1001 Albums Summary

Might just quit my job and read in a cafe with this in the background for the rest of my life

Ah yes the music of bell bottoms, pretty guitars and many drugs. The string orchestra is a nice touch

Boomer sex playlist

Ye olde keyboard smash

Interesting but not my jam

It’s not a phase mom

Chill indie ☺️

They lost me at “really high, really high like a really high thing”

They made punk long and boring. Dishonour on their guitars

Chill music and good mix of big band and ballads. However, anyone who unironically refers to themself as a genius in their album title deserves -1 star from me

Automatic for almost making me cry

Beautiful and warm

Fun and groovy but not really my jam

I can see these songs going hard at a club and understand why people like this but “Smack My Bitch Up” as the opening track put me in an uncomfortable mood for the whole album

Really interesting and enjoyable. The skits between songs were fun and the diversity of instruments and styles was very cool.

I appreciate a good concept album and rock opera but this was too drawn out and some parts aged very poorly

Not my jam but interesting

Thank you Pixies for introducing me to the beautiful concept of surfer grunge. Super fun album that channels the adventure and pretentiousness of being a teenager. Almost makes me want to go back to 15

Lively, warm and engaging

The production is very dated but otherwise really solid album with great vocals and messages

A spectacular reflection of psychosis, depression and insanity. The sounds are so precisely chosen that each song’s story shines through the cacophony. Bonus point for being a concept album

Classic jazz is growing on me but still not really my thing

It’s fine but I found it boring tbh

Easy listening for the grocery store or dentist office. Has potential but mostly falls flat

Groovy

I like the overall sound but the vocals are terrible to my ears

Good but not my jam

*sips bourbon* yeehaw

Made me want to blow my brains out

Hypnotic and unique. I love a good wall of sound style. Would listen again and maybe rate a 5 over time.

Interesting with some good themes but overall doesn’t hit me

I’ve got a soft spot for influential women of rock and melodic electric guitar

Fun and electric

Amazing level of talent and creativity. I’m not a huge U2 fan but this a critically acclaimed album for a reason. One star off because it didn’t convince me to listen to more U2.

A album I keep returning to year after year. An absolute staple of girlhood in the 21st century. This album is beautifully cohesive in sound and lyrical themes. The first time I heard it in 2021, I felt the need to listen to more Lorde. Supercut, The Louvre and Hard Feelings/Loveless all have core memories attached to them and I listen to them regularly.

Not bad but doesn’t stand out

Interesting, chill music. I really like “By This River” but nothing else stood out to me. Parts were quite self indulgent.

Some interesting takes on a very 60s sound but not overly original. Lack of lyrical depth and memorability makes the band seem better suited to a concert opener than a headliner.

4.5/5 Interesting, creative, fun and overall an enjoyable experience. -0.5 for Every Breath You Take romanticizing deeply unhealthy relationships.

Currently 4/5 but may increase with more listening. I didn’t have time to listen to the whole album properly so I’ll definitely be listening again. Love the goth vibes and can completely see why the post-punk nature of this album was influential for so many artists.

It wasn’t bad music but I can’t say I honestly enjoyed this album

List for Life and The Passenger are great songs. I also enjoyed Neighborhood Threat cause it was punk adjacent. The rest of the album reminded me how pedophilia, glorified destruction and uncontrollable ick drive me away from listening to more classic rock

Disappointing album. Adele has an incredible voice but this album felt flat and overly sappy. 21 is much stronger

This is a masterpiece of electric guitar and creative freedom. However that’s all it is. The lack of lyrics and track dynamism made me feel bored despite the incredible guitar.

Honestly I enjoyed this more than expected. The blend of soul, r&b and pop with nods to 60s girl groups creates an intriguing and dynamic sound. I’ve added Back to Black and Me & Mr. Jones to my main playlist because they immediately caught my attention and are 10/10 for dramatically dancing around the house with or without a glass of wine. +1 for the line “what kind of fuckery is this” which caught me by surprise but instantly reached me on a spiritual level.

Not a bad album but I didn’t enjoy it even after listening through twice to give it another chance.

