My first album for the list... This was also my first exposure to The Rolling Stones as a whole. I think this is a fantastic way to start it! 01. Brown Sugar An incredible song with lyrics that somehow age like fine wine. It's not only a commentary of the past & present, but also of the future. 02. Sway A really beautiful song, with a gorgeous chorus. Really love it. I really enjoyed the simpler sound. 03. Wild Horses My personal favorite from the album. Really beautiful instrumentation, paired with some really pretty vocals; especially on the chorus. 04. Can't You Hear Me Knocking A fuckin' banger. Simple as that. That chorus is so sick. 05. You Gotta Move Personally not my kind of vibe. I have a friend who loves this song, but I just don't care really anything about it. Personal least favorite. 06. Bitch Was a fine one. Really enjoyed the chorus, but the verses themselves I wasn't impressed with too much. Still, I enjoyed it. 07. I Got The Blues A fine blues track. Didn't blow me away. I did enjoy the verses quite a lot, but the instrumentation and chorus are very lackluster. 08. Sister Morphine This is kick-ass. Really sick verses, with a badass chorus. It does feel like it's run-time, and to me personally, that's a negative. 09. Dead Flowers That second verse is my favorite verse off the whole album, second to none. That chorus is infectious, and is an incredible song. Second favorite. 10. Moonlight Mile A fantastic way to cap off the album, but I don't know how to feel about it on its own. Still a great song, but only for the album experience of it. This is a great album. It's not my favorite rock album, hell not even my favorite 70's album. But as an introduction to The Rolling Stones, I do want more.

Okay. ABBA. I grew up in an ABBA hating household. No one in my family likes ABBA. Me on the other hand... Eh, I thought it was alright. 01. When I Kissed The Teacher I fucking hate songs like this. Really creepy, and I never understood the trend in the 70's of this kind of lyrics. 02. Dancing Queen Come on; it's Dancing Queen. Everyone loves this song. Timeless song. 03. My Love, My Life A really big banger! I really enjoyed this track! 04. Dum Dum Diddle Really fun, can't be mad at it. One of my personal favorites. 05. Knowing Me, Knowing You Was really nice, if anything forgettable. 06. Money, Money, Money A really unique track! Nothing else here sounds like this, and I really appreciate it for so! 07. That's Me I just heard it this and forgot about it. It's not bad, just forgettable. 08. Why Did It Have To Be Me? Really nice to hear a different vocalist. A cool track, but not one of my favorites. 09. Tiger My personal least favorite. The vocalists just aren't threatening, so it comes off really corny. 10. Arrival A cool instrumental track to finish it off, if a little too dramatic for my liking. I get that this album (and ABBA as a whole) is more of a band to just have fun with. I can get behind that kind of stuff, but this just wasn't my cup of tea. Sorry!
I say this when I mean it. This is one of the most beautiful albums I've ever heard. 01. Intro It sets the mood. It doesn't do anything really, but is really nice. 02. Svefn-g-englar Anyone who has heard this album knows how beautiful this song is. Beautiful lyrics, and some absolutely incredible production. It fills its 10 minute run-time to great benefit. 03. Starálfur Another gorgeous track. I have NO idea what the lyrics are talking about, but the song is so beautiful that I low-key don't care. 04. Flugufrelsarinn It took a few listens to understand this one; but when I did the song actually made me cry. Compliments the production immensely. 05. Ný Batterí The blow up of the production in the second half literally left my mouth open! Also some incredible lyrics, per usual. 06. Hjartað Hamast (Bamm Bamm Bamm) This track is qutie eerie to me; in a good way! The first half gave me chills. 07. Viðrar Vel Til Loftárása Unsetting throughout. The title alone is spooky, but pairing that with the music goes to another level. 08. Olsen Olsen Personal least favorite, but is still great! I really despise when people use faux-lyrics (such as this or Cocteau Twins), but the vocals are so in the background for this that I didn't mind it too much. 09. Ágætis Byrjun The title track, and my personal favorite from the album. Such a lush song, with some tear-jerking and beautiful lyrics. 10. Avalon A nice instrumental to cap off this ride of an album. Take a shot each time I wrote beautiful or a synonym of it.
