1001 Albums Summary

It's a very nostalgic album for me because I heard it throughout my whole childhood. Got a lot of earworms on this album. * Around the World - peak start to the album * Parallel Universe - good continuation of RHCP jam * Scar tissue, Otherside - 10/10 songs, perfect summer songs, funky with melancholy tones if you listen close * Get on Top - Kind of stupid lyrics, but yes go white boy go! It's fun little bop if you don't listen to the words * Californication - 10/10, just lyric-wise reminds me of Radiohead's 'Fake Plastic Trees' * Easily - Meh, when he starts singing briefly it sounds good * Porcelain - Pretty sad, short song, good one but I dunno if I'd listen to it on its own (maybe just as a part of this album) * Emit Remmus - The guitar in the background of the verses is really grating * I Like Dirt - I LIKE DIRT, peak song This Velvet Glove - Decent song Savior - I really like the overlapping of his voice in the bridge, relatable reflection on his father Purple Stain - genuinely what the fuck Right on Time - The chorus is nice Road Trippin' - truly does sound like 'road tripping', not in a bad way though it's nice

This album is perfect for the day I listened to it on: a cold, cloudy February day. I've never heard of the band or any of the songs before so it was cool finding something fresh. It's a very good ambiance and a good album for background music. Some of my favorites were intro and VCR. The intro is really nice, honestly would've been fine if the entire album was like this. In VCR their voices sound very good together (in different verses as a part of the whole song and also when they're singing directly together). Overall I like the little guitar parts and their voices sound good together, but I don't know if this album could be anymore than background music or something to put on just to fill space. Not hate though, it's beautiful sounding! It kind of reminds me of "Of Monsters and Men" and feels very quintessentially 2010s.

YUMMMMMM! I really liked this one! I feel like this is finally an album up my alley. Big fan. * Soul and Fire - guitar kind of sounds like sonic youth which I like, also really like the lyrics, especially "I think our love is coming to an end" * Two years two days - again, I really like this sonic youth-ness, good lyrics again * Telecosmic Alechemy - a little more grit * Fantastic disaster - a looooot more grungey, the lyrics kind of remind me of the beastie boys, the harmonica was very unexpected * Happily Divided - this song sounds like elliott smith to me, especially his singing, nice rhyme * Sister - super exciting guitar, I REALLY like the riff * Cliche - peak * Sacred Attention - guitar at the beginning was nice * Elixir Is Zog - The screaming is so funny to me 'cause it just came out of nowhere after the singing has been pretty soft in the previous songs, usually I don't like music with screaming but I like this song a lot * Emma Get Wild - GUITAR IS SO GOOD ON THIS, the way he's singing he sounds like he's just about to run out of breath and i'm SO down for it * Sixteen - the overlapping voices are peak * Homemade - his voice is very pretty in this, at first i was like oh! but then i got what it was about and its very heartfelt * Forced Love - I like the descending melody in the chorus a LOT. * No Way Out - yummy, i like the fly taking a nap or smth in the middle * Bouquet For A Siren - very much like the low and high voices, it feels like space oddity by david bowie * Think (Let Tomorrow Bee) - lyrics are nice, "girl of my dreams, or a friend that one day leaves", yeah i like the lyrics a lot * Flood - interesting song to end the album on

there's so many different things going on (birds, melodies, voices) and i love it. it was really cool. at first i was intimidated by the 18 minute long song but ended up listening to something great! i think it's better to have on in the background than something to actively listen to but great tunes

It's pretty boring, just 'classic rock'. It just repeats the same phrase over and over again and calls it a song. The only one I actually liked was "Tell me" and even though he repeated 'tell me' about 1000 times at least he sounded good doing it.

it's interesting...it feels like glam rock and reggae fusion a little bit. i could NOT get through this album when i first tried to listen - now that i am getting through it its pretty good... i would say 3.5 but ill round down because it was so hard to listen to at first. oliver's army is a good song but has a little bit of a jumpscare! my favorite was probably sundays best

BEAUTIFUL. immediately after the first 3 seconds i know i would rate it a 5! the backing is such a perfect platform for her wondrous voice. the stories of the songs are interesting too. just beautiful. it reminds me a lot of bob dylan and joan baez's lyrics

There is no bad song on this album. Everything is perfect: lyrics, guitar, drums, voice, etc etc etc. I LOVE THIS ALBUM SO MUCH. I grew up listening to it through my family so its sound is very familiar. It's just such a classic album. My favorites are "Good times bad times", "Babe I'm gonna leave you", "Dazed and confused" (obviously), and "communication breakdown"

I was looking forward to this because of Bob Dylan and they were great! Nice old songs and fun to listen to

Pretty fun! How is it punk though? Maybe I'm not so much into the early punk scene, so I don't know how it sounds, but I was expecting something different than what I got. I REALLYYYYY fuck with the beat on this whole album and I appreciate how it's in every song. I like grooving what can I say. My favorites are "Instant hit", "Ping Pong affair", "love und romance" and "typical girls". My brother did not like it as much as I did. I like the reggae influence

Didn't think I'd like it honestly, even though I really like "Walk This Way" because sometimes that classic rock is boring, but it's good! FAVORTES: Adam's apple: At first I didn't like it but then I realized it actually had some cool riffs and a cool melody. Walk this Way, Sweet Emotion: Classics Big Ten Inch Record: This song is really funny

Pretty dark music (melodically- and lyrically-wise) and sometimes it feels like the singer's rhythm is a little off. I think I might like it a bit better (find it tolerable even) if he had better rhythm and better notes (sometimes he feels like he's not completely right with his notes). I'm just imagining the kind of person who would write/sing these songs... and it's kinda hard to enjoy his voice after thinking about that. Seems like a bad version of Ballad of Hollis Brown. If you want ballads, listen to Bob Dylan. It's like nasty, serial killer Ted Bundy mixed with Bob Dylan. Did not like this at all. I got through half of it and figured it was enough

Favorites are probably "hometown unicorn" and "gathering moss" and "mario man". I liked this album, it had a cool groove.

