2112 by Rush

Are you doing the 1001 albums challenge? Are you sick and tired of all the electronica albums from the 90s and the psychedelic rock albums from the 60s? Well look no further, as I have the perfect solution for you! Introducing, 2112 by Rush. As a quintessential prog rock album from 1976, you may enjoy side A of the record, which is taken up by the 20 minute masterpiece “2112.” You may also enjoy the closing song “Something For Nothing.” Get your listening experience in by heading over to your music streaming service of choice and type in “2112.” Click the play button and enjoy! Here are some testimonials from some people who enjoyed this masterpiece of an album! “I wasnt a big fan and i didnt like it. I was a huge fan and i loved it.” -Michael, aged 45 “2112 having an average rating of 3.37 might be more of an insult than the fact that neil young has 9 albums on this list” -Me, age unknown “I’m g-glad I h-heard this album b-before I dieeeeeeee- *beep beep beep*” -Gerald, aged 86 “Goo goo gaa gaa” -Jordan, aged 1 month

The Köln Concert by Keith Jarrett

This is the boringest of the boring. Borings start at 3 stars. There are 4 tracks here, so we will deduct 0.5 for each song that I thought was boring. Track 4 was the only one i slightly enjoyed so that leaves us 3 - 1.5 = 1.5 Rounded up to 2 stars.

Nilsson Schmilsson by Harry Nilsson

This ain’t no Abbey Road or Dark Side of the Moon, but this is Nilsson Schmilsson so I’m gonna put the lime in the coconut and give this album a five out of schmive!

Freak Out! by The Mothers Of Invention

Its not special but its not the worst thing ive ever heard. 3 stars.

Rain Dogs by Tom Waits

How come when I do my jazz jam sessions I don’t have pirates break in and force me to play guitar while they sing circus music straight out of New Orleans?

Licensed To Ill by Beastie Boys
Feb 18 2026

This is my first album on here. I mostly listen to 2000s hip hop so this is very interesting to hear something from the 80s. Some of the songs werent for me but its a very good album. Safe to say that i will revisit this album again. Saved songs: Posse in effect, girls, fight for your right, brass monkey, time to get ill

Stardust by Willie Nelson
Feb 19 2026

Well, this album certainly wasnt for me. Its really just boring covers of 50s pop songs that could put me to sleep. Then imagine my surprise when i found out this guy has 104 albums. I can see why some people like the album tho. Its not a personal favorite, but it has good production and lyrics so i will give this a 2/5. I will not be revisiting this album again. I didnt save any of the songs. Is this album better than yesterday’s album, licensed to ill by the beastie boys? No.

Hot Fuss by The Killers
Feb 20 2026

I dont have much to say about this album. I really dont. The first half feels like a greatest hits album and the second half feels like filler. I will not be revisiting this album again. 3 stars Saved songs: Mr brightside, somebody told me, on top Was this album better than yesterday’s album, Stardust by Willie Nelson? Yes.

The Velvet Underground by The Velvet Underground
Feb 21 2026

This is my 4th album review on here, so ive never really listened to 60s rock before as a 2000/10s hiphop listener. That being said, this is an album that gets better after every listen. I can only imagine what the VU & Nico album sounds like. Easily 4 stars. Best song: The Murder Mystery Was this album better than yesterday’s album, Hot Fuss by The Killers? Yes.

Come Away With Me by Norah Jones
Feb 21 2026

Not my cup of tea and neither should it be yours. 2 stars. Best song: Feelin the same way Was this album better than yesterday’s album, The Velvet Underground by The Velvet Underground? No.

Buena Vista Social Club by Buena Vista Social Club
Feb 22 2026

I really dont have time for this so i give this a 3 stars for the sake of being a 90s jazz album Edit from future me: I finally got around to listening to this album again. This is a very great piece of music by some great singers. Im gonna give this project 4 stars.

Feb 23 2026

This is the type of album that gets better after every listen. Even after 1001 times. Best Song: Bathroom Girl Is this better than yesterday’s album, Buena Vista Social Club by Buena Vista Social Club? Yes

4/5 Was this album better than yesterday’s album, Virgin Suicides by Air? No.

