How have I never heard of this band or album before? I absolutely love this album. Standouts? All of them. There is not one song on this album that I wouldn't listen to again. Sure, there's only 8 songs, but 5 of them are over 5 minutes and 1 is over 10. In past reviews, I have had a problem with songs that are longer than they can keep me entertained. That is not a problem with this album. I have to give a special mention to "Torn Curtain." Just an amazing album closer and possibly my favorite from the album

Every song is beautiful and made with love. "Bluebird Wine," "Boulder to Birmingham," and "Queen of the Silver Dollar" are my stand out picks. While there are a lot of covers on this album, it doesn't take away from Emmylou Harris' amazing vocals, which are definitely why everyone should listen to this album.

If you would've told me that I would enjoy a thrash metal album, I would've said that you're crazy, but maybe now I'm the crazy one. Thrash metal is all about the guitars and they did not disappoint. I think the vocals work perfectly and the fast tempos keep it interesting. The title track was really good. This is what the generator is about. Finding albums you wouldn't otherwise have listened to and absolutely having a blast.

I needed to warm up to this album before I started to love it. The first 4 tracks came and went unceremoniously. Then "Moral Kiosk" changed it all. I finally heard what I should have been hearing all along. After that song, pretty much every song on the album is just really good. Along with "Moral Kiosk," I will also choose "Catapult," and "We Walk" as standouts. I went back to listen to "Radio Free Europe" because it's the most popular song on the album and although I had a newfound appreciation for it, it still was not a favorite of mine. Overall, a really good album that I would absolutely come back to.

I was excited when I saw this cover come up. Easily recognizable and highly regarded. I just am not a huge fan. The lyrics were not great in my opinion and sometimes I feel like I would have had a better experience if the entire album was instrumental. Don't get me wrong, some songs are beautiful. "Candle In the Wind" is an amazing song throughout. The opening instrumental of "Funeral for a Friend" is so good. "Grey Seal" and "Your Sister Can't Twist (But She Can Rock'n' Roll)" and "Social Disease" are also standouts. Sadly, I just find myself getting bored halfway through a lot of these songs. The best songs are really good and I would come back to. The worst ones, honestly I wouldn't skip, but I don't see myself listening to the entire album again. A normal 10 song album or shorter version of many songs might land at a 4 or a 5, but as it is, it's just too long and doesn't use the time how I would want it to.

Interesting. There is a wide use of instruments. All the songs sound amazing. I was not blown away by any song, but very much appreciated each of them. I would probably listen to any of these songs again and possibly the whole album. "Take It as It Comes" was surprisingly my favorite of the album. It's a simple track, but does a lot in the 2:15. "Light My Fire" was a good catchy tune with a strong instrumental in the middle. Jim Morrison is a very strong vocalist.

What can I say? It's Jazz. I like it. I don't think I'd ever come back to this album for fun. Maybe if I was doing a boring task and didn't want to get distracted, but wanted to be entertained. This is perfect for that. I've realized that Jazz is about getting into the moment. Becoming the music. Nothing groundbreaking here. Just good tunes for good times

Early on, I was considering a 1. My mind has never been changed so much. Most songs are so fun and happy. "A Pair of Brown Eyes" and "Sally Maclennane" were the songs that made me question my final rating. From there, the songs were mostly great. "A Pistol for Paddy Garcia" is an amazing instrumental track. Finally, "And The Band Played Waltzing Matilda" is such a heartbreaking song. It may seem out of place on an album full of songs about drinking, but I am glad this song is here. All unmentioned songs are fine at least. Only song I could put as worse than fine is "The Old Main Drag." At points in this album, I seriously considered every single ranking.

I would totally listen to one song from this album and be happy. 8 back to back though? Never again. It's cliche after cliche with not much character. All songs are fine, just none of them stand out. "Rock Steady" is probably my favorite. I could raise it up a star in the future maybe.

First time hearing Joni Mitchell and I'm delighted. This album was poetic and fun. I don't relate much to these songs, but they are good to listen to. Her voice is amazing. It sometimes seems like she is just telling a story with some music in the background, though.

This is my first Bowie album. I expected more. I'm looking forward to hearing Bowie's other albums, but if they are like this one, they will be perfectly fine. My perception of Bowie before this was not "perfectly fine," though. Tracks 4 and 5 were the best. None of the tracks were bad. I'd listen to each one again. I hope I like the other Bowie albums more, but as it stands, this one is respectable.

