None of the songs were bad, but none were exceptional, either. Quite a forgettable album. I can't see why it would be one of the 1089 most notable albums.
I know I look like a barbarian giving this review. I'm sure to the 1950s ear this was incredible, but I suppose in the 20s it no longer dazzles. No songs stood out to me. Still good, of course.
(Addendum: I looked at some of the other reviews after writing mine and apparently about 80% of people have the same sort of opinion as mine. Not a barbarian after all!)
I like it. Not sure I will ever listen to it again.
Pretty good. I liked Month of May - it reminded me of Rent. Not sure this is an album you NEED to listen to before death, though.
I liked Student Demonstration Time. All of the other songs made me fall asleep, since they were so boring.
Who knew they made a whole group out of the Weird Al song CNR? Good album
Album's pretty good, ignoring Lewis' insane proclivities.
Technically good but practically boring.
Enjoyed listening to it, but I've already forgotten all the songs. Not very memorable.
Sounds good. Probably genius.
Music to fall asleep to at a pub open mic night.
I wasn't expecting to like this. I also wasn't expecting all the songs to be so long.
Not a fan of this slow style of jazz.
My thoughts within the first 30 seconds were: "Is this just robot music?". Yes it is, and it's glorious.
First half of this album is dull. Second half's great.
Pretty boring. Did enjoy All I Wanna Do, which is a bit more Fun.
Interesting sound design.
Was good, but nothing was especially notable to my 21st century ears.
I know very little about singing, but the singing on this album seemed awful. Every other part was good, though. If they weren't it'd be 0 stars.
I can imagine these songs would be good live. Via headphones, though, the album is so boring.
At first I was inclined to give 2 stars; its just random notes and trumpet improvising. After listening some more, I remembered that I actually quite like disorganized notes. The trumpet playing is interesting - as a modern trumpeter (albeit not a very good one) it doesn't seem revolutionary, but I also wasn't alive in 1969, so...
Also, the bit of it being a full length album consisting of 2 tracks is just so good.
Solid punk rock. Kind of curious why it's on the list - is this one of the first of this type of punk? It doesn't sound super exciting to me as a hard-core punk fan who somehow has never listened to Minor Threat - did they invent this type of stuff?
Didn't really enjoy this, but I don't think it's bad at all
Enjoyed it, though I don't remember a single song. Liked the lower power singing.
I quite like some of the songs on this album, but I have no clue as to why it's on the list.
I can see why this is so influential. Still didn't capture me much.
Saw that this was ska. Thought "oh, I'll probably like this"
I did!
The mixing is great. The drums really popped, especially in the album's first half.
I think this album was made in a lab to be as boring as possible.
Some reviewers are acting like this is the worst album in the West. It's not; it's okay. I didn't hate listening to it, and some of the parts were neat.
I've always felt like I ought to like Talking Heads, but I just can't get into them.
The album was alright. None of the song stuck out to me and the outtakes were awfully repetitive, but I enjoyed listening to it.
For art to be worth seeing, something must happen, or it must be beautiful. An action movie has something happen, but isn't beautiful. Alice Munro's stories are beautiful, but nothing happens. Rzewski's variations on Pueblo Unido are beautiful and have things occur in it. This album fulfills neither requirement. Fortunately, it doesn't sound actively bad and thus it gets a 2.
I've never met an open U2 fan.
The song "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" begins so promisingly, with exciting 360 sound, but immediately devolves into lame nonsense. The rest of the album doesn't have an ounce of fascinating stuff in it. Tired of this.
The album is mixed so well, too. Wasted on this junk!
The top review which says that a zoomer wouldn't believe that these guys sell out stadiums is correct. I know who U2 are and I don't understand. There are so many amazing bands, especially in the 80s, which aren't tripe. Maybe they're like the Irish Tragically Hip, another lousy band which people love for some reason unknown to anyone but the Lord.
Good punk tunes, and enjoyed the mixing with jazz. I will admit, I was a little bit tired of it by the end.
