I've never been a fan of hiphop. At least this classic hiphop style. This album hasn't changed my opinion on that. Some samples are really cool. Like the jaws theme. I could never think of something like that. It's just not for me at all. Good flow, sometimes annoying voices, but overall not outright garbage. I just see it as I do all hiphop. It's not doing anything interesting for me.

That one dude kinda looks like young Prince William. WOW, this dude has the annoying voice that today's 'indie geniuses' have. Damn, he really was out there in '78 being the 'manipulator misunderstood white guy' before it was cool. It sounds decent until he opens his mouth, honestly. No; just no, no, no, no. I can't listen to this; I can barely finish this whole album. I tried giving it a 2, but I just cannot do such an egregious act. The instrumentals are fine. Maybe I would've given the album a 3 if it had another singer; but as it sounds now, please, I just don't want to hear this again. Please God, please. Language Problem is horrible btw. Almost everything about this is terrible. If I wanted to hear guys moan I'd open Twitter not Spotify.

Well, first of all, that's a great album cover. I love it. The music, though; it's not bad, but it's not amazing either. It's fine; it's not like I discovered something out of the ordinary today. Sometimes I have an issue with her voice, sometimes the instrumental gets too bland; there's always something. Not once is a song fully good throughout, so I'd say this is a lower 3, more like a 2.5.

I didn't pay attention to the lyrics 'til the very end. What do you mean, 'Every time I see your dick, I see her cunt in my bed,' Ma'am? Interesting lyrics for the time period. If people lost their heads when 'WAP' came out, I'm curious what the reaction was to hearing 'barbed wire pussy' on the radio. I'm actually trying so hard to understand the deep lyricism in this song. Like, did the girl he cheated on her with have a 'barbed wire pussy'? Because this didn't make much sense to me. It doesn't make it sound like he was attracted to cheating, so to speak.

A 'bear trap pussy' would have been a way better choice of words. He got caught in it and couldn't get out no matter how much he tried. No matter how much the OG girlfriend loved him, what they had, everything is out the window because he cannot escape anymore, like actual hunters. Fucking around and finding out. Or is it her pussy that is, in fact, barbed wire as a punishment for his cheating? She knows that he cheated, but he doesn't know he's been found out yet. So, in a way, this is similar to the bear trap. In that scenario, he got trapped without knowing; the moment he realized it, he couldn't escape anymore. In the second scenario, though, he just realized he's been found out, so he tries to escape but he gets caught in the barbed wire. Again, he cannot escape, for his actions cannot be forgiven, so in the end, he must suffer regardless of which scenario was meant to be the true one. I actually can't tell what she meant. Anyway, thank you for coming to my TED talk; see you on another review.

For a second i thought this list was finally gonna be inclusive and feature an album that's not American or British, but once again I'm proven wrong. I'm Eastern European so I have no idea if this was a popular band/ album. That wasn't the case in my country, I can tell you that much. I mean I know Le Freak, but that's about it. I was under the impression that it was a French song all my life.

I don't care how influential this was for its time, I'm purely rating it based on how much I enjoy it. I feel like it would have been better if the songs were shorter because nothing really happens or take form throughout them. Like yeah, they sound nice, but it's the same thing for 5 minutes straight. Maybe the lack of more various lyrics in some songs also plays a part in this. I just don't feel like I gained anything after listening to this if it makes sense. It's a fine album. Groovy. Just not something I'd seek out to listen to.I enjoyed my time listening to this, I wish I could have enjoyed it even more.

I feel like there is a shit ton of better Indian music that you can choose to add to this list. I'm not that into electronica, this whole album feels atmospheric for a lack of a better description. Interesting sounds, but it's just something you would hear in the background of a local cafe or tea place that's trying to go for that oriental vibe. That whole trippy, out of this world, let's take some LSD vibe if that makes sense.

