Rufus Wainwright · 1 likes
1/5
Fuck this was a drain to listen to. Normally I don't give a 1 out but this deserves it.
1-Star Albums (3)
All Ratings
Beck
4/5
Very enjoyable, strong start with E-Pro.
Nirvana
5/5
Easy 5 star
Simon & Garfunkel
3/5
Surprisingly good, likely something I won't listen to again. Maybe pick out certain songs.
Radiohead
4/5
Difficult to rate, when this album came out I listened a lot to it. Not sure it has aged as well as some of there other Radiohead albums. I'm sure OK Computer is on this list and I would give that a 5 for sure. Will give this a 4 (partly for nostalgic sense). Jigsaw Falling Into Place favourite from the album.
Sly & The Family Stone
4/5
Very much enjoyed, a solid 4 star compared to some of the weaker 4 stars so far. Would listen again and enjoyed most of the songs on the album. Particular shout out to the near 14 minute long Sex Machine.
Guns N' Roses
5/5
Using the Bryn method of scoring this has to get a 5. An album that I would listen over an over again. No filler in my view, outside the most famous songs I quite enjoy Rocket Queen and Think About You.
Meat Loaf
3/5
First time I have actually listened to this album all the way through. Outside of Bat Out of Hell, nothing too exciting from my perspective. It was fine and enjoyable at times, I probably wouldn't go through the whole album again.
Bob Dylan
2/5
There are some good songs in here, but the covers are better. The Bob Dylan voice isn't for me. 2 star on the basis that there are some ok songs in here.
Fugazi
3/5
Enjoyed but not to shout about. I do like some post-hardcore (at the drive-in being my favourite) but this was very average for me.
Talking Heads
4/5
Haven't listened to a whole Talking Heads album before. Very enjoyable, the big hit with Once in a Lifetime. Overall a solid album and I would listen again.
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
2/5
The lyrics are pretentious trash. Instrumentally I don't mind it. Not sure how to rate this one, if it was just the instrumental aspects I would happily listen to it in the background. However the problem is once he opens his mouth. Subject to editing I will put this as a 2 star .
Aerosmith
4/5
Found this another tricky one to rate. Ultimately I have gone for a 4 star. Some crackers on here, particular favourites being Janie's Got a Gun, The Other Side and What It Takes. There is some filler in my view. Great combination of Aerosmith's early blues with the more hard rock and glam rock. I was in between 3 and 4 star possibly because I prefer their more bluesy early stuff from their self titled album, Get Your Wings and Toys in the Attic. I suspect they will be somewhere in this list.
Fiona Apple
2/5
Bit meh. I didn't find it offensive, but not something I would actively listen to.
Hookworms
3/5
Gone for a 3, may drop to a 2 on reflection but this was better than others that I have voted a 2. No bangers, but solid throughout.
Crowded House
2/5
Nothing really offensive, just not really for me. At times the songs phased into one. The most dramatic thing was the scream mid-way through the last song.
Public Enemy
4/5
Very much an enjoyable listen. Have listened to this album a few times before as well and I don't get bored by it.
Beatles
3/5
It is fine. Some well known songs but not something I would listen to in full. In terms of the Beatles, prefer some of the later albums.
Coldcut
3/5
At times a wall of noise but there was a lot of variety and surprises in there. Some I like, some I didn't. Can't remember the name of any songs but a solid 3 from me.
Sonic Youth
2/5
Don't know what to make of this album. I did listen again and it grew on me a little and maybe it will further listens. For now a 2 star.
The xx
3/5
Actually listened to this album a fair few times when it came out. It is an enjoyable listen and there are highlights with Intro, Crystallised and Night Time. There is a bit of filler and not quite 4-star worthy. Solid 3-star.
UB40
4/5
Pleasantly surprised by the album. My reference of UB40 is pretty much Red Red Wine so didn't have expectations. However enjoyed it with the highlight being Food for Thought. Will go 4 stars now subject to a possible downgrade.
The Slits
1/5
Largely a random array of sounds and wailing. Butchered I Heard It Through The Grapevine as well.
Janelle Monáe
4/5
I really enjoyed this, not an artist I have listened to before. Good mix of genres and felt the album flowed well together. Faster and Tightrope were my favourites. The only negative from me is that I felt towards the end the album started to tail off. However, going for 4 stars.
