I've heard of Arctic Monkeys before, so great start!
'Perhaps Vampires Is A Bit Strong But...' and 'You Probably Couldn't See For The Lights But You Were Staring Straight At Me' are my favourites.
I really like 'Painter Song' and 'Nightingale'. Very relaxing and the melodies were very sweet. Norah Jones's vocals are beautiful.
"991 Is A Joke", "Welcome To The Terrordome", and "Fight The Power" are my favs. Not really into the rap genre sadly but loved listening to this piece.
Not too crazy about this album. Can't really tell you why??? I can see the value and the quality of the performance is undeniable however, I just didn't get ***into it I guess. I like Black Sabbath, this album isn't the one for me though.
Changes is iconic though so yeah...it's BARE MINIMUM good. No lower.
Glad I listen to it again because I found it way more enjoyable on this listen.
Not really the target audience for this artist but still had lots of fun.
The most unique one by yet. Really relaxing and 'close to the hear' kind of vibe.
Really liked then last song "String Reprise/Treaty"
Still not really my thing. Probably give this another listen.
Not really my thing. Will note that it's still enjoyable and its crazy this was produced in 4 days.
Appreciate the smooth melodies and relaxing somber tone. My least favourite because it really just isn't the type of music I listen to.
Funny to listen to album. Songs I wouldn't really listen to regularly but I really fuck with the vibe for most of songs.
Enjoyable listen! FUN!
I think I'm too caught up on the story of the album because it's super fucking creepy. Enjoyed the instrumentals and can see myself having this on in the background while doing something else.
The artist is a bit ****interesting too. Very influential not only in France but other artists outside the country (don't know any of them though :/ ).
Guy likes them young.
No vocals at all. Only very smooth and relaxing South African jazz music.
I think I'll use this album as something to listen to while I work on school projects.
Ver gud!
Oliver's Army was catchy but had a bit jump scare there.
Album is a good listen to but not my thing. Don't remember anything of the guy but only remember his unique singing voice.
Really liked Freedom, Break, A Day At The Races, and I Am Somebody.
Break was the one I fucked with the most but I think A Day At The Races is my overall favourite.
I think this is Alternative Hip hop? I need to familiarize myself with more music genres and sub-genres.
Very trippy music. "Neo-Psychedelia" to be specific. By far the strangest album so far on the list. Really liking it though. The kind of music I'd listen to if I were to take any drugs.
"Movin' on Up" is probably the most normal song on the list.
"Slip Inside This House" and "Loaded" are super good!
Have to listen to the other music not available on Spotify. The song named the same as the album is not available wtf?!?!
Love the mixture of genres included in the album: punk, ska, reggae, soul, funk, blues, hard rock, and heavy metal.
A lot of fun songs in this album. Ma and Pa, Deep Inside, and Slow Bus Movin' were my favourites.
Very atmospheric music; specifically science fiction.
Such a vibe and I appreciate what it provides. Metropolis is my favourite.
I'm so dumb; I didn't know this band had Courtney Love as the lead singer.
This is alternative rock and grunge(don't really know what this means) music
Really like this album a lot. The debut song is probably my favourite in the album which isn't surprising since it seems to be their most successful song.
Not really a country guy. Not at all a country guy actually.
So this album was doomed from the start for me.
If there's some great and amazing context I'm missing here then that sucks. I just don't like country music.
I do like the Las Vegas song.
Once again...I don't like country.
I really like the first song in the album "Oh What A World".
Not too sure what the genre but nevertheless it was a good listen.
I really like the long rifts after the lyrics/singing is done. It's like a little epilogue trip. Neat!
I can't really describe the feeling but this album loves to *keep on drifting* forwards when words stop. I really like the vibe I guess.
I like the description from Spotify: "Heavy and slow..."