Nice fun rock. I liked it more than the singer's solo album.
Good stuff. Exciting after receiving 300 (hyperbole) soul albums off this list.
People glaze this band so hard, so I had high expectations. Turns out its just a guy with a strange accent scream-talking leftist things through a hard-core band. The album sounds 90% the same as the two Limp Bizkit songs I've heard, and people hate them! What am I missing?
On the topic of the lyrics, of course they are going to be relevant "30 years later". Lyrics that boil down to "da goberment sux" are going to be relevant 300 years later. It isn't exactly some sort of amazing predictive power that a civilization still has flaws however many years after you write lyrics criticizing it. I say all this as a bonafide leftoid.
The first bit of the album is great. Not a fan of the second half.
I would do a better job than the vocalist and I do not know how to sing. At least the other instruments were good.
Enjoyable classic rock. I liked "Why Does Love Got To Be So Sad?". Layla's electric guitar part sounds so much like the Russian song "Белая ночь" by Forum. Seriously, listen... did they plagiarize!? Its from 1985, so some Western music may have gotten into the USSR. CAPTIVATING MYSTERY
Pretty boring. Definitely preferred "The Suburbs" from these Montréal warriors
"I'm The Man Who Loves You" was interesting, with a unique guitar part. If only the rest of the album was. I'm starting to think "indie" is a label that just means the music isn't very good.
There's something enigmatic hidden in here. Didn't find it, but maybe I will later.
Well, That's Alright. My only real complaint is that the cover is giving MS Paint.
Also, the Spotify description of this guy is ruthless! "One-chord" and "primitive"‽
I was expecting to like this more, but it's still pretty good.
Shocking: Beatles pretty good
I am very neutral on this album.
I'm very happy that such unique music on the list. Didn't really like it, though.
This album is just so much fun. This is why I listen to this list - I never would've listened to this organically.
I'm sure this is good, but it wasn't for me.
Why is this generic knockoff musical theatre on this list? It has 7k listeners on Spotify per month. I wonder how much of that is from users of this list?
Also... wtf is up with the penultimate song, "Blues for Billy Whitecloud"? "For an Indian, you're not so bad"?! What is going on with this record
Middling electronica. Not exciting nor offensive.
Nice stuff. None of the songs stuck out but I'm interested in listening again.
No idea what's going on here, but its incredible. Audio quality is stunning, mixing too. Bangers
Pretty good. Nothing notable enough to comment on.
I found this album boring, but not painful enough for 1 star.
I have heard nothing but praise for this group. I expected something more. Maybe if I had zero expectations I would've liked it more.
Too much of a virgin to appreciate
Boring, whiny stuff. "Southern Man" was pretty good though.
Pleasant rock. Not too exciting
Whole bunch of nothing. Liked the earlier Radiohead album I got more.
Bit random and disorganized.
I feel like I must be missing something super obvious because everyone except for me thinks this is the bee's knees. For me, the album was simply awful.
It's alright. Nothing sparked anything in me.
Bit shit. Maybe if I read the lyrics I'd like it more but I'd rather read something else
On one hand, I appreciated this record, and the tunes are good. On the other, it was way too long.
Not as good as the other Temptations album; not as fun.
I hated listening to this, but I don't think it's actually bad, thus a 2
I enjoyed listening to this - it had a strong '90s sound. Don't think it should be on the list, though!
Music from before music got good. Fortunately not too painful!
The sound design of this album is stunning, especially the song "Basic Space". I imagine that this album is an excellent experience if listened to while lying down in a quiet, dark room. Unfortunately, in all other circumstances, it is very dull.
Not exciting and derivative.
Bonus review: I've always wanted to listen to this group's album "Drums and Wires" as Danny Elfman said it was an inspiration for his band Oingo Boingo's album "Only a Lad". I decided to listen to that album first, before "Skylarking". It's really good, and I can hear where Elfman got some ideas from. He improved on it massively - really, there's little reason to listen to "Drums and Wires" when one can listen to "Only a Lad" - but it's still a great record. 5/5.
