Not THE Yes Album but The Yes Album still makes me say Yes (3.5/5)

This list has made me a much bigger Neil Young fan than I could’ve ever imagined. However I am so sick of repeat artists. It’s been more than 2 months since I’ve had a week without Neil Young or Nick Cave. I just don’t see how this album deserves an extra slot or what it’s doing any better than the other Neil Young albums on here. So personally (3/5) but I’m docking a point for repetition

Not bad but nothing a step above your local rock band, this feeling was only reinforced by the slew of covers near the end (2.5/5)

Slander these hussies gramps 🔥🔥🔥

I’ve been cursed with a streak of “very middle of the road” albums (2.5/5)

Sugar pop from not my favorite era or my favorite vocalist. We got the beat’s vocals always bothered me and it didn’t help essentially copy and pasting it 11 times

Let me preface by saying this was fine (2.5/5) but good fucking lord enough with the Nick Cave! This is the 5th album from him, 3 within a week, and I’m so sick of the broody plodding tone. There is nothing significantly different in 4 of these to justify their inclusion and he should be top of the chopping block next revision. For example, with Ozzy’s recent passing, it’s actually criminal Blizzard of Oz isn’t on here while this goober is hoarding entries

Ohhh that Stills. Cool to hear an “individual” effort and I stills enjoyed it (3.5/5)

Fred going crazy on that yayo. This was great from an artist I’d never heard about and it’s aged very well (3.5/5)

Out of the several generated this has been my favorite Nick Cave album. It’s no easy feat to turn grief into any artistic expression but it feels very heartfelt and easy to connect with (3.5/5)

I had just relistened after the Back to the Beginning concert and I happily relistened again. Maybe a top 30 album of all time for me. Bill Ward goes crazy on this album, Iommi makes multiple iconic riffs that almost every guitar player ends up learning, and Geezer keeps the arrangements tight with an incredible tone.

Perfect album and rest in peace to the Prince of Darkness, your legacy will live on forever
Of course then there’s Ozzy delivering some of the best performances of his career along with some of the most well written Sabbath songs in their catalogue.

War Pigs, Iron Man, and Paranoid are eternal. It has my favorite Sabbath song, Electric Funeral, a massive precursor to doom metal.

The blandest album, for fans of “yeah I like music” you know the type

Sleepy synths and sweet serenades. The hit kinda seems like lightning in a bottle (2.5/5)

A really good snapshot entry for modern R&B and im surprised the list goes this current (3.5/5)

Got this on a Wednesday what the hell (2.5/5)

Some special variety mixed into this, not what I was expecting

It’s a little silly and I don’t know if I’d go out of my way to listen again but there is some charm here. He really does evoke someone reading spooky short stories at a campfire in the woods

What’s with all the Hoople. I like the variety of strings instruments to jazz up an otherwise middle of the road rock album

Not a country fan but I didn’t mind this for about 3/4ths of the project, but it really started to drag. Which is nuts to say about a sub 30 minute album. (2.5/5)

“School House Rock-ass music”- Al

His voice will never not be goofy and it is a detriment to the music. Although it wasn’t too grating and I didn’t mind this album (2.5/5)