It was good. It's interesting how many songs were in the album and how short some of the songs were. There were a lot of weird sounds on there, some that I liked and some I didn't. My favorite was probably "as we go up, we go down"

This was good! An unexpected classic hidden in its songs that I did not know was their song. I'm going to listen to them more in the future (specifically this album) whenever I get more time. I liked a lot of these songs especially "Comin' back to me"

Banger! Yesterday I was feeling tired and it was the perfect album for that. As soon as I thought it was getting boring, something wacky and interesting happened.

Not my favorite. I really like Echo And The Bunnymen but this is not my favorite album. It just felt like the same song over and over. I might listen to it again later to see if my opinion on it changes because I feel like I could like it in the future maybe. My favorites were: Do It Clean, Pride, Rescue, and The Pictures On My Wall

I knew Duran Duran's name but I didn't remember which song/s it was. "Hungry like the wolf" was the one! I like this album a lot, I think I've added almost every single song to my liked. Honestly "hungry like the wolf" is one of my least favorites, perhaps even my least favorite, of this album. Cray! They did a good job with this. I love the vibe of this album, especially the vibe of "The Chauffeur" because it's so eerie! It's so fun. I think Duran Duran is just one of those classic bands that everyone knows (at least people who are into music or grew up then) but they don't know how they know them. I'm glad I got the opportunity to listen to this album!

Reallyyyyyy like this album. I've been a big fan of The Police for a while, more so their "Ghost in the Machine" album. I really like their sound. I forgot that "King of Pain" was on this album, which is a song I adore. "Mother" is a little weird, pretty much the only song I feel iffy about on the album. It simultaneously is hella annoying but I also like it? Every other song is peak and a joy to listen to.

I knew Tiny Dancer prior to listening to this album obviously and I do really like that song, but the rest of the album was kinda meh. Maybe it's just cause I don't really get the Elton John hype? I'm just not the biggest fan of his stuff. Razor face felt like a dumb song and the rhyming felt cheesy. I'm thinking that appeal that's in the appeal of him for people though, the songwriting? I dunno. I did like the end of the album kinda though. It was chill and nice sounding but nothing caught my attention as "Oh, I wanna listen to that later". Maybe I will return to this album in the future and relisten and will like it more? I hope so because I want to get the hype about Mr. Elton John

This album makes me feel like it's Sunday and I live in the suburbs in a little house and it's early in the morning and the sun is streaming through the windows and plaid curtains and filling the room. This is the songs that would play through the radio while I had some tea and an egg for breakfast as I planned out my peaceful day at home. A perfect sleepy morning. I mean all of this in the best way. This type of music really holds a place in my heart. It's interesting because it's so different than the usual music I listen to, but it's definitely just a part of the person I wish to be, the part that wants a peaceful life in the morning (not necessarily and preferably not in the suburbs actually). I like every song on this album. Favorite tracks: Go Where You Wanna Go, California Dreamin', Spanish Harlem

Most of these tracks flow into each other perfectly so that I can't tell when a new one begins. I had to keep checking my screen to see if it had switched to a new song yet. That's pretty cool that the songs flow that well into each other. My favorite was probably "In the Lap of The Gods (Revisited). - Killer queen: Classic, catchy - Tenement funster: - Flick of the wrist: really cool guitar solos, I liked the way he said the first few lines of the song, it's really funky and has a good beat, very angry - Lily of the valley: very heartfelt, his vocals feel like Orpheus from Hadestown at some parts, it has a very beautiful melody and lyrics - Now I'm Here: this one also feels like a little bit of a petty, angry song, the guitar is YUMMY - In the Lap of The Gods: really cool fade in and out, crazy high notes, it does feel quite godly or otherworldly - Stone Cold Crazy: i really like the fast beat, more classic rock sounding, the ending is fun - Dear Friends: gives the same vibes of blackbird by the beatles, but blackbird is better - Misfire: YUMMY DRUMS AT THE BEGINNING, this is a joyous track - Bring Back That Leroy Brown: this song feels like it's ripped straight from the Whiffles in Crybaby. It feels almost just like squeaky clean. - She Makes Me: the harmonies are quite melodious and mystical, i thought he was gay... - In the Lap of The Gods (revisited): "I can see what you want me to be", i really like the lyrics, i think this revisted version is better than the original

Agh....... Is the sound I made when I saw I was given another Nick Cave album. I REALLY did not like the previous one, "Murder Ballads", for reasons. I don't care how "historically important" people say his music is, I do not find it compelling. I just think that he should have chosen another path in his life. I think that when he was getting started someone should have sat him down and told him he just doesn't have a very nice singing voice. But hey what do I know, I love Bob Dylan and some people can't stand his voice. However, Bob Dylan CAN actually sing and I don't think Nick Cave can. His lyrics too aren't my favorite. As I'm listening to it, the same trend is appearing of crude, nasty lyrics that I do not find appealing at all. Also, there is a lot of repetition, a LOT. A lot of times repetition can be good, however that's only if the lyrics and melody are actually good! So he didn't quite hit either one of those marks there. Agh... Just WHY does this guy have 5 whole albums on this list and someone like Gillian Welch only has one. She could easily have at least 3!!!! His music just feels a little cringey like he's trying to be edgy or something. "I am the captain of my fate"... okay affirmations? Keep those to your mirror, buddy. Yeah, that's enough of all that. Again I am hearing him being offkey again? I think? It just feels like he's not exactly hitting those notes. "Christina the astonishing was the most astonishing of all"... Wow nice one! The only song I can stand to listen to is "Straight to You".

