1: dejlig harmoni, aflyt basgangen i blues stykket med saxofonsoloen! 2: meget smuk intro 3: Lydkvaliteten på det her album er virkelig god - knap så fed som live versionen... men den er også svær at slå 4: mixed time sigs, nice... happy go lucky, simplistisk men kreativt 5: classic rythm switchup, nostalgisk på en måde 6: crunchy hits, interessant harmoni 7: Gjorde ikke så meget for mig

Not my cuppa tea... Ride my llama var ret fed til gengæld

Cracked actor is pretty cool

This album will hit at the right time. Not every song is a banger, but a lot are

Too 90's for me. Also I think the mix is weird

Very homebrewed sound. Notes of funk, gospel

Underwhelming somehow. Kudos for being experimental. But I still was left wanting more.

I mean, rock is not my genre. Not to say I hate it. This for me has been one of the more "complete" albums for me. Solid mixing, great performance musically. Pretty sound. I just think Rock is limited in what it can do, especially harmonically.

Did not dislike. Did not really leave an impression on me. Listening was scattered. Some aspects I liked, some i didn't

Disappointed yet again, some songs had something interesting going for them, with odd time signatures and such. Just a bit boring in the long run though... EDIT: This was one of the first albums I reviewed. I've since come to learn there is some MUCH WORSE stuff out there. Bumping this up to a 3

Honestly thought I would hate this... But I was pleasantly surprised! More entertaining than I thought

A very nostalgic experience. I listened to this album in my childhood. This is some solid rock imo

Another lost album from the early years. My elder siblings must've told me about this album, since it brought forth distant memories of listening to it long ago. Quite a special experience. The harmony and production on this album reminds me of Demon Days which is an album that also holds a special place in my heart

Not my thing. A couple of songs by the end did intrigue me more than the others. Still, would not listen again

Really quite a refreshing listen. Really enjoyed Maryan

Did not really have that much of an impression on me

A little all over the place I feel. Not really sure I "got" the instrumental tracks. They sounded just a bit like random jams in the middle of it all

Has some bangers

Not my cuppa. Appreciate the self irony though

Just solid

Did not love it, did not hate it entirely either. On some level I can appreciate it. But it is not something I would listen to normally

Pretty mid

Very, very American. Not the very interesting... but did not actively dislike either.

Started out a bit boring, but picked up as it went along. African music has always done something for me

Such a unique style of playing. So "ugly" in a sense... Still, there's something about it that captivates you, even if it may be "simple" or even silly at times. Glad I finally got around to hearing some Monk

first album had a few songs that were nice. meh overall. not my thing

Did not dislike, but it gets a little repetitive over time. Not necessarily a bad thing; it was sort of entrancing at times.

Not my jam... but maybe ok actually

Just a bunch of the ol' punk. Nothing special here in my opinion. The intro track had me hoping for something more. But nah

I Like it

Not the most varied, but still quality stuff

I can't give this 3, even though I would probably land on 3.5. Love the mix, the band grooves really well together - especially drums and bass

Surprisingly nice! Maybe it just fell at the right time. Really good cleaning music as well. Can't quite give it a 4, but was considering

Okay. Golden years has funky guitar. me like

Busy yesterday. Do not feel I gave this album the attention it deserved. I did like a couple of songs however

Surprisingly pleasant. Bob Dylan if he was good. I'm kidding

Apprecite the experimental aspects of this album, but otherwise not my cup of tea: 2.5 stars

Started out not weak, but I started to appreciate the songs more in the 2nd half

Nothing special. Not terrible

Okay. Was nice listening to while going for an evening walk

I really dig the instrumentals on this album, but it does get very repetitive lyrically and vocally after a while.

Odd... I like Brian Eno for his ambient stuff, which you can hear beginning to creep forth in the second half, which I definitely enjoyed more than the first. Not crazy about this one, but did not dislike it either.

I don't know if this album quite deserves a 2... But I just can't get myself to give it a 3. Actually I think some of the compositions were alright, especially rhythmically. Production-wise not so much. And the vocals and lyrics were just a miss. I had a feeling the album was trying so hard to be "profound" the entire way through which is just a turn-off for me. So there you go: 2.5 stars

Lyrically this album was ass, but the production is really good and makes it listenable.

Don't really have much to say about this one

First track was really promising, but after 2-3 songs they started to bleed together. Production is crisp, maybe even a little too crisp... I think 3 stars

Gets repetitive. Nothing to get excited about. Although surprisingly enjoyable I must admit; maybe because I listened while drunk and half asleep on my floor. Who knows. 3 stars.

Hard to say if this album just came at the right time - hard to say if it's just nostalgia from having sung "White Winter Hymnal" in gymnasium. I did like it more than I expected too. Although I'm not a fan of the genre as a whole, I do appreciate the harmony on this album - the soundscape in general. Sometimes I did want "more" from the harmony; just a tiny bit less cliché and more "out there". However, I can't escape the fact that this album did move me and that must count for something. If I could I would probably give 3.5 stars, but in my opinion it is closer to 4 than 3, so that is what it'll get.

