Listened at work so it was mostly in the background. I didn't really hear any of the lyrics but it was overall fun to listen to and had a good vibe. This was also my first rolling stone record, I don't fully understand the hype yet but I can get why people like them. Probably like a 3/5 for me, could definitely change with a few more listens.
Favourite Track: Didn't listen well enough to have one
Favourite Lyric: Didn't listen well enough to have one
i am not looking forward to this...
Yeah this was definetly not for me, id give it like a 1.5/5. i can see why other people would like it tho, he has a nice voice and good flow but i just cant get behind a some of the stuff here especially about the beating women and the sex in the interludes and stuff. i dont really like or listen to alot of rap music and this kind of reminded me why. I did think some of the songs had good storytelling tho like the one where he was robbing something and the beats were pretty good overall. I am glad i listened tho.
they’re so British holy
I think this is my first punk record…tbh idk what defines this genre
Ok so I didn’t mind it, it’s not something I would return to tho. I liked the electric guitar stuff and that was about it. The guys voice was ok it kinda got annoying after a bit and I didn’t really care for any of the lyrics like BACK IN THE GARAGE (with heavy British accent on garage)
Um overall not my thing 2/5
I think this is my first soul record
I enjoyed this! I loved all the horns and the guys voice had a nice grit to it. There were a couple songs that had arrpeggios throughout which annoys me but I would definitely listen to it again 3.5/5
I liked this one! The instrumentals were good and there was a good variety from rock songs to acoustic piano ballads. The only thing for me was the guys voice was kinda annoying but that would probably go away after a few listens. I would listen again. 3.5/5
ooh first mj record....
I liked this! I'm probably more biased because ive heard alot of these songs before and the more i hear something the more i like it usually. But yeah this was really fun to listen to, i didn't notice any ''hee hee"s tho. This was a good time and i would definitely listen again 4/5
after reading the reviews…I’m scared. I really hope there’s no sex interludes this time
After listening to the first track I like the vibe. I feel like it would be fun to sing along to if the lyrics weren’t just about sex tho.
Okayyy tbh I liked this one, I enjoyed all the electric guitar parts and one of the songs had a really pretty intro that suprised me and I really wished the song continued like that 😭. I think I would listen again but I would definitely have to be in a specific mood. Probably either a little sad or REALLY happy. 3.25/5
why is this album 2 and a half hours long :(
about halfway through and im enjoying it so far. idk if its bc im not listening close enough but their vocals kinda sound like the beatles in some songs.
actually nvm NOW im halfway through....
theres so many british rock bands in this list holy.
omg finally done...the more i listened to this album the more i didnt like it. I enjoyed it at the start but about halfway through i started to get sick of it. Also the closer i listened to it the more i didnt like it either. I feel like it doesn't really stand out from any of the other british rock stuff ive listened to. The cover of the album is pretty tho and im sure there are some songs i would like if i listened to it more but i don't want to listen to this album again and hear I CAN BE YOUR SMOOTHIE (i think thats what it was saying). If it was just like the first 12 songs i wouldve given it a 3/5 but now im giving it a 1.78/5.
after reading the reviews im excited for this one
ooh yeah my soul feels buttered after this one. I think this is my favourite so far off of this list. I loved all the strings and the grandiose feel of the album especially the 1st and 3rd tracks. The 2nd one was good but didn't stand out to me and the last track was half spoken word but it told an interesting story which i enjoyed. I also liked the fact that it was only 4 tracks but the total run time was like 45 minutes or something, which really gave each song time to develop its own unique feel.
Yeah definitely the best so far, would 100% listen again, 4.75/5
ooh ive been meaning to listen to Sufjan Stevens!! im super excited for this
this album felt magical it was incredible. I loved all the strings, horns and piano and his voice was beautiful. I can't wait to listen again and focus on the lyrics. Though the album cover is of the city, this one definitely felt like being in an open field just before sunset. I'm happy this list is finally giving me some good shit, 4.75/5
once again…so British I almost can’t understand what they’re saying.
also the first song had these like burping noises which was definitely a choice😭 and the last song saying ‘if you’re stuck like glue give me some Vaseline’ or something like that
I don’t think I would listen to it again, it’s not really my vibe kinda similar to the other British groups on this list. I was happy that we finally got a female singer tho. Maybe I would like it with more listens but I doubt it. I also think that the vocals were kinda drowned out by all the other instruments and could’ve been more upfront in the mix.
overall like 2.1/5
Ok…whoever made this list is definitely British
There are a lot of interesting electronic sounds on this album. I liked how the first track built by adding in different instruments gradually and most of the tracks are instrumentals, my favourite of which was lever street
Overall not too bad but it’s definitely not my vibe, I probably wouldn’t listen again 2.6/5
Old friends has stunning strings omg
I especially like the transitions from track to tracks
This was good! I liked the first half concept album part the best though the latter half did have some good tracks like A Hazy Shade of Winter. I only wish the whole thing was more related to the concept album, I feel like it could’ve been more fleshed out, especially since it was only 15mins of a 30 min album. But yeah I liked it and would listen again, 3.75/5
ooh this one’s Scottish apparently
Man I wish they had more strings on December, the little string parts that were there were so pretty
I really like their bass lines tho and the songs are pretty catchy.
