There was one popular song (which isn't bad) and a whole bunch that sounded like they were trying to annoy the listener with weird sounds. I wouldn't buy this album, and I would not voluntarily listen to it ever again.
I have listened to plenty of S&G over the years. That said, this album was new to me, except for a couple of songs, and to say it was a disappointment would be an understatement. Side one is a "concept" album? The concept of putting out garbage and collecting money for it?
I have never listened to an entire jazz album before. It is good, relaxing music, with some nice grooves, too.
When an 8:48 song is the fourth longest on the album, you know the boys were jammin' Some great blues here and 23 minutes of whipping post to finish it off.
Going into this, I think I knew two Johnny Cash songs. I'd like to hear some more studio recordings as I like his voice. He seems to have fun with his music as well.
This is the first album that has come up that I own. In the MTV era, the videos for Panama and Hot for Teacher were fun. Jump holds a special place as a Cubs fan, as they used Jump in the late 80s for when the team took the field. A good album, although I think I still prefer earlier VH overall.
The second jazz album that has come up for me is. I am learning that I like the drumming and bass in jazz, but I am not crazy about horns, especially brass. They seem to overpower the rest of the music. I don't think I would want to listen to this again.
I was going to write something witty, like: It's no wonder it was chosen for a horror movie; it's horrific. But in the end, all I really want to say is: No thanks.
My ninth album since starting this. The first one to get five stars. As I rock out to this gem for the umpteenth time. There is not much to say or break down, I'm just going to listen and let my ears be happy.
Can? More like Cannot. As in I cannot listen to that shit.
It opens with Light Flight, and as the instruments start, I'm thinking, okay, this could be cool. Then a voice. My ears screamed, "Make it STOP!" The vocals on this album are brutally bad. Are they trying to hurt my ears? I think this might have been a Cold War project where they recorded this so MI6 or the CIA could use it to torture Soviet spies and get information out of them.
I usually adhere to the philosophy that everything made after 1990 sucks. And I am usually right, at least in my own opinion. This, however, proves the exception. It didn't suck. Once again I wish the ratings would allow for a half star. This is a 3.5 all day. It falls short of my requirement for a 4, so 3 it is. But a strong 3.
So, can gastrointestinal issues be used as an instrument? The sound at the start of Broken English sounds a lot like flatulence. Her voice isn't much better. I'm starting to think the author of 1001 albums just wants to see how much crap people will listen to.
There's 39 minutes of my life I'll never get back.
Is he...trying to imitate Dylan? drunk? or singing with marbles in his mouth? All of the above? The only list this should be on is 1,001 albums to avoid at all costs.
More and more I am convinced the author of 1,001... wants to see how much shit we will put up with. A smattering of must have truly great albums to keep hope up. However, my hope is fading. Eight straight days with the best rating a 3, and only one of those. Giving this a 1 star seems generous.
Noise is not music. Can we give negative stars?
I get why this is on the list, and why people like it. Not really my cup of tea, but it doesn't make me want to "change the station" The first song sounds a lot like a TV commercial.
Almost....There is some cool instrumentation here, and some good drumming. But the singing is terrible. A somewhat generous 2.
Carcass and Mirage keep this from getting one star. If we had decimals it would be a 1.6, so a very generous 2.
On the plus side, its the first album I've gotten all week that hasn't had me apologizing to my ears for putting them through an awful album. On the plus side, I still owe my ears some much better stuff. 3.00000001
I was hopeful this would be good, I'd settle for okay. I got neither. It just isn't very good at all. another 2
"Elvis didn't die, he just went home."-Agent K, MIB. When Elvis came out I'm sure some thought his music was from another planet. The tunes are catchy, and I don't hate it. But I wouldn't run out and buy it either. 2.5 rounded up to 3, in respect for the king.
I own one Fleetwood Mac album. This is not it. Sometimes bands get criticized for always sounding the same. Sometimes they get criticized for sounding too different. This would be the latter. Outside of Sara, nothing feels like Rumors. That's too bad. 2.5 rounded to 3.
