Parklife by Blur

PARKLIFE. edit: Enjoyed the album but only Parklife is a song I really enjoyed. So changing it from a 4 tot a 3

Vespertine by Björk

Every song is literally the same. The way she sings is soooo whiney... please make it end.

Gris Gris by Dr. John
Jun 30 2025

De gehele atmosfeer is goed cohesief. Vond de liedjes wel enorm langdradig. Maar het was wel een chill album maar niet een waar ik weer naar zou luisteren

Purple Rain by Prince
Jul 01 2025

boring, geen cohesie

Let's Stay Together by Al Green
Jul 03 2025

Rustig album, meer cohesie, niet voor herhaling vatbaae

Amnesiac by Radiohead
Jul 04 2025

really boring

Parklife by Blur
Jul 08 2025

PARKLIFE. edit: Enjoyed the album but only Parklife is a song I really enjoyed. So changing it from a 4 tot a 3

All Hope Is Gone by Slipknot
Jul 09 2025

reminded me of MoS in a way, but not my genre.

Private Dancer by Tina Turner
Jul 10 2025

Tina Turner :D edit: oppon listening to the album again, I've noticed that it's very repetitive. Even the songs that I already know and liked have the same repetion. So I'm changing my score from a 4 to a 3.

What's Going On by Marvin Gaye
Jul 12 2025

I thought it was boring, every song sounded the same to me.

Welcome To The Pleasuredome by Frankie Goes To Hollywood
Jul 13 2025

The first half is quite all-right, not my genre but not annoying to listen to... the second half though, I don't get the random weird noises like the ??birth?? part? So a 1,5/5

Aqualung by Jethro Tull
Jul 14 2025

Not an album I'd listen to againn but it was quite fun.

Born To Run by Bruce Springsteen
Jul 15 2025

It's all-right

Golden Hour by Kacey Musgraves
Jul 16 2025

To me it's just your everyday love/break-up album with cliché text

Here's Little Richard by Little Richard
Jul 19 2025

I liked how his voice sounds on this, you can hear how raw it is. It's not my genre. It all kinda sounds the same.

Neon Bible by Arcade Fire
Jul 22 2025

It was all-right.

Real Life by Magazine
Jul 23 2025

It was oke

Paranoid by Black Sabbath
Jul 24 2025

I liked the album, just not what I'd listen to on a regular basis.

Kenya by Machito
Jul 25 2025

Bit too repetitive, not my genre

Rock 'N Soul by Solomon Burke
Jul 26 2025

coherent album, just no songs I'd put in my daily playlist.

Jul 27 2025

Although I suppose that the spoken bits that were like it's recorded in a class room does fit the album title, I don't think that spoken lyrics should be on an album, especially this much.

Aha Shake Heartbreak by Kings of Leon
Jul 28 2025

Both the melody and the voice of the singer aren't interesting in the slightest

Hot Rats by Frank Zappa
Jul 31 2025

I'm not ready for an album with weird sounds and noises.

The Score by Fugees
Aug 02 2025

Although there are some songs that I like, the album as a whole has no cohesion at all

Guero by Beck
Aug 03 2025

Surprisingly I liked the album for the most part. Might at some songs to my playlist.

Can't Buy A Thrill by Steely Dan
Aug 05 2025

I didn't even notice I listened to all the songs, so although there is no song that stands out to me, I'd say it's probably a decent album.

Miriam Makeba by Miriam Makeba
Aug 08 2025

It was an interesting change compared to the other albums, just not my genre though. I do question why you would put a song consisting of the male singer constantly laughing on your official album. I know that at least 3 of the songs are not hers originally.

Figure 8 by Elliott Smith
Aug 09 2025

Really boring, his voice adds nothing and I'd say pretty generic?

Aug 10 2025

Not my genre, the first songs are very repetitive.

Dub Housing by Pere Ubu
Aug 11 2025

Nothing could have prepared me for this dumbster fire. Somehow worse than the other random-sound-album that is Welcome to the pleasuredome

Fragile by Yes
Aug 12 2025

Actually quite a nice album to listen to. No songs added to my playlists though.

Kid A by Radiohead
Aug 13 2025

Really really boring

Orbital 2 by Orbital
Aug 14 2025

sounds like 90's 2D videogame music. The songs are way too long

Blood On The Tracks by Bob Dylan
Aug 16 2025

The first song already made me dislike the album. Very repetitive. The way he sings is very annoying.

Smokers Delight by Nightmares On Wax
Aug 17 2025

It's quite a nice mellow album, the songs flow into each other really well. I actually had to go back to make sure I wasn't listening to the same song, but surprisingly every single one sounds really different. At the end of the album I was a bit done with the album though.

