Pretty funky! Really nice guitar. Not really my taste though
The hits were great, but I was really bored by a lot of the songs
Really enjoyed this. Recognised a few but even the new to me ones were a pleasure
Really didn't enjoy this one. I can hear how he may have influenced a bunch of bunch of bands I've liked in the past, but I couldn't get into this one.
Holy shit I really hate this. Like I don't know if it's wholly the circumstance ( bad family party, half an existential crisis) but my god I'm not having a good time with this. I'm having a pretty bad time, in fact.
Some of the best parts are when Bowie isn't singing.
Different to what I usually think of when I think of U2. Sunday bloody Sunday was instantly recognisable, but the rest was new to me. Overall it was pretty decent.
There's a lot of noise, but it was good noise. It actually felt surprisingly modern.
I'm actually really enjoying this. It's not my taste in music at all, but it's really nice to listen to. Reminds me of when I would listen to the Joseph Hann tracks from Linkin Park.
This isn't my kind of music, but sometimes I wonder if these albums are an example of 'Seinfeld isn't funny', where I've heard all the influenced and therefore am but as impressed.
Some great guitar licks though.
I didn't quite expect this. Who was I thinking of? The Kooks maybe? Either way this makes me think of Edgar Wright films. Is this what rock and roll was like in the 60s?
Who was that band that I listened to in the 00s that had a sound like this? I liked them well enough but they gave me a headache after a while.
The first track is an absolute banger. Really hooked me in. The following tracks so far are a bit bland. Very sad moments in Buffy
I've listened to this before in my teens, so a lot of my listen so far is revisiting those memories. I think I had this on my first ever MP3 player.
I enjoyed it, but felt like I had listened to it all before. And it all sounded very samey
It's all very soft and quiet. Not unpleasant, not I'm not really enjoying it
Great. I listened to this way back in the day and it was great to revisit. I loved the loops, the bitter sweetness and the nostalgia.
Pretty good. The hits are big, and the unknowns are still good. I got into Heathen Chemistry and never listened to this one, but it was good to go back to oasis.
Not terrible music but definitely not my taste
There's a lot I can say about this album and what it's influenced, and how distinctly American it is, how it couldn't be anything but American. But in the end I can just say it's not for me.
Maybe I just don't like music
This sounds like what I would listen to when I was a poser and acting like I was more interesting than I was.
Now that I've listened more there's a definite charm to it. Very upbeat and melodic. Not something I would listen to on a car ride but pretty good actually.
I actually really liked this. Didn't know what I expected. It was nice listening. I really enjoyed it.
Ah I already know I'm going to like this one.
This takes me back to being 20 and smoking endlessly in my attic flat. There are some absolute bangers on this album, even outside the singles.
This album makes me think of endless summers and endless nights
If I don't give this fiver stars the my father in law will kill me.
Jokes aside, not every song was my taste, but there are GOATs on here
It was decent music but almost all of it faded into the background for me. I liked how it was quite jumpy and fun.
Absolutely loved this. Really really enjoyed every song
Right, it's ok. It's very middling and twee, and if its time. I can't say I'm enjoying it but I don't hate it.
I'm liking this more as it's still angry but not aggressive about it.
This album came out 60 years ago this week! Shocking. It's extremely good though.
It's strange to listen to all these songs without the censorship. I'm used to the radio edits, where when I sing along I include the pauses and sanitised lyrics. This one is tough to rate because logically I can hear how smart the lyrics are, and when it slaps it really slaps, but I can't get over his immature it is. Even if it's a persona, it's tough to take seriously.
Liked it more than I thought I would
I was in such a bad mood when starting this and it completely lifted me out of it
I think this would've been my jam in my twenties. A bit too all over the place for me now.
I enjoyed this a lot more than I thought I would. From the first song I was immediately dancing. Some of the singing was great. Too heavy for me generally but a really good album.
This is a banger. I listened to this a lot back when I was a teen, and it's the only Radiohead album I've listened to. Revisiting it today was very good, as it was a dark, rainy evening and I sat in the car and listened to this. Mwah, perfect, chef's kiss.
This is a treat. Super easy to listen to, super catchy, super fun.
I was around kids so day so couldn't give this a proper listen since it was all rated explicit. What I did listen to wasn't my taste at all. I have a hard time listening to punk since it's so abrasive, which is the point I suppose.
Do you know, it's pretty good. The music is s lot about a life and culture that's foreign in location and time for me, but the music is interesting to listen to.
Jazz isn't typically my thing, but this was great background music to a quiet morning. I think I like jazz more when I'm not actively listening to it, and instead letting it deep into the background of whatever I'm doing, letting it dictate the tempo.
I did not expect to be aroused at work.
I only know Marvin Gaye from "Let's get it on", and I was pleasantly surprised when the rest of this album was just as seductive/horny. It was a really pleasant listen.
Really enjoyed this. A a non-metal guy I was surprised at how much I knew and enjoyed. Some absolute bangers on this.
This was great. I kept wanting to add tracks to my playlist but they were like 20 minutes long. Super engaging and listenable. I think I'll be sticking this on another day to listen to.
