Harvest

Neil Young · 1 likes

1/5

"Maid" is one of the unintentionally funniest songs I've ever heard. The lyrics are about this old fuck wanting a maid to do his chores becuae he can't be arsed to do them himself or whatever but the music itself is this weirdly epic orchestral performance??? Wtf man. The rest is unremarkable country slop.

Devotional Songs

Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan

2/5

Not my cup of tea. Songs sound very same-y

Rust Never Sleeps

Neil Young & Crazy Horse

3/5

Singer's voice sounds like Placebo. Lots of acoustic guitar, not a fan. Powderfinger kinda slaps. Second half of the album is actually rock songs, so much better than the first.

Sheer Heart Attack

Queen

4/5

Tracy Chapman

2/5

Lyrics are deep and depressive af. Good messages but the music is so fucking depressing I never want to listen to the album ever again.

I Never Loved a Man the Way I Love You

Aretha Franklin

2/5

So that's where thatr Respect song comes from. Otherwise pretty unremarkable. Not my type of music.

Bringing It All Back Home

Bob Dylan

1/5

It sure is county music.

Fleet Foxes

2/5

Not feeling it Mr Krabs.

Get Behind Me Satan

The White Stripes

2/5

Figured they would have more bangers considering how popular 7 nation army is...

Maverick A Strike

Finley Quaye

2/5

Guess it's a reggae album...

The Specials

1/5

Only listened to half of it. Don't see it becoming much more interesting.

Blunderbuss

Jack White

2/5

Some songs were okay I guess...

Harvest

Neil Young

Blood Sugar Sex Magik

Red Hot Chili Peppers

Finally, some good fucking food.

My Generation

The Who

Brothers In Arms

Dire Straits

3/5

Let It Bleed

The Rolling Stones

1/5

Why do so many "classic rock" bands have so many goddamn country songs...

The Who Sell Out

The Who

1/5

No more the who please...

Fisherman's Blues

The Waterboys

2/5

Fiddly diddly music. Cool if you are a hobbit in a tavern. But nothing I'd listen to on a daily.

What's That Noise?

Coldcut

5/5

Absolute banger. Marvel VS Capcom 2 ass music (affectionately)

Oracular Spectacular

MGMT

4/5

Some bops on here. Really love the song 'kids'.

Van Halen

3/5

Damn that's actually some classic af rock.

Suicide

1/5

Jesus. Christ. No.

Rattlesnakes

Lloyd Cole And The Commotions

3/5

Very easy listening. Though also nothing I'd really listen to again...

Superunknown

Soundgarden

3/5

I always knew the name of this band, but never heard any of their songs. So I was surprised to find out they make ACDC style dad rock? Kind of unexpected tbh, thought they'd make electronic music or something. Well the album itself was pretty alright.

Licensed To Ill

Beastie Boys

4/5

Funky beats. Some Nu-metal esque songs. Lyrics that aged like fine milk. Good stuff

Metallica

4/5

Saved Enter sandman and Through the never. The rest of the album sounds very same-y sadly. But at least it's a good kind of same-y so the album is actually fun to listen through!

Yeezus

Kanye West

2/5

I don't know if I want to listen to famous nazi Kanye West's music. But if I must... Honestly, the album was pretty good. While I don't understand why rappers always have to focus on how much sex and money they have, the music itself was pretty solid. Lots of variety in the genres etc. I still have to dock a lot of points just for the guy being actually an anti-semite with a good complex...

Sex Packets

Digital Underground

3/5

The concept part of the ablum is really interesting and the chorus of the song sex packets is super catchy. I just didn't really vibe with the rest of the ablum.

Rhythm Nation 1814

Janet Jackson

3/5

This really felt like a good album that overstayed it's welcome. I like the 80s pop sound. It just gets old after a while.

Seventeen Seconds

The Cure

3/5

I'm not sure what to say about this album. It's very slow and sad sounding, but it doesn't really feel like a drag. It's good but I probably won't listen to it again.

Yankee Hotel Foxtrot

Wilco

2/5

The biggest lesson I'm learning from this project is that I seem to really dislike the sound of acoustic guitars.

More Songs About Buildings And Food

Talking Heads

1/5

One of the bands I had never even heard about before. And I am kind of glad about it. This attempt at goofy/funky music really landed flat on its face. None of the songs stand out and they sound really repetitive.

G. Love And Special Sauce

G. Love & Special Sauce

1/5

Snooze

Talvin Singh

5/5

Damn this album hit me hard out of nowhere. The combination of traditional Indian and Japanese instruments with 90s drum and bass is so unique and cool. If an album deserved the title "this is an album you should listen to before you die" this would be my top pick so far. Absolutely incredible. The song OK is such a banger.

Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)

Wu-Tang Clan

2/5

I realize how important this album is to the history of hip-hop and rap... Still doesn't make me want to listen to it though. The concept of them being like a Chinese martial arts monk order is pretty cute at first, it all still just boils down to the usual rap-isms of flexing how much cooler and stronger you are than your "opponents". Eh.

Dire Straits

3/5

For a band called dire straits I did not expect half the songs to be swingy-rock-jazz. Neat.

Groovin'

The Young Rascals

2/5

"We have the Beatles at home."

Pictures At An Exhibition

Emerson, Lake & Palmer

4/5

This sounds like Jenova's boss themes from Final Fantasy 7 on crack. Absolutely fantastic listen. Too bad it's only a live album though.

Bone Machine

Tom Waits

1/5

Guy in his basement clanking pots and pans together and calls it music. lmao

Vol. 4

Black Sabbath

3/5

Fun album to listen to. Very good vibes.

...And Justice For All

Metallica

3/5

Doesn't have the stand-out songs that the black album does. Sadly this leads to the same-y-ness to shine through even more. But still good fucking metal at it's core.

Tubular Bells

Mike Oldfield

2/5

Hey it's that one song from SpongeBob! ...God I'm so cooked.

Cross

Justice

5/5

With an album cover like this I really did not expect an entire album of dance bangers. Holy shit.

Bitte Orca

Dirty Projectors

2/5

Bitte nicht Orca. Why do I have an earworm of the song Remade Horizon...

MTV Unplugged In New York

Nirvana

1/5

Oh god please not the 2 worst things imaginable: Live and Unplugged. Urgh The man who sold the World is always great though.

Elephant

The White Stripes

3/5

Yo it's Seven Nation Army!....aaand a whole bunch of other unremarkable songs.

Throwing Muses

1/5

Did not finish the second Disc...The singer has a really grating singing voice and the instrumentation is very bland.

Os Mutantes

2/5

Live At The Regal

B.B. King

2/5

More live music hurray... The blues is alright I guess. Just not something I'd listen to while I'm not in a dimly lit smoke filled bar with a glass of whiskey or whatever.

Birth Of The Cool

Miles Davis

2/5

Forgettable jazz

Heavy Weather

Weather Report

2/5

Dreadful.

Shake Your Money Maker

The Black Crowes

2/5

The Hissing Of Summer Lawns

Joni Mitchell

2/5

Lost In The Dream

The War On Drugs

1/5

Insanely boring

Off The Wall

Michael Jackson

5/5

Holy shit it's Michael! Considering how famous the guy was I am surprised I never sat down and listened to any of his albums in full. This one was such a joy though. Disco vibes best vibes.

Will The Circle Be Unbroken

Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

1/5

This is the type of shit people mean when they say they listen to everything but country music.

The Stooges

2/5

Why is there a 10 minute song of droning noise in the middle of the rock album?

Madman Across The Water

Elton John

3/5

Solid album but nothing really stood out to me sadly.

Sound of Silver
