the singer's voice much. It's definitely distinctive and kind of cool or interesting, but it's almost a little twangy and weak and I don't LOVE it. Why is he saying "deez" dafawk I like this song enough though. I'm Finding It Harder to be a Gentleman: I like this song lots. I think it sounds really cool. And I think his voice goes sort of well with it. I like this guitar riff. It's sorta Pixies? It's sorta Franz Ferdinand? Fell In Love With a Girl: I feel like I've heard this one before. I think it's real cool but his voice DOES annoy me "he don't cunsider it cheetin, nah" dude there's NO way he sounds like this it comes off totally insincere Expecting: Cool riff. It's a nice change of pace from the previous, faster songs. Little Room: Wow this guy annoys me. Maybe it's an acquired taste. This song, if you can call it that, is not good nor is it particularly interesting. Whatever. The Union Forever: Really cool, gothic sort of sound. Reminded me of Ruby Gloom or something. The Same Boy You've Always Known: I do not care for this but it's still good. I like the guitar-heavier parts. We're Going to Be Friends: bruh idk it's fine but it's not good i mean i get why people like it because it's sentimental and sweet but i personallty dgaf like whatever. Offend in Every Way; I like this riff too but it's not the best song i've ever heard. I Think I Smell a Rat: Even though I like silly songs with silly names, I do not like this. it's very Disney channel. I don't like it. Then some songs apparently forgettable enough to not remember listening to. Now Mary: I don't know. The vocal is never interestign, but the guitar always is. I Can Learn: Its almost a little bit weezer? im literally going crazy This Protector: Whatever dude I do not care too much piano shut up i hate white people never give a white couple a piano ever Okay you know what I'm hearing him talk and he literally has like a cool hot voice so why is he doing this weird shit? I dont know This is a pretty good album but it's just a little upsetting or boring sometimes so i feel like it's a solid umm 3.6

I've never really been super into the Beatles, but I do think Paul McCartney is adorkable and Wonderful Christmastime is one of my very favorite Christmas songs, so I am hopeful that this will be good (or at least tolerable). Band on the Run: Very nice! I like the little ... laser sound? Damn I really have to learn what instruments sound like because I suck oh wow is that flute?? ooh it's cool rock!!! This is a really nice rock song although the sound confused me at first. Love it! Jet: Feels very greasers-kinda cool and i especially enjoy the vocals here Bluebird: Different than Blackbird! Appropriately, it is happier and nicer. I like the little... rattle or whatever its called like the background instruments love it very islandy Mrs. Vanderbilt: This is really interesting. Is this Paul singing? He sounds very American. This song sounds A LOT like some other song but I can't remember which one. Maybe A chinese one? Let Me Roll It: Really really cool guitar at the beginning. Nice and crunchy! I obviously thought this song was about weed but apparently not. I like the vocals on this a lot, too, and it's much more western/american than I thought it'd be. Mamunia: Sort of a turn from the last track, but I like it enough. It's sort of like ABBA or something where it's nice but not something I'd listen to. Like the little talking bit. Sweet. But too long. No Words: Just fine. Picasso's Last Words (Drink to Me): I'm confused by this song and I'm even more confused that it was made/sang by a brit. I like the ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh part but I think it's a little long. Good though! Kinda funny. Campfire love Nineteen Hundred and Eighty FIve: The start bit sounds a little like Money, Money, Money by ABBA. This vocalist certainly is not McCartney because that's a very American twang. Super duper groovy I love the fitful screaming LOVE it really good Okay I don't need all the deluxe stuff but that was such a great album maybe a 4.52. Super good and better than most of the stuff I've heard from the Beatles, if that's not heathenous to say!

Okay I get it but i dont love it

Enjoyed this album a little more than the other jazz ones ive listened to so far because it had some pretty nice vocals! still, 39 mins for 6 songs is a lot. Enjoyable! 3.75

Good and I see why people like it. Similar to the Sex Pistols or something, it is rather monotonously excited and screamy. However, I don't care much for it. I'd be interested to listen to more of her work, though, since I don't know if I invested enough time in this and I know she is a real icon.

This is weird and I've never seen or heard of it before. It's done by someone from Can, though, which is Stephen Malkmus' favorite band! So this should be cool! I'm reading this wiki page and it seems to be sort of niche and avant garde. We'll see. Cool in the Pool: Quite a lot groovier than I thought it would be, since it was described as "avant garde". This is a lot of fun, sort of trippy... but it's especially fun because he's got such a remarkable German accent. I don't usually think of Germans as the type to make goofy songs like this. The sort of chaos at the end, with the sampling(?) and high voices and whatnot is also a lot of fun. I actually like it a lot. Oh Lord, Give Us More Money: Lovely and sort of romantic beginning, like what I'd expect to hear if I were in some hot, humid, Middle Eastern suite. Definitely a bit of a step up from the simple groove of Cool in the Pool. I feel that I sort of hear Stephen Malkmus a bit here, especially his solo work (Face the Truth could definitely have borrowed a bit from here, and I LOVE that album). It becomes less rhythmic and more spontaneous and sorta unpredictable over time. It's still interesting, though. I like it when it picks up and becomes a little quicker near the end. The vocals were cool. Sort of ambient music to do work to, not so much for intense listening. Persian Love: Doesn't sound like English to me, but maybe a sample of some South Asian or Middle Eastern clip? Maybe farsi since it's called Persian love. Sort of nice music to listen to if I were on an island or basking in the sun. Hard to believe this is the same album as the first song. Hollywood Symphony: This is more what I'd expected from the album. A little freaky. QUITE freaky. I I I I I I feel so beautiful now! I kinda like it though. All in all, a pretty cool album. I'll give it a good 4.3. Love Stephen Malkmus and see the influence.

Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath... Is this the one with Black Sabbath on it? Black Sabbath: Indeed, this is the album with Black Sabbath on it. Black Sabbath on Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath. This is really crazy! The guitar is so slow and gothic and melodramatic. The vocals are similarly intense. The tortured pleading really makes it feel like I'm listening to the top 40s in Hell. Then it speeds up and there's a bit of a guitar solo. Pretty cool. Pretty spooky mormon hell dream. The Wizard: This is a little more rock n roll and a little less oops-stumbled-into-a-vampire's-lair. Is that harmonica? Like the cowbell. Like the vocals. Pretty solid. Wasp/Behind the Wall of Sleep/Bassically/N.I.B: Confused as to why this song has 4 different titles. I like Bassically the best. Anyways, the song itself does have a couple different vibes. Ozzy's vocals are remarkable and sort of perfect for this kind of music. The guitar is very cool. "My name is Lucifer, please take my hand," is a fun line. Wicked World: Really solid wow nice A Bit of Finger/Sleeping Village/Warning: Another song that's WAY too long with way too many names. I guess that's the point. Like, every song title is probably an act of the song. But it's a lot for me. Very unique. And it's very good rock n roll. I wish they were separated into different songs. Gets into a good groove. Edit: Dude, he died 2 days after this review. RIP Ozzie hope I didn't have anything karmically to do with your death

I enjoyed it! All the songs sounded more or less the same but Highway to Hell is really good and so are all the other songs love it! ACDC is cool and I like Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap I'll give it a nice 4

Very sex pistols.