I enjoyed this, but I didn't hear anything too exciting. It's alright
This album is just so lame. Acoustic guitar nonsense
I remember listening to a little bit of Siouxsie and the Banshees a year or so ago and thinking it was utter trash. Now, I think this is peak. WTF happened a year ago??? This is sick!!
Every song was almost good. They all just lacked some necessary component.
Pretty fun, but grating after an hour.
Didn't love, Didn't hate.
I couldnt finish this. This album is so boring. She managed to make House Of The Rising Sun a snoozefest. I tried to listen to this twice and both times I had to give up. Dreadful.
Alright rock. Enjoyed listening, but not that much.
I bet this was the bomb.com in the 90s, but today it sounds so generic. I'm guessing a bunch of groups have aped this band or something
It's not too bad - I actually quite like the title track, "Sado-Masodub", and "Spionagedub". Rhythm dominant music is quite fun, as it feels like getting pushed around aurally. Also, anything is better than music that feels like a sneeze which never arrives!
For me, it was boring - but I don't think this is bad. Just not something for me.
Is this repetitive? Yes, but it's repeating something fun!
The first song is interesting. The rest aren't really. As the top review says - not good to justify his personality.
Every part felt like it was specially crafted and mixed perfectly. Wow!!!
I actually really enjoyed this. I don't understand the hateboner everyone else has for this album... admittedly it did feel a little bit weird being told that I am a powerful Black person when I am not Black.
Never before have I been so hyped up about Africa. A very vague continent, it seems. Contains no countries, but it's a good one.
Album was fun!
Quirky for the sake of quirky. Not bad, but it felt like the type of music an xd random acolyte would make
Good time. Not as noisy as I was expecting from "noise" rock :P
This is sick. Sorry haters but technical guitar is awesome
I listened to this while running, and it made me feel like the focus of a training sequence in a shitty movie. That was so much fun I've just got to give a positive review
Sounds so sleazy. Love it
Not as good as Man Machine, but still pretty good. Let's just say I'm kraftwerking it
Ugh I just FUNKED all over the place
Was going to be a 1, but the last few songs saved it. I'm sick of acoustic guitar!
Was this bad? No. Was this good? No. Just a very generic album, the sort of thing to pop up if you asked a Siri with no invasive knowledge of its owner "play me a rock album".
So boring. Really just glazed over my ears. Wasn't painful enough for 1, though. Just uninteresting.
Nice Electronica. Not much to say
Pretty good. I don't feel like ever listening again but if I was forced to I would enjoy it
Felt like the same song multiple times, but it wasn't too bad of a song. Fun.
I was falling in and out of sleep for unrelated reasons to this album so my review is not very solid but I enjoyed this album whenever I was awake. Lots of fadeouts. Last song was banging
Alright. Nothing much to say about the music. The cover, though, is dreadful. It seems like it was made on Canva for an album a family would put together for Christmas.
Porn CD with a few musical interludes. At least it was entertaining
This sounds like something you'd listen to live. Not voluntarily, but you'd enjoy it.
Whatever. Didn't connect with me
The instrumental tracks sound like they were bought online wholesale. So generic and boring! Why Does this guy get 4 solo albums!?
Not too bad. Enjoyed it but will probably never listen again
I was won over after the 30th guitar solo.
People on this website are so darn dramatic. I was expecting a pure cacophony, like 5 saxophones playing quarter-tones apart in 57/16. It wasn't that crazy. If I hadn't known the reputation of the album, maybe I would have had a different experience... but I had such a good time listening to this. Doesn't feel like 80 minutes at all.
I'm sure this is technically great but it just wasn't for me
Somehow both silly for the sake of it and awfully pedestrian. It's like the rock version of someone writing a derivative sonata but adding Rzewskian extended techniques.
I've never gotten the hype around The Clash; It's just mild punk rock.
Almost good. Something about is preventing me from liking this :(
90 minute album which felt 300 minutes long. So boring.
