Not bad, but it was a pretty standard British rock band, bordering on the new punk wave.

I already knew that I liked a few songs from this album, primarily 1979. Overall, I'm not a big fan of the sound of the vocalist. I can definitely see how it influenced artists that followed and it's an interesting inflection point between punk/grunge into emo, post punk, and alternative rock. I probably can't give it a fair evaluation since I don't enjoy their specific sound. I can't say whether the album had much of a flow to it either, since I kept getting interrupted while listening to it at work. 2 out of 5 stars, I get it, but it ain't for me.

Very catchy, good groves, and psycho killer is a certified timeless banger

That was a great little discovery. It wasn't listed on Spotify, unfortunately, so the experienced may have suffered from the commercial breaks on YouTube. Altogether, I enjoyed it a lot, the sound was soulful and occasionally funky rock with a flair for the melodramatic. The first three songs on the album left me wondering what box to put this artist into, then it hit its peak with Love and Affection, but I was totally in on the vibe by the end. It was good, not great, so I can see how this artist flew under most people's radars. But I would not be surprised at all to see a charting hit happen with the right cover of any one of the songs.

Good album, one true hit song.

Holy shit, now this whole album is iconic. The previous days have been collections of songs by artists. This album is an album of songs that play into each other, recurring themes and high-to-low energy transitions. Thom Yorke really made waves that appeared in other artists. I'm giving it 5 stars because it truly is one of the greatest of its kind.

It was aight, I can see how he had a broad appeal, but I think it just doesn't hit the blues space with much musical novelty. He had a unique vocal style with that, it's kind of a depressed Elvis thing. But it wasn't up my alley.

Great writing and musical composition for this album. Powerful voice, she deserves the flowers she's received.

It was surprising, the first song of the album was pretty thematically different from the rest of it. It put me on my heels in trying to pin down a genre, but honestly, I really enjoyed what started playing in the auto-generated playlist after the end of the album. So while I don't know what it was, I'm pretty sure I like it, haha.

Pretty gener-ock, no hits to speak for either. But some catchiness here and there. Not garbage, but not ground breaking.

Very folksy bluegrass, exceptional talent within the genre. I had listened to her in the past, actually. Despite not being in the mood for the genre, it was an easy listen.

It was actually solid, old school country music. Good songs, unfortunate shout down for SF, haha! Diddyo considers it to be a good one, and now I do too.

Pretty good, I preferred the disc 2 of the album.

Pretty generic hippie rock. I think there may have been some novelty in the mixing of the album, but I wasn't paying quite enough attention to truly say.

Really chill, awesome world music with primary sounds from India, but there seemed to also be some Spanish guitar riffs and possibly Latin rhythms.

Not bad, but no hits really.

I'm going to be listening to this more. Really good, complex, and complete feeling.

Good punk album, it's a quick listen and had some moments that hit well. Altogether though it was too short.

The mixing of the first few songs is meh, and as always Jeru is quite preachy, even in the sub-genre of conscious rap. But when My Mind Spray comes on, the production is on point and the flow is impeccable. There's a reason he's well known in the hip-hop head genre. The beats for the next two songs, Come Clean - E New Y Radio and Jungle Music, are also fresh.

Damn! What a strong opening, great vibes so far. It's Jazz, it's world music, it's danceable.

I've listened to this one before! In fact, 7 nation army was the first song I ever played on an open mic night. But hardest button to button is my favorite track. Was the album ground breaking? Not especially, does it flow well? Not particularly, is it alright? Yeah it's solidly alright.

Very well produced album, but I can't decide if I love her voice or dislike it. It varies from song to song.

It's not bad, but it feels like it lacks individuality or distinction. That's not helped by the cover song. But his overall sound was almost anachronistic feeling. Like an older sound being mixed with newer sounds in a way that didn't mesh super well.

Such a dope album, Dr. Octagon is a weird but extraordinarily lyricist and rapper. It's almost surprising that he doesn't come up more often in Hip-Hop legends conversations. I knew Earth People previously, and I would recognize Blue Flowers, but honestly there's not a real hit on this album. It flows together really well and has some good moments, so totally worth the listen. Okay, hold up, turns out Dr. Octagon is Kool Keith, he DOES come up in conversations about greats of hip-hop! I'm going to dig in further.

It's an icon for a reason. There's several hits, it flows well, and it has moments that totally hold your attention.

It's pretty good, the vocalist reminds me of The Talking Heads, Parquet Courts, and I don't know. I like it, the music is pretty good, but there's haven't exactly been any moments that made me think "damn that's good."

Not a bad album, certainly one worth having on in the background. But it's not one that I think I could dive into. At least, I couldn't dive into it today.

Not bad, punky Rock

Not bad, but it was a pretty standard British rock band, bordering on the new punk wave.

Lol, Flushed from the Bathroom of Your Heart. This album fully deserved its iconic status. That was a fun listen. Johnny Cash might be one of the coolest dudes to ever live, that's just my opinion but it's true.

This is probably the first GOOD album that I ever owned. But I can't remember if I bought Meteora or Hybrid Theory first. I would condiser HT to be the better of the two regardless. When I think of Nu Metal as a genre, I consider Linkin Park to be the icon or GOAT, RIP. Also, the remixed album of this was phenomenal.

