Finally…my last Morrissey album. More of the same. It really begs the question, why are there so many albums of his when every album feels the same?

Why the fuck are there two Doves albums on here. A band I’ve literally never heard anyone talk about. Generic shit. Dime a dozen generic shit. Music to fade out to.

It’s horribly bloated. But it’s also pretty good which is annoying. Eric Clapton does have a load of talent. It’s a shame he’s so fucking annoying and stupid

C’mon man

Such an innovative forward looking album that also manages to sound nice.

I’m gonna wind up loving this aren’t I. LOL NO WOW THIS IS HILARIOUS THIS SUCKS. This joins the ranks of so bad it’s good albums on here which are rare but I do love them. Fuck me.

Sort of a baffling choice. I feel that about almost every post 2015 album. I think that’s the benefit of hindsight. This makes sense maybe as an album that’s emblematic of the more retro pop sound that was and still is popular? But I can’t say this album does it in a way that’s exceptional

So pissed I never listened to this before. It’s so good. It manages to presage a lot of the synth pop that’s really become mainstream nowadays

Mother’s Little Helper is so good and the rest of the album is so…fine. And then there’s an 11 minute blues disaster that sucks and I just hate this album. It avoids the 1 star for a few bangers and that’s it.

The second song sounded really cool but it also reminded me of how much Joni Mitchell loves doing black face. So you know. It’s complicated.

Rules right off the gate and is super weird in a good way and then it trips all over its feet in the back half. Gotta say as far as 1990s Brit pop on the list this one actually feels like it deserves a place

This is a damn good album. The title track and Omaha aren’t just good country songs, they’re good songs in general. Also it’s an album that doesn’t out stay its welcome. Good stuff.

God Steely Dan. I think this is my last dalliance with them this project. I started it with them. They’re delightful every time. And this album is no exception. It’s funny, tight, great. Again it’s sort of like all their albums where some of the tracks just fade into the background.

I went into this thinking it would be 1 star and instead this is one of the best albums I’ve heard on this entire list. This album is incredible pop music. You really need a tolerance for that late 80s sound but this is close to perfection

Massive attack of diarrhea more like

Yeah whatever

Interesting concept, botched execution. I really liked the other Sepultura album on here because it was a refined thrash album. Almost as smart as that can get. This is sort of like that but for nu metal. Problem. Nu metal is not meant to be smart or high concept. It will always kind of suck. And it works best the more it fucking sucks. So that leaves this album in this sort of limbo where I want to praise its risks but also ask why this direction. Bummer.

Wow, another banger by the Talking Heads! Who’d have thought.

Hey, you know what aged really poorly? That song where Fred Durst and Korn Man insult each other

At times this was really nice and felt like a hidden gems. At other times it just sort of sounded generic and uninteresting
