Damn talk about influential. Literally every motif that shows up in here reminds me of another electronic song or video game music or some kid uploading songs on SoundCloud. I just wish it was a little more vibrant? Exciting? Different? I dunno it’s lacking something.

Every complaint I have about Good Kidd is not present on this. It’s unbelievable.

This is way better than I thought it would but also my entire view of Slipknot was shaped by the dudes I knew in middle school who were all nice but also kinda scared me. I was not a cool kid. Anyway.

This made me think of Mean Gene Okerlund and Predator and that’s pretty fuckin cool.

This album sounds great, really listenable. But uh, SZA have you considered going for a dude who’s cool? I’m not saying the stupid why doesn’t she go for a nice guy thing, like. Just a guy who doesn’t cheat, or who has his life together. Or learn how not to catch feels when the dick is good. If I was SZA I would simply date a normal not shitty dude. Or go to therapy. That might help too.

Deadass thought this was Boys Like Girls when I pulled this. Anytime an artist has fewer than 50k listens on Spotify on this list you just know someone got a favor cashed in or something. Is this the authors roommate from college or something?

This is fine. Incredibly derivative. Kinda reminds me of Nine Inch Nails’ more boring songs. Why is this here.

Paul Simon continues to baffle me. Why is a song set in New England accompanied by Peruvian flutes. Lots of Incan Pentecostals?

Also the Red Wings were notoriously shitty when this album was written so like. Hell of a hockey team? Buddy.

Anytime a song on here literally makes my jaw drop it deserves massive acclaim. The sound on Passing Complexion baffles in. I don’t know how exactly they did it, all I know is I want someone to sample it in hip hop. I will dock one star if only because so many of the songs are trying WAY too hard to be edgy.

Every time the Smiths or Morrissey on this list I’m filled with dread and then every time I actually listen I’m like, oh okay this is actually totally fine. That said ladies after listening to Girlfriend in a Coma if he’s a Smiths fan? That’s a red flag

I wish they were more manic

Definitely Mediocre

More like, Club Classics, there’s only one.

YAY!!! The supposed worst album on here!!! I’ve been looking forward to this day! This is one of those times where I think an album that sounds bad to me personally but at least was made with vision and heart is WAAAY better than some generic shitty soft rock stuff. There’s actually some good stuff on here if you can get past it. It’s anxiety inducing and fuck man, I might get laid off from my job at any point and honestly this has been a better reflection of my feelings than any other music I’ve heard in a while.

Definitely not what I expected. This is like an indie tribute to a very specific type of 80s rock. I got a lot of 80s Bruce and Rod Stewart, but people nailed it with Don Henley. Here’s the problem, these songs are too long, and the singer is too mediocre to outshine those better songs. There’s a few highlights, but my god are they too long

This really doesn’t deserve to be one of the lowest rated albums on here.

This might be THE quintessential 3 star album. Nothing about it is bad. But nothing stands out either. It’s a consistent samey through line. There isn’t a highlight. There isn’t an embarrassing ditch. It’s truly the most average album I’ve heard on here

First half is a 5, second half is a 3. The best part is I don’t have to hear their baby brained political takes on this

One of the funniest album covers of all time. If it wasn’t for one of the most important albums of all time we’d all laugh at how dorky and 1970 it is. Anyway. It’s Black Sabbath. It’s awesome. There’s one hiccup and it’s barely that. This album rules

Ah jeez. I really wanted to like this but it really is a dirge. None of these songs are fun or up lifting. It’s all bummers all the time. I don’t know when I’d ever listen to this. Atlantic City is the exception, and if more of the songs were like it this would be 5 stars. But I can only give it 3

Kind of unimpressed. It’s not bad but I also can’t remember anything outside the hits