U2
2/5
Just generally boring. Nothing offensive there and you can leave it on the background. Spotify kept playing and I had no idea it started another U2 album.
Stan Getz
4/5
Great album, after U2 we needed improvement. Have heard a bunch of these before and really enjoyed listening to the whole album.
Run-D.M.C.
3/5
A difficult one to rate for sure. The album and Run DMC have significant influence into how modern Hip Hop and Rap has been shaped (along with the creation of rap rock), however the album itself doesn't have many highlights and a simple beat in each song. Rock Box is the standout for sure, the influence in creating and inspiring Rap Rock is of course important, however it is also just a really good song. I will go for 3 stars on balance.
Elton John
4/5
Best way to start off an album, an 11 minute mostly instrumental song. Very much enjoyed the album. A very strong start in terms of the first 4 songs, did tail off a bit and therefore a 4 star.
Arcade Fire
4/5
Have listened to this album many times before, enjoyed it then and still enjoy it now. In the first instance you would think it is some wanky french-canadians wailing pretentious indie which to an extent it is, however the album is solid and there are some big highlights with Ocean of Noise and in particular My Body Is A Cage.
The Stooges
4/5
This is filthy rock, but I like it. Overall I prefer the self titled debut and Funhouse as complete albums. There are some great songs on this album with Raw Power and Gimmie Danger being two of them. Search and Destroy is just epic.
The Gun Club
2/5
Nothing too offensive about the album, just a bit bored and not something I would listen to again. It felt long for a 40 minute album.
Radiohead
3/5
Not the best Radiohead album, however reasonably solid throughout. A few highlights in the album.
The Dandy Warhols
2/5
Nothing offensive. Don't understand why this is on the list, very average.
Grizzly Bear
3/5
It is ok, happy to have it on the background. Two Weeks, one of those songs you hear on adverts and TV shows and you only find out who it is by from this.
Creedence Clearwater Revival
4/5
Very enjoyable listen. Good Golly Miss Molly and Proud Mary being highlights for me. Nearly a 5-star, there were a few songs that were just ok from my side.
The Who
4/5
Looks like a solid run of albums and this was very much a good one. I would however say first two songs and last two songs crackers, middle five a bit more on the average side. I think the maths still come out to a four overall.
Blur
3/5
Overall as an album it is ok. Clearly some big songs in terms of Parklife and Girls & Boys and some other highlights in there as well. But there is some filler. It is a good album and good for the background.
The Rolling Stones
5/5
I think this is a fantastic album. I have listened this is a number of times before. On the bluesy side for the Rolling Stones, but there are some cracking songs here and don't think there is much filler.
Gorillaz
4/5
Have always been a fan and this is a solid album. The hits/singles are big ones in my view. A little bit of filler, however overall a good flow to the album, a lot of variety and an enjoyable listen.
fIREHOSE
2/5
Rather boring. The funky bassline on some songs save it a little bit.
John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers
4/5
Up my street. Listened to this album a while back, bluesy and soulfully. A very enjoyable listen.
Nirvana
3/5
It is a good live album and I do like the additional covers in terms of The Man Who Sold The World and Where Did You Sleep Last Night. However, going unplugged/acoustic lessens what makes Nirvana good so I think I can only go to a 3 star.
Björk
3/5
A difficult one to rate. The random wailing can get a bit annoying. However some the underlying music is strong and there are some songs I enjoyed there. Provisionally 3 subject to some a downgrade. I think there is plenty more Bjork and who knows, I might become a fan.
Todd Rundgren
3/5
Mixed. It is too long for my liking. There is a lot in here I like. Problem is that you have a few songs that bluesy and very enjoyable, then a couple of not so good songs that are pop orientated. Just about a 3 star for me.
The Chemical Brothers
2/5
Not really my genre. I can appreciate what is being done here and some elements I enjoyed, but ultimately will not revisit.
The Kinks
3/5
An enjoyable listen, some hits/singles I would listen to again. However overall it was good background rather than something I would revisit as a whole album.
Crosby, Stills & Nash
2/5
Doesn't do much for me. Nothing offensive in there.