Great band. Not their best album. 3
Sunshine is a wonderful sentiment and a nice song. Superstition is fantastic. Stevie lets it rip, and it makes my ears happy. The rest of the album, however, is pretty meh. One more good track and this would get a 4, but alas, even with the 6/5 Superstition, a 3 is all it is.
Nope. Too many weird sounds interrupting what might be a nice groove.
Another one to toss in the trash.
My ears would like to file a lawsuit for subjecting them to this crap
On the bright side, it's not a 1. I have had enough of those lately. It's also not a 4 or 5. Is it a 2? Is it a 3? Mostly it's just there. It doesn't suck, but I wouldn't pay money for it. Feeling generous today 2.5 rounded up. Yawn.
A famous album that is well-loved. I just can't get into it. I don't hate it, but I wouldn't buy it. 3
Another album on the wrong list. It should be on 1001 albums to avoid at all costs. Utter garbage. 1 star is generous.
It has been 30 days since I've had an album worthy of anything over a 3. Who would break the streak? Who woulda thunk it? The Who! 4.
Pleasant enough. Not something I'd buy, but I don't hate it. I would have liked it more if Linda's vocals had been more prominent.
Why? Why is this crap on the list? Someone test the author of 1001 for utter stupidity. Or that he was working on two lists and got them confused, the second being 1001 albums to avoid at all costs. Because this, like far too many others fits that list much better.
Fun time party band gets serious. It doesn't work for me. If you are a fun time party band, be yourself. Plenty of others lamenting about the world, and quite frankly, plenty of others do it better. 2
I have heard this many times as I own a copy. I like it, but I don't get excited to listen to it, and while I have heard it often, it's been a while since I put it on. And I noticed, I don't have anything from this album on my Spotify playlist. I like it. I don't love it. It's as 3.5 as it gets. I'll ruminate on whether that results in a 3 or a 4 in the morning. It just doesn't quite meet my criteria for a 4. 3 it is.
Terrible. Awful. Garbage.
Every once in a while, one of their popular songs is a guilty pleasure. But I can only take the B52s in small doses. And what isn't popular is just plain weird. An entire album is just too much weirdness at once. 2.
I like the music. The voice, not so much. Would be interesting to hear another artist cover some of these, I think there is potential if someone with a good voice would sing them. (Or maybe just a voice I like) 2.
I knew who Carole King was. I have heard some of the songs. Never listened to the full album before. She is an excellent song writer. This is hard to rate, because it is very good, but not really my thing. It doesn't meet my criteria for a 4, but a 3 feels like I am short changing her talent. So I will break my normal scoring system, and bump this up to a 4.
ELO, a band I like, but don't love. Some really fun songs on here. While listening with my headphones on, I took a peak at some of the reviews. Some complained that all the songs sounded alike. Maybe, except "jungle" which, to me felt out of place. Or I just didn't like it. This album is a 3 all day. Except for one thing. Mr. Blue Sky is on it. Mr. Blue Sky is a plus one all on its own. So 4 it is!
Seriously? This is on the list? WTF! 1,001 albums that are pure garbage. The author of the book must be doing some kind of psychological experiment to see how much crap we will put up with.
I don't get it, the arrangement makes no sense. Just a bunch of instruments doing their own thing. Not enjoyable.
? If you are going to give me Beck, put Jeff in front of it. Otherwise, no thanks.
The Cure were popular when I was in college. I never got into them. This album reminded me why. It's not awful, but really just boring. It could be a cure though, a cure for insomnia.
Great, the music that goes with people ordering half caf triple pump caramel whatever. Thanks, but no thanks. 2
Three hits on this album that I like. They are fun, and I might even give the volume a nudge up when they come on. The rest of the album left me saying, So? So what? Sounds that annoyed my ears. It's like they're from a totally different artist. Took an easy 4 down to a 3.
What a voice, sense of humor, and interaction with the audience. Pure talent. Not 100 percent my cup of tea, but I still enjoyed it.
Record label: Billy, how about a "best of"
Billy:: Here
Label: These are all new
Billy: Give it a few years.
Label: Holy Schnit!
Damn this is good. 5.