A really sweet album... in a sense. I love the sound in general! 01. Tears Of Rage A strangely sad song to start off the album, which I love! It's not my favorite by any means, but I adore these lyrics. 02. To Kingdom Come My least favorite. It just doesn't fit the vibe of the rest of the album at all. Also weakest lyrics of the bunch as well. 03. In A Station Has some great vocal deliveries. A great instrumental too. 04. Caledonia Mission A really forgettable one, even if it sounds great. 05. The Weight An absolute BANGER. I can feel later influences even today from this song! 06. We Can Talk My personal favorite. That hook is PHENOMENAL, and the verses are fun! 07. Long Black Veil A very sad sounding song, but the actual lyrics are just alright. 08. Chest Fever A really funky one, surprisingly! And I love it too! 09. Lonesome Suzie My favorite lyrics of the album, and in my opinion one of the best. 10. This Wheel's On Fire Mostly just an alright one. It's definitely still a great song, just not my cup of tea per say. 11. I Shall Be Released I like it enough. Cool closer. The album ends off a bit meh, but tracks 4 to 9 are absolutely incredible! If the beginning and end were more memorable, I would definitely give this a five.
A very sexy album; and I don't use that word lightly. 01. That Lady A killer opener. One of the best too! An absolute must hear for anyone reading this. 02. Don't Let Me Be Lonely Tonight It's softer, and could be to it's detriment. I still love the song, just not one of my favorites. 03. If You Were There Meh. Kinda of boring to me, honestly. 04. You Walk Your Way I see the appeal, just not for me. 05. Listen To The Music Okay, I got scared for a second because the songs were slowly getting weaker and weaker. Thank GOD this showed up, because this is awesome! One of the best here, and one of the catchiest. 06. What It Comes Down To The sexiest of the songs, no competition. 07. Sunshine (Go Away Today) A weirdly sad song. I don't care it's a cover, this is still awesome 08. Summer Breeze My personal favorite here. Everything about this song is spectacular! The vocals, the chorus, the instrumentation, everything!! 09. The Highways Of My Life Of course we had to end on a sadder song. I absolutely love these lyrics, and that instrumentation is bang-on. I wish this was longer. If it had a few more songs and the middle portion was stronger, this would be a five!
This is a rare case of actually thinking this belongs on the list... without me caring for it too much. 01. Happiness Is Easy Goes on a bit too long. If it ended about 2 minutes earlier, I would've liked it more. 02. I Don't Believe In You Really love the chorus! I think this is an excellent song. Even if it's not my favorite. 03. Life's What You Make It It doesn't get more 80's than this. It's like this was made for the 80's, and no other time pediod. 04. April 5th I really love the chilling are eerie vocal delivery on this one! Could have done without the last minute, but that's alright. 05. Living In Another World Finally, a more up-tempo song! I enjoy this a lot, and don't mind the long run-time! 06. Give It Up Really forgettable. Wasn't bad, just didn't do anything for me. 07. Chameleon Day My favorite. It's just so haunting and eerie. Haven't heard another song like this in a while. 08. Time It's Time Is a fine closer. Didn't really do it for me as a song, however. I don't care for the lead vocalist at all here. I think a lot of the performances had TOO much effort put in, making it sound silly sometimes. Exceptions being April 5th and Chameleon Day. Overall, it's fine.
Okay, I might be a little bit of a slut for electronic music. 01. Forever Reminds me a lot of Aphex Twin, who I love! Not a second is wasted! 02. I Wish I Had Duck Feet A really weird bass line. Weird sounds throughout the entirety of it, mattery of fact. And in a rare case, not to the songs benefit. 03. Sad But True Really fuckin' cool!!!! Especially the second half. It's like an electronic metal song!!! 04. Crash And Carry Only complaint is that it's not long enough! This goes really hard, then just ends. Wish it had another minute or two. 05. Science Friction I didn't care for this one at first, but it really grew on me! The second half is insane! 06. Philosophy By Numbers I honestly didn't care for this one for most of its run-time. But the last two minutes absolutely stole the show. Was really cool. 07. Kein Trink Wasser It's not necessarily a bad song, but just really boring this far in on the album. 08. Quality Seconds HOLY. FUCK. For just a minute and a half, you can get an absolutely INCREDIBLE track! MUST listen. 09. Are We Here? Runs its length perfectly. No complains. The drums are awesome, the synth is awesome, and the vocals half-way through are heavenly. Love it all. My favorite. 10. Attached Kind of went out on a weak fart. Is my least favorite. Not bad, but SUPER underwhelming. Especially after 'Are We Here?'. I really want to give this five stars, I do. But there are a few duds that leave me wanting more. Is this a perfect album? Hell no, not even close. But if doesn't want to make you dance, you have bigger fish to fry.