I was VERY pleasantly surprised by this album. I had never heard of this group before, but I liked each and every song. First, "Can You Forgive Her?" Is such a banger. The first taste of this album is truly the best you'll get here. It did leave me disappointed that no other song could reach that high, but other songs, like "Dreaming of the Queen" and "Young Offender" were also really good. At points, I felt like the music and vocals didn't belong on the same track, but both are still good. The positives outweigh the negatives here.

What? I saw on Wikipedia that "Hero" inspired the Sex Pistols. Ok, that's cool I like their music. I can hear how it inspired them, but my gosh that song is not good. I don't care that the vocals weren't traditionally good, but I do care that it's not even singing and he's just moaning random things in my ear. "Leb' wohl" is the worst offender of this. Terrible song. Boring and moany. "After Eight" is ok I guess. Not great lyrically, but it doesn't have to be. The instrumental is boring though. Also "Seeland" is boring. "E-Musik" is less boring but too long and therefore gets boring near the end. Only the opener "ISI" is anything better than bad or ok. This track was good. I'd listen again. As for most everything else, I will gladly pass on a second listen.

I like the idea of this album. The first half is connected and tells a story. I don't know what that story is, but it exists. The second half strongly resembles the first, but it was allowed to be it's own thing. I definitely enjoyed the second half better. "Wake Up" got me to.. well, wake up after a fairly peaceful first half. "In the Backseat" is a great closer and very emotional. The best song for me was "Rebellion (Lies)." The second half saves this album for me, but I can't put it any higher than a 3. I could absolutely see this going up after listening to some of the songs again.

What are these other instruments doing in my Bongo album! MORE BONGOS ... Anyway. This album is just so fun. All tunes, covers or not, are all very familiar and easy to vibe to. I guess I really like bongos. Never before have I really listened to bongos in a serious manner, but it works. BONGOS

I would love to give this another chance. I really liked some of the songs and as the album went on it got better. They definitely experimented with this album and I respect it and enjoyed a lot of it. My biggest gripe is the vocals that are barely discernible. Maybe if this album was on YouTube Music or Spotify, it would sound better. There were things that I liked and things that I didn't like. Again, I would love to come back later and hopefully up my rating

So, I didn't save my review from yesterday. Unfortunate! Anyway, I couldn't finish the album yesterday as the album put me to sleep, but in mostly a good way. It's peaceful and definitely is something I'd listen to in between songs with heavy guitars and strong vocals.

It has some great songs, but honestly they all sound too similar. I like everything about every song though. Nothing bad about this album. Just there's also nothing in this album that makes me too excited. It's really solid and I hope to listen to these songs another time.

Alternative Rock comes in many forms and this is one of my favorites. The bands I listen to the most today absolutely were indirectly influenced by this band. I'm not the biggest fan of the vocals, but they absolutely work in this way. "Freak Scene" and "Let It Ride" are some amazing tracks and to end it all with "Don't" is vile in the best way. I can see why this album is rated quite low, but I do not agree one bit! Can't believe this is from the 80s

Those basslines though. Best part of the album. Singing is fine, drums are groovy. Lyrics are fun or whatever. Might have to listen to their other stuff after this. No song stands out, but all of them uplift the album. "The Chauffeur" was not a good way to end the album, though. Still, good music to vibe to

Only a little bit boring. I could listen to a few songs regularly, but a whole album of this isn't ideal. Not much to any of these songs and that works. I liked "Alameda" and "Between The Bars" the best. Fine album all around.

"Alright guys, we need a band name" "The Who?" "No, that's taken" "The Fish" "No, that's dumb" "Hmmm.. The... The... The..." "PERFECT"

I liked a lot about this, but didn't love much. "Only Dreaming Now" and The Wolf of Velvet Fortune" were my favorites. There are a lot of songs here that I wouldn't mind never hearing again, but nothing that I never want to hear again.

There aren't many lyrics, but what is there is meaningful and well put together. There is nothing here that I don't like. Every song, no matter how long, never gets dull. It's crazy that they can keep you intrigued for 13 minutes, but they do. This is my first Pink Floyd album on this list, but I am fairly familiar with their work, so an easy day today. Great album.

Very weird album. I love most things about this, but the lyrics are just too weird for my liking. Not weird in subject matter necessarily, but how they present it. I liked the opening track, "A Rush and a Push and the Land Is Ours" as well as "Last Night I Dreamt That Somebody Loved Me." I could absolutely see myself ignoring the lyrics and having a good time listening, but some songs just get downgraded by the lyrics. "Girlfriend in a Coma" and "Stop Me If You Think You've Heard This One Before" are the worst offenders. Overall, I liked it and am excited to get their other albums in the future.

