Never heard of them before but I liked it a lot.

I fail to understand the hype around this band. A couple of good singles does not make an excellent album.

Every track seems familiar, even the ones that weren’t singles.

Country music normally gets one star from me but this made me chuckle a couple of times so an extra star for that.

Reminds me of Jonathan Richman & the Modern Lovers
The Cure
3/5
I love the Cure when they rock it out but there’s not much of that on this album.
Michael Hurley
1/5
Just not my thing at all. I only give one star if I think that the album is one that I could never listen to again. This is one of those. Sorry to whoever listed it.
Madvillain
2/5
Bruce Hornsby
4/5
At times I thought that I was listening to Steely Dan but that’s no bad thing. Enjoyed it more than I expected to.
Noname

Couldn’t get into this at all. Sorry!

I always wondered if this guy’s voice would grate when listening to a whole album. It does.
Lady Gaga
4/5
Every track seems familiar, even the ones that weren’t singles.
Kayo Dot
2/5
Every now and then there was a bit where I thought it was going to liven up a little but those bits were very few and far between. I got bored well before the end but stuck it out in what proved to be false hope of enjoyment.
Bloc Party
4/5
Various Artists
2/5
It sounds like something that someone has knocked out on a cheap Casio keyboard in their tea break.
Men I Trust

Nothing outstanding but pleasant enough as background music.
Harry Styles

Unremarkable but perfectly listenable
Final Fantasy

Teenage Fanclub

4/5
Quirky vocals over fractured beats. I couldn’t decide if I liked it or not so I gave it the benefit of the doubt as it would probably grow on me with more listens.

Enjoyed it. Will be well worth listening to some more.
Chappell Roan
3/5
If I didn’t know I would have thought it was Taylor Swift.
Psyche Origami
3/5
Good to hear that a hip hop album can be made without gratuitous over use of obscenities.
Ozzy Osbourne
4/5
One extra star for sentimental reasons - RIP Ozzy
David Allan Coe
2/5
Country music normally gets one star from me but this made me chuckle a couple of times so an extra star for that.

It grew on me on a second listen, hence the fourth star.

Run of the mill and formulaic rock.
The Tragically Hip
4/5
Never heard of them before but I liked it a lot.
The Heads
3/5
The National
2/5
This geezers voice is so monotonous it makes even the uptempo songs sound boring.
Chromatics

The Avett Brothers
3/5
Unexceptional but pleasant enough for background listening.
The Upsetters
2/5
I always think that the guitarists in reggae bands must get really bored.

Martha

4/5
I liked their early stuff a lot and was disappointed with the second album but this is good enough for four stars.
Sublime

I didn’t think I was going to like this at first but, in the end, I liked it a lot.

It wasn’t at all what I was expecting but it turned out to be great! If it had been in English I may have given it five stars!

Not just a great album but also a little bit of history.
Wishbone Ash
3/5
A band from my youth that I never much knew about so thanks for listing it. Beforehand I thought it might be a two star album but it was nearly a four!
Deltron 3030
2/5
Started off with an open mind about it, soon got bored and changed to something else three quarters of the way through.
Vulfpeck
4/5
Music is always better if it sounds like the guys making it are enjoying themselves
Marillion
3/5
Dedicated to all those 40 year old girls called Kayleigh

Folk Punk? WTF! Not for me I’m afraid.

of Montreal
3/5
Sometimes great, sometimes good, sometimes awful and sometimes annoying, sometimes all in the same song. Intriguing though.
Courteeners
4/5
Heard these guys lots on the radio but never listened to a whole album. Pretty good 👍
Gang of Youths
4/5
I wasn’t sure about this one at first but it got better as it progressed.
Streetlight Manifesto
4/5
Sounds like how The Pogues may sound if they were American.
The Marcus King Band
4/5
It slowly grew on me 👏
Hombres G
4/5
A quirky choice which would be even better if this non Spanish speaker understood what the lyrics were about. Maybe it’s about violently slaughtering Burt Lancaster. Or maybe it’s a love song to him. Who knows? 🤷🏻♂️
Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass
2/5
My old Dad used to love Herb Alpert but it’s not my thing but two stars for nostalgia and memories of my long gone Father.
Garbage
4/5
Another band I’ve been well aware of but never listened to a whole album before. I enjoyed it 👍
Joan As Police Woman
3/5
Good in parts, dull in others.
R.E.M.
4/5
The last half decent album that REM made.
Sparks
3/5
Somewhat dated and WTF were the “comical” comments between tracks?
Crystal Castles
2/5
Reading the Wikipedia page about this album I thought that I might like it. I didn’t much.

4/5
I’ve been a big fan since the start and think that he’s always been underrated. This isn’t his best album by a long way but it shows where he came from and is well worth four stars of anyone’s ears.

Vampire Weekend
3/5
I’d expected that a band called Vampire Weekend would be more edgy but this is ok as it is, I suppose. However, my music provider played other tracks from the band once the album had finished and some of those were far better than anything here.