I didn't know that I knew this many songs on this album!! I think that Van Morrison might play a lot on the Spotify at my job so maybe that's where I'm hearing it. I don't know if I'd listen to this album as a whole, but rather put a few of these songs on a playlist or just select a few of the songs to listen to at a time. My favorites are "Into the Mystic" and "Glad Tidings". - And it stoned me: This is a very beautiful song that perfectly captures how I feel about nature too - Moondance: very jazzy, it feels like a city, nighttime scene in an old movie - Crazy Love: very chill song, it kind of reminds me of Bob Marley's "One love" for some reason? - Caravan: this one is okay, very laurel canyon, doesn't really stick out - Into the Mystic: I've heard this one a million times but have yet to grow tired of it. This is such a GORGEOUS song, I love the "foghorn", lyrics, bass, guitar, I love it all. - Come Running: meh - These Dreams of You: harmonica!!! - Brand New Day: okay chorus, okay soul - Everyone: funky, little melody at the beginning, what instrument was that? i like the woodwind too! - Glad Tidings: ooh I f with this song, the guitar is so yummy, it's very fun to listen to because there are so many elements but they all work together so stinkin' well! The bass, chorus, lead vocals, blah blah blah... all yum.

It's pretty generic late 90s, early 2000s indie I feel like. I'm not hating but most of it is just what I hear when I think of that era of 'indie'. However, "Captain's table" and "Streets of Kenny" are really something special, especially with headphones on, which I had. I liked this well enough but especially liked those two songs. They were very floaty and whimsical and fun. Honestly this was another album I had a hard time listening to because the first time I tried playing it in my car and I've found that sometimes an album can't be really heard and understood by myself without headphones and actual focus. Given this, I think I just passed it off as some really boring album that I was gonna have to struggle through. In the end, it really wasn't that bad, although some songs albeit were quite boring, a lot of them were quite fun.

There was a time when I had a huge Bowie obsession. That has passed, but I know his music quite well still. Station to Station was never one of my favorite albums, but that doesn't mean I didn't like it. My favorite song on this album used to be "Golden Years". If any song could be called possibly "commercial" it would be that one, but nevertheless it's definitely still one of my favorites. The return of the thin white duke! I remember as I watched album reviews of Bowie, many people said that this was a period of his life when he was really into cocaine. There seems like there's a lot of loneliness and desolation haunting this album. I think a lot of people like it, but feel guilty for doing so because it was made out of a dark and lowly time. I don't think one needs to feel bad for liking this album, or even considering it ones favorite. This is because not only is art made out of joy, it is made out of despair. Sometimes despair creates the best art. It's a good outlet of emotion, whether negative or positive. I think that Bowie has also said he doesn't really like this album because of the memories he has of when it was created. These are interesting things to think about. I really like short albums like this. I really like the beginning of "Word on a Wing" because it sounds clunky almost like a child playing piano, not in a bad way. TVC15 is a really fun, funky song. I don't know if I can pick a favorite, everything is so good.

This is so far sounding very Beatles-like. Also I'm listening on headphones and "Bracelets of Fingers" is making me go a little crazy because the sound keeps switching between my left and right ear. Honestly the Beatles are cool and they have a lot of good songs, but I'm not the biggggggest fan of their sound, so it follows I'm not the biggest fan of this sound. Some of the songs are really good though, when they diverge from that Brit-pop sound. The distortions are kinda cool sometimes, but can be a bit much other times, like on I see you. The audio through my headphones is weird in this album, halfway through it kicked in with a really full sound and then backed off and kind of cut out for a second. I have a feeling that maybe this isn't a song to listen to on headphones. The constant back and forth of sound is kind of giving me mental whiplash if that's possible. I genuinely wish I could give half stars on this thing because I wish I could give this one a 2.5, but I feel like I should round up because there are some songs that are quite pleasant on here. The ones I actually liked were "Private sorrow", "Death", and "Loneliest person".

I've gone through this album before and boy is it a long one. Stephen Merritt is a really impressive artist. He's been in several musical projects including The Magnetic Fields, Future Bible Heroes, The Gothic Archies, and The 6ths. He's said in an interview with my local radio station that he likes albums like the sort that Frank Sinatra puts out with titles that explain what all the songs are. He likes to know what's going to happen for the second half hour to hour. He sees himself as doing the same thing, but he'll do parodies of it. He says he rarely has any idea what he's doing. Some songs, like "Punk Love" and "Plant White Roses", he has written in less time that it takes to sing them. Other songs, like "Ethan Frome" and "At the Pyramid" have taken 30 years to write. It's interesting how differing his process has been for different artists. This album isn't just about the usual form of love, the lovely, heartwrenching kind. It is rather all form of love, including the kind that isn't really love and is just a husband murdering his wife. It's said that while sitting in a gay bar, inspiration struck him to create 100 songs introducing himself to the world. That number soon turned to 69 as a much lower, more manageable one. He decided he'd have a revue with four drag queens and whichever songs they liked best, would make it onto the album. I think there is beauty in the fact of something being brief like these songs. Brief things don't take excessive time explaining things in extraneous detail, they just let what they are speak for themselves. The fact that there's so many complex, fun, beautiful songs on this album is crazy. I think I like all the songs honestly. I like the idea of the process of writing just a ton of songs. This certainly is a concept album, but a different kind than usual. My favorites are as follows: -A chicken with its head cut off -the luckiest guy on the lower east side -i think i need a new heart -the book of love -nothing matters when we're dancing -papa was a rodeo -yeah! oh yeah! -washington dc

I really liked this album. The cover is super awesome. As soon as I saw it was new wave I knew that I would probably like it. I liked every song in it. The songs were very fun and unique. I think my favorite song was "You can't walk in your sleep (if you can't sleep)"

I don't think that this album is as boring as people seem to be saying it is? I thought it was pretty peaceful. Not my favorite type of music, but I enjoy it. I think my favorite songs are "(They long to be) close to you" (obviously and reason to believe. I find it a little annoying how some of the songs are named, but what can you do. I thought that "I'll never fall in love again" was kinda funny.

