I can't make myself listen to country even if my life depends on it and this album did not change it
Not my favorite genre but was nice to listen to while running
It is a decent record I guess but in no way can I connect with it. Too much love and jesus for my taste
It was surprisingly entertaining. But 1 hour of this is too much for me
The first track was promising but the rest was boring
This kind of music passed me by in 2000s and it doesn't seem I missed too much. It was a nice album for my evening run but nothing more.
definitely deserves attention. i dig the music but the vocals is what prevents me from loving it
fav track: Pas Mal
it's good but not very impressive
never heard of this band before
fav tracks: Kicks, All I Really Need Is You
Not a fan of such music but the album was ok
The description was more interesting than the album itself though.
Fav tracks: bongo bong, mama call
nice record but not really memorable, mostly generic.
fav tracks: colorbars, everythng means nothing to me
I promised myself to listen to this without skips and try to understand what the deal with Tom Waits is but ... Nah, couldn't make it.
The album becomes boring too soon. The music itself is not bad at all. But the songs are all the same and those intros and laughs are annoying as hell.
A nice record, beautiful voice. Only got halfway through until I fell asleep though. Thought I would return to it next day but I really don't feel that I need it now. I think that's enough for now. Maybe some day later.
nice but nothing memorable
Was better than I thought. Half of the songs are too cheesy though
Fav tracks: Last Night I Had A Dream, You Can Leave Your Hat On, God's Song
its ok but kinda generic. nothing special. can't even pick a fav track.
There's nothing bad or too annoying it's okay
It's ok but nothing impressed me.
Wow. Totally unknown name for me, didn't know what to expect and it was a really exciting listen. It is complex and eclectic, diverse, conceptual work of art.
I only give it 4 out of 5 because although my brain understands how great it is, my soul doesn't fully align with the vibe.
Booooring. Couldn't listen without skipping
An odd recording but I enjoyed it.
The story behind it explains why it came out this way
It's a decent album and was a pleasure to listen. But, it's not really essential and I probably won't play it again cause there's a lot of more interesting stuff out there.
Five star system is not enough to express my opinions on albums. 3 is too little and 4 is too much. I give this album 4 out of 5 but this 4 is closer to a 3 than a 5.
Never heard of him before. After reading the description, imagined something else (worse). Was a pleasant listen.
I just can't listen to this, too boring
generic boring indie where pretty much nothing happens and every song is the same. Electronic Renaissance is fun though
A classic, heard it a thousand times before
Heard it before and love it
like the raw and minimal feel of the sound. if only it was more diverse in terms of melodies, it wouldnt be that boring.
Great vocals but too boring to listen for me
thought i'd give it 3 stars but couldn't stop skipping. not my vibe at all i guess
well i don't understand it at all, in a bad way. this actually sounds like shit and a long one too, i just can't handle it
a good album, enjoyed it even if it's generally not my vibe
didn't know who he is and didn't know what to expect judging by the cover. turned out to be a pleasant and calming listening.
Listened before. One of my fav albums of all time
A classic, bad enough to be good, was listening to it while sniffing my glue
It's the first time I hear this band. Sound design is definitely appealing. Songs seemed repetitive and hipsterishly pretentious at first but I started digging it closer to the second part of the album. Overall it was a nice listen.
Fav tracks:
Kids,
Of Moons, Birds & Monsters
The Handshake
Never heard much from Aerosmith apart from a couple of their hit songs that were generic but kinds ok. Listening to a whole album of this was a tough job but it was worth it to get to the last track (the only one I liked). Thus 3 stars
Never listened to a-ha, only knew a couple of songs, and I liked this album
I disliked Jar of Flies and didn't expect anything from this album but Dirt works so much better for my taste with its darker sound, I really loved it
I like new order but this album is somewhat mediocre
Listened before and love it
I am not sure if I've listened to this album before bc they're all kinda the same to me. It didn't change my impression from Iron Maiden: the music is technically well composed and played and everything's cool but it's just boring and predictable and cheesy as hell. Works ok as a background music.
Cute album. At first it seemed too boring but it grew on me
as a kid growing up with MTV I saw a lot of Eminem's music videos. back then they seemed entertaining and fun but I never really liked rap music and I've never listened to a full Eminem album.
yesterday I listened to half of this album before getting interrupted, and after that I just didn' feel like continuing bc I didn't hear anything new, everything felt predictable and uninteresting.
huge issue I have with most rap records including this album is the lyrics that go "I am this" "I am that" "I am cooler than those bitches" and it goes on and on and on and I just don't get how adult people can write these kinds of lines without cringing while saying them out loud.
