Untitled (Black Is)
SAULTNot necessarily a bad album, but not really my musical style.
Not necessarily a bad album, but not really my musical style.
I really tried to find the artistic side of this album and see a way to enjoy it, but with all the respect in my heart this just felt like a pure cacophony of noise lol. It definitely feels like the soundtrack for any manic pixie dream girl of the late 50โs early 60โs. Mad respect to Mingus but just not my style.
Iโve only ever heard Bittersweet Symphony from them and Iโm not the biggest fan of it due to how overplayed it is. But DAMN this album?? Itโs so smooth and haunting but almost grunge, such a perfect amalgamation of sound. Huge fan.
I didnโt have a single song that I even thought to skip on this album. One of my favorites on this journey.
Loved a few tracks but not a listen through album for me. Pivotal alt rock sound though and does feel like an essential experience for that scene.

A must listen for anyone who djโs or likes samples. Trying to get through it even if itโs not my style. Album art perfectly matches the vibe.
No interest in giving him any of my streaming time or attention.
I really tried but every song just made me think of toy story and I couldnโt get past it.
The whole time I felt like a detective in a 70โs cop show. Hell of a vibe
I donโt know how else to describe it besides it sounded like a middle school blues band. Love the white stripes but this wasnโt it for me.
Would never have listened to this on my own and will likely never listen in full length again but it was funky and a nice change up.
Iconic and sounds so much more mature than Get Behind Me Satan. Much more blues rock than just blues. Wouldnโt say itโs a no skip album for me but enjoyed the listen.
Much more of a vibe than anticipated!
Pretty good but just felt like generic early 2000โs pop.
This album is how I discovered I do like reggae.
One of the best story tellers in the history of music. The tie ins of melodies throughout the album get me every time. This is one Iโve heard many times before but Iโll never turn down the chance to listen again. Would rate higher if I could.
This whole album sounds the same to me.
If Trent Reznor and Bob Dylan sang vocals for Radiohead, you would get the afghan whigs.
Actually really liked this album. I feel like U2 is over-hated considering how solid their sound and structure is.
The soundtrack to a C-list coming of age movie in the early 2000โs.
This album perfectly describes psychedelics or psych rock because I would have to be under the influence to thoroughly enjoy it.
Occasionally I like metal but I donโt think I like thrash. Too chaotic for me.
Love Sufjan!! Such an interesting sound and odd stories layered in each track. Will definitely revisit.
With the exception of Take Me Out, there was nothing super memorable about this one. Doesnโt mean it was bad, just felt very generic.
This isnโt dad rock, this is grandpa rock. I have a love/hate relationship with some of the hits from Steely Dan. But I think after hearing this album I get why they were so popular and still are to a degree. Enjoyed more than I expected!
Loved this!! Only knew a couple tracks from them prior but definitely want this album after listening. Epitome of 90โs.
When you take too much Benadryl, this album plays in the background as you duel the hat man.
I only liked one song that had no vocals
Iโm not mad about this one. It was fun and groovy and despite being way too long for me to typically enjoy, it stayed fresh throughout. May not listen cover to cover again but wonโt be upset if itโs on.
Decent album but not memorable.
I was so hopeful for this one since itโs such a cult classic and Iโve liked other joy division songs. But this album just seemed so monotonous to me and maybe I didnโt listen closely enough but I just donโt get it.
This just wasnโt it for me. Not a terrible album but I have no desire to listen again.
Fire!! I love how โ90sโ this whole album sounded. Kept my attention the whole way through without sounding monotonous. A nice break in the duds Iโve been getting.
I had only really heard Toxicity from SOAD before this and part of me was dreading this album. But so solid!! I really loved it. His vocals can be a little much sometimes but also keeps it interesting.
I always see this album sell out but I never knew why. I get it now.
This was super groovy and incredible funk in the first half but then I got bored.
Itโs been a while since I had any interest in anything hip-hop so I was unsure about this one. But it was so great! The storytelling was evenly matched with the solid production and mixing. Actually really enjoyed it.
This was the most tortuous album Iโve ever heard. I feel ill.
Iโve only ever heard Bittersweet Symphony from them and Iโm not the biggest fan of it due to how overplayed it is. But DAMN this album?? Itโs so smooth and haunting but almost grunge, such a perfect amalgamation of sound. Huge fan.
Iโm slowly growing more familiar with blues so this is a very inexperienced critique, but this just felt like a quintessential blues album. If I look up blues in the dictionary I think this starts playing. May not be an every day listen for me but I did enjoy it.