Imagine if this album was interesting
I hate how good this album is. I feel conflicted as to whether I should give it a 4 or maybe even a 5 solely based on music or a 1 based on lyrics. I have decided to split the difference and give a 3. Hope any readers will understand.
Not interesting - generic.
The first song of the album is one of the worst I have ever heard. The rest are only a little better. I'm sure the lyrics are brilliant but the music is not.
Sorry to the city of Montréal, the big Leonard Cohen mural is still cool.
Felt like the same type of song 12 times. It was fine but not anything to write home about.
Just so meh. 60s sounds washing over my ears
I had a great time while listening to this. I was walking around, and I imagined myself to be in a really strange film. Not bad at all for the "worst" album, which somehow isn't Joan Baez's self-titled.
I wish I could die without hearing music of this nature ever again. I don't think it's technically bad, I just hate listening to it.
Very fun. Much of the title track resembled video game music which is neat
This was so repetitive but I loved listening - just so much fun. I guess I'm a Faux French Electronica Head. Also this is the first album on the list that I immediately repeated after listening. It's so stupid, that it is genius.
Good, but not in a life-changing way. I liked how the drums sound.
It was whatever. Appreciate that they're from TRONNO though
Used this album as background noise to block out distracting noises. It worked perfectly for that, but whenever I paid attention, the album sounded a bit boring.
The mixing is excellent - very sharp. The music, though, is emotionless, boring, and pointless. I didnt mind listening to it, the same way I don't mind looking at a blank canvas.
I enjoyed this, but I felt like I got the idea after 40 minutes - a bit too long. Not bad at all though.
Pretty good. NGL, I've never listened to Elton John's music. I know he's a musician, but I just never bothered with it...
Didn't hate by any means, but this album mostly just washed over my ears with its folksy country sound, something I've never been a fan of.
Not as good as Juju (the album I got earlier from this band), but still great. I listened to Hong Kong Garden last year and hated it and wrote off the band, but listening to the song now, I find it perfectly fine, though I prefer the album's other songs. No idea what I was on about back then, maybe I was just in a really sour mood!?
The second half is a romp! Not sure why this is on the list but it's a great time
Instantly started bouncing. Unfortunate that the best song is first, but the rest is still pretty good 👍
This album was so disappointing. These reviews made it sound like it was going to be hyper sexy. Sadly, I was not hard AT ALL while listening. SO SAD
also it was boring
Before listening, I realized that I had never heard Wonderwall before. I was so disappointed when I listened to it. It's not an interesting song at all... why is it so popular? Why is this album popular? It's BORING!
Not for me, but technically good and mixed well.
Feels like a third of this list is electronica. This album is okay, but quite boring. Also feels like a scam to sample entire songs. One song sampled Cargo Culte by Serge Gainsbourg and the song sounded great... because Cargo Culte is great. Not very original.
.
Emotionally powerful, well-written, and well-sung. Even if I am not usually a fan of this style of music (ballads, acoustic guitar) this album is still full of bangers
Wasn't gay enough tbh. Picked up a lot by the second half - the first half was a bit of a slog
"King's Lead Hat" is excellent. The rest of the album did not capture my attention much (especially the songs near the end that have little energy) but I can see why some people would like it.
Also, this is the No New York guy. That has to be worth something
Affirms my prejudiced ideas that country has never been good, to the chagrin of the "country ain't good these days" types
Definitely good, but didn't capture me. Sort of thing where I would get to enjoy it after a few listens... but do I want to listen to it more? Not really.
Repetitive, but a good time. What is repeated is something fun!
Very unremarkable. I assume what killed the Zutons was giving Dimery all their money in exchange for a place in the book.
Good, but not too exciting for me
Not bad, but didn't really capture me
I instantly gained 100lb on my bench after listening to this
Fun. Enjoyed listening to this
Good but I wasn't too interested.
