I was gonna say something funny, but I don't want to get cancelled.

Points for having a song called no no no, even though it sucks.

Sometimes I think they started this band on a dare.

I need to listen again, hold up.

Kind of a jam. The lyrics are concise and clever, the sound is interesting and varies throughout, and this album brightened my morning overall. Albums like these are why I'm doing this project. Hidden gems I wouldn't have found otherwise.

Too Long. Took me days to finish.

Summer in the freezing Sask winter.

Some highlights: -Gimme Shelter -You Can't Always Get What You Want -You Got The Silver -Midnight Rambler -Monkey Man

It's a solid album from top to bottom. Some highlights include: -Mountains Beyond Mountains -The Suburbs -Suburban War -Rococo -Modern Man This album does drag on for a little too long though.

I need to listen again, hold up.

Good quality rock and roll. Feels like Janis Joplin meets The Doors.

Rounding up to 4, this is a 3.5.

She's on to something here fellas. Would be a five if there were more catchy, singable songs along with all the weird stuff. It gets to weird some times too.

I gave this a one a few months ago, then went back and listened again. What was I on?

Good guitar, bad lyrics.

Even though the use of certain words seems unnecessary, this album is innovative, catchy, lyrically interesting, and instrumentally brilliant.

-1 full star for musical quality. -1 half-star for catchiness. -1 half-star for a good mix of different song types. -1 full star for interesting lyrics. -1 full star for innovation, no one sounded like these guys except The Byrds at their time. Overall: 4 stars.

Before I begin I would like to say that Brett Anderson's voice makes me want to shoot him and myself. That aside I will try to stay objective. -1 star for good-quality instrumentals. I feel like the rest of the band should chuck Brett and do their own thing because they're pretty great musicians. -1 star for a good mix throughout the album. It's a pretty nice variety of sounds. -0 stars for innovation. This one is pretty obvious. -Let's say half-star for lyrics. He does address weighty topics, but his lyrics aren't exactly genius. -Then 0 for catchiness again, which also has to do with his stupid voice. Overall, 2.5. Let's say 2.

1 star for instrumental quality. 1 star for a good mix throughout the album. Nothing for catchiness. Nothing for innovation. Lets say half for lyrics. Total: 2.5 stars I will say 2 because I was pleasantly surprised by this album. Generally heavy metal sucks.

Ah yes, God from dogma.

I wanted to like this album. But I got bored by some of the lyrics and all the songs are pretty similar. Buffalo Stand is overrated, but Manchild is a cool song. This is actually more 2.5.

I was surprised, this album was new for me. Cool that this guy inspired so many great artists though.

Points for doing something new. A little bit too heavy on the imaginary words for me. I had trouble deciding what review to give, but I think it has to be 3. This isn't really my kind of thing, but m.i.a is a good songwriter, and she is trying out a new sound. 6/10 There's a lot of filler.

Sometimes I think they started this band on a dare.

Boring seventies pop. Had to put it on hold for a few days. 2.5 rounding up.

Catchy and nice voice. Pretty samey and basic.

Catchy

First of all, you can't here anything that the singer is saying. Secondly, even if you could, it's all predictable, formulaic, nihilist garbage. All the songs sound the same, there's one catchy track that manages to kill the mood at the same time, and they're trying so hard to be edgy that it makes them flop. Great drumming. Other than that, slipknot and nu-metal in general are trash.

I wanted to hate this album more than I ended up doing. Some of his lyrics are still super misogynistic and homophobic though. Stan is a good song. The skits and jokes are stupid. I'm confused. Kim is one of the songs I'm the most on the edge about. It's either a masterpiece or the most horrible, wife-abusing piece of shit I've ever heard. I guess I'll go with my system as usual: -1 star for innovation. -Half star for lyrics. Some stuff is great and some stuff is just plain awful. -1 star for instrumental/voice quality. His flow is nice. -0.5 stars for a good album mix. I don't care about the stupid skits. -1 full star for catchiness. Will the real Slim Shady please stand up? Overall: 3.5 stars .

Prince is talented. But I got tired of the 9-minute songs of him screwing around with cheesy lyrics. Some great songs are on this record, but here's how I would rank it. -0.5 stars for lyrics. There's great stuff( All the critics love you in New York, delusional, free) but also a boat load of crap. -0.5 for catchiness. Again, some are amazing, and some are super boring. -1 for instrumental quality. Great guitar, and drums. -1 for innovation. You hear Prince in a lot of newer artists. -0 for a good mix throughout the album. Too much filler. Overall: A well-deserved three stars. 6/10

Classic pretentious album.