3.5/5 Iconic, creative, and culturally influential album (+4), impressive for a debut album (+1), multiple lyrics that give me ick (-1.5)

Solid album. Fun, interesting and overall enjoyable

Groovy, interesting and weirdly relaxing. No complaints

LOVE the concept, feel ambivalent towards the execution. I didn’t really like most of the songs on this album (I’m not a huge fan of hip hop-pop) but I’m willing to relisten a few times and let them grow on me. The spoken word tracks were an excellent addition and enhanced the theme of the album. This album is rich in cultural and sociological critiques and will thematically hold up well.

Annoyingly repetitive

Sounds like a worse version of the Mario Kart soundtrack. I respect the experimentalism but didn’t enjoy it

Lively, fun, and brightens rainy days with ease. Also a very nostalgic sound for me since my parents had several Afrobeat CDs including some by Femi Kuti (Fela Kuti’s son)

Love political punk but this was a bit of a slog

Undoubtedly culturally and historically significant album. Lots of energy, anger, and socio-political critique. Simple and effective.

I like electric guitar sounds

Tolerable but did not enjoy

I really liked the sound of this album but found it a little cheesy

Too slow for clubbing, too fast for studying. Not a fan of this kind of electronica. The integration of the streetscapes was cool though.

This is special

I want to like it but the 80s synths have aged poorly and just sound cheesy. The mall pop vibes get on my nerves.

An undeniably talented singer. Album was little sappy and whiny for my taste.

I wasn’t expecting to like this one but it absolutely slapped. Good job Metallica

Interesting album and lots of strong points but it seems like this guy only knows how to insult people using female characteristics

Interesting themes and imagery but I didn’t really like the songs when they first came out, nor do I really enjoy them now.

Nostalgic sound that takes me back to driving around with my Irish grandmother. Love the mix of lyrical and instrumental tracks. Interesting lyrics and topics.

Overall cheerful and cute. Some lyrics aged very poorly.

This guy thinks he’s very cool

A work of art that deserves to be here but not a style I’m a big fan of

Quintessential pop rock. I would potentially sell an organ to time travel into CBGB and watch Blondie perform live

Good but nothing super stands out

First half 5/5, second half 3/5. Love me some danceable rock and roll.

Good music, but not my jam

Classics

Soul crushingly beautiful, amazing cohesion of multiple genres, and relatable lyrics like “I think I’m in love (probably just hungry)” This is an unquestionable 5/5 for me

Love the perspectives and messages but not a huge fan of the general sound

I find it very irritating but could be a vibe at a skatepark I guess

I came into this thinking “oh no another unbearable Bob Dylan album, might as well get it over with” but this was actually really enjoyable. Fun, poetic and socially conscious. I’m starting to understand the hype of this guy

Sounds the way British food tastes

Did not enjoy. Boring, irritating and uses the N word for no apparent reason

Millennial hipster beach party with a couple joints vibe

No doubt self indulgent but had some interesting parts

This and stargazing in a field until you can barely stay awake This and dancing around the kitchen This and catching up with old friends at a cocktail bar This and reminding me that life can be beautiful

I don’t know if I like it but it’s undeniably interesting and creative

Groovy, nostalgic, and overall solid

Tolerable but no redeeming qualities

A fun, chill and interesting listen. Very nostalgic sound

I understand the mixed reviews on this one but I genuinely found it enjoyable. Muse was my first concert and seeing Starlight, Knights of Cydonia, and Take A Bow live were mind blowing. Many of the lyrics are shallower than I previously thought (at 16) but the thematic and musical elements of the album still hold up for me.

Owl City did it better

Very talented but not my jam

Makes me want to puke into a hay bale

Banger club music but wouldn’t listen to it in day-to-day life

I’m very glad this kind of album is on the generator but it’s personally not my jam

The first half was great but then it got really really misogynistic

Yay fierce feminist music! I want to like it a lot but it isn’t super my jam

Not bad but the vocals annoy me.

Fun, great guitar, and not gross (lyrically) unlike many classic rock musicians of the time.

