Already listened to it, arguably one of the most important rock albums of its time, with a very prominent message within about drug addiction. Almost psychedelic in sound and nature, and very ahead of its time, a 10/10 in my eyes.
I had already listened to this one and thought it was ok, then decided to relisten to it and realised just how catchy this album is. The title track for the album is an incredible listen, easily the standout track on it, but there are plenty of other songs that are almost just as catchy. The song-writing on the album is good too, so overall a solid 9/10.
Incredible Folk album, one of the pioneers of its kind, and with some absolutely stellar song-writing to boot. The way Dylan interweaved some more rock-centric sounds with his classic country music is something that wasn't seen at that time, so it truly was an innovation on the sound. Not much more to say, a solid 9.5/10
Some rather nice sounding synth sounds in this record, however it just doesn't quite do it for me. Sure, the sound in the album was very uncommon for the time it was released, but there were other albums before it doing arguably more. Not a bad album, per se, just not one that really revolutionised its sound. 7.5/10
This is a hard album to write about, because what are you meant to say? It's Coldplay, arguably one of the most popular and currently influential bands, and probably their best album. This album tugs on the emotional cords really well, and while a lot of that may be attributed to the melancholy use of piano, Martin's quivery, falsetto voice adds onto this feeling of sadness you may feel when listening to it. Overall, a good album from a good, albeit a touch overrated band, a solid 8.5/10.
This album left a lot to be desired, put bluntly. As a debut album, it holds up just fine. A bit on the short side, with a considerable few good songs. However, this album just didn't really deliver. At most points it just felt like background music, not to mention Petty has plenty of other great songs, songs better than those present on this album. For a band's first album, its fine, just not great, especially compared to some of Petty's other works. Overall, a 6/10.
As some of my first exposure to Kate Bush, and after hearing a few of her other, much more popular songs, I can safely say that she is a truly great artist. The pop influence on this album is heard through many of its songs, but it still has a very somber tone. I can't say much else about it, it's a solid 8.5/10.
This album was pretty good, I enjoyed listening to some of the songs, the instrumentation was very nice, at some points have more complexity than other songs of its time, not much else to say, a decent 8/10.
Good album, as my introduction to Jethro Tull. However, it felt just a bit generic, with some fairly bog standard prog-rock instrumentation, however as a concept album, it works very well. The story of Aqualung is told throughout the lyrics of the music, which is a concept that wasn't often seen when this album was released. Overall, it's a solid project, 8/10.
I've already listened to this album, and I already think it is an incredible punk record, with some of the most out there and futuristic soundscapes, even for its time. There was nobody doing what these guys did, even 45 years after the fact, few projects have managed to innovate on a genre as much as this one. And, it has some killer riffs and melodies to boot. Overall, I can't go lower than a 10/10.
This album is famously considered to be one of the greatest punk records of all time, but personally, I just don't quite get it. I understand the influence it may have had on the genre, but there were plenty of other punk records released before this which had an even more advanced sound. Still, this record holds up really well, and is obviously very good, with some very nice sounding guitars and other instruments, but just enough to get an 8.5/10.
A nice sounding album with obviously a lot of emotion behind it, and some fun instrumentation. Over all, a nice 9/10.
This album uses some incredible samples and has some really good lyrics. A lot of the songs are really catchy and sound really good for their time. A 10/10 album.
A good RnB album with some great lyrics and vocal performances. The instrumentation too is great, with some nice sounding instrumentals. Overall, a 9/10.
Already listened to this and, separating art from the artist, as a debut project, is incredible for its diversity of beats with intricate samples, as well as its lyrical content tackling various themes. Overall, a great album, 10/10.
I had already listened to this album, but decided to relisten to it to more accurately convey my views, and honestly, I don't think it hit quite the same. I think its a nice album with some good songs and moments, but it just didn't quite land with me as it did. I still think it has some merit, so I'll give it a 9/10.
This album was pretty good, I liked a lot of the sounds I heard. Not much more to say, but will be getting an 8.5/10.
This album is so angry and it just sounds so great, especially as a debut. As an introduction to Fiona Apple's music, it is very promising. 9.5/10
Already listened to it, incredible guitar playing from Hendrix on this album and just an overall insane sound. Nothing short of a masterpiece, 10/10.
It's almost impossible to dislike Creedence Clearwater Revival's music, it's all very fun and inoffensive, and this album does nothing to dispute those claims. Just all in all a fun listen. 8.5/10
Already listened to it, has some pretty cool sounding songs but fails to impress me as much as their other albums. Doesn't mean it's bad though. 7.5/10
Already listened, AND own it physically so you just KNOW this is a great album. Insane production all around, with some real emotional value as well, topped of with some of the best songs known to man. I believe that this is Radiohead's best album, and deserving of a 10/10.
This truly is one of the most monumental, emotional, and passionate jazz albums of all time. Some of the stuff on display in this album I genuinely thought impossible from the time, but Miles Davis manages to encapsulate a certain feeling in this album that I just don't find present in many other albums, let alone from when this was released. A genuine masterpiece, 10/10.