And another one that should be on 1,001 albums to avoid at all costs. What garbage.
It's fun, I knew most of the songs. But, would I seek it out? Would I intentionally play it? Probably not. 3
I'll keep it pithy. This is great. 5.
Good voices, I get why people like it. Not really my thing. Can't ding em though. 3.
I own this....on cassette. Yes, I am old. This album would flirt with 5, but Mother is so bad, it disqualifies it from such an honor. In fact, Mother is so bad, I considered bringing it down to a 3. But in the era of digital music, I can skip it easy enough and pretend it doesn't exist. So 4 it is.
There is a fair amount of David Bowie that I like. Unfortunately, not much of it is on this album. 2.
Hmmm. Dreamer is good. Bloody well right is good—some interesting stuff, and some really dull stuff. I don't love it, I wouldn't buy it. I wouldn't turn it off or change the station. So a 3 it is.
I can't carry a tune or play an instrument, and yet I feel like I could have done a better cover of satisfaction. That was painful. In general too quirky for my taste, and this album doesn't even have whip it, which at least the video made me laugh. 2.
My ears do not like her voice. 2
An icon, I don't hate it, I don't love it. It's as 3 as it gets.
If you close your eyes, you can envision yourself in a 50s club listening to this, booze flowing in a smokey room as the band plays and Fats sings. Although I don't think it would be too memorable, or something you would tell everyone they should do it too. 3.
C'est nul, zéro étoile serait généreux
These talentless knuckleheads owe my ears an apology.
I can dig it. But in small doses. 2.7875 rounded to 3.
This is the second Talking Heads album that has been presented on this list, and I must say, it is two too many, so it gets a two. I have discovered I really don't care for them. A somewhat generous 2.
Legends. Pioneers. They inspired many others, and respect is given for what they accomplished. At this point in my life, a bit too harsh for my taste. A bit too dark. Do I hate it? No. Would I seek it out to listen to? No. RIP Ozzy. 3.
You have got to be kidding me? 1 because I can't give it the zero it deserves.
This is a strange one for me, I own this on CD. Usually if I buy it, it is because I know I really like it, and it should be a 4 at a minimum. However, while I could compile a list of Neil Young songs that would be a 4, or more, this album comes up well short. 2.5 rounded up.
Critically acclaimed. Much loved. So, it's me, not you, I just don't care for it, or her. Sorry. 2
88 albums in, and this is the 34th one star piece of crap that I did NOT need to listen to ever. 1. And that is generous.
Even in 1977 without the benefit of the internet and social media, you could over hype a mediocre (at best) band and get it to sell a crap ton of records. But lets be honest, this sucks. 2.
Come on. This stuff is NOT something anyone needs to listen to
I don't dislike it. I don't love it. It's okay. About as 3 starts as you can get.
These are the types of albums that are hard to rate. Karen had a lovely voice, and there is a lot of talent there. But for me, this is just way too sappy. I don't want to listen to it. I really can't even muster a 3, so 2 it is.
As I listen to this, I am still deciding on what I will rate it, but whatever it is, it will get a bump, for no other reason than the David Grohl and Taylor Hawkins inducted Rush into the RnR HoF. Okay, I'm done. I wanted to like it more than I did. 2.5 bumped to 3.
Club "music" sucks donkey farts. This is one stinky donkey. 0 starts if I could.
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz 2
Hmmm. Just a gigolo. I've heard it from David Lee Roth. Jump, Jive, and then you Wail, I've heard it, from the Brian Seltzer Orch. This is fun in many areas. Not sure how often I'd listen to it, but I gotta give it's props. 3.33.
It's there. It's not making me scream turn it off. It's not making me want to turn it up. I don't think I'd seek it out. Nothing goes to the playlist. 2.5, rounded to 3.
A couple of well known songs that I like, and some really weird stuff. Overall, meh.
Whiskey Tango Foxtrot is this?
His only album. With good reason. Good riddance. 1 star
Some good with some I don't like, more I don't like. 2
Yup, that's Judas Priest. Fun if I am in the mood. 3
How is this on the list? Nobody needs to hear it. It failed, because it sucked donkey farts.