I expected less. Interesting lyrics, cool instrumentals, awesome variety, and some super catchy stuff. Hidden gem

Nice surprise! I didn't know this band; they seemed boring when I read about them. But this had some pretty good quality grunge, kind of like your favourite grunge band's favourite grunge band vibe. I can't give it 5 because they didn't change the genre or do anything super unique, but this is a good, engaging album. Much better than Soundgarden.

Axl Rose's stupid voice. Man. Slash is so good though. I'm torn. -1 star for instrumental quality. -1 star for catchiness. -0 for lyrics. Bro can't write songs. -0 for a good album mix. Too much similar-sounding stuff. -0 for innovation. Overall: 2 stars. Well deserved and won entirely by Slash.

Never listened to Nas before now. Pretty cool. -1 star for lyrics -1 star for good flow. -1 star for catchiness. -1 star for originality. -1 star for good album mix. More like 4.5 but round up.

Frank Sinatra meets Tom Lehrer meets Jacques Brel. Doesn't always work. -1 half-star for lyrics since this was mostly covers. - Half-star for instrumental quality; ie his voice. -Half a star for catchiness, it's hit-and-miss. -Half a star for innovation. -Minus 1 star for being repetitive. Thought it was gonna be 3, but I guess not. Eh, what the heck. He deserves a 3.

Booooooooooooooooooooring. I got really tired of the 13-minute tracks. -1 star for originality. -1 star for instrumentals. -Half a star for lyrics. Great when you can actually hear it. -Minus 1 for being a bad mix, repetitive and boring. -Minus 1 for not being catchy or singable or even danceable. Overall: 2.5, rounding down because this guy cannot write anything under 4 minutes long.

Too many Deep Purple albums on this list. They sound like The Doors and Black Sabbath had a baby, and he turned out uglier than both parents. You've got all the cheese of early '70s metal, without Ozzy Osbourne's lyrics and original style, and you've got the random organ solos and overly long songs of The Doors in all the wrong places, not pairing well with the rest of the band's feel or the singer's voice. I have no idea if they are good songwriters, since all I can hear is the instrumentals, and the vocal stuff I do hear makes me cringe. The only thing saving them from a 1 is the instrumental quality of the album and the catchy hooks throughout. Songs Saved: 1/7 Does it belong on this list? One Deep Purple record would have been enough. Certainly not this one. I did like Child in Time, even though it drags on a little too long. Worst song: Hard Lovin' Man.

A bit empty, but fun.

Never listened to Iggy Pop before. Delightful. Clever lyrics, great melodies, catchy guitar riffs, and real punk spirit. Great. The producer work of David Bowie also shines through without cramping Iggy's style.

Yawn

Didn't enjoy it. I guess it's meant to be artsy, but seriously, wtf. Obviously Zappa is a great guitar player, but he is so much better elsewhere. This is a stupid parody that forgets that music is meant to entertain. Where is the beauty, where is the tune, and where is the irony promised? This just seems like a parody of parodies. It doesn't have the cynical, dry humour of Tom Lehrer, and doesn't do justice to the strangeness of Tom Waits because it's trying so hard to be funny that it isn't working. Yeah. I like mocking hippies too. But can we be smarter about it please?

Did I enjoy this album? Kind of. Is it great? Absolutely. -1 for lyrics, even though they are pretty hard to decipher sometimes. -1 for instrumentals, pretty unique sound. -1 star for catchy tunes. Dirty old town, dirty old tooooooooown. -1 star for being original. Punk and folk together is something I hadn't thought of mixing. -I'm docking one point for this album being too long and some boring songs. Also, the sound is too constant (not enough variety). I can see why it's here, and they are certainly doing something new and cool. It's just missing something. Not sure how to explain it. Also not really my style. Absolutely belongs on this list, but my enjoyment of it was probably 3/5.

Albums like this make me feel better about my own songwriting abilities.

What's not to like?

Kind of a jam. The lyrics are concise and clever, the sound is interesting and varies throughout, and this album brightened my morning overall. Albums like these are why I'm doing this project. Hidden gems I wouldn't have found otherwise.

It's alright, but couldn't I have listened to it after departing my earthly body? Perhaps on the elevator up to heaven. Assuming I'm going to heaven.

Halloween rock.

I think this album isn't supposed to be listened to. It's meant to get film companies interested in a product, as Wikipedia seems to say, and I agree. -1 star for the "concept" and the story. 1 star for the actual music, which makes an okay background, but isn't exactly a thing of beauty. This whole album left me wondering why no one ever made a movie.

What a guitarist. Longer than it needed to be. Also, I feel like Clapton's influence is overstated in the comments. He's not even the lead singer, and despite him being a racist pig, he's real talented.

Awesome in every way. Why I'm here.

I always bypassed CCR as just another silly Lynyrd Skynyrd southern rock band, but Forgerty is so talented.

