Never Mind The Bollocks, Here’s The Sex Pistols

All Ratings

Sticky Fingers

The Rolling Stones

2/5

Fragile

Yes

4/5

It's no steely Dan but it's close

The Bends

Radiohead

4/5

High and dry is peak winnie the pooh's soul leaving his body. First track kind of lacks depth/dimension but overall quite good.

Head Hunters

Herbie Hancock

4/5

Band On The Run

Paul McCartney and Wings

3/5

Green Onions

Booker T. & The MG's

3/5

I mean there's nothing wrong with this but I just don't know if there's anything particularly great about it either.

Paul's Boutique

Beastie Boys

5/5

Music For The Jilted Generation

The Prodigy

5/5

Even for today this album feels so special, experimental, and unique. Literally dancing the whole way. Only thing I don't like is the album cover it isn't the vibe ...

Joan Baez

4/5

As you all known I am in my Dolly Parton era so my brain was already primed to love this and it was lovely! None of the songs stick out to me strongly tho so ... only 4 stars

Logical Progression

LTJ Bukem

2/5

Surf's Up

The Beach Boys

3/5

Transformer

Lou Reed

4/5

Don't Stand Me Down

Dexys Midnight Runners

4/5

I like a lot of things about this album but some of the tracks just feel a little overly long and there were some other odd choices made when it comes to mixing (which I do know were likely intentional but that doesn't make me like them lol). The production, lyrics, vocal direction etc are sublime but I'm not sure if I'll listen to this one again. I think I'll listen to some of their other stuff though.

The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars

David Bowie

5/5

KE*A*H** (Psalm 69)

Ministry

3/5

Off The Wall

Michael Jackson

3/5

Palo Congo

Sabu

3/5

Can't Buy A Thrill

Steely Dan

4/5

Synchronicity

The Police

3/5

Abbey Road

Beatles

5/5

Abbey Road might be a bit overrated still compared to other Beatles albums (I want you/she's so heavy is good but way too fucking long tho) but it's quite good through and through and has some of the most masterful song transitions

The Fat Of The Land

The Prodigy

3/5

Nothing wrong with this album but I wasn't really feeling it.

Homework

Daft Punk

3/5

This is a really difficult ranking for me because I love daft punk but this album is just not that good.. but I have to ask myself, out of context, if I had never listened to daft punk before and had no standards, what would I give it? Ultimately I reflected on my ratings so far and concluded...

Coat Of Many Colors

Dolly Parton

4/5

Once again as I've said I'm in my Dolly era rn and this is actually not one I had listened to yet. It's pretty good but very short and I just know how much better Dolly can get because I've heard it lol

Guitar Town

Steve Earle

2/5

The Number Of The Beast

Iron Maiden

2/5

I think maybe this just isn't for me. I liked it a little but in general I didn't enjoy myself much. Not in the best mood so maybe I'm being a lil unfair

Murmur

R.E.M.

4/5

I've never really listened to R. E. M. Before so maybe if I had heard their better stuff I would like this less but I thought it was pretty good ... Vibey

Stripped

Christina Aguilera

3/5

Guero

Beck

4/5

Excellent album some of my favorite Beck songs are on this album and many songs are SO GOOD!!!! But fuck farewell ride and also I don't really like hell yes either

Live At Leeds

The Who

3/5

Feel insanely mixed about this album because I do actually really enjoy the music but all the live albumness of it all is so irritating! Every song is way too long, the yapping is so annoying, the audience is also so annoying but luckily you can't hear them during the actual songs. Even though I legit enjoyed the music I was so ready for this album to be over! Every time I've felt like that about an album so far I've given it a 2 but that just doesn't feel right because I think I like The Who 😭 I'm gonna do 3 for now and try to listen to the ACTUAL real original release and maybe change it later

Maxwell's Urban Hang Suite

Maxwell

4/5

Yummy

The Sensual World

Kate Bush

4/5

C'est Chic

CHIC

3/5

Honestly some of these songs are really good but some of them are snooze fests so that makes this album perfectly mid imo

Aqualung

Jethro Tull

4/5

This album is paced perfectly imo. No individual song felt too long not the album as a whole which has so far been a feat in this challenge. I'm not the biggest fan of the vocal performance or lyrics but sometimes it hits and the instrumentation is very good.

Warehouse: Songs And Stories

Hüsker Dü

3/5

The mixing is undeniably terrible and it is a bit long for sure but despite those flaws I still actually like it a lot and I could see myself easily giving a different Hüsker Dü album a 4 because apparently according to the global reviews this is not a very good album of theirs

Endtroducing.....