Starts off ok, then just dips and boring. Again, I don't hate it, just good background music and inoffensive.
Queen
5/5
Haven't listened through the whole album before, it was simply great. A range of genres and not really any filler. Outside of Bohemian Rhapsody, The Prophet Song and Love of My Life as favourites from the album.
Van Morrison
4/5
Never listened to Van Morrison before outside the bigger hits. I enjoyed the album. A bit of soul, some jazz elements, some stuff more rocky - a good mix. There were no big tracks I would say, but the album flowed well.
Muddy Waters
5/5
Haven't listened to a Muddy Waters album in full, but very much enjoyed this. I am a blues fan so this album was great for me. First song was probably the favourite. I also really liked Walking Through the Park however noticed that I played the reissued version and it had an extra song.
Van Morrison
3/5
There is a lot to like here, however it is too long and you willing the album to finish. Started much better than it ended. Currently a 3 star but I might reassess.
Funkadelic
4/5
Funky. The first song is by far the standout, however overall an album I enjoyed with a bit of variety.
Deee-Lite
2/5
One good song the rest a bit meh.
Pavement
2/5
Didn't hate it. Didn't do anything for me.
Nick Drake
3/5
A new one for me. Pleasantly surprised and on the better end for the more folksy music. In between a 3 and a 4 for me, might be a little harsh and go for a 3.
Gang Of Four
2/5
First half of this I was getting into and enjoying the album, but I think it starting getting annoying and maybe something about the voice started draining me.
Rush
5/5
There might be some bias as I do really like Rush, however this album is a triumph. Of course the 20 minute epic at the start is truly amazing but the remainder of the album stacks up well. Have listened to this album a number of times and will listen through many times more.
Can
4/5
Light, breezy and a good listen. Certainly interesting, mix of genres in places.
DJ Shadow
4/5
Have listened to this a number of times before. Very much enjoy it. There is a little bit of filler in the album/a tad long. Nonetheless, a solid album.
Neneh Cherry
2/5
Doesn't age well for sure. Didn't hate it, but didn't do too much for me outside the odd song like Heart.
Gil Scott-Heron
3/5
I enjoyed this, jazzy, bluesy and a bit of soul. A relaxing listen. But nothing exceptional to push it to one of the higher ratings.
Jefferson Airplane
3/5
Some good, some boring. The two big hits are great along with some of the bluesy tracks towards the end. The rest was not too exciting.
Richard Thompson
2/5
Nothing too offensive, just found it rather dull.
10cc
3/5
Not sure how to really rate this, mix of genres and the album is all over the place, but it is also fun and enjoyable in parts. Overall, I would say I enjoyed the chaos.
The Residents
1/5
I find little value in this album.
Eminem
3/5
There is some good stuff in here, some of the well known hits are very enjoyable. However there is a lot in this album that doesn't age well (most notably the lyrics). Rap music has progressed from this. None the less, the nostalgia element of some of the songs retains a 3 star.
Echo And The Bunnymen
4/5
I wasn't sure what to expect. The only song I knew was The Killing Moon which is fantastic. The album as a whole I really enjoyed. Has some vibes of The Cure (I guess the same era).
50 Cent
3/5
Somewhat similar in my assessment for Eminem. There is a lot to enjoy in this album and quite a few 'bangers'. Lyrical themes more closely aligned to the gangsta rap genre so although there are some choice lyrics, maybe a bit less than Eminem. Solid 3 star.
The Verve
3/5
Mixed from my perspective. There are some songs in here that I really like but there is a bunch of boring filler. A hybrid of other Britpop bands and you can see the influence/range of songs. Just scrapes a 3 from me.
Einstürzende Neubauten
2/5
I wasn't disgusted by it. However it is a really hard listen.
Simply Red
2/5
Don't really understand why this would be considered on this list. Rather boring and each song blended into each other.
The Beach Boys
3/5
I enjoyed it. Different from what I expected from a Beach Boys album. Good, but not enough to push it higher.
Run-D.M.C.
4/5
Very good. Some big hits and solid rap rock credentials with the title song Raising Hell.
5/5
Banger after banger. I like Britpop and Oasis so maybe there is bias, I however enjoyed the album as a whole and there weren't many tracks that were filler.