Not a big fan of punk. Not a fan of these guys at all
Again with this POS?!?!?!? Enough already. 0 starts.
I knew a couple of the songs, I was pleasantly surprised how much I liked the entire album. 4.0
They should rename this band the Hoovers. Because they really suck.
When I see or hear Iron Maiden, I think of Bill and Ted's excellent adventure. This is as 3 as it gets. Don't love it, don't hate it, wouldn't turn it off, wouldn't seek it out.
Blech. Another one that makes me wonder if the author wouldn't have been better with a list of 500 or even 300 albums. Far too much trash on this list.
A solid 3. I like it enough to listen, wouldn't seek it out or buy it. Wouldn't turn it off, or get pissed that it is on this list.
Wow, a two day streak I'm not giving an album a 1 or 2. It's a miracle!! I like REM, I really like some of their stuff. And some is meh. This album has a balance of that, I'd say 3.33, so it gets rounded down to a 3. The good, I wasn't real familiar with Drive, and I liked it.
Hmmm. It's not bad. But it doesn't grab me, and say "turn it up." Or even play me again. 2.75 rounded up to a 3.
I am now convinced the author of 1001....is doing a psychological experiment to see how much crap people will listen to. TRAGIC is appropriate for this. I think revenge is in order, lock the author in a room, and on full blast play every album I rated a one. See if you still think they deserve a listen, jerk weed!
I've heard of Coldplay. Who hasn't? Often the butt of jokes. I must admit that I had never intentionally listened to Coldplay. So I welcomed this as a chance to hear what it was about. I mean, to be the butt of so much hate, you have to have had success, which also means people like you, even if they do not admit it. Did not like the opening track at all, and thought this was going to be a slog. After that, it was okay, until Clocks, which, I have heard, and I really like that song. (Do I need to go into witness protection now that I admitted it) :-) Then, the album declined. Making it tough to rate. A few okay songs, a couple not so good, a couple bad, and one I really like. In decimal form 2.55, so I will round it up to a fairly generous 3.
I am 125 albums in, and this is my third Miles Davis album. That is two too many. When I listen to this along with other Miles Davis it sounds like it's just a bunch of instruments doing their own thing, I see no logic to the arrangement and it is not enjoyable, in fact with this album it is downright annoying. 1 star, no more Miles Davis please.
Shaking my head This isn't bad, but why is it on the list. What makes it so special I have to listen to it? I'm sure dude had his fans, but it's just kind of there, and at times, not very good. 1.8 rounded up to 2.
Elvis, you are no Elvis! But you try on some songs. You also try to be a bluesman, a punker. Makes me wonder, can you just be you? Feels like a cover artist with original material, but still trying to sound like others. IT doesn't work for me. Not horrible, but I might change the station if it came on the radio. 2.25 rounded down to 2.
This is the 7th straight day an album will get a 1 or a 2. Please generate something worthwhile tomorrow. 1.0
We are on a serious roll of crap here.
It's okayish. But there are better Bowie offerings, this does not need to be on the list. 2.49 rounded down to 2.
Way, way overrated. Maybe it works if you are tripping on acid or otherwise stoned and in another dimension. But stone cold sober, this just isn't very good. A generous 2.
If it comes on the radio, I'm turning the dial. Bleech. 2
In my opinion, Neil is better when he rocks. Cinnamon Girl is great. When he's folksy or whiny, meh, no thanks. Cinnamon Girl = 5 Everything else = 1 to 2. Total 2.
I like the music, the singing not so much. The singing doesn't seem to match the sound, at least to me. Better than a 2, not really a 3, feeling generous today, 2.5 rounded up.
Club music sucks donkey farts. 1
I have no musical ability whatsoever. This sounds like I walked into a recording studio with instruments around and banged on them for a while. With the record button pushed, and some idiot actually released it. 1.0 Because there is no option for negative numbers.
I do NOT like rap. It does not need to be listened to. If you like it, great, knock yourself out. But zero need for it to be on this list.
Thanks, but no thanks. 2 hours and 15 minutes of "life sucks" music? Delightful. NOT.
