I really like The Bends. This album isn’t as good as the bends. It’s actually shockingly boring, with a few very good moments sprinkled here and there Myxomatosis is a good song.

Never seen or heard of this album before!

Holy shit, what an album. It defies categorization, all I can say is it’s excellent. Funky, jazzy, rocking, soulful, danceable. What a fantastic album. Mad I never knew this existed until now, I would have loved this when it came out.

Uggghhhhhhhhhhhh who gives a fuck about a live Motörhead album, not me especially when I already listened to and was underwhelmed by Ace of Spades a few weeks ago. The only good thing is Overkill is on here which has a fun gimmick. This album sucks, and is the first I can without a doubt say shouldn’t be on this list. Fuck off. And of course fucking Jailbait is on here again, disgusting.

Boy this sure is a heavy hard hitting album! It sure is a precursor to punk and metal! It sure…doesn’t sound very good? You guys know music that’s heavy can be enjoyable right? None of these songs have a hook, most of them drag along, the same bass riff repeated over and over that it gets stuck in your head, never leaving, never improving, never changing, as you wonder about all the much better albums this inspired, and wish you could listen to them, instead of this basic, ugly, and boring album.

This album is great! And then I checked the run time and there was still 20 minutes left and I was stranded on an instrumental. Too long. Tooooooo loooooong.

I think I’ve listened to his biggest album, but I’m mostly unfamiliar. Track 1 rules, it’s kinda unsettling and driving and really good. Second song is more of the same, which isn’t necessarily a good thing. 3rd is a little slower which is needed.

This album is fine.

Why’s this album art so bad? There’s something about it that screams 2004 emo act along with all the songs being names. I know literally nothing about the Cocteau Twins.

Oh wow this is beautiful. I don’t know if I’ve heard anything quite like this. It’s relaxing but somehow also energetic it just makes me feel good.

The bass on Beatrix feels like another singer paired with the actual singer it’s beautiful and haunting, this is so good

Bobby, Bob-O, Robert. I had one of your albums literally 5 days ago. Let’s do it again shall we.

I said in my last album review of his that he really feels like a greatest hits artist. Because no one on Earth would say that Outlaw Blues or Bob Dylan’s 115th dream is his best and adds to the album. The hits are some of the best I’ve heard, It’s Alright Ma is great. The highs are very high, the lows are very low. 3 again.

I don’t get it. Nothing is bad? But there are some baffling decisions that are just bad. The song This Glorious Land has this really dissonant bugle call that just doesn’t fit musically and is honestly hilariously distracting.

I think a lot of the music is…critical of England? I can’t tell if it’s critical or weirdly positive, like is it ironic? The trouble is I can’t tell.

Is this a WWI album? It doesn’t really feel like it. It’s too pretty, needs more grime and grit

I love the part where they sing BLOOD BLOOD BLOOD LET IT BURN. But it sounds like it could be a song circle and has no energy or heart or fear.

This is one of those albums that I totally get why people love, but my god is it not for me

Oh noooooooooo. I’ve never listened to this, but myself, a teenager who loved Nirvana well after Kurt’s death means most of my knowledge of Courtney Love is…negative, mostly colored by what other fans said and also some of her own shenanigans.

To say this surpassed my expectations is an understatement. This ruled.

One of my dad’s favorite bands is Van Halen so I’m going in with a lot of predisposed enjoyment just from hearing a lot of this as a kid.

Jump fucking rules.

Panama was on one of the Gran Turismo soundtracks and will forever be one of the greatest driving songs.

Top Jimmy is when you realize Eddie Van Halen is well deserving of all the praise, those harmonics and everything at the start.

A warranted complaint is that, yeah these lyrics can be pretty misogynistic. But I don’t know if they’re THAT bad. Plus so far every object of desire has been of age, so that’s a plus compared to a shocking amount of their contemporaries.

The album ends a little weakly, so it isn’t a 5, but a really solid 4, surprised how much I loved this

Well. I listened to Bad and gave it one fucking star so let’s see if this is actually good or if I’ve lived a lie being told that this is a good artist.

Immediately off to a better start, this first song is really fun, love the nonsense ending, about vegetables? What? And then the chanting? It’s great.