Note: I accidentally listened to this in shuffle so that may have affected my experience
I got tired of the shtick after 10 minutes
I don't understand this album. I listened to it three times just to confirm that I don't understand it. It just isn't very interesting to listen to. Maybe it's a great read?
Good, but I'm not familiar with Indian music enough to have thought anything other than "Sounds like Indian music!".
Not sure what to say. I think this album would definitely get better with more listens, but the first one didn't make a big imprint.
First album I've gotten from this list that I am actually familiar with. I listened to Gut Feeling 203 times last year. I think this album may be good
Found this really uninteresting, but it seems like an album that would start to hit by listen #5
Pointless and derivative, but thankfully not in a painful way.
It seems to me that being really repetitive only works if your sound is in any way interesting.
Payday 2 music but without the crime (less fun)
This album sounds good, but in such a textbook style, like the composer just found the simplest and commonest aesthetically pleasing music aspects and wrote that. The singing was good though
Includes my favourite gay anthem (Richie Dagger's Crime) and involved in my favourite scheme to attain fame via suicide that failed because someone more famous died on the same day
Not bad as background music, seems like it'd be painful to listen to actively
The first time ever the acoustic guitar was good and necessary. Mesmerizing. Don't understand the hate from the other reviewers lol
Was making good music illegal in the 90s? The vocals are impossible to hear and the music itself is less remarkable than a cube of ice. How is this on the list and not Oingo Boingo?
Not bad at all, but a bit boring still
This is beautiful, but it's got nothing else going for it. All the interesting bits were ripped from Histoire de Melody Nelson.
Bit naff and pointless. Cool for its year I guess
Someday Soon I won't have to listen to any more Wilco. Can't wait.
Just meh. Not very interesting, at least for me
Mixed feelings. On one hand, the sound of this album is multilayered and very interesting. On the other, I hated listening to it.
Good time, good guitar work, not much to say
Jazzy parts were 4 stars, rocky parts were 2. Splitting the difference
Really enjoyed this as a Deist
Singer songwriter acoustic guitar nonsense. Inoffensive: I can't hate, but I don't love it, either.
What a strange and good time
I got so sick of this by about track 3. Too bad there are 19
This album manages to be both extremely overproduced and awfully underinteresting. Also wasn't released in 1814. SCAM
This would hit so hard on a roadtrip. Not really the same effect when doing the dishes but it's ok
If this album was only "Art of Dying" and the instrumental stuff at the end, it'd be a 5 star album. Unfortunately, Mr. Harrison had a quality control phobia and thus we got a 2 hour long bloated mess.
I listened to this a while ago, but seemingly forgot to rate it. I remember, though, that it was not very interesting
This is fine, but... why is it 140 minutes long... and why does every song seem to repeat in the middle... this is fine, but... why is it 140 minutes long... and why does every song seem to repeat in the middle...
We get it, you want to have sex. Why not sing about something else, too, like the Franco-Prussian war of 1870? The songs are so long you could certainly fit it in.
Piano makes me lose control. My sole complaint is the audience noise. I listened to this while walking on a barren, quiet path where my only friends were the squirrels. Every time I heard a grunt I whipped my head around to find the culprit. I must've looked loony.
Didn't capture me, other than "She Bop", which is a bop
It's okay. Don't get the hype
If you've got something to say, just write it down. Don't put it over lousy guitar.
Makes me yearn for Easter music
It's alright. Not so bombastic as the journos claim it to be, and Costello seems undeserving of 5 more albums. Ugh!
Pub open mic night music but actually good
Bit strange. Thought it was alright
Terrible music to cheat on your wife with
First song was some cowboy stuff. I got excited, and then listened to 40 minutes of boring new wave. Great.
Lousy songs recorded on a toaster. What even is this?
This is his best album? I'm starting to think the Prince discography is a joke. I've somehow managed to get all his albums on this list in a very short time-span, and it seems to me that all he talks about is boning - so much so, that I am starting to believe he is a virgin. I cannot imagine somebody who actually has sex writing one billion songs about it. It'd be tripe.