Hey! This is the first album I've generated that I've actually heard before doing this list! 01. Five Years A superbly beautiful song. Holds up incredibly 02. Soul Love Not as much as into this as the opener, but still a killer song in its own right! The chorus is *chef's kiss*. 03. Moonage Daydream Took a while for me to get into this one, but this is great! The instrumentation is spectacular, and the vocals are sick! 04. Starman Legendary in every sense of the word. 05. It Ain't Easy No one made anything like this in the 70's. Back then, nothing sounded like this. 06. Lady Stardust As a man who wears make-up a lot, I fuck wit' this. Really great message, and finally an introduction to our main character truly. 07. Star The weakest so far, but is still fantastic! You know it's good when one of the weakest tracks is incredible still. 08. Hang On To Yourself Personal least favorite. Is still good, just was never a fan of the faux-verses. 09. Ziggy Stardust Once again, legendary. Absolutely killer song. I still prefer Starman, but this is phenomenal. 10. Suffragette City I wouldn't be adding anything. Everyone knows how incredible this song is. I won't waste my breath. 11. Rock 'N' Roll Suicide Like, come on. It's Rock 'N' Roll Suicide. I have no words. Do I even need to explain why this album is so legendary? No. So I won't.
This is my first time hearing Elvis... ever. I come into it with a bit of bias, as I didn't like him as a person. But we'll see how he actually is. 01. Make Me Know It Just a fun lil' song. I have a feeling that's gonna be this whole album. 02. Fever I honestly really love this. It's very Sinatra-esque, and I like this softer track! 03. The Girl Of My Best Friend This is on the radio of the BBQ restaurant I work at. I'm sick of it. 04. I Will Be Home Again I really appreciate the acoustic guitar of this track, love it a lot. Song itself is fine. 05. Dirty, Dirty Feeling Love how fast-paced and exciting this is! The lyrics are disgusting though. 06. Thrill Of Your Love Real generic, even for the time. Don't care for this one. 07. Soldier Boy It's just Trill Of Your Love, but it now has a soldier! I get that he was in the military, and so this song probably has some deeper meaning behind it, but honestly I just didn't care. You have to make me care, Elvis. 08. Such A Night Was just kind of alright... THEN THE CHORUS HIT. Is really fun, even if the actual writing is super lazy. 09. It Feels So Right By far my favorite instrumentation so far. Probably my favorite vocal performance too! 10. The Girl Next Door Went A'Walking Fairly basic, but undoubtably catchy as a motherfucker. 11. Like A Baby Love the sleazy sounding saxaphone, and is fun to see the comparison between love and babies. Otherwise, is just okay. 12. Reconsider, Baby If you told me this had the same backing instrumentation as Like A Baby, I would almost believe you. I'm not sure what I WAS expecting, but I was still disappointed. I don't personally think he's a great singer, so I have no clue how he blew up the way he did. Of course, I'm an 08' baby, so it was a bit of a time gap between then and now. But personally, I was underwhelmed.
I've been wanting to listen to Incubus for a little while now, more specifically their S.C.I.E.N.C.E. album. I never got around to it, and this is now my first introduction to the band! 01. Privilege A fine intro. Doesn't blow me away, but I enjoyed it. I really like the lyrics. 02. Nowhere Fast I really love the instrumentation on this, but I really dislike the vocals! Especially on the chorus. I really wanna like this too... 03. Consequence My favorite so far, but it's still just kind of fine. I gave it a heart, and has the best vocal performance so far. 04. The Warmth You know I just don't think I care for the vocalist of Incubus. Despite this, I really liked this one. Not mind blowing, but is still good. 05. When It Comes This song made me realize why I don't care for the vocalist. It sounds like a rip-off Brad Nowell. Anyways, song is pretty good! Great instrumentation, and the vocals are better on this than any other track so far! Lyrics are boring, though. 06. Stellar There's a reason this is one of the most famous, huh? This is great! 07. Make Yourself This is actually awesome! Weird for this to be the title track, but I'm not complaining. 08. Drive I had an "Oh, it's THIS song!". This is great, no complaints. Best off the album. 09. Clean This is a rare instance of having to get used to the vocalists voice. I know don't nearly mind it as much. Or perhaps these are just better songs. Either way, this shit slaps. 10. Battlestar Scralatchica Cool nu-metal instrumental. Very bassy. Fuck wit' it. 11. I Miss You Very sentimental track. I feel like he means the words, which is the best you can do as an artist! 12. Pardon Me Another "Oh, it's THAT song!". Although I don't care for it as much as Drive, I still REALLY like this! 13. Out From Under A real wet fart of an ending. Least favorite from the album by a mile. I get the lyrics, but just a weird sounding song. Now, I go off of these on a one-listen basis. I usually listen to albums on three listens, but for this challenge, I only do one (because I have a job). On multiple listens, I can see myself enjoying this MUCH more, especially the beginning. But for now, it starts and ends with the weakest songs. The run from When It Comes to Pardon Me is INCREDIBLE, but the rest I could take or leave. On peer review, (and a relisten with my friends) I do enjoy this a LOT more. I still think a lot of the lyrics are corny, but they could be worse. A two star went to four.