Love the sound and energy but the constant “no one loves me wahhhhh” whininess gets on my nerves

Silky smooth

Is almost great but the production aged like milk

Peaceful and comforting

Pleasant, no complaints

Not bad but sounds like everything else from 1981

It’s loud, it’s angry, it’s political punk that brilliantly reflects a socially turbulent time in the UK and I live for it

Cool album but I’m not a huge fan of gangster rap. Too unnecessarily violent.

Interesting parts but you can tell the drugs are starting to brain rot the band

Rock solid

Lots of solid songs but also lots of meh

First half was 4/5, second half was 2/5

Weird but innovative. I imagine listening to this while high would be an absolute wild trip.

3.5/4 Interesting and fun

3.5/5 Long but overall enjoyable

Mostly overrated but I enjoy Don’t Look Back In Anger and Morning Glory

Had some good moments musically but I can’t justify any more than one star for lyrics so repulsively misogynistic that I genuinely felt sick

I’m a big fan of the 2000s indie rock revival but I found this album very mid

Immaculate coastal grandmother summer vibes but none of the songs really stood out

4.5/5 Overall excellent with important social justice messages. -0.5 because I found some of the songs too sappy for my taste.

3.5/5 Adorable lyrics and overall fun sound. Too long and disorganized to qualify a four for me

Icky and boring

Don’t know why this album is on this list nor what the band was thinking when they approved half-assed lyrics that start promising then reveal themselves to be the work of a smooth brain. I liked the sound of the music though

this is so sad alexa play despacito

Not mind-blowingly good but really enjoyable. I’m happy to be introduced to a new chill indie rock group

I know there are a bunch of religious and socio-political contextual references that I don’t really understand but even without this knowledge, I can tell this is a powerful record that sounds and feels good

I appreciate a good satire but the use of slurs was cheap and uncreative.

Not bad but still overrated

I now understand why early 70s rock was considered a hangover compared to 60s rock. Quite frankly, this was lame.

Interesting lyrics, not a big fan of the sound

It’s fine but I didn’t need to listen before I died

I don’t like the easy listening sound but girl’s got backbone

Love the instrumentals and indie rock revival sound but found the lyrics/vocals so repetitive, shallow and emotionless that it somewhat took me away from the music

Not bad music but not my jam. Interesting if you’re into music theory (I’m not)

4.5/5 Not my usual jam but the levels of talent, creativity, and grace makes this album special and very worthy of being on this list

Cheesy and generic

4.5/5 Fun, sunshiny, and sweet. This album is lemonade in a summer day

A rock album that you can dance to? That’s something I can get behind

Not bad but definitely not my vibe and kinda irritating

Not my usual type of music but a nice change from all the 70s/80s rock in this generator. I felt out of place listening to this at my office/lab job but I think I would enjoy it at a rave. The length got to me a bit and I’d rank it 3/5 if it were under an hour

A rock opera was promised and 100% delivered. There was drama, humour, love, and tragedy. I give many thanks to Queen for helping popularize rock operas and inspiring some of my favourite albums. That said, the “I love my car” song should never have seen the light of day -1

Spooky and unconventional. I like it.

One of my favourite albums of all time. The rage, the tenderness, the vicious lyrics all come together to form a masterpiece of love and hate. Favourite tracks: The Chain, Gold Dust Woman, Silver Springs (deluxe edition)

Boring

Some good songs, many that aged poorly

Funky

If I were a teen in the 60s, I’d probably be screaming too

I get if you’re a jazz fan, this is great. For me, it was passable background music

Sappy elevator music

Too much ego, not enough talent

Enjoyable but nothing really stood out to me

No denying he’s a world-class guitarist and this is impressive for a debut album but I had trouble connecting with the music and overall didn’t really enjoy it

Political punk automatic 5/5

If you’re expecting a four-man rock band, of course this doesn’t sound like music. Taken as eerie horror movie ambience, it’s excellent. Despite trying to not like this I found it intriguing and entertaining the whole time.

Cool use of diverse instruments but overall too sappy and not my jam

It’s a modern art museum

Lots of good hits but overall I didn’t feel connected to a lot of the music. It feels almost too safe and radio-oriented for my taste. Vienna is the exception. Vienna made me reevaluate my life choices.