Marvin Gaye
4/5
Very easy listening, didn't feel like it was over an hour long.
Muddy Waters
5/5
As with the other Muddy Waters album, very enjoyable and this one even bluesier. I quite liked it as a live album. A couple of good easier listening albums recently, looks like the trend is changing.
Cypress Hill
5/5
Funky hip hop. A delight of an album. Big hits and no filler.
Skepta
4/5
Solid all round.
Slayer
5/5
Just the album that I needed to get through reviewing some reports this afternoon.
The War On Drugs
3/5
I liked it. There were some Americana Bruce Springsteen vibes that I really liked towards the end of the album. However some of did blend in a bit so conservatively going for a 3 star, could be upgraded to 4 at a later date.
Adele
3/5
It's good. There are some big hits in there but also some filler. Good background music.
Roxy Music
3/5
It was fine, nothing in there got me excited but neither was I offended.
Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
4/5
This was great, the addition of Young adds massively. Some great songs in terms of Helpless and Deja Vu. Overall solid.
Public Image Ltd.
2/5
Struggled with this one. Haven't gone for a one as there were some ok elements to it, but clutching at straws.
The White Stripes
4/5
Solid album throughout. I would listen again and enjoy.
The Fall
2/5
Kind of start out ok with the first song and I thought that maybe I could feel differently about British post-punk. That quickly faded.
Cyndi Lauper
4/5
I'm just girl wanting to have fun. Surprisingly enjoying with plenty of big hits.
Van Morrison
2/5
Maybe I have had enough of Van Morrison. Didn't do too much for me but wasn't completely offended.
Bob Dylan
3/5
Still find the voice incredibly annoying, but this was solid outside of that.
Keith Jarrett
3/5
I enjoyed this. Relaxing music while reviewing a report. Solid 3, possibly after reflection it may be upgraded.
Emerson, Lake & Palmer
4/5
I am very partial to 20 minute prog rock songs
Steely Dan
3/5
There were some highlight (Pretzel Logic as the title song), however the rest was rather average from my perspective.
The Flaming Lips
3/5
Generally enjoyed this. Some songs stronger than others and I liked the mix of genres in certain places.
ZZ Top
4/5
Wonderful bit of music. Just a bit of good listening.
The Beach Boys
3/5
It was fine, some big hits but didn't get me too excited.
Tracy Chapman
4/5
Never heard of Tracy Chapman, but I feel like I have heard some of these songs before. Anyway, I really enjoyed this.
The Smashing Pumpkins
5/5
Strong throughout. Really enjoyed this.
Jacques Brel
2/5
Too French for my liking
Magazine
4/5
We have had some dreadful British post-punk lately. However I quite enjoyed this album.
Duke Ellington
3/5
It is a good, I like a bit of jazz. However, I struggled towards the end. 2 hours of jazz is too much jazz.
Frank Ocean
3/5
Finding this difficult to rate. There were songs I enjoyed in here and enjoyed the mix of R&B and soul elements. However there was also some pretentious rubbish in here. Tentative rating at 3.
Japan
3/5
It was ok. Enjoyed the first song and in particular the last song.
3/5
It was ok, no big hits on here. Park Life is better for sure. However a solid 3 (maybe I need to update Park Life on reflection).
Leonard Cohen
4/5
When I saw this pop up I though "this will probably be rubbish". Turns out I quite liked this.
Dion
2/5
I really contemplated rating this a 1. It wasn't offensive, just offered very little value.
Led Zeppelin
5/5
The first half is strong than the second, however overall a great listen. Some really good range within the album. The big hit of course Kashmir, but personnel favourite Trampled Under Foot and In My Time of Dying.
2/5
I struggled a bit with this one. Initially it was interesting but found it a drag.
4/5
Enjoying the funky tunes. Quite a good album.
Nas
4/5
Strong album with some good jazz vibes along with the rap. Enjoyed.
Cat Stevens
4/5
Many songs I have heard before but never knew it was Cat Stevens. A good listen
James Brown
3/5
Solid album, nothing spectacular.
OutKast
5/5
In my view one of the best hip-rap/rap artists around. This album is solid throughout and has a lot of range/influences (a lot of funk influences). Have listened before and will listen again.