Feb 26 2026

My new top album so far. 5 stars. Was this album better than yesterday’s album, Here’s Little Richard by Little Richard? Yes

Dummy by Portishead
Feb 27 2026

Immaculate piece of music. It would be wrong not to mention how good “Its a fire” is. Probably a top 10 song of all time. Feels a lot like a hip hop album as well. 4 stars. Was this album better than yesterday’s album, In Rainbows by Radiohead? No. Edit: This is 5 stars and 1000x better than every Radiohead album combined

Natty Dread by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Feb 28 2026

If you told me that this was the same time 10 times over, i would believe you.

Gets better after every listen. I recognize maps from tiktok also.

Led Zeppelin III by Led Zeppelin
Mar 06 2026

Sets the bar high with immigrant song. Doesnt get much better. LZ4 is much better Edit: No idea why i gave this a 3. This is definitely worth 5 stars.

Mar 17 2026

Second YYY album. Very different from Fever To Tell.

La Revancha Del Tango by Gotan Project
Mar 19 2026

Nice background music. Nothing to put on my playlist though.

Mar 20 2026

Love it

Raw Power by The Stooges
Mar 23 2026

Iggy version > bowie version

Green by R.E.M.
Mar 25 2026

Good enough

The Cars by The Cars
Mar 26 2026

This is all that ive got tonight?

Being There by Wilco
Mar 27 2026

A lotttttt of filler

Low by David Bowie
Mar 28 2026

Has some of the best instrumental tracks of all time

Only By The Night by Kings of Leon
Mar 29 2026

This is the product of LCD Soundsystem and Radiohead Solid. 4 stars.

Dry by PJ Harvey
Apr 01 2026

4 stars for album #44 This is actually my second PJ Harvey album in a row. I got stories from the city yesterday and gave that a 3. I think dry sounds more from the heart than the other one and overall this one is a fun listen So yeah 4 stars

Grievous Angel by Gram Parsons
Apr 02 2026

I didnt expect to like it but i really did!

Apr 04 2026

#47 This one is really good and aggressive. I love the first song Violet a lot. 5 stars.

The Blueprint by JAY Z
Apr 05 2026

I love it but who decided that girls girls girls needed a part 2?

Yeezus by Kanye West
Apr 06 2026

BBBBWWWWWEEEEEEW BWEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWEEEEWWWWWEEEEEWWWWWWEEEEEWWWWW BWEEEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWEEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWEEEEEEEWWWWWW WEWEWWEWWEEWWEWWEEWWEWWWEWWWWWWWWWW dum dum CHING dum dum CHING dum dum CHING 5 stars

Pearl by Janis Joplin
Apr 07 2026

Easily 5 stars but what is mercedes benz doing here?

C'est Chic by CHIC
Apr 08 2026

I was so close to giving this a 5 but i feel like it drags on for longer than it actually does

Tarkus by Emerson, Lake & Palmer
Apr 10 2026

A bit of a nothing burger and sounds a bit dated. The best song is “Are You Ready Eddy”

London Calling by The Clash
Apr 11 2026

This is easily worth at least 4 stars. But i don't get why people hype up the clash like they’re the second coming of jesus. I can think of like 10 better punk albums off the top of my head

I See You by The xx
Apr 12 2026

Only good thing to come out of texas

Superunknown by Soundgarden
Apr 14 2026

Despite how good it is, I cant actually pick a favorite song from this album. 5 stars.

1989 by Taylor Swift
Apr 16 2026

If i was rating this just based off of how much i enjoyed it, this would be a 1. But we’re not doing that here. Unlike the only album i actually gave a 1, heaux tales, Taylor actually has talent so i think its fair to give 1989 a 3 star rating. Best songs are the hits that 99% of us have already heard before listening to the album. But by far my favorite song is wildest dreams. Kendrick is on here so that’s cool.