I'm more of a fast metal kind of guy but I still have appreciation for the pace that Killing Joke employs. I'm discovering a higher appeal to these kind of tracks I wouldn't give a second thought to because of this OAD challenge and I'm happy for it. I can imagine myself never giving these tracks a chance. I wonder how many songs are out there that would be my absolute kind of music that I won't know because they start and build upon a pace I don't generally listen for. Like A Friend by Pulp is an example of this. One of my absolute favourite pieces of music with a pace and build up is wouldn't immediately gravitate to.
Killing Joke isn't my cup of tea or can of diet soda but it's making think about how I should be treating music and taking chances when discovering new albums.
Will slowly listen to this album. There's a lot (69, shweet).
Like the guy's music a lot. Very iconic. Album was very 'making love' focus with I think has a women moaning with pleasure in one of them? lol.
Very good stuff.
Not the biggest fan of the genre but it was a nice listen.
Really nothing about it I didn't like. Found the introduction of old samurai movie samples being introduced into the tracks. At least I think they were old samurai movie samples.
Really enjoyed the album. Has almost exactly what I look for in music.
I think Hero is my favourite.
Sweet and Tragic. Orchestral type if music with incredible vocals. NOT ON SPOTIFY! Buuuu isssss fiiine.
Enjoyed it.
Very smooth and lovely to the ears. Nina Simone is beautiful to listen to. Lilac Wine is my favourite.
David Bowie is David Bowie so its good.
Had it on working on some assignments so it helped me cruise through it.
I don't listen to Radiohead as often as I should. I need to fix that.
Not my thing. 18 minute song! woahz
I mean...its Master Of Puppets...it's great :D
A very fun and groovy listen. I could listen to this often.
Really enjoyed Our House a lot. Not so much into country rock but these guys seem pretty alright to meet my tastes.
All atmosphere, vibes, and imagination. Loved it.
Really loved listening to Crystalised and Islands.
Great album to follow Justice.
More of a 3 star than a 4. Similar-ish to the last two albums. Black Mirror was a great listen though.
Stevie Wonder is great but this album isn't to my taste. Maybe theres some context behind the album Im missing which would increase my appreciation but again, its just not my taste.
I do really like Too High.
Paul McCartney like...its Paul McCartney.
Swell :)
Usually not my thing. Had a good listen to this album. Maybe because the songs like Proud Mary is a song I've listened to a lot before.
Not my thing really. Jazz-like stuff is always a nice listen tho so can't complain
I liked the previous Madonna album and enjoyed this one too.
I has Basket Case soooo uhhhhhhh...
Very strange and atmospheric. Kinda dig it and appreciate the presentation.
Sounds really pleasing. Adventurous.
I mean...this is fucking iconic shit. Grew listening to these tracks alone at various points in my life.
It's Straight Outta Compton maaaaaaaahn. 5 out of 5 all the way.
Not a Beatles guy ;/
Especially this album.
Smooth and soothing. Not my kind of smooth and soothing but still a good listen.
I really liked Eid Ma Clack Shaw.
Smooth.
I love some of The Rolling Stones songs. Like really love. I liked some of these songs in this album however, its not my thing. Classic and Iconic for sure but I'm not really the person who listens to this type of rock.
Just not my thing. Not my kind of music. Not what I look for. Not what I listen to. Simply personal preference. Someone could tell how technically brilliant it is but it wouldn't change the fact that this isn't for me.
I do like Graveyard, Socialist, and Radio 4 a bit.
Enjoyable. May need to re-listen to the album. Never heard of this band before.
Similar quality to XX. Still really enjoyed this album. Slow and sweet sounding. A bit tragic/sad. Really liked Dangerous and I Dare You
Really liked Tusk(song) in Tusk(album). Fleetwood Mac pretty good me thinks yes yes. Forgot they made The Chain. Ver Gud song.
Loved this album. Free Bird!!!!!! Didn't know it was from these guys!
Move of a 5 than a 4 however, there was only two other songs I really vibed with.
If I wanted some good ol *wild west music then Marty Robbins is a good choice.
I'm not much for this music (choosing to sit down and listen on a normal day) but it is a great listen. Big Iron is doing the heavy lifting here.