Pretty good and she has a very immpressive voice at times however this album is about 30 minutes too long not overly catchy but similar to Garbage by Garbage in my mind

Nice reggae. Not my absolute favorite but very nice to listen to and seemingly political though ill have to listen more! 3.7

Nice feel good music, very upbeat! I dont know that it super pulled me in ir felt super revolutionary to me but it was def a pleasant listen. Groovy. 3.4

They did a Glee episode AND a whole Broadway musical about this album so it must be really good. I've definitely enjoyed some of the tracks from this album, I especially like Hand in my Pocket. All I Really Want: She is soooo angsty and angry and I love her voice. The silence bit is really fun. You Oughta Know: I knew this song existed for a long time and I knew the chorus but then it blew up on Tiktok and I was like, "woah!" I didn't know the intro to the song was so... intimate. It really feels like a direct attack on ME which is crazy. It's a great song. Very emotional but not in a mushy way. Kinda like Deja Vu by Olivia Rodrigo if she had balls. Perfect: A short, soft change in pace from anger to vulnerability. Definitely gifted kid burnout song love it Hand In my Pocket: Just really nice and feel good and indifferent. Sort of like 4 Non Blondes to me. I love her voice. Very unique. Right Through You: She sees right through them. Good song! Forgiven: A sweet blend of rage and softness. I like the refrains. You Learn: Definitely heard this one. Pretty good but not something I’d turn on for fun. Head over Feet: Like this! Love song with a little bit of edge and almost Irish sound (wtf?) Ironic: Better than Bo Burnham’s song about Irony (even though that one’s really funny) because this one is both witty and a genuinely great song. Not the Doctor: These songs are all quite similar although I like them all! Good song. I’m not the doctor! Stop trying to make me solve your problems! She has great lyrics. They’re a little acerbic but super relatable. Very funny. Wake Up: Good end to the album. !!!! Overall, a teensy bit repetitive but REALLY good definitely and i understand why it's so iconic and well loved. I'd give this a 4.5 for like the actual music but it's got a certain grit and charm that's gonna bump it up. Rock n roll! Edit: Maybe I was in too good a mood here -- I'm giving it a 4. The slower tracks don't work well enough for me, but I still LOVE You Oughta Know and Hand in my Pocket.

Off the bat, I like the name of the album, the cover. Already a cool vibe. Great music that's nice to listen to but also has a very direct, well-stated message for listeners. "The moral of the story is, you better look very hard at who you're steppin' to, 'cause you might get killed or shot and it's not worth it. Africans need to be lovin' each other and unite." Wow not only is it politically good but it sounds great too!

I like Sonic Youth in a sort of pedestrian way -- LOVE Incinerate, probably my favorite song of all time. I've listened to Rather Ripped in full several times and I like a lot of the songs on it. I've listened to Goo too, and I love Kool Thing and Tunic. I listened to the Burning Spear and Kill Yr Idols (?) so I've even listened to their sorta darker stuff. Then there are miscellaneous songs I like, mostly hits -- Bull In the Heather, Purr, 100%, Schizophrenia, Shaking Hell, etc. etc. But I've never listened to Daydream Nation in full, so I'm excited. I've always liked the cover. Teen Age Riot: I think this was the first Sonic Youth song I listened to. It was their biggest hit according to Apple Music at the time, so I went for it first, naturally. I remember thinking, "wow, this is so long" and "wow, how long do they just say 'spirit desire' for?" And I went to school and played it for Maya and we both scrunched up our faces, but in retrospect, I'm not sure why. It's such an agreeably good song, which I guess is a little rare for Sonic Youth. It's smooth and fast and sort of reminds me of Panic Switch by the Silversun Pickups (another song I love). Very quick and sort of catchy but still feels like something real. Or maybe Everlong. It's just a really nice song. Sort of captures that dazed, youthful enjoyment of a rebellious evening or whatever. Great song (duh). Silver Rocket: Like it a lot. I used to always say that I liked music that "chased something" and this (as well as Teen Age Riot) feels like that. I'll say I don't like his voice as much on this song for some reason. But still great. The Sprawl: At the beginning, her cadence and attitude remind me a lot of Stephen Malkmus, especially in Conduit for Sale! (awesome song off Slanted and Enchanted) but as it goes on it definitely gets more Sonic Youthy. Very long and hazy and almost ritualistically repetitive. Sometimes their songs sound like seances to me. This seems like it's maybe about drugs(?) or something which reminds me of one of my favorite Sonic Youth songs, I Love You Mary Jane (ft. Cypress Hill) where she also does lots of repeating. Then its length and how it gets progressively less musical remind me of that one twenty-ish minute song they have, Diamond Sea or whatever. I don't love when they do this because I can't really tell if it has a point but it's not bad. Cross the Breeze: Starting with a more melodic and sentimental tune than I'm used to from Sonic Youth, but then going quite quickly to their classic dissonance again. Then it gets nice and quick, sort of reminding me of Electioneering by Radiohead. Now it's even cooler because they've got this nice sinuous riff! Wow I sure am ridiculous with the way I'm describing music today. I love it so far. Kim's vocals are shouty and reckless, careless. Raw. Love it. Ends similarly to other songs. These songs are all quite long but it's a real experience. Eric's Trip: My head's on straight, my girlfriend's beautiful! That's the dream. One of the more positive Sonic Youth songs but then it's a trip, I guess. For Sonic Youth, it's a pretty short and sweet song. Very cool and psychedelic and dream-like. Total Trash: I'm enjoying this more lighthearted stuff. Magic monkey friend! Nevermind, not seeming very lighthearted and Curious George-y anymore. Seeming scary with this pulsating, chaotic instrumental near the end -- I really like it. Better than their usual endings. This is very exciting, feels like it's creating some world full of havoc. Hey Joni: I like this quite a lot too. Very fast and has that dissonance/discord wedged between verses, which I prefer to like, straight minutes of it at the end. Still manages to have a nice, sort of whimsical melody going on. She's a beautiful metal jukebox! I like songs by indie rock artists because the more cryptic lyrics make you think but also sort of allow you not to. Kick it! Super cool. More rocky-rolly than most of their songs. Still really intense and cool with that Sonic Youth edge, though. Providence: I like interludes like this where they do weird spoken word and stuff. I like this. Still somehow quite musical and short enough for me not to be annoyed with it. I'd like to figure out how this is supposed to add to the narrative of this album. It reminds me of the voicemails a bit from Rent. Kinda can't believe this was one of their singles though. Candle: Wow, like in the album cover! Not sure I'm loving these vocals. I'm a little iffy on Thurston Moore sometimes. No, they're good. I like the little riffs and stuff, nice and lilty. Stupid mouth! I feel like this song actually gets better at the end. It's cool. I like that he's talking to a candle. He's a little Stephen Malkmus, too, actually. I hear they inspired Pavement, too, so that's cool. Rain King: Can we get Kim again? This is a pretty cool, disorienting song. Then I like this drum part. Kissability: Thank god it's Kim again! I love her harshness. I think the lyrics are good and the weird, unsettling instrumental is super cool. Really quick, intense guitar and then that recess of calm. I love her voice. So desperate and so real. Trilogy a) The Wonder: Did I already hear this song or something? Oh, no, I like this. Wondertown. Sort of groovy even if it's not meant to be. Trilogy b) Hyperstation: Also sort of dreamlike, kind of downbeat. I come from female imagination. I really admire their poetry. Daydream Nation -- that's the name of the album! The album definitely feels sort of daydreamy. Like the tension in the guitar and the drums and whatever. Makes me a little uneasy, but I think that's the point. Trilogy c) Eliminator Jr.: Oh this is so cool. Kim Gordon is so hot and so angry and so awesome. Fuck I love her. This sort of young scrappy punky valley girl thing is really hot and really cool. Eliminator Jr. is right. Sounds like a fight. Industrious and harsh and badass and it sounds great. A great album. Like, a 9.5/10. If I had a complaint, it'd be that the songs are a little long, but it's totally an experience and I love it. I like Sonic Youth so much and this is a GREAT album from them, tied with (or maybe better) than Rather Ripped. So cool.