If fans are heckling you at a concert maybe that’s a clue that you shouldn’t release this as a live album. First half was genuinely a painful waste of time. Second half was a bit more tolerable but even the harmonica seems to screech for help

Long but full of enjoyable and heartfelt songs. I was a little worried when I didn’t recognize any of the songs on the album but every Stevie song (especially Storms and Sara) stood out to me

White boys trying too hard to be cool but actually sounds decent

Love letters to other artists and anti-war propaganda are a thumbs up from me

It’s alright

Seems funny that back in the day this seemed hard core. Now, with no disrespect, it feels cute in the way that some old people are cute

Flower frolicking music

Interesting and influential for good reason. Would give it 4 stars if the horniness was less over the top and the band chose something other than “ding dong” to repeatedly refer to male reproductive organs

Funky? Yes Psychedelic? Yes Groovy? Absolutely 3.5/4

Absolutely legendary

Very enjoyable, interesting and groovy

If only there was a little more sexy guitar and a little less Robert Plant moaning

Groovy and captivating

I don’t need more sad cowboys in my life thank you

Some bangers, some snoozers

The mic is ON

Better than expected

Not for me

The doors sound great when they steal other people’s music

Better Bob Dylan

Kings of darkness🤘🎸

This is a good album but not really my jam

Catchy dance pop. Not my jam

B for boring

Sounds like I’m getting abducted by aliens

3.5/5 I really enjoy the storytelling of this album. The layered imagery, stories of humanity, and emotional conflicts. That said, there’s a time and place for this album, otherwise it can easily feel boring

Half the songs on this album have been staples of my life since 2004. Of course I like this for the nostalgia but it’s also just a good record. Murder mystery, a diss track to a childhood bully, gospel choirs, strong guitar riffs and THE white person party anthem of the past 20 years… you can’t really go wrong.

Fun, groovy, solidly enjoyable

Irritating and repetitive. Reading through some of the lyrics was mildly interesting but the sounds were painful

I should like it but I don’t. Instrumentals sound good and I appreciate the artistic spunk but not my jam

Pros: -attempts to destigmatize sex and queer sexual orientations during a politically conservative era -talented vocals Cons: -multiple creepy and unsettling lyrics -ick production choices

Yeah can I please get a massive ego with a side of cool music

3.5/5 Funky and groovy. Some excellent songs, some meh songs but overall enjoyable

Yep definitely pills involved

Personal opinion: 1/5 -1 Sappy -1 Country music -1 Americana -1 Too much “oh lord” and thick accent that is typically shared by people with strongly opposed political views to me Opinion with atheist and anti-American biases aside: 3/5 The record is well done and James Taylor is obviously talented. I would rather drive in silence than listen to this on a long roadtrip but I understand why it’s award-winning.

Super fun album, definitely ahead of the curve

Sorry let me put on some black lace gloves and eyeliner before I listen to this album for the third time today. Anyways, exquisitely produced album. Love the beautiful weave of real instruments and synths. So many songs are rock solid and the whole album aesthetic is gorgeously cohesive without sounding the exact same.

Not bad but nothing stood out to me

2010s indie is usually an auto 5/5 for me and I like the sound but the album felt soulless. There was no passion or love that shone through.

I usually like social commentary music and the sampling was cool but this didn’t quite hit for me

Interesting and very forward thinking album

I appreciate the satire of the album but the style gives me unshakable weird uncle energy

Interesting concept and execution but not my jam

Fun guitar solos but otherwise boring

Feels like I’m having a stroke while high

Dude claims not to be misogynistic then proceeds to use really sexist insults. Overall smooth and interesting album though

It’s alright

Vibey Oasis

Beautiful songs. Didn’t make my lover and I want to swing though :/

Fun instrumentals, irritating vocals. Can’t believe these guys have three albums on here 🙄

Damn these guys need stronger antidepressants

Funky and danceable. Some great songs, some duds

Smooth anti-war music is a big thumbs up from me. Unlikely that I’ll listen to this again but definitely worthy of being on this list.

Cool music but don’t feel connected to it

Some interesting lyrics but parts didn’t age well. I enjoy the overall sound of the album but Neil Young’s voice is annoying.