It's not for me at all. It's interesting, enjoy it if you want, but I just can't get through this. It's not the worst thing ever. It bores me so fast though. Some of these songs I would barely call songs. This is the type of music they would play in American movies about India. Action movies to be specific. It's just giving me nothing. Growing up, my grandma used to be obsessed with Indian dramas(I feel like each Eastern European and Balkan get this one) and the soundtrack on those was MAGNIFICENT. Even the background extra sounds were better than this album. I'm not even gonna mention Bollywood songs. Those absolutely SLAP. Do I understand a single thing? No. Do I get up to do the Saki Saki and Sheila Ki Jawani dance each time I hear those songs? Hell yeah. And there are many more incredible bangers that India put out.

OK is the best song on this album. Soni is pretty good too. I'm actually vibing a tad bit. It's not enough to get this album out of the trash bin though. I just can't enjoy this. Just beacause you are using some traditional elements doesn't make this a masterpiece. If you wanna act so cool and different because you like music outside the English sphere, at least pick something interesting. If I hear a single person say this is their favourite Indian album I swear to god I'm gonna pull some Indian dramas type stunts on them.

I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS. AN ALBUM THAT'S NOT AMERICAN OR BRITISH??? NOT AN OUNCE OF ENGLISH?? GOD DO YOU TRULY EXIST?? DID YOU PITY ME? FOR HAVING TO LISTEN TO ALL THAT SAME BORING 60'S AND 70'S ROCK AND FOLK AND DAMN I'M ACTUALLY GONNA CRY.

First of why is "chanson" a style? That just means song. What else can I expect from English speakers though? It's like saying Taylor Swift's style of music is song. French songs from that time are so interesting. My French teacher used to play this type of music for class all the time. How wasn't an Edith Piaf album included is beyond me, but hey there is at least a bit of French on here. I have to grab at any crumb of European diversity on here. A Romanian album is never gonna be on any list of this sort, so I have to celebrate what I can. I'm so fed up with that punk, punk rock, folk, grandpa rock. Why include an album that has two sentences on Wikipedia and the arist singing it has like 50k listeners. It's clear I'm not in need of listening to that before I die. Anyway great day, love this guy, though Stromae is my favourite Belgian singer by far.

It's a live album as well?? I've just noticed that. It's the best one I'd heard on this list. It's incredible. This guy truly is talented. More stuff like this should have been on this list, but I know that tomorrow when I wake up, another Bob Dylan album will hit me.

Not really my type of genre. I've just never been a fan of it. Still, it's not a bad album, just not for me. All In Love Is Fair is incredible though. I love everything about it. The other songs don't come close IN MY OPINION. MINE AND MINE ALONE. The other songs are in general alright at their best and listenable at their worst. Amazing voice, amazing instruments, I just can't like it. It's kinda bland for me. Not in an insulting way, more of a won't wanna listen again anytime soon way. It's good, just not for me, but good nonetheless.

Has some great hits on it. That said this area of rock isn't my favourite like at all. If we consider the big genres, rock is by far my all time favourite, but this glam metal sub-genre isn't to my liking that much. It has such a specific sound. Each time I hear any song that's part of it, I'm transported back to my teenage self when I would hang out with my friends at this place in my tiny town that always played this type of music. That's a bit unusual cuz I was a teenager like 5 years ago. So, hearing this album filled my nose with a powerful cig smell and my mouth with a strong beer taste.

Alright album, but it's better in smaller doses if you ask me. I'd listen to a song here and there from time to time.

Kinda generic for the time period. Not the worst album but boring, bland and repetitive. The vocals also annoy me too much sometimes. THIRTY-SIX SONGS OH HELL NAW. I feel like people only liked this back then cuz if you bought it you BOUGHT it. You were stuck with it. You were forced to listen to it. To like it eventually. I would've given it to a friend as a gift. Well, they wouldn't be my friend anymore after that, but hey it's better than having to listen to this in full ever again.

How are two songs making up half of the length of this album? Just how? Also I find it funny that exactly those songs have the least plays.

What the actual fuck is going on? Like in all honesty. I hated his band, Can. It seems his solo career isn't any better. I don't even have anything to say about this album. Just keep it as far away from me as possible. God I hope this is the last time I have to listen to this guy or his band or anyone else involved in the making of this trash.