How does an act this bad get one album, let alone a second. 0 stars if I could.
hmm. Interesting, good voice. Really good voice.
0.000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Another album that should be 1001 albums that make me want to rip my ears off. Must be what Van Gogh listened to.
I was all of two years old when this was released. But this, along with other albums of this era, really resonates with me. Grace's voice is easy on the ears, and captivating. The instruments bring me in. There are a couple of songs that feel like fillers, so a strong 4.
You've gotta be kidding me with this crap.
Here's a street sign for you: STOP. In other words, stop making music; you're not good at it.
Seems like lots of people like it. Even really like it. I'm not one of them. Too weird for me. 2
They get a lot of hate. And, add me to the list. Bleh.
Some of this is good-ish. Too much of it feels like a Beatles Wanna Be Band. Yeah, could be better. 2.65. Round it up to a pretty generous 3.
Not only does the crap not belong on a list of "musts," it doesn't belong anywhere. Cut out the garbage, weird, obnoxious, and stupid is just weird, obnoxious, and stupid, not something one needs to hear. 0.00
I'm a sucker for some good guitar. Carlos delivers good guitar. 4
HORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRIBLE!
If I have learned anything so far in these albums, it is that I don't seem to be a very big fan of jazz. I thought I might like it more, since I like rock tunes with a jazzy feel. For me, the piano in this is too sharp on the ears, to the point it bothers me, and I turned the volume down. It's not repulsive, like some of the garbage on this list, I'd say a 2.33 rounded down to 2.
Not bad. Would I buy it? No. Would I turn it off? Probably not. Is it on my playlist? Maybe No More Mr. Nice Guy. It's not a four. It's better than a two. I guess that makes it a three! If you play golf with Mr. Cooper, he has a rule, if he leaves a putt short, you are not allowed to say, hit it, Alice!
How cliche. My pick em up is broke, my honey left me, wha wha wha. 2
Not good. Not good at all. 1
My shit isn't as shitty as this shit is.
Hoover rock. Because it really sucks.
More British electronica SHIT! Enough. IT is fucking terrible. All of it.
For the first time in nine days something worth listening to. Not the Stones best effort, but solid, like the bluesy feel to some of the tunes. 3.5 rounded up to 4.
Why would this crap be on the list? 0.00
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzyawnzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz2.0zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Prince's music was more on the pop side than i usually like. That said, I respect his talent and ability greatly. This seems to fall flat though. Anyone else it might be a 2.2 dropped .to a 2. Respect for the artist, and I'll say 2.5 rounded up to 3.
Sorry for the upcoming violent thought, but more and more I want to beat the author of 1001 to a bloody pulp. This shit sucks donkey farts.
One of the first albums I ever owned. And I still have it, some 40+ years later. Rarely played side 2 though, this is a 3.5 rounded up for nostalgia. 4.
Easy to listen to. Nice. Classic crooner voice, great backing band, makes you want to tap your toes. I liked it more than I thought I would. 4.
Oh yeah. Love it. Electric blues guitar a sound that makes my ears happy. It might be, it could be, it is! A 5.0!
I really thought i might like jazz, but so far what I have gotten on this list isn't doing it for me. I feel like a jazz singer should have a more powerful voice, hers seems high and kind of weak at times. Feels more coffee shop than jazz club jazz.
The second Cure album I have received on this list. That is three too many. As I said on the last one, the Cure were really popular when I was in college and I just never got into them. Although this was realesed when I was in high school, and I wasn't even aware of them then. This reminds me of why. 2
Yeah, that was NOT needed to be listened to by anyone, anywhere, at anytime. Another band that could be named the Hoovers. Because they really suck. 1
Not a fan of Lou Reed, therefore, not a fan of Velvet , and they should stay Underground. 2
Has anyone with an ounce of talent made any music since 2000? If they have, I haven't heard it, and this did not change my mind. 1
if a two year old child's temper tantrum was expressed in 'music' and I use that term loosely. My ears are pissed off at me for making them listen to this. 0/5
I see we are back on a run of giving me stuff that sucks major suckage to the suckiest degree of suckiness. Suck you and Suck off. 1.0
Oh yeah! Let it roll baby roll, let it roll all night long! Love Ray's keyboarding! Gave the Doors a unique sound. So good. 4.0
The most overrated, over-hyped, over-done piece of crap to ever pick up a microphone. And i doubt this idiot could even find Nebraska on a map. 0.00
I'm no dead-head, but some of their music is enjoyable. I actually own this on CD, but it is not frequently played. This is the epitome of "It's okay." to me. 3
Generally not a fan of punk, but the clash feel more poppish punk if that's a thing, and I don't mind it. I don't love it, or generally seek it out, but it's not repulsive either. 3
More crap that sucks major suckage in the suckiest way.