I am bored out of my mind.
It was ok! Some good guitar licks but otherwise faded into the background for me.
I think I was in a bad mood when I started listening to this, it maybe just not on the right mood? Or maybe this list has thrown one too many classic rock/metal albums in quick succession and I'm a bit bored of the genre. I might come back at another time to go over this again, but for now it's a non starter for me.
This was instantly familiar and I couldn't place why until I realised it was a Cuban band, and I suddenly realised it was very similar to the Tropico 4 soundtrack, which is a game I played for about 40 hours 10 years ago. That seems like a shitty thing to leave on a review, but it's just that this album evoked such a blast of nostalgia that it became difficult to actually listen to it on its own terms. At the very least, I enjoyed myself.
I couldn't listen to much of this as I had kids around be all day, but I loved what I heard. It's interesting to hear music from someone who is actively in fear for his own life, being hunted. It's making me re-evaluate some rap/rappers not just as Tough Guy personas but instead expressing legitimate fears.
Yeah it was ok! Listened to it in the car on the way to touristy stuff. Didn't pay much attention to it but enjoyed what I heard.
Nah I'm not listening to this
I only ever listened to 'Today' and I'm glad the rest of the album lives up to it. Really satisfying hooks, some filthy guitar licks, that 90s aesthetic. Mwah! Brilliant album.
My Spotify premium finished today, so it was difficult to listen to the whole album in one go... But even then I wasn't too impressed.
I don't really like Snoop as a person, and I think a lot of this album isn't for me... But there's no doubt it made me bop and bounce along with it.
Surprisingly, this album has quite a few bangers in it. I though Le Freak would be a one hit wonder, but there was a lot of style in this album.
Very very very very very much not for me.
I liked it for the most part. It gets bumped up s a whole star as my wife sung me every song since she listened to it when she was younger.
I'm surprised that I haven't listened to The Smiths more given how much I love The Twilight Sad. Yeah it's pretty good.
I'm all for trying something different, but this was really boring for me.
There's something strangely nostalgic about this album. I keep finding myself reminded of Echo & The Bunnymen for a few months before it pivots. I'm liking this more and more the more I listen.
This is insane. I love indie music. I'm fucking Scottish. How have I never listened to Belle and Sebastian!? This absolutely slaps.
It was nice listening to this. Comfortable.
I feel like I should be inclined towards this music, but in practice I couldn't really get into it. It was nice background noise though.
I think this highlights a problem with listening to a new album every day - if I had more time to get into this, to really feel it and get in the mood, then I think I would really enjoy delving in and analysing it. But, just listening to it for today, it's kinda boring.
Whoa I'm really not enjoying this. Maybe I'm in a weird mood today, or under the weather, but this is really getting behind my eyes. Maybe I need to go back into it, because I can hear where a ton of bands have gotten inspiration from this music, but it's hard to listen to right now.
I'm really liking the dirty guitars, and generally dirty sounding music. Reminds me of metric.
Plus, Maps is incredible
So this is an album that's a different culture and a different time for me. I been appreciate a lot about it, and knowing it's context in history is fascinating, but ultimately the music isn't for me.
Yeah it was good but utterly unmemorable
This is a night driving album. I listened to it through the day and liked it, but in the evening I needed to take a short drive and it was superb. The music fits empty roads and streetlights passing overhead.
This was great. I heard so many of my favourite bands in this album. Strange how I can go my whole life not knowing about something I would enjoy this much.
Really didn't like it at first, but it grew on me. Some of the choices were disruptive and annoying to listen to, but I can't say I haven't enjoyed myself.
There's a lot that I like, and there's a lot that I don't.
I really didn't vibe with this when I first such it on, but a few songs in I was really enjoying it. I preferred the dirtier, fuzzier songs to the harder ones. Great album.
This bass is really speaking to me
Yeah it was ok. I feel like I have personal biases against Metallica. I didn't dislike the songs but didn't like them either.
I couldn't listen to much of this as it was hard to get on streaming, but what I listened to was good. Very funky.
Hard for me to get into. There's so much reverence with pink Floyd that I felt like I wasn't getting it.
Didn't get too deep into it. Was pretty put off by it in general.
Yeah that was good. Very listenable.
Delightful! This album came at exactly the right time. Bright, energetic, layered and interesting. Loved it.
Who is Dexy, and why do they have people running so late at night? I didn't really feel this album. Some parts of it I liked, some I didn't, but a lot of it was just background.
I don't like the Beatles. I know they're good, I know they're influential, I know it's supposed to be great music. But I don't like them. This album has not changed my mind.
Some of this really slapped, and some felt like elevator music. I really liked what I liked though.
Yeah it was ok. Heard a lot of things I liked.
Something about this album was quite comforting. Warm music for a cold day.
Whenever I think of the kinks I think I know the type of music they make. And then every time I'm surprised.
WHAT AN OPENER. Banger after banger. I'm loving this album. It's so powerful and hard and catchy. But I don't know what mood I have to be in to listen to it, you know? It's like an art house film - I really loved my experience listening to it, but I'll likely never pick it up again.