Cut by The Slits
Apr 17 2026

Ari Up can sit beside Neil Young and Jeff Tweedy for having the worst voice that this generator has given me. This is going to be my second one-star album.

Music in Exile by Songhoy Blues
Apr 18 2026

This is what I signed up for! Up next on 600 punk albums from the 70s that could put you to sleep…

Snivilisation by Orbital
Apr 19 2026

This album put a grand total of zero new songs on my playlist, which is actually quite an accomplishment if you ask me. I mean I should’ve expected that with an album cover where I can count the number pixels on one hand.

Crosby, Stills & Nash by Crosby, Stills & Nash
Apr 20 2026

Ill be honest i zoned out on my first listen of this one. On my second listen, I enjoyed it quite a bit. I can give this 4 stars. The only thing that could make this album worse is if Neil Young joined the group. But that would never happen, right?

Smokers Delight by Nightmares On Wax
Apr 23 2026

That synth at the beginning of pipes honour scared the living shit out of me. But yeah, this is a very enjoyable album to listen to, but i dont think i will be revisiting this anytime soon.

Autobahn by Kraftwerk
Apr 24 2026

Alright. Thats it. I’m packing my bags and I’m moving to Germany now. All jokes aside, This is a good example of German electronic music. And not just Autobahn, all of Kraftwerk. Neu! could have learned a few things from this album when they made neu 75. Great job Kraftwerk. Some may say that this album is a great craft-work! I don’t think I can put this on the same level as Trans Europe Express and I haven’t listened to The Man Machine yet. Especially as I don’t find Mitternacht to be that appealing. That song is kind of like Moonchild off of In the Court of the Crimson King. I will say that Morgenspaziergang, which translates to “Morning Stroll” in english sounds exactly like a morning stroll, and I find that to be the most be the most beautiful song on the album. I’m debating on whether to give Autobahn 4 stars or 5 stars. Three of the tracks are very forgettable, but the other two alone beat most of the three star albums that have already been generated for me. I’m going to give this 4 stars though.

Nilsson Schmilsson by Harry Nilsson
Apr 25 2026

This ain’t no Abbey Road or Dark Side of the Moon, but this is Nilsson Schmilsson so I’m gonna put the lime in the coconut and give this album a five out of schmive!

The Queen Is Dead by The Smiths
Apr 27 2026

I listened to this album 2 songs at a time over a few hours because morrissey can get boring after a while. But there were no fillers on here; nothing that i would consider to be subpar. Which is why I’m giving The Queen Is Dead 5 stars.

Gorillaz by Gorillaz
Apr 28 2026

Great. Not Demon Days level of great, but still great.

Rain Dogs by Tom Waits
Apr 29 2026

How come when I do my jazz jam sessions I don’t have pirates break in and force me to play guitar while they sing circus music straight out of New Orleans?

Survivor by Destiny's Child
Apr 30 2026

And see, this is a good example of early 2000s pop. Great job beyonce.

Bryter Layter by Nick Drake
May 01 2026

“Hmm… I feel like listening to some Nick Drake today!”, said every coffee shop owner on earth. But hey, i could be listening to kid rock right now. 3 stars.

Lost In The Dream by The War On Drugs
May 02 2026

Very relaxing, great for road trips.

Jagged Little Pill by Alanis Morissette
May 03 2026

YES THERES AN ACCORDION LETS FUCKING GO

Woodface by Crowded House
May 04 2026

Wow, I couldnt tell you one unique thing about this album. Impressive.

Disraeli Gears by Cream
May 05 2026

Oh cmon give me something good thats not boring for once This is the most 3 star worthy 3 star album im ever going to give in the history of 3 star albums. There were a few good songs on here and the rest i could fall asleep to Your grandmas favorite album

Metallica by Metallica
May 06 2026

yes yes me like metallica me want more like this very soon

Blood, Sweat & Tears by Blood, Sweat & Tears
May 08 2026

This is the type of album where you hear a really good song and then get disappointed and assume most of the rest of the songs aren’t going to be able to top the one you just heard. But nope, the next song is just as much of a masterpiece as the last. Anyone who doesn’t think that this album is worth at least 7 stars shall be pulverized immediately. 15 trillion stars Was this album better than yesterday’s album, The Infotainment Scan by The Fall? Yes.