3 stars for Stan and that MTV nostalgia mood.
a nice classic hard rock album. not very interesting and not too boring
interesting experimental electronic music
I remember all the hype in 2000s about Franz Ferdinand. Lots of positive reviews in music magazines, like they were the new Beatles or something like that. Didn't understand it then and don't understand it now. This album is okay but really nothing special. Liked the song Michael though.
Such a great find, enjoyed every bit of it
I even liked it at first for the sound and work with samples but it's impossible to listen farther without skips
Expected this to be lousy but it was ok
(listened before) I love early Pink Floyd records
it's good overall but gets boring soon, and so not my vibe
expected to hear some boring britpop but it's really really good
Enjoyed listening to this.
Not what I imagined reading the description and quite a pleasant listen
very repetitive and not really interesting
I hated Radiohead but it changed when I started composing music myself. Then I suddenly started digging Radiohead. Still, listening to it cautiously, one album at a time. Loved this album
What sucks about this album: it has too many songs.
What's good: the songs are short.
Some of them are good.
btw Waking Up really sounds like No More Heroes
Well the description was more interesting than the content...
The covers I recognized were uninteresting and I don't know if other tracks are covers too.
Maybe it has to do with production but the sound of sitar is grating here.
I've heard another The Kinks album before so knew what to expect. It's good although a complete vibe mismatch for me today
One of my favourite albums of all time
never heard of him but certainly heard the first track (and it's a great song) in some tv series. a good album despite its name
Although not everything works for me in the 20 minutes long title track, it is a great listening experience overall
A cute album and I love the fake zombies story I read here in the comments
this is the second album from Suede in this list and it does not disappoint
never listened to a full killers album before and it's incredibly cheesy teenager stuff that didn't age well.
three stars instead of two only because of somebody told me, it's a fun song
as someone exposed exclusively to western (british/american) music for as long as i live i don't dig latin vibes at all and usually they bore me to hell. but this album is pretty enjoyable, almost every time i reached for the skip button something grabbed my attention, i didn't skip too much and i really liked several songs. well it's much more fun than listening to the killers album so i'll even give it 4 stars
a nice new wave / post punk album
It's fine. One of the most generic albums I've listened to. All the songs are the same. But given the time it was released I guess it sounded more novel then.
well it's abba
not much to say here
it's pretty good. three stars but closer to four
surprisingly pleasant to listen as a background music
It's not a bad album but I just can't cause the mix quality is painful, it sounds muddy and dull with lack of depth.
feels like my ears are blocked.
listened to remastered 2012 but it didn't help.
it was probably done deliberately but i can't agree with this decision
it's not the first time i'm trying to listen to his records but it just doesn't work.
i understand it's good.
the sound is so clear and the mixing is so good.
it just that his music doesn't work for me at all and i can't make myself like it.
liked it at first but then it became boring, too long too repetitive
definitily skipping this. haven't seen the movie and i guess i'll die before listening to the soundtrack
it's a fine jazz record but something doesn't work for me here
first country record i can listen without cringing. it's not very traditional country though.
***
what's that with cars being in every song lyrics?
the album is fine, just not my cup of tea
At first I liked it. Then it became too grating and boring and i was going to start skipping tracks and then it somehow drilled its way inside my head and the skipping didn't happen.
I liked its dark depressive monotonous sound.
it was hard to listen, kinda tired from all the rap albums i've tried to listen.
but, this one's lyrics are not bad
at least he's not saying "nigga mf" every 5 secs
3 stars out of respect
it was very hard to listen.
i mean the music is kinda ok.
the lyrics are unbearable.
and those intros to every track... skipped half of the album.
i know it's a classic but i just can't
Never heard this album but knew in general what to expect from Kate Bush
it's a gem, loved it
Thought I'd want to skip it as it is a soundtrack to a movie I've never seen and am not really planning to. But it's a pretty good album by itself, and I am not usually fond of soul but I liked it.
This is the second aerosmith album i'm listening to and it seems to be the thing with this band that i only like one track on the album. I liked hoodoo / voodoo medicine man and the other tracks were meh. 3 stars since there was something to like
beautiful voice but the album is too boring for me
judging by the name i expected it to be country and i dislike country music. but it turned out to be melancholic music with inventive songwriting and unusual lyrics. wikipedia says this genre is called alt country / gothic country and it seems i finally found the country i like
50/50
some songs were unbearable
some i liked
hidden gem: oddfellows local 151 is the reason to listen to the end
my 100th album here
it's an improvement comparing to Nighthawks At The Diner that i've listened before so 3 stars, i even liked some tracks (others were unbearable though)
might be a bit boring and lacking diversity but it creates a moody and melancholic atmosphere i needed tonight and becomes better with a second listen. firesuite is a beautiful instrumental composition. I liked the burning fire sample and lofi damaged tape vibe (some changing pitch effects) in A House, without it the song would be mediocre. and i think i will play The Man Who Told Everything on repeat.
sooo boring, every song is the same
i liked some tracks (regular john, you would know, the bronze, spiders, teenage hand model) but others meh. skipped half of them. not really that fun.
