This shit was silly. At the beginning it feylt like I was listening to an early nine inch nails, and at the end, it felt like it was an early American Football. I liked the general vibe, favorite track was wish I was skinny.
I liked this album. Didn't t love it but enjoyed it a lot. I enjoyed that all the songs felt authentic to biggie's lived experience, and often led into each other with some short skit or scene about life in the hood. I wasn't the biggest fan of how the album had one speed the whole time, would have loved some variety to pack some punch into a few key points or themes. That being said all the tracks were solid so hey, if it ain't broke don't try to fix it. Shout-out to how he sampled artists like the Sugar Hill Gang and the Beastie Boys(?), and then has like 3 of the transition skits about just, fuckin'. My favorite tracks were the ones with the most catchy backing track like Respect, but my favorite was for sure The What with the train whistle sample.
Honestly, I was expecting a little more from blur... I can definitely feel the early gorillaz sound that Damon Albarn was trying to cultivate, but it felt way to brit-pop for me. Give me this album and I'll just wish it was a Green Day album, but I can appreciate the opening track which is timeless, and London Loves for what they brought to the table and are the only reason I would give this a 3 and not a 2, though this may be harsh because I had high expectations for stuff Damon Albarn has had a hand in.
U2 is my mothers favorite band. In spite of this fact, I haven't listened to a lot of their stuff. Although I have listened to some of the hits off this album, and can say ***if you don't have the patience to listen, at least listen to With Or Without You and I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For***. These tracks to me are the quintessential U2 songs. The album itself was good but those two songs are the real highlights.
Honestly, would have rated higher if enjoyed this music more! If I could I'd give it a 3.5 because this album was really well made but it's just not for me. All the songs fit well, they have a clear vibe and style, and they Bjork's style is really unique! She samples cool stuff like pots and pans, and makes really catchy beats with it, though I think her vocals fall just a little flat. Enjoyable for a listen or a dance to, favorite track was crying. Fun take on a sad emotion with a piano lick that makes me feel like death!
Well they do say you have to fight for your right to party, and with lines as poignant as "I'll beat a biter down with alunimum bat", and beats that sound like they down pitched the bad aftermath of an upsetting Taco Bell order, what's not to love. Favorite track of the album was Shake Your Rump with honorable mention to The Sounds of Science
Nifty opening track, right out the gate they sound like CCR. Honestly thought this album was just a solid album, but nothing of note. It is indeed CCR and they do indeed hit you with that style the entire way through. Nothing wrong with it, it's just nothing ground breaking. My favorite track was Run Through The Jungle, and I enjoyed all the tracks with a catchy or weird guitar line the most.
Honestly, this felt like Arctic Monkeys as they were meant to be enjoyed. big deep drums, guitar licks played on strings of thick sinew, high hats that make you anxious and hurry whatever it is your doing, and lyrics that make you feel like you're running out of time. I really enjoyed this album, and felt like all the tracks were well made and thought out, and fit the album well. Favorite track of the album was Dancing Shoes, with honorable mention to Marry Bum, and a shoutout to British people.
Fun album! all the songs lead into each other quite well, and have great tunes. A very classic sort of blues album, Live At The Regal really does feel like an intimate soiree with B.B. King. I could well see myself getting lost in this album at a barbecue kicking back or at a late night musing of my own with friends over a hand of poker or game of pool. Great ambience. Favorite track was Help The Poor.
The first track would be fascinating listen while on something, but I'm not on something, so my listening experience was really not all that. I thought it had some interesting uses of echoes, and repeating guitar licks that change slightly each time they're replayed. The other tracks were great! My favorite was Can You Get To That, with You And Your Folks, Me And My Folks being another honorable mention. Not a fan of how 10 minutes of time was spent on the opener and closer (2/3 of the album). Really wasn't all that, but the few songs between were great!
Not my favorite album, especially since at least in the recordings I listen to there was high pitched ringing in the background. Certainly an album, but compared to some of the other albums I've heard on this list, not an incredible cut. My favorite track was No Easy Way Down.