War by U2
May 09 2026

I love U2. They should install one of their albums onto every single iphone.

2112 by Rush
May 11 2026

Electric Ladyland by Jimi Hendrix
May 12 2026

Its not bad or boring but its forgettable. E x t r e m e l y f o r g e t t a b l e

Real Life by Magazine
May 13 2026

Its however good you want it to be

Eagles by Eagles
May 14 2026

I felt happy after listening to this

GREY Area by Little Simz
May 15 2026

I cared about this album less than you did

Scum by Napalm Death
May 17 2026

Back when i was a bartender in Dresden, my friend had told me about napalm death and i decided that i would play scum for all of my customers. While that was going on i saw two drunk young men walk into the accessible bathroom with a fully tattooed goth whore and they started to have a spitbogging contest inside while a guy in a wheelchair was patiently waiting to use the toilet. I felt bad for the guy.

Kilimanjaro by The Teardrop Explodes
May 18 2026

Mashed potatoes

L.A. Woman by The Doors
May 19 2026

I bet the people who hate this album also hate sunshine and ice cream.

Catch A Fire by Bob Marley & The Wailers
May 20 2026

Congratulations. I listened to Bob Marley before I die. Do i get a prize or something?

Superfuzz Bigmuff by Mudhoney
May 21 2026

I like seeing albums with average ratings under 3 because I know that they’re going to be very interesting to listen to. This one was no exception. I had never heard of Mudhoney before in my life but I’m glad that I have now. Superfuzz Bigmuff was really fun to listen to.

Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness by The Smashing Pumpkins
May 22 2026

I would give this 5 stars if not for the fact that it’s WAY TOO FUCKING LONG! I had to listen to this one in 4 sessions of 7 songs each to not get bored. I know that there are a lot of great songs here, SO WHY DO I HAVE TO LISTEN TO 5 FILLER TRACKS JUST TO GET TO THEM???!!!

Let's Get Killed by David Holmes
May 24 2026

Every time i get some 🎵🎶 BULLSHIT 🎵🎶 like Let’s Get Killed, I remember that some poor soul got THIS as their first album, a true introduction to the future this generator holds for them. Why does Robert Dimery love electronica so much?

Electric by The Cult
May 25 2026

If you’ve ever wondered “What if Metallica tried to sound like ACDC and was more boring than an elevator control panel?” Then Electric by The Cult is your answer.

Joan Armatrading by Joan Armatrading
May 26 2026

Good album to end a bad day, bad album to end a good day. My life is miserable so I liked this.

Sunshine Hit Me by The Bees
May 29 2026

Im glad i listened to this. This is a top 10 album so far.

May 30 2026

This is my second REM album, the other one I got was Green. In my opinion, the later REM albums (from green and on) seem to be wayyy more boring than previous albums like Murmur and Document. Even so, I still liked this album, and I’ll definitely be giving those other two albums 5 stars, but I’m afraid that Automatic For The People will remain at 4.

Fear Of Music by Talking Heads
May 31 2026

I’ve been listening to a lot of Talking Heads lately so as you can imagine, I was very happy when this album popped up. And oh man is this album great. Best songs on here are Memories Can’t Wait, Heaven, and Animals. I am definitely giving Fear Of Music 5 stars!

The Köln Concert by Keith Jarrett
Jun 01 2026

This is the boringest of the boring. Borings start at 3 stars. There are 4 tracks here, so we will deduct 0.5 for each song that I thought was boring. Track 4 was the only one i slightly enjoyed so that leaves us 3 - 1.5 = 1.5 Rounded up to 2 stars.

Power In Numbers by Jurassic 5
Jun 02 2026

Cool hip hop album, very good. 5 very jurassic stars.

