If You're Feeling Sinister

Belle & Sebastian · 1 likes

1/5

This guy's voice has a very punchable face. Seeing Other People is good enough theme and lyrics to overcome, but rest was meh to bad

The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan

Bob Dylan

2/5

I think I'm interested in listening to some good covers of these songs with real instruments. Please no more harmonica.

3 Feet High and Rising

De La Soul

3/5

Eye Know still legitimately sounds good. About 3 other classics (Magic Number, Buddy, Me Myself and I) that sound fine, but only in context that they're nearly 40 years old. To reach 23 tracks mean lots of awful skits and filler songs

What's Going On

Marvin Gaye

5/5

Kind of hated Save the Children.and thought Flying High and Wholly Moly were mediocre. Basically the rest are good to amazing

Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs

Derek & The Dominos

3/5

Nothing cut thru the generic blues guitar/vocals sound except Layla, Anyday and Bell Bottom Blues

Cloud Nine

The Temptations

4/5

En-Tact

The Shamen

1/5

Technical advances make it really hard for electronic music from the 90s to age well. Adding in lots of white guy rap with zero flow makes it even harder.

Electric Warrior

T. Rex

3/5

Nothing besides the gong caught my attention, but nothing too cringe either

In Our Heads

Hot Chip

3/5

Really liked Flutes and The Chains. Others neither stood out nor offended

Low-Life

New Order

3/5

Liked Love Vigilantes a lot and also Elegia and Sunrise were good. 3 of the 8 tracks were god awful

Boston

4/5

More than a feeling and Long time were both great, the rest also totally cromulent

good kid, m.A.A.d city

Kendrick Lamar

5/5

As always, a 12 min medley is a bad idea (Sing about me), but am willing to overlook. A few great songs, just that 1 unplayable and threads needle between cohesive vibe without being super repetitive sonically

Live And Dangerous

Thin Lizzy

3/5

Liked the first 2/3 of the album in terms of good vocals and plenty of guitar-y guitar, although nothing besides Boys are Back in Town was particularly memorable.

Lost Souls

Doves

3/5

Firesuite, Sea Song and Catch the Sun all sounded like good songs, but I wasn't motivated to repeat any of them and probably will never listen to any of them again.

Low

David Bowie

2/5

Sound and Vision was the only song that was actually good

Guitar Town

Steve Earle

2/5

Think I made solid effort at being open minded but found all of these songs super boring

C'est Chic

CHIC

3/5

Every bass line was awesome, but only Le Freak (amazing) and I Want Your Love (great) were actually above average as songs

If You Can Believe Your Eyes & Ears

The Mamas & The Papas

2/5

California Dreamin is awesome and I liked Go Where You Wanna Go. Rest were meh and I hate Monday, Monday

Safe As Milk

Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band

2/5

I thought Zig Zag Wanderer and Yellow Brick Road were fun, although not sure they were actually good. Instrumentals at the back-end we're awful.

Floodland

Sisters Of Mercy

2/5

I was into the idea of this but it wasn't campy/dramatic enough. Instead it was background music to me, prettying boring. I liked This Corrosion and Dominion/Mother Russia best.

If You're Feeling Sinister

Belle & Sebastian

1/5

This guy's voice has a very punchable face. Seeing Other People is good enough theme and lyrics to overcome, but rest was meh to bad

Endtroducing.....

DJ Shadow

3/5

It's basically impossible for instrumentals to be great songs, but a lot of these are actually good (Building Steam, Stem/Long Stem, Mutual Slump, Midnight in a Perfect World) and none are terrible

Darkdancer

Les Rythmes Digitales

1/5

Sometimes was a fine song

Rum Sodomy & The Lash

The Pogues

2/5

Drinking songs should have good choruses. Wasn't paying close attention but I didn't really hear any on this album

Opus Dei

Laibach

1/5

First few songs were corny enough to be fun, but then it got more boring

The Downward Spiral

Nine Inch Nails

5/5

I didn't end up finding a 3rd song to really get into, but Inside and Hurt are too good and none of the songs were bad

Morrison Hotel

The Doors

3/5

Sneaked into a 3 by being short. Only 2 good songs--Roadhouse Blues and Waiting for the Sun--but rest of it was over before I was hating it

Ramones

3/5

Pretty boring sonically other than Blitzkrieg Bop but still enjoyed Judy is a Punk, Let's Dance and Today Your Love. I guess I didn't find any of the songs funny or transgressive enough to be interesting but liked it when they were getting a bit soft.

It's Blitz!

Yeah Yeah Yeahs

5/5

Yes newer music is better. First four songs are all great, none of the songs are cringe and it's over before it gets boring

The White Room

The KLF

1/5

Better than sha-men but unfortunately still electronic music from the 90s

Imperial Bedroom

Elvis Costello & The Attractions

2/5

The Queen Is Dead

The Smiths

3/5

Liked all of I Know it's Over, Bigmouth Strikes Again, and There is a Light that Never Goes Out, but didn't repeat any of them, so fell a bit below really liked/4 for me

Bongo Rock

Incredible Bongo Band

3/5

Hot Shots II

The Beta Band

4/5

Ágætis Byrjun

Sigur Rós

2/5

Achtung Baby

5/5

It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back