I hate saying bad things about albums that definitely had a lot of hard work that went into it, but this is just really boring in my opinion. I lost interest halfway through and it never brought me back. "Crystalised" is a really good song though. I'm glad i know it now. Everything else for the most part will be forgotten by tomorrow

A tale of two halves. After 3 minutes, I was waiting for it to be done. Those first two sections are, for lack of a better term, awful. I would never subject my ears to that again. But then we get to the last two tracks and it changes significantly. Those weren't just fine, they were genuinely amazing. The 18 minute section might just be my favorite. I have never ran into the problem before. Half the album is bad and the other half is great. What to do what to do. Well, you already know what I did, but I don't. I guess I'll find out tomorrow!

Just so good. I hadn't heard any song other than "Crawlin" and "In the End" but this album is filled cover to cover with playlist worthy songs for me. I don't know what more to say. I wasn't surprised, but glad my high expectations were exceeded.

I really don't know what to write for this review, I just did not like 1 second of this album

The album is funky. I like funky. I don't like murder or weed quite as much though. That's most of what this album is. I like the flow and rhythm, but can't get behind the lyrics. I wouldn't really listen again, but I can say I'm glad to have listened to it. It did overstay it's welcome, though.

Halfway through and IDK what to think yet. Not a 1, not a 5... not anywhere in the middle either really... Wow, this album gets deep. But what isn't deep is John Prine's voice. I don't really like his voice all that much. Definitely takes away from some songs. I wanted to like this album more than I did. "Your Flag Decal Won't Get You into Heaven Anymore" is the standout I think. Other songs had their moments, but were just not good all the way through.

I liked a lot about this album. What I don't necessarily like is the mumbling and random noises, but it can work. I appreciate the story elements of all these songs. No standouts, really. Just a fine album with some fine songs

So, this is not what I expected. I guess you can't go into a Pink Floyd album you've never heard and expect to know what it sounds like. There's actually a lot here that I don't like. Weirdly placed instruments that clash, interesting vocal choices and strange lyrics. However, altogether, it works well somehow. From the beginning, Pink Floyd knew how to experiment and put together albums that are not similar to anything that's ever been made before, but still be enjoyable. I don't think I can choose any standouts here because they all fit into the same category of "interesting, I'd listen again probably." So yeah. This album is strange and shouldn't work, but it does and I'd listen again probably.

If I liked folk music, this might be my favorite album yet. Unfortunately, there's only so much folk music I can handle in one sitting. Most songs here are fine by themselves and aren't long at all. There's not much going on here either. Few lyrics, strong vocals and some light guitar playing. Also, all of these are just traditional folk songs or covers. So... the only new thing we're getting is the vocals. It's worth it honestly. I did struggle to get through to the end, though.

The novelty wore off too quickly. This really is a time capsule, though. It was interesting to hear a crowd of fans from 1962 vibing along with one of the best vocalists ever. I wouldn't necessarily listen again, but glad I experienced this album. OH and that band was really good too.

I already had gotten Rum Sodomy & The Lash, so this was a welcome surprise. This one isn't nearly as fun as the last one. Just kind of boring at times. Still, it was solid. The title track as well as "Fiesta" were really good. Beyond that, they were fine. Not the best thing I've heard, but fine.

Neil Young should stick to songwriting. This is not appealing to listen to at all. The band is fine, but there's not too much going on there ever. This was a chore to sit through

*yawn* Why is this album here? Didn't do well in the country it was made in and barely gained any traction in the US. It's just really boring as a whole. Not one song is very interesting. Sure, none are bad but just was not easy to listen to the whole thing. If an album can't be listened to in one sitting, it isn't good. Apart from that, the vocals are OK mostly and a little bad at times, there is a nice variety of instruments on some songs, but they all serve the same purpose of not being too important to the song. The vocals are the star and they aren't great. I listened to the same song 12 times in a row and didn't like it any more each successive time. Not a 1/5 because it wasn't bad, just boring.

What do I even say? Free Bird absolutely steals the show, however every other song is great in its own right. For the most this, this is everything I want in a rock album. Only thing holding it back is probably just some dull moments. I imagine after 2 or 3 listens, though, that I wouldn't feel that way anymore. This album truly has some amazing hits and some lesser known tracks that still hold together a really good listening experience.