Slippery When Wet by Bon Jovi
Jun 03 2026

I get that a lot of people don’t like Bon Jovi. Well I do and I give this album 5 stars.

Bat Out Of Hell by Meat Loaf
Jun 04 2026

When I saw the name Meat Loaf, I thought he would be sone type of metal artist or something. Instead I got some nice rock that sounds perfect for its era. Personally, my favorite song is Paradise By The Dashboard Light. 5 stars.

Jun 05 2026

This is the music that plays in the background while a music critic explains to you why Neil Young is the greatest artist of all time.

Appetite For Destruction by Guns N' Roses
Jun 06 2026

Much like Slippery When Wet, which I got a few days ago, Appetite For Destruction is an album that many people seem to have really mixed feelings about. Three of the songs on this album, Welcome To The Jungle, Paradise City, and Sweet Child O’ Mine are overplayed on most radio stations. But just because they’re overplayed doesn’t make them worse. I regularly listen to songs off of this album and I am going to give it 5 stars.

Phaedra by Tangerine Dream
Jun 07 2026

Very cool ambient music. Not too long (I’m talking about you, Logical Progression) and fun to listen to

Let Love Rule by Lenny Kravitz
Jun 08 2026

Was this supposed to be a rock or pop album? If so, it’s very good. 5 stars for Lenny Kravitz

Endtroducing..... by DJ Shadow
Jun 09 2026

Legend has it that he still hasn’t sorted out his parking tickets

Jun 10 2026

Respectable early 2000s hiphop. Not as good as Be but I can certainly give this 4 stars.

Pretenders by Pretenders
Jun 11 2026

Not life changing

Safe As Milk by Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
Jun 12 2026

Dear god is this obnoxious. And this ain’t even Trout Mask Replica.

Bridge Over Troubled Water by Simon & Garfunkel
Jun 13 2026

Didn’t think much of it but I tolerated it. I’m giving this 4 stars.

Juju by Siouxsie And The Banshees
Jun 15 2026

Theres good post punk, and theres bad post punk. This is not only good, but its great. 10/10 would listen again. And Voodoo Dolly is such a roller coaster

My Aim Is True by Elvis Costello
Jun 16 2026

This tries so hard to be folk I didn’t hate it though. 4 stars.

Our Aim Is To Satisfy by Red Snapper
Jun 18 2026

Cool, funky, and groovy. If this was made by a respected 50s/60s jazz musician, it would be getting all the praise in the world, calling it a revolutionary piece of art. For me, I am excited that I had the chance to listen to this before I die. My favorite track in particular is Shellback. Overall, seems very futuristic and makes a good soundtrack to relax to. 5 stars.

Nebraska by Bruce Springsteen
Jun 20 2026

I have no thoughts on this whatsoever. The only way I will judge this album is if Springsteen personally plays for me in front of a campfire.

Architecture And Morality by Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark
Jun 22 2026

Please stop, this is the 5th new wave album I’ve gotten this week. I will never remember a single track on this album. I have never heard even one of these songs yet I must listen to this before I die.

After The Gold Rush by Neil Young
Jun 23 2026

Cant listen to more than 20 minutes of this without falling asleep.

The Rise & Fall by Madness
Jun 24 2026

I am fed up with this new wave crap

Will The Circle Be Unbroken by Nitty Gritty Dirt Band
Jun 25 2026

Good country music. I’ve been waiting for something interesting for a while now. 4 stars, minus one for being over 90 minutes.

All Hope Is Gone by Slipknot
Jun 26 2026

Dear person looking for a new pair of ears, do you still have your old pair by chance? I’ll take em!

Arrival by ABBA
Jun 27 2026

5 stars because I would feel guilty giving this less stars than slipknot. Also HELICOPTER

Giant Steps by The Boo Radleys
Jun 28 2026

Call it what you want, doogaze, britflop, bindie. Just don’t make me listen to this ever again. This album is listed as “dream pop.” It certainly makes me dream of a better album to pop up tomorrow. And Lazarus, huh? Stealing from David Bowie? /s

Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys
Jun 30 2026

No notes

Vivid by Living Colour
Jul 01 2026

e

Destroyer by KISS
Jul 02 2026

Droops off a bit in the second half but overall a great album Was this album better than yesterday’s album, Vivid by Living Colour? Yes.