Too long. Too repetitive. Boring. No thanks

Nice blues. Really like the lead singers voice

So. Much. Compression. I feel this album has the sound of trying to sound "disturbed", "dark" etc. without really succeeding. I'm not a big fan of that. Even when songs had ideas I appreciated briefly they turned it into something I disliked. Still, I've heard worse. 2/5

I know it's a remaster but production Is really good for its time

Listened late at night yesterday. Was okay. Can't think of anything interesting to say. Maybe I think it sounded a little too 80's for me.

Hear some gospel. A lotta funk. A bit of fusion as well. Dug it.

Enjoyed this one more than Automatic For The People. Must admit I listened somewhat peripherally; I was playing Minecraft

Two R.E.M. albums in a row! Well, let's get them out of the way I suppose... Bleh. Blablublarghalumebleylalagullumbelum. I don't dislike it. I don't like it very much either. 3 stars

I guess this album came at the wrong time... Was excited for SOMETHING different that was hinted at in the first song of the album, only for it to go back into the same 80's pop-punk uninspiring cliché lyrics mush you've heard a million times with different vocalists. Idk... I'm tired of listening to this stuff. Maybe it doesn't deserve 2 stars but I'm gonna give it 2 as an outlet for my frustration

Refreshing change. I liked Mick Jagger's performance on Monkey Man. Very authentic. I liked the first and last songs especially. Mostly the last I think.

Very dark. Cliché dark sometimes. Although enjoyed more than expected. I just overslept and I'm late for work. Maybe it's the albums fault. IDK. Either way I don't have time to write a review.

Ahead of it's time. Sounds like an album made in the 2020's by some students straight out of an English music school. It was a little funny sometimes. Don't hate it, just not something I would listen to.

Really appreciate the originality of this album. It was quite the refreshing listen after a streak of punk... This album was a strange mix of pop, funk, classical which was pretty cool. I definitely like this album more than most I've heard so far on this list. Although unfortunately I don't quite think I can give it 4 stars.

Okay. Nothing to write home about. Sounds like someone deciding to make an album that sounds both like Led Zeppelin and Yes and failing to be as cool.

Dude, we get it! You like The Beatles. You heard Sgt Pepper's and it blew your mind. You don't need to write an album to tell us. I actually liked the first song. Then it got sort of repetitive. Then I realized they're a Beatles-ripoff. Then I realized every song on this album is a fucking love song except one which is about getting PTSD on the frontline in WW1. Still, better than another punk album.

Liked more than expected, taking genre into account. The first song had me nervous thinking I was about to listen to the album that inspired the sound for every Imagine Dragons song ever. Thankfully the rest of the album did not go down that route.

Did not give this album as much attention as I would've liked when listening. Beetlebum is nice.

A little rough around the edges sometimes. Otherwise pretty neat, I guess...

coldplay

Not too shabby

Not too shabby, liked the active bass. But wtf is up with the last track?

A corny, boring waste of time. Half the instruments sound like they're recorded in another room. Can't quite give it a 2.

I mean, they're good. It's fine. It's good music. But I just don't find that it has anything special too it. It's blues rock. Poison Whiskey is a bit funkay, which is nice. Also, it has #accidentaljazz at 1:33 Free Bird Bee Frird Beard Fur Bur Feared Beared Fur Bearded Fur Fear did Bur Bear did Fur Did bear fur? idk - most likely, I would say - you can ask him. It's okay, he's friendly :) No, don't touch him! I DIDN'T SAY YOU COULD TOUCH HIM! RUN! OH FUCK NO! AAAAAHHHHHHHH! 3 stars

Clean production. Did not understand most of what she sang. Not too bad

Some nice funk. Enjoyed it

I can appreciate that this album is trying to be different. I think Bush can use her voice in a unique and interesting way. However, the music did not really sit that well with me.

Pretty alright. A little boring, but a vibe.

I mean it's nice. But nothing really special imo

Obviously a very talented guy. Too bad i'm not a fan of that "obviously 80's" sound. Really dug the synth funkiness of "Baby I'm a Star" though.

I've always had a strange affinity for this type of music. Some of it is just straight up country and bluegrass. But sometimes it breaks the norms within the genres, which i liked. The last couple of songs didn't really hit home as much. That might be because I wasn't listening as attentively. Anyway, overall I enjoyed it.

Brian Wilson died yesterday. What a coincidence to get this Album the day after. I was pleasantly surprised by a lot of this album. However, my interest did diminish after a few tracks... this one is tough. I think Brian Wilson's composition style is so unique and recognisable though, and I really appreciate that. But I also did get tired of the endless love songs. No, it gets a 4. I don't think I've ever heard something quite like this, and I appreciate that

Boring with somewhat interesting moments sometimes

Man this actually kinda slaps ngl. Pleasantly surprised. It goes kinda corny in a very american way sometimes, kinda like Linkin Park; in a strange eayi kinda like it. They're obviously very talented. Despite the corny parts, I actually think some parts go kinda hard. Well, I'm only 6 songs in, let's keep listening. Okay it does get tiring after a while... A bit too tiring.