Already listened, and what an album this is. Easily one of my favourite albums of all time, some of the best sounds I've heard on an album from around this time, I think this album is perfect, deserving of a 10/10.
Not a bad album, far from it, but just a touch overrated in my opinion. Maybe it's just because David Bowie has so many other albums outclassing this one, but I just feel that there's nothing particularly special about this one. 7.5/10
Some cool stuff on display here, but Jangle Pop was never really my thing. I do quite enjoy certain elements of some tracks, and they did good in terms of variety. I'd take it over the Smiths, but just marginally. 8.5/10
Already listened, and I think it's a little overrated. Not bad by any means, the title track is still probably their best song in my opinion, but that is the only point in the entire album I revisit. Good album, even if only carried by the title track, 7.5.
I had already listened to this album, but decided to relisten to better ascertain a written opinion on it, and I will say it was a delightful relisten. Kid A is a sharp right turn in Radiohead's sound from their previous OK Computer, and is executed flawlessly, containing a blend of electronic ambient noises, as well as more harsh sounding parts. Not many artists can swap genres like that that quickly, but Radiohead manages to accomplish that and then some. It should also be noted that I own this album physically, so my praise for it was spoken well before this relisten. This album gets a 10/10 from me.
Already listened, super disturbing album with very heavy themes and some interesting sounds. I can't say much else, but I'll give it an 8.5/10.
Already listened, and from what people had said about this album, I had high hopes. Unfortunately, this album didn't quite live up to my expectations. It's a good album, but I don't think it's as good as people say it is. Nice sounds on it over all, but still only getting an 8/10.
Really nice sounding folk album, incredible lyrics by Dylan, as always. Not the best album by him, but nowhere close to being bad. A nice 9.5/10
Already listened, and I think it's a little bit overrated. Not bad, in fact I quite like a few of the songs on it, more overrated in the sense that the songs I don't like quite as much didn't really live up to the precedent that other songs on the album had set. Still, a good album made by an obviously talented band, 8.5/10
Heroes is a fantastic song, but the rest of the album isn't great. It's a similar problem to the one I have with Hunky Dory, in that there's only one or two songs that actually have any meat on their bones, and then the rest is just filler music. Except this time, the filler music wasn't greatly enjoyable to listen to, being moderately boring throughout. Still a serviceable album, just one that can't quite maintain its momentum. 6.5/10
One of the easiest 10/10s I can give. Flawless record with some of the greatest sounds on it, and it still holds up today to boot. Cannot rate this any lower than a 10/10.
I don't know, I like it I guess? It's fine jazz, but it was just sorta nothing. I didn't get the same sort of feeling from this album as I did from other jazz albums, so maybe this style of jazz isn't for me. Still, it has some moments, but those are mostly bogged down by either repetition or just general disinterest in the piece. A shame too, since I had high hopes for this album. 6/10
"I've listened to this album before and I think it's a little overrated. It's not at all a bad project, it definitely has its merits, but when I listened to it for the first time, it left a bit to be desired. So a while later, I listened to it again, and that feeling persisted. I might listen to it again for this review, but as it stands, it's an 8/10."
Is what I said when I first rolled this album, but then I listened to it again, and I think I was hating for no reason because it's genuinely fire. I think I may have to relisten to some albums before making these reviews in future, because this is a 10/10.
How????? Genuinely how was there an album that sounded like this in 1977 I don't get it. I'd dare say this is Bowie's best album due to the insane production on it. 10/10
It's a fine Radiohead album. That's it, really. Not bad by any means, but it really is just 'Kid B'. 8.5/10
What a pleasantly surprising album, seriously one of the most underrated albums ever. The vocal delivery is pristine, the instrumentation is noisy and the entire ensemble just exudes energy throughout. Not to mention the album oozes cool at every point. Such an underrated album, 10/10.
The first time I listened to this album, I thought it was really good! It had some good rhyme schemes and great beats. Then I watched a video explaining the story of this album and I understood it further. Now, I'm relistening to the album and I'm realising just how great this album is. The lyrics, the themes, the interwoven stories between the characters. Not to mention how catchy this album is because the beats are on point and Kendrick's rapping over them is just supreme. It may not be my favourite Kendrick album, but it's still so incredible. It would be a disservice to give it anything less than a 10/10.
As an additional comment, Sing About Me, I'm Dying Of Thirst is a perfect song and I will be hearing no arguments otherwise.
So I listened to this one and forgot to rate it, but from what I can remember, eh. Not bad, liked some parts, but was kinda just a bland experience. Which is a shame because I liked Apple's earlier stuff a lot; Tidal and When the Pawn are both phenomenal. I just don't know if I was a fan of the direction she took after then. Let me reiterate, not a bad album, but it just doesn't live up to her other releases. 7/10
Good soul, but great social commentary. Other than that, doesn't grab my attention that much. Still hard to deny that this album is a classic and deserves all of the praise that it gets, just doesn't quite fit in with my tastes. 8.5/10
Yeah this albums good
Yeah this albums good
YES
This is such a badass album, absolutely love a lot of what's going on here. This sound defined the 70s and there's good reason for it, and it has some stellar production to top it off. Even if some of the instrumentation was weak and less enthusiastic than I hoped, this is still an amazing album. 9/10
The title song of this track is phenomenal, truly deserving of all it's praise. The rest are a bit forgettable however. Still, that doesn't really detract from this album much, it's undeniably an incredible record. 9/10
This is some pretty good garage rock, all things considered, really hammers home the authenticity of the music. However, it doesn't really excel at anything other than that. Quite a few of the songs are catchy, and the themes are very focused, but not a ton going on. Still, for what it is, very good. 8.5/10
C'mon it's Nevermind it has to get a 10/10.