Adequate stuff. 70 minutes was not necessary.
Great time. Seems more like pop rock than jazz rock, though.
Also, the shirtless guy on the cover is so distracting!!!
SHOCKING: THE BEATLES ARE GOOD!!!
Okay. Admittedly some of the songs are a bit silly, but they're still good :)
Sometimes I caught myself dancing a little but overall this album is a bit dull
I feel like I'm supposed to like this, but something is just missing. I think it's that the instrumental music is simply not very interesting- it sort of sounds like punk but without the spirit.
Meandering acoustic guitar bullshit. 1001st album to listen to after you're long gone
I listened to this during a dreadful snowstorm, real feel -17°C, while sauntering through a cemetery. The album was the dreariest thing in the arsenal.
Good, but all the songs didn't seem to go anywhere. I enjoyed them, but the endings all felt very disappointing
It's alright, I guess, but just so meh
This is sure alright. Do not understand why it's considered one of the best albums ever. I was disappointed by the fact that this is only barely punk. "Best punk album of all time" my ASS!
Absolutely no bangers. Such a downgrade from the debut
It's alright. Groovy for sure but not much else going on, at least for me to enjoy it.
This sounds like a parody of rock music an Evangelical moral crusader would find and make a huge culture war issue
If I hadn't known this is one of the most highly acclaimed albums of all time I'd have thought this was total shit. The prized status has bumped it up to a two, so as to not be a contrarian bastard. The final song, probably during Part 6, starts to get good... but then the last two Parts betray us.
I really like how Snoop's voice sounds. I have no other comments
I enjoyed this, but it seems more than inessential
Perfectly adequate, though Joplin sometimes resembled Marge Simpson
The faster the song, the better.
What a good time. Did not expect this to be so guitar oriented lol
I feel conflicted rating these stupid British electronica albums this list is riddled with. They're not bad (with the exception of Darkdancer, which is so bad it's good), but they're just so unnecessary. I enjoyed listening to this, but I can't imagine anybody finding the solution to the meaning of life to this.
When I was 11, I discovered Musescore, and pumped out a dozen half-baked incoherent pieces. This album sounds a bit like if I had discovered GarageBand instead.
My beautiful country has LEGALIZED IT.
Did me and the other reviewers listen to the same album? This was a great time. It's goffik... I think Ebony Dark'ness Dementia Raven Way would like it
Solid work. No complaints
When I fall asleep, I sometimes have auditory hallucinations (e.g. a door opening). Those tend to be more exciting than this tepid, lethargic album.
This guy's name is offensive, it should be censored! In all seriousness, this album is so sterile you could bring it into a heart surgery. Dull.
I have no idea why, but this album was like an instant boredom ray. It took 3 or 4 sessions to finish it... and it's only an hour long! My ears just had such an instant reaction every time. Utterly bizarre. Maybe it's really repetitive? I can't remember, as it took me more than a week to finish!!!
Is this what WASPs listen to? It's fine, I guess, and I found myself tapping my feet at points, but the bulk of it is pointless.
I've been a fan of X-Ray Spex for a while, Essential Logic for a bit, and Maximum Joy even less. I guess I'm adding The Slits to the roster. This group is the least polished out of the three, and has absolutely NO saxophone, but other than that, it reaches the same heights. I just love me some wacky, energetic stuff seemingly recorded via tin cans on a string.
You know something is a treat when there's like 18 genres attached to it
I'm starting to learn i dont really like gangster rap
I'm really not excited to have to listen to 3 more of this guy's albums (ignoring the collabs). Neil is a good folk musician but I unfortunately don't like folk. I do appreciate that he's from TRONNO
Feel pretty neutral on this music-wise - mostly basic hard rock with some extra stuff sprinkled in. I do find adult men singing about being in school a bit cringe though
even brian eno could not save this
Generic and simply uninteresting
I was expecting to like this. Unfortunately, this is just a poppy, somewhat musical theatre-y album that doesn't have any hits and isn't very weird. Don't know why everybody defines this album as being weird. It's not?
