Queen is the most just listen to the singles bands I’ve found on this list so far. The shocking thing here is that they EVER thought a song as middling and generic as Tenement Funster should make this album. It’s shockingly shit. Why they were like damn Freddie sit out singing on this song. And the result is the most boilerplate shitty hard rock song imaginable. What if we used none of our strengths? Our unbelievably strong singer? Nah. How about our killer harmonies? Fuck that. Brian you have some insane guitar tones…don’t use any of them. I fucking hate that song. It’s worse than any Kid Rock or Limp Bizkit. It’s insane that it exists.

Anyway the rest of the album is good. But my god do I hate that song with a passion. Fuck you Roger

I never know what to think of this album. I like it a lot more in theory. I think it’s a little lacking musically, but I like the story. It’s tough to rate

Herbie Hancock is so fucking cool

It’s amazing how good the stuff that other artists do on here is and how fucking ass his stuff is. This also spawned the abysmal British white guy does parody hip hop song that was basically all over the UK until like 2007

This is a baffling inclusion not because it’s bad but because it’s just sort of there. It’s inoffensive, a little loose and fun, I think I recognize the hit? But is it some ground breaking 80s hidden gem? No? It’s an interesting blend of jazzy and island music with pop that doesn’t sound embarrassing but I probably could do without it.

Everything about this album sucks ass. The weird creepy cover. His dog ass voice. The worst cover of Shake Sugaree ever. An original song that is WAY better when it was covered. Terrible waste of space

I like the Undertones. They don’t make great high art but they make fun catchy songs I love

I’m trying to figure out why other generic 90s power pop bands speak to me more than this did and I can’t really put my finger on it. Something about the production maybe? The vocalist? It’s fine. But missing any oomph to live in my head beyond this listen

There’s a world where the music and vocals work but not with one another. They clash and make both worse. It’s not good at all.

This sure is a late 2010s R&B record that was critically acclaimed. It sounds exactly like every other late 2010s R&B record that was critically acclaimed.

Inventing a racist character so you can say slurs is such a crazy bit

I’m going to commit a critical faux pas by assuming and inventing a person to get mad at. However, all I could picture during the track Gematria was someone completely missing the point of the song, which is a pretty obvious condemnation of America’s imperial wars especially the war on terror. But because it also makes America seem like a monster who destroys things I feel like there is absolutely a guy who listened to this song and was stroking himself to it while he blew up schools and hospitals and stuff.

Anyway. Slipknot is always better and worse than I expect. I both wish and don’t wish they were more hardcore.

I think this album made me finally understand the Cure, in that this is incredibly sad and dramatic but also compelling. It’s too fucking long but other than that I really enjoyed it

The Carpenters are so lame they’re awesome.

This just doesn’t work at all. It sounds BAD! There’s something about the instruments having mid 2000s pop production that sounds so awful. And the lyrics are embarrassing. I don’t get it

Here’s the rub, the music is fantastic. A real showcase of country. Two hours of excellent performances. Problem. It’s two hours. If you cut out the talking you’d probably save like 7 minutes.

More like Aerosmith SUCKS.

Nah I’m kidding. Aerosmith is a band I’ve never had strong feelings about positive or negative.

This is fine. Definitely think a song like Rats in the Cellar is them at their best. The biggest problem with the album is the lyrics which are consistently ass.

I’m not really sure how any grown adult can hear Get the Lead Out and be like, yeah this is quality music.

You’re allowed to say this album is mediocre. It’s okay. There are times it sounds good. But there are times I just hate it. Too syrupy. Too dumb.

Two classic new wave hits on one album? And then a bunch of okay filler? Sure. It’s better than a generic album but really doesn’t cross into great. 3.5

An electronic album I really enjoy. Who’d’ve thought. It’s really good. That first track knocked my socks off. The rest of the album is a little more ambient and slow but still interesting. Really impressed