I've never had so much enjoyment in trying not to fall asleep. This is some really good music with nonsensical lyrics that just feel right whether they mean anything or not. I haven't been the biggest fan of shoegaze so far, but this album is really good. I'm gonna go to sleep now

Not my favorite thing ever. It was overall very fine. The album cover is iconic, so Inwas excited for it. I wasn't really disappointed, but it also didn't blow me away. Just fine.

I got the urge for some reason to rate every song. Here we go Bittersweet Symphony - 5/5. I already knew this song. It's nothing crazy, but it just works. Sonnet - 5/5. Pleasantly surprised. I honestly liked it maybe slightly more than Bittersweet Symphony. The Rolling People - 3/5. Not bad, but I couldn't get into it. Kinda bland. The Drugs Don't Work - 5/5. This is a beautiful song. Very emotional and pleasant to listen to. Catching the Butterfly - 4/5. The verses are amazing, the chorus is fine. Neon Wilderness - ?/5. Can I really rate this with the others? It is good at what it does, just there to be an interlude/wind down. I like when an album does that. Space and Time - 4/5. It was very calming. Weeping Willow - 4/5. They're all starting to sound very similar. Of course it's a good similar, but I need more variety or the reviews are just going to say the same thing over and over. Lucky Man - 5/5. Different enough, also really good and powerful. This is definitely the type of song I'd usually listen to. One Day - 4/5. Another slow, deep and loud song. I still like it the 10th time, though. This Time - 3/5. Fine, a little short and a little bland. At least it's different. Velvet Morning - 4/5. Yeah.. it's good and loud and soft and the other things. Come On / Deep Freeze (Hidden Track) - 3/5. Come On was not my favorite on the album. Let's see how the Hidden Track holds up. What da baby doin? Overall, I thought for a while I would give this a 5/5. I liked all the songs early on and even later on in the album, the songs were still really good, just a lot of the same and it got boring over time. I would listen to each and every song again on its own though.

Not bad musically, just largely uninteresting. My favorite was honestly probably Change which wasn't even on the original album. Bloodsport was a nice instrumental. Most songs followed the same pattern of a few random lyrics followed by the name of the song said over and over again and then some instrumentals. That's a fine formula. Nothing great though.

If you would've told me that I would enjoy a thrash metal album, I would've said that you're crazy, but maybe now I'm the crazy one. Thrash metal is all about the guitars and they did not disappoint. I think the vocals work perfectly and the fast tempos keep it interesting. The title track was really good. This is what the generator is about. Finding albums you wouldn't otherwise have listened to and absolutely having a blast.

Great background music. Solid music to listen to. Really interesting vocals in a good way. Pretty good songwriting. Nothing to dislike here, just not exactly for me.

What went wrong? Actually, I have no idea why I didn't enjoy this album. Everything is fine, but for some reason I just did not want to listen to 11 ZZ Top songs. Sharp Dressed Man was good. Shoutout to Duck Dynasty. Other than that, all the songs are new to me and I probably won't be listening to them again much. Weird.

Well, I of course have heard a few Beastie Boys songs before this. My least favorite of the bunch was always Sabotage. Hearing the whole album this song is on makes it make much more sense. I did not enjoy this at all. Why so many instrumental tracks? Also, why do they feel the need to say their rapper names in every verse? I know who you are by now, Ad Rock. The song with Q-Tip was fine. I thought more favorably of the Beastie Boys an hour ago.

I wrote a whole review and then it didn't save because it was already past time and I was writing it as I was going and that is honestly the cherry on top for this album because I wanted to be done. I respect it, but no, sorry.

This album feels pointless. I would feel ripped off if I went to this concert. I get that it's not all about vocals and whatnot, but there could be some more. The guitar and drums playing is really good, but the same throughout the whole album. Do something else. It leaves me wanting more and less at the same time. And what's the point of this being live? There are a few instances of talking to the crowd and a few instances of cheering from the audience. But other than that, we get full 20 minute stretches of the boring playing with some admittedly beautiful vocals. Like, there really is nothing wrong with this album. It's just boring and pointless.