Great if you want to drink moonshine and stare longingly at someone across a cornfield I guess

Beep Boop Bee this is not for Me

Alright for background music but not something I’d want to listen to again

Me: mom can we Coldplay? Mom: we have Coldplay at home The Coldplay at home:

I would enjoy this so much more if it was just the instrumental parts

Interesting and fun

Interesting but not my jam

Iconic

Super great album but the guitar feedback/distortion was a bit much for me at some point

Pleasant but not something I’d listen to again

Alright but not my jam

Not bad but definitely overrated

Classic blues deserving of respect but not my jam

Gloomy as hell but enjoyable and interesting

I’m usually not a fan of 70s singer-songwriter albums (or maybe just the ones chosen for this generator) but this album was lovely. Strong voice, great vibes, well produced.

It’s angry and loud and madness and wonderful. -1 since the best song on here is a cover

For an album titled cloud nine, these guys don’t seem overly happy about the recent break up…

POV: you believe that Tylenol causes autism and decide to take LSD for your fever instead

Disturbing and headache-inducing but not entirely bad

Unpleasant

Rock solid swamp music

Who let the theatre kids make a rock album?!

Instrumentals are easy 5/5 Guitar solo in Can’t You Hear Me Knocking is a 6/5 That said, some lyrics and messaging are questionable and outdated for example: -a portrait of slave owners raping slaves is an appropriate analogy for my attraction to black women -if you love someone enough, there mental illness will go away -sexism is cool

Toxic masculinity is very unflattering.

I really like Use Somebody but the rest was bland and, at some points, icky

Nothing stood out to me

Fantastic album, just wish Billy Corgan could sing

Some gold stars, some duds. Overall enjoyable

I’ve never heard anything like this before

What if we got reallllly high and made money off of it

Solid, surprisingly heartfelt, and less cringey than expected

Primal, gritty, overhyped and but enjoyable

I appreciate what the band was trying to do with this album but I found the songs consistently annoying

Sounds like a bad hangover and yelling at your wife until she gets you another beer

Really misogynistic and creepy. Talented rapper but I felt very uncomfortable with a lot of the songs.

I like the concept but did not enjoy the execution. The sexualization of medical providers in this album is really unnerving as a healthcare worker

Good, interesting music

A masterpiece of brilliant, fiery passion and intelligent execution. The stories of tragedy, love, heartbreak and violence highlight the realities of racism, colonialism and social inequities. I really enjoyed the rhythm, style and lack of sexism which unfortunately plagues a lot of hip hop. This is a listen again for sure.

Interesting but not really my jam

Feels like a 70s time capsule. Solid album but overly sappy and meh for me

Alright but not really my jam

Always happy to find new content for my “Whiny Men Who Sing” playlist

Energetic and poetic but I don’t think I could listen to it all day

Some gems but several songs annoyed me

Talented but not my vibe

I love girl punk

Lyrically, thematically, and sonically powerful. Would be a five but any amount of violent sexism is too much

Bland and nearly made me fall asleep but not entirely bad

Very fun and interesting album with impeccable rhythm

Interesting and sweet. Worthy of listening before I die

Whiny af but I vibe with the sound

Not bad but not my jam

Bland and a dishonourably discount version of blues

I like the atmospheric wall of sound style but after a 1h04 it just sounds annoying and pretentious

🤘💣🎸🤖🔥

Good but not my jam

Some very nostalgic songs (family road trip staples) and some new-to-me songs. Overall enjoyable and solid

Weird. I like it

Not their best work but still very enjoyable

Unimpressive

Interesting lyrics, meh sound

Beautifully gentle

The drug budget for this must have been insane

Miserable men with guitars have a certain charm

Influential for better (banger songs) and worse (normalized sexism and harmful language)

Interesting music but I didn’t feel connected to it at all

Fun but sounds very generic

I love fast and furious punk! Great album but didn’t blow my mind to merit a 5

I don’t like the distorted vocals (tell me your singer can’t sing without telling me your singer can’t sing) but I otherwise love the sound

Annoying and aged poorly. Didn’t need to listen before I died

Boring, couldn’t get into it

Canadians this whiny must be Toronto Maple Leafs fans. Didn’t like Arcade Fire as a kid (the radio played them constantly for CanCon), still don’t like them. The album concept and structure is interesting though.