Not excited to listen to Blondie because lowkey every time I've tried to listen to anything not-Call Me, I've disliked it. But I'm open. Love Debbie Harry as a bi-con and general girl icon. I like this album cover. Hanging on the Telephone: Pretty groovy rock n roll, actually. I like it much more than I'd thought. Cool guitar and I think Harry's vocals are pretty cool. And a cool ending as well. One Way or Another: Had NO idea this was a Blondie song. Isn't this Pat Benatar? I like it, obviously. Classic. The instrumentals are a little more lethargic and spongy than I thought but Harry makes up for it with stabbing vocals. Wow, cool guitar in the middle here that I had no idea even existed. Picture This: A little tamer than the last two songs, kinda ABBA and I don't dislike it. Not the bestest song I've ever heard but it's not bad by any means. I think it's nice and sentimental. Just not my style. Fade Away and Radiate: Very interesting beginning. Very alieny. I like it. Then it gets sorta boring again. Fade out. Yuck. Alright song. Pretty Baby: Also reminds me of ABBA. Nice and sweet but I don't love it that much. It's fine. I Know but I Don't Know: Haha, this is fun. Almost gives me a little Le Tigre at the beginning with that spoken stuff. Nice riff. Liking it. 11:59: Also happens to be the time that I turn in every single assignment ever. #Relatable! An alright song. Anything Will Happen: Alright. I think it's pretty okay but I had to go back and relisten because it really didn't grab me. It's pretty good. Sunday Girl: Aw, this is sweet. A pretty sweet band. American idealism (she sounds British, a little bit, though)! Very, very sweet. Heart of Glass: I've always found this song a little eerie and not-that-good-for-how-popular-it-is. I don't like her vocals or the pacing and I'm not huge on the lasery sound but it has some catchy party and I like the tktktktktk staccato at the beginning. It's alright but not really worth being one of their most popular songs. I'm Gonna Love You Too: I think this is a pretty charming and nicely fast paced song. I think this is one of the better songs on the album. Just Go Away: Whatever. I like the little gargly voice she doesn on "Go away!" kinda funny. Guitar and voice is kinda beautiful. Man, I just don't think this is particularly exciting or well produced or whatever. I think "cool rhymes with fool" is one of the lamer lyrics to be written by any rock band ever. I would have much preferred the last song as an ending than this one. Short n sweet album here! Blondies are quite short and quite sweet so it makes sense. I like it. I don't love it. I think I might listen to Hanging on the Telephone, One Way or Another, I know but I Don't Know, Sunday Girl, and I'm Gonna Love You Too a little more but none of them are mind-blowing. Solid 3, maybe even a weak 4 -- 3.67?? I like it. God bless Debbie Harry. Still a cool album cover and a fun band, I guess, just a little bland for me.

Well, weirdly this album isn't on apple music so I've assembled a hodgepodge playlist that's missing a few songs. He's a very charming singer. He's got a nice, full, jolly sort of voice that endears me to him upon his first note. He's got a really fun name, too. This reminds me of Christmas as all happy standard oldies do. Which just makes me immediately happy :-) It is really damn sweet. I wish I had the whole album. It really just lifts the mood. I wanna dance even though it's 2 am and I'm stressed out of my mind about classes! He's got a very sympathetic voice. I didn't do anything to him, but in So Long I'm feeling pretty bad for what I didn't do. Reeling and Rocking is pretty peak. Might be my favorite so far for all the musical stuff in the background even though all the songs have been quite pleasant. Poor, Poor Me is sooooo me. Great album (as much as I heard of it). Solid 4! Lovely!