Gonna review every song. Janie Jones - 3/5. I like it, but I wouldn't listen often. Hopefully there's better stuff in this album. Remote Control - 3/5. Another solid song, just not vibing with the vocals/lyrics. I'm so Bored with the U.S.A - 2/5. Somehow I'm so bored with this album. I love some of their later work, but this isn't great so far. White Riot - 2/5. Yeah idk I'm as surprised as you are. Hate & War - 3/5. Best one so far probably. What's My Name - 3/5. Catchy I guess. Deny - 3/5. This was the most promising, but I'm not digging the singing. Not necessarily the vocals are bad though. Ok I'm gonna stop reviewing the songs for the benefit of the album. Instead I'll write a full review after. Yeah. I just didn't click with this album. I appreciate the amazing guitar, bass and drums playing. It can get boring at times, but they mostly keep it interesting. I don't even mind the vocals or the lyrics. I just don't think it works for me here. I am excited for London Calling. Hopefully that one is much better than this one. Now I'm going to listen to Ramones Greatest Hits to remind myself I do like punk rock.

Sometimes it's almost like he's talking but in a singing tone. Idk what that means, but it's true. It's one of the best albums that is listed under one person's name I've listened to yet. It's the perfect mix of many genres in my opinion. It runs on the longer side and a couple songs early on got boring quick, but most of these songs are some that I'd absolutely come back to. Many great themes are explored in this album that any can relate to. Honestly didnt expect to enjoy this album as much as I did.

How do you begin to review this album? I guess I'll start with the song titles. I got a good laugh out of a few of them, especially the short instrumental tracks that have no real reason to exist, but I love them for that. That honestly sums up this album. Does an hour long album about the US state of Illinois need to exist? Absolutely not. But is it one of the best pieces of art ever made? Absolutely. But seriously, those titles are something else. A whole paragraph as a title is crazy and it's balanced out by the one word "Jacksonville" and "Chicago" unless you're reading the vinyl version for some reason. The album itself is beautiful. I didn't instantly click with the singing, but after a bit I got used to it and enjoyed it. I think I actually prefer the female vocalist to Sufjan Steven's himself, but they work so well together. So many instruments are at play here too and it never feels like too much. The lyrics aren't my favorite part of this album, but even they are really good. Whether it's a story or just emotions, every word feels important. Something about this album feels nostalgic and familiar. I have definitely heard "Chicago" somewhere. I didn't know what to expect with this album. I honestly thought it looked like a jazz album, which isn't too far off at times. I was absolutely blown away by this album. Thank you generator for showing me this gem.

This album was really good. I'm starting to realize that I really like metal music. What isn't to like? Heavy drums and guitars and interesting vocals. I didn't get completely into this album, but I would love to come back to it in the future.

This album is fine. Nothing too special in my opinion, but some good tunes. I like the instrumental tracks. The vocals aren't amazing, but it's fine.

There's not really anything bad about this album. I like some hip hop, but a lot of this feels bland to me. He has a fine singing voice when he's not just talking. He has a good flow, but I think the backing tracks are the star of the show more than the actual vocals. U Not Like Me, P.I.M.P and In Da Club were my favorites. Solid album, wouldn't listen to the whole thing again, though. Also, Eminem improved it a bit lol.

Nothing great, but nothing bad here. It kind of blended together honestly. I have never been the biggest Oasis fan, so I'm not surprised I'm indifferent to this album. I'd recommend to any rock lover though.

Solid background music. Gets bery annoying when paying close attention. What is going on here? Random people talking in the background saying the same lines over and over. I can respect it, but I won't listen again. I think the singer has a pretty good voice. The backing tracks are also fine. Just nothing stands out and it gets annoying at times

It's not bad, but not exactly great either. Not a fan of the singing and the instrumentals didn't hit very well either for me. Solid album, though

I'm slightly disappointed, but still I am glad I finally listened to this album after wanting to for a long time. Song 2 is honestly one of my favorite songs ever, so I was hoping to find some similarly amazing songs on this album, but that really didn't happen. Sure, a couple songs stood out over the rest along with Song 2, like M.O.R and Death of a Party. Most of the songs, however, just felt... there. The album is pretty long. I feel like a couple songs could have been kept for the deluxe version. Altogether, would listen again and probably will listen to most of these songs again, but as a whole, probably not.

Wow. I am very familiar with later songs by Arctic Monkeys. I didn't think I knew any song from this album, but I did know A Certain Romance and I love that song. My standouts are definitely A Certain Romance, From the Ritz to the Rubble, Riot Van and Fake Tales of San Francisco. Every song was really good, though. The only maybe downside is this is a VERY British album lol. I think it works here and I wouldn't want anything else from an Arctic Monkeys album, but it can be a bit much sometimes. I do love this album after the first listen. It is not the best thing ever made, but it is fun and familiar. Nothing not to like here.