The ArchAndroid by Janelle Monáe
Jul 03 2026

Suite III alone is worth 5 stars. Beyond that, I like the thing she has going on in the first half of suite II where every song transitions into the next one. She’s kind of like a more talented female Michael Jackson. Was The ArchAndroid better than yesterday’s album, Destroyer by KISS? Yes.

Van Halen by Van Halen
Jul 04 2026

Not too long and still had some memorable songs. Just how an album should be. Was Van Halen better than yesterday’s album, The ArchAndroid by Janelle Monáe? Yes.

Coat Of Many Colors by Dolly Parton
Jul 05 2026

Wow, great album to celebrate the 4th of July and America’s 250th birthday. I love every song on this album. Unlike other country albums I’ve gotten so far, this one makes you feel like you’re actually in her hometown in Tennessee with her while she tells you stories from her life. And I’m saying this as someone who usually doesn’t enjoy country. I do have one complaint though, WHY AM I GETTING THIS NOW!? I’M GOING TO BE IN THE SMOKIES NEXT WEEK! WHY AM I NOT GETTING THIS THEN? I suppose it’s better than getting another Elvis Costello album today. Random Dolly Parton fact: In her memoire, she told a story of a time she went to a bar in West Hollywood that was having a Dolly Parton look alike contest. She entered the contest while over-exaggerating everything about her appearance, and lost to a man. Was Coat Of Many Colors better than yesterday’s album, Van Halen by Van Halen? Almost, but not quite.

Dear Science by TV On The Radio

Radiohead for extroverts Released the same day my cat was born (RIP Mitzy). Unlike Mitzy though, I give this album 3 stars.

Aladdin Sane by David Bowie
Jul 07 2026

Not my favorite bowie album but its still great

Smash by The Offspring
Jul 09 2026

Sounds like 4 people who have only listened to one album in their life (and each member has listened to a different album) recorded an album and they were good for some reason

The Suburbs by Arcade Fire
Jul 10 2026

Eminem, Katy Parry, Lady Gaga, and Lady Antebellum were nominated at the grammys for album of the year in 2011. This somehow beat out all of them. And by the way, the katy perry album should be on the list.

The College Dropout by Kanye West
Jul 11 2026

Kanye’s debut album. This is my least favorite of the three albums he has on the list and its still a 10/10 for me, which really shows how great Kanye is AS A MUSICIAN, and maybe someday he will be as great of a person. Two Words and Family Business are two very beautiful songs and The New Workout Plan may be one of the most fun-to-listen songs of all time.

At Mister Kelly's by Sarah Vaughan
Jul 12 2026

Stark difference from Kanye West yesterday I’m 146 albums in and this is still only my second album from before 1966 (previous was Here’s Little Richard which I got for my 8th album, meaning that there’s a 9 year window where I have not gotten a single album from.) As for this one, I like jazz but I can only listen to it for so long before I get bored. So I give this one 3 stars.

Jul 13 2026

It’s unique but it’s not very memorable either. To an extent I enjoyed it. A bit too long for my liking though. 2 stars.

Marquee Moon by Television
Jul 14 2026

For something so “revolutionary”, this was so remarkably dull

Third/Sister Lovers by Big Star
Jul 15 2026

What did I just listen to? A broken pig? Little fun fact: There is only one album title in the book that belongs to more than one album. And that is: Third! And it belongs to three albums. (Big Star, Portishead, Soft Machine)

Jul 16 2026

Didn’t get this on a Monday but that’s all right! I wasn’t happy anyway. Word of the day is: Eyesore

Disintegration by The Cure
Jul 18 2026

Not to say that I didn’t enjoy it, but I didn’t like it as much as I wanted to. But that’s OK! I still have two more chances with the cure (three actually because Songs From A Lost World is being added in the next edition of the book.