King Crimson
3/5
Strong start and solid album.
Common
3/5
enjoyed it, but dragged a bit.
Sigur Rós
4/5
One of the most relaxing commutes I have had in a while.
Syd Barrett
2/5
Quite boring. I struggled a bit to get through this but wasn't so offensive to get a 1.
Burning Spear
4/5
A bit of relief after Syd Barrett. Maybe I am voting this higher as it was more uplifting, nevertheless I enjoyed the album.
The Smashing Pumpkins
4/5
Ok, it was 2 hours long but I really enjoyed it. I wasn't bored with the mix of genres.
Silver Jews
2/5
Pretty bored. Didn't do too much for me outside the keyboard/piano on the 2rd/3rd song.
Johnny Cash
4/5
Very enjoyable. The highlight of course Hurt, but the album throughout is solid.
Neu!
4/5
A relaxing listen. Definitely helped me focus on a Monday morning/drown out the office chatter.
Songhoy Blues
4/5
Really enjoyed the bluesy guitar driven music on this. Currently a strong 4, might upgrade upon future listens.
Jazmine Sullivan
2/5
Didn't do anything for me really. I wasn't offended, however there was nothing exciting in this and I don't understand out of all the very good music there has been recently that this would be on the list. Within the same genre there have been many very good albums that should be on the list ahead of this.
Fairport Convention
2/5
Rather dull/not for me.
Johnny Cash
4/5
Guess I like Johnny Cash. Enjoyed the comedic interludes as well.
Guided By Voices
2/5
Didn't enjoy the 28 songs in 40 odd minutes. What was there was ok, just didn't work as an album for me.
Beastie Boys
4/5
Solid album throughout with some big hits in Sabotage and Sure Shot. Really liked Futterman's Rule.
The Roots
4/5
Nice mix of styles and good variety on her. An enjoyable listen and just about squeezes a 4 rating.
Willie Nelson
2/5
Nothing that really excited me here. It was ok and fine for some in the background.
Jorge Ben Jor
4/5
An enjoyable album, a pleasant surprise.
Kings of Leon
2/5
Meh - didn't have any of the big hits that I know
Patti Smith
4/5
Really enjoyed this. Heard a few of the songs before and the album works well together.
Eels
3/5
It was ok, there were a few good songs in there but the rest was a bit on the boring side.
Tom Waits
3/5
Wasn't sure at the start with the intro discussions to each song. But this did grow on me over the album and raspy voice and jazzy tunes work for me.
Various Artists
2/5
Probably not best to listen to this just after Christmas. Nothing revolutionary here.
Pixies
3/5
It was alright. Quite a few songs I liked, some filler in my view and a bit too much noise rock in a few songs. However overall a very strong 3.
Underworld
3/5
Electric. If I was very drunk and in a club this would be highly rated for sure. It was ok and just about creeps a 3.
Tim Buckley
2/5
A bit crap. Not quite rubbish enough for a 1 as I wasn't offended by it.
Rage Against The Machine
5/5
Great commute album
LCD Soundsystem
3/5
It was ok, a few songs I quite liked but the rest was nothing spectacular
Belle & Sebastian
3/5
Very chilled music and it was ok. Again nothing amazing here.
Curtis Mayfield
4/5
None of the songs I have heard before. Strong album however.
Dolly Parton
3/5
Short and sweet. I enjoyed but not enough to go beyond a 3.
Genesis
3/5
It was ok. Real promise with the first song, then a bit inconsistent.
The Who
3/5
It was good, maybe expected more and really there was only 1 big hit.
MGMT
5/5
Rating is reflecting nostalgia. The first half is banging, drops off a little bit. Still going for a 5.
The United States Of America
2/5
Nah. I wasn't offended, this however didn't do much for me.
The National
2/5
I was bored.
Rufus Wainwright
1/5
Fuck this was a drain to listen to. Normally I don't give a 1 out but this deserves it.
David Bowie
3/5
Heroes as the title song did drag this album into an ok score. There were some highlights but a lot was very average.
Soft Machine
3/5
Starting weird and I was thinking this could be a long listen, however really enjoyed it. Close to 4.
CHIC
4/5
Very good. Highlights with Le Freak and I Want Your Love.
