The Marshall Mathers LP

Eminem · 1 likes

2/5

Probs my least favourite so far. Can’t say I like anything Eminem himself brings to this. Skits on an album is always cringe and bad. Thank god dr. Dre and D12 were available to save this album.

Sail Away

Randy Newman · 1 likes

2/5

Man what the hell was this

1-Star Albums (7)

All Ratings

Ten

Pearl Jam

5/5

I like it a lot. The big 3 on it are the best imo. But amazing sounding album.

Synchronicity

The Police

4/5

Really do think the hit is thé worst song on this (as usual), mother is an insane cut, O my god is my fav I think tho.

Blunderbuss

Jack White

5/5

I had to listen to this again to remind me what songs were on it. Much more consistently good than lazaretto. I really like this one. Some potential skips in the middle but the start is fantastic. Giga album.

The Marshall Mathers LP

Eminem

2/5

Probs my least favourite so far. Can’t say I like anything Eminem himself brings to this. Skits on an album is always cringe and bad. Thank god dr. Dre and D12 were available to save this album.

Home Is Where The Music Is

Hugh Masekela

3/5

This album is pretty neat but it really faded into the background for me.

Cosmo's Factory

Creedence Clearwater Revival

5/5

Fuckinb goated album with a great cover in there too.

Ready To Die

The Notorious B.I.G.

4/5

It’s so good. Irresistible flow, excellent samples. Again, skits suck like they always do but it is what it is. Biggie’s a legend he can do what he wants.

Solid Air

John Martyn

3/5

I listened to it. It was fine I guess

Idlewild

Everything But The Girl

2/5

I think I recognise the first song but this was all in one ear out the other.

Dirt

Alice In Chains

2/5

Them bones and would are great. The rest is very meh. This vocal style sucks. Angry chair especially is just shit.

We're Only In It For The Money

The Mothers Of Invention

1/5

Genuinely unlistenable dogshit. I have nothing positive to say about this. How is it categorised with prog rock and art rock. Lmfao

The Seldom Seen Kid

Elbow

3/5

It’s okay. Nothing as good as the two songs I know by them.

Parachutes

Coldplay

4/5

Honestly excellent. Idk why they made this and proceeded to make evil music for around 15 years.

Bridge Over Troubled Water

Simon & Garfunkel

5/5

This is the best so far by a mile. Almost all hits and no misses. Opening 4 song run is godly. The boxer, Boy in New York and song for the asking too, I just love this album.

Rain Dogs

Tom Waits

2/5

Pretty terrible and long.

Imperial Bedroom

Elvis Costello & The Attractions

3/5

It’s fine I guess

Debut

Björk

4/5

Great album. Saying otherwise would be blue cap emoji.

Metallica

3/5

I’d call this 2.5 rounded to 3. What saves this is more than 2 songs being standouts on the album. Enter sandman alone is one of the better Melodies in rock music. But I stand by the solos not really moving and sounding robotic. And there’s a lot of them and it’s clearly a focus. I just don’t dig it. No shuffle in the groove or 2 bar riffs at all don’t help. Thanks Lars.

Life Thru A Lens

Robbie Williams

3/5

I liked it! Very nostalgic for the two hits. Overall pretty good. But I can’t seriously give it a 4. 3.5.

Joan Baez

2/5

I was going to give this a better score but it went on too long. It’s fine but that let it be cover just made me think of the original the whole time.

Parallel Lines

Blondie

5/5

The hits are great and the rest are cool. No complaints.

Fever Ray

2/5

Music is cool. Don’t like the vocal tho

The New Tango

4/5

Great vibe. Big iron is peak. 4 stars for big iron alone.

All Mod Cons

The Jam

2/5

Overstays its welcome and is boring.

Water From An Ancient Well

Abdullah Ibrahim

2/5

It’s nice but I couldn’t find it on Apple Music and had to use Spotify free which is like getting a drill stuck in your head.

American IV: The Man Comes Around

Johnny Cash

3/5

I really liked this album but I dropped a point for that bridge over troubled water cover because it was not it.

The Cars

4/5

Cool album. Good album length. I knew one song. The rest were cool.

At San Quentin

Johnny Cash

5/5

Honestly great live album. Loved this.

3/5

I like the first song and zoned out of the rest

Jazz Samba

Pretty great album. First 2 songs are the best imo and the song later on with lots of slide.

Deep Purple In Rock

Deep Purple

4/5

I like deep purple. I like this

Daydream Nation

Sonic Youth

4/5

I love this kind of thing. Noise is fucking epic. It’s too long tho so minus 1 star.

Viva Hate

Morrissey

1/5

3 for being alright. -2 for being a Morrissey album.

Highway 61 Revisited

Bob Dylan

4/5

I really liked this. But it’s my kind of thing anyway.

Crossing the Red Sea With the Adverts

The Adverts

3/5

I didn’t hate it. My base enjoyment for a lot of it was ok.

If I Could Only Remember My Name

David Crosby

3/5

Not the worst. Not the best.

Raising Hell

Run-D.M.C.

5/5

Epic album. 2 great songs and the rest was very listenable.

This Year's Model

Elvis Costello & The Attractions

3/5

Honestly not bad

This Is Hardcore

Pulp

4/5

Really liked the first 2 songs. Can’t really remember the rest much tho. It’s also way too long.

Songs For Swingin' Lovers!

Frank Sinatra

4/5

Franks got a fab voice. Songs tend to blend together but anything goes is extremely memorable.

Madman Across The Water

Elton John

4/5

Honestly really good

Vento De Maio

Elis Regina

4/5

Honestly really liked this.

The Stooges

2/5

Honestly pretty disappointing. That 10 minute third song is absolutely horrible.

L'Eau Rouge

The Young Gods

1/5

I did not like anything about this. Horrible.

Kilimanjaro

The Teardrop Explodes

2/5

Bass and drumming is cool which saves it from 1 star but wow this is shite.

Greetings From L.A.

Tim Buckley

2/5

I thought this was also shite. Last song was ok but that’s the only time I didn’t want to dig out my ear drum with a pencil while listening.

Pink Moon

Nick Drake

3/5

Honestly my first reaction is to look up tabs because there’s mechanically some good stuff here. I don’t like it but I can’t knock it for any other reason.

Youth And Young Manhood

Kings of Leon

4/5

Spiral staircase is great so +1 star.

A Seat at the Table

Solange

3/5

I honestly liked this a good bit. Nice bass across the album. It also has lil Wayne and Q-tip on it.

Sea Change

Beck

5/5

This is genuinely one of the best acoustic albums of all time. Paper tiger and little one are clear highlights for me. Side of the road is a great closer.

Heaux Tales

Jazmine Sullivan

2/5

I think she likes penis.

2/5

I hated this but it’s played in a competent manner.

4/5

Actually don’t get why this is one of the highest rated albums ever. Wouldn’t even call it best acoustic set ever. Still good though I guess.

Floodland

Sisters Of Mercy

3/5

More mid stuff. Not bad. Not good either.

Sheer Heart Attack

Queen

3/5

Queen is definition of a singles band. Nothing wrong with that as a band, lots wrong with that when trying their albums out.

The Strokes

4/5

All very similar but I do not believe in too much of a good thing.

1/5

The Velvet Underground

3/5

I didn’t really get this one. It’s not bad but it’s just like depressed Beatles imo

4/5

Honestly cool album. Could do without the last song but the rest is good. First is pretty important too given RHCP knocked it off.

Really cool album honestly.

Orbital 2

So many great songs on this but it’s also really long and there is stuff that’s rubbish on it. Helter skelter alone makes it very close to a 5 though.

Who's Next

The Who