Rip It Up by Orange Juice
Aug 18 2025

Boring

All Mod Cons by The Jam
Aug 20 2025

Thought the album had quite a bit of variation. I'm not saving any songs, but wouldn't mind listening to it again. edit: changed it to a 3 as I didn't save any songs from the album.

After The Gold Rush by Neil Young
Aug 22 2025

Although it's not a genre I listen to, I appreciate his lyrics.

Synchronicity by The Police
Aug 23 2025

Really enjoyed the album. The melodies are diverse, you can hear that it's the same artist and the lyrics are about something. edit: changed it to a 3 after listening to it again. Only really liked one song.

The Grand Tour by George Jones
Aug 24 2025

I do not enjoy this genre. I couldn't finish it.

xx by The xx
Aug 25 2025

Really love their instrumentals, but the vocals sound kinda... ?cheap?

Vauxhall And I by Morrissey
Aug 28 2025

I enjoyed the instrumentals a lot, the singer himself is just isn't my kind of sound

#1 Record by Big Star
Aug 29 2025

I really despise this kind of vocal. The overall album was a bit boring

Odessey And Oracle by The Zombies
Aug 30 2025

The genre of the album is boring to me, but I appreciate the little stories the songs tell. The lyrics aren't your generic pop song.

She's So Unusual by Cyndi Lauper
Aug 31 2025

Oke so I enjoyed the songs I already knew, the overal album was quite oke to listen to, so I was ready to settle for a 2,5/5 (so 3 stars), but then I had to listen to a song that was only playing through my right ear which is really annoying, and... yeah yeah... no. Also, her voice is annoying.

Rings Around The World by Super Furry Animals
Sep 01 2025

It's quite a diverse album I'd say. It was quite all-right to listen to, but in the end I was happy it was over.

Sep 03 2025

It was all-righ to listen to, nothing special, some songs drag out too long, 2/5

Head Hunters by Herbie Hancock
Sep 05 2025

Actually really enjoyed the album. If I'm in a certain mood I'd fully enjoy the whole album I think, so gonna give it a 4, and might adjust it later.

Seventeen Seconds by The Cure
Sep 06 2025

Sounds very 80's, which isn't necessary what I listen to. Bit repetitive.

New Forms by Roni Size
Sep 07 2025

Vocals sound very cheap. I hate everything.

1977 by Ash
Sep 08 2025

Every song sounds the same.

Abbey Road by Beatles
Sep 09 2025

First part was really enjoyable, the last 3/4th was not my taste.

Cypress Hill by Cypress Hill
Sep 10 2025

Don't get why this deserves a spot in this list. Everything sounds the same and not meaningful at all

Soul Mining by The The
Sep 11 2025

Not sure what I don't like about this album, just a bit boring I guess?

Shadowland by k.d. lang
Sep 18 2025

Started out hopeful but it's just another boring country album.

Blackstar by David Bowie
Sep 20 2025

Boring and weird

Sep 21 2025

It sounds very 70's/80's, and that's all it has to it for me. It's just boring to me. I did vaguely like The Court of the crimson king.

This Year's Model by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Sep 29 2025

I didnt enjoy his voice, the album isn't for me.

Oct 01 2025

Really enjoyed the album altough it's not my genre. Het album klonk als een geheel. But every song was unique. I really enjoyed his voice and the little stories his songs told. I didn't add any song to a playlist but I did listen to the album twice. 2nd time I could actually sing along to some parts of some songs. Edit: It has come to my attention that most of the songs on this album are covers, which most are literally a copy of the original... I'll still give it a 2,5.

Violator by Depeche Mode
Oct 02 2025

Actually really enjoyed every song and also you can hear it's made by the same artist on the same album.

Who's Next by The Who
Oct 03 2025

Maybe they are the originals of this genre, but it sounds extremely generic.

Beauty And The Beat by The Go-Go's
Oct 04 2025

At the end I was absolutely tired of her voice. It's a 1,5

Jazz Samba by Stan Getz
Oct 05 2025

It's just elevator music, every song sounds the same.

Fleet Foxes by Fleet Foxes
Oct 08 2025

It was a nice change in genre, not all songs spoke to me but the vibe of the album was nice. 2,5/5

Gasoline Alley by Rod Stewart
Oct 09 2025

It's poorly produced and there is nothing interesting

Oct 12 2025

Just kinda sounds like songs a starter would make? All songs are very repetitive and boring half way through.