I didn't get to listen to this as much as I would've liked, but I liked what I listened to. I need to give this another shot another day.
I really liked parts of what I heard, but it was a bad day for me to listen to it. I might revisit this when I'm in a better headspace.
Love the music, hate the singing
It makes me somewhat nostalgic, but I can't get over the singing. It's grating.
Oh this was class. Some classic bangers here plus some I haven't heard that really resonated with me. Another album that I can't believe I didn't listen to earlier.
It's the Decemberists!
I enjoyed every track that I heard. It was great, really unexpected. Some tracks I thought fell a bit flat, and could've been better or more bombastic, but they were twisty and fun and I really liked them.
Oh this is so my jam. So very my jam.
This was incredible. A complete blast to listen to.
Another wall of noise album. Again this one is great. A little more abrasive than I would like but still thoroughly enjoyable.
I think I would really like this album if I paid more attention to it, but as it stands it didn't really grab me on listening.
I was really put off by this on my first listen, but it grew on me song after song. Again, The Cure is a band that should be on my regular listening, but haven't made it there for some reason.
Hey it's the guy from Scott Pilgrim!
This album was nice. Just nice.
Very weird. Not my taste at all
In general, this album was ok. But I listened to it whilst driving at sundown, with a red sky silhouetting the clouds and mountains, a dark road lit by weaving brake lights - and so it was perfect.
It was interesting to finally listen to this as an adult after it being so taboo as a kid. O felt myself miss a beat every time a lyric was spoken that would usually be censored on the radio. Otherwise, the songs varied between interesting and boring for me.
My wife really likes this band, but I found a lot of it boring. A bit wishy washy.
This feels like a mix between LCD Soundsystem and Johnny Cash. And I think I like that?
It was interesting. I liked some of the songs but a lot of them felt dated. This is the type of music my parents would've listened to when they were my age, and it's interesting to think about it from their perspective.
Absolutely incredible for an early morning sunrise drive to the gym.
Absolutely abysmal for an early morning session at the gym.
I feel like I've heard this in a million films. My mind is wandering to soft hues, quiet moments.
Absolutely incredible night drive home with the kids asleep in the back
There are songs on this that are iconic, and part of the zeitgeist... But generally it doesn't vibe with me.
I need to get back to this as I never gave it a fair shake. I liked what I heard
Perfect. Perfect timing, perfect sounds, perfect perfect perfect
There's a lot more I like here than what I don't.
I'm not really into ska. During my pop punk phase there was a definite overlap into ska music, and some of it I enjoyed but a lot was tough. This album has a lot of the things I like about the genre, but I'm still lukewarm on it
I know teenage fanclub already but never properly listened to them. This was a great album. It has an almost timeless quality to it, as if it could've been released last week. Really good stuff.
I liked this more than I thought. I still think the Beatles are overdone, and I can't really blame them for that - it's just the way of things. There songs on this album were catchier and better than other Beatles albums I've tried.
This was super wacky. Just when I felt in got a hold on this album it took a new turn. I felt a lot of nostalgia for playing old Sim City games, with its lovely background jazz. I really like this, but felt as though I couldn't quite find my footing.
Oh my god I love this.
Turns out I knew one of their songs, and generally like it, but I really love the rest of the album. Completely my jam.
It took me a moment to get into it, but when I did it was a really smooth experience. A lot of rhythm and energy in these songs.
I'm hit and miss with the Pixies. The are some songs I really love, but others are too grating for me to enjoy. Overall this album was great, but I won't be revisiting it much.
Ha! Two Pixies in a row! A treat or a test?
Turns out it was a treat! I liked this one much better.
Ah I'm really bored.
Like, it's nice. But super boring.
🎶Hold me closer, Tony Danza...🎶
This has so many bangers. A lot of great melodies. I was entertained the whole way through. A pleasant surprise, since I'm not into this music.
It's Queen! A lot rockier than I expected and super enjoyable.
Cracking opening song.
I know all these tunes! Super horny, dirty guitar licks. Amazing sound. Love this so much more than the other album on this list.
Very hit and miss. I think I need to listen to this again when I'm in a better mood. There was one song that was incredibly my jam but I can't seem to find it again. Ah well.
I didn't have much time to listen to this. I liked what I heard, but not enough to go back to it.
An odd one. I've swung wildly between but liking the lovey dovey music to loving the guitar riffs. An odd one to place.
It's the CSI guys! Some great rock on this album. Very catchy songs and great guitar.
I'm not liking this much. I'm not a fan of the sing song voices
This album is actively trying to get me to dislike it. The thing is that it's SO GOOD. The vocals are incredible. when it decides to be a song it absolutely slaps. But then it throws in this avant garde breathing segments that are incredibly off putting.
Which is annoying because holy shit this is SO GOOD.
I didn't realise Blur actually sounded like this. I thought they were going to be much more Pulpy, not this grungy dirty feel. Really enjoyed it, although occasionally forgettable (Aside from Song 2)
THIS IS SO GOOD. Listened to it twice through. I've always had thing against Jack White. I don't know why. Turns out it's stopped me from listening to some cracking music.