Not the biggest fan of this album. Just felt like it was a cool album from a unique noise perspective, but it really didn't have a lot of god feeling songs. Favorite track on the album was Golden Years, which was good, and had that cool clicking noise and echoing effects, and was the one song I felt was catchy on the album.
Fun album! Enjoyed it thoroughly, not much to say about this other than that it was a nice jam to listen to, but not exactly anything insane, just a good cut. Would love it if there were more songs with lyrics, as a lot of the space felt more dance music like, but for what the album did it did well!
Really enjoyed this album. Was doing advanced natural product synthesis (shout-out all my organic chemists in undergrad) while listening through this album for the first time and it was awesome. This album really makes you feel like your moving somewhere quick with its slap base riffs and heated drum lines. Favorite album cut off the album was Dig Your Own Hole.
Nifty album. Very Americana and classic rock. Honestly don't have much more to say about this album. Favorite track was Breakdown.
Yeah okay honestly was not quite expecting this album to show up! Very funny that it did though. I'm a big fan! never listened all the way through until now, and I really appreciate this albums emotional depth. Favorite track off the album was VCR.
Really great album, had some great tracks on there and was a very chill and specific type of jazz vibe that I feel is really hard to get right, and Kiwanuka nails it here. All the tracks felt well made and meshed well, while the songs that stood out made you appreciate their stand alone vibe. Though I love Piano Jointly, my favorite track on the album was You Ain't The Problem.
Not a huge fan. This album made me feel like I had just done a bunch of ketamine and was lying on the floor with a pounding headache after the come down. Some of the songs were fine, but I would need to be in a very specific state and mood to actively seek out this album or music off of it.
This album was a very cool, and what I perceived as niche vibe. Very wispy, high, falsetto almost vocals over low piano which was an interesting combination. The album did well to highlight the singers voice, but fell flat because how every word they say is drawn way out and makes the vocals almost annoyingly sung. That being said, calming listen. Favorite track was Memphis Skyline.
Good middle of the road album. End song is a hit, and an all-time heater, but the rest of the tracks are just alright. Consistent vibe, and the tracks all worked well, but very obviously my favorite track on the album was Don't You Want Me.
Eclectic album, lot of different rock rhythms on here, some screaming others chill. Thought it was meh in all honesty. Can't think of a favorite track on this album, they were all alright.
Really good album, the whole thing has got a great vibe about it and has a good mix of instrumentals and vocals on the tracks. Favorite track on the album was Wish You Were Here.
Perhaps one of the best jazz albums ever dare I say. The tracks speak for themselves. This album is incredible, its got great songs on it, they are all unique but fit well together in an album, the art on the album is cool, and the trumpet and piano take turns being the stars of the show. Favorite track on the album is for sure Take Five.
Great album, had a lot of sort of woodstock folk elements to it that I loved. Definitely keeping this album in my back pocket for a chill rainy day or trip through the mountains. Favorite track on the album was Who Knows Where The Time Goes.
I do not have much to say about this one. It was alright, very 1950's which is like exactly when it dropped, so sure! I would expect the hear these tracks in something like the Irishman. I didn't really have a favorite track, but ig if you twisted my arm I'd say I'm Lookin' For Someone To Love.
This album was nifty. The keys felt perfect for the albums theme, which was heavy, and strained, almost like they were yelling. It definitely had some great comments on the state of American empire at the time, and I appreciated this as some pretty good jazz. My favorite track was The Bottle. The Bass line is damn good
An interesting album. I really enjoy a few of the songs on here, such as Sloop John B., and Wouldn't it be Nice. I appreciated the funny noises, but overall it was just alright. I know critics and others will say this album was insane and groundbreaking, but I think it's just not quite my sound. Favorite song was God Only Knows.
This album is very fun, all the songs feel like I'm in a dark forest and I hear this over my dog dying or something, which is a particular vibe... Favorite song on the album was for sure Blue Ridge Mountains.