I've heard the name Leonard Cohen before, but I don't think I've ever listened to any of his music or can remember anything ever said about him, negative or positive. At first when I saw that the album was called "Songs of Leonard Cohen" I was little annoyed... 'cause yeah no shit dude. It felt a little pretentious, but now I don't care because it's so good. As I'm reading more and trying to understand who Leonard Cohen is, I'm understanding a lot of people view his music as highly intellectual and think of him as almost a musical Shakespeare. Some people even feel as if his music is unreachable because of how intellectual it feels. I'm getting a little bit of that sense, especially when I tried to understand "Master song". I clicked on one reddit post who was analyzing the song, ready for a quick, easy explanation, but was met by a longgggggggg, extensive one backed by a COLLEGE PROFESSOR. I did not know it went that deep. Maybe one day I'll be ready to go that deep into the lyricism, but today is not the day. I can appreciate it without understanding it completely. Towards the end of this album I got tired of looking into songs too deeply and my note taking faded off... * Susanne: a breathtaking song. it's beautifully melancholy and melancholy in its beauty. It's supposedly based off of a poem in a book of his. It certainly feels like a poem. * Master song: this one feels a little sinister in its tune. I like how it guides the listener through the story. I've read a little bit about it because I wasn't quite understanding it as I was listening. I'm pretty sure it's a love triangle between the master, the narrator, and the lady he is singing to. I'm also pretty sure this has connections with the father, son, and holy spirit, but I'm not going to delve into that today. * Winter lady: lovely, also similarly melancholy, "I know I'm not your lover" * The stranger song: the comparing a dealer to a lover is interesting. I think he's trying to say that he completely controls the lovers he takes on and is the sole decider whether they continue on the next day. He's always looking for the "best card" or true lover/soulmate. Another religious reference (joseph and the manger). It's a song of someone who is being tossed from person to person, while the narrator watches from a distance wishing they could love them because they know they'd love them right. * Sisters of mercy: this feels like a diss on someone. Is that the sound of velcro in the background? Whatever it is, I'm not a fan. "We were lovers like that and besides it would still be alright" * So long, Marianne: this song has a jaunty, sea-tune feel to it. "I forget to pray for the angels so the angels forget to pray for us". I was walking around when the woman's voice joined in and I got spooked because I thought it was a sound coming behind me... * Hey, that's no way to say goodbye: it's okayyyy * Stories of the street: I really like the melody of this one * Teachers: "teachers of my heart" is fun * One of us cannot be wrong: it okay

It was interesting to say the least. When I first clicked on their artist profile the top image was an AI-generated image of guys in suits with eyeballs for heads. I understand the latter is a part of their image, but the AI slope was kind of distasteful. Their newest album also has an AI-generated cover. Greaaaaat. As for the music... It was certainly something. There were a couple songs I actually liked. I appreciate them for being so odd and really locking into being odd. I liked "Sinister exaggerator" because the vocals sounded alien-ish and I liked "Blue rosebuds". I also kindddddd of liked "Constantinople" even though they just repeated the same line over and over. Anyways, that's really all I have to say. I don't think I will return to this album, but I do appreciate it in its own way.

The title American Gothic reminds me of Appalachia and the cover does as well. It does have a sort of melancholy in some of the songs that seems to have a foothold in Appalachian music. Sadly it is not what I thought. I like how he doesn't repeat a lot of lines in songs, they are more like ballads. Apparently Elton John is a big fan of this guy and he was signed to Columbia Records for his fourth album. I dunno how he didn't gain any fame or anything. I can see why Elton John likes his music because isn't his whole thing musical theatre-ish? I feel like I definitely want to listen to this album again because I think I'll appreciate it even more the second time. "Montana song" is easily my favorite on this album. * American gothic: "they suffer least who suffer what they choose" is a really cool line. I really liked how he built the story of how the husband and wife were separately suffering and then brought them together in the song. * Love's enough: this felt like a very comforting song * Ballad of the ship of state: horns! I REALLYYYY like the melody on this one * One night stand: I just watched the movie "The spook who sat by the door" and this reminds me of the scene where Dan sleeps with the prostitute and he tells her she looks like a queen. * Oh, California!: Pete Seeger talks about this better. The orchestra at the end is gorgeous though. * Another friday night: A little country funk sprinkled in. Oh and soul? This song feels like a Broadway level production. * Family band: Jesus music? This sounds like the song that everyone sings at the end of a Sunday in church with all their hands linked together. * Midnight carousel: I really like how dramatic it is. * Waiting for the moving van: ya * Blues for Billy Whitecloud: Billy likes those peanuts. This feels like a song I would hear in Princess and the Frog. Beautiful and clear piano! I really like the story and the way his voice sounds, he sounds kind of cute. * Montana song: This melody and orchestra in the background makes me feel like I'm strolling through the countryside or that I'm in an old Disney movie like Fox and the Hound. "I found what I came looking for". I love how he starts the song and ends it with the same lines. Perf. "Taught his sons as he knew how, but could not make them stay". EDIT: I have been listening to this album over and over lowkey... I realllyyyy like it. I like it except for Family Band I think because that's a little to christian-y for me. But I LOVE all the other songs.