I listened to this quite a bit when I visited Seattle for my journalism trip. It's a great, moody album. It's sort of dark and a little scary and downbeat and I like that. This is one of the better rock vocalists, I think. He has a really nice style but he's also lowkey just a good singer. I never thought of myself as much of a Soundgarden girl, but I was surprised to find that I knew how a lot of these songs went. "Black Hole Sun" is obviously their big hit, but I've also listened to "The Day I Tried to Live" plenty of times. It reminds me of Alice in Chains with the vocals and I guess they're both grunge bands so it makes sense. Let Me Drown: I remember this song, I guess from my time starting this whole album in Seattle. It's definitely a lively start to the album. A little repetitive but it's alright. My Wave: I really like Chris Cornell's vocals. So powerful but clean but not too clean. It's nice. It's very strong but then it becomes almost relaxed in the chorus. Also a nice song. Fell On Black Days: Gloomy, brooding. It's still engaging, though, still splashy and I really like this wobbly guitar stuff going on. Mailman: I really like this falsetto he's doing. Sorta catchy! I really like it. Superunknown: Kinda classic rock riff at the beginning here. Kinda reminds me of, like, ZZ Top for some reason. Or Amyl and the Sniffers. Obviously not similar to either but great sound. The little bit of echo on his voice makes it sound like he's yelling in a canyon or something. Lots of layers of instrumentation here and I love it! He does more melodic or vocally beautiful screaming than other rock bands. Definitely a good title track. Head Down: More intricate sort of beginning here. The clapping(?) almost reminds me of flamenco or something. Sort of hazy and exotic and his voice is much shyer here. Cool, atmospheric track. I don't love the ending. Black Hole Sun: Hit alert! There's a reason why this song is so popular. It's because it's awesome. It's acceptance, it's waking up in the morning knowing the day's gonna suck, it's bittersweet, it's beautiful but it's lethargic and it's just a great song. Spoonman: Funny name. Don't know what it's about. But it still rocks! Limo Wreck: Calmer, almost prayer-like. It's a good change of pace from hard rock. Oh, we're back! This record is a little monotonous but then again, so are most. It's still very enjoyable. A little long, though -- 15 tracks! Gee! The Day I Tried To Live: I don't know why, but I've always just liked this song. That high pitched guitar and his screaming, such a desperate plea for life. It's really awesome to listen to. Kickstand: Quick! Very rock n roll. Short n sweet. Reminds me of QOTSA's Six Shooter. Just this little tune, harsher than the rest of the album. It's driving music. Fresh Tendrils: Really good. Toxic. Got a nice, grand sound. Aggressive but also has a nice electric riff at the end. 4th of July: It's somber, it's slow, it's tired, it's jaded. I heard it in the wind, I saw it in the sky, I thought it was the end, I thought it was the 4th of July --maybe it's about false hope? disappointment? It's sort of haunting. The end is cool. Half: Plucky! Almost folksy! Definitely different from the rest thus far. Exotic and kinda global? Sounds like a whole different band made it. Very dream-like at the end, like seeing an oasis in the desert or staring up at the beating sun through closed eyelids. Like Suicide: Continuing with the sound from Half with sort of tribal drums. This is just so good. It's smooth and kinda sexy and his vocals stay awesome. Great end to a great album. I think this is a strong 4 light 5. Like, really awesome now that I've listened to the full thing.

A musician I've never listened to but know the name of because Sue Sylvester name-dropped her once in Glee. I know she's a lesbian and that's about it. Save Me: Immediately a much more beautiful, smooth, girlish voice than I thought she'd have. It's like a waterfall of voice. A voice I'd like to live in for a while. A voice I'd lay down near and let wash over me. The Mind of Love: So far, this album is living up to its name. With all its pleas for help and saving, she's very much a damsel. It's a lilty sort of music that lends itself to this narrative. At the same time, it's sort of beachy and tropical. She's a really wonderful vocalist, like a Joni Mitchell or something. Miss Chatelaine: This one's more upbeat, a little bit country. But it's also a little bit Italian or American standard, like I could listen to it in a gondola or in a Broadway Show written by Cole Porter. She's got a real classic voice. It's so beautiful and it even suits this more glamorous style. Wash Me Clean: This is almost too beautiful to take in. Wow, it's really just nice. Perfect, even. For what it is. I don't love slow stuff like this, but if I'm in the mood for it, it's wonderful. It's just so simple and real and tactile. Music I could reach out and touch. So It Shall Be: Reminding me of Janis Ian, who is also a moody lesbian I think. Beautiful like a sunrise or something. So grand with such a great flourish but it's not tacky whatsoever. Still Thrives This Love: She's very European mistress in this one. It's like music from a tenement or some Spanish/French/Russian? alleyway. It's a little tragic. Ooh, tension in the strings. Music to dance the calypso to. Season of Hollow Soul: A little bit suspicious. It's got a jazzy twist. The little details are really nice, the breathing and the sweeping noise. Wow, it's just so great. And then it releases into this grand, almost Christmas-y bit. God, it's so great. Gets a little ABBA at the end which I'm never really in love with, but okay. Outside Myself: I don't like this quite as much as the other songs, but I think I'm just a little tired right now. It's definitely still beautiful. Tears of Love's Recall: It's just so royal. It's like looking through a stained glass mirror. Constant Craving: Okay, I've heard this is her big hit and I can tell it's a little faster and more upbeat. You know, I think I've heard this before. God, it sure is beautiful. That "ah-haaaa!" It's just so good. Fade out pissing me off but overall, a great ending to yet another great album. Really glad I listened to this! This is the kind of music that I'd just never go out of my way to listen to usually. But it was so breathtaking. I find most music like this a little boring, especially in long stretches of time, but this mostly escapes that. Still, this is sort of the kind of music I listen to at special times, so I don't know how often this'll be in my rotation, but this is an EASY 4 and maybe even a 5.