Really great rock album, I feel like it was maybe the end of an era. I struggle to think of any rock albums since this that compared. Certainly not many with commercial success.

I liked Buzzin' Fly, made me think of like a very chill hippie song but folksier. This guy makes full use of the xylophone in this album. Also, it's interesting to note that he died at 28, maybe counts as a part of the 28 club. His son was the singer/songwriter Jeff Buckley.

I actually liked this one a lot better than the Tres Hombres album. Also, this is the first instance of a second album by an artist that has already appeared on my 1001 albums generator. I feel like the mastering on this album was significantly better than the previous one. Even if it did feel like it was targeting a more mainstream sound, shoot maybe that's why I liked it more.

Not bad, I enjoyed one track on the album more than others.

Not my jam

This is a quaint little album, really feels like looking into another lifetime. But I know Dolly is one of my mom's favorite people so I suspect that it can't be too far removed from present day. I think the messages are pretty timeless, even if the specifics are a little dated.

The vocals remind me of Tupelo by Nick Cave. It's pretty musically strong, some good jams in there.

Birdland really sounds like the soundtrack to something, like a 90s sitcom or something. Rumba Mama came out of fucking nowhere, hahaha. Turns out that Birdland was a cover of the original version by Maynard Ferguson.

Not bad, musically it was pretty solid.

This is actually really pleasant to listen to. Love Banana Split for my Baby.

This album goes way harder than it has any right to. It slapped. It was great.

I actually just passed up on the chance to see this band in concert. I think I may have made the right choice, they have a couple of songs that I really like, but most of it doesn't quite click with me.

This is one of the most unusual albums so far. He takes it so seriously, and earnestly, but it's like the album is unaware of how niche it is. His dark and raspy voice is perfect for noir. But I'm still not sure what through line to draw for this album. What's its story and theme?

It's like the predecessor or missing link between the British invasion and Ska. These vocals are all over the place, melodramatic and loopy. Musically it's not bad, but I'm just not feeling this incomprehensible impression of The Talking Heads. But then again, them horns are pretty dope in Tell Me When My Light Turns Green.

This is the best White Stripes album, IMO. Fell In Love With a Girl, it's like the first post-punk rock song, a return to rock. I can tell that we are gonna be friends? Yes, yes I can tell. Because the world needed that song, and it's innocent and so relatable.

This album is mostly just background music, to me. I think they aim for a saloon ragtime thing, but the singer's voice lacks the body or bass to hit the sultry feel that I'd be expecting. I feel like her voice is better suited for the blues songs at the end of the album. Walking After Midnight, classic 12 bar blues, but with a cajun harmonica zest.

I'm actually really digging the vibes midway through the album. This is pretty cool psyche/grunge/rock with that 90s acid-rock kind of sound.

Legendary artist, crosstown traffic, voodoo child, and Jimi's cover of All Along the Watchtower are must know songs for classic rock.

It's kind of a lot... I could see it being cool. But it's all over the place, it's more like a random list of musical ideas than an album of songs. Just One Victory is pretty cool.

Good album, it flows together, it has a track that was a hit. But it also has some moments that kind of take you out of the album such as in Neukoln. It made it hard to come back in on The Secret Life of Arabia. Heroes and Sons of the Silent Age though are awesome.

This album crawled so that other indie rock albums could walk and run. It was mostly fine, but not particularly catchy in my opinion. Which is a little surprising, because I love indie rock. I just didn't love this indie rock.

I've listened to this album before, can't say that I'm the most familiar with it though. It's good, it has some hits. Despite not flowing super well, it hits flows between a few songs at a time and then segues with skits. I like conscious rap, but I know it's not for everyone. I think "It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back" is a better album, so hopefully it's coming on the list.

This was actually a very good electronic album. It's not even lo-fi, it's just lower fidelity because of it's age, and I dig it. I couldn't name any tracks off of it a few hours after listening to it, but I would listen to it again. It doesn't really hit a pleasant groove until Duke of Earlsfield, though.

I did not realize until the end of the first track, that it had been one continuous track-26 minutes long! So yeah, this is a piano concert album, it's not bad. It was a beautiful album, very peaceful. I enjoyed it. Yesterday's album and today's album both generated AMAZING algorithm based playlists after they finished playing on Spotify. That's the goal of this whole endeavor, to escape the algorithm dead-end.

It's fine, not a particularly exciting live show. But that's also their reputation, as the original jam band.

It's pretty chill, ambient electronic music. Makes me think of Moby, but a lot more vocals. It's also its own thing, kind of pop-y. Young Offender, what video game did they sample for this song??

I really liked Sweetness Follows. The album is good, very chill 90s alt rock. I don't really know what genre R.E.M. is, to be honest. But they're iconic of the era. I can see why, but I can't exactly say why. They have this approachability, catchiness without crossing into pop. Melancholy, but not sad sound.

This album didn't catch me nearly as well as Hounds of Love does. It's kind of hard to listen to. I do enjoy Kate Bush, and as far as difficult albums go so far in this endeavor, this was certainly not the hardest. I just didn't get anything out of it from two listens.