It's okay.... he's loose... good to know, I guess. T.V. eye is pretty good. It reminds me a little bit of Sonic Youth's more energetic stuff. And don't come at me, I know Sonic Youth was started after The Stooges were a thing, so if anything THEIR music sounds like The Stooges rather than the other way around. I just like Sonic Youth a lot and a great deal more than I like The Stooges. Maybe I just can't get the image out of head of Iggy Pop rolling around on glass. I looked at the Wikipedia and it said he used to perform acts of self-mutilation on stage and that in itself was terrifying, but yes, apparently he used to roll around in glass! Maybe it was the adrenaline from being on stage or something. No amount of adrenaline could convince me to do that though. Anyways it just makes me feel nasty. I like "Dirt" as well. I like dirt? Well I like dirt I like dirt. I like the bass line and I don't care it basically continues through the entire track being practically the same, but imagine that bassist... Oh I forgot to mention this at the beginning when I meant to, but the cover is SICK! I love love love it. It's so yummy.

I'm really excited to finally get a rap album! I want to listen to hip hop, but I have no idea how to get into. Whenever getting into a new genre is always super intimidating, but maybe this is a good way to introduce myself to parts of the hip hip genre. Anyways... getting into the album. There's obviously some outdated lyrics like 'Frisco dyke. The second song is just dr dre and snoop dog talking about how they want to stick their dicks in some guy, which is certainly interesting. The chorus of "let me ride" or the third song has really nice layering. I really like fourth song, I think the beat is really cool. I saw some of the reviews saying that he's not really contributing any meaning to the significance of the LA riots and just saying it's for looting. I can see that point of view when listening to this song. I don't think that it's completely devoid of meaning. The reporter or interview interludes are sick. Nuthin' but a g thang is really fun. "its like that and like this and like that and a-" YUMMMMMMMM. The skit at the beginning of deeez nuuuts is funny. I didn't know what to expect of a song with its name, but i love the intro. Calling your thang a "ding-a-ling" is shameful. It doesn't even rhyme with anything. I really like this song, they're some nice vocal things going on and I like the producing. It's interesting looking through the reviews because it's either "omg best album, this changed my life and the music scene of the 90s" or its "guys.... they said the n-word a lot :(((( guys.... they said motherfucker a lot too.... i hate rap music guys (with no reason, i'm just ill-informed)" I think that the second kind of person has a stick up their ass and need to get over themselves. Anyways! I get people not enjoying outdated lyrics with misogyny and homophobia, but if you can't handle hearing motherfucker you are cooked! I feel like I need to listen to this album one more time and on another day to know if I really like a song or not because right now I'm like "wow! nice beat and flow!" and maybe I'm just feeling it right now. Who knows, we shall see. I'm liking this flute. I'm always a big fan of the flute. Holy shitttttttttt the intro of "n**** with a gun"... GAHHH. The return of the flute. In "Rat-tat-tat-tat" I think it might be snoop dogg I'm hearing, but he sounds like daveed diggs in Hamilton when he's Jefferson.

I've heard people say that this album is the best Beatles album. I feel like that a lot of Beatles songs I listen to, I like the intro and then they start singing... and I don't like it anymore. The songs I liked were "Eleanor Rigby", "Here, there, and everywhere", "yellow submarine", "good day sunshine", "I want to tell you" and "tomorrow never knows". I thought it was okay. There are some classics on it, but it kind of felt like there was a lot of filler tracks that were really boring. I guess I'll give it a 4 because it has so many classics

Fear of music is pretty good. I liked "I zimbra", "mind", "air", "heaven", and "drugs". It has a cool sound that I don't really think of when I think of the talking heads. They have a lot of different sounds under their belt, which is cool. Their albums are very different from eachother I feel like. I mean I guess a lot of artists are like that as their music tastes or styles evolve, but in my mind theirs is very different. I dunno I guess I haven't listened to a FULL album of theirs, but I know a lot of songs on their other albums. Also, "heaven" sounds like David Bowie.

This feels very similar to Men at Work. Honestly I like his solo work a lot better than his work in "Elvis Costello and the Attractions". I like "Welcome to the working week" and "miracle man". Apparently there could have been harmonica on this album, which always makes an album better. God I love the harmonica. I wonder if the movie watching the detectives is based on this song. I didn't really like the movie because it talks about a man who is desperately in love with this girl who keeps treating him badly and he keeps telling her he doesn't like it but she keeps doing it. I keep seeing videos of the one scene where he's trying to flirt with her and it's like "Oh is that my cut? Is that my cut, baby?" and the captions are like "OMGGG GIVE ME A MAN LIKE THIS" or "If he isn't like this, I don't want him". It just annoys me because it's an unhealthy relationship to me? He's obsessed with her and it brings him a lot of pain (albeit the pain is kind of funny sometimes, i.e. him running around the baseball track crying). Anyways at the end of the movie he gives in and I HATE THAT HE DOES. I found something on reddit that said the title is likely from the Elvis Costello song. They thought it was because they kind of have the same story.

I liked "No man can find the war", "Carnival song", "Hallucinations", "I never asked to be your mountain", "once I was", "Phantasmagoria in two", and "knight errant". It's pretty awesome that both Tim and his son Jeff had such successful careers and were such good musicians. They had different styles than eachother which is interesting because you'd expect maybe the son to follow in his father's footsteps. I guess he still did by choosing to do music. Also, maybe you wouldn't expect the son to follow in his father's footsteps because of the whole "I don't wanna be like my parents" thing. I dunno. This album is pretty sick and I've been meaning to listen to it for a while.

I started listening to this album on my way to school, but forgot I still had somethings in the queue. I was like "Oh wow, I didn't know Coldplay was this good" and then I went back and looked at the songs I had just listened to and realized it wasn't Coldplay. I had thought the voice kind of sounded like Coldplay, but then once I actually started listening to Coldplay, I was like OHHHH yeah this is definitely them. Going into this album I think I only know Sparks and Shivers. It's decent. Good background music.