Not my jam. But a fun concept nonetheless. Tom Waits + jazz band ain't too bad

What a strange album... Definitely a good listen, with some interesting songs in the mix

Nice experience, did not hit quite as hard as shleep

Great voice, incredible range. Otherwise not that interesting

It's not unpleasant, and the drummer had some chops... Otherwise, boring, sloppy, uninteresting. Why is this on the list?

Hey! I've always wanted to hear this one! As a Beatles fan I've always been curious about the members' solo work. Only song I know is "Imagine". Let's see... Post listen: Right... Definitely enjoyed the second half more. Seemed like he was going for a more "poppy" sound in the first half. Second half had some funky (literally) stuff going on for it. That was cool, I guess. However, I have to agree with the sentiment that the songwriting is just NOT on par with what the Beatles created together. There must've been something in that collection of people... IDK, maybe it's just the nostalgia talking. Anyway, I'm even more excited to get to listen and review some Beatles records again after this; to see whether or not I'm right about them being better...

I think my 16-17 year old self would've really fucked with the song "Heroes". I still think it's quite alright now... because Brian Eno co-wrote it HAHAHA Second half of this is basically and Eno ambient album?

I fucking knew Louis Cole co-wrote "Bus In These Streets". I could hear that shit. Some of the songs were a bit whatever during the first half. But they really started to hit a spot as it went along. Especially from "Friend Zone" and on. "Them Changes" is a classic of course. And them changes really be hitting hard throughout the entire album... sorry

Remarkable... Remarkably boring. This album did basically nothing for me. Maybe 2 is a bit harsh. IDK It just didn't do anything for me

Horniest album so far on this list. It feels like admitting to a guilty pleasure... But I enjoyed it surprisingly much. Great songwriting, with just enough diversity to keep it different and interesting. Groovy. Nice chords. And then again, also incredibly corny and too "90's" sometimes... Whatever, I enjoyed it more than I expected

Surprisingly enjoyable. I thought the Moog and the sitar covers would get corny but I enjoyed it the entire album throughout actually. Well, I grew up with similar sounds. Maybe that helps.

Pretty cool. Some nice harmonies. Did not blow me away, however. But a nice listening experience. Nice to have some "actual" jazz for a change.

Fun. Witty. Entertaining. Does get repetitive after a while. But good stuff otherwise

I did not expect this album to be as pleasing as it was. Very nice. Liked the harmonies. I thought the drums hit really hard for some reason.

Never really "got" blues like this... I mean, one song once in a while is fine. But an entire album of more or less the same shit is just not for me. But it does have its charm, I can't deny it that...

Guess I don't really like David Bowie that much. I somewhat appreciate the sound he's going for, with the more "American style" choir stuff he's going for, and the funkiness. - I just don't think it's that well executed. Also, I did not appreciate the cover of "Across the Universe" but maybe that's just me being stuck-up and close-minded. Waiting for Bowie to "click" for me...

This album sounds a bit like they didn't actually want to record it... It sounds a bit like they got a bunch of surly pub-goers and convinces them to go in the studio and try to produce something that could vaguely ride the Beatles wave. All in all... It's alright I guess

IT'S THAT SONG! IT'S THAT SONG FORM THE BIG LEBOWSKI! Did actually enjoy this more than I expected. I felt it didn't take itself that seriously in that good sort of way. Pleasantly surprised

First 3 songs I really liked. Rest of the album did not quite hit as hard. But I think the songwriting on this in general was just really good.

Didn't do that much for me

Don't really have much to say about this. Liked some of it. Some of it I liked less.

I have to admit I had a hard time listening attentively to this album. I imagine that if I did I would probably have enjoyed it a bit more.

Listened while cleaning. Not much to say about this one

Some of these tracks sound like the shit I made on my laoptop when I was 13 lol. But I actually enjoyed this album in a strange sort of way. It certainly was an interesting listen! Of course a lot of it I found to be corny in that way when Americans try to be edgy and go all anti-christ and sing about explicit stuff like all things sexual and whatnot. Also the "noise" parts I found a bit too much sometimes. But otherwise there were a lot of parts on the album I found myself enjoying more than I expected.

Just a little bit boring and cheesy. Very "clean" and all that; they're not bad musicians. It was just not very interesting

There are some great songs on this album, Pyramid Song is one of Radiohead's best IMO. But a lot of it is also just a bit "whatever" or even downright feels like a joke... I'm looking at you, "Pulk/Pull Revolving Doors"...