Overall that was good, I think I’ll have to listen to it at least one more time to know if it’s something I’d want to return to. Really catchy songs though I was suprised. Overall, 3.3/5
women finally😭
Crazy coincidence that I’m getting this just after Dolly passed away (rip), but I’m very excited for this
2 seconds in and omg their voices are beautiful and mesh so well together
I loved that, all three of their voices are incredible on their own but when they sing together and harmonize it’s freaking stunning. That combined with all the guitars and fiddles made something that was right up my alley. Especially for the country music genre. I would 100% listen again 4.66/5
I didn’t mind this, I haven’t listened to a lot of funk or jazz records before but i enjoyed some parts more than others, I liked his style of singing, the horns and the groove of the songs but some of the sounds that are maybe bass or percussion? I’m not sure but there were some sounds that just don’t really sound good to me. Maybe that would change with a few more listens but I don’t think this would be something I would return to. I am glad I listened tho, 3.33/5
uhhh interesting album cover…I have been meaning to listen to the strokes tho
I really do not like how the vocals are so muted I can barely hear what he’s saying 😭
ok I really like all the electric guitars especially on the modern age, barely legal, and hard to explain. I would enjoy these songs so much more if it didn’t sound like the recorded the vocals, put it on a cd, put the cd in a barely functioning cd player and then played the cd as everyone played their instruments, recorded that and then used it as the final track
Yeah I’m conflicted on this one. On one hand I love the instrumentals of the songs and on the other the vocals bother me so much. I don’t even know if I would want to listen again, maybe I would get used to how his voice sounds after a few listens but idk everything else was great tho 2.51/5
I don’t think this is gonna be for me based off of the first track repeating ‘rise above we’re gonna rise above’ for 2 minutes
yeah this is not for me…I don’t like the guys voice and I don’t really care for the instrumentals of this one either. And on the last track it sounded like the singer was throwing up for like 30 seconds. Tbh this is the first album on this list where I really don’t see why it’s on this list at all. Maybe there’s some historical context I’m missing cause it was release in 1981 but regardless this was not something I enjoyed. 1.2/5
very British again…
Tbh this one really didn’t stand out to me. I listened to it while on a run and the whole time I wished I was listening to something that I liked lol. It wasn’t bad though but everything about it was just meh to me. I couldn’t remember a single song if you put a gun to my head. I’m beginning to think the punk genre is not for me (suprise). There were some nice bass lines though I think and the drumming was good, I would not listen again. 2.3/5
This album cover is pretty neat
Man I wish I listen to THIS on my run omg I loved this. There was a good balance of upbeat rock songs, some slower songs and even a piano ballad or two. His voice was great and paradise by the dashboard light featured a women whose voice meshed incredibly well with his. I also loved how piano forward this record was with it being featured prominently on alot of the upbeat songs and not just on the slower ones. I feel like piano is mostly used for slower songs these days which is fine but a fast, upbeat piano can be so fun and it goes well with like every instrument including electric guitars. Anyway I loved this, would definitely listen again and I hope there’s more of this guy on the list. Apparently this is like one of the best selling albums of all time and I see why, it was so fun to listen to, I had a great time. 5/5
I was due for another rap record…
This one was kinda boring tbh, it really just sounded like the guy was talking the whole time, I didn’t really care for his flow. The beats were fine but not really my style and his lyrics were pretty meh, just a lot of I’m the best, my rhymes are so good, I’m so smart. Tbh even with the sex interludes I liked the other rap record Ive listened to so far better bc at least that was interesting. I would not listen again, 1.25/5
Man 2 rap albums in a row?? Dude
Oh this wasn’t really rap at all. For some reason it wasn’t available on yt music so I had to go on yt to find. I liked it though, it was fun! I will say the beats did get a bit repetitive but the members of the group brought a really nice energy and it was just generally fun to listen to. Idk if I would listen to it again purely bc it’s not on yt music. Probably a 3.1/5
I think this is the first metal one…my eardrums aren’t ready.
Ok so um first song in he says the N word and he’s not black so this automatically gets 0/5. But I can’t give it that so it gets a 1. I actually can’t believe this album is on the list I didn’t mind the music that I heard but still.