This is some good boom bap, and clearly has had a lot of influence on genre from that point onwards, but I'd be lying if I said it wasn't showing its age. Thematically its very good, but a lot of the beats sound kinda same-y. You can't deny the influence of this album, but it lacks that polish that could really put it over the top. 8.5/10
This is one of, if not, the best rap album of all time. The production is crazy, the lyrics are insane, and overall is just so entrancing as a project. Easy 10/10.
I liked this way more than I thought I would, not being that much of a metal fan and all. I think combining it with rap is a really interesting concept and it pays off super well in this album. Thematically, it's very precise and it has some excellent composition. My bias against metal may be barring this from getting a 10/10 score, but that doesn't mean it can't get damn close. 9/10
Yeah this a great album. Really nice theming, excellent songwriting, and overall just such a warm experience. 9.5/10
What a vibe this album is. Such a groovy listen throughout, and the way Q-Tip and Phife Dawg interact with one another on the record is so satisfying. The lyrics are absolute fire and the jazzy production is so cool. Easily a 10/10 album.
This is a perfectly inoffensive jazz album, some of the warmest jazz songs all compiled into a nice listening experience. It's hard to say much else about it, since there's nothing especially noteworthy, but I think that's just a testament to the consistency this album brings. 9.5/10
I wasn't expecting to like this album as much as I did! This is a near perfect example of what psych-rock should be, and it has some brilliant instrumentation behind it to boot. Overall, such a wonderful album. 10/10
Phenomenal album, such a good listen with some damn good guitar playing too. Not much else I can say that hasn't been said already, 10/10
I had high hopes going into this album, as I had heard good things about Stereolab before, but it didn't quite live up to my expectations. It had a relatively weak first half but did pick up a bit in the second. Still, not as interested in this as I thought I'd be, but still quite good. 7.5/10
This album is really polarising because on one hand, it sounds amazing and is years ahead of its time, but on the other it's kinda repetitive and sometimes a bit grating. Personally, I love it and I think it's great; noise music is seriously one of my favourite genres, however I can understand the other point of view. My advice: don't listen to it with the volume cranked all the way up, it's a quick way to go deaf. 9.5/10
Iconic album from an iconic band, and it has it all. But maybe having it all isn't really a good thing. Sure, the sheer diversity on display in this album is something to be admired, but that diversity also creates clashes between songs on the album. But it all ultimately adds up to a truly unique album, and a classic at that. Some tracks bring the album down overall, but it's still so good. 9.5/10
What an album this is. The production quality, the samples, the lyrics, the featured artists, they're all there. There is genuine merit to calling this Kanye's best album, but I'm personally not sure. Doesn't mean its not a 10/10.
Love the sampling in this album, I think every member rapped super well, however I don't like it as much as Liquid Swords. I'm not sure why that is, but my view of this album may have been tainted from listening to Liquid Swords first. still not a bad album, far from it, just feels outclassed. 9/10
I know it's cliche to call Jimi Hendrix the greatest guitarist of all time, but is it really if its just true? It's a dead heat between this and Electric Ladyland for my favourite Jimi album, because both are just so awesome and have such good guitar playing behind them. And while I think Electric Ladyland has higher highs, that does not at all detract from the quality of this album. Easily a 10/10.
I am now experienced.
This album didn't really grip me like I though it would. I've heard great things about this album, but at the end of the day, it's kinda just another brit rock project. Not to mention it's really boring. Overall, not my personal preference. 6/10
What a landmark in metal music history. I don't listen to a lot of metal, but this album is incredible. I first listened to this a few years back, and it didn't really stick with me as much as it did this time. Now, I can appreciate the acoustic pieces in the album, but also adore the heavier, much more metal songs, typical of Black Sabbath. The whole album just has an unmistakable sound to it, something that makes you know that it has to come from this album. Not to mention that every song here kicks absolute ass! Overall, this is such an impactful album in the history of all music in general, and is well deserving of a 10/10.
Such a cool album this is, love how each of the band members play and the improvisation here is really good too. It's hard to find jazz as good as this. 10/10
Such a weird album, Eno is no stranger to wacky production techniques. What I don't get is how this was made in 1975? This is seriously some of the most impressive production I've seen from an album from this time, and on top of that, the entire album is just so beautiful. My only issue is that it takes a little bit to get started, but that doesn't really matter when the rest of the album is this good. Genuine masterpiece, 10/10.
What a hauntingly beautiful album. Some of the most soulful songwriting, vocal performances and instrumentation on any album ever. Seriously, this album is one of the most emotion-filled experiences ever, and it is insane that these songs came out in the 90s. What an album, 10/10.