First time listening to Neil Young. As I went through the list, I noticed he has a LOT of albums here. I think about seven. So I hope I like this, or this is gonna be rough. 01. My My, Hey Hey (Out Of The Blue) Really enjoyed. Not much to say about it, was good. 02. Thrasher Honestly really boring. Wasn't impressive. I didn't dislike it, it just left me bored. 03. Ride My Llama Favorite so far. This is definitely going to be a slower album, and I'm fine with that. Just a weird song. 04. Pocahontas I didn't care for the lyrics, but the best instrumentation so far. Still just sort of alright. 05. Sail Away Was fine. Inoffensive. 06. Powderfinger Took a while for me to be into it, but I eventually came around. Still don't love it, but I appreciate it. 07. Welfare Mothers I can't tell if this is suppose to be bashing or uplifting mothers on welfare. I like the instrumentation, but the lyrics are really wack to me. 08. Sedan Delivery There's enough slow here, just keep it fast paced the whole time! I didn't mind this, actually quite liked it. Just found it a bit boring. 09. Hey Hey, My My (Into The Black) A better version of the opener. Overall, I preferred the first half, a lot more. Although it was close, as I didn't much care for this. Like it was fine, but stuff before this is much better than this, in my opinion.
I've never heard The White Stripes before, the most is when I saw a CD of Elephant at Walmart. I hope I love this, because I've always wanted to get into them. 01. Blue Orchid Really creative, and cool song! Love that guitar work! The cymbals throughout are also real cool! 02. The Nurse So bizarre. The vocal performance, the off-tempo drum beats, the marimba, all of it! I honestly kind of like how weird it is. 03. My Doorbell On the hook, I had to make sure my headphones were plugged in properly. Not the biggest fan of this one, but I do like it. 04. Forever For Her (Is Over For Me) I've heard this somewhere... Anyways, this is pretty good. Not outrageous, but pretty good! 05. Little Ghost Reminds me of Learnin' To Love by Ween. If you like this (like I do) check out that song! 06. The Denial Twist My favorite so far! I really loved everything about this song, and I think this is the best on all fronts so far! 07. White Moon Very strange, once again. I'm not sure if I hate or love this, so this is very middle of the road for me. 08. Instinct Blues A damn good... well, blues song. Favorite vocal work so far! 09. Passive Manipulation Short, simple, to the point. 10. Take, Take, Take A really simple story that sounds way cooler because of the song. I love this! 11. As Ugly As I Seem Just kind of fine. I like that it's drumless. 12. Red Rain That guitar RIIPPPPSSSSS. The vocals are great too! I don't care for the actual lyrics though, so it can only get to high. 13. I'm Lonely (But I Ain't That Lonely Yet) Very pretty piano, and the lyrics are great. Great closer. A very unique album! I loved (nearly) every track here! I'm still only giving it three stars though, as it didn't blow me away or want me wanting me afterwards like other four stars. Still, this was fun.
