"Absolute" came close to working for me, but not quite. Just the most milquetoast '80s pop I've ever heard. It almost sounds like stock music or low-budget movie music that tries but fails to emulate '80s pop. Doesn't do it for me.
Nice old-school punk with some stylistic flavor that I really appreciate. Gives me some sort of shoegazey vibes at times but still feels like great classic punk.
Likely more to my taste than most Slipknot albums. I appreciate the talent involved, but it still largely doesn't do a ton for me. Gehannah, Snuff, and Vendetta stand out.
Black Rose is a fun song. Appreciate the musicianship here and there but overall too slow for me.
I'm sure I listened to this one many many years ago. I wish the guitars had a little bit more presence and sometimes the orchestral arrangement doesn't seem to make sense to me, but it's Metallica doing an insane set list so I have a hard time not enjoying it. Production gripes will probably drag it down a star or so though.
Of all the albums I've listened to, this is one of them. Not that there's anything particularly wrong with it.
Supremely groovy. Good stuff!
Reminds me of some of the Sonic Youth I've heard. The production/mixing drag it down a bit for me, but this one makes me wish there were half star ratings here.
I've read about this album - the lyrics were mostly done by Richey Edwards, who disappeared a few months later, so it's often mentioned online as a sort of dark album due to referencing many of his personal struggles - but never actually listened. Damn, is it good. Great riffs with awesome tone. Interesting samples and lyrical content. I know the rest of it is likely different to some extent but it makes me want to listen to more MSP. Yep, enjoyed a TON of their music today.
Inoffensive, but very samey. Not particularly for me.
Not my favorite Beatles album but it's up there. Banger after banger after banger.
I've never gotten too into Megadeth. The album is perfectly cromulent thrash, but not super memorable in my opinion. Wake Up Dead and Peace Sells are classics.
Some weird country/pop/soul mishmash that is just not for me. I appreciate the music here and there, but it's slow and the vocals are boring at best, bizarre at worst (but never in a way that works for me). Just nothing about it that makes me want to come back to this album or listen to the band any more. There are maybe a couple moments of promise but they don't quite get there for me.
Solid stoner rock. "How to Handle a Rope" slaps in particular.
I dig the rougher sound on this one. Lots of great songs - Heart-Shaped Box and All Apologies are my favorite. Fun listen.
Somewhat charming - feels very 80s and even though I wasn't alive for much of the 80s, it is a little nostalgic. I don't like the farty bass tone that appears on some of the songs. It's funny that they come right out the gate with "The Boy in the Bubble" with the bass at its fartiest. Sounds like something from a cartoon. I don't think I'm likely to revisit this one, but it's not terrible.
Super chill. Like early Thievery Corporation, but way more French. I dig it.

Not sure it's something I'd listen to regularly, but I thoroughly enjoyed this album. She had a great voice and the music was solid.
I kind of wanted to like this, but it mostly just does nothing for me. For some reason, "The Lyre of Orpheus" (the song) is particularly grating to me. "Breathless" is pretty fun though. I feel like being boring is almost worse than being actively bad. Having a harder time with this than with Nixon by Lambchop, though probably mostly because this is a double album so it's a lot more to get through.