Her voice is so beautiful even if country isnโt my vibe.
This was a generally very funky and groove heavy album but it kinda all sounded the same.
Iโve been a fan of Elvis for almost my whole life so itโs not a shocker I liked this one, but it was so interesting to me to notice the quality of the recording and visualize how it was made.
What an incredibly stellar sound and clean recording. Newport folk walked so Woodstock could run.
This was pretty good even if it may not be something I revisit often. Definitely matched my style just didnโt stand out to me much.
I really couldnโt get into this one.
I wouldnโt have expected to like this but thoroughly enjoyed it! Very soft 90โs.
Donโt get me wrong, I adore Ellaโs voice and this is a beautiful album. But I truly didnโt think it would ever end.
Never disappointed by Talking Heads.
I always love anything from Prince but this was my first front-to-back album listen from him. He was one horny dude.
Her voice is beautiful and I loved how edgy the lyrics were for a 1967 country album.
I didnโt enjoy this at all.
Pretty solid, a couple borderline cringe songs but great album.
This album made me realize how many Cure songs I already knew. But the other songs I hadnโt heard yet just felt like they went on forever. I didnโt listen to the remasters and demos because even though I did like over half the tracks, I just donโt think I liked them enough to enjoy hearing them 2-3 different ways. solid album but wasnโt as much of an experience for me as others have been.
Such a good album. Great to have on anytime, just not sure how often I would specifically seek it out.
Even if this wasnโt my jam this is a really solid album. Super cohesive and fluid sound.
I feel like at a certain point all his music blends together. Doesnโt mean itโs bad but he made so many albums itโs hard to be in love with every single one.
Yeah I just couldnโt find this enjoyable.
Generally vibey album!
What an album. What an artist. I get the hype now.
A great rock album. I personally donโt like the synth-y organ in certain spots but still solid songs!
Loooooved this album. Such an iconic rock sound with the right amount of sleaze.
I already loved this album so I wasnโt upset about listening again. Such a personal classic.
I didnโt have a single song that I even thought to skip on this album. One of my favorites on this journey.
I havenโt been a fan of east coast hip hop so far but this was a much better album than other east coast Iโve heard. Added quite a few of these tracks to my lists.
As someone who only knows the top hits from zeppelin, I really enjoyed the other songs I didnโt know because of how almost experimental they sounded. Killer album.
The first song of this album is very misleading because it sounds like something interesting to listen to, and then the rest of the album is just awful.
A little better than the other T. Rex album I got but still a little underwhelming.
I wasnโt expecting much and figured this would be a fairly decent album but even with low expectations it just seemed very mid and unmemorable.
Better than my previous Elvis Costello album but still not a huge fan.
I thought this would be a great album and I was right.
I do enjoy their sound but not something I would seek out often.
I think I expected to like this more but it still was a great listen.
Iโve only heard a few hits from the smiths and wouldโve never thought to listen to this album but I LOVED it.
Sure the hits are good but some of the other tracks on this album were even better than I couldโve imagined.
So smooth so jazzy. No notes.
Yeah I just didnโt like this at all.
A little too psych for me.
Relatively groovy but not a huge hit for me.
I didnโt like this as much as I expected to, but I do understand why they were as popular as they were. Itโs a very specific and nostalgic sound that is not easily replicated anymore. RIP Brian ๐ค
This was not at all what I expected given the cult like following Iโve heard Leonard Cohen has. Very interesting voice but mildly unsettling.
I think I liked this better than The Bends. Seems so much more experimental and almost ethereal.
No surprise I loved this album since I love everything Queen. But this was a pleasant reminder of how killer this album is.
I canโt lie, I was kinda shocked by this one. I recognized the hits but didnโt expect to like anything else. These dudes rock though.
I thought it was alright at first but I just didnโt like it. Not nearly as hard metal as I expected or wanted.
This was a really cool album but I had a hard time trying to stay engaged because the tracks were so long and seemed very repetitive.
I like her hits and this was a decent pop album but it just wasnโt very memorable.
Even if his voice is annoying at times, this was a great album.
Iโm not finishing this. Iโve never liked an album less than this.
Didnโt realize how many songs I already knew off this album, but I even liked the ones I didnโt know!
Eh. Not a big fan of his in general but I think 20/20 is better.
Such a classic sound and feel. Loved this whole album!
Not necessarily a bad album, but not really my musical style.
I kinda expected to like this more since I do enjoy rock so much more. This seemed more bluesy almost folk than rock to me, which surprised me since Iโm used to the typical stones hits.
Cool sound, pretty unique, not super memorable though.