I'm never heard Tim Buckley OR Jeff Buckley. From what I've seen however, is that this is Tim's lowest rated album on here. I'm scared that it will leave a bit of a bad taste for the other Tim Buckley albums, but here's to the best. 01. Move With Me Way more jazzy than I was expecting! I really like this opener! Funny third verse lol. 02. Get On Top Second best song about eating pussy, right behind I Will by Danny Brown. This one goes on a bit way too long. 03. Sweet Surrender The best singing so far. I love the chorus a lot. 04. Nighthawkin' A very... interesting song. It sounds great, but the lyrics are pretty awful. 05. Devil Eyes Not as good of a song about having wet sex. It's still fine, but we already have Get On Top. 06. Hong Hong Bar It feels unfinished. I get what he was going for, it just misses the mark for me, sorry. Goes on WAY too long, especially for how rough it sounds. 07. Make It Right A fine ending. Really kinky. :3 A very horny album; and that's to its detriment. It's TOO horny. Basically every song is about sex. And it gets really repetitive near the end.
OH WOW I DIDN'T EXPECT TO GET SUCH A GREAT ALBUM SO SOON!!! This is an album I've thought was perfect for a LONG time! 01. Be (Intro) It's legendary for a reason. Beautiful instrumental, with an absolutely killer flow!! 02. The Corner (feat. The Last Poets) I never cared for the chorus too much, but those verses are flawless. 03. GO! Despite not sounding it, this is one of the sexiest songs ever made. 04. Faithful Just beautiful. Incredible lyrics, luscious beat. 05. Testify Extremely unique song! It's incredible, one of my favorites. 06. Love Is... So soothing. Everything about this song is simply perfect. 07. Chi-City If the chorus was better this would be another flawless track. Fortunately, these verses are nuts. 08. The Food (Live) Better than the studio version lol. 09. Real People Has unfortunately always been my least favorite. It's still great, but doesn't even begin to compare to the rest of the album. 10. They Say (feat John Legend, Kanye West) Couldn't be smoother. 11. It's Your World (Part 1 & 2) Perfect in every way. The second half makes me cry. I love you, Common. :') If you couldn't infer, I personally find this album perfect. No question.
I've heard The Cardigans name is passing, but I don't think I've actually heard the music before. 01. Your New Cuckoo A really great opener! Addicting pop rock, with a great vocalist and some great instrumentation. 02. Been It I really love these verses! The chorus is a little strange, but I forgive it for the catchiness. 03. Heartbreaker My favorite song far! This is strangely beautiful, and yet so eerie. 04. Happy Meal II Least favorite so far, but still real good! Just kind of samey to me. 05. Never Recover A very jazzy feel, and I love it! Favorite verses so far! 06. Step On Me God damn... This shit made me cry lol. 07. Lovefool So fucking classic. Plus, it's great! Who can deny this? 08. Losers That chorus left me agape in more ways than one. 09. Iron Man One of the most interesting covers I've ever heard. It's not better than the original, but it's still damn good. 10. Great Divide One of the weaker tracks... and it's still absolutely incredible. 11. Choke Awesome lyrics, immaculate instrumentation. This is a wonderful first impression!! This does something no other album has done yet; made me wanna hear more of them!! This is badass!!!
Oh wow! I've gotten a lot I've already heard already, this being the 4th one! I love this album, and out of the Metallica I've heard already this is my favorite. 01. Blackened A fuckin' incredible opener!!! Although not my favorite track off the album, this is beautiful!!!! 02. ...And Justice For All Has always been my favorite! One of my favorite title tracks, and a masterclass in metal. 03. Eye Of The Beholder Not my favorite, but still kick-ass. Everything about this is awesome... except for the pre-chorus. I think that sounds really awkward. 04. One Such a beautiful song. This is a classic for a reason. Even though it's not my personal favorite from the album, it's no doubt a classic song. 05. The Shortest Straw Not a bad song, but just a bit boring compared to the others. 06. Harvester Of Sorrow Another one of the weaker songs. Has always been my least favorite. Just uninteresting compared to the others. 07. The Frayed Ends Of Sanity A really underrated one! I love this song a lot! That chorus is infectious! 08. To Live Is To Die An incredible instrumental piece. It doesn't waste a second. 09. Dyers Eve An incredible closer! The shortest track, but it end-caps in a great way. Couldn't pick a better closer. Now I've sung my praises for this album the entire time, so why is it not five stars? Because of that middle portion. It's the usual length, but due to how boring I found the middle portion it feels like it drags on for SOOO long. It's like a 4.9.