Never heard of this group or album. Patriotism! Luv N' Haight: Two of my favorite things, which are the adorable misspelling of love as "luv" and SF Hippie culture. The Haight is a little wacky but I like perusing Amoeba Records when I get the chance. It's a nice, warm, funky sound so far. No intelligible lyrics but that's okay I'm sure they're saying something cool. Just Like a Baby: Wow, a really wonderful plucky instrumental here at the beginning. Very nice, very cozy. These songs are sort of blending into mush at the end. Maybe that's how funk is? I've never really listened to a funk album, I guess. This seems like mostly moaning and riffing and whatnot. Which is cool but not blowing my mind. Poet: This is sort of Mariokart music or something. Idk. Family Affair: I like how this is vocals-forward. The instrumental is nice and calm, too. I like the Ha-HAAAA-how! I like the female and male voices. Africa Talks To You ("The Asphalt Jungle"): It's fine, I guess. Really long and a little boring. Definitely not made for me. I don't think Africa has much to say to a random wasian chick from the Bay Area, but I can see why this'd be valuable for other people. The instrumentation is cool, I guess. There's a Riot Goin' On: You know, I gotta ask why the title track is 3 seconds of silence. A little underwhelming, but maybe there's some reason to it. Brave & Strong: Pretty groovy. Similar to the other songs. Just nice. (You Caught Me) Smilin': Easily my favorite song thus far. Very sweet, positive. Beautiful, endearing music. Love it. Time: Kinda boring. Don't care much for it. Spaced Cowboy: Lives up to its name! Very silly. Good energy. Flouncy, groovy little track. I can imagine the cowboy with all that yodeling and hollering. Wow, if you read these lyrics they're kinda crazy. Runnin' Away: Very nice and light, like a lovely little slice of cake. The hee hee hee is a little creepy and Elfontheshelf for my tastes but whatever. It's still pretty nice :-) Thank You for Talkin' to Me, Africa: Well, this sure is an interesting little album. A very affectionate and cute title here. I like it. It's a seven minute song, though, and that's the kind of length that I can only allow from a remarkably good song (not really. But this is so repetitive that it's actually kinda pissing me off). It's very psychedelic and I guess this group was pretty influential in the hippie era. I like hippies, 60s counterculture as a vibe and a part of history (not that I've ever done real research on it for myself, but I'm just sort of distantly and maybe musically into it) but that's what makes it really appalling that I've never heard of this band. According to Apple Music, they were one of a handful of black performers at Woodstock which is a cool piece of history. Apparently they were quite political but I haven't really been locked in or astute enough to digest the politics in this music, so maybe I'll look into that later. Thank you for lettin' me be myself again is really sweet, I guess if they're talking about getting to express themselves in a less eurocentric way. cool. I just don't love that this album is essentially them repeating stuff and repeating beats. As an album, i'd say this was pretty cool, pretty nice to listen to most of the time. I was never like "this sucks!" although I don't think that much about music. There were definitely lulls, times where it felt like there was too much plain instrumental, but that's more a personal preference thing since I didn't think the rest of the song was quite good enough to make up for it. It was good, though. I especially liked the more typically catchy/pleasant and accessible songs, like Caught me smilin' and Spaced Cowboy and Runnin' Away. Anyways, maybe I'll give this group another listen or at least listen to some more black counterculture music since I know hippies were a pretty white, privileged group. I'd like to familiarize myself with other stuff, I guess. I could see this as a 4 but right now it's a 3.6.

Never heard of this at all. I thought it might be some hard rock but upon further inspection, it's probably some KMFDM predecessor industrial German electronic band sort of thing, which is good because I really like the song Megalomaniac. Maybe I'll like this, too! Short and sweet, too, which I like. The Robots: "We are the robots" from a bunch of roboGerman guys is fun. It's a little narrative and interesting for that reason. Very simple, I guess, and I like that, too! I find it pretty productive to do work to since it's so simple and repetitive. Very vibey. A little dystopian but this is seeming to be the point. Spacelab: I think I get the gist of this album. Is it gonna be 40 minutes of repeating one word and one beat per song? I dunno. Thats not even necessarily a bad thing; I think that it's nice to do work to and it's also just nice to listen to. certainly not as hardcore industrial as I thought they'd be thus far. Metropolis: Yes, I'm getting the sense that I was right just now. It's fine. I don't think this one is super exciting. The Model: I guess I spoke too soon! this has real lyrics. Nice. It's enjoyable. Neon Lights: Of course, the vocalist is not beautiful to listen to, really, but I think this song is pretty endearing talking about how the city's made of lights. The Man Machine: Title track! Lowkey I think of Germans as man machines, not in an ubermensch aryan way but in a very timely buttoned up way, which is literally racist but it's okay. Looking at these lyrics, I'm feeling justified again in my earlier claim. Well, that was interesting. Maybe not a 5 and even a 4 might be stretching it, but I honestly did like it and as someone who needs to lock in right now, I found its ability to slip into the background very useful. Interesting fun music. Good job, Germans!

good!

I didnt like it rven though it seems up my alley. didnt like it ar all

the kind of album where i like get it but i dont get it enough to love it love it. I know fantano sucks this album off constantly and i know it's culturally significant and people love a tribe called quest but like it's just pretty good kinda political rap to me i think

Not that good or exciting.

some nice songs i liked somebofy i used to know

Similar to the other Public Enemy album. Good but not my thing.

good! i mean its blur

well this sure is a weird album!! i like the instrumentals quite a bit but the vocals are crazy (but i suppose this is the point) and i do like sorta crazy vocalists from time to time. this seems a little too put on for me though.

cute cover. cute tunes. couldn’t be forced to care about more than 45 seconds of each song but very nice and sort of similar to joni mitchell!

i love this album. hopefully not the last pavement album on this list because theyre my absolute favorite band. this is an incredible album and the first that i got on vinyl in amoeba sf which is a lovely memory. Gold Soundz is definitely top 5 pavement songs it is THEEEEE alexa sterry summer song i wanna be so drunk in the summer sun and the kinda girl i like i love unfair bc go Norcal and its so appropriate for Cal since everyone is from LA but SF and betkeley are so much cooler and grittier and realer in my mind. silence kid is one of the best opening songs kinda ever. range life is so fire fillmore jive is a silly somber san fransisco number god its all so good and heaven is a truck is so beautifuk and lovely and CUT YOUR HAIR is a hit for good reason its so catchy and wonderful and fun and lighthearted but still has a little meaning and commentsry love it!!! god its so good i think gold soundz is the best track but theyre all pretty fuckin perfect and 5 + 4 = unity is probably the most tolerable musical interlude in an album uve heard this isnt even their best album, I thjnk, but its still an EASY 5 like all pavements stuff. love them and love stephen malknus played this on my soundburger annoyed by whole floor but worth it

first day of classes today!! anyways i thought this album was so fire it rocked so hard and ill listen again for sure. a little sex pistols/germs but still has a nice less abrasive rock vibe its good and the sounds are relatively creative YAY

lowk fire???? not rly my thing but def nixe and owner of a lonely heart is so good this reminded me

pretty good but i probably wouldn’t listen again. i love lets groove though

i’ve listened to this before but it’s so good and obviously damaged goods is a classic.

a type of british i cant be forced to get down with. its cool its fine nice warm kinda beatlesy and i liked try me on for a size which was pretty fuckin jive but not much else caught my ear

good good! interesting blend of sounds between like reggae?? and pretty typical british pop rock but i enjoyed