Nice listen but im not one for slow sappy love/melancholic songs. The melody for Clocks was my favourite. I did like the album a lot.
I liked a few of the songs. Supreme I Preme had the best vibe to it. Felt like I was exploring underneath a dark, techno, alien city. Weird but I felt it.
He's one of the Three Kings of Blues! Usually don't like Live versions of albums but this has very nice charm to it.
Also, the guy did 342 shows in one year!!!! Crazy stuff. Tired work but he made it work cause it was his life. I wonder if I'll see the other Kings show up on my list. Albert an Freddie.
I'm not slow country at all. Same with his other stuff. Not for me.
This album has Mama Said Knock You Out. Around the Way Girl was good too and Milky Cereal was funny.
Very soundtrack-ish if that makes sense. The vibe and electricity of this album is just so nice to listen to. I feel like I'm able to create various scenes and visualize them easily in my head.
Fun. Can I kick it! Heard of this one before! Loved the hip-hop and jazz. Always a good combo.
There were actually songs I liked in this one. Not a Springteen guy but this was good.
20 minute song got me fucked up. Really liked A Time And A Place and Are You Ready Eddy was funny
The whole album, particularly the tracks: One Hundred Years, The Hanging Garden, and The Figurehead feel so ephemeral or transition-esque. One Hundred Years was a really good start. Really felt the gothic vibes in this album.
Bob Dylan and his Harmonica are good. Not my thing though. Voice is definitely unique and a bit funny. Don't care for Live albums tbh.
Tell Me, Momma was good. Later half of the album with The Hawks was better than Bob on his own. More to listen to/for I guess.
Insane debut album holy moly. It's the album that made GNR burn so brightly so quickly. If this album was only 4 of these songs it would still be a 5.
First off, the vocals from Beth Gibbons heavily sets the mood for the whole album. She leaves a soft to high, almost sudden but smooth, tragic balance that fits SOOOOOOO WEEEEEELLLLLLL into every track. Without her vocals guiding me through songs like Sour Times and Strangers (my favourites) I'd imagine I wouldn't be as engrossed into tracks as I ended up being. Top notch stuff.
I wish I knew more terminology or recognition of the instrumentals. I mentioned before Gibbon's vocals guiding me through the tracks; the tracks themselves, to me, set the *world* or setting for the Gibbon's vocals to hold your hands through.
Like with Suede I was on my toes and continually engaged. I'd give that *feeling* maybe an 6/10. Dummy is a 11/10. Always reshaping. Always diving in deeper then suddenly reemerging. Again, wish I knew more terms to describe ***exactly what the instrumentals are doing *for me*.
All in all, Dummy felt Blue and heavy with atmosphere with tragedy lingering in the air. its cracked bro G :)
T3: Strangers, Sour Times, Biscuit (Glory Box is a very close 4)
Bro G, this album isn't so cracked.
The tracks: Bailed Out, How Could I Be Wrong, and Home Again are the only songs I could/would go back and listen to again.
This album was all experience. The most impressive part of the album was the immediate realization it gave me; this was a long story waiting for an opportunity to express itself.
The start of the album to Halftime were great and the lyric performance from Nas kept me constantly engaged into the story he was telling.
This World Is Yours I felt most engaged with. Memory Lane was my favourite listen where I was most impressed with his lyrics performance. Ain't Hard to Tell was a Great exit/end for the album and is second behind Memory Lane.
Missing the MJ sample made me feel fucking stupid."For me it is" LMAO
The album always kept me on my toes. A lot of the tracks (e.g. So Young, Animal Nitrate, Moving, and Metal Mickey) changed mid track or had an entirely different vibe to the whole song compared to the others.
This constant potential of change is what I really appreciated with this album. Most of the songs I didn't fully enjoy and the slow *strumming* kind of (alternative rock I think) music isn't something that matches my taste.
Overall very pleased. Vocals were good. Performance/Technical skill was blatant to see.
T3: Animal Nitrate, Moving, So Young