I've never even heard of Astrud Gilberto. Honestly I despise this cover art, she doesn't look real. 01. Stay Very nice and smooth. 02. Misty Roses Was fine. Not really my kind of jam. 03. The Face I Love This is more like it! This is really pretty, and my favorite lyrics so far! 04. A Banda (Parade) Feels too childish for me. Like it's explaining what a parade is. 05. Oba, Oba Meh. I didn't feel a thing whilst listening. 06. Canoeiro Boring. 07. I Had The Craziest Dream Fun lyrics, but also boring to me. Not bad, just meh. 08. Beach Samba (Bossa Na Praia) Cute little instrumental. This album so far is feeling very samey. 09. My Foolish Heart I really like this song, but I don't know why. It's not very different from the rest of the album, so I'm not sure why I enjoy it more than most. 10. Dia Das Rosas (I Think Of You) A fairly romantic song. Is one of my favorites so far. 11. You Didn't Have To Be So Nice Cute. That's it. I don't get why there's a little kid. 12. Não Bate O Coração Another boring one. Astrud is a good singer, that's no doubt. But this album is so incredibly one note and boring to me. I like faster jazz, I guess.
I've previously heard Deep Purple's album Machine Head; and I loved it! I hope I love this one just as much! 01. Speed King The vocals are mixed really terribly on this track. Which is a shame, because this sounds sick! 02. Bloodsucker Appreciate the casual racism. Not as good as the first track, just sort of found it alright. 03. Child In Time Now we're picking it up! This is not only badass, but has the best lyrics so far as well! 04. Flight Of The Rat A weirdly funny track, lol. Badass instrumental work, too! Great front to back! 05. Into The Fire Absolutely disgusting guitar work!! Favorite instrumentation so far!! 06. Living Wreck A real boring one. Doesn't feel inspired or unique in the slightest. 07. Hard Lovin' Man Works as a closer. Doesn't do much for me, but I enjoyed it well enough. This is definitely not as good as Machine Head, in my opinion. There are some great tracks on here, but as an overall package I just find it alright.
I've never even heard of Thin Lizzy before, so starting their discography with a live album will be something else, lol. This is also the first live album I've covered on the list so far! 01. Jailbreak A fun little opener to this. Aged weirdly well. It sounds pretty good. 02. Emerald Absolutely badass, with some kick-ass lyrics. I hope the rest of the songs are like this!! 03. Southbound A nice, slower song after Emerald. Still sounds really nice, especially the chorus. 04. Rosalie / Cowgirl's Song Just a real fun one! 05. Dancing In The Moonlight (It's Caught Me In Its Spotlight) Not as strong as the first four, but is still real good. 06. Massacre Real kick-ass and super underrated!! The hardest song so far!! 07. Still In Love With You My least favorite so far, but is still great! Just didn't grab my attention like the other tracks have. 08. Johnny The Fox Meets Jimmy The Weed Just couldn't get into it. Didn't do anything for me. 09. Cowboy Song I can see the appeal, but I just don't really care It picks up in the second half, though. I hope it doesn't continue this trend and it just blew all of its load in the first six! 10. The Boys Are Back In Town Like, come on. This is a certified #HoodClassic. Incredible track. 11. Don't Believe A Word Just a fun one, lol. 12. Warrior A really forgettable one. Super basic, and not interesting. 13. Are You Ready Real boring. Not much to say, feels uninspired. Really lazy writing. 14. Suicide A weirdly dark song to come out of nowhere. But hey, I'm not complaining. This is a good one. 15. Sha-La-La Cool little song. Was fun. 16. Baby Drives Me Crazy The intro and band introduction was fun, the rest I could take or leave. Goes on way too long 17. The Rocker Is a nice time capsule of what was "cool". Nowadays this is such a lame song, but this shit would have been awesome at the time. There are some absolute gems on here, no doubt about it. The first six tracks were all the best ones, however. After that, very little impressed me, sorry.