This is super overrated. Pitchfork gave it a ten out of ten, which is preposterous. Making electronica requires very little real talent, and this album in general is very pretentious. In the end, my decision came down to this: -1 half star for instrumental quality. You're good with computers, so what? -1 half star for beauty in general there are some really pretty moments. -1 star for good production. -1 star for starting electronica, even though it sucks. Other than that, this album Is pretty mid, and the artists are pretty talentless.

I guess my dad was right. Love is overrated.

This is a 4.5, but I'm rounding up. Cosmo's Factory was better. I still dig. I think my enjoyment was 4/5, but I'm trying to be objective.

"It's not the band I hate, it's their fans" -Sloan 3.5 Minus points for the worst band name in rock history.

Enjoyment: 3/5, he can do better. Objectively: 4/5, what a guitarist, and lots of variety.

Relatively boring.

Makes up for the 13 minute nonsense with some really catchy and provocative tunes.

Super boring and predictable. Beck can do much better than this. Occasional high points like Paper Tiger, Lonesome Tears and Golden Age. Just another sad guy with no inspiration. You're not Nick Drake, dude.

Too long, good moments.

Cooooool daddy-oh.

This beautiful day was ruined by the knowledge that there is a user in this platform that gave The Beatles' Revolver a 1 and System of a Down a 4. As for the actual album, it's wonderfully moppy genius.

Much better than I expected. ABBA is one of those bands that is really good at what they do, only what they do isn't very good. Some examples of this type of music include Metallica and The Mothers of Invention.

I love Crosby, Stills and Nash. They're even better with Neil Young. But David's solo career is a huge disappointment. The songwriting is subpar, especially "Cowboy Movie", the instrumentals interludes are stupid, and even the Neil collab was trash. The best song is Laughing.

Only had time to listen to Speakerboxxx, but it was lit.

I was gonna say something funny, but I don't want to get cancelled.

Anybody else getting a bit of a White Stripes vibe?

Good at what she does.

Most certainly not my new favourite band.

Nice.

Seems appropriate.

Cool.

A really beautiful collection of songs. Lou Reed,man.

Points for having a song called no no no, even though it sucks.

Ahead of its time.

This is like copy pasting a bunch of different bands and making something worse.

R.E.M are the greatest rock songwriters of all time (except maybe for the Beatles).

Feels like molten sunshine. Or honey. Or heroin.

Raw talent. Wasted talent.

Weird, but true.

Substantially better than I thought it would be. Favorites: Chinese Bombs, Movin' on Least Favorites: Beetlebum, Country Sad Ballad Man 3.5

A little shock value. Not bad though.

3.5

Hey if you idiots gave Eminem 3.5, and this guy only 2.whatever, there's a problem, because they're both gross as hell and this guy actually has things to say.

Track by track. -Synchronicity I is kind of like the Sgt Pepper's opening track. It sets the fun mood but isn't too deep by itself. -Walking in your footsteps sounds dumb the first time, as mentioned in one of the reviews. All the dinosaur stuff is weird. But once you listen a little closer, it's brilliant. It's a comparison with nuclear warfare. Also, Stewart Copeland is amazing. -O My God indeed. -Mother is pretty funny. Summers is crashing out something else. -Miss Gradenko sounds like it's sung by Sing even if it's not, and for a drummer song, it's lyrically pretty solid. -Synchronicity II is a songwriting highlight. -Every Breath You Take is Andy Summers' moment. That guitar is so haunting. -King of Pain is sharp. There's a skeleton choking on a crust of bread bites. -Wrapped Around Your Finger is such a good breakup song. That's what I call bass. -Tea in the Sahara is my least favourite apart from Mother. The lyrics bore me. But the guitar is great. -Murder By Numbers is Sting's Agatha Christie novel. Overall, I love The Police. As for the cultural appropriation stuff, I don't really see it. His accent is not Jamaican at all (go listen to Marley and you'll see) and the reggae style drumming and bass is just inspiration. If you start calling this cultural appropriation, then everything from The Beatles to Songhoy Blues is too.

Diamonds in the Mine is so weird. 5/5 anyway.

New and compelling. 4.25

Real fun. Doesn't seem like they're pretending. 4.25

Irritating and generic. If you like this, I'm sure there is a reason. I just haven't found one yet.

The Chili Peppers wish.

Boring and forgettable. Maybe a bit catchy.

Fire. A little samey.

Music meant to be heard but not listened to.

mildly interesting

I keep thinking the Stones are overrated.

War on imperialism

Witty

Extremely underrated on this website.

I can see it. I really can. But it's a bit samey and the translated lyrics are ok. 3.5

Got this the day after Bryan Wilson died.

Evry song on this is a save, even the instrumentals.

You're not tough.

Hmmm. I think it isn't very good. Maybe someone can enlighten me.

Like Tori Amos if Tori Amos didn't suck.
