Some good guitar solos. Not bad but didn't really grab me as some rock albums do
Psychedelic rock. Very fun Melodies and good vocals. Surprisingly enjoyable
That’s a lot of harmonica. I’m not a big fan of his voice, a bit too whiny. Some very long songs as well made it a bit of a difficult listen at points
Really enjoyable. Best one yet. Mick Jagger with some excellent vocals and some really well put together songs.
Surprisingly extremely catchy. Probably the best album I've had so far. Lots of songs from movies. Without You was the best on here
Very weird, medieval style folk music. Not a fan
some very long songs but pretty enjoyable. Maybe a bit forgettable
Nice. Need to give it another listen as I wasn’t focussing but sounds good
pretty dull, not doing much for me yet
grew on me but still pretty average
Huge W - 4 all timer songs in one album
Very fun old school hip hop
Just a bit vanilla. Kind of like a fifa sound track but not the good kind
Such a good jazz album. Straight into the playlist
Pretty weird and way too long. Not a fan of the rock opera style tbh
Another pretty boring rock album. All the way from Memphis was okay but nothing special
Very much enjoying this one. Feels like proper rock having come off the back of The Who and Mott The Hoople. This is an album that is made to be turned all the way up
Christ this is so boring. Every song sounds the exact same
Live recording of a smoky jazz performance. This is my first experience of Tom waits and enjoyed it.
Wtf is this? 2 HOURS. I’d never heard of space rock and hope never to again
Felt a bit dull and nothing-y. After a bit of research, it's clear why. Quite corporate and formulaic. Maybe if I'd grown up in this era, I'd feel more strongly towards it.
I really wanted to love this but none of the songs really jumped out at me. Maybe it will grow on a second listen
Good. Probably not as good as some of their later work but can’t complain
Good rock album with strong vocals. Songs sound a bit generic though
Very strange. Inoffensive but I did forget it was playing through my headphones for about half an hour. Very nothing-y
Fantastic. Raw, aggressive, passionate
Couple good songs but far too long that you just lose interest
one of the best of the 2010s. Absolute banging ballads throughout with a couple of more forgettable songs thrown in
I get it. It’s dark, brutal, brooding. But also a bit boring. The intentional droning sound makes it sort of drown out at times
What on earth was that
Smooth, sexy, but a bit repetitive
I want to hate but it’s not easy
Quite nice and sweet
Grew on me after a few listens
Honestly really good but just too long. Would have been a 5 if it had been cut back a bit
Very forgettable… meh
they keep talking about Lynyrd Skynyrd which is pretty annoying. A few decent rock songs on here though
needs a 2nd listen. Quite enjoyable but didn't wow me. Nice folk music
Just scraped a 3 because sharp dressed man was pretty good
Nice but don’t like live albums
Not as bad as I was expecting. RnB influenced and a really strong voice
I don't really get it. Needs more of a hook for me, whereas it is 90% talking over some decent instrumentals
Pretty sad but didn’t really connect with me
First real introduction to funk. Sounded good but didn't really connect with me
No notes. Beautiful
Really unenjoyable noise
Beautiful. I don’t know enough technically to say why but it was beautiful
Not bad. Very very American but it has catchy hooks and strong vocals
Honestly I was expecting better but common people is enough to get it at less 4 stars on its own
A Latino style jazz. Not really for me but I’m sure it’s technically good
Alien abduction crap. My personal favourite was oxygene number 3, or was it number 4. At least it was short
Another pretty dull, forgettable album for me
Surprisingly fun. This is the most fifa album I’ve heard in a while. Stuck between a low 4 or high 3
It’s all a bit too vanilla for me. Inoffensive enough though
Paint it black was good
She has a nice voice but I just don’t understand it. The songs are weird and all blend into one
I’m sorry I actually can not do this
My first grunge album. I like the vibe and 2-3 songs really stood out to me
An hour and a half is far far too long. A couple of nice songs but also some lyrics that haven't aged too well. I do quite like the 70s sound though - a bit Elton John-y
The songs are all like 8 minutes which is my first red flag. Giving it the benefit of the doubt for now… mushroom was a shorter song and was a bit more palatable but then there was a 16 minute monstrosity
some really strong songs on there. Beautiful voice
Honestly underwhelming. Too experimental for me
A weird combination of radio jingles. Can’t believe this made it onto this list. Who is replaying this?
First introduction to black metal as a genre. Obviously this was quite influential but the sound just isn’t for me.
When I hear the words 'concept album' I immediately worry. Then I hear it's a two-sided 90-minute album and I know my commute is doomed. A few nice songs in here but they're just completely washed out for me
My second Marvin Gaye album but still no Beatles is suprising. Once again, very enjoyable though
It grew on me and hopefully will continue on the second listen, although not many stand out songs in my mind
Really sweet, well written songs. Also technically very good
This is such a hard album to rate. He’s undeniably talented and it’s clear he’s going to go on to big things at this time. But some of the lyrics have aged so poorly… well they can’t have been great back when this came out but they’re somehow worse now. I’m still leaning towards a 4 just due to pure talent but we don’t quite get the best of him here.
Tiny dancer is a huge song but it surprisingly backs it up pretty well. Some of his best work
Insanely good. Feels so significant, what a brilliant voice. My only criticism is that the songs are a little repetitive. But they are repetitively brilliant
My 3rd U2 album and still no sign of the Beatles… weird. Started with Sunday Bloody Sunday which I really enjoyed. I think I enjoyed this more than the last two but still not really connecting with me
So inoffensive and dull it's honestly bizarre
I was excited for this as I love this era and so much good came out of these groups. I found it didn’t connect with me though, like it was missing something. Maybe it didn’t feel “fun” enough. Not that every album needs to be fun, but I feel like this era of hip hop thrives when it is playful.
A few nice songs in here. I wasn't familiar with them but they seem to be The Beatles if they never broke into the US
Got worried when I heard “concept album” but I really enjoyed this. I feel like it would be a difficult one to explain to non-brits as there are so many references to our culture and class systems. As a Brit, I loved the “cynicalness” of it. Shanghai-la was a standout track
Started with an enjoyable song in Shout but for some reason it went on for 7 minutes. A few good songs in here
Awful club music. Hate it
What on earth was that. The last 3 minutes were bird sounds and were the most enjoyable minutes of the entire album
Death metal is not for me
This was a nice, cute little album. Didn't blow me away but very enjoyable
This was quite enjoyable and technically good but it just felt like it was missing something
Just a collection of Scandinavian screeching. Some quite nice vocals but it comes together quite weirdly
It felt a bit corny at times. Felt similar about Incubus as it sounded amazing at the time but hasn't aged that well musically. But still some good songs in here