Robert why did you make this list? Why? Just to see us suffer? Isn't it enough that God has cast us aside and abandoned us? WHY torment us further? If there is a hell then this list is for sure played on repeat there.

I've never heard of these guys before. All I know is that if I were around in the 80's this woman would definitely have been one of my gay awakenings. Not anywhere close near Stevie Nicks, Kate Bush and Debbie Harry, but she would've been there somewhere. I was born in the wrong generation not because music sucks now, but because I missed my chance to fangirl over these women.

Anyway back to the album. It's nothing groundbreaking. It sounds pretty much like I would I expect. It's not BAD, but I wouldn't call myself a fan. I'm not THAT into this type of punk/rock or whatever it is. I just know there were a lot of people doing this at the time so it's nothing really incredible. It's an alright album. Kind of the same as with other many albums on this list. I don't hate it, but I don't like it enough to listen to it again. Had a good time while listening though. Just not my jam.

I was confused when I saw that there were only two songs. Then I looked closer and oh god. I get that this is more common for jazz, but I just haaate it. Call me too young for only being alive during the standard 3 minute song, but it's just the sweet spot like it or not. I enjoy longer songs, but it's just such a rare occurence for me. These songs clearly don't fit into that. The songs sound pretty much the same for ALMOST 20 MINUTES STRAIGHT. I'm sorry I just can't like this at all. I'm strictly rating based on how much I like the music. I just can't repeat this experience like ever. It doesn't sound bad. he wouldn't have been that popular if it did, it's just that... it's bland? I don't feel anything listening to this. It's cool and all, maybe it works best as some waiting room background music cause the type we have now is horrible.

Final thoughts: Not interesting to me in any way, sorry.

Rap just ain't for me like at all. I get that it has a message, but I just find it boring. Especially the earlier rap. It just blends together. I finish an album and it's just like I've listened to an hour long song. It's a genre I won't ever be able to get into. If u enjoy it congrats, have a good time listening to this cause I won't do it again any time soon.

The archduke didnt die for this.

I only know Take Me Out. Alright song, nothing extraordinary. That's how I'd describe the whole album honestly. I don't hate it, but it doesn't have any songs that really stand out. Darts of pleasure is my favourite I suppose.

Also, it would have been funnier if the album were called Gavrilo Princip. That way you could say you're listening to Take Me Out Gavrilo Princip by Franz Ferdinand.

The day has come. My fate is sealed. The dreadful moment foretold by the stars: an Elvis Costello album.

I’ve never heard a single thing from this man, but I keep seeing him mentioned in reviews. I also keep seeing that he has a shit ton of albums on here, which can only mean one thing: they’re all a steaming pile of hot garbage. I have to prepare myself emotionally, psychologically and spiritually before I listen to any of this. God, if you do exist, please have mercy on my soul. But I know that you ain’t real. Or at least not a good god. A loving god wouldn’t bestow upon his creation so many Elvis Costello albums.

Okay, first impression. His voice kind of annoys me at times. It’s nothing incredible. It’s not really my cup of tea, honestly. I’m not an expert on production, I know next to nothing about it, but I feel like his voice is too loud on some songs. I think that was the intention, but it just annoys me. I think I’m going crazy, but the way he sings doesn’t really go that well with the instruments that are played. It feels like there’s him and then the rest, and I feel like that’s true. I think I could’ve enjoyed this album if it were approached differently. Yeah, no reason for six Costello albums. I have no idea what impact this one had, but I’m sure it’s impossible for all six to be that influential.

God, do I hate Almost Blue. It may be the worst song on this album. He’s yelling over the instruments. Was this the best take? The vocals could use some polishing. The instrumentation is varied from song to song, but he still somehow sounds the same in parts. The way he sings the chorus on Kid About It makes me gag. New worst song on the album.

I don’t know how else to explain it, but throughout this entire album there are points where his voice sounds disconnected from the instrumental. He’s also trying to do some things that his voice clearly isn’t fit for. I wasn’t looking forward to hating this album. I really wanted to give it a chance. I just don’t enjoy it. Not my taste at all. It’s not the worst thing ever, but I wouldn’t bring myself to listen to this again. A Man Out of Time is the best on the album in my opinion. I fear the day the next album from him will grace me.