This is the first album to have an average rating of over 4 so I’m pretty excited for this
Ok so this is Rolling Stones #1 metal album of all time? I’m not a metal person so maybe I don’t get it but I don’t why this is like the best. I liked some of the guitar licks and the guys voice wasn’t too annoying so it definitely wasn’t bad but I really don’t think this is for me. I’d say it was fine, I’m suprised it was at the top of any list but maybe I would like it with more listens….though I probably won’t listen to this again. 2.4/5
Bruh another album that’s not available on yt music😭
FRIED ICE CREAM IS A REALITY
Whoever sang into you has such a nice deep voice I love it.
That was good, I enjoyed it! The guitar solos were nice and I liked the vocals and grooves. I wish this was on streaming so that I could’ve added stuff to my playlist but bc I have to go out of my way to listen to it I probably won’t return to it. There were a couple boring tracks that I think it could do without especially cause it was almost an hour. Overall 3.34/5
BRO ANOTHER ONE THATS NOT ON STREAMING UGH
It’s a real shame it’s not on streaming cause I’m really liking it so far especially primrose hill.
I enjoyed this! I loved all the instrumentals, the horns, strings and energetic pianos. My only qualm really was the singer’s monotonous voice. It felt like there was very little emotion behind it and it kind of stayed in the same tone throughout the entire record. Other than that I would listen again, though bc it’s not on streaming I would have to go out of my way to do it which will probably deter me. 4.16/5
KATE BUSH LETS GO!!!
Oh I can’t wait to listen to this one, Tasnia thinks I’ll like it a lot. And she’s so pretty to god this list needs more women PLEASE
Waking the witch is so crazy I love it omg
I was not expecting an Irish jig in this album but I’m so glad it’s here. More albums should have random Irish jigs.
That was great, I loved it. Her voice is so stunning and I loved all the ad libs she added, it genuinely sounded like she was having so much fun in the studio. There were also quite alot of different genres here which made each song refreshing to listen to although they are all like undeniably her. My only complaint was that some songs have very repetitive instrumental loops that go on throughout the whole song which could annoy me on future listens. Other than that, would 100% listen again, 4.45/5
very very very British as seems to be the norm for this list
I didn’t mind this one, there were a couple of songs that I really enjoyed like the last track but most I was eh on. The instrumentals were pretty good but the singers voice annoyed me at some points. I do genuinely think that this would grow on me with a couple listens, so I would listen again. 3.27/5
This was pretty good!! I liked the instrumentals and his voice had a good quality but could be a little monotone at times. The lyrics were pretty sad I think which is perfect for me. I could see myself liking this more with more listens as well I think bc I’m pretty tired rn and I don’t think I fully absorbed it. Like a 3.72/5
this was something lol, very high school. I didn’t mind it tho, I was worried when I saw punk rock but tbh this just sounded like rock music to my unrefined ears. I didn’t mind this tho, the lyrics were a bit juvenile but I enjoyed the instrumentals and I liked the guys voice. It sounded like they had a great time making this record. I think I would listen one more time but I don’t think I would get much out of it. 2.93/5
First Radiohead album on this list…I wonder how I’m gonna feel about it cause Radiohead songs usually have to grow on me quite a bit before i actually like them.
There’s quite a blend of electronic and real instruments on this one, you can see how kid an influence them lol. Another thing I think this list is making me realize how much I prefer how real instruments sound compared to electronic sounds (excluding electric guitar ofc). I really enjoyed all the strings they added, especially on the back half of songs, my favourite of which is def reckoner, probably will be my fav song on the record. There were also some lo-fi (I think) sounding tracks on here like house of cards which I was suprised by as I don’t think the Radiohead stuff I’ve listened to showed that side of them.
Once again though I can’t understand a word thom yorks is saying which tbh I think really prevents songs from connecting with me on an emotional level.
The drums in videotape remind me a bit of the drums in snow globes though very much toned down.
Overall though I enjoyed listening to this! I liked pretty much every song and I can see why this is seen as one of their best albums. I do think a lot of the songs will grow on me as well. Probably a 4.01/5
very much music I could see playing in a very fancy hotel lobby.