Heater honestly, would be great for a misty morning with some rain falling is how I would describe it. Lots of unique sounds and noises in here, and I really fuck with the art and aesthetic of this album. Favorite track is probably two-weeks. Really like the drums on that track.
If fashion is your trade, then when you're naked, I guess you must be unemployed. Honestly, not the huge fan of the album itself, but I really did like Underwear and Common People. It had some good riff's here and there like on Monday Morning, but none of the songs really hit me like I'd hoped they would.
Great Rock album if that's what you're into. I didn't know about The Cult but it's like a comically rock band name for the 70's. Like this is the shit that parents were freaking out about their good Christian children listening to in the 70's and 80's.
Chill sort of thing, I mean what can I say it's the Beatles. Favorite track on this one was the title track cuz I'm like performative like that ig.
I did really enjoy the guitar on this album, and the vocals did work pretty well. I'd say this was a great middle of the road album. The vibe all fit, and the songs were good, but I wasn't like "Zamn! Banger alert!!". So that's cool ig. Favorite track was there she goes again, it has some really cool backing vocals and the guitar hits.
This album was pretty good! Not all of them were bangers, but what can you do an album being all bangers is like finding a unicorn. I enjoyed a couple of the tracks and the rest were a little less enjoyed, but still fine. Really a middle of the road album, does what it supposed to. Favorite track was I Might've Been Queen.
I'ma be so honest, this album when compared to all these others is dog water. Like sure its good club music or like house / EDM for mixing but it is honest and truly so musically meh and they are just saying some shit like bro be so fr this album is not making anyones desert island list.
This one is a certified heater. You can taste the beginnings of the idea of TPaB here, and though it doesn't quite square up to TPaB, this album is damn good. Each track flows well into the other, and they are really damn good while talking some really tough topics like gun violence, religion, and not getting your Domino's when your boy told you he was gonna pull through. My favorite track is either Money Trees or Backseat Freestyle.
Did not like this album's start, really liked how it ended. I came around on this one as some good club music that was disco adjacent, and as some nice summer music. Favorite track was Lady Cab Driver for sure, that ones a banger.
This album is certainly a banger for someone out there, but I just couldn't find myself getting gripped by the music on this one. Favorite track was Mystery.
Yeah this album was pretty good. Fan of the crooner sort of vibe he had going on. Favorite track was Get Ready. He kind of has this Bob Dylan drawl on this track I'm really in to.
"He's a freak of nature but we love him so" This album was pretty good I've gotta say, It felt so California rock and I deeply appreciated that. It was by no means a perfect album, but it was chill. Favorite track was Under The Bridge at risk of being boring, but I also really liked Sir Psycho Sexy.
Pretty good album, there were some real good tracks on here. None that stood out as outstanding, just an all around good album. Favorite track on the album was Kick, Push.
This album is just Beck for people who haven't found out about Beck... Even if I rated without knowing what's up with Kid Rock these days, I would still just say go and check out Limp Bizkit, or Beck, or Eminem. Also, just a very bad taste was left in my mouth from the last song, where he just straight up says the N-word, and just makes a racist ass anecdote. Abstaining from saying a favorite track cuz yikes...
I'ma be so fr this shit like elevator music. If you into House or EDM I'm sure you fuck with this but like, dude they be playing this in like family fun center when you in a heated round of laser tag like be so for real... Favorite track was Ptolemy.
Honestly a pretty good album. I liked how it shifted from one vibe to another back and forth. Really added to the mania of the whole thing. Favorite track was not in fact Seven Nation Army, I really fuck with Girl, You Have No Faith In Medicine.
Honestly kind of a banger album. I'm going to give this one the benefit of the doubt and bump it to 4 because I think the album had a lot of variety, but all the tracks were bangers, and the vibe was great. Lots of songs from this are going on my slow pour playlist. Favorite track was Anyway U Want It.
