So I decided a long time ago when I got a Kanye album I wouldn’t listen to it. There’s no way I can without actually funding a fucking nutjob Nazi. This after more than 750 albums is my first one which is crazy since I have at least 2 others. I do remember listening to it when it was released. It was peak Kanye is a genius time. I remember thinking this album fucking sucked. And that he was overrated at best, and a fucking talentless hack at worst. Bound 2 is the only track I have any fondness for and that’s because it kinda sucks in a way I dig. Any I’m going to listen to an album that is not on this list or at time of writing the user list but I’ve wanted to listen to for a while.

I’ve tried listening to Geordie Greep’s The New Sound and I always stop after track one. The problem is I love the first song. The character he’s describing sucks so bad in a good way. But I’ve never gone farther. And so here we go. Really enjoy it. Inventive music about horrible scumbags, like YOU the listener. 4.5/5

Fuck the rules here’s a bootleg. I guess it’s had an official release by this point but still. Uh…it’s more Bob, all the good and bad that comes with that. Except now he sorta sounds worse and better in many aspects.

Really hard to pinpoint a genre other than, cool 80s college radio stuff. It’s most like REM, but stands out in its own.

I think this album is good but Oasis really did inspire a lot of bands to embrace bloat. I wish more of these tracks were crisp and ended like a minute sooner.

I wish this was. Less sexy and more. Active.

IT STINKS

Listening to Nick Cave always feels like fucking work. Like I have to get ready before listening, and give it my full attention. And I just don’t need that on an album about his dead son

I’d be curious to see what the book says about this album. I do enjoy it but I don’t know if I’d say it really shines in any particular way. It sort of feels like a lesser Wu Tang solo album.

I kinda love how bombastic and over the top it is. It’s like Arctic Monkeys but actually good lmao

Disco like this is always great and then it keeps going for another 30 minutes repeating the same thing. High on a dance floor I bet you don’t care but casually listening at work? Ehhhh

It’s pretty great. I think the beats are maybe weaker than the earlier albums. By the Time I get to Arizona is an all timer. One of the best songs ever

The singles are the singles for a reason. The deep cuts are deep cuts because they fucking suck

This album rules. Look of Love is one of the greatest pop songs ever, but the whole album is a masterpiece

I thought Rufus Wainwright was a 1970s Americana act and now I learn he’s a Radiohead ripoff. And a boring one at that.

Uhhhhh I like two of the instrumental tracks. I find them more emotionally compelling than the songs that are trying hard to be edgy or scary.

Uh. I was kinda expecting more? I don’t think he has much of a voice that stands out to me.

I listened to Night in the City in a packed Philadelphia subway car during the World Cup and it was a delightfully visceral experience. This whole album is awesome. I get why ELO has its haters. I will not be one of them.

Soulful and beautiful. Still prefer funk to soul but this is definitely a great album

The best Ramones album is a greatest hits. Mostly because the stuff on here that’s only okay is completely forgettable. I do like how they say massacre.

I fucking hate the way so many British alternative albums were mixed in the late 80s. Everything sounds so washed out and the fucking vocals are a whisper. Maybe to hide the lack of talent. This is like the Stone Roses but worse. And I hate the Stone Roses. Occasionally there’s an idea I like so I think it survives a 1 but still. Woof.