This was pretty dope, really classic Cubano music. Excellently performed. I enjoyed it so much that it made me want to rewatch one of my favorite feel good movies, Chef.

This sounds like the beach boys, *looks up Brian Wilson*, ah because it is. I don't know why, but his specific sound doesn't hook me very well. Despite that, I can't deny the musical complexity and impressiveness of his work. This album goes easily, with an air of silliness, but it's not bad at all.

That was a bit of a flash in the pan album, only lasted for 33 minutes. I don't know, certainly not as good as a full temptations album.

I wasn't sure until I got to the bones of you, this is dope. The voice and general sounds is kind of dreamy, and calming. Lots of harmonic sounds in the songs. How appropriate that the last song is an actual lullaby.

Old Man isn't just a classic song, it's timeless. I think Neil Young's voice pairs perfectly with the content of this song. Whereas Heart of Gold has been covered well by other artists, ie Charles Bradley. Overall, this is another album that's so short, only 37 minutes long. But it does flow together decently and has some hits.

Not a lot to say about this album. It was surprisingly musically deep/well composed for how relaxed it was.

What a beautiful voice, and it's so clear too. There's nothing novel about it musically, but she was definitely gifted. There's a lot of covers of classic songs, unless she was the original writer of them in which case holy shit, she wrote some widely covered songs. Okay, so I looked it up, and there's 13 covers of traditional folk songs... so yeah no wonder haha.

It didn't really do anything for me

I was feeling the album, and digging the vibe and then Damaged Goods came on and I was like, oh heck yeah I know this hit. Super solid British Punk album.

This is one of the greatest albums of all time. In high school, Metallica was probably my favorite band. It's still incredible.

Much better than the first Bruce Springsteen album that I listened to.

Great album by one of the greatest indie rock bands. So many hits from this album already have a permanent home on one of my best playlists. So... Yeah, it's great and I recommend it.

Once again, Thom Yorke knows how to make an album, not just a sequence of songs. It flows together seamlessly, it hits really interesting musical ideas. It's catchy. Just another solid album.

Quite a long, synthy pop rock song to open the album with, but it wasn't super poppy, just a little poppy. Maxine had some great saxophone in it.

Super short, but it does have Mrs. Robinson

Despite only having one big hit on the album, it was overall great. It had a cohesive sound and it is distinct sound.

I've listened to Graceland tens of times, but never actually listened to this album before. And I love Me and Julio. But now I also enjoy Armistice Day.

Wow, this album was fantastic. It was dark and heavy with uplifting moments. It felt pretty real and raw.

It was fine, but nothing special. It had some quiet moments where it was just vocals over low bass maybe and it reminded me of some of the transitions in a song by Melvins.

Man, such a nostalgic album for me. I think I previously commented on Hybrid theory that it was the first good music that I enjoyed, Coldplay was pretty contemporary with that. But I can thank John, my brother, for getting into Coldplay because of his interest in piano. I was trying to think of what made this so good at the time that it came out, and I don't have a smoking gun answer. Chris Martin did take the singer/songwriter form and made it rock. What's interesting about Coldplay is that they used elements: synth and distortion, that had been explored by other bands in rock genres to push out more extreme sounds but Coldplay felt like the pendulum swinging back inwards to approaching these elements with a softer touch. Basically, what if a singer/songwriter sang about love and used a synth to compliment the piano? Then what if they had a rock band that knew when to go heavy and when to keep it soft? Alright, then apparently you will have a band with generational sound.

Bob Dylan sure knew how to write a song, they oughta give that feller an award or something for it. Shelter from the Storm has a special memory for me. Idiot Wind was fun too. Solid album.

It was pretty good, even if there wasn't anything that particularly stood out to me as a hit. It's a long album, especially if you're listening to the 20th anniversary version.

Not bad, it was a nice mix up from what I typically listen to.

The answer to all world religions is Van Halen.

Punk rock, wasn't bad

LCD has such a cool and unique sound.

Yeah, this album isn't bad at all, but it does feel like the advent of pop. Don't get me wrong, I love the Beatles, but I think this album kind of blends into their discography, aside from the two biggest hits.

Damn, this author sure loves Bruce Springsteen. The album wasn't half bad, by that I mean that half of the album was good.

Despite having a couple of catchy songs, LB is just too cringe for me.

Perfect album. Led Zeppelin nails that bluesy rock sound. They're just weird enough, but their sound is universal. GOAT album by a GOAT band.

Another great band, known for their great albums too. However, I think this album crosses a little too far into skits territory. It ain't bad at all though, and it's still so relevant IMO.

That was a pretty odd album. Not bad but odd.

I enjoyed this a lot more than I expected. I generally think hotel California is over played. But I listened to it with an open mind and quite enjoyed it.

It was good, but the automated playlist that started afterwards was even better.

It wasn't bad, but it didn't speak to me like some of the other world music albums have. It was like a good jam session.

I already love this album! I think it's one of the best singer songwriter albums of all time. I appreciate the use of world music sounds in his songs, I think it really takes it over the top.

That was a strange album, not bad but strange.
