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?

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

Licensed To Ill

Beastie Boys

5/5

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

Willie Nelson

2/5

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

The Killers

3/5

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

5/5

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

Norah Jones

2/5

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

4/5

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.

Easily 5 stars but what is mercedes benz doing here?

C'est Chic

CHIC

4/5

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

Talking With the Taxman About Poetry

Billy Bragg

5/5

I love this guy’s voice. This album is very unique in a good way. An easy 5

Tarkus

Emerson, Lake & Palmer

3/5

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

London Calling

The Clash

4/5

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

The xx

4/5

Only good thing to come out of texas

Crooked Rain Crooked Rain

Pavement

3/5

This *yawns* is extremely *yawns* Zzzzzzzzzzzz……

Superunknown

Soundgarden

5/5

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

Ogden's Nut Gone Flake

Small Faces

3/5

Pink floyd on a budget

1989

Taylor Swift

3/5

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

The Slits

1/5

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

Songhoy Blues

5/5

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

Snivilisation

Orbital

2/5

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 two hands, one for each star I’m giving this album.

Crosby, Stills & Nash

4/5

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?

American IV: The Man Comes Around

Johnny Cash

2/5

Never did I think a country singer would do a cover of Depeche Mode. It sucked.

Done By The Forces Of Nature

Jungle Brothers

4/5

I think straight out the jungle is a better album. 4 stars.

Smokers Delight

Nightmares On Wax

3/5

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

Kraftwerk

5/5

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 5 stars though.

Nilsson Schmilsson

Harry Nilsson

5/5

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!

Rum Sodomy & The Lash

The Pogues

3/5

This is exactly how I envision Irish music.

The Queen Is Dead

The Smiths

5/5

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

5/5

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

Rain Dogs

Tom Waits

4/5

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

Destiny's Child

5/5

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

Bryter Layter

Nick Drake

3/5

“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

The War On Drugs

5/5

Very relaxing, great for road trips.

Metallica

5/5

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

The Infotainment Scan

The Fall

2/5

Operation mindfuck I do not like your tone

Blood, Sweat & Tears

5/5

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

5/5

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

Scum

Napalm Death

3/5

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