The first half was a slog but the second one was fine
Wow is this boring and repetitive. Did not enjoy at all
Solid electronica. Enjoyed but can't say it changed my life
It was fine. If a friend made me listen to this I would say I liked it
Good stuff, nothing much to note
My Brain started running at Twice the Frequency after listening to this. My Iq is Now 300. THANKS BRIAN
I enjoyed this despite the sometimes infantile lyrics
I am so sick of the united kingdom of great britain and northern ireland
While listening to this, my thoughts constantly oscillated between "WTF am I listening to" and "this is awesome!!!"
This was recorded on a potato in a nosebleed seat. Why is it on the list
I'm sure this is good but it just wasn't for me. Nothing caught my attention
I thought classic rock was supposed to be good
It's fine. Not interesting in 2026
First half I was like "ugh, this is all the same song!". Second half I was like "hell yeah, this is all the same song!"
Soft "punk" rock for middle class socialist brats from suburban families who never really had to work.
Pretty good, as a beans lover
I see why people call this landfill indie.
Turns out I've never listened to the original version of 7 Nation Army. It's alright
This is simply awesome idk what to say
Simple, inoffensive, and unnecessary.
I really like the cover. It's unique. The music, though, is kind of generic and very advertisement-core.
Amazing songs but too many wives
First half was a solid supplement to my squats. Second half was high school footballer music
Honestly underwhelming. I could hear some of the Eno influence but not enough - the music was disjointed but in a bad way, not a Brian way.
Quite good, with a varied sound. Bothered me how often she used "schizo" as some sort of generic adjective
Okay so why is this amateur hour anti-catchy shit on this list when the ACTUAL GIANT STEPS by Coltrane isn't??? WTF???
Potentially the most unnecessary inclusion on this list yet. Nobody needs to listen to this before or after death
It's alright. A bit too British for me
Feels weird enjoying this medieval-ass music so much considering I'm nigh certain music in the medieval era sounded nothing like this in any of the countries I hail from.
Random British electronica album example 300
I dream of playing my trumpet this brightly
I was expecting to enjoy this, but it felt like a big juicy nothingburger
None of the songs stuck out to me. Very meh
I thought classical/art music wasn't allowed on the list
Very wanky, like a bunch of virtuosos got together to show off their talent, but neglected to actually be creative about it. In the realm of show-off pieces the album is pretty good though
This guy seems to think he's a lexicon devil
Perfectly fine. Probably not one of the best double albums ever.
Why do people like this band so much? The 90s were truly the nadir of music. Flaccid groups like OASIS were allowed to proliferate despite being LOUSY
It is very hard for me to imagine people being hyped up about this record. "Do You Feel Like We Do" is kinda cool though
Will I be executed if I say this bored me?
I see how this could appeal to some people. I am not some people
Potentially the least catchy album I've listened to yet. Not a single song stuck out at all.
Sorry guys but if you're going to be experimental can you bother making it sound good?
The playing on this album is so ridiculously clean it killed every single germ in my body. Gave me immunodeficiency, but it was worth it!!!
This sounds good but inauthentic
This music probably decreases IQ but it's anabolic so I'm fine with it
I guess Beck eventually grew out of the garage band tinkering and started making bangers like Rental Car. Youpi!!!
Very cohesive structure, which makes for a great album, but not as many pure bangers as REVOLVER
I got two Beatles albums in a row. Embracing baked beans
I was surprised at how boring this was. I expected so much more from the Underground GOATs. I now see why they were forced under the floorboards
Like, it's fine, I guess. I do recognize the first song. How do these guys have 16M monthly listeners on Spotify??? Why???
Sorry libérals but I like post punk. It's like punk but they deliver packages too. Unfortunately no catchy parcels
I just couldn't get into this
How is this alternative rock. Alternative to what??? Complexity!?!
This is not for me but it's very competent and I think I could definitely enjoy it.