Liked this better than eliminator ir whatever it's called. This was not half bad, actually

I mean it's not horrible... It's just not that interesting. There was some funny stuff in there, like as song in groups of 5 (or 10?) But also it's just very poppy... idk

Well... I certainly like this better than Taylor Swift...

I'm sorry once again, I should've listened more attentively... All I can say is it didn't blow me away. Maybe it would've, had I listened a bit more focused

Surprisingly good! High quality on almost every front: instrumentals, vocals, mixing and arrangement. Songwriting was also agreeable, with some interesting stuff going on. However, the style is not completely up my alley. I liked it, just didn't love it, which is why I can't quite give it a 4. But i considered it!

Enjoyed more than expected. Very simple, and did not enjoy the singing style particularly. But the orchestral parts were nice, I suppose. Songs very simple on the surface, but still I found it just different enough to be somewhat enjoyable. Also, "Free At Last" made me strangely emotional...

Sure, could be worse. Better than evermore by Taylor Swift

Bob Dylan writes some entertaining lyrics. The kind that captivates at least my attention. Instrumentally there's not much to say

Enjoyed it more than expected! Not that bad for punk and a little bit funny sometimes

Enjoyed more than expected; mostly some of the harmonic stuff. Sometimes pretty boring.

What an album! Brought me a lot of joy listening to it. I wish I could give it a five, because most of the songs are simply amazing. But three of them just don't quite cut it for me. I'm sorry Stevie. But the man is a genius! He recorded like, what, 80-90% of all the music himself. Definitely a must-listen in my book. Very happy I discovered this and had the experience of listening to it.

Maybe 2 is a bit harsh, but I just didn't really enjoy it that much. I don't know exactly why, but this genre tends to annoy me a little bit

Hmm, not amazing. But iron man does kinda slap

Pretty goof

no thanks

Well put together. They have such a recognizable sound. Bohemian rhapsody is just overplayed in my life, but it's a really good song

Did not have a big impression on me. I know it's sacrilegious but I do see why people still make art even after the release of this album.

Why has the guy furthest to the left on the album cover got such a big head?

When it's not just noise, the songwriting was actually okay

Fukked widdit

First song had me intrigued, the rest was pretty mid

Jon

Just a little too repetitive and boring

Man idk, some of it is pretty nice, but a lot is a little boring and drawn out. Certainly still more interesting than a lot you hear here... Also I appreciate the cultural exposure

Good, but not quite a 4

Waaaaaaaah Wah wah waaaaaaaah Wah waaaaaaah

Not that bad, some songs were ok

Iconic style and all that but not really for me

Surprisingly entertaining! Liked that it seemed not to take itself too seriously. Only thing I can complain about is it being too long for my liking, but I really liked the songwriting on some of the songs

Okay, not that interesting

Certainly a bit unique in its sound for its genre and therefore interesting in its own right, but not amazing

Pretty okay rock

Nothing noteworthy. The definition of mid. One riff cought my attention slightly

Nothing too marvelous imo. Some pretty neat vocal harmonies

Punk, but they can actuuplay, otherwise boring

Pretty horny

Better than expected, like the 'country' sound Edit: had to come back and bump it up to a 4

This album made me feel like getting shot in the head by a Serbian

In all other aspects this album is pretty boring, but that voice does do something Leonard Brohen

Brings nothing interesting to the table, especially for its time. At least imo

Brings me back to the good ol' days... My third year of life

Very pleasant listen

Gets repetitive

Not bad

Meh

The only thing I like about this album is that it is short and that it is sort of entertainingly bad at points.

A nice change in quality compared to all the punk recently. A well composed cohesive experience. Only thing I missed was mayhaps a bit more harmonic variation.

Thought it would be another Beatles ripoff, but it turned out more original than I thought

Was expecting a bit more

She sings amazingly and I don't mind the genre, but was not blown away

Really liked the middle part, especially Kashmir

Some parts I did not like particular well. Others were tolerable. Felt like the album never really started

Forgot the fucking thing was playing most of the time. Intro was a little cool though (I think I'll bump this to a 3)

This is it. The first 1 star in my journey. The only good thing about this album was the samples - which weren't great either - but I don't think anything was added to them. It's just shit. Sometimes it was funny too, like stop this crazy thing, that actually made me laugh. So bonus points for that. But still 1 star. Maybe I'm being harsh, but I still feel if any album deserves a 1 so far it's this one

Alright, a little monotonous. Singing style reminds me of Bob Dylan

The 80's must have been really rough in Brittain if this is what they listened to

Reminded me a bit of my own band, only more dark and emo. Felt a bit monotonous and drawn out after a while, but not entirely bad

Like that jazziness. Theme of the lyrics were a little too much of the ol "shit man" and "shit relationships" for my liking. But overall not a bad experience. I mean her singing and voice are truly unique

I was listening to "third stone from the sun" and was like, "where have I heard this melody before? It's "I'm too sexy"... I feel that in light of other things I've given a 4 this needs a 4 as well. I was surprised at how varied this album actually was

Better than expected. Never would've imagined that that fucking doorbell song was the white stripes, but there you go

First song was a banger. Not as engaged with the rest of the album

Not bad, not amazing. Just missing that special sauce of the Beatles.

