Rated 6/10
There’s some real inspired and interesting music here. There’s also some pretty underwhelming vocals, both in content and delivery that cheapens the whole thing. Firewater is my favorite example of this, as the singer sounds like he’s rushing to fit all the words in, and none of the words are worth it.
Rated 10/10
Before I listened I was dreading yet another 2000s Brit rock shitshow. But instead this is a shockingly understated and mature album that I really like! Pretty and layered and lovely.
Rated 4/10
Man. I just don’t fucking care about 90s Bob Dylan. This is such a waste of a spot. It’s like, hey man, remember Bob? Well he’s back and sounds raspier and shittier than before. I’d rather one of his dumpster 80s albums just to be like, listen to this legacy act suck ass rather than this comeback.
Rated 6/10
I think this is good but not great. I wanted her voice to maybe be…worse? I dunno it just kinda hung in the background
Rated 6/10
The Beastie Boy’s mature, but not that much
Rated 4/10
The average song on here is 5 minutes long. 5 MINUTES OF HOOKLESS RAMBLING HIP HOP. There’s glimpses of something better but sometimes the production and repetition just drives into your brain and it just sucks
Rated 4/10
Man it sounds awesome, do not listen to the lyrics closely. You Can’t Fade Me is…a really disastrous song. Just reprehensible
I love Too Rye Ay, it’s amazing. Do All three Dexys albums need to be on this list? Uh. No. And I like all three!
Rated 8/10
The obvious comparison is Blackstar, and like that album it’s impossible to separate the death from the album. It’s a swan song, a heavy laden one at that. The music could be better but it is a great listen regardless
Rated 6/10
Foreign language hip hop is so hard to properly rank because so much of hip hop is dependent on the lyrics. I know like. Basic French, so I understood maybe 30% of this. It’s definitely fun but so much is lost on me
Rated 6/10
Devastating. Hater learns Coldplay isn’t dogshit but just kinda boring
Rated 4/10
It’s like he went “I’ll show you a Leonard Cohen ripoff” and then made this not very good album
Rated 6/10
Sort of a giant slow bummer. I like my Beck playful
Rated 4/10
As someone who grew up in the Detroit Suburbs, I unfortunately know much of this album. That unfortunately means I also think the first two songs in this album are kinda good. Bawitdaba is a pretty good anthem for society’s rejects. I also like how Cowboy has like random honky tonks into southern guitar solos. It’s fun! The rest of the album? BAD! Kid Rock is personally gross. But shit man. Those first two songs are FIIIIIINE
Rated 6/10
Literally nothing to say about this. Pleasant folk.
Rated 8/10
I’m DEEPLY nostalgic for this album. My mom played it a lot. I used to sing “why does my fart smell so bad, please open the door.” It also features my favorite version of Run On, which is like saying my favorite juice is Mountain Dew. There sure is a lot of crap filler I DON’T remember on this album. So that’s why it’s not getting 5 stars
Rated 4/10
zuton deez nuts
This feels like it should have been an earth shattering event, like has there ever been a collaborative album between three titans at the heights of their career in any genre? The Traveling Wilbury’s I guess. CSNY in the sort of obscure. But this feels monumental because
It’s also good.
Rated 6/10
Weird to have this Bob Mould album and not fucking Zen Arcade. I’d even take New Day Rising. But we get Warehouse and this. It’s good but like, generic? Good Idea and Hoover Dam are excellent.
Rated 6/10
It’s alright, I think he does better with the rocking songs than the country songs. Something about his voice