DJ Shadow

5/5

Wow! So inspired! Total art! Wow!!! I mean this so genuinely. This is just such inspired art I'm kind of speechless

Signing Off

UB40

2/5

I liked it a little at the beginning but it really dragged for me and by the end I was bored out of my skull. It's so boring!!!

British Steel

Judas Priest

2/5

Very boring ):

The Trinity Session

Cowboy Junkies

4/5

God the mixing on this... If I want to hear the vocals I have have my ears blasted out by harmonica! You absolutely *can* tell this was recorded on only one microphone (in a bad way!) Overall it was really good still and I enjoyed it when I wasn't frantically slamming my thumb on the volume down button

Beauty And The Beat

The Go-Go's

3/5

When I Was Born For The 7th Time

Cornershop

5/5

This album is so good! I never would have found this outside of this challenge I don't think. The blend with the Punjabi music is so artful and aaahhh I loved it

Automatic For The People

R.E.M.

4/5

I liked it more than the other one I gave 4 stars it was pretty good but I may now demote the other one to 3 stars lol

Cut

The Slits

3/5

I have absolutely no strong feelings about this one way or the other. It exists

Dirt

Alice In Chains

4/5

Heartattack And Vine

Tom Waits

5/5

The album cover is giving me the creeps but it's so charming besides that

Never Mind The Bollocks, Here’s The Sex Pistols

Sex Pistols

1/5

I really didn't like this and I honestly don't feel like there was anything redeeming about it even if I tried to separate it from my personal tastes

Blonde On Blonde

Bob Dylan

3/5

I like this but as usual the shrillness of the harmonica brings it down for me. Like would it kill them to mix it a little lower !! And also I just don't feel like it's his best. It's doing a lot but not much at the same time

Future Days

Can

4/5

Genuinely fire. Felt so relaxed but entertained and stimulated while listening to this. Don't know if I can get behind calling the last track a 20 minute song when really it's like at least 3 pretty distinct songs put together but that's fineeee

Play

Moby

2/5

Kala

M.I.A.

3/5

I was so close to giving this album a 2 but the last few songs were pretty good and I also read about how this album is named after her mom which I think is sweet....

Da Capo

Love

3/5

Very pleasant and fun! No real negatives I like a jam and I like the sound and yeah it's good but I don't think I'll have a craving to listen to it again

Sound of Silver

LCD Soundsystem

4/5

Title track is a little overly long imo but overall very very good! The sound is so dynamic and I felt an actual connection to the tracks

Hot Fuss

The Killers

3/5

Last two songs legit dropped it from a 4 for me .....

Desperate Youth, Blood Thirsty Babes

TV On The Radio

2/5

Ananda Shankar

4/5

Very very fun I like it! That one 10+ minute song did not need to be that long tho

Brothers In Arms

Dire Straits

3/5

At Fillmore East

The Allman Brothers Band

3/5

This is very very good and unique but feels a little long for me and I don't see myself ever listening to it again

Heavy Weather

Weather Report

3/5

Album cover is so dumb to me I can't deal lmao but regardless of this I thought it was just alright

Whatever

Aimee Mann

3/5

I can't lie the age gap song went kinda hard and I love the name Aimee but this was mostly pretty mid

Bayou Country

Creedence Clearwater Revival

2/5

I don't really want to hear this again. I will not keep on chooglin

Rubber Soul

Beatles

5/5

Sorry but I love the Beatles!! It's just good! It just hits!!

Hejira

Joni Mitchell

4/5

Document

R.E.M.

3/5

This probably should have been the only R.E.M. album on the list because this is like all the hits I guess. Even though I liked automatic for the people I genuinely think I feel inclinded to give this a lower rating basically because it's the third one we've listened to and I don't feel like I like it enough to tolerate That

Natty Dread

Bob Marley & The Wailers

4/5

I have a feeling this is not the absolute best album but it was still quite good

Physical Graffiti

Led Zeppelin

1/5

Couldn't finish - this entire album is dragged down by the insanely flat production. Never in my life have I heard a guitar sound like that! They eq'd everything to make a straight line I stg. I wanted to stop on the first song but I DIDN'T I listened to all but the last 4 songs but what matters is I was brave....

1999

Prince

4/5

Very strange and overly sexy album

Superfly

Curtis Mayfield

3/5