Omg breats. Music was a bit too theatrical for me
Something bothers me about this album. It's too simple, but not in a perfect or passionate way... more out of laziness, like they had to write all the songs in a weekend.
I'm going honky tonk mode. Ask me if I care (I don't)
(Also, top reviewer, a honky tonk is a type of piano where there are tacks inserted into the hammers, or a bar where country music is played. Hope this helps!)
Big Dyl finally locked in with this album and actually made it good. It's much more "rocky" than the other album of his I got - great for me!
Pleasant, but nothing grabbed me.
Too dissonant for me. This is really "landfill indie" in a unique way - you could tell me the instruments Sebadoh used were made with recycled materials and I would believe you.
It's fine and a good time. A bit vapid. I liked "Master Race Rock", which feels terrible to say!
The star of the hit film War of the Worlds (2025) is a pretty good rapper
Rather middling but funky. Suggestive but also political - great mix!
It amazes me that Elvis is still popular. He's alright, but it's the 21st century... why is he 336th on Spotify?
None of the songs stuck out to me.
This album was an overall good experience but without any standout tunes.
These guys take themselves too seriously. None of these long-ass songs have long song vibes. It is fire though
It's fine. Weird Al used one of these songs in a polka and that was the only time the music interested me.
Was Fourth of July Mariah Carey's attempt at All I Want For Christmas Is You II?
This band only has 1510 monthly listeners on Spotify for a reason. They do so much and achieve so little.
The comically low listener count got me thinking. My high school had about 1600 students, which means that if some kids held an assembly, playing tunes, they'd have more views than these guys. A busker on a busy street would also get more listeners. I'm sorry to bully The Icarus Line, but it's just the fact that they're on THIS LIST that really gets me. A question came over me: about how many listeners are from this website? There are 61500 active projects at the time of writing. I don't know if "active" means that the account has been used in the last week (or something like that), or if it just exists at all, but for the sake of argument I'll assume the former. The likelihood of getting any one album is about 30/1089, ignoring the days where someone famous dies. (30/1089)6150≈1694 users receiving any given album per month. Let's assume half of the site uses Spotify. That makes 847 Spotify listeners that are coming from the generator... more than half of the band's listeners. Gee golly.
Was really good for my squats but otherwise nothing really caught me. This would blow my balls off if I listened to it on release but unfortunately it's older than both of my parents and I was thus unable to give it a go in 1970.
First album I've gotten that I already had downloaded! The album with the most accurate name ever. It's so cool. I've listened to it like 40 times man
So many genres attached, and for good reason! This has SO MUCH GOING ON! Great time!
I don't have a lot of thoughts about this album. Smooth, I guess. Didn't make me feel much.
I see why this is called space rock. It felt like it was flying by in the distance.
I think even hardcore rap fans are forced to admit that nobody needs to listen to this in the 21st century.
None of these songs captured my attention at all.
Sorry paul you're still my favourite Beatle
I prefer to eat my buttered bread cold, because I eat it with very high quality butter, and melting it makes it less flavourful. Anyways that's probably why I couldn't get into this album. It was fine.
I see why everyone clowns on this album. It's like white British Michael Jackson. I have to respect that this is only 38 minutes - if this was released today it would be 3.8 hours long!!!
I'm sorry, liberals, but Shake It Off is a banger. The rest of the album was kind of boring and felt like it would NQ at Eurovision.
I wasn't paying enough attention while listening to this album, but when I was, it was not very interesting
Unfortunately this just isn't for me as I don't really like the acoustic guitar or singer songwriter music
Holy Man is a banger. The rest is lame
Mixed up this guy with Jim Jones and Charles Manson at the same time. Kind of coloured my perception of the music. Ignoring the murders, the music is just regular schmegular country, nothing to write home about as someone who isn't a fan of the genre
As a response to psychedelic rock this brilliant group invented anesthetic rock
felt a little bit too lullabyish for me
should come with a warning label BANGER ALERT
It's fine. Basic blues with a few bangers