Baby Be Mine is…fine but horrifically boring. Hey is getting both MJ albums before album #40 gonna fuck up my year end Spotify numbers? I can’t have this show up on my wrapped.

What the fuck is happening with Paul McCartney here oh my god. This is terrible. This is so fucking corny and bad. The doggone girl is mine like it’s the little rascals.

Hey is Thriller dumb? Yeah. It’s really fucking good though. In my head I was thinking it was just the video, but no the production is actually really good.

Hey the guitar solo on Beat It rules. Beat It just rules in general. Same with Billie Jean. The good cluster.

Oh Christ then Human Nature comes up and I wanna barf.

PYT is also gross.

The last three songs are all the shittiest ballad ever I fucking hate this.

I’m sorry, I think MJ might be the most overrated artist of all time. He’s got a few bangers, but beyond that, this no innovation, no interest, majority forgettable album is by the King of Pop? No. I don’t think it is. I’m fucking devastated there’s a third album on the list I get to look forward to. I truly don’t get the hype. Better than Bad though

First dance with Bob on this quest, this is a doozy with what I think is his best song, A Hard Rain‘s Gonna Fall. Buuuuut the blues songs don’t really do much for me, it’s not his best work. I honestly think he’s one of those artists best served by a greatest hits.

This sure is an okay album. Nothing really stands out other than Ace of Spades. BUT this is the first time I get to use my, “this classic rock artist just admitted to being a pedophile” card! That’s an automatic star deduction. This will not be the last time I use it! Jesus Christ!

I don’t know if I have any opinion. I think my only exposure has been being in the same room as Mamma Mia is playing.

This first song is fucking so bad and creepy and weird and European. But it’s also catchy which is truly the evil power of ABBA. How can you hate this. It’s such good pop music. It’s infectious. Its insidious. It rules.

Dancing Queen is just a perfect song, my god.

Dum Dum Diddle might be the greatest song ever written it’s so cute and wholesome in this completely embarrassingly innocent way but instead of being cringeworthy it’s adorable. FUCK.

Knowing Me, Knowing You almost feels like a completely band. It’s so mature and good. Good Lord is this going to be a 5 star album?

Money is so good too. Really love the instrumentals. They manage to be totally of the time without really feeling dated, there’s something unique about them. I really dig it.

Is that a weird vocal effect paired with a weird folksy guitar with a fucking killer synth on That’s Me? This album is incredible, I love it. Holy shit. What the fuck.

Why Did it Have to Be walks in and farts all over the place by using a generic riff and having one of the dudes start singing. It gets better but this is the first hiccup since the baffling first song. The prechorus and chorus are so good, the verses are a disaster.

Thank god we’re back to stupid bullshit I love. Anyone who says these lyrics suck are 100% correct. These people also don’t know how to have fun. This is again one of the greatest songs I’ve ever heard.

This album is so fucking good. I can’t pick a favorite member because all of them knock it out of the park.

Good! Didn’t realize son of a preacher man was from this. Nothing bad on here

Oh my god what in gods name is this. This fucks so hard. I love this dumb edgy album cover. I love metal when it knows how stupid it is. Nothing is being innovated really, but god is it fun.

Christ, I can’t believe I’m going to praise a song called Dead Embryonic Cells, I figured it would be a typical edgy thing meant to shock, but to call like people who have grown disenchanted and disenfranchised by the system they live in that…is actually kinda smarter than I expect from this genre?

Desperate Cry has some amazing guitar work. I will say the drums sound a little off in the album as a whole. But honestly it’s not TOO bad, they might actually add some charm.

OH NO I HATE THIS. Does she have a good voice? Yes. Does she do anything interesting with it? No. The music is so boring. All the songs sound the same and have the same subject matter. The throwback sound isn’t good it’s so boring. When the album finished Spotify recommended Sharon Jones who is also a throwback and is also 100x better because her voice has more range and the instrumentals were fun and funky. I wonder if this is popular because of the *gasp* scandal. She’s singing like she’s from the 60s…but they didn’t talk about drugs and sex.

Oh god, low expectations on this one. This is fine. It’s actually a lot closer to great.