This is the first hip-hop album I've gotten that I HAVEN'T heard before! This cover is really beautiful, so I've had my eye on this one for a while, and needless to say I'm excited. 01. Nights Introlude Chill intro...lude. Is a nice way to get us in the mood for what we're (presumably) about to listen to. 02. Dreddoverboard Real smooth, especially those sampled vocals. I feel like I won't be able to say a lot for a lot of these songs... lol. 03. Pipes Honour If I smoked at all, this would be the best song ever created by man. This is fantastic, not a second wasted. 04. Me And You Too short for its own good. Segues nice into Stars. 05. Stars Not as good as the first three in my opinion, just still super laid back and chill. 06. Wait A Minute / Praying For A Jeepbeat Wait A Minute is nice, quick, and ends right when it needs to. Praying For A Jeepbeat is much more upbeat, and I am a sucker for bongos. 07. Groove St. Real simplistic, and weirdly spooky. Besides the bass, didn't care for it much. 08. Time (To Listen) The jumpscare was fun. 09. (Man) Tha Journey This is more like it! Nice and upbeat, especially the drums. 10. Bless My Soul One of my favorites. I like pretty much everything about this one! Not as good as Pipes Honour, but this is a close second for now. 11. Cruise (Don't Stop) Alright, this is my favorite. Very rappable. Very smooth. 12. Mission Venice Went by really fast. At least it did the spacey thing I really liked on Cruise. 13. What I'm Feelin (Good) Was interesting, but doesn't last long enough to make an impact. 14. Rise A fine song, doesn't do much for me. 15. Rise (Reprise) Like, what's the point? It's not very different from the original, so I don't know why it's even here. 16. Gambia Via Vagatorbeach Okay I DID say I like bongos, but not when it's basically the only instrument. What a weirdly starchy fart to go out on. This was cool. A few songs really blew me away, but overall I thought it was just alright.
I've seen this album cover before, but I know nothing about Air or the music. I'm hoping for good things. 01. La Femme D'argent Nice and smooth. Real catchy, which is impressive for an instrumental. 02. Sexy Boy I really love those haunting vocals. And that instrumental is kick-ass!! 03. All I Need A nice, much more downtempo one. Really pretty. 04. Kelly Watch The Stars Not as impressive as the first three, but still an absolute banger. Love it. 05. Talisman Was still great, but didn't really pick up until the last minute for me. 06. Remember TOO short. :( 07. You Make It Easy So beautifully relaxing. Legit calmed me down, and like I was already calmed down like wtf how'd they do dat. 08. Ce Matin-Là Once again, just really pretty! This the kind of music that just makes you happy. 09. New Star In The Sky This shit pretty. Those strings along with that acoustic guitar is magical. 10. Le Voyage De Pénélope A real slow-burn to end it off with. When that electric guitar came in I made a nasty ass stank face. Do I think this is a perfect album? No. But I'm giving it five stars because this is beautiful. This is my favorite album I've heard so far that I have barely known anything about. Ágætis Byrjun I had at least heard about for being incredible; where as this I've heard nothing! This is a beautiful piece of art everyone should hear.
This one has always intrigued me. I like the title, I like the band name, and I like the cover. But this has like, NO good reviews. I'm interested. 01. La Fille De La Mort Absolutely batshit insane way to start off an album. A great ballad, with some wicked sampling. I fucked with it. 02. Rue Des Tempêtes I really fucked with this one. Was fun. The guitar is so uniquely not fitting with the song. 03. L'eau Rouge This sampling feels so ahead of its time! I've never heard a song like this, let alone from its time! 04. Charlotte Feels like a Mr. Bungle song (I love Mr. Bungle). 05. Longue Route This made me realize that the lead singer doesn't do on good on harder, more rock like instrumentation. 06. Crier Les Chiens Absolutely crazy chorus, that instrumentation is crazy! Great vocal performance too! 07. Ville Nôtre Feels like a weaker version of Crier Les Chiens in every way. Least favorite so far. 08. Les Enfants It really interesting. Not my favorite, but for time this is super experimental. Perhaps a bit too long. 09. L'amourir A really interesting, synthy one. I really love the latter half. 10. Pas Mal A nice, quick, fast-paced song to cap us off. Nice and enjoyable. Although not my favorite album ever, this is extremely ahead of its time. This crazy, wacky and strange samples and guitars are absolutely nuts, especially for 1989! I know Pretty Hate Machine came out this year too, and I have no idea how that's not here.