YUMMY first song! There's certain albums that feel like spring to me and this is one of them. It's packed full of springtime joy. I wish that this list had more music from other countries rather than just a majority of UK and US. I guess that's just the nature of the list and the person who made the list. Maybe I will be able to find one from someone who is not from the US or UK. It's just annoying that the album will be labeled "Other country" rather than Brasil. My favorite songs were probably "Tudo Que Voce Podia Ser", "Cais", "Saidas e Bandeiras N 1", and"Um Girassol Da Cor Do Seu Cabelo".

Honestly I think the only song I actually like is "I wanna be your dog" I think it was in that Cruella movie. I'm amazed at how they managed to make a 10 minute long song and that not a second of it is even remotely interesting to listen to. I saw that the stooges came up for my next album and I was like COME ON AGAIN? because I just had them the other day. I believe I had "Fun House". I hope this is the last album that I have from them. I'm just not the biggest fan of the stooges.

This is very reminiscent of the beastie boys to me even though maybe it's not so loud. It also seems like the type of music my dad would have listened to back in the day in high school or in his early twenties. This is in a good way.

Pretty sick. I really liked that the first half was all instrumental. I honestly thought the whole album was gonna be like the song with lyrics, i think it's "hero"? honestly I think I liked that one the least. The low voice thing at the end of E-Musik was kinda uncomfortable. I really liked the rain and the ocean sounds though. Super yum. I was playing stardew valley while listening to it and honestly it fit right in. there were a couple moments where i was like "wait, this is the album right...?" and it was. pretty sick

in "A new decade" the fade in is super cool. it also just has a really cool guitar/bass relationship if that makes sense? in "This is music" "if love is a drug then i don't need it/it ain't for me" is nice lyrics. awesome guitar again. it has the classic verve sound flowing through it. I actually really like the clapping in "on your own" which is strange because i usually DESPISE whenever people start clapping in songs or when they hear songs, i dunno why. the clapping in this song just feels like a part of the drums though. so it goes is like lucinda williams' guitar. I know she's not the one playing the guitar on her songs it's those two guys i think, but anyways it's under her name, so it's lucinda william's guitar. Lyrics relate back to the previous song which is cool. I don't know if they meant to do that but if they did it's cool they're thinking of their album more as a whole piece rather than just separate things that happen to work and sound good together. "another drink and i won't miss her" i like this line. "a northern soul" sounds like red hot chili peppers or "simple man" by lynyrd skynyrd. the interlude song is not something i would seek out on it's own but it's okay to listen to. I like the lyrics of "history". "life's an ocean" has fun rhyming and the bass is awesome. this album is pretty good. i only have heard bitter sweet symphony from the verve plus maybe one other song from the same album. most of this sounds how i expected it to sound, not in a bad way at all. honestly i think i would really like this album if the songs were shorter. i feel like these songs are so long and it's just the same thing all the way through which can be a bit monotonous to listen to at points.

The bassline is SOOOOOOOO YUM in albatross. i really like the singing. it feels post-punk-ish to me. holy dash. i listened to this for the first time coming home from a rehearsal and it was warm enough to put my windows down and i was just blasting this. my ride home from rehearsal is 10 minutes so albatross filled all of those. it was very cool. i really like albatross. this feels like music that my friend's dad would bump while we're going somewhere. it's a little nostalgic in that way.

I started listening to this album by listening to the songs which i had already liked from this album which was a surprising amount. I thought it would just be two, "mr brightside" and "somebody told me", but it was actually a lot. the first one i listened to was "all the things ive done" and i was like I KNOW THIS BUT I DONT KNOW IT and then it came to the "ive got soul but im not a soldier" part and i was like OHHHHHH OKAY. i really like the synth-like thing in "smile like you mean it". okay i know that this album is supposed to be like basic pop rock stuff, but i can't help but be a fan. it is also called white people music sometimes but i am white, so, GUILTY! i do think that i like the version of "somebody told me" by maneskin better than this one. it's more gritty which i think fits the song better. the way "change your mind" starts when you're wearing headphones is JUST IN THE LEFT EAR. i don't really like it when the only sound im hearing is just one of my ears. it's just three seconds that it's like that though, im being dramatic.

This album has a lot of good songs that are fun and catchy. I really like the cover with the scorpion it looks really cool. I also like their band name and album name. Rocket from the crypt! Well, shoot, I'm straight rocketing! I think I might revisit this album

I really like the vibe of this album. Whoever is singing, their voice reminds me of David Bowie.

Of course I know "paint it black", it's a classic that I've known all my life. The next song is kind of stupid, petty, and childish. It's just repeating how stupid a girl is over and over and not being clever about it at all. You can write a song about hating someone and it can be good; you can write a song about someone being stupid and it can be good, just not if you're The Rolling Stones. I am recognizing "under my thumb" a little bit which makes me want to give it a like but then it's also making me feel gross. I like "doncha bother me", I like the instrument that makes a sound after some of the lines. I don't think I've ever seen that word, doncha. This whole album kind of just feelings like men hating women. He thinks girls are stupid, should be under his thumb, and should recognize he's always right. They have their bangers, but I'm not the biggest fan of the rolling stones so far. "High and dry" is okay, but there's definitely a better High and Dry by Radiohead! All radio and no head. I want to give this a 2 I think even though it has "Paint it black"

I like this album, it's full of a lot of emotion. Some of it felt a little bit like trying to be tough but most of it wasn't like that.