Tbh I was kind of suprised that I didn’t like this more, she has a lovely voice but I don’t think this style of jazz is really for me ig. I still think it was pretty good though, just not something I would return to unless I was really drunk and feeling super good about myself, other than that I don’t think I would listen again. Pretty good, but not for me unless a second listen really changes how I feel. 3.000001/5
This album cover is so prettyyyy
I really enjoyed this!! I loved how magical some of the songs sounded with tbh what sounded like wind chimes to me and though she didn’t really raise her voice that much throughout the album, the few times she did gave me chills. I also loved the strings and harps especially the strings on the last song. There were a couple weird elements that I wasn’t sure about like some of the clanking sounds I wasn’t really fond of but that could change with another listen which I will definitely be doing. 4.3/5
holy shit 3 women in a row this is unprecedented
This was so fun! I definitely wish I listened to it on a run or something instead of while doing work, I feel like this would really boost my mood otherwise lol. I really liked all the synths and twinkling kind of sounds that 80s pop music has. Overall I think I would definitely listen again, this is a pretty great feel good record that I think would go hard while getting ready for going out (which I don’t do but anyway). A 3.877/5
bro the first song just started with screaming I’m scared
This was ok…I don’t really think it’s for me really. I didn’t mind the singer and some of the guitar licks but like it was pretty crass and just overall not my thing. It was interesting to listen to though, but I don’t think I would listen to it again. 2.013/5
this artwork is really cool
This was right up my alley, very folksy and guitar focused with a hint of strings here and there. I very much enjoyed it and I think I would like it even more with further listens. I also really liked the one with the female voice singing with him, i probably would’ve liked the whole album more if she sang it but his voice wasn’t too bad regardless. There were a couple tracks in the middle that had very repetitive parts that I didn’t really like and I think could be removed like this bead is for Siobhan which repeats ‘/ good time, a good time and real good time’ over and over which got annoying. but other than that really enjoyed this one 3.76/5
I liked this! It was pretty fun to listen to and the electric guitar solos were great. All of the songs were pretty feel good and catchy. I feel like I would have to listen to it at least one more time to know if it’s something I would want to return to especially bc it was mostly background music for doing my prelab :(. 3.4556/5
This would go really hard at the cottage
I really liked this one!! There were some pretty catchy songs and some even had strings in the background. I’m really excited to listen to this again but more closely since I was listening to it while doing work. I think the rating I’m going to give is based on how much I will like it when I listen again so it’s getting a 4.65/5 assuming I know myself.
I’m loving the instrumentation that’s been used so far, it reminds me of sumeru desert a bit lol, specifically what he’s doing with the woodwinds
I really enjoyed this!! I like the weirdness and space/alien vibes to some of the tracks. I especially liked the last track which I think brought in a few elements of the first track which was cool. I will definitely be listening again and I’m excited for the other David Bowie albums on this list. 4.44566/5
This was alright, the guy had a very nice voice and some good melodies that were pretty catchy like higher the last track. But idk some of the songs just felt very sparse to me instrument wise and like they didn’t really go anywhere. This was a good listen though, most of the songs were very pleasant just not really something I’d return to I think. 2.8766/5
Bridge over troubled water is an incredible song holy shit
3 songs in and I already like this better than bookends by a lot and I really liked bookends!
Yeah this was really great the string arrangements were great and I loved some of the really loud percussion and horns (I think) on some tracks. I will definitely listen again 4.4899/5
Okay tbh I’m not really giving this a fair listen I don’t think bc I am REALLY having the urge to listen to nausica (love will be revealed). I do think it’s a really interesting an fun album though and even a bit politically charged at times. I will also say the guitar melodies are super good.
This was decent for me I’d say, there were some songs I liked and some that annoyed me a bit like in the last one where the singers voice is really tinny and then there’s like bells or something (idk what but it’s like a ding ding sound😭) that like does not go well with what she’s doing with her voice at all to me. Tbh not really something I’d return to, 2.7889/5
omg this is the first albums I’ve actually listened to before on this list!!
High and dry is still one of the best songs to ever exist. As soon as I hear those opening chords I feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders.
Yeah still a really great album. All of the songs have incredible guitar work, though again only high and dry and fake plastic trees really resonate with me although the rest still are fun to listen to. 4.21/5
my first Springsteen record!! I’m excited for this.
I liked this I would say! I can definitely see how this is a very nostalgic record for some people. His voice does get a little grating at times but other than that these songs all feel like they would be great to listen to while driving down a country road at night in summertime. I think I would give this one more listen but other than that I think I would only return to the 3-4 songs that I saved. Solid 3.778/5
There were some very pretty strings and piano on unfinished symphony but unfortunately the rest electronic elements didn’t really do it for me :(
Okay that wasn’t too bad. Tbh I really wish some of the electric stuff wasn’t there bc I feel like a lot of the songs would be better without it. I did like the lead singers and I thought they both had good flow and chemistry but tbh this was just not for me. 2.45776/5
Listened to this one while playing Zelda lol
It was alright tbh I liked the singers voice and the instrumentals were nice but nothing really stuck out to me even after listening to it twice all be it I wasn’t paying that much attention when I was listening. I might give it one more go to see if it’s something that will stick with me but idk probably a 2.9778/5
