Jesus a lot of low ratings are popular for this. It’s not that bad? Like it sounds like a very competent pre-grunge indie album with a few standout tracks.

This album kinda sucks. Nothing really interesting. A lot of songs about John Lennon being sad. But I don’t really care.

You should listen to the new cumgirl8 album that just came out, that album was better than this. That album get 5 stars. John Lennon? Only 2

This made me want to eat ribs in a dingy smoke filled bbq joint.

Really dug this album. You can hear the Brian Eno leaking through this album. The electronic sounds are so forward looking too, it’s like the precursor to New Wave. The second half has its moments but is definitely a little too experimental and ambient-y for my tastes. Still excellent!

Queens of the Stone Age is a band I feel like I keep being told I should like despite never meeting anyone who is like, THEY’RE my favorite band. They kept showing up on video game soundtracks, and I remember them being in an episode of Anthony Bourdains show. And the whole time I was like. Eh. They’re fine. They’re the logical conclusion of what main stream alt rock would be post grunge. And it’s fine. It’s perfectly acceptable.

I think this should have been Breakfast in America (which I don’t believe is on this list) it’s a perfectly serviceable album with some real fun songs here and there. It just is about as dated as an album can get haha

This album ruled until the weird needless homophobia in One of Them. It was 5 stars until that song. Way to go 2002

Like. C’mon. It’s gonna be 5 stars

Oh…I was kinda hoping for the like…actual criminal Scandinavian black metal scene. Not…what I can only describe as your cousin’s band HE’S really proud of, but he’s like 35, and still lives at home because he just needs his big break. And I guess he got it. But like. He didn’t deserve it. I can hear the influence on a lot of things but who cares it sucks. It does suck in the special “this is so bad it’s hilarious” kind of way which is always nice.

As a treat look at the band picture of Venom on Spotify, it’s 3 dudes who look like three different versions of the same metal head who’s into different genres of metal. What a joy.

I remember the first time I heard Rolling in the Deep on some weird ass indie music streaming site and it blew my mind. It’s so good. I kinda wish Adele had more songs with that energy and vibe. Her sad stuff is good too but doesn’t tickle the same itch. The worst part is the whole thing suffers from early 2010s production sound. I don’t know what it is, but all pop had this sound to it then and it’s kind of grating as times gone in, I wanna say it’s like 2008-2013, something about that sound is repellant to me. Blegh

I remember that I listened to this album but I don’t remember anything about it. I feel like this is almost like you took every band from the 70s and distilled it into this, unremarkable grooves and riffs with one song that hits harder.

Flugelhornist, can’t recall ever hearing an album led by flugelhorn. It’s a jazz album and I never know how the fuck I’m supposed to rate or talk about them. It’s fine, I don’t know if it has any stand out tracks,

One thing about the march of time is that around the 2000s you start getting these last testaments by great acts. You Want it Darker and Blackstar come to mind. But this album is probably the first I think of. A last dance with a legacy act. And country is a fantastic genre for it. Getting old? All the weariness comes forward. Better than that is this album is inventive, covering all sorts of songs including famously NIN, a thing that on paper sounds INSANE but in practice is one of the most devastating performances ever. What an album. 1000% belongs on here even if you dislike it. This is an important fucking album, it says things about life itself dammit hahah

Not as good as the other album on here, kind of has one idea and repeats it the whole time, as opposed to the much more inventive and imaginative sequel. Bleh

Over and Over is the most nothing song imaginable.

The Ledge is at both amazing and horrible, love the energy, but why does it sound so awful.

How is this the most expensive album up through 1979, it sounds like shit what the hell happened. I usually don’t notice production weirdness but even this remaster sounds tinny, it sounds like it was recorded on a weird child’s Casio sometimes, there are times this wall of treble just overwhelms everything, it’s like being in a forest of cicadas. Jesus.

Ugh god when we’re not doing weird up tempo folk nightmares we’re doing generic power ballads like Sara, the DRUMS are mixed SO BADLY HOW DID THEY SPEND A MILLION ON THIS WHATS HAPPENING.

Are all of you rating this highly because you like Rumours so much? Are you scared of hurting Fleetwood Mac’s feelings? Because you shouldn’t be. This is very bad. What Makes You Think is so loud in all the wrong spots I don’t understand

Storms? More like Snores! This is the biggest mood killer I’ve heard. I don’t know what’s worse these shitty ass 70s nothing happening ballads or the bafflingly terrible production on the other songs. At least those are interesting.

That’s all for everyone just blasting in with a weird vocal effect is so funny. It’s also one of the most unnecessary songs on any album, did you know you can skip it and miss nothing. Because you can.

Not That Funny is hilarious. I actually kinda love it. The goofy synth, the fun beat. This is my favorite song so far lmao.

Sisters of the Moon feels like a parody of a Stevie Nicks song, which is very funny. Vaguely witchy lyrics? Sure. It’s at least the first song on the album that doesn’t sound awful which is good for a change.

Angel has AWFUL lyrics. It starts with a non sequitur. Blegh. I love when these albums become long spite listens like this. This albums a one if you couldn’t tell by now. Unless the song tusk blows my mind and even then it’s too little too late.

That’s Enough for Me is so fucking stupid. Again compared to the previous nothing it actually brings a genuine smile. Like hey remember the parts of this album that suck in the unique way!

Brown Eye’s starts and immediately fucking sucks, so let’s talk about the album cover. Dirty recycled paper. Barely visible title. Little terrier biting a pant leg. That little dog is a metaphor for the bad production. It’s so bad. This is just a baffling album all over.

Cry sucks. Next

The whiplash I’m getting from the ballads to the shitty keyboard will never not make me laugh. It’s amazing. I Know I’m Not Wrong? I know this album is wrong. Fuck it they didn’t put any effort in neither will I.

I just skipped to Tusk, I didn’t miss anything I can assure you, looking at the lyrics and the first few seconds.

Tusk is…uh…well it’s interesting at least. OH MY GOD THAT SOLO, that reminds me of the drum solo in Paralyzed by the Legendary Stardust Cowboy. Go listen to that instead! It’s better! It’s so much better than this whole album.

This is a rare thing among albums. It’s almost so bad it’s good. Almost. It just sucks so bad my god…

One of those cases where every review in here is correct, what if we made the bookend songs all time classics with complicated and breathtaking soundscapes and made the rest of the album boring and sound like shit

This album is so boring as a whole. I remember so many of these songs from when I was younger. But Jesus, as an album you could put these songs in any order. It’s like 3.5

Every now and then my record store would have a massive used CD sale where a bunch of shit was $1, and there’d be hundreds of bands you never heard of, but you’d look them up because their name or album cover was kinda interesting. They all sounded like this. Completely forgettable and uninteresting. Who cares oh my god.

This is way more energetic and hard hitting than like a dozen metal and punk albums on this list

I always really dug the Jazz Crusaders album with the shoes on it. This being the same group with a different name. Kinda love this short ass album opening with an 11 minute jazzy disco epic, I like it! It’s a fine album. Nothing groundbreaking