Why is this lowkey rly fire so far? overture idgaf abt (naturally) but Dance or Die is very Lady Gaga incredible i like the spoken word i like the guitar it's all very good but diverse in sound and yet cohesive! Faster is also nice it has a good quick beat (duh) and then it's got this sort of carefree Bjorky jubilance to it i really enjoy it Locked inside is a nice swingy pop song. very lovey very cute Sir Greendown is lovely and downbeat and the little notes give me a sort of mellow vibe it's kind of Liana Flores the Cardigans and also weirdly spooky because of the voices? But I think i hear harp it's so pretty!! This is more how i think of janelle monae. She's got a strong, kicky voice that I've really only heard in Tightrope, but it's also very pretty! Kellindo? what's all this? Its chasing, hungry music though which i so love. it's very majestic and beautiful, I htink. Tightrope is a fire song wbk. I know her for this song but i only listen to the glee version (SUPER good lowkey might be better than this hate to say it) but this is really really good too. It's so fucking catchy and i like its attitude. Wait i didnt know this had a rap verse in it and it's really good too! Gosh this is so good. I think the precussion and sound effects add something really special to this track that the glee vers apparently doesnt have (unforutnately) Neon Gumbo is an intersting little electronic interlude and i do tend to like scary nature noises in music. Gives it a really unique edge since so many songs do bzzzt but crash crash is more impactful often. Oh, Maker is very delicate and very beautiful. Very looking out across the city on a sunny but gently foggy day. it's just wonderful. omg Come Alive she's fucking tweaking! This is so very halloween it's jovial its a little Disney movie a little corny a little rockabilly a little of everything. its lowkey rly fire so catchy gosh that note at the end she's got a beautiful voice but i like that shes also willing to use it on crazy cat yowling sorta stuff Mushrooms and roses is a nice long track very chaotic very psychadellic very loud sort of 70s and sort of Beck at the same time?idk my references are all over the place but like it's definitely reminiscent of some earlier rock stuff as well maybe like Lou Reed and probably a bunch of black artists im not culturally smart enough to know. I love it Overture is very mamas and papas disney movie muted nostalgia wow this album has a very well curated vibe around it -- very much has music and sounds to fit the vibe of the songs before and after it's good it's blended well Sorta arabian? sorta alien? Neon valley street also has that sort of alien beautiful but familiar energy andi feel like this album has some great world building. i love the end too Make the Bus is so catchy so fire wow i love it it's so alternative it's a little britpop or... mika?? idk it's so fire wow it's got like a talking heads kind of lady gaga speaking it's SO hard to describe but there's definitely some sounds i feel that i know well. this album is so elaborate and involves so many people it's almost like it's a four piece band or something but it's just Janelle and her features and backup! it's so good. Wondaland is VERY cibo matto it's very cute very electronic wow i can't believe this is janelle monae super robotic super repetitive super cutesy i love that they say take me back to wonderland she thinks she left her underpants that's the kind of cutesiness we need in the music game not super crazy abt hallelujah but i like it enough!!! 57821 is haunting and almost hymnal which i don't really like but i'm sure it has some deep meaning i cant get. Say you'll go is nice and pretty and calm but i kinda don't gaf that much. it's sort of boring in its slowness Babopbye ya this is much less goofy than the name suggests. does it mean anything idk bruh but its kind of bossa nova jazz lounge singer sexy Adele sort of energy which i'll always like and 8 mins!!! again the world is super cool to me i like the foresty gardeny thing that's going on love it! this song is liek a whole 3 act opera damn wow her voice is very powerful very beauitulful this i must go part is so awesome. this is a lot nicher and like less mainstream and more experimental than i thought janelle monae went i thought she was just a pop star! but super super cool super frickin good LOVe it and i'll probably be on thsi for a good couple weeks

Pretty fire!

This shit sucks.

like if the white stripes were better and frank ferdinand were worse

Derek and the dominos dont interest me much. Layla is really good but about 3 minutes too fukcing long. i am eternally disturbed by them since Jim Morrison the crazy schizo mom-killer was part of the whole thing. But i wont let it deter me! album cover is cute it's very soulful and the guitar is really good. All the songs are lowkey the same but I love them they sound like heaven. Too long. but vibey

i get why people might like this but i dont really. its sorta boring and good but not in a way id ever really get into. kinda gay. i like blur better

Kinda just a lot of noise. I like noise and it's not so horrible but it's aggressive and mostly lyricless and incomprehensible and i don't love it.

eagles! never listened to anything from them other than Hotel California (such a good song) and probably some random hits that i don't recognize. excited since i know they're really popular! Take it Easy: Why do i feel like ive heard this before? it's really nice. a little simpler and more country-esque than hotel california but i like that. it's really lovely and feels somehow nostalgic despite never really having listened to it. Reminds me of, like, Fleetwood Mac. I guess it shouldn't surprise me since they're sorta similar bands from a similar time. Witchy Woman: This is a little more similar to Hotel California. Wow I sound stupid just referencing the singular song i know from them but it's very good! I like this kinda music. Just dudes singing about ladies. It's very simple very catchy. It's not deep or political or anything which i can appreciate sometimes. Chug All Night: Very rock n roll very classic. Just a fun little song about drinkin! Most of Us Are Sad: Bruh this is soooo true. Nice to know that people in the seventies were sad too. Genuinely some really nice lyricism here. tell me scarlet sun what will time allow? aww Nightingale: I guess i thought it'd be a more emotional song with a name like nightingale but it's definitely nice! I like how all the band members seem to sing. Gives it this nice unified choral effect. The guys are a bunch of nightingales too! Train Leaves Here This Morning: This is really pleasant, too! Like Jam on Bread... what?? Take the Devil: lowkey the best song thus far. Very smooth but with this darker, edgier sound and this vocal riff is really great to listen to, as well! Earlybird: It's so funny, the bird noises are so high pitched it almost sounds like electronic music. like lcd soundsystem hopped on the scene for the Eagles. Peaceful Easy Feeling: It's giving me a peaceful easy feeling! I wish i were on the grass eating brisket right about now. Tryin': I will say that it's gotten pretty repetitive by now but it's definitely really good. I see why the Eagles are so famous. It's nice. I think it's a little tame for me personally but this is really wonderful for what it is! 4.1/5

Elvis the pelvis! I know his huge hits but nothing else so lets see! icon obviously and apparently very hot but idk how problematic he was sorry im too woke ive heard blue suede shoes before for sure even if it wasnt elvis singing it im counting on you is really nice i didnt really know he was like a real good singer! but he has a very beautiful voice. i got a woman ok cool good its fine one sided love affair just goofy as fuckkkkk he sounds literally like goofy from mickey mouse and somehow his voice is going through different accents or some shit idk i love you because is really just fucking sweet and i like it more than most slow ballads like this he has a great voice. just because was good tutti frutti i seem to recall as a song of little richards who ive also never really listened to ! but it's pretty fire a little meaningless and repetitive but ok trying to get to you is just absolutely lovely wow it's so warm i love old music like this because its so warm and close and its unique in that way we'll never get that back :-( it's lowkey the best song i'll never let you go little darlin : also really just nice wow i dont know what to say its all just nice Blue moon finally some talk about beer it's all fine literally the pink panther theme in Money Honey not as good as lady gaga's but still pretty good

This is lowkey better than the other The The album i listened to. very oingo boingo.