I’m too young to know much about Courtney Love’s drama or why she’s so notorious, so I’m judging this purely on the music. I was already familiar with some of the songs and I do enjoy them. At a certain point, though, some of the tracks start to blend together, which I’m not really a fan of. Maybe listening to each song on its own would improve my overall opinion and rating, but hearing the album all the way through in one sitting kind of taints the experience.

I love the song titles. Ohhhh, it’s the dude that made some of the Call Me By Your Name songs. Is that why he has so many streams? I can’t explain it otherwise. I didn’t like Mystery of Love in the first place, but this album is worse than that song. God, that song. It still haunts me from COVID times. Why did I have to be reminded of Timothée Chalamet fucking a peach? This music is so eh. His voice annoys me, and the instrumentals are just there. A lot is happening but kinda nothing at the same time. The only song that didn’t make me want to waterboard myself was Prairie Fire That Wanders About. It’s still far from decent, though.

How the fuck do almost all songs sound the exact same? It’s the same goddamn melody. I hate this so much. God, why did you bestow this trash upon us? Haven’t we suffered enough already? It’s also over an hour. Was that necessary? HELL NO. Even thirty minutes would’ve been too much. If you like this, good for you. Just don’t talk to me. Enjoy it by yourself.

Am I too European for an album on here again? Why was this so acclaimed? Why is this folk/indie folk, you get the picture, so fucking idolized in America? It’s some of the worst things to come out of music since rocks and sticks. Every day I wake up and thank all the gods I’m not American. Fucking Pulaski. Bad day to speak Romanian. I’m cackling like a 13-year-old boy.

Again, I’m not American enough for this shit. I fucking hate their folk and folk rock and country and whatever other genre this album has. It’s soooooo boring. It's not the worst thing ever, better than Neil Young solo albums. But it's just eh. It's alright.

Yeah, she has a nice voice and not everything has to be overcomplicated. Simple is sometimes an easier way to express yourself and she does express strong feelings. But I don’t know, it’s just not something I enjoy. I wouldn’t be able to listen to any of the songs on their own, let alone the whole album again. It wasn’t an outright terrible experience, so it’s not a 1-star, but it wasn’t a truly enjoyable experience either. The melodies are too similar, like I’m not sure when one song ends and another starts. It’s not the worst, but it’s far from good as well.

DONT FUCKING SHOOT ME PLEASE. So I’ve never listened to an entire Beatles album from start to finish. Up until now, I’d only known like 7 songs and that’s it. It should have stayed that way. Was this something incredible, unheard of, a blessing to the ears at the time of its release? I have no idea, my PARENTS weren’t even born at that time, my grandma was a little kid. Listening to it now for what it is, I just don’t like it that much. I don’t get the hype. I guess it was something fresh for the time, but it’s just not for me at all. I’m not arguing its place on this list, it for sure deserves it. I mean, c’mon, 24 times platinum. This is more well deserving than 90% of shit on here.

How are you gonna go to India to meditate and get inspiration for songs and still write such eh stuff? Again, maybe for the 60’s it was WOW. Most of the lyrics are nothing innovative or clever, stuff repeats a lot. Don’t get me started on songs like Honey Pie and Revolution 9.

The second disc is exponentially better. Why are all of the hits on the first one? While My Guitar Gently Weeps is a banger. It’s the only song I was aware of on this album. It slaps. The rest is either okay or trash or, well, Revolution 9. Honestly, I’m so conflicted rating this. I can’t really pick, I’m somewhere between a 2 and a 3. The first part really left me with no hope, but it kinda gets good later on. Still, there was no need for an album this long with so much garbage filler. I also try to keep that in mind while rating. If it were shorter, it would have been easier. I’m very unsure, but I’ll lean towards a 3. I hope I don’t regret my decision later on. I was really sure it would be a 2 at the start, but it kinda grew on me as it went on.