Prog Rog

Pretty nice, liked the calm, almost Brian Eno-esque ambient/serene parts

Some good big band stuff!

What was this again? Some shit punk again I think

Was a bit surprised to see that this album was from 2003 after I had listened to it. Thought it would be more recent. I actually enjoyed a lot of the harmonic movements on the tracks and his singing is not bad at all. His voice reminded me a bit of Thom Yorke sometimes. What I DID find lacking was the execution and, especially, the lack of any interesting, or at least intriguing, rythms. I just feel some more intricate drum patterns and a more active bass lines than those pulled straight out of a German Schlager would have done a lot for this album. And it did feel a bit long too, as I was quite honestly relieved when it indeed. BUT, I still think the listening experience was interesting and different enough keep it from 2 starts.

American hard rock. They're good. Just not amazed by it

I remember a friend of mine from grade school going on about how good of a song "Breaking the Law" was. Only now, like, 17 years later or whatever it is, did I listen to it in completion. Definitely my favorite song on the album Rest is alright

Actually some high quality drum and bass/jungle (whatever (sorry))

Wolt commercial music.

Smooth operator Smoooooth operaaaator

Actually liked the secret song on the end of the album most I think

Well produced, experimental and all that... Must admit I was not really paying attention, the album just sort of faded out in the background...

I guess it's pretty cool this was one of the first instances of punk or whatever

Surprisingly nice, just not amazed, Frankly

Recognized more songs than expected

Production was definitely something to get used to. It can be a bit much at times. But really, I did like some of the composition on this album. And it's so strange to hear MJ's sister sing. I find their voices hvad a lot of similarities in their timbre. She, at times, sounds like a female version of MJ

Remember wild horses back from 2018/19. A friend must've shown me. Rest is okay

Remember hearing this some 7 years ago because a friend plugged it. At the time I didn't like it that much. I still don't, but at least I've gained the perspective now, from having listened to so much shit on here frankly, that it's actually some quality stuff, just not my style. Other note: she's very articulate in her singing, so you understand every word, unlike many other artists. That's nice

What a refreshing listen! I am biased; I used to listen to a lot of the Beatles, but this was never an album I gave much attention. But this album just confirms to me their talent in songwriting and their charm. To think this came out in 64 with all the shit that's been released since! Just a very pleasant, satisfying even, listen. Not every song is tip top, but the songs that are good I find great enough for them to bump this up to a 4

Just great songwriting, what can I say

Feel almost obliged to give this a certain score. Unfortunately my listen quality was lacking when listening to this album, but I did still enjoy it.

Didn't hate it, didn't love it

This one's tough for me... This is one of the first albums I ever heard, so obviously it has a special place for me. On the one hand I think the idea of this album is so creative, really ahead of it's time. Production (on some of the songs) is also just outstanding, mix is great. And then you have other songs which are just not quite there for me anymore. I don't think this is peak Gorillaz, I think demon days takes that title (still confused as to why it's not on the list if this one is). In my heart I want to give it a 4, but a very weak one. I might come back to bump it down to 3 later...

Misogyny

What an entertaining listen! A great entertainer, Johnny Cash, especially in that setting, feels like he was made for it. My father showed me a clip of "San Quentin" when I was a wee lad, so it's fun to hear the whole thing now. Although, I sort of wish I'd seen the concert with video

Sort of freaked out by his voice sometimes... Have to be honest and say I didn't particularly enjoy it. Although again, I didn't hate it, and guess it was okay... I'm gonna be kind and give it 3, even though I'm leaning towards a 2... Might change my mind

Okay. I slept like shit. I don't have it in me to give an extensive review

Fuck idk man, it is kind of annoying somehow. I feel he tries to be interesting in his harmony in an uninteresting way.

Didn't find it that interesting and a little shit

The songs are well written. Only thing I could complain about is parts of the production. At times it's slightly Corny as well. But all in all a very pleasant listen

I mean it's quality stuff, I'm just not that big on the genre

Disheveled and uninteresting. Sounds like demos he recorded right before going to bed, on the verge of falling asleep. Accidentally listened past the original album into the extra fluff. It was even worse. Thankfully I realized my mistake and terminated my listening immediately.

I just love this. The combined musicianship on this is outstanding. Particularly, I have an affection for the playing of McCoy Tyner. But most importantly, this album had a very strong emotional effect on me. It moved me in the indescribable way music can sometimes. Not the first time listening, but the first time with this reaction. Maybe it finally 'clicked' this time, or it just came at the right time

Not bad. Liked the inclusion of flute. Not something I go crazy for, but I can appreciate it's quality.