Get this crap out of here.
Not bad. I like his voice. The music isn't right up my alley, but I try not to punish artists unless they make my ears bleed. Marvin does not. Would I seek this out? No. Would I get mad if it was on? No. 3.
Their name always made me wonder if there was a Fat Lizzy? They are a solid 70s rock n roll band, loud and proud. Not my top, but I'll give em a fair listen. 3.33 rounded down to 3.
Whiskey Tango Foxtrot is this? Too weird for me.
It's not bad. I would like to hear this in a studio though, not sure live recording techniques were so good in 1963 I feel like there is a tinny-ness to the sound. More than a 2 less than a 3, but rounded up assuming it sounds better cleaned up in a studio. 3.
There is only one Elvis and Mr. Costello you aint it. 2
Smooooooooth. I don't always listen to Steely Dan. But when I'm in the mood for it, it hits just right. 4.25. So good. And oh the horns on Deacon Blues.
Steely Dan two days in a row? From what I have gotten the first 200+ days doing this, I could do a lot worse. I have always loved Do It Again. Really listened to Dirty Work, like it even more now. Smooth rhythms and nice horns. I might have to go back jack, and listen again. 4.00
My knowledge of Ray Charles is from a couple of hits, his appearance in the Blues Brothers, and the movie, Ray. This is not what I expected, and this was a disappointment. Sorry Ray, this one only gets 2 stars, and one of them is because I know you can do better.
Your public image sucks. You suck. 0 stars.
Made the list of 1001 albums that should be tossed in the trash.
I cannot figure this jazz thing out. When a rock album has a jazz feel, I usually like it, but the jazz albums on this list, just don't do it for me. This sounds more like an impromptu jam session, but nothing connects. Everyone is doing their own thing. 2.0
Another British synth pop band that sucks donkey farts. Thanks, but no. 1
The lead singer's voice hurts my ears. Too bad, I thought the instrumentals were interesting, maybe get a better singer and try again. 1.0
It's different, I'll give them that. I don't care for it, nice try though. 2
Not this twit again. Frickin horrrrrrrible 0.00
Bloody horrible. Bloody awful. Bloody nonsense. I'd like to bloody these talentless idiots. Who is the moron that thought this should be recorded? And to the author of 1001... F.U. Nobody, and I mean nobody needs to listen to these crap. Ever.
Liking this more than I thought I would. My mom liked big band, and I assume she would have liked this. Fun stuff. This also feels jazzy, which would make it the first jazz album I score highly. I keep thinking I would like jazz, but have not liked what the list has given me so far. But hey, this gets a solid 4.
That was interesting. Never did much country music, this was fun though. My ears say 3, I like his fun stuff, the super sappy stuff not so much. But I'm giving it a 4 because it also made me laugh! Especially Wham Bam! First it's matrimony, then it's alimony. Almost spit my drink out.
In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida!! Love that riff and the keyboards. As for the rest of the album, yeah, it's okay. If not for In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida, probably a 2.5. Now a 3.5, but I can't round it up; the rest is just too ordinary. 3.00
Sorry Joni, but I just don't care for your voice. 2.0
I am more of a classic rock guy not so much into metal, but I do like some Metallica. This is one of those that will never hit a playlist, because if I don't want to hear it, it's an automatic skip. But if the mode is just right to bang my head and rock out, then I can see me pulling this up for at least a few songs. 3.0
Wrong list dipshit, this belongs on 1001 albums nobody gives a rats ass about. 1.0
Yeah, never my thing. Too angry. 2.