Miriam Makeba by Miriam Makeba
Jul 19 2026

If you are a millionaire secretary or an old homeless drug addict, this album is for you. I usually enjoy African music but this was not it.

Scott 2 by Scott Walker
Jul 20 2026

How is this rated only 2.63 stars?! Scott 2 is a beautiful album and anyone who doesn’t like it on the first listen should listen to it over and over again until they appreciate the true beauty of Scott Walker.

Ready To Die by The Notorious B.I.G.
Jul 21 2026

It’s ok. There are better rap albums out there.

S&M by Metallica
Jul 23 2026

Second Metallica album. This is a really beautiful live album. Many have recommended in the reviews that this should be replaced with Ride The Lightning. Personally, I think RTL should be added but this one should also stay. It’s hard to believe that symphonic metal could work, but it does! The live version of Nothing Else Matters brings me to tears each time I listen to it and in my opinion, it’s even better than the original. This is an easy 5 stars. HOWEVER If we go to the wikipedia page, we can see all sorts of fancy stuff like the tracklist, producers, and where it was recorded. But we can also see the runtime of this album, which happens to be 133 minutes and 14 seconds. I have a rule when I review albums that says that albums over 90 minutes get one star dropped from its rating. So with how much I love this album, I must give it 4 stars. And yes, this will apply to the Beatles and Stevie Wonder. I’m not singling out Metallica.

Songs In The Key Of Life by Stevie Wonder
Jul 24 2026

I liked Innervisions more but this one is alright. Its over 90 minutes so I will have to remove a star leaving this a 3.

The Man Machine by Kraftwerk
Jul 25 2026

Looks like that weird 70s techno band is done with making music about vehicles and have now decided to create baby-making music for gen x daft punk fans that think pineapple belongs on pizza

Jul 26 2026

This generator has made me realize that I do not actually hate country. I just find the people who typically listen to country to be insufferable. Easy 4 stars.

Jul 28 2026

Not only did this album invent the word “stan”, but it also made people misspell Christopher Reeves’ name. To showcase the absurdness of this album, here are different lines from just one song, “I’m Back” “I don't give a f*ck if this chick was my own mother, I'd still f*ck her with no rubber and c*m inside her and have a son and a new brother at the same time and just say that it ain't mine” “I take seven {kids} from {Columbine}, stand 'em all in line. Add an AK-47, a revolver, a .9, a MAC-11 and it oughta solve the problem of mine, and that's a whole school of bullies sh*t up all at one time” “I used to be my mommy's little angel at twelve. Thirteen, I was puttin' shells in a gauge on a shelf. I used to get punked and bullied on my block 'til I c*t a kitten's head off and stuck it in this kid's mailbox” Man this album is a parade of horribles put together into a surprisingly great piece of music. Obvious censorship here so I don’t end up setting off a whistle in Reddit’s moderation system

You Want It Darker by Leonard Cohen
Jul 29 2026

I don’t know if it can get much darker. I listened to Eminem yesterday. I predict that I’m going to get Nine Inch Nails tomorrow.

At Folsom Prison by Johnny Cash
Jul 30 2026

Second album from this man I’ve had to listen to. 929 albums to go. The last one I got was American IV. 928 albums to go! I gave that a two, it might’ve been too looOOoow! 927 albums to go. But At Folsom Prison shall get more than a four. 926 albums to go!

Talking Book by Stevie Wonder
Jul 31 2026

This list is desperately trying to make me a Stevie Wonder fan and it’s just not happening.

Either Or by Elliott Smith
Aug 01 2026

Great album. I reckon he’ll go far in life.

Born To Run by Bruce Springsteen
Aug 02 2026

This album captivated my disinterest. There should only be 2 springsteen albums here max. I will not sleep for this!

This Year's Model by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Aug 03 2026

Critics like Elvis Costello because they look like Elvis Costello.