Long drawn and boring, ut also somewhat enjoyable. Idk. I'll just give it 3 for now

It got that special kind of 90's corniness, of course, but otherwise it's not that bad. It's pretty well produced. Not so say it's necessarily good though. It's remarkably good at requiring very little attention to listen to. Sometimes almost forgot it was playing

Fit surprisingly well for the days task, which felt slightly adventurous. Always a fun experience to hear songs (two in this instance) that one recognizes from elsewhere. Close to a 4, but not quite

That vibrato is too much

Hmm, don't really know what to say, probably would've enjoyed it more if I listened actively, bit it very easily faded into the background. Didn't hate it

What is up with Damon Albarns infatuation with hellish circus music? Album was not too bad. I liked some of the guitar riffs

I really like that a natural in the choir in the beginning of the chorus. Otherwise the album is okay.

Funny how much trap influenced the pop scene at the time. It's well produced and all that. Did not "like" it per se, but didn't have particularly adverse feelings either. And I did actually like certain parts. It's a threeeeee

I think they should've put more compression on the guitar on "Find somebody" I basically don't remember a single song a day after listening

More blues Rocky than I anticipated. Still not bad i guess

Didn't really do that much for me

What was this again? Some punk I think

Not bad honestly. For me it had manageable levels of 80's

Good stuff! I think I'll give it a 4, a lot of good songs

Okay

I think they like Radiohead... I feel this album teased the potential to be something really cool, but they just don't quiiiite hit the mark

Why is the cover Mr. Tumnus screaming?

So what do I think of this album? Well... oh wow... so... tired... *snore*

Don't know what to say

pretty generic I feel. They're okay musicians though, and my generation is pretty fun

I'm a little undecided on this one... for now. There are so many great, great songs on this album, frankly, it's quite unbelievable. However, I did sort of lose focus in the last half of the second disc. I mean, that is probably both an expression of the album being a little to long (at least to my liking) and - with heavier emphasis - my lack of ability to focus. I feel I should probably come back and give the last half a second chance, because I feel if I could learn to dig that it would definitely get a 5. Actually I might just do it now. BRB Ah... I very much dislike when spotify does this; when it includes songs on the album that were not included in the original release... Normally I check, but I forgot to this time. Turns out all the songs that were included are the ones where I lost my concentration. So... I gues that makes it a 5! Incredible album

Better than expected

This is probably my favorite David Bowie album thus far. I feel I am supposed to like it more than I do. I just can't get his music to click like I feel it does for others.

Don't quite understand why this album gets so much shit in the reviews. It's not great. But I don't think it's terrible either. I will say it gets pretty repetitive however. But I'll give it 3 still

Pfunk. Flea has some sick fucking lines on this Album. Also his tone on some of the tracks is sick

Where royals?

I mean, they're good. I can just never get them to really HIT you know?

What the fuck

Came into this album with low expectations. Was expecting some other boring singer songwriter thing you've more or less heard before. But I actually liked it! Vocals were not the main selling point for me. Don't get me wrong, he's not a bad singer. But instrumentals and composition were what got me. Also, I think the setup for "Eternal Life" was pretty damn neat. So different in style and energy from everything else just after a quiet song. Caught me off guard in a really satisfying way! All in all a surprisingly pleasant and pleasantly surprising experience.

Nothing remarkable imo

I don't go crazy for this album, but it has so many classics, solid songwriting and even though it's not the most complex stuff, sometimes maybe bordering on corny, part of me likes the slight amount of corniness... so I'll give it 4 for now. Maybe I'll come back and change my mind...

Just too many good songs and classics to give this less than 4

I feel obliged to give this 4.

sure

Impressively uninteresting

Such a great entertainer. Must admit I enjoyed "At San Quentin" more though

Bongers

Damn I don't know about this one. I do think it's some quality stuff, I just wasn't blown away by it. In terms of "quality" I would give it a 4... But I think I have to give it a 3 for now. Might come back and change my mind

Strange album. Sounds a bit like the feeling of time standing still in a strange way. Don't know how to explain it. I'm hungover cut me some slack

Honestly pretty good. Close to giving it 4

Don't remember that much of it, only that they seemed talented, but the compositions and the album were a bit all over the place

Some more weird shit. Another album that's a bit all over the place. Some of the songs we're okay.

If you want to listen to a guy moaning and screaming into a microphone over a constant flurry of kicks, this is the album for you!

Sure! not terrible. A bit watery

psychadelic. nice to draw to

lord forgive me for this but i think i have to give it 4 shit goes kinda hard

No

Some bands just sound undeniably like themselves. Yes is like that for me, so far. Only song I really knew beforehand was Roundabout. I had a good experience listening. I'm feeling generous. I'll give a 4 :)

Good! Don't know what's up with the farts at the end though

Ok. Not the biggest fan of the vocals or song themes

a little boring

last couple of songs were pretty cool, made me think of brian eno. turns out he also helped on this album.

