Laibach

3/5

Strong opening very very weak ending.

Stand!

Sly & The Family Stone

3/5

The song sex machine is offensive for being 13 minutes long despite just being an instrumental loop with charlie brown adult vocals for parts of it, rest of the album is good

Rage Against The Machine

4/5

antidisestablishmentarianism

Music From Big Pink

2/5

The last song being I shall be released is fitting because I was released from listening to mid after it.

3 + 3

The Isley Brothers

3/5

Solid

Melodrama

Lorde

5/5

notably the track hard feelings/loveless after 4 minutes beat sounds similar to the happy ghast music disc from minecraft

The Idiot

Iggy Pop

1/5

I like my songs with lyrics. I think an instrumental song is better with lyrics than with just instrumentals. This album would be a 4 if it was just instrumentals. That is how bad the lyrics and singing is. Also I had to do a double take when listening to mass production because it sounds like those scenes in games where your character is tripping balls and is going to black out.

The Gilded Palace Of Sin

The Flying Burrito Brothers

1/5

Gave up on singing at the end of the album, understandable i would be tired of singing bad songs as well.

the largest throw job by the instrumentals for the vocals, if you look at the wiki for this album even the vocalist hated how the songs sounded.

I Against I

Bad Brains

4/5

nothing stands out but its very good

Go Girl Crazy

The Dictators

3/5

Heroes

David Bowie

no man with a voice this sultry should be threatening to touch me

A Short Album About Love

The Divine Comedy

4/5

short and sweet

Marcus Garvey

Burning Spear

1/5

I have now found my most hated music genre. I am now officially biased against reggae music. I'm sure its political or something but like its the same backing track with different vocals for every song.

Cosmo's Factory

Creedence Clearwater Revival

3/5

kinda generic but not bad very mid in terms of rock

Physical Graffiti

Led Zeppelin

4/5

most of the songs are very similar

The Notorious Byrd Brothers

The Byrds

3/5

The chefs in the kitchen were making some nice simple mashed potatoes and steaks and then some dumb ass sous chef said "but what if we just deep fried the entire kitchen" and then everything burned down.

Haunted Dancehall

The Sabres Of Paradise

3/5

they put the frogs in the metal pipes and called it music

Bob Dylan is white people reggae, there must be a brain fog from the 60s for people to think this shit is good.

Can't Buy A Thrill

Very good album, no bangers but base line is good

Juju

Siouxsie And The Banshees

5/5

this shit is fire, you better come right in

3/5

nothing special just some blues, probably a 4 if I liked any song

Third

Soft Machine

4/5

interesting jazz until the most recognizable riff in the 4th song around 5 minutes in happens (good to know where that is from). Also a lot of this sounds like an evolved form of the wii play menu music.

That's The Way Of The World

Earth, Wind & Fire

4/5

the fire in the name is accurate

Songs For Swingin' Lovers!

Frank Sinatra

4/5

bold to put a fallout radio mix on a top 1001 albums list but whatever it is good enough i suppose

My Life In The Bush Of Ghosts

Brian Eno

4/5

take horse to slaughter house -quaran

Court And Spark

5/5

I so heavily dislike the vocals that it knocks the album down farther than it should the instrumentals are ok

not gonna knock this album cause it is quite good, but what the actual fuck is the song Don't cause it don't belong on this album

The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars

David Bowie

5/5

masterclass, starman is the obvious hit but there are so many more good songs in this album

Extremely Unique instrumentals from anything else in the list thus far and this album is incredible. We got Donkey Country level music beats in this thing.

Kings of Leon

3/5

hate the way the vocals sound but the album is fine regardless

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band

Moving Pictures

Rush

4/5

Already liked Tom Sawyer and Limelight going into this, rest of the album is a mix of good and bad, the camera eye goes on a bit too long for what it is and yvz ain't great.

Mermaid Avenue

Billy Bragg

3/5

the vibes are giving 3 not really any good song but no real bad song either

5/5

most inaccurate name for an album ever

Music Has The Right To Children

Boards of Canada

This is kinda just an album of minecraft music discs top to bottom and at first I thought I was reentering the Haunted Dancehall

3/5

it's ok kinda generic sounding

Stardust

Willie Nelson

4/5

very much open starry night in the countryside vibes with this one, very nice and slow

Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret

Soft Cell

3/5

not sure why tainted love is 3 times on the album with 1 being longer and 1 being a different version of that longer song, some of the lyrics are weird but that is kinda the point not a bad listen but nothing over the top

Kick Out The Jams (Live)

Jane's Addiction

4/5

I just listened to it and can't remember much all I remember is this is pretty good

Post Orgasmic Chill

Skunk Anansie

5/5

Alt title for this album is Post Nut Clarity. This album is kinda like 2 different 6 song albums stitched together where you have harder and softer songs mixed that fit well together.

The Suburbs

Arcade Fire

5/5

Not a single bad song on this album, big fan of 2 part songs that build up the 2nd part to be a better song, and songs that transition from the end of one to the beginning of the next because it makes it feel more like an album.

Apple Venus Volume 1

XTC

4/5

what?

The Trinity Session

Cowboy Junkies

5/5

love the vocals, very good blues album

At Budokan

Cheap Trick

4/5

Adding Use Somebody to the list of songs I recognize but have no clue who made them, overall album was good most of the songs are filler but the good songs are very good

Machine Head

Deep Purple

5/5

The Smoke on the Water riff is like the first cool thing you learn when learning any instrument, hearing it sends my ass down the alice in wonderland rabbit hole to time travel back to learning the piano. The album is also fire.

The Last Broadcast

Doves

4/5

this is one of those ethereal sounding albums

Harvest

Paranoid

A Northern Soul

The Verve