Sam Cooke
4/5
Very much enjoyed. Solid throughout.
New Order
4/5
A good run of music. Although I didn't know any of the songs on this album, it was a pleasant surprise.
Beastie Boys
4/5
Did not disappoint
Throbbing Gristle
2/5
It wasn't awful, but not something I would ever listen to again and at times a bit of a drag to get through.
Parliament
4/5
Some very solid funk.
Sheryl Crow
2/5
Pretty boring and a drag to get through.
Charles Mingus
3/5
It was ok. Generally enjoyed it and good background while working.
Eagles
3/5
Good start but the rest was just ok/middle of the road music.
Big Star
2/5
Middle of the road rock - bland
Public Enemy
4/5
Solid 90s hip hop. Bring the noise is the highlight.
Sufjan Stevens
3/5
Long album, was unsure about this one but grew on me towards the end.
Led Zeppelin
5/5
Song after song of excellence.
T. Rex
3/5
It was alright. The voice started annoying me towards the end however.
Jerry Lee Lewis
4/5
Very short but full of energy.
Al Green
4/5
Such a smooth and soulful album
John Martyn
3/5
His voice sounded like he had a big muff over his mouth. Not bad however, enjoyed the album.
The Velvet Underground
3/5
It was ok. Pale Blue Eyes as the highlight that helped it drag into a 3.
Dead Kennedys
4/5
An enjoyable album for sure and good to expand the Dead Kennedys knowledge. Would listen again.
De La Soul
4/5
A solid album throughout with quite a few big hits. Enjoyable.
The Youngbloods
3/5
Bunch of songs I really enjoyed but some filler as well.
Frankie Goes To Hollywood
4/5
Very enjoyable and many songs I recognised. Just solid throughout.
Dusty Springfield
3/5
This was good and songs I knew. Was quite close to a 4.
Black Sabbath
5/5
What an album. Highlights being Snowblind and Wheels of Confusion. But this is solid throughout. Easy 5 for me.
Björk
2/5
This was a tough listen. I think kind of liked the other Bjork album, this was not as good. Was tempted for a 1 but I wasn't truly offended by the album.
Meat Puppets
3/5
Middle of the road music. There were some songs I liked but nothing extraordinary here.
The Allman Brothers Band
4/5
I enjoyed this one. It was a long one however and tailed off a bit towards the end, however I did enjoy it so will give it a 4.
Stan Getz
4/5
Some solid jazzy tones
Nightmares On Wax
3/5
It was alright. Was getting a tad bored towards the end but it worked well as good background music while working.
Paul Simon
3/5
Middle of the road music. 1 or 2 enjoyable songs.
Bruce Springsteen
3/5
I like Bruce Springsteen, but this album isn't the best. There are some really good songs in this, but the rest is a bit average/can be a bore. Possibly being generous with my rating.
Madonna
2/5
The headline song is great, everything else is not so much.
Death In Vegas
3/5
I enjoyed it, good background music while pricing transfers.
Eagles
3/5
Great start, very average afterwards.
Goldfrapp
4/5
Enjoyed the listen, recognised the big hits on the album. Calming and brings back memories.
Tom Waits
3/5
Never know if I really like Tom Waits or find him really annoying. Mixed between both listening to this.
Creedence Clearwater Revival
4/5
A solid album throughout. I think with the last CCR album I said something similar, so close to a 5 but for the moment it is a high 4. Maybe I revisit and change it in the future.
The Magnetic Fields
2/5
Had to do this in 3 sittings. Even if you compressed the better songs into a single album this would have still been poor. I guess this is more a novelty album. Wasn't awful to give it a 1, but the lowest of 2's.
Klaxons
4/5
Maybe slightly generous, but there is the nostalgia factor and there are quite a few bangers in here.
Blur
3/5
Some big songs at the start - overall a strong 3.
Neil Young
3/5
I like Neil Young, but this album is not his best. There are some good songs in here however.
Tori Amos
3/5
I enjoyed it. Not really my genre but it was a good listen throughout but nothing exceptional to push it up to a 4.
Kanye West
5/5
Of course he has turned into an abhorrent individual who suffer severe mental illness. Taking the pure artistic nature of the album, this is fantastic.