Okay... I'm not exactly sure what genre this is, but I'm listening to this following listening to an Aphex Twin album and it low key sounds the exact same. If you gave me an Aphex Twin song from select recordings, and gave me a song off this album, I would not be able to tell you which came from which. Not my genre, great for if you're playing laser tag tho. Favorite track was 8080808
Generational bangers on this one. I remember being told that this album was Paul McCartney's opportunity to show that he was a singular talent apart from the Beatles, and he really did show that with this album. This is my first perfect rated album. Favorite track is Let Me Roll It.
Yeah this thing was chill. Not exactly for me but I can't find anything wrong with it so why not. Favorite track was Dirty Boots or Kool Thing.
This album was chill. Ain't no Sgt. Peppers, or Band On The Run, but this album was good. I liked the first few tracks, and the French in Michelle. This album would be a very good album if they kept up the pow of the first few songs, but it kind of trails off. Favorite track is Norwegian Wood
This album was pretty goofy, I kept laughing at every other song because of how goofy the lyrics were, or some goofy noise that was being made. I appreciated this album for being way out there and also good. Wasn't expecting to find or enjoy goofy music like this but lo, I did. Favorite track was I Walk On Gilded Splinters.
Damn heater of an album. I feel like I can be a little bass here and say that this album is not perfect, but it is to me pretty much a perfect album, and perfection is impossible to achieve. This is an incredibly good album and has some amazing harmony on it, and all the songs feel unique and add something to the way you think as you go through the album. Favorite track is so hard to pick, but I'm going to go with Suite: Judy Blue Eyes with a shoutout to You Don't Have to Cry.
Elastic album. I am not a big fan but I can appreciate this for what it is which is experimental. David Byrne's stuff is sometimes a little out there. I think if you liked this album you should check out the artist Widely 2 Diddly, who did the Lisa the Painful soundtrack, which is in my opinion a better take on this experimental sort or stuff. Favorite track was Number 8 Mix.
Recombinant album. This was very prototypical goth music in my mind, and sounded a lot like the police if they had a worse drummer (lovingly), and also Sting wasn't as talkative. Overall, enjoyed as an album to lock in with. Favorite track was Play for Today.
Damn good album. Filled with good covers that pull from a variety of different genres all into the blues realm. Throw this on over a BBQ or on the road and you will not be disappointed. Favorite track was Rock Me Baby.
This album was a long blade of grass. By and large, this album was songs that dragged on too long and didn't really stimulate my musical tastebuds. However! There are a couple of damn good highlights. Favorite track was Damaged, with a shout out to Movie' on Up.
This album was psychoactive. Downright banger of an album, and I have only just recently come around to the talking heads.
This album was rusted. I enjoyed the unique echo vibe my boy had going on, and how he kept that but had several vibes cooking at once throughout the album. However, it was just not the most enticing musically, so sorry buddy. Interested to explore more of Tom Waits' work, but this ain't quite my tempo. Favorite track was The Earth Died Screaming.
This album was like a dive bar in the cascades. Not exactly my favorite sound but I heard some inspiring stuff. Favorite track off the album was More and More - Live at Cafe Au Go Go, NY.
This album was a walk on a city block. This album was all around pretty good, it certainly did not overstay it's welcome and had a consistent vibe with unique songs which is cool. Not a particularly blow your socks off album, but it was pretty good. Favorite track was Higher Ground, gotta love those keys.
This album is chill, kind of reminds me of a glass of milk with ice. It's great for a little while, but once I've been sipping on it for more than 10 minutes, I begin to feel very disinterested in continuing to sip on it... Favorite track was the title one, Green Onions.
This album was an underground bar with sun shining through the basement windows. I enjoyed it, solid middle of the road jazz album. Would recommend for anyone interested in finding new jazz licks. Favorite track was Messy Bessy.
This album was a silly game show (literally). I find the idea very cool and hope it went as they had hoped it would! I enjoyed the ride, but the album itself just had a few highlights and the rest was alright. Favorite track was Eye Know.