"Words" is kinda corny and repetitive. It feels like a words of affirmation type of thing. "There goes the fear" is familiar, I like it. Is it in 500 days of summer maybe? I just checked and it actually is. I'm so locked. They're very classic 2010s and also are literally just Coldplay

I love the intro to this song it's so fun. I love when albums have intros like that. All of these songs are super entertaining and fun to listen to and I like how fast paced they are. I guess punk is kinda all fast paced but it doesn't change the fact that I like this bands fast pace-edness. GAH I LOVE SELF-ESTEEM. "i may be dumb but im not a dweeb. i'm just a sucker with no self esteem." PEAK LYRICISM. I love this album more than I thought I would honestly.

I'm not the biggest fan of his voice all the time. I can hear that it's the same voice in every song but it feels like a totally different style of singing in a lot of these songs. "war in peace" does sound like Radiohead.

This album is really fun and floaty. I also like the cover. Spiritualized's first song is "Ladies and gentlemen we are floating in space" and I think that perfectly encapsulates what this album feels like to listen to. I love shoegaze I think it's yummy. I paused my project and was going back through them because I had to catch up on some I hadn't even listened to but I also didn't write out a review for some of the ones I left a star rating for. Revisiting this one I'm realizing how much I like it. I think it might go up one or two stars. This seems like a good album to listen to when I don't know what to listen to or I'm doing homework or something.

This first song kind of sounds like Radiohead. It's making me want to listen to Radiohead. I like the way he says starlight. Steeyarrrlight. Oh em gee he said black holes and revelations! That's the album name! I LOVE SUPERMASSIVE BLACK HOLE. I LOVE TWILIGHT. I'M PLAYING BASEBALL WITH THE CULLENS IN MY MIND RN. I already really liked this song even before I had watched twilight, but I think the baseball-thunderstorm scene made me like it so much better. To be honest I feel like supermassive black hole is gonna be the only really good or unique song on this album. Let's see if time proves my point. Gang, "Map of the problematique" is kinda giving coldplay or trashy 2000s/2010s pop band. Not trashy as in Ayesha Erotica type trashy, more like what the hell is this corporate machine slop.

I really like the title and the cover of this album it's very silly. This just feels like another british band that the person felt like they had to include because the kinks are so big so it's obligatory. Long story short, it is NOT obligatory! It's nice to listen to but I wish it were differentttttt and weirdddddddd... I would give it a two but there is a little bit of fun in it

Wasn't great. Heard the guy is racist too, so I didn't finish the album because it wasn't good and I didn't want to support him in any way.

I like them! I like this album. I really like "one of those things", I think I've heard it before.

Their lyrics are a little strange at times. Rhyming diarrhea with gonorrhea is crazy work. Also "bouncing on old MEN" is crazy too. I think I heard "butt plugs" and "busting a clit" which are also very interesting. I like the back tracks for all the songs though they're very unique and nice. I liked the first song the best or "protect ya neck"

I knew the album cover because I've listened to Alright quite a lot as I'm sure most people have. Some of the songs had a pop-punk-y charm to them like "Caught by the fuzz" which I appreciated. Some of the also songs tended to get kinda weird and not in a good way or to my taste. "Alright" seems like a totally different style than all the other tracks so it really stands out, also it's really good. I wish I could give 3.5

I listened to this album while I was sewing a creature! I think this album and the people who created it would greatly support that notion. I listened to one of the tracks through my phone speakers and I wasn't that into it. While working on my creature I was wearing headphones and I really liked it. Goes to show you how much phone speakers are BUTT!!! I really liked almost every song in this album it had a really fun vibe to it. I think this is considered goth music and honestly I've never considered myself the BIGGEST fan of it because my claim was that it all kind of sounded alike. This will be anyone's claim towards a style of music they are not drawn to or do not like. It was ill-educated. Now I consider myself a fan of at least parts of gothic music. Yay!

At the intro I totally turned it off at first because I heard him talking and was like NO MORE BRITISH POP ROCK RIGHT NOW. Then I came back to it because I like writing reviews for all the albums. If i'd have stuck around for more than those 5, pushing 10, seconds, I would have actually liked it and I do. It's like one whole long song. There is almost no gaps for people to clap which I really liked. I like that there's not a lot of singing. The singing is kinda weird and I like it. I don't really know if they're tryna to put across a story...? If I looked at the lyrics (cannot possibly begin to understand them just by listening) maybe I could piece together the story they're tryna put out, but honestly, I'm okay!

I'm loving it so far but gosh golly is it long. Okay I'm like 10ish songs in now and I don't think I have the heart right now to finish this. I like it a lot, but not enough to listen to 2 hours.

I love all the songs in this album so so so very much. Anyways "If you're so funny, then why're you on your own tonight If you're so clever, then why're you on your own tonight If you're so very entertaining, then why're you on your own tonight If you're so very good-looking, why do you sleep alone tonight I know Because tonight is just like any other night." ...I think that says all I need to say.

It's okay. I like the first song, but nothing else is sticking out to me. I like that guy's furry pants.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS ALBUM OH MY GERSHHHHHHH!!!! I first listened to this album when my mom recommended it to me. since then I have gotten the CD from a pack of CDs that my mom gave me. in freshman year I remember I recommended this album to my current boyfriend and he thought it was weird because of Yoshimi battles the pink robots part two. that's how you know he's not the one. I love the story of this album. It's so dynamic and beautiful and every song is great. love love love

It's pretty fun. I like the first two songs a lot. I obviously really like bang the gong too. It's a good album. I think bang the gong inspired david bowie. Or maybe it was just the entirety of T. rex that did

This is a really cool album, but I feel like I'm not the right person to listen to it or appreciate it fully.

So far it feels like minecraft music in a way and I really like it. It is not like minecraft music anymore but I'm still really enjoying it. I love the random skits, they're super fun. This album has such an upbeat feeling that makes me happy.