Am I become boomer, the enjoyer of rock?

idfk man im giving so many albums 3 idk what to do. I did not hate it. then again i think it all sounded a bit like itself. URNDERSTANDING

Ramoans

This guy looks like my friends girlfriend

My dad used to play his own Slade home brewed cassette "mix tapes" in the car on longer trips. I think I recognized one of the songs from this album as being on the cassette he used to play. This is what I think this project can be good for; rediscovering old songs you've completely forgotten about and wouldn't have come across otherwise. Especially when it's music you don't really dig that hard.

Wish it had more of Nile Rodgers insane guitar

Why does so much English music have that hellish circus music quality to it?

idk

Didn't really listen sorry

Actually pretty good!

hmm

Somehow when I saw the album cover I "knew" the top rating on the ratings page would be a 1 star. I actually thought it was pretty cool, this album. Only song I found questionable was the one with rap early on. I'm incredibly hungover

4?

roque

This is not a beatles album I've listened to that much. Or at least I felt so initially. After this listen it does feel very homely in a strange sort of way. it is just a strange album... feels sort of out of character for them, like it doesn't quite fit with the rest of their discography... I kind of like it

Not that bad!

Man there was one song that sounded straight up like something from a commercial. Still I feel it would be wrong to give it 2. Even though its not something I would listen to normally, some of the songs were not half bad

It's a little monotonous, but I think all in all it's a pretty pleasant listen

Certainly not amazing. But I was NOT expecting a quintuplet groove at all. I feel obliged to give it no less than 3 simply for that matter

Growing up as a non-American influenced pretty substantially by American media, listening to this album was pretty strange. Somehow, it managed to simulate just a tinge of nostalgia for a time in the US I've never experienced first hand... which is a little special in my opinion. That being said, I would never really listen to this kind of music on the regular.

First part was a little cool, being primarily instrumental... And I don't remember much of the rest of it, to be completely honest

Pretty alright I guess.

The first track was actually pretty cool, then it tapered off

Bluse

Different for once!

Liked it more than expected

Doing this project is at times a great lesson in the wonders of delayed gratification. Finally something unique and interesting! Björk's voice is really captivating to me. Melodies are good. Compositions are different and experimental, but done in a (mostly) tasteful manner if you ask me. I appreciate that they dare to be what they are. The album's sound is very 90's at times; sometimes to it's strength and sometimes to it's weakness. For now, I'm also a bigger fan of roughly the first half. But this is definitely an album I'll have to revisit! Highly recommended listen

alright

I don't know about this one. Obviously a different experience since it's a score. I did forget this when I was listening and I kept thinking "why is this on here". I don't want to give it 2, cause it's actually fine. I just don't really feel like giving it 3 either... I'll give it 2. No I'll give it 3

Another fine album

First couple of songs had me imagining how it must've been to be alive, even young, during the release of this music. Then I sort of lost a bit of focus throughout. It does get a bit repetitive. Did still like it overall though

Let's be honest, it's a little shit. With how I've rated previous albums and how long it has been since I've given an album anything below 3, I tried to find good reason to give this a 2. But I couldn't help liking it, or parts of it, at least a little bit. Maybe I'm just a changed man. I'll give it 3

Why does he sing like that?

Shit I have to rate this. I don't think it was amazing, but I do find it to be of better quality than a lot of stuff you find on here... I think I'll give it a 4. I can always change my mind

Like Liege and Lief I quite liked one (or two in this case) of the songs, while the rest were sort of ok. By no means bad! But not quite a 4

Still got that Beatles charm. Just don't know if it quite cuts it for a 4

I mean, they can play. But why the fuck is a live album on the list when they have so many other albums as well?

This album slipped a lot into the background for me. Except for when the singer was feeling themselves a bit too much. Didn't really care much for that

Pretty alright. That drummer had some nice moments. Pretty solid playing.

This is why I'm still doing this list! Such a pleasant surprise! A really interesting mix of genres, the most prevalent being funk and a jazz I think. But man... This was right up my alley. A lot of the songs were, at least. I don't think it was as strong in the tail end. But other than that it just kept surprising me! Shout out to the bass player on the first track with that tone, man... More like this please

Better than punk

Good entertainer. Brilliant idea to get the crowd to sing for you!

Most tolerable Elvis album so far

Nice to have something different for once. It was good, Avery strong 3 in my opinion, but not quite a 4

Seems to be a lot of negative reviews for this album. Don't quite get it. Some songs we're not that great, maybe, but otherwise I don't think this album was bad at all! It's funny, whenever an album is different, e.i. uses non-diatonic chords or melodies, modulates or whatever, people typically seem to dislike it. What a shame. It's not an amazing album per se, but I remember feeling it was done mostly in good taste imo.

Much prefer this over Elvis

Didn't really think much of it initially. Then "who sees you" came on and it REALLY hit the spot!

