You know, Serge, you're what the French call "les incompetents"

Really enjoyed this one. Double listen!

I wish I was in a tavern when I was listening to this

There were a couple songs I liked, then stopped liking, then started liking again. Just a bit too long.

If Walk of Life or Money for Nothing was on this album, it might be a bump to 2 or 3 stars. Somehow felt longer than the Masekela album

Boreoncé

There’s a reason there’s just one well-known single from this album

Stupid ass

Kim Gordon once said that Lana Del Rey should kill herself once.

Sprawl II was good. 2 stars!

It all just bled together, I don’t think I could pinpoint a single song

I couldn’t stop kicking flipping when I listened to this

It’s fine, mysterious ways is a good enough for a 3 star

If I could give it a zero I would. It straight up ruined my day with how terrible it was.

Didn’t give me what I wanted

It’s time to put Bill Callahan away

Probably closer to a 4.5, just good jams

A fine Ladd

Hot take: I don’t care how influential music from the 70’s is if it’s garbage. This was painful.

Really Excellent Music Red Egg Man

One day in the studio, an engineer complete messed up the mix and called it a new genre and tricked people into thinking it’s good. This album, like all shoegaze and shoegaze adjacent albums, is terrible.

You know, Serge, you're what the French call "les incompetents"

It’s always a little concerning when a “known” band comes up - is it going to be an oasis situation or a Franz situation? This shit ruled. I expected it to and was happy to be correct. 9 awesome songs. It made me sad to be alive because it means I’m not good.

Very neutral on this, as three as they come

I had hopes that a-ha would prove to me more than a one-hit wonder after the second song. Then the rest of the album played.

Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeahs

Mr Brightside remains the GOAT song of the 21st century

It’s crazy how much better FutureSex/LoveSounds is than this generic, soulless R&B trash is.

This coward didn’t call any of her albums “dude you’re getting” so automatic 1 star

Jesse Lacey was full of shit, it’s fine to criticize Morrissey

I was between a 1 and 2 for this one but I’ll give it the star for having some brevity. Didn’t really hate it but didn’t really like it.

Better than Creep but I still don’t get Radiohead

What a ripper. I only knew the singles but liked the whole album. It’s kind of sad when iconic singles have defined a band rather than a whole album.

This one could have used some more time….in utero

I didn’t love this album but it’s exactly what I wanted from this list - an album full of songs that I’ve never heard from a band I’ve never even heard of.

Even worse than I thought it would be

Overall pretty good, definitely more good songs but don’t you want me is a classic and the rest of the album didn’t reach that height

What a mistake to put Good Vibrations on this album to remind the listener of what was. It’s certainly made me appreciate every “genius” musician that died young.

Hopefully the worst Bowie album on this list. Very 3 star

This album is responsible for my favorite joke on a podcast. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j9JUAu_v4rA&pp=0gcJCfwAo7VqN5tD

Totally neutral on this. I like Paranoid but nothing else is good or bad.

I think that I’ve always disliked Hotel California enough to discount the Eagles entirely but this was better than I was expecting, I might even be willing to so that I liked it.

Left me snorin

Let’s have an album party

I don’t like “I want you to want me” enough to knock this down to a 3. If it had Dream Police instead, it gets a 4

Never been a Jack White or White Stripes fan, still am not after listening to this album. The whole early 2000’s garage/indie rock era was never for me (except Franz Ferdinand after hearing it in this list).

A nice jazz album that didn’t overstay its welcome.

I have soft spot for 90’s dance so I was excited to see this pop up but I really wish every song was about a minute shorter, could have bumped it to a 5.

I liked this album a lot, I don’t really listen to much electronic music. I do have to wonder what exactly sets this album apart from the countless other electronic music but I’m not complaining.

I went in with an open mind, not having heard much Bob Dylan and hoping for the best. I did not get the best - it was worse than I could have thought.

Any album with with a song bragging about a massive song is going to get a bonus star. I think it’s kinda popular to not like Aerosmith but it’s a fun album. The singles are timeless for a reason.

The highs are high and the lows are also fine. I’m not sure if I like Bowie or not yet.

This is a weird one - I I liked all the songs individually but by the time I finished, I realized I didn’t really like the album.

Pretty whatever. Didn’t hate it

I haven’t been sleeping well and the first thing I do in the morning is listen to these albums so when I say it felt like a fever dream, it has nothing to do with the music and more my state of mind.

1 ok song. Black Skinhead has a different context in 2025

Just terrible shit. I don’t care if they heavily influenced an entire genre when they bands they influenced are a million times better

I think if this album came out 3 years earlier, it would have been big. Unfortunately, it’s just a worse version of MGMT with everything else bad about indie-electronic pop of the time. Foster the People’s debut album isn’t on this god-awful list but this random-ass, no impact having, generic album is?

I am not a Beatles Boy but I recognize that A Day in The Life might be the greatest song ever written. This is a perfect album and it’s a shame that we have ever other Beatles album on this list instead of just having one to truly appreciate.