Not good or interesting except come on eileen

ive been looking forward to this one. i love snoop dogg’s media persona and i follow him on instagram where he posts like 50 times a day. i have always loved this album cover but ive never listened. it’s really really catchy and the sounds are great. its really awesome. im alright with music that doesnt have some profound message but all i ask is that it isnt outwardly fucked up and harmful which this definitely is at time. I can’t believe women agreed to feature on this album since it is THEE most misogynistic shit i’ve ever heard in an album. I didnt know Snoop Dogg was mean like that! But nonetheless its a fire album so 4.5 with .5 deductrd for sexism

It's good. I've listened to it before. It's not crazy standout to me and i dont know that i love this kind of rock all the time but its very good for sure. like a 3.7 bc good but i dont listen much

i get why people like them not rly my exact cuppa but its good

Lowkey good but lowkey pissed me off. This is my least favorite genre of music -- white emo dudes rapping about how hard it is to be a white emo dude. I know he was seriously depressed, though, so more street cred than tøp and definitely sounds nicer.

Heard of them but never once listened!! Halo of Ashes: I liked the sort of exotic indian music side of things. very interesting All I know: wow this song is lowkey fire af idk if i like the singer so much but i dont dislike it so who cares its a little Jesus Jones x Kurt Cobain

fire

It's fine. Political rap is good I just think i've gotten the jist

i think it's pretty good although I have to say David Byrne's voice is not my absolute favorite. It's a little too characteristic for me. Like, I really enjoy it in Psycho Killer but other than that its hard for it to go with much. Good songs!

very good and fun but not super sonically diverse

Its just a lot of fancy noise

Interesting and atmospheric but not something i'd listen to on the regular.

Weirdly dont feel like ive heard heard of wilco even though i know they're really famous. I couldnt name a single fact abt them. starting off very dissonant and crazy like sonic youth but in a less likeable way. hes got a certain stephen malkmus face the truth qualit

Pretty fire and like catchy and stuff i like Q tip too

Is that a dude's voice?

This is good. Better than the other iron maiden i think. the guitar is really fire. Phantom of the Opera is very good. The stabbing guitar reminds me of Lucretia by Megadeth which is probably my favorite song of this genre. Fire

ok FINE queen is good it's just soooo dramatic it's a lot to handle but yes it's very good okay leave me alone

good but like when would i ever listen to this? kinda creepy

Dave Navarro's band, which I know from my brief obsession with the show Ink Masters. He's a cool guy. The music is cool too.

it's good and i think that master of puppets and the thing that should not be are really nice if a little long but it just feels a little decadent for a metal album that lowkey consists of mostly yelling the name of the song. i think its a little overrated but def good!

Very excited for this one since it seems to be very important and well received but i've never heard of it or the band! this is the kinds of cluing-in that i started this project for. It's very atmospheric. Im geting the sense that there are no lyrics or whatever in this which is cool i guess. i dont love just pure electronic lyricless stuff like this so im a little biased against it but its definitely good for what it is. Not really my thing, I think, but maybe good kinda exciting ambient music! 10/10 from pitchfork seems gratuitous

i've heard simple man and im sure ive heard free bird but i cant recall either very well I aint the one was really good and cool and whatever Tuesday's Gone is extremely boring Gimme Three Steps is kinda cool its super southern kinda line dancey which im not a super super big fan of i feel like im in a honky tonk bar lowkey. Simple Man is really good it's a little too long since its just 6 minutes of the same shit but it's pretty fire ill let it pass. things goin on has some really fun guitar going on here! i like it a lot! i feel happy. hes got a good voice. Whoa just found out half of Lynyrd Skynyrd fucking died in a plane crash. What the eff? Ok Anyways i like Mississippi kid. Poison Whiskey is also really good. its funky spunky i like it !!!! free bird is obviously too long but still good i see why its a classic 3.8/5 i liked most of it

pretty but idgaf

I do not know a single thing about Miles Davis but I've heard the name. It seems to be jazz and I seem to be automatically not that excited because of my simpleton approach to music. I think this is very pleasant maybe to work to. It's like lounge music it's very nice. PBS music. NPR music. Music for hot chocolate and notebooks.

lowkey really fire and kinda reminds me of pavement. is this loser era? i love beck’s album colors and milk and honey but this is a different sound which is also good. he sounds like stephen malkmus bless up

Very good. Cool. Hard rock. Glam metal. Like Kiss but i might even say it's a little better than their average song (but Kiss hits are like no other). It's a little more garage it's a little more real. i like it but probably not as much as i should

really nice and gives me the same wintery comfort that christmas music does but without the outrageous expiration date. 3.7/5

This is worse than I remember their other album being. It's kinda cheesy. Not very appealing. It's alright. Cop Shoot Cop pmo i don't mind noise but this is just genuinely unpleasant and feels artless and needless

It's good undeniably i just dont gaf much it's very nice though

its good but lowkey american pie the song is WAYYY too long his voice is really good though its just very samey

so fire i was like wow this is good but also i was like this feels cringey like NIN but at the end of the day it was so good i liked its weird dark romantic energy it was like the smiths but scarier

really beautiful… lowkey 5??

Okay good

Not good or interesting at all. the type of so calledindie roxk i despise

loved this even though i initially discounted the killers as one of those stupid popular new indie bands with stupid lyrics and stupid fans i think it was really good very catchy

Unfortunately didn't like this as much as i like the feisty woman on the cover. I often try to like albums because they have cool covers but it just didn't work out. I find his whiny airy british voice very annoying and the music is not interesting or cool enough to make up for it. It's alright and I guess I see why someone could kind of like it but it's not for me at all. The woman on the cover is very for me though and it's my understanding that a lot of their covers are similarly erotic and provocative and woman centric which I really appreciate. Sea Breezes is a little interesting might be the best track but maybe I just like that we're nearing the end. It's got bad sounds in it that maybe I should appreciate for some experimental bullshsit reason but i don't find meaning or groove to it. The drums are arythmic in a way I find more childlike than emotional. These are songs that do not DESERVE to be seven minutes long in the same way that LCD soundsystem or Sonic Youth does. Bitters End is a little funny. The merit here is, i guess, comedic value. It's kind of pleasant with the horns. ?? It's overall unsettling. This is more settling for some creepy marionette to be singing than a human person achieving a degree of success in the music industry. His voice is so hollow and freaky i dont fw. I was like WOW this got really good but it turns out i just had PAvement queued LOL

I like daft punk but not that much. I like Digital Love but this album didn't have many charmers like that. Even Around the World, whcih i guess is one of their big hits, is just annoyingly repetitive to me. Still pretty good though.