"Television the drug of the nation" is a song that is still very real in its ideas and lyrics today. I appreciated that. The lyrics were cool, i think I should listen to it again if i want to appreciate it more

I was so caught off guard in the switch from the first song to the second, oh em gee. They're so different! I already know "Solsbury hill" and I like it a lot. While reading the reviews almost everyone was saying that that was the best song as well as "here comes the flood" so i guess I have that to look forward too. Crazy switch up though. Solsbury hill feels like one of those songs i used to hear on the radio all the time when i was like 8 or something. it feels like a quintessential 2010s song, even though it was made in 1977... I'm liking "excuse me". I liked the album cover until I saw the faint outline of a person and now I think it looks a little strange. Anyways, that was my two cents. "Down the dolce vita" sounds like something you would find out coming out of star wars at some points. You guys were right. "Here comes the flood" is real good. It sounds like a bowie song.

I really like this album. It reminds me of the verve but in all the ways that the verve is good and not in the ways that it's bad and boring.... I'm definitely gonna have to listen to this album again... I'll add it to the list!

Every song just kinda sounds the same. It's not my kind of music definitely. I do like when they counted off in french at the beginning of surgeons girl.

dare i say it.... he sounds like lin manuel miranda. so far the album is quite boring... andd.... it stays being boring too, awesome. honestly, I was looking through the reviews and a lot of people were saying that it was "horny" and really sexual and honestly, I didn't know what to believe because I was like oh maybe these people are being a little prudish. But then I listen to the songs and I would agree. It's a little too much.

I already know the song "someone somewhere" so that was cool to start with such a good song that i know already. anyways im 3 songs in and still really liking it. i like this sort of dazey floaty music

need to listen to this again to really appreciate it. i'm not in the headspace to do so right now and to truly devote myself to understanding it.

I listened to this album while bleaching my hair I believe which the music made me feel very supported in my decision. I liked it. I like the album name, cover, and the band name. It all fits a certain vibe of person that I enjoy. Another aspect of the person is that they like Of Montreal which is not really similar music but you know it's that weird quirked up person I guess.

the first song's lyrics are a little cringey. the whole album is kinda cringe

I like this one! I knew that one song from somewhere. Wasn't so aweinspiring I could give it a 5 though

Straight yummalum. Scrumdidiliumptious. Love love love echo and the bunnymen and their vibe.

I know he's being creative which I support, but it's not really my fave, and that's okay. I was a little scared when he started singing that song "---- vs the jets" or something like that because I thought I had accidentally started playing west side story, which I used to be a fan of, but not anymore. I used to really like ben cook and so I was really excited that he was in the new movie of west side story. I appreciate some of the songs, most of them really, and I appreciate aspects of the story especially of the ones about living in america as someone from a different country or as a person of color. However I do not appreciate how Maria's little boo thang kills her brother and then she immediately has sex with him and then trashes on her practically sister-in-law for being mad at him and her. Like what. Oh god I'm sorry I'm mad at you for freaking with the guy who killed MY boo thang. I don't know it's just dumb to me. Anyways...

i really did not wanna listen to this because i don't really like the rolling stones that much.... i think they're kinda boring but let's see. okay immediately i know and like the first song. good start.

i like this album honestly. i think it's really creative. but HOLYYYYY listening to it in my dark room at 12:20 at night is a little scary. i think the album is really ambient and i'm into it. unlike some other albums on this list i find myself curious about what the next song will be like and im actually looking forward to it. some of the other albums can get a little bit predictable with the same sort of songs or albums that all have a predictable, marketable, cliche progression to their songs.

this is a big throwback for me, all the way back to freshman year in high school. i used to listen to thundercat and frank ocean and the flaming lips and that was my soundtrack. i really like his voice and the way he sings.

This was okay, guys. From reading the reviews I can see that a majority of the people who are rating it 5 stars or even 4 stars are the ones that actually saw it live. I think it seems that this album is definitely an important one but I don't think that listening to it on spotify through my phone speakers captures the importance. It seems he was a very good performer as well as an admirable one, but unfortunately I had not been conceived yet as my mother had not been conceived yet, so I cannot relish in this experience. This leaves me at the fact that even though this was probably a very influential album for many, that I cannot rate it more than a 2. A 2 and not a 1 because a 1 is for the albums that are absolute dogshit and shouldn't exist. I think this has a place it's just not interesting or important enough to have a place in my head. Cannot give points for sentiments.

i like some of the songs, but it's mostly just classic rock which is okay in my eyes

i really like the cover. this album is really fun but the only thing i don't like is sometimes her screaming gets a bit too much for me

Honestly I know that a lot of people say that The Beatles are the best band to ever exist, but I don't really agree. I enjoy some of their music but I don't know if I respect all of it or respect the people really that much. I do enjoy the sitar a lot which I have found they include a lot in their albums, so this album is fun. There is also some interesting storytelling that I can appreciate.

i love the first song obviously. i like whatever that percussion is in the second song, marimba or something? it feels very high school band which you don't see too much in real music i guess but we rock with it. my doorbell is very rocky. there's quite the vibe change in little ghost. it's like almost bluesy but it feels not genuine and i don't really like it. overall it's pretty good though

First thing I'm thinking, not even having listened to it, "GODDAMN THAT GUY IS A BADDIE". I think we all know which guy I'm referring to... So far I'm really liking the first quarter of this album. It's very fun.

my mom knows how much i like bob dylan as well as how i like jeff buckley and one day she told me that ryan adam's was the perfect mix between the two. i had only heard a couple of his songs but was unfamiliar with him otherwise. I first started with heartbreaker between the two she recommended to me, heartbreaker and gold, and immediately loved it. I already knew a couple of the songs on it, but I was amazed by how much my mom really hit it spot on. I listened to this when I was driving all the way up to Michigan driving through Maryland and now I can't think of it without remembering that roadtrip. I love the little intro to beginning. I love all the vibes of the songs. I love the cover. I love it all.