Phrenology by The Roots
Oct 14 2025

There's like 2 songs that I kinda enjoyed, but that doesn't make up for the other songs that are all kinda trash

Zombie by Fela Kuti
Oct 15 2025

The build up of every single song takes way to long, it's just 4 minutes of the same, followed by another 4 minutes of the same...

Imagine by John Lennon
Oct 18 2025

I don't remember the first half, but I think that I enjoyed it

Ingenue by k.d. lang
Oct 20 2025

Her voice is amazing, but all her songs are so boring, I haven't finished any.

Channel Orange by Frank Ocean
Oct 21 2025

Bro uses whole album to complain... jezus man.

Idlewild by Everything But The Girl
Oct 22 2025

Why is this album on this list... every song sounds the same....

Dire Straits by Dire Straits
Oct 23 2025

Not very special tbh

Everything Must Go by Manic Street Preachers
Oct 24 2025

Sounds a bit to generic to deserve a higher score.

Graceland by Paul Simon
Oct 25 2025

Really enjoyed the album. It sounds like one whole yet there is some variety.

At Newport 1960 by Muddy Waters
Oct 26 2025

I don't enjoy this genre, every song sounds the same to me. 1,5/5

In Our Heads by Hot Chip
Oct 27 2025

I enjoy the sound of the album.

At Folsom Prison by Johnny Cash
Oct 29 2025

More than half is covers... again. Those are the most interessting ones.

Hms Fable by Shack
Oct 30 2025

Arrival by ABBA
Oct 31 2025

Feel a bit biased because Iknow some songs, but it was quite fresh compared to the other albums.

Heaven Or Las Vegas by Cocteau Twins
Nov 08 2025

It had something that was a bit annoying, but overal it was an oke album

Either Or by Elliott Smith
Nov 09 2025

1,45/5 not unbearable to listen to, but nothing special either.

Atomizer by Big Black
Nov 10 2025

The author of the 1001 album book really liked experimental music... but I don't

Catch A Fire by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Nov 11 2025

Didn't feel like any song, liked every song, didn't notice the album had started over again until after the 2nd song... So a well deserved 5/5 I'd say.

Cross by Justice
Nov 12 2025

Easy 5/5, my absolute favorite album. There were so many songs on it that I know seperately but never realised they were from the same artist. The transitions were perfection. Every song has its own identity yet you can hear it's from the same artist. Favorite album so far

Sweet Baby James by James Taylor
Nov 13 2025

Not a bad album, just not my genre. But very boring 1,5/5

It started interesting, but went downhill quickly from there 1,5/5

Tea for the Tillerman by Cat Stevens
Dec 01 2025

Lost In The Dream by The War On Drugs
Dec 02 2025

It started great, but went downhill FAST. It's very repetitive. 1,45/5

Songs In The Key Of Life by Stevie Wonder
Dec 06 2025

Way too long. Knew some songs, vibe was all-right but not cohesive.

Nebraska by Bruce Springsteen
Dec 08 2025

Sounds like Bruce Springsteen, but every song is literally the same boring song...

I Should Coco by Supergrass
Dec 09 2025

Took a bit to open up to the album, but in the end it was really enjoyable, 3,4/5

Vespertine by Björk
Dec 26 2025

Every song is literally the same. The way she sings is soooo whiney... please make it end.

Dec 29 2025

The album is quite enjoyable, even as a non-smoker.

Dec 30 2025

Every song is the same and none are note worthy. Why is this on the list... 1,5

Dec 31 2025

It's not my genre I guess? Sounded quite repetitive. 1,5/5

The Cars by The Cars
Jan 01 2026

I don't get the appeal, 1,5/5 for me.

Lam Toro by Baaba Maal
Jan 19 2026

The first half, I really enjoyed. But halfway through I got a bit done with it. 2,5/5

Sound of Silver by LCD Soundsystem
Apr 27 2026

It's all-right, doesn't sound too special to me. 2,5/5

Jul 04 2026

The first half of the songs had some interesting elements to them, the rest is just nigga nigga big dick.... 1,5/5

Maxinquaye by Tricky
Jul 05 2026

2/5 nothing outstanding

Bookends by Simon & Garfunkel
Jul 06 2026

Just way too boring for me 1,5/5

Jul 07 2026

Didn't enjoy the album all that much, not my genre I guess. Plus a bit tired of the sax. 1/5/5

Rattlesnakes by Lloyd Cole And The Commotions
Jul 08 2026

Bit generic 1,5/5

Ten by Pearl Jam
Jul 10 2026

Generic rock

Axis: Bold As Love by Jimi Hendrix
Jul 12 2026

Not an album I'd listen to again but I finished it before I knew it so not bad. 2,2/5

The Sounds Of India by Ravi Shankar
Jul 24 2026
