Rubber Soul
Beatlesone of the best albums of all time
one of the best albums of all time
Shout, Everybody Wants to Rule the World, and Head Over Heels are all quintessentially 80s. Unfortunately I don't think they're all-time good enough, and the rest of the album is pretty meh. So this doesn't crack above a 3.
Best solo Beatles album
Not the best Fatboy Slim album but still a good listen
Look I get that it's a renowned album for what it does. I just don't care for Jazz. Too many notes.
Great music to wind down. Very soothing. Also fun fact: it's the group that Lindsay Lohan's parents go to see when she throws the house party in the movie Mean Girls!
Weird in a good way? Sounds ahead of its time for the era it was released
4, but only because it has literally the three best Oasis songs all on this album. Many of the other tracks miss for me and sound like generic 90s stuff.
as far as jazz goes, pretty good
I really liked it.
it's fine
For being 36 years old it really holds up to modern times. "Fuck the Police" is as relevant as ever.
makes me want to watch the movie. great concept album by itself
It's really good, but I'm pretty sure that album is intended to only be listened to in the bedroom.
Starts strong and finishes strong
Pretty forgettable with the exception of "Smack my Bitch Up"
I've heard some of these samples in more modern music, so it's really great foundational stuff. And the band lives up their name.
Fun art and some fun songs. Just doesn't have the replay value
It's fine, but it's not for me.
When I think of Slipknot I mostly think of songs that sound like Psychosocial, so I was impressed and surprised by stuff like Sulfur and Snuff. Also the drums on this album is awesome.
Loved it -- way different sound than I expected having only heard "The Weight" from them previously. I really liked "Up on Cripple Creek"
one of the best albums of all time
I loved this album. A raw Boss distilled down to story telling. I loved the theme across the album. Atlantic City, Johnny 99, Mansion on the Hill, and State Trooper are all standouts on this album for me. Why wasn't he doing more of this stuff all along?
All tracks sound the same. It's fine enough, but nothing really pops.
I've always hated skits in rap albums, and these really bring it down. The tracks themselves are very good. Too bad Kanye is also a massive POS.
Starts strong then becomes too samey
I don't get it.
This is why I'm here
Really enjoyed "revolution", "suicide" and "Lord Can you Hear Me" -- the rest is kind of just... noise?
Rio and Hungry like the wolf are classics, rest is nice background work music.
Love Willie Nelson, love his cover of Georgia on my mind, but the rest is kind of middlin'
Poor man's bob dylan
"Sledgehammer" and "In your eyes" are all timers. I was pleasantly surprised to see Kate Bush make an appearance in "Don't Give Up" but the rest of this was not for me.
Not good
Loved it. Kind of reminds me of Fountains of Wayne
It's kind of a cosmic gumbo
Whose world is it? Nas' apparently
My apologies to the Bee Gees, I wasn't familiar with their game
Can they kick it? Yes. They can.
Fine enough. But not Buddy Holly's best.
Shout, Everybody Wants to Rule the World, and Head Over Heels are all quintessentially 80s. Unfortunately I don't think they're all-time good enough, and the rest of the album is pretty meh. So this doesn't crack above a 3.
Never heard this album before, but assumed most Marilyn Manson stuff was just garbage. It's not _great_, but honestly it was a lot better than I thought it would be. 3/5
It's fine, sort of catchy as you listen through but then pretty forgettable. Greenman is a banger.
So good
Maybe it's because I was listening to this at 4AM but this is horrible. The weird train whistle and breaking plate sound effects are like someone discovered the shitty sound effects mode on their keyboard. And it went on for 8+ minutes!! And that's only the first real track. The rest of the tracks are similarly long, use unnecessary sound effects and are way too repetitive. How this made the list is beyond me. This might be music I'd choose to torture someone.
This list is called 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die. Silly me for thinking it meant that these were things you had to listen to because they were supposed to be good. This is one you must hear because it's SO colossally bad. Or maybe it's like fashion shows -- not meant for most audiences, kind of weird, and is meant to move the industry forward. Either way, woof.
This album was just what I needed.
3 only because of how good All I Wanna Do and String Enough are.