Nah. This is one of those albums where you think "God, it must be over soon, right?" and you're barely halfway. Hard to put it specifically, but in a way I felt this album just took itself a bit too seriously, like it tried a little too hard to be cool/profound.

I mean he has a great voice and... Sorry I'm pretty hungover and I'm not in the mood to be thorough. I wasn't amazed

This wasn't so bad as some of the reviews made it out to be

Better than expected!

Perhaps the most 90's album ever But not in a bad way!

Quite fun learning where songs you "know" actually come from

Shit mix A little creative at times Mostly not that creative Repetitive In my opinion Feel like the band could be pretty good with proper execution and a mix that doesn't sound like cardboard

I mean they're good - it's not terrible - but it's not great let's be honest

1: Damn... We suck! 2: Wait... Why don't we just make an album that sounds shit on purpose? 3: You're a genius! Can't quite give this a 1 because I actually did appreciate parts of it

There are some really sweet chords on this! I'm kind of thankful that I never heard this album even though I was a pretty big Beatles fan. It felt like discovering an extra, secret album.

better than expected... darn

Am I giving this 4 simply because it's funky? Maybe...

Don't really have anything to say about this one. Not bad, not that great either. A little cliché perhaps, yet not quite a 2 I think...

Man I don't really know The songs are kinda hit or miss for me. Some are pretty dope, others are "meh" I think 3 for now, might bump it up later

Not too shabby Liked some of the songs Very 80's

Dig the vocals

I mean it's not terrible, but I really didn't think it was that great either Don't know if it deserves 2, but here we go for now

Not the best Radiohead album, but certainly not the worst either. Bah... Go on, just take your 4...

Feel like this was the predecessor for so much shit music in the 2010's... and maybe some good as well

Do I want to listen to a french pedophile murmuring into a microphone over some sloppy soft-funk instrumentals? No thank you

Started off pretty generic (imo) but had some pleasant surprises along the way. Dig the first chord in "She's so Loose"

Elvis if his voice was actually nice

Faded into the background surprisingly easily

Better than expected, I guess. Not sure I liked the singing, and the mixing and instrumental performances felt strangely soulless... I must admit some of the compositions were pretty nice or interesting

Damn! Rap/hip hop never really hit for me. But immediately I dug the production on this... a lot! Just flashed some tracks again. Production is sublime... I've always been more drawn to the instrumental side of music more than the lyrical. But I have to say, from a pure craftsmanship perspective, the lyrics on this are really, really well put together. Also, "What's Golden" was one of those songs you've heard ages ago and since almost completely forgotten about. Then when you hear it you have no clue when or where you know it from... It's a very special experience - another bonus of doing this list. Such a pleasant surprise, definitely something I have to go back and listen to again sometime.

Ok

I find the songs like the first couple on this album a little funny to be honest. Gradually I actually came to appreciate some of the production and writing on this album, even though it is very 90's. Not the biggest fan of the singing, even though she's "obviously" a great singer. I think it's a bit too... flashy - or overdone I guess...

Not as weird as his other album which I prefer. Still, not bad. I like the interlude with the "game" This album seems very spirited by a very young-man-happy-go-lucky-hopeless-romantic type of energy. Very 70's

Nostalgia factor. First Bob Dylan album i ever heard. Then I saw him live and he ruined himself for me. This is the first listen of this album since. Better than I remember:)

Not the worst!

Nah, I'm sorry

Must admit I listened while working but I think it was good

I think it was boring (But maybe 2 is too harsh)

Intro track was better than expected. Must admit my attention fell off throughout the album

Huh, funny to see a rateyourmusic recommendation here. Let's see what it's about:) maybe an early birthday gift? Maybe I'm being too generous... Whatever, my rating system is all over the place anyway. I cann always give it 3 later if I want

I mean, it's good. The first tracks are no doubt classics. In my opinion it's just a bit too self similar. I think the songs just sound a bit too much like each other

Great musicianship. The album definitely shines on the first tracks. But it's short enough to make up for it. 4? sure, for now

Best The Doors album so far

It's okay. Kinda sounds like music an AI would generate.

Impressed by the variation in songwriting. Should I give it 4? I should probably give it 4

Good stuff!

Better than expected

Better than expected but still 3 for now

Shit. I have to admit I kinda like Iron Maiden... shit

More like this please. I little happy-go-lucky at times but all in all such a pleasant surprise!

Pretty alright. Bordering stomp clap and that 2010's sound which is not great

I mean it's quality stuff. It's just not really my thing

Meh, I like iron maiden better, this takes itself a bit too seriously

Good because short

Don't think it was that bad. Pretty nice, pretty relaxing just to have in the background

Better than expected! Simple but good.

classic ive never heard before

Ah shit I don't know. I actually really think the songwriting is great. But it is on the cornier and overly happy-go-lucky side at times. My concentration fell off at the end of the album, so I think I will have to return for this one. For now: 3. Potentially 4 in the future.