As much as I don't like Michael Jackson's music, I enjoyed this album. I've heard it before, I even had a vinyl record I had given to a friend cos I know I won't be listening to it much. So I thought I was going to skip it quickly, just listen a bit and enjoy the sound clarity because production here is phenomenal. But I kept listening and forty minutes after I'm going to give it 4 stars even though his music is not my vibe. Liked tracks: Thriller, Billie Jean, Beat It, others are skippable but these three are so good they deserve a higher rating than the other MJ albums I've listened to.
Listened before, a long time ago. Back then I liked it more.
it has good songs but overall it bored me today.
only three stars.
Listened before (like 20 years ago), have always preferred Toxicity but I should not have because this one is really a magnificent record and deserves more listening
fun to listen to a couple of songs but the album was too much
too grating on my ears, but there's something about it
well the recording quality is good, singing and instrumentals are masterful. but it's so not my vibe that i can't listen through this withous skips.
another Kate Bush album I didn't listen before (apart from the first track). and the whole record deserves 5 stars. it is inspiring, progressive and conceptual
it's fun how early rap sounds so slow like they're actually under water.
still dont have patience to listen something like this without skipping. but i can see it working as a background music
definitely listened before but don't remember much. it's ok but nothing more
(Listened before)
Today, the 1001albumsgenerator suggested I enjoy some watercolor in shades of gray and the perfect soundtrack for november.
This is their second album, which was marked by a change in the lineup and the establishment of Robert Smith's dictatorship.
Musically, it's a collection of melancholic tracks with minimalistic arrangements, full of gloom, despair and reverb so that your hand instinctively reaches for the black eyeliner.
The songs for the album were mostly written by Robert Smith at his parents' house on a Hammond organ with a built-in cassette recorder. Pretty cool to have a device like that at home. The material was played live many times before recording so they recorded it in a couple of studio sessions, and it took seven days including mixing. The budget was very limited and it shows. it's especially noticeable in The Final Sound which cuts off at 53 seconds because the tape ran out. i can actually hear tape flaws in some places, ie at 2:22 in M one channel drops out for a moment. The album is another living proof that sound quality isn't that important if the music is great.
I'm listening to the 2005 reissue on Spotify. The remaster was done from a vinyl record because the original recordings (master tapes) were stored next to a washing machine and got demagnetized over time. It's like they were stored at my grandma's place (no, my grandma would have thrown them out at all like she did with the photo negatives). Everything that managed to avoid the washing machine was included in the second part of the reissue: instrumental demos, live recordings from 1980, as well as recordings by Cult Hero, a supergroup that included The Cure, their relatives and friends, and the relatives and friends of those relatives and friends.
goddamn it's big, 19 tracks
i listened to 7 of them and i feel i'm ready to die without listening to the others
but i listened without skips and it means i liked it more than other rap albums.
the lyrics still suck the big one but i like the sound here and i'll even give it three stars to distinguish it from the others.
I like how experimental obscure music finds its way into this list. It was an interesting listen but i would prefer something more ... idk, coherent and shaped than this. still, it was fun to listen
can't stand guns n roses. the album is so boring
these four stars are more like three and a half.
i liked some of the songs so three stars is not enough, but the whole double album was too repetitive. not the best bad seeds album.
At first i thought i've already listened to this album here. It seems I did it on some other list not a long time ago. I didn't like it and not going to go through this again. It's not bad it's just whatever
To be honest, the album is fairly mediocre but listenable. i would normally rate it 3 stars but i'm giving it 4 solely because of First We Take Manhattan. it is such a great song that the album deserves a listen just to discover this track and put it on repeat.
furthermore, there are countless covers of this song by musicians from a wide spectrum of genres. i was especially surprised to discover a cover by Sirenia from 2004 as I was a big fan of theirs in the early 2000s.
Aside from that, jazz police is also quite enjoyable.
wow it's a hip hop record that is not unlistenable, finally
one of the most boring and uninspired albums i've heard
a very unlevel record. several tracks are asking for a skip, some are ok and then there is Southern Man which is only the reason for giving this 4 stars and not 3
Not a fan at all but didn't want to skip and found it pretty pleasant to listen, the voice is beautiful and the mix is good.
what's this, more 90s MTV bubble gum music
boring skip skip skip
listened before and liked it
(listened before) a good album
ha-ha-hail satanas that's fun
(listened before) perfection