White Blood Cells by The White Stripes
Aug 04 2026

I was going to say that the white stripes sound like a black sabbath cover band until i realized that ive seen a black sabbath cover band live and the singer sounded exactly like Jack White. And cmon, if you asked me when i thought this album was released, i would’ve said 1975 at the latest.

Tigermilk by Belle & Sebastian

5 stars but im going to steal one of them and use it to hire the band a new mixer because I can’t hear a word she is saying

KIWANUKA by Michael Kiwanuka
Aug 11 2026

Usually when i see “won the mercury prize” i know that I'm going to be in for a very boring album. That was not the case with this one. This one was very fun to listen to and i would go as far as saying that this is my second favorite album of the 2010s behind To Pimp A Butterfly. I am definitely going to check out some of his other work.

Out Of The Blue by Electric Light Orchestra
Aug 12 2026

I would rank the spaceship albums like this: 1. Boston (10/10) 2. Out Of The Blue (10/10) 3. Mothership Connection (10/10) Honorable mention to Escape by Journey which should absolutely be in the book.

Since I Left You by The Avalanches
Aug 13 2026

Can an avalanche fall on Robert Dimery’s head already? But seriously, this album was so repetitive. The only good example ever of repetition in music is the limp bizkit song where fred goes “keep rollin rollin rollin rollin” That’s good. Avalanche bad.

Violator by Depeche Mode

Why cant every british album be this good?

Beggars Banquet by The Rolling Stones
Aug 16 2026

You know your dad’s friend that owns at least 3 motorcycles and has vintage 60s posters all over the walls, has fuzzy dice in their 1970s Impala, has 12 neon light-up clocks on their wall, one for each hour of the day, hosts the town super bowl party every year, and always has nothing but beer in the fridge? This is the type of music he listens to. I mean, it’s not bad, but I don’t see myself ever listening to this again.

Tubular Bells by Mike Oldfield
Aug 17 2026

As I was reading the reviews, I noticed that people were talking about this album in a negative manner, mentioning that Mike used virtually every instrument ever created while recording this album. However, I would like to note something that nobody else has seemed to mention. The first 14 minutes of the 1st track contains dabbling on a keyboard with very high-pitched notes. Why is this important, you may ask? Well, the answer has to do with the United States government. It’s a known fact that the government uses birds to spy on everyday civilians, including you and me. But it’s common to note that birds are extremely sensitive to high frequencies. Given that, I had the brilliant idea to loop the first 14 minutes of Tubular Bells pt. 1 and play it outside near all the bird nests. Since then, I haven’t seen a bird in ages! And I would highly recommend that you do the same. And the best part, you can even enjoy the music! Together, we can make a change. Place a tape containing the first 14 minutes of this album near all the bird nests and watch as the government surveillance props fly away! That’ll make the IRS mad!

Diamond Life by Sade
Aug 18 2026

Good but all the songs sound very similar.

Le Tigre by Le Tigre
Aug 19 2026

I felt like I was eavesdropping on a college volleyball team’s locker room at midnight drinking after winning a game, which is basically what it is. This album is so bad that it actually works. That’s one way of saying that I would rather listen to this than any Elvis Costello, Kings Of Leon, or Dexy’s Midnight Runners album.

A Little Deeper by Ms. Dynamite
Aug 20 2026

It didn’t suck. But I don’t plan on listening to this again. I could think of 1001 better albums.

...And Justice For All by Metallica
Aug 22 2026

If you don't like this then i don't like you Still could’ve been replaced with Ride The Lightning though.

The Low End Theory by A Tribe Called Quest
Aug 25 2026

There’s a saying that the best ATCQ album is the first one you listened to. For me, that was Midnight Marauders, which should’ve absolutely been included in the book. But the two albums here are also amazing. They are a group that (at least half of the time) raps about things other than drugs and violence or objectifying women. The jazzy beats are more interesting than 75% of actual jazz. I found myself several times focusing on the beats. On top of all of that, it really helps that Q-Tip has a really entrancing voice. Overall, one of the best albums I’ve gotten so far. RIP Phife Dawg

This is good but being good 11 times over makes you boring
