3 for me is middle of the road. I do like that it was all improve. lot's of fast paced movements and showing off his skills. Really helped as background music while play a board game with family.
Didn't love the style. or the Voice. seemed lazy. I know lots of people that love Bob Dylan. But I am not one of them.
Woof, So this is where the Whiny Emo bands got everything from. The lyrics from Add it Up? MAAAAYYY be a bit problematic... I used to think I was the kind of person that would listen to all types of music. This process has shown me that I absolutely do not listen to all types of music.
Very interesting, felt like i was playing GTA or watching an early 2000's movie. Not exactly my jam, but not terrible.
Needed that album. It was a fun listen. I do wish the rating system was out of 10 and not out of five. but what are ya gonna do.
Just a nice rock album that I haven't listened to before. None of the songs stood out. Just the general vibe.
I actually really liked this album. I liked when it brought in the Orchestra. It's not the preferred album to listen to when going through a breakup... just saying. there's definitely some feels.
CONGAS?? HELL YEA. BANANA BREAD AT WORK?? HELL. YEAH.
Such a fun listen. Reading through other comments It was funny about how divisive this album is. Maybe it's because I took percussion in high school. But man, those rhythms fucked me up in the best way possible. I would give it a 5/5. but I'm saving that for really special albums.
SUMMERRRRRRRRRRRRRTTTIIIME.
Cool album, not my fave nothing stuck out. But I was also working.
Some problematic lyrics again. But an alright album overall. Some good, some bad. Probably won’t listen to again. Skipped the last few songs honestly to get back to my heavy WUBZ. 😂
Hard metal? Ska? Who knows what it is. But I'm vibin'. I loved the first track and was expecting a more grungy metal album. But then it went ska and all over the place. Fun album. 3.5 stars. rounded up to 4.
Do I get it? Yea. Do I understand it? Maybe.
Do I actually like music? Or am I just a basic bitch that likes Taylor Swift, Melodic Dubstep, and.... and country? I knew there would be some albums I didn't fully enjoy. But this album made me rethink my whole life... Didn't even listen to the whole thing. I'm gonna go listen to some 2010's pop classics.
So, I liked the first song Blackstar, but the rest was kinda blah for me. This was made in 2016 and I don't know why it made the 1001 most influential albums? I feel like whoever compiled this list was a contrarian. Or maybe I've just been in my own echochamber of pop, rock, and dubstep.
.... ah, I see that he died two days after the album released. Which shouldn't bump it up in the ratings right? But that's maybe what happened. 4/10
Loved it, listened to it twice. I want to give it 5/5. but I just can't.
I didn't listen to the whole album. But I know Killing me softly with his song. So that was fun.
Very angsty, really fun. I don't know if I can listen to a full album of the Offspring. just a song or two. But it was fun to see a secret track at the end!
That was a BLAST. Exactly what I wanted from this list. It gave me good vibes like Styx, Boston, the classics. Really cool rhythms beats and just a vibe in general. I'll give this one a five star.
Ummm... Ok. Feels like you had to be there. It's got some good beats and some good moments. It's just so fucking long that I don't think that any of the songs will be in the rotation at any point.
I could see how this could be transformative and a necessary album if this was made in the 80's or 90's. But 2014?? This must just be the authors bias of the music tastes he likes. I swear, if we don't get one Taylor Swift album, I'm rioting.
Jumped around and listened to 20 seconds of each song. Not my vibe. I did recognize Just what I needed.
Nope, a couple of goodish songs. But I can't take the voice of someone who sings like they don't care. Couldn't listen to the whole album.
Man... All I ask is a gut puncher. A great album overall. Listening to it while going through a weird breakup is... so fun. It's interesting that Send my Love is as popular as it is. Her voice is generational.
Just a very middle of the road rock record. I thought that it was made earlier than the 2000's. But I was wrong there.
It might be because I'm half listening during work. But I haven't been jamming with the last couple albums. and looking at the future albums.. I might not enjoy them either.
Feel like this would be something that would be on the soundtrack for Guardians of the Galaxy. But just not my jam. would do a 2.5.
Couldn’t find it. So giving it a middle of the road.
Probably was great for the time. Reminds me of poodle skirts and back to the future.
Ah, Mrs. Robinson! Another middle/lower middle of the road album for me. probs a 2.5. but I'll round up to 3.
Really Digging Matty Groves.. .and the medley? Wasn't expecting much from this album. but it's a banger.
Fuuuuuck me, such a good album. All the rage, all of the gritty hell yea I need from an album like this. I can FEEEEL every song.
Pretty solid, but probably won't be coming back to it.
'Twas Alright, probably won't listen to it again.
This is very much at the high end of a 3. But I just can’t give it a 4 just because of Free Bird
Do I really need to listen to this album before I die? Probably not. It definitely didn't destroy rock and roll. And I could see how it would be transformative in the 80's or 90's. But having it come out in 2004.. there's so many better albums I could be listening to.
I dug the City, Country, City for the last little bit. but overall won't be listening again.
What an absolutely wild ride. TBH, I skimmed through a lot of them because I am trying to catch up and I know this album would take a lot to listen to and I feel like I got the jist. All of the collaborations? and Norah Jones at the end?? What a wild ride.
I feel like for a lot of these albums, I would need to be in the right headspace and also grow up in the time and listen to the albums with friends to get the full experience. Not just blandly listen to them in my office with the blasted overhead lighting. But it was still alright.
The Prophet's song was a standout. Such a good album and bohemian Rhapsody just takes it to another level.
Skipped around, defintely wasn't my jam.
You Trip me Up almost made my ears bleed and I physically cringed while in my office while listening to this album.
Yippe Kai Ye Mother Fucker
I actually quite liked that. Not enough to give it a 4. But I really liked the Beautiful people. Also just goes to show societal views vs the actual music. and how we're all just humans trying to create cool shit and find meaning. Granted I haven't looked into anything in his personal life. But i know that maybe some sketchy stuff is in there?
Could be good background music and if I'm in a really chill mood for reading or something. But didn't grab my attention fully.
One of my dad's favorites. And I can clearly tell why. What a banger.
Weird, Schottkey 7th path has some Subtronics feel that he might have sampled from. But... forgettable and also background music.
Sexy... saving this for tonight. ;)