Interesting themes, lyrics and art… not to mention epic sound

God save angry, anarchy-fuelled, world changing music

I’m confused. Am I listening to Wii Sports, a Star Wars-inspired orchestral rock band, sappy singer-songwriter content or a David Bowie imitation? I appreciate the creativity but it doesn’t land for me.

Bluesy, gritty, and overall enjoyable

There’s potential but, in its current form, Gorillaz is boring

Would probably sound fantastic if you were high

If I need to listen to another tepid electronica album, please end me. It was a vibe for about 10 minutes but 1h06 was painful.

Unequivocally a masterpiece

Stylistically interesting and definitely before its time. However, I found the lyrics creepy and disturbing in a way that would make me choose the bear over these guys

Some songs were too sappy for my liking but overall I found this to be a beautiful labour of love, full of powerful voices and spirits.

I love the vocals and general sound of this album but the repetitive harmful expectations of men, slut shaming, and glorification of manipulative behaviour limits my rating to a 3

Sounds like most other British 80s new wave bands. Not bad but didn’t blow me away.

A surprising amount of bangers

I actually loved this. The style, concept and composition were really entertaining. Minus one star because “It’s Business As Usual” made me want to actually throw up. The artist should definitely get a psych evaluation but I dig music that’s a bit unhinged.

Overall solid, interesting and fun album

Chill and hypnotic. I feel like I’d love hearing them in concert in some grimy shoebox music club but streaming the music didn’t quite hit.

Looks and sounds like my grandmother

Forget albums to listen to before you die… I want to listen to this one as I die. Please make this my life outro.

Some iconic songs but mostly bland, ridiculous and highly egotistical

Very chill and pleasant

Fierce, unapologetic and wildly influential. Exactly what I needed on a frigid November morning.

These guys had some good drugs

Marvin Gaye music sounds like a boomer sex playlist even when singing about divorce. Can’t deny the funk even if the lyrics are whiny.

Half beautiful, half boring

Not my usual vibe, but banger album

Pretentious and boring

Long live punk music

Good stuff but not really my jam

Very solid 3.5 that I don’t mind bumping to a 4 because ZZ Top beards are iconic

Funky and refreshing

I want to like it but it’s a little too annoying

Wall to wall bangers

I like to think that this would send Victorian children and adults into a coma

Ridiculous, cringey and embarrassing

Very pleasant background music. Unexpectedly enjoyable for a jazz album

I can’t stand it

The sad boi™️ flew to close to the sun and melted the charm into irritating whininess

Interesting but not captivating

Short and sweet and bitter and iconic

Incredibly mid. Not bad, but not worth 70 minutes of my time

A high quality masterpiece

Oops this album found me in my riot grrl era. For real this is a great album. The sound is ferocious. The lyrics take on interesting perspectives and complex feelings about motherhood, being objectified by society and dealing with mental illness. I’ve found it quite thought-provoking and have already listened twice.

Very chill and peaceful but didn’t stand out to me

Not as strong as other hip hop albums on the list but impressive for a 19-year-old in 1989. Ladies first is a banger

Interesting but not enjoyable

The production and sound are incredible. The unfaltering misogyny is repulsive. When even the Wikipedia introduction says “Women feature as prominent characters in their often dark, sarcastic, casually offensive lyrics,” you know it’s bad. My main concern is that The Rolling Stones are role models who end up normalizing this kind of harmful male dominance/female subordination mindset.

The production and musicianship are excellent. Such a shame the album repeatedly chugged “degrading women juice” instead of “respecting women juice”. Otherwise this could easily be a 5.

Pleasant but didn’t really stand out

The Ronettes and Darlene Love are some of my favourite Christmas music artists and I believe they continue to absolutely carry the genre decades later. That said, Phil Spector is a bad person who shouldn’t continue to be highlighted in this way.

