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. ;)
Isn’t he the one that Michael Jackson cringed at in the we are the world video?
Very good, but It didn't have Eleanor Rigby, we all live in a yellow submarine, or some other classics. definitely loved the album and they're the beatles for a reason. But I can't give it a 5.
Like Colton, I am an uncultured swine.
"They were dancing, drinking wine, making love!” - Charles Xavier
Certified bangers, I can’t rate it a five because sometimes his voice is grating, but the hits are absolute hits.
I really thought that I would like this album more because Christina has an incredible voice. But I was just left wanting more. Sure, there were some jams. but I'd rate this a 6.5 or 7 /10. which is still in the 3 range.. I did save Dirrty tho.
I really enjoyed this album. Fight the power is a classic. But i did love the rythms. This urally isn't my sort of album, but I'll give it a 4. Was a fun listen.
Couldn't listen to it. His voice is terrible.
For some reason I thought that I would enjoy this album a lot more than I did. I just think of another song with a man with a high voice singing gibrish. I'll remember it sometime. Take your momma was pretty good though.
Really enjoyed this album. Yes, it is a little bit more boring and on the crunchy side. but his voice is so soothing and I did some really good deep work while listening to this album.
Started listening to it and definitely skipped around and decided that this album was not worth my time. Weird random Avant-gard rock album? Why this album is on the list is beyond me. Read a bit more. and just because it preceeded talking heads and other things.. doesn't make it good.
Nope, Kinda feel like I'm playing Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2. But a cheap knockoff version.
God, this rocks. Usually, I wouldn't like his voice, but this album absolutely slaps and I needed to add Around the World immediately to my liked songs. The bass and the drums also really get me. Just a really good grungy feel that scratches parts of my brain.
Oh, I'm digging this. What a great listen on a Friday. The soul was palpable in this. 8/10.
Good album, but didn't standout.
What a good vibe, funky fresh.
Pretty good in the background, but nothing groundbreaking.
Eh, middle of the road. nothing too memorable.
I sound like an old cranky man where all of these older rock bands sound the same and I'm just not feeling it.
Song 2 is a banger, but the rest of the album fell off, probably why it was a one hit wonder.
A good stevie album. Had some highlights, but a middle of the road album for me.
The first 5 seconds of the first song I already knew that I wasn't going to enjoy this album. Skipped around and could confirm. Too grungy, raspy, tired voice type shit.
Sounds like Coldplay.. I like it.
That guitar solo in Allergies?? Cars are cars was weird tho... still a 4/10
Not my jam, but also was pretty distracted while listening to it.