Wow, that's a lot of songs. From my knowledge, in at least the top ten on this list for most songs. Seems interesting, especially with it only being 41 minutes. 01. A Salty Salute A cool opener. I hope the whole album is like this! Nice and smooth. 02. Evil Speakers Has a weird tempo. Cool lyrics. 03. Watch Me Jumpstart The guitar through me off a bit, but I ending up really liking this one! Especially that hook, really nice. 04. They're Not Witches Was fun, lol. Funny lyrics. 05. As We Go Up, We Go Down My favorite vocal performance so far. The instrumental was cool too. Reminded me of Car Seat Headrest. 06. (I Wanna Be A) Dumbcharger Has a really cool, atmospheric sound. I can hear how this has influenced the future! 07. Game Of Pricks Some really cool lyrics, but audibly was a bit bland. 08. The Ugly Vision I see the vision (no pun intended), but I just didn't dig it. Sorry, not into this one. 09. A Good Flying Bird All of them have sounded this way, but this one especially sounded SUPER amateur. It's kinda cute because of that, though. 10. Cigarette Tricks Literally went past while writing the track review for A Good Flying Bird. Was kind of funny, lyrics are nonesense. 11. Pimple Zoo Really didn't like this one. Worst track so far. 12. Big Chief Chinese Restaurant A worse As We Go Up, We Go Down. Not bad, just bland. 13. Closer You Are Catchy, but that's really it. A relatively weak one. 14. Auditorium Doesn't make any damn sense. I feel like we've had this song already, too. 15. Motor Away A great one, finally! Some beautiful lyrics, and a great instrumental! Favorite so far! 16. Hit Vile. I have no problem with the f-slur (coming as a bisexual man), but in here I feel like they say it just to say it. Plus, the other lyrics fuckin' suck, along with the instrumentation. I don't care that it's only 20 seconds, my least favorite song from this 1,001 journey so far. 17. My Valuable Hunting Knife Iffy on it. I don't like it, but I also don't NOT like it, ya know? 18. Gold Hick My favorite sub-minute one so far, at least. Still didn't love it, but is better than the other ones. 19. King And Caroline Meh. Just alright. 20. Striped White Jets Sounds weirdly finished compared to the rest of the tracks. One of the better ones. 21. Ex-Supermodel I think there's literally someone snoring in the back. Don't like this. 22. Blimps Go 90 Was cool. Not my favorite, but wasn't bad. 23. Strawdogs Something about this I just really like, but I don't know why. Great song...? 24. Chicken Blows A unique track! I really enjoy the wavering effect in the voice! 25. Little Whirl What's the point? It's not a bad track, but like, I feel nothing. 26. My Son Cool Okay. Cool lyrics. 27. Always Crush Me Feels wrong. I can't describe what I mean, you just gotta... hear it. 28. Alright Meh, was alright. Is cool to end this off with an instrumental piece, but it didn't blow me away. This is... a mess. Nothing feels connected. It all sounds like it was recorded through a tin can twice as well. I can get behind that, hell, one of my favorite albums is The Pod by Ween. But this sounds like crap. Don't get me wrong, there are some great tracks here (Chicken Blows, Striped White Jets, Watch Me Jumpstart), but a lot of this feels like filler. And I usually enjoy albums like this!
Aw FUCK YEAH!! I've always wanted to listen to this, even before doing this list. The backstory of this is badass (and sad), and I've always been intrigued! 01. What We Do Is Secret Oh yeah. I'm gonna like this. A political song to start off? Count me in! 02. Communist Eyes Just cool as fuck. 03. Land Of Treason So kick-ass!!!!!! Immaculate instrumentation!!! 04. Richie Dagger's Crime So fuckin' fun. Awesome guitar!!! 05. Strange Notes Absolutely BANGIN' bass!!! Vocal performance is kick-ass too!! 06. American Leather Extremely hard to make out the lyrics on this one, but still sounds badass. 07. Lexicon Devil Super infectious! Absolutely love it! 08. Manimal Great lyrics, with a lot of energy!!!! 09. Our Way Honestly pretty generic compared to the rest of the album. Still great! 10. We Must Bleed Feels like a mantra. Scary, even. Love it. 11. Media Blitz The sampled TV half-way through is badass. A song that's still true today. 12. The Other Newest One I'm not the biggest fan of sex songs... but this is lowkey a bop. Still don't care for the lyrics, but damn this is fun. 13. Let's Pretend My favorite so far. My favorite lyrics so far. I don't wanna get into it. 14. Dragon Lady Ohhh.... dragon lady.... *cums*. (Really fun and cool song, sick instrumentation.) 15. The Slave Was cool, too short to live an impact. 16. Shut Down (Annihilation Man) A wee bit longer than the rest of the tracks. Was usually improvised live... which I'm pretty sure includes this recording. It's cool, but it's not something I particularly love. Reminds me of Nameless, Endless by Nirvana. This is badass. This quickly has become one of my favorite punk albums!