Not bad but didn’t hit me

I enjoy Jennifer and Sweet Dreams but everything else is very meh

I wanted to like it, but frankly, it was boring

In the wise words of the 2020s trend: “Smash, next question”

Pleasant but boring and entirely forgettable

Oh Great Generator, why must I listen to this album before I die? It’s boring, lacks talent, devoid of inspirational power and moral shock. The mix of rock and electronica is somewhat creative but alas I despise electronica

Interesting lyrics. Too bad they’re set to music blander than boiled potatoes

Not entirely my jam but the groove is undeniable

Parts were definitely unpleasant but my pretentious, emo, teenage former-self asked to keep listening and I’m glad I did. The singing is atrocious but the sound is enjoyable and ahead of its time

Smooth, soothing, and overall good stuff but nothing super stood out to me

Interesting and full of talent

Pleasant but unoriginal

The production is extremely 2001 for better or worse. The lyrics are about ego, girls and drugs so nothing new but I found less disgusting sexism than other records. Not bad but unlikely to listen again

3.5/5 Interesting and creative. I definitely enjoyed it more than expected but the dreary whininess of the vocals prevent me from giving a full 4/5

I enjoyed this a lot more than expected based on the Wikipedia blurb. It’s a little dark, a little sexy, and a little jazzy. I like the genre blending and femme fatale vibes

Enjoyable but not mind-blowing. I like rock ballads and the soothing touches of this album. The themes and lyrics are interesting. Overall good stuff.

There’s talent but I can’t with the cheesy 90s overproduction

It’s giving 80s “macho” dad with an impractical car who stares too intently at the neighbour’s teenage daughter

Can’t resist the funk, can resist the sappiness

I love the sound, style, and cheekiness of this album. I can get behind the devil worship but the preying on teenage girls is my line.

Boring and unoriginal

Interesting perspective on life, death, and religion. Beautifully sentimental.

Tolerable background noise

The himbo of albums… fun but lacks substance

Artsy and experimental but doesn’t blow me away

Good stuff but not my jam

Didn’t need a listen before I died

I didn’t know I needed full orchestral soul music in my life. Very enjoyable

Excellent stuff

I’m hungry and the band name reminds me of bread so I’m giving this a warm sourdough out of bread. A little plain and not for everyone but I like it

Not horrible but a boring waste of time

I’m sticking with the bread theme today so this is an olive and cheese loaf. Tasty, a little different, and great for a summer picnic

Ew

Interesting blend of sounds and languages. Makes for great background noise

Had me head bopping the whole way through traffic

Bad people making certified bangers

I like the garage rock sound but the songs were meh. I wanted to like this more than I actually did

So bad that it’s funny

Feels like I’m playing Wii Sports while high

3.5/5 I like the sound and they were very before their time. Many of the artists and albums I enjoy were influenced by Dinosaur Jr. That said, the whininess kills me.

Better than expected for a band with such a boring name. Solid stuff

Straight bangers

Damn hippy music

It’s a masterpiece. I’m speechless.

Don’t like the sound or the lyrics. Not my jam

Filler. Decent sounding filler. But filler nonetheless

Not a fan of the style but decent album

Good album. Important album.

Easy 4-5 stars if they had anyone with half decent vocals

Beautiful

Tough listen, very self-indulgent

Pleasant but blander than a British person’s spice rack

Manufactured capitalism slop

Ridiculous, immature and annoyingly enjoyable

By no means mindblowing or original but I really enjoyed this album. It’s fun, silly, sweet, and has great guitar.

Not something I’d want to listen to all the time but pleasant in the right setting

Straight fire

Today on British men with overinflated egos…

Pleasant but doesn’t stand out

I adore the opening punch of Rolling in the Deep and Rumour Has It. Many absolute bangers that have followed me throughout my life starting with this album being one of the first CDs I ever owned (played on my lightning mcqueen CD player of course). That said, the overproduction on most of the songs really bugs me

Sociopolitical commentary✅ Concept album✅ “Fuck the government” attitude✅ “Fuck social hierarchies” attitude✅ Anti-war✅ Danceable✅ Enjoyable listen✅

Interesting and full of talent but oh so pretentious