Birthday album! Very good and Sail to the Moon is so out of body incredible and nostalgic crazy for me as a high girl in an uber

Kinda crazy and quirky. Enjoyable and charming. Good and musically fun but not enough for regular listening.

I love this album cover. I think this received acclaim but I'm thinking I hate Bowie's voice even more than in his previous stuff. The music itself is rich and nice at points and at others, a little scary and off-putting.

Fire af

Good but actually made me sad and a little uncomfortable hes a terrible singer but RIP it was like 3.8

Its nice. I especially liked What I Can Do For You. Its boring but its good.

I find REM very charming. This guy sucks at singing but thats charming. Its good.

I dyed my hair sorta purple yesterday so prince feels appropriate. I have never really listened to pricne other than Raspberry Beret and Kiss and i think a little bit of purple rain so this should be interesting. I hear, of course, that he was a generational talent. And he was on New girl which Ive been watching so that is pretty lit.

Not my thing, kinda nice. The kind of thing id smile to if my grandpa made me listen

Blur is good. like they have some great songs. I play girls and boys like once a week. its really great very catchy and the music video is lit af (young damon albarn is really cute) but they are just so fucking british. it disturbs me. High 3 low 4

Really enjoyed, very warm and lovely jazzy whatever the perfect mood for my heirloom tomato pinterest breakfast. Aleo had a fun musical theatrey twist as I went on, sort of like Ragtime or something of the like. I liked the one line about how I can swear theres no heaven but pray theres no hell it was jovial and morbid and funny

Good i had thoughts but mostly it was just a pleasant album a good backdrop to conversation but like nothing crazy that one that was like Run chalie run or whatever was crazy but otjerwise chill

Ok. its kidna nice at its best and annoying at its worst. I just kinda got the ramblings of a drunk lounge singer

Good i had thoughts but mostly it was just a pleasant album a good backdrop to conversation but like nothing crazy that one that was like Run chalie run or whatever was crazy but otjerwise chill

I sound like a simpleton but i really dont enjoy this. Her voice is kinda eartha kitt catlike to an extreme that infuriates me. To me, this is just crawlingly slow (beautiful sure but very slow) strings with an annoying sort of grandmotherly vocal. Its nice and I suppose its likeable… I understand why people like her but this is not my favorite.

Well this is a little different. Very western rock n roll but not western it seems

Umm not my absolute favorite but i understand. its just a little underwhelming and the vocals are pissing me off a little by way of britishness. I’d listen to it again but maybe not too often.

VERY Long off the bat. Too many tracks. I'm thinking, why the fuck would you ever need to release this many songs at the same time. But it's sort of upbeat and ??happy?? for punk music at least for the first couple songs. I like the lyrics that I caught they were a little weird. "Let's say i have a number its 50000 thats 10% of 500,000" is funny. Ah then there's some nice acoustic. I think it's played well. Has an emotional gravity I like. It kind of gives me a Sublime plus Fugazi sort of vibe which is weird. It's kind of sunny and funky and nice.

Uh yeah its charming like Hairspray tje musical or whatever but i dont find it particularly exciting. i dont think this era is generally for me

Actually difficult to listen to. I think the only song I might listen to is Pinball Wizard but only the Glee version. Overall confusing and weird and I get its supposed to be a musical or somethinb but I think you should only attempt that kind of thing if it's going t o be really good and not corny.

cool because i thought it would be boring butit wasnt!

My favorite Radiohead for a reason. It's got a great mix of catchy/almost fun (for Radiohead) and depressing. Nude is crazy Shakespearean gorgeous and Weird Fishes is also like insanely beautiful All I Need is heartfelt and tender and Jigsaw Falling Into Place is one of my favorite songs it's fast paced but also sad and emotionally unique i think. Videotape is good too. House of Cards is classic but not my favorite really. It's all impressive though. Perfect you might even say? 15 step is funny it has that "yay!" and the et cetera et cetera idk i think radiohead synthesizes modern sound well into their music it's wonderful it's fresh it's great

Ok so i've heard Touch the Sky ft Lupe Fiasco that's all i know. but i love that song! Im not liking this album cover but looks can be deceiving. intro is interesting and setting up a certain social commentary angle to this abum like ok i get it misogyny + food and liquor represent good and bad! that is cool Real is good the music is really exciting action packed sorta? Lots of nice flourishes. Not the catchiest thing ever but its good. He almost seems sliiiightly off beat i wonder what effect im getting there because I'm sure he's not? Maybe its just a funny instrumental. I gotcha reminds me lots of Kanye but that's prob bc i'm uncultured The instrumental is very interesting to me. This sort of emo boy voice is very haunting and i think this is his best rapping so far its cool He Say She Say is really good I need to absorb this more fully. It's all good. Rap albums are so fucking long it's insane I hate it. As a rule do not make me listen to an hour and a half of anything. Good i like that it deals with social issues and at many times it is catchy! Fun! Outro is crazy but it's out of the box and its good to give credit where it's due overall great!

Very fun very neat i see myself listening to this lots

Yeah ok

CRAZY GOOD

Kinda creepy why is he so obsessed with this gynecology but its good

lowkey perfect

I thought it was great! My notes mostly consisted of praise and a little resentment for the Brits. Might even be deserving of a 5 but it's a little too british for me. I think he sounds like Sid Vicious. most of the music was very engaging and fun and rock n roll in a good way. Loves it!

actually pmo his voice is so ridiculously cartoonishly annoying and im sorry but i literally dont understand why people laud him like the second coming of Jesus harmonica-playing christ

I think I prefer the cadence and style of modern rap better but I think this album had a really great, charming energy. I especially liked Rock Box. The instrumental was fire! I think the style is a little Sesame street, the way they finish each other's sentences and the rhyme scheme is so duh duh duh dah dah dah but it's trailblazing and enjoyable.