I like some Nirvana, but most is too grungy for me. 2.5, rounded down, since I'm more likely to turn it off than tolerate it.
More like No brains, or brain dead. 1.
I like the Who. I don't Loooove the Who, but I do like the Who. That said, there are songs on here I had not heard. Some covers, not surprising for a debut album. I think this could have been titled Who Are We? A Beatles-sounding band? (The Kids are Alright) a bit gritty, a bit bluesy? Please, please, please) A lot of okayish songs. My Generation, though. Damn, that's good. 3.5 rounded up to 4.
Yup,, it's the 80s. And the 80s can be fun, there is a reason radio stations do 80s at 8, or an all 80s weekend. I'd just prefer the kept this album off of that playlist. It's like 80s but lighter, and softer and not in a good way. Another day, another 2.
Mis-titled. Should be Blur: Our music is rubbish. 1.
Sort of "fun" country? I can see why she had a following. Not really my thing, nothing will make my playlist, but I don't hate it, and it's not garbage like oh so much of this list is. With decimals, this is an easy 2.5. Better than a 2, not really a 3, so what will I give it? Let's go with a 3, it's Christmas week, a bit of generosity.
Did not need to listen to that. 1.0
Not into it.
The sound isn't reprehensible so it gets 2. But I really didn't care for it. Really a 1.5 with a Christmas round up.
Good grief man. Rename the book 1001 ways to torture me, This is bloody terrible. Less than zero stars.
Prior to this I had never heard of them. Wish I still hadn't. Yet another 1 start piece of trash from this list.
I love Christmas music, and listen to plenty of it from Thanksgiving through Christmas. This is good, and a couple of these might just make it to my personal Spotify Christmas play list. Darlene does a nice cover of White Christmas, but that song is Bing's. Love this cover of Sleigh Ride. 4.0
The instrumental parts are good Not great, not outstanding, but good. The singer? Who told this guy he could sing? His voice is weak, lazy, off key, and unlistenable. 3 for the instruments. 0 for the singing. 1.5 rounded to a generous Boxing day 2
I cannot sing. I wish I could I cannot. So I don't record music. Someone should have told this guy he can't sing either. My poor ears are now mad at me for putting them through this. 1
I like the Police, this album isn't their best, but Message in a Bottle is fun, and Walking on the Moon is very good. A couple of the songs are a bit too disco-y for me, so overall I'd say about a 3.33, so it will get a 3.0 Not quite strong enough for a 4.
Despite being only 23 when this came out, I was never into the Pixies, and if I knew any of this, I had long forgotten it. I get punk/grunge vibes, until Here comes your man, which felt very REM-ish, then back. Not a fan of the vocals for the most part. Heavy bass, which is okay for what it is. Really not something I would add to any playlist, but not oh, you owe my ears an apology either. I had an album yesterday that I said was 3.33 for a 3. This feels like a 2.75, so does it get the same 3? Does it drop all the way to a 2? I really wish we had decimals, at least .5s,, I'd like to give this a 2.5 I really don't think it qualifies as a 3, but a 2 seems harsh. Let's see how I feel tomorrow when I have to put the score in.
When I was a kid School's Out was an anthem! Yahoo, summer freedom!! Sad to say, I didn't know the rest of this album. It is different, and mostly in a good way. Really liked the Grand Finale. 3.6 rounded up to 4 for a pleasant surprise.
Hell yes! I don't need no stinky Spotify, I'll just grab the vinyl I've had since 1978! It's a bit warped, but it still plays good, and sounds awesome. RIP Eddie, you did things with a guitar that blew us away. 5.0
Red Hots were red hot when I was in college. I never got into them. Why? I forgot. Until today, and I played it. It's not the music. It's the singing! Good grief that is bad. With a quality singer this band might be of interest to me. But as it is, a few songs are tolerable, some just plain "turn the dial, NOW" 3.5 for instruments. 0 for vocals. 1.75 rounded to 2.0
