Mediocre grunge. These guys are actually partly responsible for starting the genre.

Favourite songs: In 'N' Out of Grace, You Got It (Keep It Outta My Face), Touch Me I'm Sick, Need, No One Has

Least favourite songs: Sweet Young Thing Ain't Sweet No More, Halloween, Mudride

This is garbage. Apparently this is Sonic Youth's goth phase, so it's like goth crossed with shoegaze and alt rock, but really it's just noise. I'm sure a class of 2 Yr olds could make better music. I don't get this fad of noise rock. Untalented fuck-tards just wailing on musical instruments.

Favourite songs: Bubblegum, Tom Violence

Least favourite songs: Death to Our Friends, In the Kingdom #19, Green Light, Secret Girl, Marilyn Moore, "Madonna, Sean and Me"

1/5

A very powerful album signifying the importance of strength through unity. The album focuses on the theme of racism, and was released shortly after the death of George Floyd. SAULT released the album initially for free with all proceeds from subsequent sales going to charity. They released a second album, "Untitled (Rise)", 13 weeks later which continued the theme of this album.

SAULT are known as a "music collective" moreso than a band. Their style could be called neo-soul with electronic/house influences. There are elements of R&B, jazz, funk, electronica, and soul in this music. It is a harmony of so many different styles that it is hard to nail down. Part of the beauty of this album though is the fact that so many genres and styles of music can come together to speak out in unity about systemic racism and police brutality.

Favourite songs: Bow, Wildfires, Don't Shoot Guns Down, Eternal Life

First time I ever heard Tom (and knew who I was listening to) was the first album of his I had on this generator... Heartattack and Vine. Ever since I've been a huge fan! He's so experimental with what he does which keeps it fresh. I love his dirty blues style!!

Favourite songs: Walking Spanish, Union Square, Big Black Mariah, Downtown Train Gun Street Girl, Clap Hands, Tango Till They're Sore, Singapore, Hang Down Your Head, Time, Blind Love

Least favourite songs: Bride of Rain Dog

5/5

Today's album is indie rock, similar to Arcade Fire or Fleet Foxes, but more gothic maybe.... Dude sounds uninterested in singing, so he more moans than sings which is big with goths. By the end of the album, the bands style was starting to grow on me, and upon second listen I started to appreciate it a bit more.

Favourite songs: Lemonworld, Anyone's Ghost, Little Faith, Conversation 16, Vanderlyle Crybaby Geeks, Runaway

Least favourite songs: Afraid of Everyone

Not too bad for a new wave record.

Favourite songs: Personal Jesus, Enjoy the Silence, Halo, World in My Eyes, Policy of Truth

Least favourite songs: Sweetest Perfection, Waiting for the Night

These guys wrote 3 of the songs that Nirvana played on their MTV Unplugged record (Plateau, Oh Me, and Lake of Fire... All of which are on this record). These guys are an odd genre. Sometimes it's straight grunge, other times it's like country mixed with punk or grunge.... Which I've learned has a classification.... It's called cowpunk.... What an awesome name. I don't mind this stuff, as long as you ignore the fact that the singer can't sing... Like at all. I'm Not Here is a good example of that "cowpunk" style. It sounds like Johnny Cash on speed.

Favourite songs: Lake of Fire, Plateau, Magic Toy Missing

Least favourite songs: Teenager(s)

4/5

This album starts out heavier to the trip hop side of things and it's pretty good. After about 4 songs, it strays heavier into the ambient/trance styles and kinda goes downhill for me... I'm not on enough Ecstasy to enjoy random noises.

Favourite songs: Time to Get Wize, Into the Paradise, Water From a Vine Leaf

Least favourite songs: "Best Friend, Paranoia"

2/5

This album is fucking beautiful. Nick Cave wrote it after his son died. It's super heavy and emotional, understandably so.

Favourite songs: Bright Horses, Spinning Song, Sun Forest, Galleon Ship

Least favourite songs: Leviathan

Wikipedia classes Nitin as Asian underground, which upon further research, makes sense.... Asian underground is a term associated with Asian musicians (in this case, British Indian) who fuse traditional Asian music with Western underground dance music, like trip hop or drum and bass styles.

Favourite songs: Immigrant, Broken Skin, Nostalgia

Least favourite songs: Nadia

Oh my fuck jazz is boring. It all sounds like elevator hold music. And Miles Davis' music in particular drives me nuts. I know the dude revolutionized jazz, but a trumpet has to be the most annoying sounding instrument ever. Even moreso than bagpipes. This whole album just kind of ran together for me, and I can't really say there was a stand out track on it. It was all just a monotonous jumble of piano, rat a tat drums, and brass instruments. I may have dozed off a few times throughout, but how would you know...

Overall, much better than Bitches Brew, but still so far out of my wheelhouse. May be ok as background music in a fancy restaurant, but I would never just sit and listen to a jazz record..... Ever.....

Favourite songs: All Blues

Least favourite songs: I don't really know.... It all sounded the same, and I didn't really care for any of it.

2/5...i mean, the artists have talent, that's for sure, but it's just so dry...

Second album of hers I've had. I had heard Paper Planes before. It's interesting. She's Sri Lankan and mixes world music with hip hop and electronica. So it's like a world trip hop fusion. Its not bad at all.

Favourite songs: Paper Planes, Mango Pickle Down River, 20 Dollar, World Town, Come Around, Bamboo Banga, BirdFlu, Hussel

Least favourite songs: The Turn

Fuck this antisemitic ass hat.

U2 is just so.... bland. Like Dollar Store soft rock. I have an irrational hatred of that band, and I don't really know why. I just never liked them. Maybe it's because the radio constantly played their music and it just got washed out to me, maybe it's because Bono is an insufferable douche canoe, who knows... This album had a really strong start as far as U2 goes. 5 of their hits in a row.

Favourite songs: Stuck in a Moment You Can't Get Out Of, Elevation, Walk On, Wild Honey, Beautiful Day

Least favourite songs: Peace on Earth, Grace

3/5

This album can't decide what genre of music it wants to be. This is the second Super Furry Animals album I've got on this generator, the first being Fuzzy Logic, their debut album. This one feels more cohesive at least, but still couldn't hold my interest. I don't see much of a difference between this and the plethora of other boring britpop bands that this generator seems to love. The cover art looks like something a 9 year old created in MS Paint in 2 minutes.

Favourite songs: Sidewalk Serfer Girl, (Drawing) Rings Around the World

Least favourite songs: No Sympathy
